The senior class contains l3 members,

The high school basket ball team re-
Gently organized opened the season by
a game with the Brookville team on
the floor of the latter last Friday even
ing. The contest was an exceedingly
fast and exciting one. From the
moment the referees whistle was blown
and the ball tossed up between the OPP
posing centers, the play was of whirl-
wind variety and elected frequent ap-
plause and cheers from the large crowd
of spectators present. In passing and
in cleverness in securing the ball the
home boys were fully the equal of their
opponents, but the superior goal throw
ing of Prof Downs put the majority of
the tallies on the wrong side Of the
score board for Reynoldsville. The
game ended q to l5 in favor of Brook
vile. The score during the second half
was s to 6, which shows how closely the
two teams were matched. The Brook
vile boys are veterans in the sport,
while our team had never before played
game. This bespeaks much for our
high school athletes. Preliminary to
the scheduled contest very interesting
game between girl teams from the
Brookville schools was played. Basket
ball is entirely new to our boys but they
proved themselves material for a win
ming team. Return game will be played
the latter part of next week.

On Wednesday evening of last week
the first number of the lecture course

pleasing to all. The large attendance
was especially gratifying to the high

MODERATE AND RATIONAL
BaIfour's Characterization Of British
Aliens Bill.

London, July 20.-In the house OF
commons. yesterday the aliens bill
passed it's third reading by a major
ity of 80.
Premier Balfour, in winding up the
debate on the bill, contended that the
proposed restrictions were less severe
than those imposed by any other ma
ton. He referred to the American inn
migration laws and asked whether
anyone would assert that the Ameri-
cans were Indifferent to freedom or
looked with unmoved eyes on the suf-
fering and the oppressed, yet THEN,
restrictions as we'll as the restrictions
imposed by the British colonies We're.
he said. more severe than those i'm
posed by this moderate and ration
al" bill
1.-THE aliens bill is much on the lines
of a measure introduced in the house
of commons last year which was
dropped by the government, owing to
distractions 1t prohibits immigrants
from landing except at ports WHERE
an immigration officer is stationed and
only with his consent and after med
zeal inspection. Many other provis-
ions are named to prevent the Landing
Of undesirable inmigraatsl

WILL OBEY NEW RATE LAW.
Wisconsin Railroad Companies Show
Disposition Strictly to Comply With

Madison, Wis, July 2O.--That the
railroad companies are disposed to CO.
operate with the new railroad rate
commission In the enforcement of the
law passed by the last legislature is
shown by the manner in which all the
companies have taken steps to inform
their employs of the provisions of the
law. q
Railroad Commissioner Thomas and
the newly organized rate commission
are receiving daily books printed and
sent out by the several companies con-
tanning the new law, together with ex-
plicit. orders that 1t is the duty of the
employees to which these books are sent
to carefully study the law and famil-
iarize themselves with it's provisions
and to see to it that all the provisions
of the law are strictly enforced.
These books are sent to all such en-
ployes as are most connected with the
work affected by the law. such as gem
era and local agents for the freight
and passenger business, depot officials
and clerks and assistants engaged in
the handling of freight. The preface
to the law is the order from the head
officials of the road that the law must
be strictly enforced to the letter of its
provisions.
Another incident which tends to the
same showing was the visit OF the
leading officers of the wisconsin Cent
raj road to the rate commission Mon
day afternoon. They came to call and
meet the members of the commission
informally, ask few questions re-
garding certain provisions of the law
concerning the proper construction OF
which the legal department of the road
was in doubt. 1t was desired to OBJ
tain from the commission some sug-
gestion on these points which should
assist the attorneys of the road to de-
termine how to construe the law, so as
to avoid possible difference with the
view of the commission, in case these
points figured in a possible con,rover-
sy which the commission would have
to hear and decide.
Just what these matters were was
not given out, but it was learned that
particular information was sought re-
garding the issuing of free transporta-
ton to certain employees who hold pos
itions in which only a part of their
time is occupied with railroad duties,
such as local railroad physicians and
attorneys.
La Toilette People Skepticai.
The visitors repeatedly assured the
commissioners of their determination
to follow the new law carefully and
not in any way evade or resist it. This
fact has caused some La Toilette peo-
pie to suggest that the purpose of the
visit of the officials was to Jolly" the
commissioners and that each road
would send a similar good fellow"
party to Madison. The impression ap-
parently made upon the commissioners
however, is that the officials Of the
road are honest and sincere in their
determination to work in harmony
with the state in the execution of the
expressed will of the legislature.

Prices Ruled Weak Today, and
In Some Cases Were 10
Cents Lower
COWS AND HEIFERs WANTED
stockers and Feeders Were Slow and
Exporters Were Best Purchasers
Heavy Receipts Of Hogs Caused
Decrease of 10 Cents in tho Prices
Today.

Chicago. July ,20.-Cattle trade was
very slow, prices frequently ruling
weak and in some cases 10 lower. Cows
and heifers were in fair demand at cur
rent prices. Stockers and feeders are
slow. Exporters purchased largely at
$5.OO@5.25.
Buyers claimed they could have held
out Of the trade nicely Wednesday,
so heavy are their stocks. and one or
two of the local houses assert that they
are still holding steers bought on Mon
day for slaughter here today. These
conditions indicate the present state
of affairs in the beef trade, and are a
good barometer Of the market for
steers. Too much beef is already in
coolers. and the receipts in late days
have been above demands.
Had Wednesdays supply fulfilled eX-
pectations, there would undoubtedly
have been a badly congested market,
and while no material Improvement
was noted in the trade under small
receipts, sellers considered themselves
fortunate in not having been forced to
concede declines.
Exporters operated very cautiously,
and the shippers were also indifferent
buyers. though the latter were best bid
ders for handy weights in the early
hours.
Hogs.
With estimated receipts of $4,000 and
4,7OO left over last night, Wednesdays
advance was lost, hogs selling $525@
$50, for rough heavy packers, to
$6.O71s for prime lots. Sales We're
largely at $5.75@5.95.
Hot weather is causing light ships
ping under torrid conditions inviting
loss. Hog growers are also too busy
taking advantage Of present favorable
weather in oat and hay fields to waste
valuable time shipping hogs. Packing
trade is mean. Local slaughterers act
as If they do not want hogs and posi-
lively refuse to follow the early lO cent
advance which was largely in the ma
ture of furry. Quality looked pretty
good yesterday.
Sheep.
Sheep sold readily at steady prices,
while lambs were slow at weak prices.

Little Rock, Ark, July 2O.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner F. M. Cock
rell yesterday gave hearing to COM
plants originated in this state. The
first matter taken up was the petition
of the railroad commission of Arkan-
sas to compel the St. Louis and North
Arkansas railroad to reduce its pass
enger fare of 2-3 cents per mile on
it's line from Seligman, Ark, to Beaver,
Ark, to cents per mile. After a dis
cussion between counsel it was order
ed that the evidence and briefs be filed
with the commission in Washington
on or before November 5 next.

shippers from northwest Arkansas and

and will appear before Commissioner
Cockrell today to be heard on COM
plants as to refrigeration and rates en-:
tered by them.

MORTON FIRES JoRooN.
Controller Of the Equitable Loses His
.loh

Job.
New York, July 20.-Thomas d. Jor-
dan, controller of the Equitable Assur-
ance Society, was summarily remov-
ed from office yesterday by Chairman
Paul Morton because he refused to fur
nish information regarding that $685.
600 blind loan standing against the
Equitable Society on the books of the
Mercantile Trust Company.
The loan stood in the name of Jor-
dan and James w. Alexander as trus-
tees until a few days ago, when the
state authorities ordered that 1t be
taken up by the society
Jordan is to be succeeded, temper
arily at least, by William A. Day. who
was the auditor of the United States
treasury for four years when Grover
Cleveland was president, and who at
present Is assistant attorney general
OF the United States.
Chairman Morton, 1t is understood,
let Jordan know more than week ago
that he desired statement in detail
concerning this loan, for which the
Equitable society for several years had
been paying interest at the rate of 4
per cent. when it actually had on de-
poslt in the trust company large
amount of money for which it was re-
ceiving only 2 per cent.
After Chairman Morton made his
demand on the controller for informa-
ton, Mr.. Jordan, it is said, failed to
show up at the Equitable building for
three days, although Mr.. Morton was
looking for him all the time. When he
did return Chairman Morton, it is said,
failed in his efforts to get an inter-
view with him for several days. Fin
ally when he did meet Jordan the lat
ter refused to give the desired infor-
nation.
Mr.. Jordan has been in the service
Of the Equitable for many years. He
was controller almost ten years. He
was receiving a salary of $4,000 a
year He was one of the few directors
of the old board who qualified thru
the actual ownership of five shares Of
the society's stock. He was mem
Der of the executive committee of the
board of directors sbut undoubtedly
will lose his place on that committee.
il he remains in the directorate, which
is thought unlikely.
Here is the LOTIHdl dHIiouHceIHcHl
which Chairman Morton made In re-
gard to the removal:
"T. D. Jordan has been removed as
controller of the Equitable Life As
surance Society and William A. Day.
at present assistant attorney general.
of the United States, appointed acting
controller The reason for Mr.. Jordans
removal was his refusal to furnish ME
information regarding important trans
actions of the society which 1 am in
vestigating."
Mr.. Jordan left his office in the
Equitable building soon after he was
notified of his removal, refusing to say
anything for publication.
Will Sue Directors.
Attorney General Mayer is going to
bring suit against every member of the.
Eauitable's old board of directors to-
compel an accounting of their manage
ment of the society's funds. That was
learned from man close to the at
torney general Every one of the for
ty-nine directors, including those who
resigned, will be made defendants in
the action by the state, and probably
will take the stand to testify.
