AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Hospital Promoters Are Working on New
Plan to Get Building.
WILL ASK CITY TO GIVE $1,000 YEARLY
and other Corporations said
TO he Ready TO Subscribe as Much
More when Assured the
Annuity's Payment.

$3.50 fNA
made by a committee appointed for the
purpose. One Of the members Of the as
ISOLATION, who Is an earnest worker in hos
pital circles stated to a Bee reporter last
night that the only drawback to securing
a frst-class hospital for South Omaha was
the lack of funds. What is wanted is an
assurance from the city that a certain
sum will be paid the institution monthly.
With such an assurance 1t is asserted that
subscriptions will come in rapidly. At the
present time the city pays the hospital
association S25 a month. This is enough
to gay the rent OF the present quarters.
In addition to this the city has for a num-
Der of years past cancelled the taxes on the
property occupied by the hospital. Now 1t
is planned to ask the city council to make
a levy sufficient to bring into the treasury
not less than $1,000 a year for the main
tenance of the hospital. 1t is argued that
a levy is made for the support of High
land park, also a levy for the support Of a
public library. Therefore it is commended
that South Omaha can afford to add to the
present tax enough to assist in maintaining
a hospital.
IF the city will give $1,000 for the hos
pital," said a member OF. the association,
"the packers and other corporations can be
depended upon to subscribe as much more.
This will give a stated revenue Of $4,000 a
year. The balance of the money needed
doubtless can be raised by public subscrip-
ton"
A new location is greatly desired and
It is asserted that II suitable quarters are
obtained a great many cases now sent to
Omaha would remain here. Another meet
ing OF the association will be held some
evening this week when 1t is expected that
definite steps toward Incorporating the in
stitution will be taken.

Flynn Talks Clothing.
We claim, and results substantiate the
claim, that the II. s. G. NJ. clothing is the
best and most economical clothing a man
can purchase. The II. S. & NJ. coat when
properly fitted to a man Is the equal Of any
coat that can be produced. 1t will hold its
shape as long as 1t is fit to wear.
At Flynn's you can find an elegant line
of these goods, suits and overcoats. The
latest shapes and shades at prices that are
easier than those asked in many places for
inferior goods.
