New Hospital At Fort Dodge.

The Commercial club of Fort Dodge
is considering proposition made by
Sister Mary Agnes of the order OF
Sisters of Mercy in Dubuque for a
$4,000 hospital equipped and com

Mary Agnes is the mother superior OF
the order. During her stay at Fort
Dodge Saturday she was waited upon
by a delegation Of business men, and
the matter Of new hospital for the
city with the sisters in charge was
thoroughly discussed. The present
hospital is entirely inadequate to the
needs OF the city and surrounding
country contiguous to Fort Dodge.
The proposition outlined and now be-
ing considered IL for Fort Dodge to
give $4,000 and a suitable site and

claims through the winter and Until

Such an exodus of feminine pioneers
Is unusual and is exciting much inter

kept their plans fairly secret to date
All have taken up claims within
radius OF six miles, SO that it will be
veritable colony of Grinnell young
women. The claims lie in southern
washington. and northern Lincoln
counties. The settlers will take NJ
their habitation in sod or well con
structed frame houses n which tney
may brave the rigors Of a Colorado
winter in comfort. Thei- plan is tc
build their houses as close together as
possible. Four of them, by erecting
their homes in the corners OF tneiI
claims, can be near neighbors, thur
avoiding all danger OF inconsistencies

We have had it on the authority o.
the veracious Ora Williams, newspa

year will agree upon such a division
of the Offices as to avoid all conflicts
in their rank In other words they
will have meetings in Dies Moiles, oil
Chicago, and agree upon the distribu
ton of the Offices and and tne1 the
people will be asked to ''ratify' tae &C
tions of the bosses. The Cellar Rap
IDS Republican wants to know, very
pertiaently:
us that what was meant by the
primary law? We had heard that the
people themselves were toy be given
the power under that law. If the
bosses meet and divide the Offices and
there is nothing for the people to dc
but to 'ratify,' why spend two mil
lion dollars in the way of a primary
election? These are some of the
things that make men wonder and
gasp and stare. If the old crowd'had
