DIR. VIM. Lowe
APPOINTED TO THE POSITION OF
POSTMASTER OF MADISON.

Yesterday afternoon President
Wilson sent to the Senate for con-
1rmation the appointment of DR..
VIM. Lowe to be postmaster of Mad
ison. The news first reached the
city through an enterprising Wash
ington bonding company telegraph
ing for the purpose of supplying the
necessary bond for the incoming of
fetal, no doubt sending the tele-
gram the moment it became known
that Or. loves name had been sent
TO the Senate. Outside newspapers
received in the city today confirm the
report in their Washington telegraph
ic dispatches, although DR.. Lowe has
not been personally advised of his
appointment. The matter of CON
course and DR.. Lowe will assume his
office duties at no distant day.
The contest for the position has
been in progress in the democratic
ranks for the past several months.
and while at no time has the fight
become at all sensational some good
hard work has been done by the OPP
posing candidate. Discussing the
contest today DR.. Lowe stated that
he has at all times tried to conduct
his campaign fairly and had it not
been for the loyal assistance he has
received from local democrats he
would have failed of success, and he
expressed his war; appreciation of
the assistance given him by his local
associates. At no time, DR.. Lowe
says. has he failed to take his asso-
ciates into his confidence at every
stage of the proceedings, in many in
stances when he had not been assur-
ed of their support. but the outcome
is evidence hal this was the proper
course to pursue. DR.. Lowe says he
has no ~ill-feeling against anybody in
the contest, democrat or otherwise,
and with confirmation he will enter
upon the duties of his office, ready
to faithfully serve to the best of his
ability the people of Madison and
Lake county with whom he has made
his home for such a long term of
years.

CRAZY MAN
At Mitchell Found After Two DAYS
In Cupola.

Mitchell, July 10.-Perched in a
cupola of an elevator in a deserted
brick yard here, where he had APP
parently been for the last two days
without food or water, a stranger
was taken in custody by the police.
The presence of the man, who APP
pears to be a lunatic, was discovered
after nearby residents had complain
ed of shouts and screams coming
from the place.
The man, who gave his name as j.
Elliott Wood, had a very ~disheveled
appearance, but gave every indica-
ton of an extensive education. He
was dislodged from his lofty perch
only after he had been coaxed down
by promises Of food The only en-
trance TO the cupola was through a
narrow door reached by a ladder,
which he had threatened to kick
down if the officer approached.

PLAN FOR HOSPITAL
OFFICIALS WOULD SUPPLY A
NEED FOR THE chill
DREN'S HOME.

Sioux Falls, July 10.-Face to
face with the necessity for a modern
and permanent detention hospital for
the treatment of contagious diseases
Of the children in the state Children's
home located here, the board of di-
rectors of the state society at a con-
ference this afternoon gave further
consideration to the plan for a new
building which it is claimed should
be erected on the grounds of the
home this year. The makeshift build
ing now in use as a detention hos
pital is inadequate for the purpose
and its frame construction makes il
unavailable for winter use at all.
I'm any case, if the building prof.
ect is to 60 through, as it undoubted-
~ should do, because of present lack
Of real hospital accommodations, we
shall have to depend upon the gener-
osity of the friends OF the home
throughout the state" said George
Schlosser, president of the board of
directors. "As a charitable institu-
ton not under the direction Of the
state we must depend upon the benev-
olence of the people all W the state
who are interested in its welfare.
There is little doubt but that they
will respond. A sounding of senti-
ment with regard to the building in
dicates that Sioux Falls will do a big
share toward carrying out the prof.
ect."
Joseph ID. Livermore, a local arch
itect, has offered to furnish complete
plans for the hospital building with
out any charge to the C%hildren's
Home society. The building as con-
templated will be of one-story con-
| struction, connected by an under
ground tunnel with the main build
ing of the home. There will be four
wards in the detention hospital, two
| for boy and two for girl patients.
Each ward will be large enough to
accommodate four or FIVE beds. The
estimated cost of the building would
be between $4,000 and $4,000, If it
were to be handled on a plan other
than from the personal subscription
or gifts of individuals and cities of
the state.
