FOIt A HOSPITAL
There are many needs in every
widi awake community like Mc
Cook but perhaps there is no
one more real and rational than
the evident need of a hospital As
a railroad community alone there
is suifii i ni argument but when
you consider McCook s relation
to the entire southwestern part o
the stale of Nebraska the neces
sity becomes more actual At
present there isnt a hospital in
the Republican valley of any di
mensiens In fact there isnt
more than one cf any large con
sequence in the entire southern
part of the state between the
wis line of -the slate and Lin
coln
Ther e is now on foot in this
city backed by the women of the
city as well as by the physicians
clrgy and others a movement
looking to the final securing of
an adequate and suitable and
thoroughly modem hospital here
Tlu Tribune will be pleased to
adel its efforts to those above en
umerated in the endeavor to
bring about this project The hu
manitarian appeal of the hospit
al is strong and compelling Mc
Cook should put her best efforts
lorth to secure one

Some people seem to enjoy the
emotion of being newspaper pub
lishers and reportersfoir the very
joy of the opportunity of project
ing their proboscides in the busi
ness and affairs of others

DRUGGIST
TO ALLAY EYE IRRITATION
Simple Wash Made From Saturated
Solution of Boraclc Acid Is
Very Soothfng
When one is forced to work under
a light that is placed too high for
eye comfort and cannot be readily ad
justed it is far better to use an opaque
green shade over the eyes than to al
low the sight to become permanently
injured
A good quality of these can be pur
chased at your stationers for the
modest sum of a quarter and the re
lief you will find in them will be
more than worth the small expense
Should the eyes become irritated
Tiear the eyelash use a wash of luke
warm sterilized water having diluted
therein as much boraic acid as the
water will take up
One can prepare a pint bottle of
this and have it ready for use at any
time The only thing necessary would
be to place the bottle in a cup of
warm water so as to make it luke
warm before using
Should a white sediment form at
the bottom is by no means spoiled
as this is only a very small extra
quantity of the boracic asid which
has been absorbed by the water andi
is in no way harmful
More than a certain quantity say ai
heaped teaspoonful to a pint of
ter will not be absorbed so there isj
no fear of making the water too softJ
as only a certain degree can bej
achieved in this direction
Use of this when the lids become
irritated applying with a well cleaned
eyecup will save you from many aj
painful and patience trying stye an
abscess of the eyelid that is most
discomforting and which make theirl
appearance at the most inopportune
times i
HE CURED THE HAY FEVER
Cleveland Mans Attempt Rather
Strenuous Affair But it
Worked
An east end man with a bad case
of hay fever heard that a sojourn in
a beer cellar or a packing house re j
frigeratcr would relieve the distress j
ins malady He had no entree to beerj
cellars and all the packing houses
were too far away
So he went into the pantry and
after removing the eatables from thej
upper portion of the icebox put his
head into close conjunction with a 50
pound lump of ice In this manner
he hoped to freeze out the annoying
germs
It was a skv process and not alto i
gether comfortable but everything
including the germs appeared to be
going all right when the convalescent
happened to pu3h the box too clone
to the wall and the 40 pound cover
suddenly dropped on his defenseless
head like a vicious piledriver
For a moment the dazzled victim be
lieved that his throat was cut and his1
skull smashed by the same blow But
he managed presently to extricate -himself
and bellow for help
Two days later the only reminder
of his cruel experience was a lump
on tho back of his head as big as a
green tomato
And every vestige of hay fever had
left him Cleveland Plain Dealer
In a Japanese Temple
Asakuse Temple is dedicated to
the goddess Kwannon a tiny image
of gold about two and a half inches
bigh writes a traveler in Japan At
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures
guarding the sacred precincts Hang
ing outside the wire grating are a
number of sandals for their use If
they wish to take a walk and rice is
sprinkled about Each worshiper be
fore entering the temple calls at a
small building and after contributing
a small amount washes his hands and
rinses his mouth
In front of the main shrine is a
large aperture in the floor covered
with lattice work into which the wor
shiper casts his gift After clapping
his hands to awaken or attract the
attention of the god he kneels but his
prayer is only brief While there is
one chief shrine there are many oth
ers under the same roof
One shrine especially attracted my
attention it was made of wood and
quite disfigured and worn through
the constant rubbing of hands on the
spot corresponding to the afflicted por
tions of the sufferers bodies
Best He Could Do
When Ralph Delmore who was as j
sisting in staging The Confession j
was giving instructions one day to
the actors as to what they should 1
wear during the snow storm in thoi
Grst act he said I want every one
to wear their heaviest overcoats dur J
ing this scene as it is supposed to be
the coldest night in twenty years Now
dont forget this Mr Delmore re-
peated this order several times to im j
press it on the minds of the actors
when one of them undoubtedly new to
tho stage and who had no lines at alljj
to speak approached him I have no
overcoat Mr Delmore but suppose Ij
wear my heavy flannel underwear j

WALL STREET IS INTERESTED
Fancy Job of Trucking That Takes
the Minds of Financiers
Off Money
Finance 13 what engages it mostly
but Wall street can spare a moment
for other things that are interesting
as it is doing occasionally just now to
look on at some exhibitions of fancy
trucking
The structural steel for the new
building going up on Wall and Nassau
streets is landed from lighters at a
South street wharf at the foot of Wall
street so it is only a short haul from
the wharf to the new building though
its a lively one
Some of the supporting columns on
pillars going into this building weigh
from 25 tons to 30 tons each but
they are handled easily They back
one of those long and ponderous
trucks with low broad rimmed heavy
solid iron wheels down on the wharf
alongside the lighter and then the
lighters steam derrick lifts off its
deck one of these 30 ton pillars and
lays it gently on the truck doing this
quickly and easily
To haul this load they have hooked
to the team seven pairs of big horses
a team of 14 horses all used to the
business and all pulling ably
All ready the driver mounts to a
seat on the forward end of the big
pillar on the truck which puts him
high in the air and gathers up his
lines There are three other men scat
tered along tho team as leaders and
guides for the horses and then with
out flummery or ceremony they get
away starting the great load easily
Theres a broad easy sweep from
the wharf into the broad lower end of
Wall street and the outfit makes this
describing a great arc and then it
straightens out for the run up Wall
street Its an up grade all the way
from South street to Broadway but
the team takes it -easily on a steady
trot
Its as good if not better than a
circus and primarily interested
though it is to finance Wall street
finds time to look when one of these
great outfits sweeps by New York
