GENEROUS OFFER FOR HOSPITAL

GOODLAND CITIZEN MAKES MAGNIFICENT OFFER TO NEWTON COUNTY । ** . ■ . ’ 1 Mr: Henry T. Griggs, one of our I public spirited citizens, has made A moat generous offer, in fact one ( that will surely meet with the approval of the good people of this county. Mr. Griggs, as well as many others, have felt the need of a hospital in this community, (one good reason being that during any week of the year there are two or more of our people in some city hospital) and has made a proposition that will pave the way for a county hospital, and if all the rest of the people in Newton county are as generous as Mr. Griggs the project will go over with plenty of enthusiasm. The hospital project has been foremost in Mr. Griggs’ mind for many years and it was brought closer to the goal last summer when he purchased the J. A. Wickersham homestead on west Jasper street, of Fobert Wetli, where Cleremont Rider now lives. / This lot has a 200 foot frontage one the north side of Jasper street and is 300 feet deep, with plenty of large fine shade trees in the front part which is all in the hospital’s favor. Mr. Griggs’ idea is to move the present building to the west side of the lot and use for a Nurses Home —this would leave plenty of room for a modern Hospital, with all the late conveniences. In offering this Soposition to the county Mr. Griggs d • the interests of humanity well in mind, realizing that a hospital located here would be a great benefit to a large number people who would or could not consider a trip to the city—and even in emergency cases, a hospital located near

is a great privilege for those who are unfortunate to be caught in accidents and need immediate attention. A thirty room hospital would entitle same to a Nurses’ Training School, and this i sanother feature looked forward to by Mr. Griggs. In making this generous proposition Mr. Griggs places the proceeds from the sale of his 128 acre farm northwest of of Goodland which will amount to about s4s,ooo.oo—and he informs the Goodland Herald that he. has a ready buyer. jn order to secure the hospital the taxpayers of the county must agree to give an equal amount, that would insure its maintenance, which has been estimated would not be above $5.00 each, to be paM in a period of 20 years. On last Friday night Mr. Gngg® met with the town board of Goodland and made his proposition—a committee was appointed to get busy and that is where the matter stands at this time —but everything seems favorable for a county hospital to be located at this place. More particulars will be given out as they materialize. —Goodland Herald.

THE BETTING WAS LIGHT.

Chicago, June 11. —Betting on who the convention will name as its choice for president was as hard to find this morning as the traditional hen’s tooth. The good old fashioned rolls of bank notes which used to drift around a convention, were being carefully kept out of sight. One prominent member of the Pennsylvania delegation who would rather bet than eat, offered 5 to 3 on Sproul, but he admitted he was taking a long chance. Real betting on any of the prospective candidates was not in sight.
