OuF irienuS, the honorable body o

Hamilton basketball team came owe,
to try the Pembina girls on Wednesda,
evening and nice game was played at
ter supper at the ball park. The Hamil
ton team was completely outclassed b,
the Pembina team from the beginning tc
the end of the game and were nearly all
the time on the defensive. the ball onl,
occasionally visiting the Hamilton bask

team work was excellent and they play

had three practice games this spring. The
Hamilton team is made up of good ma
terial. but they are new at the work and
it will take few matches with outside
teams to get them into the game. The
attendance was fair and the score 80 to 4
The game was pleasantly free from any
pickering.
The widow Of Charles Brown who
died few months ago, was married to
Frank Hall couple of weeks ago at
Emerson. By way Of celebrating the
honeymoon the bride made complaint to
justice Aylen against her husband alleg-
ing assault and battery. The case was
thrown out of court on trial as not
proven, or perhaps if proven thatit was
deserved, at any rate Hall was let go and
Just to keep the family before the public
the husband made complaint against
the wife for adultery. and now Mrs,
Brown that was and Mrs. Hall that is
thinks it a shame she is should locked
up in the county Jail for want of bail of
$500, and her husband allowed to go
free. There is little girl at the house
that calls the woman mother, that should
be taken to some family that would bring
her up properly. Otherwise it would
be an excellent thing if some means
could be devised to induce the woman in
the case to skip the country.
A band of gipsies came to town via
the N, P. on Friday. They got some
whisky from ST. Vincent and made some
disturbance among themselves that night
and some OF the town and railroad boys
thought it good idea to assist them

out further criticism 1t Is enough to say
thatIearly Monday morning Mayor CHS
holm invited them to pile their tents and
luggage on the dray he had waiting and
take themselves to the train and proceed
on their way to Chicago, where they said
they were going. They had plenty Of
money and exhibited it at the customs
office to show that they were not vag-
ants, when' as q matter of fact, notwlth.
sta nding their money, they are nothing
else. They Went to begging almost as
soon as they struck the town. 1t seems
to us there IS something the matter with
immigration laws that allow such people
to pass the boundary line and refuse ad
mission to some other people that we
have heard oflately.

HOLD A MASS MEETING
TO PLACE ATHLETICS ON A FIRM BASIS
Male Students OF Howe and West Side Hioh
Schools adopt Good Constitution
Plan for Athletic Contests

Superintendent II. S. Youker issued
a call on Monday for joint meeting
of the male students of the Howe and
West Side high Schools. The purpose
Of the gathering was to organize an
| association and to adopt the necessary
| rules under which it was to be gov
erned. The meeting was called to
order at 4:3O O'Clock in the assembly
room of the Howe High school. Brief
addresses were given by members Of
the faculty, after which constitution
was submitted aud, with few altera-
tionS, unanimously adopted
The constitution contains number
of very good rules, which, if adhered
to, are bound to place the athletics of
the Grand Rapids schools upon d
higher and tirmer plane than hereto
fore enjoyed. Some especially note
worthy features are those placing the
office of president and manager in the
hands of the superintendent and call
ing for a representative of the school
board to act upon the athletic council.
These provisions will at once tend to
bring about the much needed cooper
alton of the parents and business men
with the association
The officers of the Grand Rapids
High School Athletic Association are
aS follows:
President, oupt H. S. Youker: Vice
President, Prof. W. l.. Oswald: Treas
urer, Frank Natwick: Secretary, Clay
LambertOn; Member OF council chosen
by the School Commissioners, I. P.
Witter.
An interesting fact is that this is
the first time, since Grand Rapids and
Centralia united, that the two high
schools have joined in organizing a
common society. 1t is to be hoped
that the enthusiasm shown by the two
student bodies at this meeting will
continue when they unite next year

A FINE BUILDING.
New Lincoln High School Rapidly Nearing
camnleiian

Hardly any OF our citizens appreci
ate the magnitude of the new high
school building that is being erected
upon the bluff that OverloOkS the city.
1t is we'll planned building and we
understand from the best authority
that better planned or equipped
building for every purpose is not in
existence in this or any other state.
There are larger and more costly build
ings, but none better planned or
equipped. The extreme dimensions
are oOX132 feet three stories and base
ment. The construction is of stone
and pressed brick with Superior red
sand stone trimmings. The architect
ural appearance and construction is
tirst-claSS in every respect. The
audience or assembly room is 78XSO
feet, capable OF seating 400 people in
single seats and by placing chairs in
the isle will seat comfortably 100 peo-
pie. The heating apparatus is placed
but not yet wholly connected.
The lathlng is partly done and the
third or upper floor is now being
plasteIed The building has been
wired for electric light, telephone and
electric bell service throughout the
building. The school board, and eS-
pecially the building and grounds
committee, are entitled to great credit
for the excellent judgement they have
shown in selecting the site for such a
building, the almost perfect plans
that were adopted and the perfect
construction OF every minute part
Every contractor from the architect
down appear to give the best of their
talent and material in making the
entire building what it ought to be-,
Ideal in every respect. 1t is ex-
pected that the building will be
completed the fore part of June and
when it is, the commencement eXer-
ciSeS should be held there and every
tax payer should attend and examine
the building from basement to attic
and we know that you will all be
proud of gour Lincoln school building.

Times as follows:
Alfred Davis was born at st. George,
New Brunswick, December %, 1928.
He died in Murray, Iowa, March ?,
1908. Elizabeth Young was born in
st. George. New Brunswick. She
died in Murray. Iowa, February

survive their parents, Hubert, of
Malvern, Iowa; Geo. W., of Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin,; Dan. of Pacific
junction. Iowa; Charlotte Hester
Aller, of Murray, Iowa: and Hiram
o.. OF Ottumwa, Iowa. In 1865 or sc
they removed to Wisconsin and in
1869 they came to Murray, Iowa,
where they made their home until
they died. Very early in life they
gave their hearts to Christ and united
with the Baptist church. They have
always lived consistent Christian lives
respected and loved by those who
knew them. They were among the
earliest settlers in Murray and have
always been associated in its life. Mrs
Davis dressed the first baby ever born
in Murray. She played on her melo

When l can trust my all with God
In trials fearful hours
Bow, all resigned beneath the rod,
And bless his sparing power;
A joy springs up amid distress
A fountain in the wilderness.

Ten thousand praises here below
And everlasting joy
Take thou my body, spirit, SOUL
Claim, and possess and Use the whole

Compliment to Senator Wipperman.

E. r. Petherick had the following
to say of Senator Fl. G. Wipperman in
the recent issue Of the Milwaukee
Journal which follows:
1t is noticeable fact that Senators
Hudnall and Wipperman, two men
occupying seats in the senate for the
first time, have made themselves
pretty solid with their brethren, with
out apparently trying any tactics be-
yond those OF being kindly gentlemen
willing to go half way to meet those
who make kindly advances toward
them. Sometimes senators get such
exaggerated IDEAS of their own im
pOrtance that they waste their first
session while losing their notion.
