HOSPITAL QUESTION

Some time ago, aud even recently
the very important question OF
first class hospital has been talke
of more or less among all the bust
ness men Of our city, the question
also having been brought up at the
banqut last Friday evening which
was held at the Hotel Worthington.
Now, that this question has come
up SO strong among the professional
men, it seems as if this would be
really the time for all of us to wake
up and realize that this is as good a
pace for an institution of this kind
as there is in this section of the
country, for intance, one great ad-
vantage we have and always will
have is that this town is railroad
centre and has the best train service
of any city between Minneapolis
and Sioux City, and again, for in
lance, if we had have had an in
stitution of this kind here last Tues
day when the wreck occurred just
few miles out of town. We would
then have had some place to have
taken the injured in case of necess
lity or through advisability by the
patients physician, who undoubted-
~ knows for your own benefit what
would he best for you.
| We all we'll know too, that good
lcreditable institution of this kind
would be one OF the best advertising
schemes of today, for when some
outsider would come here for treat
ment and return practi cally re-
lcovered, if there was any show for
him on earth, some one would almost
be sure to ask that person about the
|care, etc., which, if we had one OF
the very best institutions to be OBJ
tanned, it would sure be a great
thing for this city.
! Now let every live citizen put
their shoulder to the wheel and SEQ
that it is started and kept going un-
til this institution is completed SO
as to have some place to care for the
sick and injured.

HERBERT FRANCK DEAD
Herbert Franck Passed Away al
the Home of His Parents In
This City


day, February ~, 1905, of tuber~
colosis. Herbert, or Bert az ho
was Familiarity called was the Oldest
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Franck,
of this place. He was born in Port
age City, Wis.,, Oct IL, 1883, came
to Worthintgon with his parents
about five years ago. He gradu-
ated with honors from our high
school with the class of 1904. At
school he WAS studious and favor
tie with his classmates and intruc-
tors. g He was fell of life, ambition
and energy, boy of good habits,
the pride of his brothers and par
ents to whom he was deeply at
tached, and we'll liked by all the
young people with whom he associ-
ated. At the time of the develop
ment of the fatal dieease he was a
student at the Mankato Commercial
College, taking a business course
| and was making good and success
III, progress. =
T. Just when the disease attacked
Bert it is not" definitely known.
About three years ago he had SER
ious cold but at the time it was
thought by physicians of that
there was no symptoms of the
disease nor is there any traceable in
near relatives. Last spring while
playing ball he suffered a slight in
Jury Of the side of the foot by the
ball. About three months ago the
injured spot gave him some pain
The pain increased and q physician
at Mankato was consulted and ad
vised Bert to go to the hospital for
an operation, hut he preferred to
come home. The next day after
arrival home four weeks ago, the
foot was opened and three pieces
of bones removed. A physician
from Sioux City and one from Sib-
ley were called, At first it was
thought after he gained little
strength he could be removed to
Arizona for a change of climate.
But the foot grew to such con
dition that amputatlon was decided.
The seriousness of the case became
more alarming and it was decided
that amputation would be useless
and there was no hope of saving
the young man 3 life. Everything
was done that was possible to d. but
without avail. AS physician OK
pressed it the opening of the foot
to remove the bone, acted like the
opening OF q damper to a stove,
creating a draft, causing the dis
ease to permeate the entire system.
He was practically unconscious the
most of the time for two weeks
prior to bis death, and the last two
days totally unconscious. |
The funeral wal. held in the M.
e. Church Monday afternoon 10y
Rev. q. A. Cahoon, officiating.
There was q profusion of floral
offerings, among them being a beau
tiful design from the Order of Rail-
road Conductors, Sioux City, set
pieces from the graduating class,
Knight and Lady Maccabees and one
from st. James, besides numerous
lunches of cut flowers.
Mr.. Franck and wife have a host
of friends in this place besides those
with whom he associates in his &C.
cupation as passenger conductor on
the Omaha road, being numbered
among the Oldest. All will sympa-
