Monument

1t Was Thus Presented, However, on
the Grounds That it Be Strictly Nom

Regardless. of Race, Color, Religion,
or Financial Condition.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, March 2s.-Mercy Hos
pital which has just been completed
in this city is the property of the
Northwest Iowa Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The beau
tiful structure was built by Jacob M.
Funk. noted philanthropist of the
city, at cost OF $4,000. He has pre-
scented it to the Methodists only upon
the grounds that it remain strictly nom
sectarian and that patients be admitted
regardless Of race, color, religion or
financial condition.
Rev. Il. S. Johnson pastor of the First
NJ. E. church of this city has been
elected superintendent of the hospital.
MIR. Johnson at one time studied and
fully prepared himself for the medical
profession. The building altho finished
has not yet been opened to the pubic
owing to the fact that the inside nix
lures have not all been placed. 1t Will
probably be formally opened about the
18th of April. Owing to the great de-
mand upon the part of patients VINO
now desire to enter the hospital, how
ever. it may be that patients will be adj
mitted before the opening day. Meth
odiSt deaconesses who are graduate
nurses will have direct charge over
all sick who may be in the place. The
hospital contains something over forty
rooms and will accommodate ordinar-
lily about thirty-five patients. In the
basement is located the hot water fur
mace and laundry the laundry and veg
liable cellars and other storerooms. On
the tirst floor are the women's wards.
private rooms, day rooms, offices and
parlors. On the second floor are the
mems wards, private rooms and day
room and operating room. On the
second floor are the nurses rooms and
obstetric wards and janitors rooms
On every floor are bath and toilet
rooms The whole building is wired
thruout with electric call bells as are
also the spacious porches. In front
of the building will be laid out beau
tfful park. In fact both Duilding and
surrounding premises will be fitted up
in the most modern style followed in
buildings of this sort. The wards, par
lors, ETC., will be furnished by the var
ious churches and lodges of the city.
Mr. Funk is now IA years old and be-
fore he should be called to his final ac-
court he desired to build himself
monument which should stand before
rising generations as a remembrance
of his characteristic generosity and
feeling of brotherhood toward his fell
low1nen. He carried out this idea In
the building OF the hospital and its
presentation to an organization Of peo-
pie in whose hands it would be safe
and upon whom he could depend to car
ry out the philanthropic work he had
in mind. The good old man has sue
ceeeled In doing work which the
people of the city will long appreciate
and which will furnish him mon
ument which Will well commemorate
his life and good works for years to
come

which they urged along these lines.
County Attorney Canoe has secured
competent counsel on the subject and
it has been decided to apply for his
admittance to the home of the feeble

papers have been sent for. AS soon
as the necessary arrangements can be
made the lad Will be confined in that
institution. The home at Glenwood IS
not an asylum nor is it of the same
character as reformatory. but the
boy, while an inmate of that institution
will be surrounded with every good in
fiuence, treated kindly, taught some
thing and possibly will come out in the
end better and wiser man. 1t is a
hard blow to the parents but they
have agreed upon this course.

Carver Thompson had an experience
with the heavy condition of the roads
yesterday. He left town at o'clock,
with a hearse drawn by four horses,
which was to convey the remains of the
late William Cochran to their last rest
ing place in Fairview cemetery. Every
thing went we'll until he came to the
hill near the Morford farm, where the
mud was very deep and, here was
where the trouble began. Three horses
mired and 1T became necessary to un-
hitch and attach q rope to the back
end of the hearse and pull out in that
manner, but, in so doing the hearse was
/. turned over, but not broken. After
several hours of hard work things We're
righted and the Cochran home was

Davenport.
Reports from all over the county are
to the effect that the country roads are
in the worst condition this spring in
the history of the county. Sheriff Nc
Arthur and the deputies in the office
have had great deal of country bust
ness the past few days serving notices
pertaining to the approaching term of
of the district court and they have In
many cases found the roads absolutely
impossible. even with light rig. In
many instances macadam roads have
been badly cut up and washed away
The blame for this condition is laid
more TO the heavy and continued rains
OF last summer than to the two heavy
showers which have marked this
spring. AS soon as the frost came out
of the ground this spring the water
which soaked the whole ground seemed
to swell up.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
II Hyomsi Does Not Cure You Of 0atarrh
Saws Feldmeyer Bros.


In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing O
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
of catarrh, Feldmeyer Brothers mean
exactly what this guarantee says.
OF course, the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred, or
else they could not afford to
make this unusual offer. But IL
the treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no ques-
tions or quibblings when you go to
get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh Is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells.
soothes and heals the irritated mu-
cous membrane, and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that have
resisted the usual methods of treat
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth
cd, and it has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but $1.0o,
and consists of an inhaler which will
last lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for more than a months treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for soc.
Feldmeyer Brothers give their per-
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
If it does not cure.
