BLOOMINGTON ''SRUN"
OUR BASKET BALL BOYS
Local Amateurs Were Up Againt
Very Strong Team.
Were Very Nicely Treated by Our
Neighboring Players and The De-
feat Was Not Unexpected.

The high school boys team met
their first defeat in basket ball at
Bloomington Saturday evening when
the Bloomington high school team
won the game with a score of 68-17
The local boys are not cast down
on account of their defeat for they
we're not at all hopeful of a victory
when they started for the game.
When one stops to compare the
teams he can readily see that the
local team did not have a very large
chance for victory. The high school
at Bloomington has supported basket
ball team for over seasons and the
boys have during this period played
goodly number of games in which
they have won not only many honors,
as victors but have earned experience.
in each game that is an Important
factor for victory. They had a great
advantage over the local team in that.
they had practiced add mastered.
several special plays which aided
them Immensely They also had
team work which is the main factor
of the game as is team work in any
great work or pleasure
The local team were playing the.
first match game of basket ball that
has been PLAYED by any Lancaster
boys in many years.
For this one thing the local boys
deserve great deal of honor. To be-
able to start new sport in high
school athletics which has been dead
for long time while all our neigh
boring cities and villages have been
enjoying the sport.
The team that played at Bloom
Ington had never before played to-
getner, as was very noticeable while
the game progressed.
The boys lacked unity of team
work, experience and the ability to
guard their men.
The lineup for the contesting
teams were as follows:
Bloomington Lancaster
H. s. Il. S.
A. Brady
g TorDowsky Center. &c. Roth
c. Porter: Left forward o. Trentzsch
A. Chritchlcw Guard &c. Rech
]. Brady Right forward r. orion
French. 80. Guard {. B. Chandler
Kalt. ........ Guard NJ ZiegIer
Only five men are required to play
the game but substitute was worked
in the second half by each team thus
making six men in each lineup with
an extra center Of Bloomington.
About 40 rooters went from Lancas-
ter to see the game and attend tia
dance afterward.
A return game is expected suon and
will be held in this city.

But Nobody Was Seriously Injured and
Only Slight Damage Was Done
to the Train.

A train wreck that was serious in
some respects and yet most fortunate
in others, from the fact that nobody
was seriously hurt and no great amount
of property destroyed, occurred a few
miles northeast of Lancaster on the G.
& N. w railway, at about 8 40 last
Wednesday morning.
The morning train left Lancaster
at 80, composed of two passenger
coaches and one combined baggage

loaded with show baggage belonging
to the Frank Winninger company
which played here Monday and Tues

LANCASTER NOW HAS
ANOTHER HOSPITAL
Institution Conducted by Drs.
Doolittle is Fine One.
Now Acc ommodates Eleven Patients
And Will Soon be Able to Take
Care of Six More.

For several weeks past the. Doolittle
Bros DR.. S. W. Doolittle and DR.. J.
C. Doolittle. have been very busy in
preparing and fitting up rooms over
the NJ Mcdonald store for fine up
to-date hospital for the treatment of
surgical and non contagious cases.
The Drs. DoolittIe have practised
medicine in this city for Is and 4
years respectively and their manner of
treating cases is by this time we'll
known by people all through this
region who have had any need of
their services in medical matters.
DR.. S. w. Doolittle, the elder
brother, decided a few years ago to
retire from general practice but he
has now made arrangements to help
his brother in the hospital and will
be ready to answer calls for general
city service aside from Office and
hospital cases. He will answer calls
in the country only in consultation
with other doctors.
Dr.. j. G. Doollttle will handle all
cases within or without the city and
will assist Lis brother in surgical
cases at the hospital.
The Drs. have invested a large
amount in apparatus for their new
beautifully ftted-up operating room
which has been prepared in the north
west corner of hospital rooms.
The rooms have been so arranged
that patients may be cared for and
at the present time the rooms are
full of patients all of whom are
getting along nicely.
Aside from the private rooms there
is a ward, in which are four separate
beds arranged to accommodate four
patients.
A diet kitchen is also in connection
and all foods for patients are prepared
right in the hospital.
Soon another room Will be fixed up
which will be used as ward and
will accumulate six more patients
When this is done one ward will be
used for women and one for men.
Each patient is furnished with a
private locker where he may keep all
valuables safely, and already two
trained nurses are employed.
Miss Florence Hope. Of Blooming
ton. who IS graduate of Finley
hospital at Dubuque, is the day nurse
Miss Lizetta Alt, of Lancaster, who
received her training at Colum bia
hospital. Milwaukee, is the night
attendant.
A fine laboratory is equipped with
all up to date instruments for
scientific diagnosis and a dressing
room is fitted with complete outfit
In the front of the building each of
the Drs. has private room for
consultation and also a comfortable
waiting room.
At the latter part of this week Miss
Fannie Sylbaugh, of Milwaukee, who
was superintendent of nurses in the
Columbia hospital will take full
charge of the department of nursing
A few days ago the railroad claim
agent for the G.. & N. w. was in the
city aud while here he was shown
through the entire hospital. He
complimented the Drs. saying that
their splendid new hospital was the
finest equipped and best fitted he had
ever seen in city the size of Ian

The hospital Is very clean, neat,
and thoroughly sanitary IN every way

about six months; not liking that
institution he left there and went to
St. Joseph Mo-, and remained there
for few months, going from there to
Independence, Iowa. He was we'll

ment and gained so much that his
attending physician the late DR.. Lewis
of Dubuque thought him in fair way
to recovery. He was married in
Dubuque to Miss Marie Mommsen of
Woodman. Wis, June 1st 1910. So
we'll did he feel that he and his wife
went to Yankton and secured positions
as nurses in the hospital; the close
confinement compelled him to re-
linquish hospital work and they
returned home. He secured a
position with the street railway
company in Dubuque as conductor. It
was only shortly after they had
comfortably settled to housekeeping
that the disease of which he was
afflicted manifested in worse form
than ever and they were compelled to
break up and return home. A
number of physicians were consulted
but to no avail. He entered the
state sanitarium at Wales, Wis, and
there grew worse, He requested to
be brought home and advised the day
before Thanksgiving and after linger-
ing five weeks the end came.
Surrounded by his wife. father,
mother. brothers, and sisters he peace
fully passed away. Through all of
his sufferings he never uttered word
of complaint, he knew the end was
near as he told his brother Sam
