AN EXCITING GAME.
High School Girls Battled for Basket
Ball Championship on Friday Even
ing.-Juniors Won.


The High School girls exhibition bas-
ket ball game played in their gymna-
SUM on Friday evening, for the High
School championship, proved to be very
interesting and quite exciting The
girls were all dressed in uniform, blue
gymnasium dresses, with red sailor col
lar, which gave them a very pretty
appearance. Nearly 800 spectators
were present who occupied every seat
and all available standing room. Each
girl seemed to be in dead earnest and
played their best to gain the honors for
her class, and so none entertained fears
of being hurt, although some lively
tumbling around was done during the
game. One of the Juniors was hit on
her nose by the ball which caused her
to feel of it quite frequently during the
game to see if it was all there yet. The
game commenced at eight O'Clock when
the Sophomores met and played for
twenty minutes, at the end of which the
score was 2 to /, in favor of Freshm en-.
Miss Lita Heinemann, of the Freshmen,
made two scores, and Miss Anna Ehrecke
of the Sophomore class, made one.
The Seniors and Juniors met next.
Miss Libbie Roloff, of the Seniors, made
three, and Miss Ella Norman made
four and Miss Clara Thomas made two.
The latter two mentioned are Juniors
After short intermission the two win
ming teams (Juniors and freshmen met
to contest for the final honors. In this
game Miss Dorothy Heinemann, of the
Juniors, made four, and Miss Lita
Heinemann, of the Freshmen class,
made two, which made the Juniors the
champions of the High School.
One of the fair Seniors watching the
game from the gallery was heard to
remarks "Oh, those old Juniors; there,
they made another score-it makes me
mad-I would rather see the Freshmen
win everything. bet two big boxes of
bon-bons on the Freshmen and now I'll
lose those, too"
A first and second High School girls
basket ball teams will be organized 10 a
short time, and then one of the teams
will play game with the Clintonville
high school girls basket ball team on
March 9th, and return game will be
played March 10th. One of the games
will be played in each city, but in which
city the first game is to be played has
not yet been decided. Referees, James
and Clarence Sampson. Timekeeper,

GENERAL FRENCH.
A1oousin TO Our Popular Grocerymar
Henry French.

Major General John d. p. French,
who led the relief force into Kimberly
last week, is a Welchman, and an own
cousin of Henry French, of this city.
He is one of the generals in South
Africa who has managed to meet with
no reyerses He was with General
White at Ladysmith, and sc escaped,
just before the investment of the town
was made, in a train that was riddled
with Boer bullets Gen. French and
Others on board being compelled to
crawl under the seats to escape. His
departure from Ladysmith at the
eleventh hour was on the order of Gen.
Butler, who said that he was too good
a soldier to be shut up in a besieged
town. Major Arthur Grifiiths of the
British army, In an article in the Lon
don Daily Mail of six weeks ago, was
of the opinion that Gen. French was
the best British General in South At
rica al that time. Henry French is
against his ilIustrious cousin in this
war; as his sympathies are entirely with
the Beers.

HUMBUGS.
In The Medical Profession.

Who has not heard of Barnum and
his saying; 'sThe American people like
to be humbugged." When we go to a
circus we don't expect much else. We
go to have diversion, and we are in a
mood to enjoy any humbug, the greater
the better.
But when we find ourselves in danger
of losing the most precious of our Great
or's gifts, that which is more precious
than gold-our health-then we certain
ly do not want humbug.
We do not want to entrust the most
precious of our CREATOR gifts to Quacks,
who visit our town once or twice, com
ing from we know not where, and after
taking our hard earned money, they
disappear as they come, leaving no
trace behind except numerous unpaid
bills, and some of us the worse off for
taking of their Patent Mixtures
Let us then be warned in time, and
when we are in need of Medical aid, go
to physician whom we all know about,
one who has visited our town regularly
for more than five years. We all know
where he halls from, and where he al
ways can be found. He is the physician
who carries with him the blessings of
the people into whose families he has
brought happiness by the restoration of
health to some member.
We refer to DR.. Turbin, the great spec
cialist, whose honest, upright, eonscien-
tious dealings, together with his won
derful medical success have made his
name household word in many fam
lilies of this town and neighborhood.
If unable to call upon him when he
visits your town, letter addressed to
his Office l03 Randolph st. will always
receive prompt and careful attention.
DR.. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day Feb. 9th at Bells Hotel.

WAS MURDERED.
That is the Opinion of Those Acquaint-
ed With the Particulars.

A good deal has been written about
James Lewellin who it has been gener-
ally supposed committed suicide last
October, at Wilton. Lewellin was the
owner of the old Schwaff farm on the
Merrill road in this county and sold the
same last fall to r. Powers, and then
returned to his old home in the lower
part of the state. He was found dead
with bullet hole in his head and the
| jury brought in verdict of suicide. A
travelling man who was in the room. adj
joining Lewellin's made the following
statement last Tuesday to reporter ,,f
the Lacrosse Chronicle:
Il tell you that young man (Jares
LeweHin) never killed himself He was
murdered in cold blood"
Everybody who heard it listened in
tently for what might follow.
I'm support of the theory of suicide
you will hear it stated that young Lew
ellin locked himselfin his room and there
killed himself, and then attention will
be called to the fact that the key was on
the inside of the door. Well, the key
was on the inside of the door. but it was
out of the keyhole and it was hanging
there loosely by string tied to the
doorknob, and the door never was
locked by Lewellin. was the second
man in the room after the killing of
Lewellin.'

talking loudly and with considerable
warmth. | discovered at once that it
was a wrangle over some money mat

NAIL AT FARMERS DOORS.

The credit of rural free delivery be
longs almost exclusively to the Nc
Kinley administration. Hon. Perry S.
Heath, first assistant postmaster gen
eral. said the other day: "A move
ment to broaden the free delivery of
the mails was begun by Postmaster
General Wanamaker under the admin
istration of President Harrison 1t
took the form Of village free delivery
and extended, as an experiment, the
plan of delivering mails by carriers, as
existing in cities of 10000 population,
|or $4,000 gross postal receipts, to for
ty or fifty selected villages of less pop
ulation and smaller postal receipts.
The experiment was great success as
far as it went, but the succeeding
democratic administration, fearing its
elfect i'll popularizing republican prin-
ciples and disseminating republican
literature, ordered it dropped.
1T was republican administration
that conceived and executed the idea
of Frightening The home of the farmer,
educating his children, increasing the
value of his land, compelling the i'm
provement of his roads and giving him
ready access to market for his crops
by CARRYING the United States mail to
him on his farm.
''Since the 4th of March, 1897, nearly
100000 rural homes in all parts of the
United States have been brought into
close touch with the rest of the world
by daily visit of the rural postman. !"

OUR INsULAR COMMERCE..

The divisions of customs and insulal
affairs of the war department have
made public an advance summary of
their monthly bulletin relative to the
imports and exports of merchandise
which have passed the several ports OF
the Philippine islands for the periot
of four months ended October 81, 1899
The total trade with all countries com.
bined was: Importations, $9,75s,13s;
expectations, $6,415,22O.
Altho the imports during this period
exceeded the exports by $3,342 ,9ls, on
ly three ports were open for trade.
During the above period 740 sailing
vessels with a net tonnage of 3O,492
and 444 steam vessels, net tonnage
327,s79, entered Philippine ports, and
1888 sailing vessels, net tonnage 34,OS2,
and 1875 steam vessels, with net tom
mage of 306,540, cleared from the
ports of the islands.
The report records the fact that the
sanguinary war carried on in the most
fertile portions of the islands, very
naturally paralyzed native industries,
large quantities of hemp, rice, ETC., be-
ing destroyed by retreating insurgents
to prevent the same from falling into
American hands. Under normal con-
ditions, however, it is expected that
the trade of the Philippines will in
crease greatly, and the balance of
trade turn strongly in favor Of the
islands.

They have discovered only two pages
OF this gospel, each having words on
both sides, but being badly torn. They
were found among "a batch of Egyp-
tan papyri purchased at Cairo for the
library Of the university. The writing
is in Coptic, the language spoken by
the Egyptians at the time of the Sa-
vior's birth and during the early cen
turtles of the church. The first frag-
menu contains a prayer by Christ and
an address by him to the apostles.
There appears to be an account of the
agony at Gethsemane closely resem-
bling those in st. Matthew, St. Mark,
and ST. Luke.
But this fragment purports to be
written by an eye witness. Now, only
St. Peter, ST. John, and st. James were
present at Gethsemane. The new Cos
pei, therefore, must have been writ
ten by st. Peter or st. James. The Sec
ond fragment is much more incomplete
than the other, but there is little doubt
that it is part of an accounr of the res
direction.

MR. LAcEY,s "BIRD BILL"

Sioux City journal: Congressman
Lacey's bird bill' has passed the
house, only twenty-six votes being re-
corded against it. The measure auth
orizes the secretary of agriculture to
provide for the introduction and re-
storation of game, song and insectivo-
rous wild birds. 1t gives the secretary
the authority to forbid the introduce
ton of undesirable birds or animals
from foreign countries. 1T prohibits
interstate commerce in game killed in
violation of the state law.
The bill, as Congressman Lacey ad-
mits, was inspired partly by sentiment
but there is much that is practical in
it. Everybody comprehends that game
is growing scarcer and that song birds
are Becoming less numerous because of
the indiscriminate slaughter. Most
states where game still survives in any
considerable quantities have passed
laws for its protection and are making
efforts to enforce them. They have
been able TO do away to . large extent
