OBJECT TO NEW HOSPITAL
LAKE STREET PROPERTY OWN
ERs PETITION COUNCIL TO PRO-
H1BIT TUBERCULOSIS INsTI-
TUTE.

At the council meeting last evening
protest was received against the pro.
posed, hospital for the treatment Of tn.
berculosis on Lake street between For
ty-sixth avenue s and the river. The
protest was. signed by the owners of
real estate in that part of the city
There were fifty ma mes on the petition
among them that Of E. G. Walton, who
controls 347 acres.
The petition was referred to the
council committee on health and hospi.
tails. and the aldermen of the twelfth
ward. It will probably be considered
at the regular meeting Of the commit
tee to be held Sept. 10.
The chief objection against the pro.
posed institution is that it has a ten.
dency to depreciate the value Of real
estate in that part of the city and to
make it unsaleable. It is charged that
the proposition has already had that
effect and that persons who had ar.
ranged to make investments in that
part of the city are holding back or
abandoning their plans entirely.

HAY PRAISES NELSON
MINNEAPOLIS MAN NOW IN GUS
TOMS SERVICE SAYS SENATOR
IS RIGHT ON QUESTIONS OF
HOUR,

Eugene G. Hay of the board of
United States general appraisers, who
is home from New York for the pur-
pose of attending the American Bar
association meeting, speaks very highly
Of the esteem in which Minnesota IS
representatives in congress are held at
Washington. He is in the capitol city
frequently and is In close touch with
events. He says of Minnesota s senior
senator:
Ex-senator Nelson has taken rank as
one Of the leading lawyers of the SEN
ate. and one who adds to his training as
lawyer large experience in public
service and a lifetime of serious
thought on public questions, thus equip
ping him most admirably for service in
the senate. In the present crisis he is
particularly valuable, for while he is a
conservative by nature, and never veers
off into any Of the bypaths that lead
to state socialism, he looks beneath the
surface Of things and sees in its true
light the conflict that is now going on.
In that conflict his sympathies and
active support are always given to
President Roosevelt, in the effort he is
making for. the preservation Of free
institutions. " ~.5

Weather Conditions.

The high pressure area has moved
eastward, and it now overlies Michigan
and Ohio; it's movement has been ac-
companied by falling temperatures and
fair weather in nearly all the region
east of the Mississippi river, though
there were moderate rains yesterday or
last night in northern Michigan and
along the south and middle Atlantic
coast. The low pressure area noticed
over the Canadian Northwest yester-
day has moved to the Lake Winnipeg
region, with somewhat Increased en-
ergy; 1t is attended by rising temper
atures between the Missippi river and
Rocky mountains, and by cloudy. and
rainy weather in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, western North Dakota, parts Of
Montana, and in a narrow strip ex-
tending from eastern South Dakota to
central Texas. The Lake Winnipeg low
pressure area is expected to cause
showery and warmer weather in this
vicinity tonight, followed by partly
cloudy and cooler on Sunday.

No one will deny but that it is
a duty to ferret out crime, graft
and corruption generally, but
really, it sometimes seems that
Americans have gone crazy on
investigation-so out of their
heads that all the good to be
found is overlooked and emphasis
is put on technicalities of error
OF minor nature. Neither the
individual nor the country can
secure the maximum of good or of
enjoyment by taking such a
course. 1t is also doubtful if this
excess of suspicion makes the
country really any better in the
end. Get some good from living
see some good in your neigh
bors and in place of always crit
icizing others, make yourself
better than you have heretofore
been.

know that Saint Patrick was
born on the 18th of March and
that he "drove the snakes from
Ireland" but nine and a half
persons out Of every ten you
might ask could inform you no
further concerning the gentleman
in whose honor this date is OBJ
served.
Biographers differ considerably
on dates and places in connection
with the birth of Patrick, aside
from March 18th, some claiming
that it occurred in the year 3S7,
A. D., while other biographers
claim years at a variance of from
II to IA years from that. 1t is
generally accepted, however, that
he was born, lived and performed
wonderful work for the church.
According to Irish biographers
he founded 365 churches and bap-
tised with his own hands more
than $4,000 persons.
In his 10th year he was taken
by band of pirates, with sever
al others, carried to Ireland and
sold to a petty chief, in whose
service he remained six years,
after which he effected his es-
cape and went to France where
he became a munk. In the year
431 he went to Rome where he
was ordained by the pope of the
day to preach in Ireland. "His
mission was emincntly successful.
He adopted the expedient of adj
dressing himself first to the
chiefs, and improving, as far as
possible, the spirit of clanship
and other existing usuages of the
Irish for the furtherance of his
preaching, nor can it be doubted
that he had much success in
Outstanding the ancient Irish
system of belief and of practice.
He died at place called Saul,
at what age is not known, but
stated at from l16 to 126 years.

In many respects the past
twenty-five years might be called
the patent medicine period"
Through advertising and push
these preparations have been
forged to the front, and the sales
have reached fabulous figures.
In many cases merit has been a
strong element in the success, but
this very fact has brought many
preparations on the market which
did the physical system more
good in leaving alone than in
taking. Some of these latter
will probably be weedei out in
the present campaign against
proprietary medicines, and those
with merit-whose proprietors
comply with the laws-will sur

Electric Lights and Cement Side Walks.

The people of Broken Bow at
the Citizens Caucus showed a
spirit of enterprise that is in
keeping with the progressive age
in which they live, by passing
resolutions requesting that the
city council put in electric lights
and that all walks laid herea after
(where practically be made of CO.
ment and the board walks in front
OF business houses be removed
and cement walks be substituted.
A compliance with these reso-
lutions will require some extra
expense that some will doubtless
regard as hardship, but cheap
er for them in the long run. 1t
is matter that is sure to come
sooner or later and if Broken Bow
is tc keep pace with her sister
towns of the same size in the
state it is time to get move on
ourselves.
The day is not far distant
when Broken Bow will be rail-
road center with no less than
three railroads entering our Dor.
ders and is destined to be one of
the best towns in the state.
Property owners need have no
fears of the future, for any sub
stantial improvements they may
make. Besides that all our prop
erty we'll improved, streets, lawns
and buildings kept in order with
permanent walks of cement, stone
or brick, will alone enhance the
value OF our property more than
the cost, whether we ever
get any more railroads.
