WORKING FOR HOSPITAL
The Energetic Committee Will Push
the Canvass.

A vigorous canvass of the city will
be made next week in behalf of the
fund for the purchase of the ]. b.
Johnson property on West Sixth ave-
nue. for the Sisters hospital.
The price asked is $500 and if To-
peka donates the site one of the finest
hospitals in the state will be erected.
The residence situated on the place
will be used only temporarily, a wing
of the new hospital being erected AZ
most Immediately at a cost of about
$4,000 to be followed by the construc-
ton of the main building. 1t IS proba-
BILE that in a few years the hospital
will represent an investment of $780,
600. Almost one-half of the necessary
sum has already been secured through
pledges and subscriptions-$4,O 0O
Topeka cannot afford to lose the hos
pitaI for the few thousand dollars that
remain to be raised.
The Sisters hospital does largely
charity work. The present hospitals
make provision for charity patients but
they are unable to attend to as many
patients of this character on account
must be taken care of. On the other
hand the Sisters hospitals make i
special effort to take care of the char
ity patients and develop this feature
of their hospital service.
The location of the proposed hospital
is ideal. the grounds are planted with
beautiful cedar and pine trees as well
as the ordinary shade trees, ond
slope to Sixth avenue and fronting 1t
is a beautiful little city park It is
close to the city with good street car
service right at hand.
Ar additional hospital in the city
will not infringe on any of the work
being done by any of the hospitals in
the city now, and will rather tend on
the other hand to build up the rival
institutions

WOULD LIKE TO PAY MONEY.
But the Jail Sentence Does Not Appeal
to Him.

Frank Raynor. the veteran liquor dis
penser, and alleged agent for the Goetz
Brewing company, was fined 800 and 80
days in Jail in police court last evening.
When the police raided Raynor's beer gar
about a dozen laboring men who were
found in the place. These men were put
on as witnesses, but their testimony in
dictated a prevailing lapse of memory.
Rev. Robert Norris. of the State Temper

Norris is we'll posted on joint affairs, hav-
ing secuted around among them extern

of them.
Raynor appealed, but said that he did so
on account of the Jail sentence, and would
rather pay the 800 if that would settle
the case
