PROPOSED HOSPITAL


Trustees, Who They Shall Be
Sec. ) provides in case of a majority
Of the voters of the electors of the
county are in favor of such a hospital
he board of county commissioners
hall appoint five trustees chosen
from the citizens at large with refer
ence to their fitness for such office.
At the next general election they are
to be elected in the same name as
other public officers. This guaran-
tees to the people the power to re-
move any or all the trustees should
he occasion OF such removal occur.
Note that not more than three trus-
tees can be from the town in which
he hospital is located and there is
nothing to prevent all the trustees
being appointed outside the town
which contains the hospital. Two of
the trustees may be women-pre-
sumably because they would be in
tered in the housekeeping part of the
management, a most important part
in any hospital. No practicing physi-
elan car be on the board of trustees.
Sec. A provides that the county
treasurer shall be treasurer of the
board of trustees and that he shall
receive and pay out all moneys I'M
der control of such board. The board
of hospital trustees must during the
first week in January of each year
file with the board of county com
missioners a report of their proceed
ings with reference to such hospital
and a statement of all receipts and
expenditures.
Sec. 10 provides that the board of
county commissioners may appropri-
ate not TO exceed 5 per cent of its
general fund for the improvement
and maintenance of the hospital.
This would not be a very large sum,
and since all moneys collected in the
county is controlled by the board of
county commissioners. there is no
reason to think they cannot be de-
pended upon to act wisely in the in
terests of all the people in making or
refusing to make this appropriation.
1t is optional with the board of COM
missioners and not with the hospital
trustees.
This hospital will be for the ben
eft of the inhabitants of the county
in which ii is located and of any per-
son falling sick or being injured
within it's limits, but every such per-
son who is not a pauper shall pay a
reasonable price for his care. Bear in
mind the fact there is no one any
where who is receiving his care for
nothing now. That is to say the
county, township, town. church,
lodge or charitable. persons pay the
bill. The hospital will create no new
expense. 1t will provide a new way
for a county of meeting an v e pres
ent need-a need as likely to be felt
in the time of emergency by the rich
man as by the poor man.
Sec. IA provides that the patient
shall have the absolute right to en-
ploy at his or her own expense his or
her own physician and that all legal
practitioners of any school of medi-
cine recognized by the laws OF South

BUSINESS
Sioux Falls Bankers Predict Return
10 Normal Conditions Within
Ninety Days.

Sioux Falls, Jan. while the
European wal has had its effects all
over the United States. business con
ditions are improving. particularly in
this section of the country and IL is
expected that within two or three
months they will have regained their
normal stage. This seems TO be the
opinion of banking men who look OPP
timistically 10 the new year. The ag-
ricultural districts OF the northwest
have been only temporarily embar-
raised and are now regaining their
normal standing.
The financial situation is described
as greatly improved by F. II. John
son, president of the Scandinavian
American National bank, who pre-
diets that within ninety days the
money matters will have reached a
normal stage.
That the country is rapidly recup-
Grating from the financial effect the
war has had and that the large

claiming the testator was a resident
OF Hawarden. Ia. They also charged
irregularity in the execution of the
will. The deceased was best known
at Hawarden, where he lived the
greater part Of his life, but he sold
his home there and came 10 Sioux
Falls in 1911.
The contest of the will has been
very vigorously pursued, each side
having been represented by a large
array of attorneys at the various
hearings held in the case.
Whether or not the contestants OF
the will will take an appeal from the
decisions Of Judge Medin has not
been announced.

WILL r RULING
Interesting Decision Is Made i'm the
Rankin Case.

Sioux Falls, Jan. A decision
just rendered by Judge Medin of the
probate court in Sioux Falls, in which
he upholds the validity of the will
of the late Jason Lee Rankin and
overrules the objections raised by
brothers and sisters of the deceased
to the probate of the will, determines
one stage Of one of the most inter-
esting will contests which has ever
been before the South Dakota courts.
The contest has attracted a great
deal of attention on account OF the
prominence of the deceased and on
account of the large amount of prop
erty involved, the estate being worth
considerably more than 100000.
Jason Lee Rankin died at San Diego,
Cal, in May, 1913. He left consid-
cradle property, consisting of govern
| ment bonds and other personal eff
| fects in the state of South Dakota.
! His will leaving all his property to
his wife, Lillian Rankin. was found
in his safety deposit box in Sioux
| Falls, and was probated in June.
1913. by the probate court of Mime
haha county. He left no real estate
in South Dakota, but owned large
tracts of land in Mississippi and in
, Virginia.
1 On June 16, 1914, after the will
had been allowed by the Minnehaha
county court, the brothers and Sis
tiers of the deceased instituted con-
test proceedings, claiming that the
testator was incompetent at the time
of making the will. They also al
legged undue influence on the part of
his wife, and further alleged that the

STORE ROBBERS
Two Farmers Arrested for Burglary
at Wagner.

Wagner, Jan. 4.-Dave and Henry
Bucholz were bound over to the cir
cult court under bonds of $1,000
each by Justice Schneider, for alleged
burglary of the Wilson and Hansen
store.
Hanson first discovered that bur
glars had been busy on Monday even
ing when he went to the store on
Tuesday morning. The panel of the
store door was partly cut, and then
the glass near the Yale lock was cut
and the door unlocked through the
opening. Hansen then found the
iewelry case had been broken open
ana several rings extracted, n be-
ing a diamond ring. Mesh bags.
candy and various kinds of small
iewelry were missing. The cash reg
itser had not been molested.
The robbery seemed part of a Sc
ries of small petty thieving that has
been a source of annoyance to store
keepers for some time.
Constable Huxley. accompanied by
several business men. went to the
farm residence OF Dave Bucholz and
after a fruitless search in the house,
the party went to the barn and found
the loot, which had been stolen from
Stedronsky's and Knights hardware
stores throughout the winer. There
were articles from Chas. Ehrisman's
and from Wilson and Hansen's stores.
Dave and Henry Bucholz were
placed under arrest. Henry was
taken to the constable's home and
succeeded in making his escape in
the night, but was captured next day.
They were given a preliminary hear
ing and Judge Schneider bound them
over to the circuit court in bonds of
81, 900 each.

Mistakes in putting up doctors prescriptions may
result in death. How do such serious mistakes occur?
They may occur through the hurried carelessness Of
the pharmacist or clerk who fills the prescription.
They may occur because he misreads the Latin terms
of the prescription. Often doctors write hurriedly un-
der stress or their writing is naturally hard to read. but
we are very particular. We check everything.
