cost about $4,000.
Another viaduct, to cost 5000 900, may be
built along Catalan street. from Second
street to the river bluffs at the southern
terminus.
At Chain Of Rocks and on the bluffs south
OF the Altenheim splendid parks requiring
little treatment, are proposed. the former
to contain sixty-fve and the latter ten
acres.
NEW PARKS PROPOSED.
It is recomme nded that recreation
grounds be made of ffty-eisht acres at the
southern line of Forest Park. extending
southwardly LOO feet to Wise avenue and
2-26o feet westwardly from Kings highway.
An opportunity is afforded in the valley
there to create large lake.
Fortysix acres Of ground now owned by
the Christy Fire Clay Company. located be-
tween Pernod road and Nottingham ave-
nue.. may be converted into a park. to pre-
vent manufacturers from using It and
thereby spelling the boulevard at that
point.
Another park. embracing twenty-five
acres, may be located at the intersection Of
Kings Highway and Penrose street, from
which branches Of the boulevard are to d-
verge to OFallon Park and Calvary Gene
terry.
II Is suggested that at some future time
the boulevard system may be extended to
Jefferson Barracks. On the Northern end
a branch to the Fair Grounds may be ad-
visable. as the latter Is apt to become a
public park. These plans are not included in
the estimates OF costs
At various points on Kings Highway It
IL proposed to widen the boulevard to en-
brace broad. park-like promenades and car
riage esplanades.
The principal improvements Of this char
acter are to be located on the border OF

In ;ts report the Kings Highway Com

creation OF park and boulevard system as
already outlined:

OF our population who are unable, as a whole, to
leave the city In times OF summer heat. and as
a proper recreation ground for them on holidays
and the many half-hodays of the year. they
fully justify their cost and maintenance.

spend the comparatively small sum of money
needed.

Montgomery of No 1924 Osceola street and
Edward Ross Of No. 3943 Blair avenue. were

A new occupation was discovered for the
City Hospital by Police Judge William JEFF
ferson Pollard yesterday when he sentenced
Della Cliff to serve term in that institu-
ton to undergo moral treatment.
Before arriving at this unique decision
Judge Pollard consulted with Health Com
missioner Starklofr and obtained the lat
ter's consent to the proposition.
Della tried to end her life Tuesday night
by swallowing morphine. and yesterday
when she told the story of her troubles to
Judge Pollard the latter became so i'm
pressed with the pathetic nature of the case
that he considered it would be a crime to
send the girl to the Workhouse.
Although only II years old. the girl has
seen much Of the dark side Of life She ran
away from her home in Jefferson City last
summer because she said her parents had
forced her to marry a man whom she de-
spised.
ATTEMPT TO KILL HERSELF
WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL
Coming to St Louis alone and without
friends she entered upon life Of shame,
and finally. when her soul revolted, she
tried to end her existence.
After the Dispensary physicians had sue
ceeded in saving her life she was locked up
by the police, charged with being an inmate
Of an immoral resort. and yesterday when
she faced Judge Pollard. after having spent
a restless night of repentant meditation be-
hind prison bars. she was anxious to undo
the. work of the doctors.
Il don't want to live any longer" she
told the Judge. as she tried to hide her
tears by covering her face with her hands
Il am go sick Of and disguised with the
life I have been leading that I want to die.
1t matters not to me whether you send me
to tho workhouse or to the Penitentiary.
either Is preferable to the place where 1
have been staying"
In this vein did Della talk to Judge Pol
lard until the latter became firmly con-
WINGED that he would be violating the un-
written laws of society by Fastening the
prisoners ultimate ruin with a Workhouse
sentence.
To set her free would be to turn her into
the streets. back to the disgrace from
which she had sought relief In death,

! thought the Judge. and he declared to him
self that If there ever was a case worthy
of human tenderness It was the one before
him then.
THOUGHT OF HOSPITAL AS
A MEANS OF REFORMATION.
The inspiration of the hospital sentence
came into the Judges mind while he was
| struggling with the problem Of tho girrS
/ future. He considered the idea a. an e1-
pertinent wondering If term in the City
Hospital would produce the desired moral
! effect upon the prisoner.

his plans to the sobbing girl.

She was willing to go to the hospital and

good She even admitted that the world
already was beginning to brighten IN her

Della stated that she left her homo last
June. and with the exception Of q few
weeks she spent in Sedalia, she has since
that time been in a house on North Tenth
street. -
She was bride Of only . few weeks when
she ran away. She says she was forced By
her parents to marry a man whom she do

CAPITAL REMOVAL

The following from the Sturgls
Weekly Record, edited by G. L..
Moody, is good reading. 1t is
quite natural that the Hills peo-
pie should be morc DESTROYS Of a
competing line entering their
country than another branch Of
the same road now in the Hills.
"Thcre will be surprise in store
for the people of the eastern part
of the state when the votes on
capital location IRE counted next
November. The RECORD believes
that two-thirds, if not three
fourths Of the people of this coun-
try are in favor of q relocation Of
the capital of South Dakota.
They are in favor OF relocation
from purely selfish motives.
The Record is nothing if not
consistent. 1t was the first paper
in the Black Hills to advocate re-
submission of the capital question
during the last session Of the leg
islature. 1t has never had cause
to change its views.
We have hung like grim death
for over twenty years to that old,
faded and shelf-worn idea of u
railroad from Pierre.
We have Rugged that bull
train phantasmagoria until it is
almost sacrilege with some to
think of any place but Pierre.
1t happened that Pierre was the
last place from which the stage
coach numbered and the bull train
crawled before the Elkho.n struck
this country. If the last termi-
nus had been Bismark, N. D. or
Sidney, Neb., some of us would
have maintained that one of these
places should be the capital of the
state-and our reasoning would
be a mighty sight more logical
than now, because either plar5 is
more accessible to the people of
the Hills than Pierre,
And Pierre hasn't overlooked
anything, 1t has showcred pro-
digious professions of love on the
Hills, claiming u support as a
matter of absolute and arrogant
right. Her whole claim for sup
port for twenty years has been
based upon the assertion that
sometime the Northwestern rail
road would parallel its own line
into the Hills. Many of US have
taken that seriously, grumbled a
little about dying of old age-and
Supported Pierre.
AS a matter of fact, the citizens
of the Hills shonld-and will
,tiiis capital relocation ques-
. just as it seems 10 be forced
oil as Wehaye voted and plugged
for The present location thirteen
or fourteen Years, not because of
accessibility or desirabiIlty, but
bee s5ls Of promise Of 4 rSiilroad
across the country.
X the building of a railroad is
contingent on the location Of a
capital, lets give Mitchell and the
Milwaukee road a chance. We
be any worse off than now,
and taking Pierre's only argument
gospel truth, we will be infinit
ely better off in the matter Of rail
road connection.
Every voter of the Black Hills
shoald study this matter carefully.
In this issue of the DEMOCRAT
