Another Movement Projected
Looking to a Hospital
For years it lias been felt by
many that McCook has needed a
hospital Time and again move
ments hae beven set on foot to
mat end only to fail Various
reasons may be recounted why
these efforts have come short of
realization but we shall not here
recite them
But the rather we shall report
the temporary organization of an
other effort to bring about that
great desideratum a hospital
Friday afternoon last a number
of ladies and gentlemen of thp
city about twenty or more met
in the McCook commercial club
rooms for the purpose of talking
over tliis matter and taking such
action as those in attendance thai
wise and desirable and practical
z Li jiay -was made chair
man of the gathering and tlie
subject was gone into at some
length Favorable remarks -were
made by all preqent as the need
seems to be generally felt both
inside ana outside of medical cir-
elcs Dr C L Fahnestoek spoke
to the subject as did Father Pat
Ion Rev Bayne Senator Cordeal
and others
After going over the matter at
some length it was deemed wise
to form a temporary organization
Mrs Z L Kay was made presi
dent Mrs A
M Williams secre
tary Mrs F L Schwab treas
urer
It was decided to meet again in
the commercial club rooms next
Thursday afternoon at 3 oclock
to complete if
possible the or
ganization which it is fondly hop
ed will result in tlie final secur
ing of a suitable modern hospit
al for -this city
