production The company plays here Friday Feb 9 McConnell fills prescriptions xS 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
