evening in the court house on the hos

one and was we'll attended. The com
mittce appointed at the previous meet
ing turned in a report which was
adoDtcd practically as submitted. The
prospects for a good hospital for this
city aye brighter now than ever before
and from appearances it is safe to
say that we will have one before next
fall. It is the plan now to incorpor-
ate for 100000 and to build at least
a 100000 to start with. Then as need
ed additions could be added the plans
being made for this in advance

Eidsness and John Murphy. The COM
mittee was empowered to appoint 9TH
