WINFIELD HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL
The humane inclinations of a community
INTRODUCTORY are not better demonstrated than by showing consideration for the afflicted
and unfortunate. Disease and death are the lot of man. The people of Winfield are known far and near for their readiness to extend a helping hand in time of need. also for their en- thusiasm in pushing along any enterprise that will be a credit to their town. Amost significant illustration of their tendencies is the building and equipment of a public hos- pital. As far as the writer knows. no other town of its size in the state has such an institution. and this is a home affair. No non-resident of public appropriation contributed to its construction. In December. 1899 a few citizens of Winfield, alive to its needs and prestige. form-

ulated a plan to establish and maintain a public hospital. They organized the Winfield Hospital Association and the following named persons were selected from the incorporators as the officers to serve the first year: J. P. Baden. President; F. K. Robinson. Secretary; W. H. Somermer. Treasurer. The capital stock was subscribed. the property purchased, and the building enlarged, remodeled and equipped under the personal supervision of the directors. One of the most liberal contrib- utors in time and money as well as in enthusiasm was Mr. T F. Axtell to whose good judgment and active energy the hospital owes much of its present success. The location is a sightly one, at the east end of Ninth avenue. on the street car line and one mile from Main street. A fine view of the town and valley of the Walnut river is unfolded to the vision from the upper balcony. Two acres of ground well set with trees and shrubbery are included with and surround the hospital.
This is not intended or expected to be a money making enterprise. If it can be made self-sustaining. the! highest anticipations of its promoters will be realized. To present it to the favorable and kindly consideration of the public is the purpose of this booklet.
The hospital is a two story frame structure THE HOSPITAL standing several hundred feet from any . other building. The basement contains a drying room for laundry, a store room for supplies. a latest design steam heating furnace and other necessary rooms for coal etc .. all separated by stone wall partitions. Upon entering the reception hall of the .main building cheerfulness and com- fort are at once suggested. Beautiful pictures adorn the walls. blooming plants are at the windows. on the table the latest magazines and papers. easy chairs and rockers. all seem to invite the visitor to rest. The first room on the floor was furnished in memory of the late J. P. Baden.by his wife. The walls are tinted. the furniture is light with white iron bedstead. easy chairs. a bedside table. bright rugs. and all other requisites nec- essary to the comfort of the sick. 1 he employees of the Winfield lee Plant by their generosity have one of the cheeriest and most tastily furnished rooms on the lower floor. Other rooms that are inviting and cosy are those furnished by Drs. Emerson and Jacobus and the Episcopal ladies A suite of two rooms on the west side contain beautiful furniture. handsome rugs and fine bedding. this donation comes from the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad Company.

MEDICAL STAFF
Winfield Hospital has upon its medical staff, physicians and surgeons of more than local fame. Members of this board on account of their high reputations have frequently been call- ed to distant portions of this state and to contiguous states and territories to render delicate end important profes- sional services. It is not necessary to go beyond this hospital to obtain the highest skill in the profession.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
In religious and social movements. in science and arts, in mechanical de- velopment and the dissem- ination of life's comforts the century just closed is without parallel in the world's history. In divin- ing the sources. causes and transmission of dis- eases, in combating and circumventing contagions. in anticipating and sup- pressing plagues, in amel- iorating physical affliction in deadening the animal sensibilities, promoting health and protracting life, medicine, surgery. physiology and psychology have kept pace with the developments of the nine- teeth century.

EARL M. HARTLEY songs are passing away. Customs so popular in early days succumb to the
fads of the moment. Steam is barely holding its own against the achievements of the age of marvelons electricity. Elec- tric motors and electric powers have driven the horse from his field of labor, the old lumbering coach has faded before the on-rushing steam car. Modern ideas have displaced ancient: and log huts are no longer fit for embryo presidents to be born in. while the old men have been relegated to oblivion by younger men of more progressive ideas. And it is he whose name heads this artice that is one of the foremost of the lat- ter class. Mr. Hartley began his business career in this city only four years ago, his first position being that of deputy clerk of the district court, whice he held with honor to himself and satisfaction to his superiors. This position proved an ex- cellent stepping stone to a professional life. The duties of it were exacting. being a position that called for men of intelli-
gence and clerical ability. He established the fact that he was methodical, competent and industrious. All this and more did Mr. Hartley prove himself to be, he was prompt, careful and painstaking, which reflected credit upon himself, winning favors of the court and bar by courteous attention and compe- tency in the discharge of his clerical obligations. Mr. Hart- ley is imbued with the most progressive ideas, possessing rare executive ability, enterprise and energy. By studious and close attention to business he has kept himself in the front rank of the young business men of the city. He is now in the employ of Messrs. Stafford & Albright, the leading abstract firm of Southern Kansas, where none but the best of talent and trustworthy are employed. Mr. Hartley is known to all as one of our rising young men whose grit and enterprise is bound to carry him to success. The Commercial Club realizing this fact, did him the honor of making him their secretary for the ensuing year. Mr. Hartley was born in Indianola, Ill., June 12, 1877, received his education in the Northwestern

B. F. SADIL Photo by Dresser
Among the many noted artists and profes-
B. F. SADIL sional people of every class, who have been attracted to this land of push and thrift the name of B.F. Sadil has attracted considerable conspicuousness. He is a foreigner by birth, having been born in Humbolec, Bohemia, Dec. 3, 1862. He received his education in his native land, never having attended an English school. Although a small boy when he came to this country, he had already acquired what the average person does at the age of twenty or more He had graduated from the high school and attended an academy two terms. At the age of twelve years which was in the early seventies, he came to America with his father to seek his fortune. On their journey west they were the victims of a band of train robbers, which left them pen- niless in a strange country and dependent upon their own ex- ertions. Mr. Sadil though a mere boy, adjusted himself to the circumstances and as he had acquired a knowledge of the English language, worked his way up, his first few years having been spent on a farm in Nebraska From 1880 to 1887 he had charge of a lumber business. for a Chicago concern, in different places along the Burlington ronte. then in 1888 he came to this city and was employed as bookkeeper for the Bliss & Wood mill, in which capacity he served until the business of the milling firm was wound up through the intervention of the court. Since the spring of 1889, he has been indentified with the firm of Stafford & Albright as abstracter and record examiner.
Mr. Sadil is recognized as an artist of more than ordinary ability, and his work is known far and wide. He does all the platting, drafting and map work for the firm with which he is connected and makes designs of all descriptions. Few people
are possessed with the natural ability and love for pen work- manship as is Mr. Sadil. Since 1892 he has been the manager of the abstract department of Stafford & Albright and by his close application to the business, originality and perseverance, has brought that branch of the firm's vast business to an emi- nent degree of perfection and the work of his department is acknowledged second to none in every particular. Hle is a prominent and active worker in the Masonic fraternity, having served as secretary of every lodge he was identified with since he became a member of the society. He is also a member of the A. O. U. W. and M. W. A. He was married July Ist, 1883, to Miss Lena MeKisson of Ilubbell, Neh. They are the parents of four girls and live at 520 East Eighth avenue.
