High School Notes.

Baseball practice until the rain
was very good this week and al
though the team could stand good
deal more practice, the boys hope
to make up for this loss by playing
a good game Saturday against
Fennimore High School. In this
game Kolb will probably start the
pitching but will change off with
Ivey in the box and right field. The
rest of the line up will be the same
as in the work this far. The work
this week was helped a great deal
by the loan of mask by "Doc''
Rhodes. AS nothing had been
heard of the High School mask,
DOC" very kindly offered the use
of one and this gave Eustace
the chance to get in some good
practice. It is the hope of the
High School boys that good crowd
will turn out Saturday and make it
possible to pay expenses,
Warren Galbach 'O3 visited school
Thursday afternoon. Warren is
spending his Easter vacation with
his parents in this city.
Ted Lowry O5 finished writing his
examinations Thursday noon. Ted
will probably have about two weeks
to wait before he will be able to
find out the result of the examina-
tions. Physical examination will
follow the announcement of the re-
suit of the mental examination.
The Seniors have not agreed on a
commencement program yet.
The Seniors are wondering
whether or not there will be a
Junior reception this year.
Don't fail to attend the baseball
game Saturday.
The Physics class visited the
electric light plant Friday evening
and investigated the actual opera
ton of the electric machines which
they have been studying.

ECCENTRIC WILLS.
Benjamin. Frnnklin Left Small Sum
Which Is Now Available.


Which Is Now Available.
When Benjamin Franklin died, in
1890, he left small sum of money.
which was not to be used until the
twentieth century. His gift is at last
available, and the sum now amounts
to $S75,000, having been invested at
compound interest, says the Pittsburs
Press. The trustees of the Franklin
fund have decided to use the money
for the erection of a Franklin insti-
tute in Franklin square, Boston. Curl
Gus provisions made by will are more
common than one would suppose.
Within the last few months, there have
been several examples of eccentric dis
posals of property. To one young
woman has been left $4,000 by her
brother under the express condition
that she neither marries nor becomes
a nun. If the conditions are not full
filled, the money is to be distributed
among other relatives. To his three
daughters an Italian who recently died
left $500 a year each If they remained
single and $1,000 each a year If they
married. A late member Of the En-
glish parliament left by will to his two
daughters $4,000. with the provision
that the money is only to be payable II
they attain the age Of 35 years, without
marrying either citizen Of the
United States or a Hebrew.

portant discovery that Sakhalin was
an island, separated from the CONT

forth this water vas known as "Mami-

Foreign nations, however, had no

middle of the nineteenth century SAX
halin was supposed to be part of the
mainland. Nevolsloy discovered the
error in 1S4S. and thenceforth the
strait was called the Strait of Tartary
on Russian maps. But as in Mamiya's
case, so also in Nevolskoy's, outsiders
remained ignorant until the extraor-
binary incident of the Elliott expedi-
ton in 1855.
Sir Charles Elliott, with three
strong ships, posted himself in the
Gulf Of Tartary, where, as he sup.
posed, his squadron blockaded a Rus.

But within a fortnight the ice broke
up in the Strait of Tartary, whose ex-

the Russians steamed away north,

Rinzo was Japanese subject, who

The public must have read with
something of a shock the other day
that Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire, has been sold to a Boston
capitalist for over 100000, observes
Judge. This is one of the choicest
bits of natural scenery in the country
ranking next to Pixies Peak in point
of scenic celebrity. Coming so close
after the taking over of Niagara falls
by a commercial company, the pur-
chase of this central figure of the
American Alps is Well calculated to
excite public alarm. These big out
door landmarks hitherto have been
regarded as a kind of continental as
set belonging to the people at large
and travellers felt at liberty to boast
of them. and did so out of the pride
of fractional possession, as it were.

Belief That Sugar Confers Strength

Time was when we should never
have dreamed of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
it would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And,
what is more. we are not merely con.
tent to eat sweetmeats at our meals,
but we consume them at all times and
in all places between meals. 1t was
recently said that boxes of bonbons
play a conspicuous part in modern
lovemaking, Sweet to the sweet" be-
ing apparently the text by which ev-
cry young man of the day guides him
self through the devious paths of
courtship.
The great Russian wrestler who Is
shortly to enter again into contest
with the Turk, Madrali, tells US that
the more sweet stuff one eats the
stronger one grows. Sugar is the
secret of strength, he declares.

Great Russian Wrestler Saws tho
More Sweet Stuff One Eats
tho Stronger He Will Grow
Seems to Be True.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and
strength of the modern maiden, who
has most certainly grown uncommon
ly tall and proportionately muscular
during the past few years. 1t cannot
be that outdoor sports, gymnastic ex-
ercises and so on, have stretched her
out and made her as strong as she is,
because her brothers have had pre-
cisely the same advantages, and they
have not developed at the same rate.
1t seems to me, therefore, that the Sc
cret lies in the fact that of recent
years girls have become far greater
consumers of sweetmeats than ever
were their mothers and grandmothers.

Of course, no one can surmlse what these laws may provide, only we believe one is safe in inferring that the terms under which water rights may then be secured will be far less favorable than those secured under present conditions, provided the diversion works and deIlV- cry system of tie California Develop ment O. be completed.

President Roosevelt Appoints Special
 Commission

President Roosevelt bsas appointed special commissoN to deal Wlth three important questions which have arisen relative to the diversion and interference with the course Of international rlvers. This commission consists of Judge Pen field, solicitor for the state 5epartm eMt; Special Assjstant Attorney General M. c. Bureh and Prof. F. H. Newell of the geol ogical survey, and has just held It's first meeting.
 All the questions before the commission have formed the subject of extensive correspondence between the state de- partment and Mexico On the south and the Dominion of Canaday as represented by Great Britain on tue north. On the south there is that long standing eoil- troversy growing out of the damlnlng of the Rio Grande and the use 0f tlre waters of the upper river for irrigation purposes in American territory to the iniurv of the Mexican farmers OD the right bank of the river. The Mexicans claim that the Rio Grande IS navlgable and consequently that this diversion of the water is in violation of international law.
 To the westward the commission is to deal with the Colorado river, where the upper waters in American territory also are about to be diverted, to the loss of the Mexican ranchers in Lower California.
 On the north the Milk river projects in Montana have alarmed the Canadi- ans. Arising in the United States. this river flows into Canada and back again into Montana. The Canadians have been making large use of the waters on their side, which has led to a project by the people of Montana to cut out the intire bend in the river on the Canadian side by canal the effect of which would be completely to deprive the Canadians of water. The cOmmis- sion will have to deal with some new questions of international law relative to riparian rights.-Express.
