Furnishings Make It One of the
Finest of Hospitals and Places
TO Care for the Sick.
From Thursday's Daily
The beautiful great stone building
that has been erected as the first
unit of the new addition to the Ne-
urasKa .Masonic norae m una inj,
lias, been completed as far as the
building itself is concerned, and the
work of furnishing the structure is
now being looked after by the com
mittee of the association and the
generous and deeply interested local
branches of Masonry over the state.
The building as it now stands is
a forty bed hospital and was erected
at a cost of $125,000, a splendid
piece of work and one that the order
in Nebraska can feel a just pride in
possessing. The building is as near
fire proof as it is possible to make it,
concrete and steel being used where
ever possible and only window frames
and doors are of wood.
The elevators and the shafts are
protected by steel cars and steel doors
that close off the elevator shaft and
every precaution for the protection
of the building has been looked af
ter. The first floor of the building is
now practically completed in the
furnishings with the exception of the
living room on this floor, which will
be furnished by the grand chapter of
the O. E. S. of -Nebraska, at a cost
of some $2,000.
There is one room on this floor
that is the personal donation of Mrs.
Lewis M. Keen, of Fremont, whose
husband at his death last winter left
a bequest of $5,000 to the home, and
Mrs. Keen has added to this with
the furnishing of a room at the cost
of $200 and the endowment of the
room.
The rooms are all finished In the
pleasant shades of brown and white,
the walls being of white with light
brown linoleum flooring, rugs in
tones of brown and green. The fur
niture in all of the private rooms is
of the Simmons steel type; strong and
light and the very last word In hes
"plTjfT" furnishings. To make theti as
comfortable and sanitary as possible,
the beds are adjustable as to height,
have special attachments to the
springs that permit the patient to
have their heads raised or lowered
as they wish.
In each room there is a large steel
dresser with mirror, a steel ward
robe, ample for the clothing of the
patient, a writing table and straight
back chair, as well as a large cozy
ro ker that is most inviting. In ad
dition to the wall and ceiling lamp
there is also a stand lamp that Is
suitably shaded in keeping with the
color tones of the room and which
is also adjustable to either the table,
or an be plated on the bed of the
patient. A portable table that can
be adjusted as desired is provided so
that the ratient, if bedfast, can be
fed in comfort and also use the table
for rending or any other purpose that
thy may desire. Screens are pro
vided for use in the rooms when
needed.
These rooms are all uniform, all
being single rooms with the excep
tion of two on each floor, which are
double rooms and arranged in the
same color tones and furnishings as
the single rooms.
All of the Masonic bodies of this,
citv are contributing some part to
the furnishing of the infirmary and
Plittsmouth lodge No. 6 has arrang-
ed ann paid tor one oi tne rooms ,
that will care for the patients at the
infirmary.
The office of the physicians of the
infirmary is located on the second
floor and this is unfurnished as yet,
but the fittings for the office are to
be provided by Nebraska chapter No.
3, It. A. M., of this city.
The bed rooms of the home cost

EAGLES BAND OF
FERS REAL CON
CERT PROGRAM
Popular Numbers of Today and Yes
terday Prove Real Hit With
Large Crowd Out
From Friday's Daily
Last evening the Eagles band gave
another of their enjoyable concerts
on Main street, the stand being lo
cated between Fourth and Fifth
streets and was attended by a very
large number of the residents of the
city who were delighted with the ex
cellent program arranged by Direc
tor Ed Schulhof and the members of
the band.
The program was largely a popu
lar one, the favorites of today and of
the recent years being given most
artistically by the members of the
musical organization.
"The Fountain Dance." "The Gold
en Wrand" overture and "The Mill in
the Forest" were among the high
class standard numbers offered,
while the selections in a lighter vein
included "Old Timers WTaltz." the
songs of the period from 1890 to
1S00, that brought to many of the
older members of the audience the
recollection of their more youthful
days. In the hits of today, Anton
B3jeck gave two very pleasing xylo
phone numbers, "Yearning" and
"Let Me Call You Sweetheart," both
of which received very strenuous ap
plause and an encore from the solo
ist and the band. "The Royal Vaga
bond," with its tuneful melodies as
well as the "Cocoanut Dance," added
to the pleasantness of the program
and the concert was closed with the
snappy strains of "The National Em
blem." one of the most spirited of
marches.
The concerts this year have prov
en very popular and large numbers
of the residents of the city as well as
visitors from outside have been here
to enioy the excellent offerings of
tle Eagles band which make the
summer entertainment program more
than usually delightful.
