Salaries Double Annuities.

Many OF the men and women who

than twice as much in salaries as they
would receive in annuities, and, there

long as they can retain their salaries.
We are willing to pay assessments of
not more than . per cent, because OF
the increases in pay which will result
to the lower-paid employees when the
superannuated are retired. and because
it will place the whole service on a
higher and more efficient basis.

Tied Up by the Storm.

Railroad and mail deliveries are be-
coming normal after one of the worst
disturbances for years. Last week
Wednesday, railroad traffic was blocked
until Saturday, when passenger train
from the east brought lot of snow
bound passengers from Calmar, also an
accumulation of mail consisting of g
sacks of papers and third class matter,
three pouches completely filled with let
ters, and considerable number af bull
ky, outside packages, the largest mail
ever arriving at the Cresco post Office.
That same day the temperature fell
and by Sunday morning an old-time
blizzard was raging and 9. train was
not run to Cresco until Tuesday fore
noon. Rural carriers made no deliver
les on Monday and made but partial de-
liveries on Tuesday and Wednesday.

the Decorah Public Opinion comments
as follows: "Dr. Kessel does this, not
because he is not busy enough in his
own hospital at Cresco, but because he
is big man in the surgical world, and
is doing it for the sake of humanity,
and at the earnest solicitations of the
Decorah hospital trustees. The doctor,
we are informed, will also cooperate
with any and all of the doctors here
in Decorah, both for consultations or
operations and this should mean that
our hospital will be doing the great
good expected of it during the succeed
ing years.
We think that the people of De-
corah and Winneshiek county will
heartily concur in the actions of the
hospital trustees in getting the SER
vices of DR.. Kessel, who has gained q
most enviable reputation as a surgeon.
Those here who do not know him per-
sonally, know him by reputation, and
have every confidence in him. He is
conscientious and the most implicit
trust can be placed in him, as it has
been these many years. 1t goes with
out saying that DR.. KessePs services
will be warmly appreciated"

Takes Charxe Of Decorah Hospital

The services of DR.. Kessel, the well
known and highly successful PHYSICIAN
and surgeon who has for a number of
years been connected with the hospital
at Cresco, have after considerable ne
gotlating, been secured for the Deco.
rah hospital. The first year of the
hospitals existence, there wss loss of
between $1,000 and $1,000 in the running
expense. The second year the loss was
increased to between $500 and $1,000.
The hospital directors decided that
something mnst be done to promote q
constant increase in the number Of
patients coming to patronize the De-
corah hospital, as the running expense
of the institution reached practically
the same figure when there were few
patients as when there were many.
With this in mind, the local directors
began correspondence with DR.. Kessel
and after number of weeks effort
have arranged with him to come here
every Monday for consultations and op-
erPtions, and will also remain oyer
Tuesday if necessary. He will also
come to Decorah at any other time if
some special occasion arises, and will
cooperate in any way possible with all
Decorah physicians. DR.. Kessel has
secured as an assistant, DR.. Campbell,
who is in tbis city now. He is grad
uate of Northwestern university, spent
several years as inferno with the Alex
ian Bros. of Chicago, and for the past
three years has been connected with
one of the large Minnesota hospitals.
:HA xDecoeah with He higaheSgI
recommendations, and will locate here
permanently.
The directors of the Decorah hospi-
tai feel very fortunate in securing the
services of these physicians, and it is
their hope that as result the hospital
may be placed on more prosperous
financial footing. Journal.
In commenting on the above matter
