HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.

The high school gymnasium is
having the. effect of increasing the
interest in field sports of the young
er element in this city. Already a
rival gymnasium has been started
for the young men not connected
with the schools We are informed
that some of the schools associated
with Red wood Falls in the district
athletic association, are III favor Of
holding the next meeting here. The
main draw back in the opinion of
the high school boys, is that Red
wood Falls people do not appreciate
field sports to the same degree as
Marshall and some other towns in
the district, and hence the expenses
will not be provided for properly
here. II this is true, it is unfortu
nate. Our community cannot afford
to be Indifferent to matter OF so
much Importance to the coming
young men. Before deciding the

ST ARD GETS IT.

w. G. Starr of Lam berton will be
the next deputy oil inspector for
this district, if the present plans of
the powers that be are carried out.
The district has been rearranged
so that it will include Tracy and
Redwood Falls. The latter city has
heretofore been attached to Renville
county, and Tracy has been here
tofore attached to what is known as
the Lyon and Lincoln and a portion
of Yellow Medicine county district.
The two towns now form new dis.
trict.
The rearrangement of the dis
trict was decided upon by Oil In
spector Schiffman some time ago.
He deemed it a good district and
would have it no other way. The
slicing of the district will cut down
the deputy inspector S fees about
one-half, and as a result Anson
Evans Of Walnut Grove Grove and
Mr.. Starr got together, with the
result that the former decided to re.
lease his friends in favor of Mr..
Starr.
On Friday evening last Mr.. Lar
son, the representative from this
county, had a long conference with
Mr.. Schiffman, and as a result Mr..
Larson was given the privilege of
naming the inspector. He named
Mr.. Starr and onSaturday afternoon
telephoned his acceptance, and II e
Lamberton editor will hereafter in
spect the oil at Tracy and Redwood
Falls.
Mr.. Starr ought to make a good
oil inspector. He possesses the
proper qualifications, and he has
conducted a straightforward Repub-
lican paper at all times. While he
has ln'dulged IN bitter personalities
in the columns Of the latter, it is
hoped that in the appointment he
will, at least, admit that there are
always two sides to a question. The
Gazette. and its editor, who have
sometimes been objects Of his per-
sonal insinuation and attacks, offer
con gratulations.

NORTHSlDE TEACHERS.

postpo poned meeting ct the
Nefthside Teachers association met
at the high school room in this city
last Saturday, at 1870 O'Clock.
After the usual opening exercises
Prof. Jones organized the teachers
into class in zoology, his teachings
showing thorough comprehension
of the principles of that science.
This study occupied the time up to
the noon recess.
In the afternoon the association
convened at 1:20, and enjoyed a
good sing: = lasting twenty min
utes, with President Jones as musi-
cal director. This was followed by
a roll call Of MEMBERS after which
the consideration of current events
occupied the time very pleasantly
as we'll as proftably-for half an
hour or more. After a ten minute
recess, Supt. Race called the asso-
citation to order for the considera-
tion Of questions in pedagogy, last
ing half an hour. The study OF
Shakespeare, underthe leadership OF
Miss Kennedy, included paper by
Miss Clipfell on the Time of Writ
ing Julius Caesar, : and the reading
of Act III Of that tragedy. After a
general discussion on the characters
of the tradegy, the association ad-
journed. The next regular date OF
meeting will be March 9th. x

large number of young men not
members of the church were pres

large number of young men not
members of the church were pres
ent.
Mr.. Stewards first advice to
young men was to be on the best Of.
terms with their parents. They
may not be as we'll educated as
you, { said the speaker, in books
and etiquette, but they have store
of knowledge backed by experience,
and long years ofobservation. They
think more of you than they do OF
their farm or business. Treat them
in your younger days at home, so
that when you grow older they will
think you are about right, just as
you thought in your boyhood days
that they were the embodiment Of
perfection. 4
Another admonitionI was not to
neglect the education, which the
speaker thought should be in the
line of the business or profession
which the young man intended to
follow. The speaker quoted the
| writer who said, Show me what
| you read and [ will tell you what
you are. E Mr.. Stewart added to
this, Tell me what you continue
to read and [ will tell you what
your future will be-. He advised
the taking and reading Of the local
papers, and magazines pertaining
to the work in which the young
man is engaged
A third admonition was about
habits, because the character of a
person depends upon habits. The
habits, be said. should be such
that other people can tell by his
conduct what a young man sopinlon
is on all subjects Of public interest.
| The last admonition was that the
young men should read the bible,
because it is of vital Importance in
the making of true character. The
bible should be read in times of
trouble, because in it is a remedy
for all ills OF life. In closing the
S speaker spoke of his late father,
whose life all acquaintances know
was a model one from the Christian
standpoint.
