them one better , aa he hopes to turn
the trick wearing a regular lufielder's
glove , which Is as much protection as
paper In comparison with the big mitt
worn by the receivers. Hero ! the
way Elberfeld dopes It out :
"Tbe monument is OM ) feet high , and
the experts say that the Telocity of
the ball when It reaches the ground
has a value of ( KK ) pounds In weight
Moybe fo. but I'll bet that line drives
tralgbt from the bat to QM at third

toMed from the top of that monument.
"At the liame they come quicker , too ,
not glrliiK a man much time to gauge
their line or movement. To catch a
ball thrown from the famous monument
ment moans nothing more to A good
ball player than Judging it * fall. I
think I can do it. "
Klberfeld may have the painful ex-
pnrience of losing one or both hands
by the attempt , but he wants to try it ,

Lincoln Returns to the Wet Column.
Lincoln , May ! ? . Lincoln reversed
Its municipal policy of the past two
years , and voted to return to the sys
tem of licensing saloons. The major
ity In favor of licenses , with returns
practically all In , Is at least 800 , and
may reach 1,000. A year ago the inn'
jority against license was slightly over
900. A. H. Armstrong , republican and
business men's association candidate
Is elected mayor by a majority of ap
proxltnntcly 1,100 over Hobert Malone
democrat. The entire republican city
ticket is elected and the republicans
will control the city council by a sub
- stuntlal majority.
The vote cast Is believed to bo the
- second largest In the history of tin
municipality. The campaign has beoi
, a strenuous one , marked , however
with little bitterness.
- Under the referendum vote whicl
re-establishes saloons , the number of
drinking places will be limited to
twouty-tlve , one each to a population
of about lnOO ! , and the license foe will
be 311.000 annually , the highest '
over Imposed In the state. Thu bars

Sees the Nrrd of a Hospital.
Omaha. .May ; t. Special to The
Nous : Apparently having In mind
the crying need of a hospital at Nor-
blck and Injured not only of Norfolk
hut likewise of the big tenitory trib
utary to It , Dr. K. A. Long of .Madison ,
who today responded to the welcome-
of Dr. CrumnieT at the Nebraska State
Medical society. npoko earnestly of the
demand for hospitals In tbe smaller
cities of the state , and pointed out
what they would mean.
Dr. Long emphasized the fact that
"It Is an open secret that private
hospitals in smaller communities , with
ra're exceptions , do not pay. "
In this connection he dwelt upon
the plan of local physicians and citi
zens coming to an understanding for
a practical piogram of maintenance.
Dr. Long said In port :
Private Hospitals Don't Succeed.
Wo like you so well that for yours
we have s ent you our best cases and
wo have so Impressed our tespcctho
committees with jour wisdom and
your skill , and our own shortcomings ,
that thu dear people are beginning to
IIiii k to you and to your hospitals ,
without our knowledge , assistance or
consent.
A comparison of hospital facilities
published In last month's Western
Medical Itovlow ( you may have read
it , although most of us do not rend
our own journal ) shows that Omaha
has moro hospital beds than Kansas
City , Denver , St. Paul or Minneapolis
\\ltli double the population. In ; i di
rect manner you have paid for these
facilities , but indirectly , we of the
state at large and our patients have
contributed the money. And hero is
where I wish you to take me seriously ,
for I do hope to make a point.
The time is at hand for the estab
lishment of hospitals in the smaller
communities , or by the communities
In conjunction with physicians. It
is , I believe , an open secret , that priv
ate hospitals in the smaller commun
ities , with rare exceptions , do not pay.
Maintenance The Problem.
It .seems however entirely rciihon-
ublo that the physicians of a given
community could get to a basis of >
mutual uiiderstaiullng. and would then
appeal to the community which they
serve , that an organization could be
formed that would maintain u hos
pital suitable to the needs of that
community. The local profession
int
might perhaps , reasonably bo expected
tIP
ed to assume half of the burden. The
number of surgical cases originating
in every community Is really nmn/.ing
when one stops to count them. It
has been estimated that theie are
enough hemorrhoidal cases in an average -
iry
ago county to keep one surgeon busy
operating for a. whole year , and enough ;
neglected hernia cases to keep one person
rot
son busy for perhaps two years , not
to mention gall-stones , appendices and
the like. These people would almost
without exception , prefer to remain at
or near home for operation. Surgeons ,
local or metropolitan , according to the
liec
wishes of the patients , could bo re
quisitioned to do the operating.
Thus would the community be bet-
ter served , the patient better satis-
isnl
lied , the rural profession bettor qual
ified through more varied expedience ,
and would retain that which from )
every view-point of eternal justice belongs -
longs to it.
