The Co Operative Hospital
MeCook needs a public hospital
This is an evident fact to every
one interested in the progress
and upbuilding of our cit3r
About two years ago several of
the influential and energetic peo
ple of the city began to devise
plans by wliicli they might inter
est the public in the establishing
and equipping of a modern hos
pital Continued hard times and
so many other public improve
ments requiring donations and
subscriptions in order to insure
their completion being urged up
on the people they concluded it
would be a hardsliip to the citi
zens of McOook to ask them to
contribute funds for the purpose
of building and equipping a hos
pital at that time and the mat
ter was allowed to rest
After the terrible wreck at In-
dianola many of tlliese same peo
ple keenly felt the remorse we
could not avoid on account of
not having a place to care for a
single one of the injured persons
When the wreck occurred notice
was immediately wired to head
quarters a relief train wiitih doc
tors and nurses was hurried f roin
MeCook and after they had fin
ished their work they were com
pelled to send even our own cit
izens who were injured to Cam
bridge nolbrook and noldrege
because MeCook the division
headquarters and largest city in
southwest Nebraska had no place
to care for a single one of them
Tliis would have beeh the case if
the wreck had occurred within
the MeCook yards
Smarting under the remorse of
our inability to do anything for
the relief of the injured and
feeling a desire to do something
to prevent another occurrence of
tliat kind a number of our enter
prising ladies iliave determined to
maske an attempt to start a nuc
leus around which they hope m
time to build a modem hospital
which will be a credit to
Wiitih this end in view they are
asking the good people of Me
Cook to assist them in their no
ble work
The amount they ask is not
much five hundred dollars sub
scribed wall enable them to se
cure and equip a small building
which will be sufficient to start
Avith while many of the individ
ual citizens fraternal societies
and churches of our city have ex
pressed a willingness to furnish
free all the rooms that will be re
quired for at least a year
In order to secure a mainten
ance fund they have arranged
for and prepared a membership
card which they offer for one
dollar per month for twelve
months or ten dollars if paid
m advance This will entitle you
and your wife if married or
yourself if not married to twelve
weeks privileges in the hospital
in case of accident or sickness
without further hospital charges
This is simply insurance against
the high cost of being properly
cared for in case of misfortune
Also by taking advantage of this
in your own behalf you are help
ing some one else who perhaps
is not so fortunate as yourself
The soliciting committee liave
made a partial canvas and have
received generous encouragement
finding a large majority of the
of the business men of the city
interested in the work
The secretary is unable to pub
lish a full list of the subscribers
on account of all of them not hav
ing been turned- in but hopes to
be able to do so next week
