In the future there is a pros
pect that a hospital may be
built and that will of course be
a great thing for the city. But
for the pressing and immediate
needs of the emergencies which
arise we would urge that some
sort Of organization be arranged
by which such work as is here
spoken of may be efficiently car
ried out. Just what form this
organization should take the
writer would leave with others
who are more conversant with
such work and who, he feels
confident, will readily rise to
the occasion once the need is
perceived.

Memorial Services.

Memorial services were held
at the Methodist church Sunday
morning. Rev. Devin preached
the sermon Of the day, being
assistedin in the exercises by Rev.
Butcher and Rev. Case. The
church was we'll filed, Harney
Post attending in a body and
filling the front seats. There
was special music by a double
quartette choir.
Rev. Devins' sermon was an
excellent talk on the necessity
for the same high patriotism in
civic affairs today that had in
spired the soldiers who marched
to the front in go and the days
that followed. Among other
things his sermen contained an
excellent analysis Of the char
acter Of Abraham Lincoln.

DR.. ENR|CK is THE MAN
Nomination Conced-
ded by Leaders of
the Insurgents IN
Eastern Part OF
the State

From all that can be cleaned
from newspapers and private
communications DR.. Emrick is
accepted as the logical congress
sional candidate and his success
at the coming convention is
assured.
Ever since the convention the
name has been printed by a
number of Insurgent papets..in
the east with that of Philo Hall
as the candidate. Letters and
kilograms have poured in from
prominent men the east CON
graduating him and in some
cases assuring him of their sup
port. The position taken by
this county seems to be accepted
by the eastern part Of the state
and there is no reason why it
should not be. It is recognized
that this was the first county to
break from the ranks Of Mr..
Martins closely organized
group and declare it's independ-
ence. Throughout the entire
campaign which led up to the
primaries the county as whole
maintained that position and on
the day Of the county conyen-
vention it took a decided stand
and lined up with the forces
that now are in full control Of
the state. For this bold stand
Pennington county is entitled
to its reward, and the reward
that it asksis the nomination of
a congressional candidate from
the Black Hills.
Certain Stalwart papers are
already trying to defeat any
congressional candidate from
the Hills by crying out that the
Insurgents Of this section should
agree upon a candidate. Inas-
much as the only Insurgents
who have so far shown them
selves to be such are to be found
in Pennington county, and as
that county has minated it's
delegation for Dr.. Emrick it
would seem that the Insurgents

the sick and those that are IN
affiiction and relieve bodily and
mental distress wherever we
may meet it. Generally speak
ing the obligation to do this is
well lived up to. We are all
ready with our purse whenever
destitution or atfliction presents
itself to our immediate notice.
But therein lies the difficulty.
One year, not so long ago but
what many ofus still have vivid
memory Of it, 1000 persons
starved to death in the city of
Chicago. Does anyone suppose
that there was a lack of chari-
table, kind hearted persons to
relieve that sutfering9 There
was plenty Of food, and plenty
Of persons waiting to give it,
but the difficulty was that the
actual genuine case Of suffering
were never brought to their no
tice until it was too late.
In this however, and in the
majority Of instances it is not
money that is needed so much
as someone to assume certain
cares and responsibilities. And
herein lies our great need. Our
city is rapidly filing up with
men who have come here to do
the work on which our growing
prosperity depends. They are
grading our railroads, building
our houses, doing all this neces-
sary work, and most Of them
are far from their families and
friends. When one is taker
sick or is injured what is to be
done with hint

HOLY Terror AND EGYPTIAN
Important combina.
ton OF Mining In
terests at Keystone
Arranged by strong
company.

The big mining deal which
means so much to Keystone
and indeed to the whole mining
country Of the Southern Hills
has at last been closed and the
Holy Terror-Keystone and
Egyptian combination is now
an assured fact.
Thursday the first payment
was made upon the Egyptian
claims to the owners. These
are: Mrs. Emma O'Keefe,
Mrs. Alice Shoemaker, Fred
D. Whitney, Dan Holden,
Chas. Brophy, Chas Peterson,
r. Schleuning, Jr., Mrs. Henry
Bierman, heirs Of B. Mitchell,
and the Milwaukee M. & M. Co.
The transfer was made at the
Pennington County bank in
Rapid City, the owners being
present either in person OF by
attorney. The purchasers were
Chas. Morgan Of the Morgan
Steamship Co., whose home is
at orange, N. J.,W. r. Collins
of New York and William Ar
thur Babson, a New York At
torney. Mr.. Collins is in con
troll of the Holy Terror-Key-
stone property.
A strong company has been
organized to handle the consol-
idated properties. Mr.. Morgan
will be president, Mr.. Babson,
secretary, and a Mr.. Clark, of
New York treasurer. Mr.. Col
Inns will be the general mana
ger. These gentlemen control
a practically unlimited amount
Of capital, assuring the financial
strength Of the corporation.
This deal means everything,
not only to keystone but to the
entire mining district Of the
Southern Hills. The mere ru-
NOR that the property was to be
worked again has caused a re-
vival of interest in mining
circles and it is expected that
the operation Of the Holy Ter
Tor will be the signal for a num-
Der Of other properties to start.

MEMS BANQUET.
Given by the Ladies of the
Congregational Church.

The second annual mems
banquet given by the ladies Of
the congregational church was
a most delightful occasion. The
church auditorium was set with
three tables, two lengthwise and
one across the room, seating
about IS persons. Ropes of hy-
drangias ran from the chandi-
lier TO the tables forming a
beautiful and effective decora-
ton. The table was exquisitely
set with delicate china and cut
glass while for decoration there
were great Jars Of Janpanese
inis and scattered clusters of
hydrangias placed the length
of the table.
At eight o'clock the guests
were seated, after grace had
been said, and the first course
passed. Below is given the
menu.
One cannot praise too highly
the exquisite daintiness with
which the viands were cooked
and served, both cooking and
serving being Of a sort that
even the most ACCOMPLISHED
chefs with hired servants cannot
hope to achieve.

toastmaster and was an excel

While DR.. Emrick was in
Sioux Falls recently he was in
terv1iewed by a reporter Of the
Sioux Falls Press. DR.. Emrick
said in part:
"We fought the recent cam
pmgn in the Hills on the theo-
ry that the position taken by
the insurgents was right and
verdict of the people shows that
we were fighting along right
lines. The results prove that
the people were of the same
mind as some Of we fellows who
have been mentioned in connec-
ton with offices and that the
Insurgents were right in their
contentious. We will bring a
large and enthusiastic delega-
ton to the convention from the
Hills and expect to have a Jolly
good time in Sioux Falls"
Branching away from the
subject Of politics somewhat,
Dr., Emrick said that he was
born in Dayton, Ohio, and that
his nearest birth anniversary
fixed his age at 46. That he
had been a resident of the state
of South Dakota for 16 years
and had served three terms of
two years each as mayor Of
Rapid City. That that city is
now entering upon a period Of
substantial growth as the re-
suit Of the approach Of other
railroads and that Pennington
county, in which Rapid City is
located, is destined to become
one OF the most densely popu-
lated counties in the state. That
nearly all the new people who
are going into the Hills as a re-
suit of the railroad buildings
are finding their way to Pen

of the Hills were very we'll

There is no disposition on the
part of the Insurgent leaders of
the state to throw away any
part of their victory. They
have made a strong fight and
achieved a most notable politi-
cal conquest. Having done this
they propose to reap the reward
and will give the nominations
to men and to localities that
have shown strength and have
had the courage to stand up for
their convictions. The efforts
Of their opponents to disorgan-
lze them by trying to breed jeal-
ousies animosities within their
ranks avail nothing.

CLASS Day At HIGH SCHOOL
Class OF Twelve is
Graduated from
the School with
Appropriate Exer-
cises.

Commencement exercises of
the Rapid City High School
were held at the school yester-
day afternoon and in Library
Hall in the evening. The main
feature Of the afternoon pro-
gram was the essays presented
by the members Of the gradu-
ating class which are here given
with their authors:
"Russian Prisons" = Miss
Marie Shyne.
"Railroad Rebates" = Miss
Cora Peterson.
'Bismarck and German
Unity---John Hall.
"Ancient Schools of Philo-
sophy and their founders" Miss
Marjorie Price.
"American Ideals" - Miss
Ethel Ellison.
"Caste in the United States"
Miss Mary Hale.
'"The Key to True Success"
Miss Alta Quiggle.
''The History Of the Glass of
1906"---Miss Lille Peterson.
"Good Advice to the Junior"
Miss Ruth Mansfield.
"Athletics in Our Schools"
Leslie Somers.
"rhe Development of the
Theatre" - Miss Frances
Schrader.
"Beowulf" Miss Daisy
Sucker.
It will be noticed from a mere
reading of the subjects that we
have gone far beyond the for
mer ideas of what a graduating
essay should be, the subjects
being practical, timely and Of
general interest. Those who
were fortunate enough to hear
them read are united in their
expressions Of admiration for
the young authors and their
work.
A "spread" provided by the
juniors for the graduating class
then followed, the juniors wait
ing upon their guests with true
hospitality. After this pleas
ant part Of the exercises the
graduating class retired to pre-
pare for what to them must be
the most important part Of the
Glass Day program, the present
alton Of the diplomas that testify
to their years Of faithful work.
This ceremony was held at
Library Hall in the evening.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated by the lower classes of the
school in the class colors, white
and green. Snow balls and
1e ms formed the main part OF
the floral decorations. An or
chestra rendered appropriate
music.
The invocation was offered
by Rev. F. F. Case, after which
the address Of the evening was
delivered by President Charles
Fulton Of the School Of Mines
He took for his subject "The
Doctrine Of Work" /" 1t was ar
excellent choice and one partic.
ularly fitting to such an occa.
sion. In his treatment Of this
subject DR.. Fulton impressed
upon his hearers the honor thai
lies in hard and honest work
the kind that even IN this too
commercial age ennobles tht
worker in the eyes Of his fellow
men. It was a magnificent ad
dress and after. hearing it no
only the graduates but the whole
audience must have felt thai
they could take up the duties
of life, even the tedious and dis
agreeable ones with renewed
zeal and vigor.
Superintendent Blyman mad

the address and then presente'

HOSPITAL NEEDED
And an Organization to Attend to
Homeless Sick

Lying u0di Ullo pOlllO VI ucttCll
in a back room in Mrs. Gran
dalls lodging house, is Her
bert Edwards, ayoung Austral-
ian. who came to Rapid City
something over a month
ago. With that fine confidence
that is youths heritage, he had
come to this country to study
it's ways and manner of being
and to this end had prepared
himself for the trip by a careful
course Of reading. The writer
was perhaps as close afriend as
he made while in the city, for
he was quiet and reserved in
his way, and in our chats we
talked Of things that showed
his eager desire to learn-of our
monetary system, our wheat
crop and its movement, our
mining laws and customs. These
were some Of the things Of
which he had come to America
to inform himself and he kept
careful notes and used his eyes
and brain to the best advan-
tage.
Last Friday he was taken
sick Mrs. Grandall had left
him in charge of her rooms
while she went to the hospital
for an operation. For a day or
two he lay alone without eating
or sleep ing, or without let
ting any one know Of his con-
dition. Then he dressed him
self and came down to this Of
flee to ask us to recommend a
physician. We gave him the
names of two or three and
he happened first to drop into
DR.. Gifin's Office, and the doc
tor, seeing that he was seriously
sick, sent him to bed and at
tended him with a care and
faithfulness that has since been
unremitting. He was visited
that evening, but the layman's
eye could not see the serious
phase of his illness, as he was
rational and seemed strong, ex-
cept for a high fever and quick
resperation.
Sunday morning the doctor
pronounced the case Pneumonia
and said careful nursing was all
that would save his life. An
anxious afternoon was spent
hunting for some one-anyone
who would care for him, but
without avail until Mrs. Cos
sage, who had been appealed to,
found a nurse and helped in
making some other necessary
arrangements. Since that time
everything has been done for
him that could be done.
All this is so commonplace a
story that itwould not be worth
the telling if it were not for
what follows. And that is for
a young man in such a situation
there is absolutely no place in
Rapid City. The county can
not be appealed to for various
reasons. There is no organized
public charity, for the need for
such an organization has not
been felt except in such isolated
cases as this. There is nothing
except such help as can be given
| by those whom circumstances
have made somewhat familiar
with the case.
| It must not be thought that
such a case is exceptional
There are at least three other
men of whom the writer has
learned since he came in con.
tact with this case who have
had to put up with insufficient
attention while they were sicl
merely because there was ne
proper place in which they
might be cared for.
II there is any point in the
Christians creed on which al
the branches Of that belief ar
united it is that we should visi
