have decided to accept the challenge and
the subject "Rcsolved. That the Initia-
tive and Referendum Is the Best Form of
Legislation for Maine" The juniors first
objected to the subject, although at all
times they have been perfectly willing to
debate with the seniors. The exact date
of the debate has not yet been decided
1t will take place in about two weeks at
the Johnson Opera house. This will be
the first public contest of its kind ever
given by High school students in this city
and since it is very commendable thing
the generous support Of the public is con-
fidently expected.
A baseball meeting was held yesterday
and the coming events of the diamond
we're discussed at length Principal Pow
ers told the boys that before doing any
thing else except practicing they should
raise $50 toward paying the expenses OF
the season. At the start considerable
money will probably have to be expended
for gloves, bats, balls and innumerable
other things. There is plenty of good ma
terial for a team and d long schedule will!
undoubtedly be carried successfully to n
finish. Th, raising of $50 Is not looked
upon as a hard task. The proceeds Of
the senior-junior debate will be for the
benefit of the team and at least 500 is
expected from this source.
At a meeting of the freshmen yester-
day Fred Dolloff was elected president of
the class. Because time was lacking no
other business was transacted.

A TERRIBLE WEEK
Passed by Man in Barn
at Portsmouth, n. 4.
Sought Shelter From Storm and
Unable to Proceed.
Without fesd or Water fa Week aaa
Now in Serious State.

Portsmouth, N. H., March 27.-After
lying helpless in barn on the out
skirts of this city since week ago
Monday, from the effects of exposure to
last weeks blizzard, a man giving his
name as George Reynolds of Hemp
Sted was found by a party Of men in a
roadway near the estate of the late
Frank Jones today The mans condt-
tion was pitiable. According to his
story he had been without food or wat
er for week. His tongue was badly
swollen, his lips parched and cracking
thC Re s scarcely aple to gulp down
a little water.
ReAhU claimed that Monday Of
last week he started to walk from Ex-
eter to this city to secure work. The
blizzard broke before he reached the
city. but as he thought he had $50 In 1fs
pocket when he left Exeter, he kept on
his way, intending to put up at a hotel
here. When he arrived, however, he
discovered that his money was missing.
Too proud to go to the police station
for shelter he trudged airnlessly about
town until he became chilled and ex-
hausted from exposure. Thinking he
might find shelter in barn on the
outskirts of the city, he took the road
leading to the farm of the late Frank
Jones and entered an unoccupied barn.
BY this time his feet were so badly
swollen he had to cut off his boots.
The next day, according to Reynolds
story, he was so stiff and sore he
could scarcely move and his feet were
so swollen he could not bear any
weight on them. For a whole week he
lay there in partial stupor.
Today he aroused himself sufficient
ly to crawl with much pain out of the
barn to the road. He tainted just out
side the door and there was found this
morning by two men. The doctors say
the mans condition is serious.

People were recently somewhat per-
picked to see Hon. Orville d. Baker Of

All yesterday boys came to the
police station, deposited keys, and
nervously walked away. The keys are
the property of r. p. Hazard and were
stolen from the house that he recently
purchased from George NJ. Holmes on
Winter street. The keys were on
riEg, and after the bunch was stolen
they were divided among a gang OF
boys. The loss naturally resulted in
much annoyance to Mr.. Hazard for
without them there were about 80
doors he could not OPEN Marshal An
drews ascertained who was guilty OF
taking the keys, and how they had
been distributed. Upon being assured
that there would be no prosecution the
boys brought back nearly all that was
taken. Some are no doubt gone for
ever.

A ground" wire was the means of
repeating a false alarm Monday night
and Tuesday morning which was the
means not only Of keeping the firemen
on the lookout during the night for
possible fires during the temporary
uselessness of the alarm system, but
was also the cause of calling out several
citizens in much confusion as to wheth-
er they had been mistaken in their
counting or whether the system was
disarranged. 1t was a question of doubt
in the minds of the firemen whether the
boxes which were made useless in the
late storm had again been damaged
but investigation the following morn
frg showed that the replacing Of the
parted wire settled the difficulty.
