THE BASKETBALL GAME

The fastest game of basketball yet
played in Grand Rapids was witnessed
last Saturday evening in the Lincoln
high school gymnasium. The con-
testing teams were representatives of
the Oshkosh State Normal and the
Grand Rapids high school. 1t was an
exciting contest from start to finish,
Although only about hundred
spectators attended because of the
cold weather and other attractions
open to the public at the same time.
the lack of plumbers was scarcely
felt on account of the enthusiasm
shown 10y those present.
The Grand Rapids team proved a
credit to themselves and the school
they represented. They forced the
Oshkosh team TO play the best pos
Slble every minute of the time and
might have scored victory but for
the superiority of Oshkosh in throw
ing baskets Grand Rapids at least
equaled, If not eXcelled the Normals
IN the other departments of the game
The high school boys have shown
great Improvement in form and speed
since their last game, but there is
still room for more Improvement.
Faithful practice will finally round
the team into form.
The Oshkosh team was made up of
gentlemen, and a fairer official than
Mr.. Joyce could not have been ob-
tanned, The normals left for Oshkosh

Decency and good order have tri-
umphed in the house of representa-
tiyes and articles have been adopted
impeaching Judge Charles Swayne of
the Northern District of Florida. There
is some slight question as to whether
the senate will hear the case this ses-'
sion but the leading lawyers IN the up
per chamber believe they should do so
and their views will probably prevail.
This will be the first impeachment
case heard by the senate since the i'm
peachment of Secretary of War Bel
knap in 1876. The decision OF the
house to impeach was noteworthy
triumph for the Democrats, Speaker
Cannon and other Republican leaders
having exerted their utmost influence
to save Swayne from trial, despite the
fact that it was unanimously admitted
that he had falsifed his expense ac-
counts and that it was generally be-
1ieyed that he had been guilty Of 9TH
er and more serious offenses.

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.
Cold Weather and Low Price Of Cotton
Has Caused Much Depression
in the South.

New Yonk, Jan. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Inclement weather has retarded dis
tributive trade, railway traffic and
some forms Of production throughout
a wide area. The result is some ir-
regularity in the reports from different
sections. The northwest sends rela-
lively the best reports in advices that
spring business is in excess Of year
ago, and it is to be noted that the
southwest shows an improvement over
recent rather depressed conditions.
The cold weather, however, has accen-
tuated the duuness at the south,
growing out of lower cotton prices
and brought business and collections
down to a low ebb as compared with
the exceedingly prosperous conditions
ruling a year ago at this time.
Industry still leads distribution in
activity. The volume of new buying
in iron is light, but specifications are
coming out freely and current produc-
ton is above the maximum. Seasonal
influences affect sales of lumber, but
that industry is in very strong posi-
ton in the northwest.
The southern lumber and naval
stores industry shows general improve
ment, and even in the Pacific north
west there are signs Of reaction. In dis
tributive trade the backwardness OF
cotton goods is still feature. but signs
of improvement are seen here. Busi-
ness failures for the week ending Jan.
