A City Hospital.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, Mar. 81, 1890.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, Mar. q, 1890.
To the FREE TRADER:
Ottawa Is justly proud Of the pro-
gresS she has made In the last Few
years. and there Is nothing to prevent
her from becoming city OF l., 900, and
in short time.
We certainly have well-eQuipped
county asylum, one of the best insti-
buttons of its kind in the state, but
there are many instances where cases
are taken into the county house which
do not properly belong there and
ought not to be taken there but are: for
what reason? Simply because we
have no alternative. If stranger or
some unfortunate Is taken sick or in
jured, he has no choice in the matter,
our proud city of Ottawa offers him
nothing but what she gives to her
poorest and meanest pauper. One or
the crying needs of this city is an in
stitution, call it IL you will city hos
pital. There is hardly town Of our
size in the state which does not boast
of one or more.
/ think there is no physician or pri-
vate citizen Of the city of Ottawa, who
If asked his opinion on the matter
would not be in favor Of and give his
aid or services to such an institution
Every church should and ought to be
willing to aid and help to sustain such
a worthy cause. l merely want to
bring this before the citizens of OF
tawa, and if such movement be in
stituted, | trust that they will give us
their hearty support and assistance.
In the capacity of county physicians,
DR.. Hathaway and myself, perhaps,
have more of an opportunity of seeing
our needs in this direction than Others
may have. Many times necessity has
compelled us to send injured or sick
to the county house in lieu of some
thing better We hope to hear from
Others in regard to this. Let us get
into line with our sister cities and
have a city hospital.
e. III. BUTTERFIELD, Nj. ID.
In line with DR.. Butterfield'S letter,
the FREE TRADER would suggest that,
as a starter, the methods adopted in
many other cities might tit the case
in Ottawa. a large, airy Louise is
secured, and it's rental guaranteed by
certain number of citizens, each of
whom pledges dollar of less per
month. Coal and light are provided:ln
like manner. Then, each church in
the city is asked to pledge a certain
amount per month to furnish sutfi-
Gent income for the payment of
nurses, and the purchase of medicines.
Medical attendance is donated by the
physicians of the city, each of whom
agrees to act as hospital physician in
turn. BY this method Ottawa could
readily secure a temporary hospital
and the nucleus of regular city in
stitution could be created at a small
eXDpnSe,

Streator is making an effort to raise
money to bore for natural gas. They
have coal there, and few miles of
a very thin flow Of oil was coaxed up
from depth of 800 feet some twenty
years ago, to say nothing OF an abund-
ant flow of water the nasty taste Of
which indicated not only the presence
somewhere down that hole of oil, but
also of salt, sulphur and some pretty
loud smelling gas. Indeed the flow Of
the last seems never to have entirely
stopped, for simply to read the Strea-
tor newspapers is enough to satisfy
any one that the air thereabouts is full
Of it. Let the boring go on, by all
means.
