Black Hills College.

The item that has been going the
rounds of the press concerning Black
Hills college we are told is little mis-
leading as we'll as premature. This
portion of the item has some founda-
tion to it, wherein it says: president
Lewis of Morningside college of Sioux
City has plan to make the Black
Hills college preparatory school for
students desiring to enter Morningside.
DR.. Lewis says he hopes to raise s10,-
600 for the Black Hills college, and if
the Black Hills Methodist churches
will add $1,000 to this sum the school
can be placed on its feet" This prop
sition is being considered and with
much hope of success. In that event
it will not be conducted in any uncer-
tain manner with the fear all the time
that the institution may close it's doors
at any time, but it will be started right
and conducted on business principles.
The Black Hills needs college and
Hot Springs is the place for it. A sue
cessful college here with from one
hundred to five hundred students
would be of more value to the town
than anything it now has. A school of
high standing and consequent large at.
tendance will make life and business
for the town during the winter season,
