New Hospital Building.
Doctors Redfleld and McKirahan, of
tho Physician and Surgeons' hospital,
have closed n contract with R. N.
, Lamb whereby the Intter will erect n
I brick building on the corner of Eight
nnd Locust streets for hospital put poses.
This building, the interior of which has
been planned for hospital purposca by
tho two Doctors, will bo fifty-six by
one hundred nnd twenty-two foot, the
front facing on LocuBtsstreet. Tho
east sixty feet of tho building will be
three stories, and the other part two
stories. The ground floor on Locust
will have two store rooms sixty feet
deep. Other than these two rooms the
entire building will be used for hospital
purposes, tho rear ground floor for
offices, the second floor for operating
rooms, while tho second and third
floors of the east sixty feet will bo
used as rooms for patients. Work on
tho building will begin at the earliest
possible time.
Abandons Deep Well.
After reaching a depth of 205 feet,
the Union-Pacific has abandoned the
deep well it was sinking at this
terminal. Water was encountered nt
tho usual depth, but the quality was
not such as tho company desired, nnd
borincr was continued to a depth of
of about 100 feet when rock was struck.
Drilling continued tnrougn this rocK
and then quicksand encountered. Sixty
five feet of this quicksand was gone
through, and as there was no npparent
bottom to this sand, the work was
abandoned. Water was, of course,
found in the quicksand, but tho sand
prevents the pumping of tho water, as
it gathers and packs around the points.
That work has been abandoned on
this well is disappointing to the city,
as the result obtained by tho Union
Pacific would have had a bearing on the
depth of the wells to bo drilled for tho
now water plant.
Old Landmark Gutted by Fire.
Tho McDonald frame building on west
Front street, one of tho old landmarks
of tho city, was badly gutted by a fire
which occurred about four o'clock yes
terday morning. The fire originated
in the center room of the building,
which was occupied by tho Hartman
cigar factory, tho exact origin of which
is not known. The flames burned
rapidly and by the time of. tho arrival
of the hose companies the interior of
that room as well as tho adjoining
room occupied by the Denver restau
rant, wan a mass of ilatnes, and before
the fire was extinguished that part of
tho building was damaged beyond re
pair, the roof of the dwelling on thd
west occupied by the family of tho
restaurant owner and a part Jof
the roof on the main part of the build-
jng on the east was burned. The stock
and tools of the cignr factory were
totally destroyed, and much of tho
restuurant furnishings were burned.
Vanscoy, who has n second hand store
in the main building suffered a consider
able loss on stock by fire and water.
Vanscoy carries a light insurance on tho
stock.
The firemen handled the fire well,
in fact with the gale blowing at the
tinfe, thoy did remarkable work in
keeping the flames so nearly confined
to the two smaller rooms.
Acreage Lots.
The last of the acreage lots south of
the B. & M. Railroad right of way
have been sold. All of the city blocks
east of the Trustee's Addition have
been sold, except 26. At the close of
the litigation two years ago, when
Roy'B. Tabor, Trustee, regained all of
this estate, it consisted of 930 acres.

the city limits and 25 acreage tracts
south of the B. & M. All of these lands
have been sold except about 65 acres
and the unsold lots of Trustee's and
Riverdale Additions. There are but
26 acreage tracts altogether upon the
market to be sold at the present time
and several arc being sold nearly every
week. Price $350 per block; 5 per
cent discount for cash or $35 down

" Tis a Feat to Fit the Feet."
ANNOUNCE M EN
H. G. Fleishman, formerly with the Drexel Shoe Co., Omaha, and
late of Cheyenne, has purchased an interest in the Yellow Front
Shoe Store and invites his former customers, and all those who
find it difficult to be fitted, to see Fleishman first. Everyone
knows that the most essential in Shoes is their fit, and Fleishman
knows how to fit feet. In fact he does not know much of any-
1?3w.ww. ,., tinner hut fittinc feet. A trinl will convince von. At iam
future time we will talk of quality, but that is unnecessary, because '"t
Fleishman has been in the shoe business 17 years and don't know
how to buy poor shoes, and he does know how to fit them. . .
