bault county: Rev. Father Hughes,
Mankato.
DIR. Robinson Bosworth of st. Paul
estimated that according to the death
rate from tuberculosis i'm the eight
counties il would be necessary to
have a hospital equipped with from
115 TO ia beds, the cost averaging
$3.50 per patient each day. The
cost of building a hospital having
from 80 to 100 beds he estimated
at about s132,JOO.
Rev. Father Hughes expressed
himself as heartily I'm favor of the
proposed hospital. and urged that
II be located in Mankato, as this
was a railroad center convenient
for all. He suggested the thirty-six
acre tract of land two miles from
the city. formely used as an orphan
asylum, as a site for such sanator-
ium. and said that many acres of
land adjoining this property could
be purchased at reasonable figure
The thirty-six acre tact left by the
late superintendent of the former
orphan asylum: who owned the place,
could be bought from the estate at
a bargain, he stated.
Chairman o. X. Olson of the Blue
Earth county board said that the
offer could not be taken up at this
time.
The meeting was continued with
general discussions.
A resolution was prepared for
presentation to the committees rep
resenting the several counties, fav.
oring the construction of sanator-
ium.

Forum Sleigh Ride.
The Young Peoples Forum, the
organized Sunday school class of the
Methodist church. held a most de.
lightful party last night in the form
of q progressive sleigh ride and from
every point of vietw proved a decided
success. Over sixty young folks met
at the church at 1880 where each
was provided with a horn and the
first stop was made at the home
of the president of the class where a
large quantity of peanuts were de.
voured. The second place was Ger.
trude Deets where everyone was
made sweet sixteen again.
TIL last stop was ut the home of
the Misses Marjorie and Norma Cone
where a fruit basket was upturned.
and the merry makers finally were
uDloaded at the church and finished
their evenings outing with coffee and
sinkers. .'. - &c.,.
Glass songs and yells proved to be-
very popular with the young folks
and they were quite in evidence last
night on the main streets. Despite
the somewhat chilly weather the
cold was not felt at all. the two
carry-alls being laden TO their ca
pacity which adde dto the fun and
had II been warmer a much larger
crowd OF young folks would have
joined the sleigh riders. This is the
annual sleigh ride and the class is
planning for a-coasting party for
their next outing. There were about
as many boys as girls and the Forum
kept up its reputation for enthusiasm
fun-making, noise. ana good eats. The
young folks rode about town until
1880 as the moonlight evening was
ideal for seligh ride.
All young folks in the city who
have Methodist preference or, none
