6 CANDIDATES Examined
Historical :a;::,e,R'ERs SERVICE

Last Saturday six candidates pre-.
sented themselves for the civil service
examination for the position of mail
carriers in Dickinson. Two of the can
didates. however, passed at the first ex-
animation and were applicants on the
18th just for the purpose of raising their
credits. They were BENJAMIN B. Tay-

themselves for the examination con-

nations before free delivery can be in
augurated in the city. There were three
successful candidates at the previous
examination but inasmucb as Hartwell
johnson has since gone away to the
State University there are but two avail
able. 1t is probable that at least two
more will become eligible from the ex.
animation of last Saturday.
The government postponed the inaug-
uration of free delivery service until
November 16, pending examinations
and it is likely that by the first of next
month Dickinson people will know
whether they are to get the new service
this season or next.

SENATOR PURCELL TALKED
DEMOCRACY IN DICKINSON

On Saturday evening W. E. Purcell.
democratic United States senator, ap-
pointed by Governor Burke, was greeted
by an audience OF some one hundred
and fifty to two hundred, including
many republicans and quite number of
landies of both political faiths.
R. C. Hill. democratic candidate for
county judge, presided and T. F. Murtha,
democratic candidate for states attor-
ney, introduced the speaker. Occupying
seats upon the platform were Rev. Fr.
John Dignam. Ed. Hughes and W. R.
Everett.
Senator Purcell has quite state re-
cord. having been member of the con-
stitutional convention and several times
a member of the legislature. He is a
popular man, good fellow and quite
convincing speaker.
His first effort was to establish John
Burke in the hearts of his hearers and to
prove that Gov. Burke had done every
thing all right and that republicans
should help the democrats give him a
third term.
The tariff came in for large share of
criticism and the senator took pains.to
show the failings of prominent men of
the republican faith from President Taft
and Col. Roosevelt down, saying they
had broken faith in not revising the
tariff downward.
Having been a member of the
Pinchot- -Ballinger investigating COM
mittee. Mr.. Purcell went into this quite
fully-so much 90, in fact, as to be
almost prosy, to show how badly the
republican party is split up condi-
tim which he evidently thought and
hoped conducive to throwing republican
votes to the democratic standard. The
inference was clear, although the
speaker did not force the point, that If
anyone desired Genuine reform he would
find it in the democratic party.
Mr.. Purcell modestly said nothing of
his own candidacy for election to the
senate, depending upon his stand on
national questions ss stated in his
speech and upon his own personal
magnetism to win for him the votes he
did not directly solicit.
Governor John Burke is booked for q
rally at Dickinson, Saturday. October ~.

COMM MENcED
Hospital Plans Approved Work
Begun Thursday-T Two-Story,
Fire Proof, ISL Foot Front
age. 60 to 100 Beds

Plans for the Sisters hospital were in
the city short time this week and were
approved in general so that the contract
for excavating was let and C. H. Wiley
began work Thursday. By the terms of
his contract Mr.. Wiley is to excavate
five feet below Grade and have the exca-
walton in such shape that the cement
work may be begun in ten days and
thus the basement be completed before
cold weather
While the basement plan remains
here for the use of contractors, the first
and second story plans have been sent
to Bishop Wherle and are being modi-
fed somewhat. though not in the main
features.
The hospital will front south on 9TH
ST. North-old Summit Stand will
stand b ok from the street seventy feet.
The lot space on either side will be the
same, 1st Avenue West on one side and
End Avenue West on the other. and ap-
proaches are planned from both sides,
probably on curve.
The plans as adopted give frontage
of Isl feet and the depth of the side
wings is 79 feet. The whole building
is two-story. A solid front extends
back some 30 feet and then continues
back in three wings.
The side wings are 27 by 79 feet and
terminate on the north in 1O-foot open
piazzas At the front end of each wing,
one southeast, the other southwest ex-
posure, are two sun parlors. These are
to be enclosed with glass for cold
weather and may be screened when the
warm weather comes. The entrances to
these-as in fact doors everywhere in
the bospital-will be wide enough to
take bed through.
The center wing does not extend quite
so far north as the sides and ends in a
half hectagon. In the basement of this
wing is the boiler room, etc.. on the
first floor the chapel. and on the second
floor is the operating room with the
necessary north light. east and west
light and skylight.
In the basement will be the kitchen,
laundry, vegetable and refrigerator
rooms, all of most approved arrangement
and equipment. Dumb walters will run
from the kitchen to diet kitchens above
Electric passenger elevators are planned.
Four laree wards will contain. with
out crowding, eight beds each and may
contain ten or twelve without serious
Inconvenience and there are sixteen
private rooms, some for one and some
for two patients. The capacity is sixty
beds without any crowding and an extra
ward or two may be fitted up to easily
increase the number that can be cared
for to one hundred.
Offices, reception rooms and Sisters
apartments will have their place in the
complete plans.
The estimated cost Of the structure was
$50, 600, but it will probably exceed that
amount considerably. Everything, both
in structure and equipment. is to be
most modern and the best known to
hospital practice.

eLoREs OF TAE. NEeLIeEE IIEWELs NEED BEST OF CARE
Present Styles Well Adapted for Max
Ing Garment Both Comfortable
and WeIi-Looking.

The popular "negligee" is an inter
esting part Of the average wardrobe.
In the past. when the wrapper" held
sway with housewives, this phase of
the wardrobe was a thing to be de-
plored. 1t was possibly the Mother
Hubbard's" strenuous use late in the
last century that ousted the style
completely. 1t was about that time
IL that the tea gown came into strenuous
vogue, and even since that era the
negligee has been more slightly
whether the Mother Hubbard wrap
ped and the tea gown had anything to
do with the transformation or not.
The limp materials used now and
the picture" styles are all suited to
the house gown, and unless a woman
! is very seriously incapacitated from
obtaining pretty clothes there is no
reason why even the little morning
slip on" should not be becoming and
attractive. One finds in the shops all
sorts and kinds Of pretty dressing
sacques at. wonderfully small prices.
They may be made at home with still
less expense, to,be sure, and with bet
ter finish, II one is a good sewer But
a large part of the feminine popula-
tion is too busy in one way or another
to do sewing that can be obtained
ready made, and 1t certainly costs less
to buy garments ready made than to
hire them made.
There are women who have a seam
stress to help out with the sewing.
but such helpers are as hard to find
as the proverbial hens teeth. Good
sewers seem to have abandoned their
rightful profession for something else.
Many Of the thin cottons and silks
that are selling at reduced prices are
just the thing for little house dresses
and sacques. For morning wear in the
family many women have come to
wear a white or colored linen or cot
ton wash skirt with pretty sacque.
Such sacques come with belts that
give them a trim look and have col
lars or kimono fronts.
The sacque with fitted back and
kimono front and belt that may be
dipped we'll at the waistline is uni
versally becoming. Some very fine,
well finished batiste ones of this kind
sell for less than dollar, The fronts
and backs are tucked, there is a XII
mono band down the front and around
the neck, and the sleeves are of three
quarter length with tucked cuffs.

Dorothy is Saved.

Dorothy's cold was not much, but
yet Gervais could not help noticing
that something allied her for the week
following their return from London
with Enid. She seemed to have lost
the wonderful happiness that sur
rounded her when they two were
alone; still he did not wish Enid to
go. for he saw that Dorothy was eager
for her cousins presence. and there
fore he rejoiced in anything that gave
her pleasure.
One morning, having safely dis
posed OF Enid and Lord Derriman.
she walked to the village postoffice-
not the one nearest to the cottage
and received a dirty looking letter.
addressed to ID. r. Inside were a
few lines:
Swag came. Sail tomorrow for
Australia, per S. IS. Penelope. Child
too. Send money when due to the
same address. Good-by, Dolly.
She waited until she was safely out
OF the shop and alone In the country
lane, then her joy. her relief. the re-
action almost made her reel.
She was saved! What terrible.
an awful risk she had run! She dared
not even let herself think OF the es-
cape she had had.
Enid could not understand the
change that came over her, there was
something through all this she could
not fathom; but Gervais did not seek
TOR the reason, his darling was her
bright, merry self again, that was ali
he asked to see.
He sat gazing at her as luncheon
progressed. and Enid saw the tears
Of thankfulness that rose in his eyes,
and uneonsciously the dull. dead pain
that came so often struck her heart
once more.
Dorothy waited until the servants
had gone, then she startled both her
cousin and husband by suddenly say
ing:

Precious Stones Quick to Resent Neg
Iect-Fiow They Should Be
Treated for Good Results.

Women who own valuable jewelry
should take personal care Of it and in
telligent care at that. Leaving fine
gold and precious stones to rattle
around in dusty jewel box is giving
them not attention, but neglect.
Clean gold and silver by scrubbing
with solft soapsuds with a solft tooth
brush. After washing cover them with
sawdust to dry. Rubbing half lemon
on silver will keep it from blackening
and furnishing.
Diamonds must also be brushed
lightly with soapsuds and rinsed In
cologne water Keep the edges In the
diamond setting clean. scraping them
gently with clean toothpick, not
hard enough to loosen the stone.
To cleanse pearls never use water.
Water turns pearls black and spoils
all their beauty. Foolish as 1t may
sound. shutting them up with piece
of ashwood will keep them white with
out any further precaution. Pearls
are the most sensitive of all gems and
show easily the bodily and mental
health of the wearer. Moreover, they
lose their Mster and die If not worn
at all.
A but Of putty rubbed on chamois
skin will keep opals clean. These
most beautiful of all stones In spite
of their bad reputation. will shine
with undimmed radiance forever II
gently treated by this method.
To clean clear gems shred pure
soap in warm water until a lather Is
obtained and then add Is drops of sal
volatile. Dry and polish with soft
cloth.

fiercely beneath the calm exterior.

with a sneer. well, out of fifteen

The last words were uttered boldly,
and though she stood very still. this
demand almost paralyzed Dorothy.
How could she account for this money
to her husband or her trustees? Her
hands trembled; she had never

nor half as much.
