NQHTSUAlllOWntl LUZ d purely. musical
event was beautifully controverted
Thursday evening when one OF our
churches was almost filled, in spite of
very unfavorable weather, with music
lovers and critics come to enjoy pro-
gram largely technical in character.
Let the good work go on. A few more
successes of the brave ones who dare
take the responsibility of presenting
musical performance and Marshalltown

fine musical entertainments.

The establishment of city hospital
is subject that has often been dis
cussed by the charitable organizations
and the charitably inclined of the city,
but as yet nothing has ever been ac-
lcomplished. The need of some such in
stitution was never more apparent than
one day this week when a poor fellow
had his arm frightfuly crushed by a
train and because he was without
| friends or money, had to be removed to
| the county Jail and subsequently to the
poor farm. Such accidents are occur;
ring almost daily in a city the size of
MarshalltoWn and it is most unfortu-
nate that we are not prepared to meet
emergencies with some agent of mercy.
| In view of the almost lnsurmountable
difficulties in the way of establishing a
/ hospital and In view of the pressing
lneed of some action in the matter the
proposition made by DR.. H. L. Getz is
one worth considering. He is conduct
ling a hospital at the corner of Church
street and South Third avenue, well
4 equipped in every way. True, it is a
lprivate enterprise, but the doctor says
4 that he has room for all and If any
Icharitab BILE Organization wishes to extend
!, aid to some unfortunate they may do
so by paying only for the mere cost of
nursing and accommodation. and he or
any other physician desired will fur
4 nsh gratis the necessary medical at
4 tention. Looking at the subject from
la practical standpoint it is hard to see
la better way of extending such benefits
lof charity. 1t is certainly no more of
an expense to buy hospital accommodate
A tions of DIR. Getz than to buy the build
ing of another man and the supplies OF
tstill another. If the doctor profits by
Z reason of the advertising, it must be
: remembered that he is the first one to
loffer for sale the goods the city needs
There can be no question but that free
hospital accommodation for the city's
unfortunates can be secured at less ex-
lpense and no risk by making some ar
rangement with DIR. Getz than by I'M
