"Sinuin SkuIe" Friday Night.

Closer acquaintance with the Sing
in Skule Beginment," which comes to
the Gennett under the auspices Of the
Ladies' Aid society of the Christian
church Friday night, Oct. f. shows it
to be every bit as funny as it has been
claimed it is. An exchange, speaking
of the entertainment says: AS laugh
provoker, the "Singin Skule Begin
ment'' has few equals and it does not
consist, as many might think, entirely
of singing, but the 'Beginment'' is pre-
sumably the closing exercises of an old
fashioned country singin skule. the
audience being the congregation Of
friends and relatives of the ''skollars'
who are about to be finished. All are
clad in quaint costumes of almost ev-
cry decade from the present back to
the dark ages and it is easy to recog-
nize all of the familiar characters of
every little country village of fifty
years ago-the "cut up'-the bashful
girl the over grown fiddler. with his
home made instrument who persists in
playing every time it is announced that
something extraordinary is about to
occur. the daughter of the wealthiest
man in town-the village literary light
the spinsters-the twins-the Ounce
of the skule. and others represented by
leading local people. Mrs. Willard as
sumes the part of 'Mistus Jeremire
Robbins" and Mr.. Willard the part of
"Jeremire," the teacher. There is a
laugh at the start, laugh at the fin
ish and prolonged laugh all the way
through. The ladies in charge think
from the talk that is going the rounds
that the theatre will have to be enlarg-
ed in order to accommodate the crowd
that will assemble to witness the an
| tics of the "Robkins Singh Skule."

ordinary observer this arrangement OF

more impression than the idea that
some one had been amusing himself by
playing with these buffalo skulls. To
the Indian the arrangement was a
complete story.

we were to meet again at a specified
place and all go back to the village to-

had been there and had gone on to the
village without waiting for us to come
up. When l expressed surprise l was
shown a long stick standing in the
trail with bunch of grass fastened tC

the village, and this told the story OF

had written a letter about it, l founC

1t now looks doubtful if Jimmy Walsh
and Frankie Neil will meet at Tonapah,
New, to battle for the bantam weight
championship. Neil telegraphed Walsh
at Los Angeles he would meet him, but
that the weight must be 122 ringside,
and the purse split 65 and 30. By this
telegram Neil practically admits that he
is no longer a bantam. Walsh says he
will claim the bantam championship.
Roy Moore, the Minneapolis light

quite rapidly of late and he promises to
be i'll the limeiight if given a chance with
some of the good boys at 40 or 133

SPOONER STANDS
FOR TARIFF CUT.
Wisconsin's Senior Senator Urges Re'
vision of Present Schedule
Before Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 12-Sen-
utor Spooner caused lively surprise III
the Senate late yesterday in the course
of q debate with Senator Aldrich on the
army bill, in which he announced that
many of the present tariff schedules
were so high as to prove detrimental in
stead of beneficial to the country.
This statement came as a reply to a
question from the Rhode Island sena tor
in which he challenged Mr.. Spooner' s
loyalty to the principle of protection to
American interests.
The significance given TO Senator
SpOOners declarations is that he is get
ting into line with the prevailing sentl-
TO going before the voters in the pri-
maries for the senatorial nomination.
Opinion Not New One.
Il am as good a protectionist as the
senator from Rhode Island" declared
Mr.. SDooner. although | have thought
for some years that the tariff ought to
be revised.
1--WE have had a policy for great
many years to protect American indus
tries by the levying of adequate duties.
| have been in favor of that policy. |
have always supported it. | am in favor
of it now although l think a great many
of the duties are excessive. and therefore
detrimental because of their excessive
ness"
Expect Reelection Race.
While the emphatic manner in which
Senator SpoOner came out for revision
startled some of his old friends in the
Senate, it also pleased them, as it indi-
Gates that he will make a canvass for
denomination before the people of Wis
COnSin.
For some time it has been feared that
he would not make a canvass for the
senatorship, and inasmuch as the La
Toilette wing of the Republican party of
Wisconsin is determined to oppose him,
such 4 canvass will be necessary to as
sure his return to the Senate, it is be-
lieyed
Government and Rate Bill.
The Senate passed the army appro-
priation BILL carrying $S1 100000, and
IN debate which preceded the killing
of the amendment permitting the gov
eminent to accept reduced rates on army
supplies and officers and men at reduced
transportation rates. Senator Spooner
took the position that the government
was not bound by the rate bill and if
it was so contended the present amend
ment ought to be accepted to clear away
any doubt on the point.
Senator Beverage took issue with Mr..
Spooner in a statement that there was
no United States commerce.. Mr. BeV-
eridge argued that there was COM
merce of the people" which was not Il
state commerce and which in all essen
tails was national in character

ATHLETICS.

S. c. Northridge of the Irish-American
A. c., tied the American record in the
meet of the Pastime Athletic club at
New York Saturday night by winning
his heat i'll the sixty-yard high hurdle
event in O:OS 10. A. A. Jordan formerly
held the mark. J. B. Taylor, the colored
runner of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, won the principal event, a specia |
race at 600 yards. Taylor competed with
three of the fastest men in the country
and at the finish had lead of only six
inches over Harry Hillman, Jr., of the
New York Athletic club The time
equaled the indoor record held by e. B.
Parsons.

The athletic authorities at Ripon col
lege have received advices from Apple
ton that the Lawrence university track
team is not willing to enter in the spring
games with Beloit and Kipon colleges.
Last years triangular meet was the first

success. Beloit winning over Ripon by
close margin. 1t is understood that
Lawrence would take on Ripon for a

be arranged so that the contest will oc
cur as in the past.
The subject of longevity among ath-
letes and other college students has been
investigated seriously by William q.
Anderson director of the Yale gymnasi-
um, and he has come to the conclusion
that the advantage is with the athletes.
But whether this is due to the mans
original strength or to his development
as an athlete, he says, there is nothing to
prove, although the athlete has all the
preference and he believes that athletics
