FALLS IN TORRENTS. SITES FOR HOSPITAL
Eighteen Locations Offered to
Board of Managers.

At the first regular meeting of the
officers and board of directors of the
Oskaloosa hospital, held in the court
house Friday night, the committee
on location reported that eighteen
different sites had been offered to
them. Some of the most favorable
ones were, the old Frankel homestead
on South Market street, the H. w.
Lyman home in Park Place, the S. j.
Dutton home, and the Hunt property
for which ] Howard Johnson is
agent on North A st. The commit
tee was given more time to consider
and Father O'Carroll was delegated
to make a more thorough examina-
ton of some of the properties. 1t is
also proposed to look up sites suit
able to build on and find out what a
new structure would cost. The of
fers on the properties mentioned
above range from 81 800 to $4,000.
The committee on organization re-
ported that they had heard from FIVE
hospitals located in Iowa. All are
Incorporated, and are almost self
supporting. One letter was read,
from Elizabeth Trotter, Superintend-
ent of the Ottumwa hospital. Among
other things she said:
"We opened five years ago with
seven beds and few weeks later
added five more. We now have II
beds, with two cots for emergency.
L would suggest that if possible you
own your building as the people will
be more interested in what they act
ually possess"
The interest in the hospital is
growing daily and the enterprise is
sure to materialize, however small
its beginning may be. Two hours
were profitably spent in discussion
by those in attendance. Another
meeting will be held next Friday
evening.

Hatred for Great Britain.

Worse for Great Britain than its de-
feats in South Africa is the om'nous
fact that the cabledl extracts from the
European press are almost solid ag inst
it. There Is only one sentence In its
favor, but 1t contains suggestion that
counts. A Vienna journal calmly OBJ
serves that the crippling of Great
Britain will not aid the advance OF
civilization.
This idea Is the whole case. 1t Is the
sober second thought Of mankind. In
every part Of the world Great Britain is
the foremost champion of modern civil
ization. The progress which the in
ferior races are making In the dense
continents is chiefly its work. Within
this century a movement which it led
abolished human slavery from the
Transvaal to South Carolina. Wherever
its nag floats the people are free, the
public school fourishes and commerce
grows. With all its faults, this much
10 true.
Yet. in spite of its record in behalf Of
civilization and in spite of its broad
policy which now gives every man an
equal chance and every colony right
to govern itself, in spite of the fact that
it has essentially adopted everything for
which Washington fought, Great Britain
is universally hated in Europe and Is
far from being loved In this country.
This hatred is partly the fault OF
British character, but it springs chiefly
from envy. The same bull-headed cour-
age which leads the British officer to
stand up, covered with his decorations,
to be shot BY q Boer behind rock, leads
the Britisher everywhere to offend the
susceptibilities Of others by his blunt
and outspoken, often brutal, sincerity.

The action of the Secretary of the
Treasury In ordering that the internal
revenue receipts of the government
shall be paid over to the National City
Bank Of New York City, to use or
distribute as it sees fit, is one of the
most outrageous acts that has ever been
done by an administration from the
foundation Of this government. That
bank is the most powerful financial
institution in this country. lis capital
stock is ten million dollars, aud its de-
posits average more than one hundred
millions. 1t is bank made up of rail-
way kings. For the favor granted, the
National City Bank will not pay one
cent to the government. and in return
will make enormous sums Of money, for
it is at liberty to put the money out at
interest. This was brought about
through the influence OF Hanna and his
syndicate of bond holders. Secretary
Gage had better read the past history of
tho United States. He will find that
there was q United States bank issue
that made and unmade presidents half
: century ago. :
