BASKET BALL
What Our Neiehbors Think of Us.

In the last issue of the Badger State
| Banner, published at Black River
Falls, they had the following compi-
mentary notice of the recent game
held in this city:
Last Friday noon. the High school
basket ball squad left here for Grand
Rapids to play the High school team
of that city. The team was composed
of six players from each team, two
members of the faculty and the
referee. The game was called at Sis
at the Lincoln gymnasium. The
halves were put on in succession, the
girls play ing.oue half, then the boys,
and SO Un. Grand Rapids was vic
torious in both contests, the score
being: girls, Pill: boys, 1910. The
result of the game was not an entire
surprise to US for we could see our
opponents advantages. in several ways
and still the best teams won. Tie
Grand Rapids High school has a well
equipped gymnasium, 80 feet long by
40 feet wide by 80 feet high. The
playing space was little smaller.
They also had "a coach and a gym
naStic instructor, who umpired the
game. Their High school has an
enrolment of 250 pupils. They have
a city of from 5000 to 8, 1000 inhabitants
to back them financially. Their boys
team was made up of tall men who
practiced two times each day. They
worked like clock which had some
broken cogs-the cogs being the rough
play. They played rough, fast game.
The crowd was made up Of ''rooters''
in more than one sense of word. There
was great deal of coaching during
the game by spectators and their
official. Let us now look at ourselves
"a small 60X30X15 hall in the grade
building, with practice there three
nights each week, or pay price
which we can i'll afford and practice
in the opera house once each week
We have an enrolment at the High
school of 140 from which to get
players and.tinancial help and a city
of 1000 to back US financially. People,
can you see why our athletic teams
can not do more? They are working
for the town just as much as the
association,- and backing
it with money from their own pockets.
We hope to see we'll filled house
during the rest of the season.

Effective and Business Like.

| His administration has been charac-
terized by an effective, buSineSS-like
and economical organization of the
| various educational activities, coming
within his jurisdiction. There has
been great increase in the number
| of state graded schools that have been
organized out of the one department
rural schools, SO that it will be neceS-
sary for the Legislature to increase the
amount of state aid given to these
schools if each one is to receive it's
quota. In former years the lists of
books published and recommended for
school libraries have at times been
severely critiSed as being unfair and
biased. and made up in the interest
of certain companies. Moreover, a
great deal of dissatisfaction has eX-
listed with the machinery providing
for supplying the books to districts.
Mr. Cary revised the list of books on a
basis of merit, and not word of COM
plaiut has been made by any of the
leading book companies or educators
as TO the character Of the list issued
by him, and there has been no talk
with the state of unfair treatment in
this respect. During the present
year new plan was pursued in grant
ing the contract to company for
supplying the books to districts, and
the years business passed off without
a single complaint being made to the
state uperintendent, showing that
the distribution must have been
prompt and satisfactory in all parti-
cularS. The school affairs during Mr..
Cary'S term have been administered
in "a fair, independent and judicial
manner, with no privileges for any
Spe cial interests.
His Wide Experience.
Mr.. Cary has had experience in
nearly all grades and kinds of schools.
He began his career as teacher at
the age Of II, teaching in district
schools in the winter and in the sum-
mer continuing his work on the farm.
Later he entered the Ohio Central
Normal school and was graduated
from that institution in 1879. For
decade after this he was principal of
graded schools ia Ohio and later went
to engage in teaching in Kansas.
Here he served as county examiner
of teachers Institutes. In 1886 he
was elected county superintendent of
schools in Brown county, Kansas, and
after some years of experience in this
office, he declined denomination and

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Butte, Mont, July S.--Miss Mamie Brown, an
eighteen-year-o colored domestic girl, while

AL Stevens and Miss Brown, who received an
equal share. Two shafts have been sunk thirty
feet, revealing two large gold leads in which the
free gold can be easily seen. About $4,000
worth of rock is in sight already and excitement
runs high over the discovery.

GIRL INTERRUPTED
HER OWN FUNERAL
journal Special Service.

Talhequah, I. T., Dec. 2S.-On
Christmas eve Carrie Moss was sup
posed to have been frightened to death
by the explosion of torpedoes in the
hands Of her elder brothers. There, was
every evidence Of death and the physi-
clans could find no pulse or heart beats.
The Moss family are very poor. After
the unfortunate supposed death, a, col
lection was taken up for the purchase
of coffin and shroud. The body was
prepared for burial. The girl had many
friends and from far and near they
came to pay their last sad respects at
the funeral, which was set for yester-
day.
The mourners were gathered about
the bier, the preacher had paid his trib-
ute, the village choir had sung Jesus,
Lover of MY, Soul, - the undertaken vas wa
in the act Of screwing down the coffin
LID, when, to the amazement of all, Car
RE sat bolt upright. She was welcomed
back as one from the dead. Questions
were eagerly asked, but she could re-
call no events since her sudden shock
from the torpedoes. ..-
