Grinnel, March 2l.-Some changes
are noted in the list of candidates for
city official life for the next two years
and the real work OF lining up the vot-
ers Is going on with care and persist
erce. In the Third ward Harry Case
has dropped out as aldernlanic candi-
date ard w. II. Stlahan has come out
by petition. Three parties politically
are Tow represented there: John
Dreamer. present councilman. demo
era tic; ". H. Shahan, republican, and
Burt LYON, socialist. Frank $. Edge
has come out in the Second ward for
alderman at large, by petition, thus
making the First, Second and Fourth
wards represented for that office.
Considerable opposition seems 10 be
developing against the proposed taking
over of the Grnl.ell hospital by the
city and there will be many who viii
vote against such action on the plea
that the city is already overburdened
with taxes and that the hospital ought
10 be self supporting. \ considerable
number of citizens seem fully inbued
with the idea that q city tlospita! IS
but another scheme for e,.rich.ng the
physicians and surgeons and can not
be made to believe the statement that
rot dollar Of the funds given TO the
hospital has ever gone TO any phys!-
clan for MS professional services. The
very complete statement OF the re-
cetpts and expenditures Of he hospital
since its opening in 1908 shows run
ming expenses OF nearly $4,000 with a
present deficit OF only sl.6S3 This de-
felt with a mortgage on the real es-
tate of $500 Will be assumed by the
city If the proposition carries at the
election OF Monday next. TIE Offset this
sum the city VIII receive the hospital
building and grounds ard furniture ard
fixtures worth some $500. Private
subscription to the original stock fund
that made the existence of the hoSplta!
a possibility amounted to s4.I.o, all OIL
which IS released TO the city Il the vote
IS favorable.
An act of vandalism occurred on
Saturday night consisting of the break

would seem 10 be impossible TO &C
conplish such a destruction OF eAe
material without a deliberate purpose
