The hospital is becoming widely known in tljc' country, and is enjoying an increasing patronage. The number of patients accommodated is growing continually, and number of patients under treatment there is larger than that of any prev ions ite The popularity of the hospital is largely due to the efficiency of the Sisters of St. Francis, who have it in enlarge Under their care the pa- tjents have the best of nursing, and the whole building is kept spotlessly clean and in perfect order.

A SIGN OF PROSPERITY Railroad and hackmcn say that more people are traveling on ac- count of Thanksgiving this year than for a JonK time. The sta- tions were filled with passengers all yesterday, and all of the trains were crowded. An un- usually large number of worren and children were in the crowds. Students want by dozens. Standing in the of an mikept ard which is a fool or more below ic level of the street and plentifully tiered with stones, al! manner of ibbish, aild divers kinds of builder's lid mover's tools, and covered with tangled profusion dead weeds and traggliug grass, is one of the most and interesting, as -well as'pc- uliar 'and eccentric houses that one ill find on the lownsile.

It is supposed that the inhabit ants of the house will either the pleasure of bathing altogcthe during the winter months, or resort the old fashioned "teacup popular before' the introduction modern methods in building. The house is new, having been bui! during the past two years, and yet i is than most of Ihe othc residences in town. The greater par of the material used in its construe lion was secured from the material old Lyon county courthous built. Ashes were used in yilae of sand in the mortar which holds it masonry together, and was-built al most entirely by one owner Samuel Thomas, a contractor an stone mason, who lives at 816 Wes street, next door to the new house which is located on the corner Ninth avenue and West street.
