CIeve Turner Gets Severe Shock
and Breaks a rib.

Cleve, the l3-year-old son Of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Turner, met with
quite a bad accident yesterday after
noon, getting severe electric shock
while in a tree and falling to the
ground, sustaining a broken rib and
possibly internal injuries.
The boy climbed the tree after a
young sprout to make whistle and
grasped light wire from which
the insulation had been rubbed
by the swaying branches. He
yelled and was told to let loose of the
wire, but he said he couldn't. He
finally laid back in the tree specifies
and as help was going to him fell tc
the ground. In the fall he landed on
his back, breaking rib. To all APP
pearances he was dead, but later
came around alright. A physician
was called and at last accounts he was
getting along fairly well. The boys
hands are severely burned.

The speaker regretted to learn of

THAT SCHOOL BOARD BUY.

The Journal Is nothing II not half

puted defense Of the Board OF Educa-

property, says our defense is from IA
desire TO screen political friends"
tells US we argue that the Ritter
property will afford room for next
year." and continues its frenzy until
it is exhausted.
THE REPUBLICAN has never at any
time argued for or against the pur-
chase of that property, and begs the
Journal to quote. This paper did
give voice to some public sentiment
against it, and asked the Board 10 in
vestgate carefully, but gave no opin-
ion of its own because 1t was not
sufficiently familiar with the situation
TO express an intelligent opinion.
After the property was bought THE
REPUBLICAN did not criticise nor did
ii defend the Boards action. 1t did
give the explanation Of that purchase
as offered by two members Of the
Board.
The Journal is worse than foolish In
writing of the political phase of this
matter, The purchase Of that prop
erty was urged more strongly by Wes-
ley Jacques, Democratic member Of
the board, than any other, and while
Mr.. Thatcher rather doubted the ad-
visibility OF that purchase, he did not
doubt 1t sufficiently TO vote against it.
The minutes show that the Boards
action was unanimous-tw Democrats
and two Republicans voting for it.
The other member, w. w. McLaugh-
lin who is a republican and away from
the city, wrote THE REPUBLICAN
that he was not wholly in favor OF IL.
Why did the Journal try TO bring pol
itics into this? AS to PROVE ding the
necessary room for the coming year,
The REPUBLICAN did not say the

A member of the Board said three new
rooms would supply the need, and we
quoted him. The gentleman did not
mention the Ritter property in this
but said that two more rooms
could and would be opened in the
Woodruff. Further than this we dc
not know. The Ritter property has
been bought, so further discussion
of that is irrelavent. AS TO where the
big new central building should BE-
placed, THE REPUBLICAN is not pre-
pared TO state, and as IL will be al
least year or two before IL is built
discussion OF that matter at this time
would be almost as irrelevant as the
other. However, any views Supt. Jen

Last Monday night the tin wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Crockett was
celebrated in great style. About forty
of their relatives and friends met,
loaded with presents suitable for the
occasion, and it is believed now that
Mrs. Crockett will never need any adj
ditions to her present supply OF kitch-
en- ware. Their delightful home on
Crockett avenue was lighted and dec
Grated in a most elegant style, and a
superb luncheon was prepared, with

present expressed themselves as hav-

of their lives.

The A. C. of u. and b. Y. G. ath-
letes met on the latter's grounds last
Saturday afternoon and in their strug-
gle for supremacy made things very
interesting for the rather large crowd
present. Most Of the events were
closely contested and no little enthusl-

The b. Y. @. boys have been with
out a coach this year, but put up a
great fight against Campbell's men,
the latter winning out by the narrow
margin OF So to 40. The b. Y. boys

event to have tied their opponents.
The greater intrest was in the races.

c., won in 10 l-5 seconds. Frew is a
big fellow, a new man in athletes
and great things are expected Of him

The Witness Got Even.

John Philpot Curran, the eminent
Irish barristcr and orator, once met
his match in Jolly and sharp wittcd
fellow collntryman, who acted as a
hostlcr at a large stable and who was
TIP as witness in case OF horse
buying dispute.
Curran much desired to break down
the crcdibilty Of this witness and
thought to do it by making the man
contradict himself by tangling him up
in network OF adroitly framed ques-
tions, but all to no avail. The hostlcr
was a companion to Sam Weller. His
good common sense and his cquanim-
ity and good nature were not to be
overturned.
BY and by Curran in towering wrath
bclchcd forth, as not another counsel
would have dared to do in the pres
encc of the court:
"Sirrah, you are incorrigible. The
truth is not to be got from you, as it
is not in you. l see the villain in

The Bombay Catholic Examiner is
edited by Jesuit Fathers. In a recent
issue it discussed the subject Of THE
Nine Fridays, The Twelfth Promise
and Supcrstition:'
There appears to be a reasonable
ground for believing that our Lord
did i'll some way institute the practice
OF nine Fridays. i'll private communi-
cation to Blessed Margaret Mary, but
we can hardly claim to be scientifically
certain about it, either in itself or as
to the exact terms in which it was de-
livercd. Still, the practice OF regular
monthly communion is in itself an ex-
cellent one, calculated to promote or
secure the effects contained in the
Twelfth Promise; so that the dcvo-
ton rests on a sound basis quite apart
from the authenticity OF the Promise.
Because it rests on this solid iounda-
tion. the nine Fridays cannot be dub
bed supcrsti,ious.' unless anyone likes
to turn it into superstition by his

be turned into superstition. for cx-

making the nine Fridays his final per-
severance was a settled fact, no matter

Japan had affirmed, over and over
again that she went into the war solely
to preserve the integrity Of China and
to safeguard her existence as a ma
ton, both of which were threatened by
the expansion OF Russia in the far east
Upon those issues she fought the war
and gained, besides, the sympathy Of
nearly all the world. But having won
all, and more than all she could have
hoped for at the beginning, she over
stepped the limit and claimed an cx-
tortionatc indemnity besides other i'm
portant items as the price of peace.
