VALPO UPSETS RENSSELAER FOR TENTH STRAIGHT WIN.

Valparaiso high school met the local high school quintette at the big high school gymnasium Friday evening in what was the second meeting of the season for the two teams, and proceeded to lengthen their string of straight victories to the ten mark by upsetting the Red and Black marksmen by a score of 40 to 21.

They defended their act by claiming that the local players were resorting to unnecessary roughness.

You never saw such a scene in your life. Two men at death grips at the bed of the ocean, eight fathoms below the eyes of man. One the husband who seeks to cast aside the faithful wife of his youth. The other the man who loved her, and loves her still. The eyes of mortal man have never beheld such a scene of staggering splendor. The imagination of human* has never conceived such magnificence as this.

FORMER RENSSELAER NURSE HOLDS IMPORTANT POSITION IN WESTERN INSTITUTION. i Through the courtesy of Dr. A. R. Kresler, of this city, we have had the privilege to examine the first annual report of the Methodist State Hospital at Mitchell, So. Dak. We find upon examination that Miss Luvie Gunyon, formerly surgical nurse in the hospital in this city, is supervisor of nurses in this western institution. There are a number of points of interest in the Mitchell hospital. The hospital was built and is operated by the Methodist hospital. It was opened in February, 1918. When fully completed the building, a fire-proof structure with a frontage of 168 feet and with a depth of 82. feet, will cost about $185,000. The. list of donations made to this institution is a very great credit to the citizenship of Mitehell and surrounding country. The largest single donation was $25,000, and the next was $22,750. There were a number of SIO,OOO, a large number ranging from $5,000 to SI,OOO and a very large amount was received in smaller donations.

The deceased was the daughter of John and Sarah Austin, numbered I among the very earliest of Rensselaer pioneers, and the wife of Ludd I Hopkins, whose name is' intimately associated with the early days of Rensselaer, he operating a mercantile business here for many years. To that union was born four children, Mrs.'George Hollingsworth, of Chicago; Louis F. Hopkins, of Chicago, and Senior Hopkins, of Minneapolis. One child, Ludd, Jr., preceded her to the grave. . One brother, W. B. Austin, of Chicago, and one sister, Mrs. Dr. Ensminger, of Crawfordsville, also* survive her. Mrs. Hopkins was an invalid for many years prior to her death, the greater part of which time she was confined to a wheel chair. How-1 ever, she bore her suffering cheerfully and patiently until death came to relieve her. A kind and loving mother, wife and sister, her . passing will cause genuine sorrow in the hearts of all who knew her. 1 The remains will arrive in this city at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon and will be taken to the Presbyterian -church where brief services will be held by the Rev.
