council at Battle Creek in regard to
some minor matters, he suggested
that they come to Denison. He told
them of the hospital here and how
hard it had been for the citizens to
keep the institution going and sug-

board and find out if the building
could be purchased. The doctors WIS.,

in company with Mr.. Brodersen and
Mr.. Sims went through the building
and were quite favorably impressed
with the hospital. AT Battle Creek
they told Mr.. Sims and Mr.. Brodersen
that they would be glad to receive d
proposition from the hospital com
pany with view OF purchasing it. Mr..
Sims stated that both OF the doctors
were succeeding excellently and that
they had twenty patients in their san

The doctors stated that they would

basis and gave some very logical reas-
ons for their stand. They pointed out
that hospitals as general rule were
not paying institutions and had to be
kept up by popular subscription. They
did not doubt that Messrs. Conn and
Hartley were good doctors and max
ing success of their sanitarium.
DR.. P. J. Brannon also addressed
the meeting and gave his views on
the proposition.
Mr.. George Naeve suggested that no
action be taken at this meeting mas
much as some of the heaviest stock

they should be given an opportunity
to present their views. He suggested
that action be deferred to meeting
at some future date and it was at this
point that Mr.. Carl F. Kuehnle made
the motion that committee of five
be appointed to investigate and report
at a meeting to be held next Tuesday
evening.
1t was evident that the selling of
the hospital for commercial purposes

Bonds to Be Sold.
The city council met on Monday
evening for the purpose of canvass
ing the vote and after it was found
that the election had carried it was
decided to go ahead and make ar
engagements for the selling of the
bonds. A notice to this effect appears
in another column of this issue. and
the bonds will be sold on Monday eve
ming, May oath, at the city hall.
Denison is now to settle the water
question for all time to come and the
city council will take steps to have
new wells dug, which will give an
ample supply of water. We under
stand that the council is in favor of
deep well and have already investi-
gated such" wells in nearby towns. 1t
is believed that well in the neighbor-
hood Of 1000 feet in depth will fur
nish an abundant supply of good pure
water.
The present shallow wells near the
light plant have been the source OF no
end of trouble for the council At
times there have been grave fears that
the wells would 80 dry and there was
not enough water to afford ample fire
protection. to say nothing of water
with which to sprinkle the streets
The water has always been of ques-
tionable character and only a few
months ago it was so badly contamin-
ated with sewage that chemicals had
to be used to warrant its use at all.

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had Seen Remarkable "Government
 Salting Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at Onset and during the course of the sunny afternoon took stroll on the beach. At one point they came upon an improvised breakwater, where some resident had filled bags with sand and piled them in breastworks fashion to prevent the sea from en- croaching upon his land during the stormy season.
 One of the young ladies was curious immediately. She would know what the bags were for.
 "Why, it's very simple" explained her companion with due gravity. The water in Onset bay originally was fresh, a peculiarity of nature which has puzzled scientists. It seemed too bad to deprive the place of seashore advantages so the government took the matter in hand, filled the bags with salt and thereby has imparted the proper flavor to Onset water"
 Far from rebuking him for being fresh" she is now telling her friends of having seen the government salt ing apparatus" down there.

 During dinner party some time ago, the congressman said, the topic turned to the connubial state. Among the guests was a bachelor person.

 "The happier he is," impulsively broke in spinster party with hope full glance at the other.

Then the policeman explained that negro had been murdered by another negro in that vicinity not many days ago and that the police had been watching for the offender.
 Ju-t why the police thought the ne gro who committed the murder would come back to the scene of his crime was not explained as far as is known. Indianapolis News
