On Thursday night of last week
Gilbert Frost of Manchester township
was taken seriously i'll with severe
pains in the bowels. A physician vas
at once summoned from De Smet and
he then thought it was a case of APP
pendicitis but was able to give the
sufferer a good deal of relief. The
next afternoon his condition became
worse and after another examination
the doctor decided his first diagnosis
was right and advised that he go to a
city hospital for treatment. This
advise was followed, and on Saturday
he was sent to Sioux City accompanied
by his wife. That same evening an
operation was performed and a very
badly diseased appendix removed.
1t was filled with pus and doubtless
would have bursted in a short while.
Since the operation a number Of com
munications have been received from
Mrs. Frost and they indicate that the
patients recovery will be remarkably

Pursuant to call, a section of the

ing c, M. Rubush, of Merieian; w. S.
Hull, of Jackson, and number of others,
either for building or for other depart
ments of the work were in attendance.
1t was a long and tedious process, as
there were number of bids in hand,
and the comparison of the figures re-
auired time and patience, which meant
almost an all-day session. After going
carefully over all the bids, of which
there was quite large number, that

was accepted as the lowest and best.

as stated by Chairman Wainwright, will
