Basket Ball in Columbia.

The nigh school boys spent a very
pleasant day in Columbia last Saturday
awaiting the basket ball game which
was to take place in the evening. The
game proved to be poor exhibition of
basket ball and throughout was char
acterized by scrambling and scrimmage
play owing to the small size of the hall.
The low ceiling, low baskets and mar
rowness made it impossible to play a
regulation game. The space was fur
ther cramped by a hot stove at the
center Of one side. Sixty-fve points
were scored of which the Cakes boys
made thirty, result in which muscle
figured more than open team work.
Bush of Oakes and Baker of Colum-
bia were the officials.
Mention should be made of the kind
treatment received by our boys at the
home of Mr.. Hays, where they were
entertained.

Jubilee Singers.

'"The entertainment given last night
at Zion church by the Canadian Jubilee
Singers and Imperial Orchestra was
most entertaining. The OLD plantation
melodies as sung by them lose none of
their charm, which has made them so
popular. Indeed it is not often that the
people of Winnipeg can avail them
selves of the opportunity of listening
to such a high class performance as
provided by Mr.. w. I. Cary and his
company. The selections played by the
orchestra were finely executed, and
comprised the following: The Fellow
craft March, Carnival Overture, Golden
Eclas Waltz, three step Moonlinks, all
of which were greeted with unstinted
applause by an appreciative audience.
The singing was also special feature
of the entertainment. The soprano,

In 1896 the first of series of Inter-
national Athletics was held in Greece.
A vast stadium holding thousands of
people was erected. Among the cons
testing athletics were many youna
Americans, to whom was shown all
kindness from king to peasant. Afte
each contest the flag of the victoriou1
country was displayed above the arena,
and our American emblem was the first

NORMAL AT KANSAS CITY.
No Need for Alarm Over Failure OF
Bank of Commerce.

KANSAS CITY, December G.-There was
no evidence of a run on any Of the local
banks in the early hours today. Banks
officially generally gave it as their opin-
ion that the crisis resulting from the fail
Commerce was over and that normal con-
ditions would soon exist again. They in
sisted that there was no need for alarm
and that the closingsof the National Bank
of Commerce really cleared the atmos-
phere and marked the first real step to-
ward a restoration of confidence Many
depostors of the Commerce were reas-
sured by the declarations of officials of
that institution that il would not only pay
depositors in full. but that stockholders
also would lose nothing.
James 7. Bradley, appointed receiver
yesterday by the controller OF the cur
rency. had no statement to make this
morning. Mr.. Bradley was receiver and
wound up the affairs of the First Ma
tonal Bank of Topeka which failed. as
a result of the collapse of the enterpris IS
OF the late c. J. Dev.in in 1905. His sue
cess in managing the Devl.n affairs has
inspired many of the larger 'depositors
of the Commerce with the hope that III
will be able to realize the claims of the
Commences officials, and pay out in full.
The failure of the National Bank OF
Commerce had no apparent effect upon
the Commerce Trust Company, whose
president Dr. w. S. Woods, was also
president of the bank.
Many depositors of the National Bank
of Commerce have opened aclounts In
the trust company. as well as with other
local banks. w. 7. kemper, vice press
dent of the Commerce Trust Company
said that he had already received close to
s 90 600 of now deposits from that source

STRINGENCY LETTING UP.
Money Market Conditions In Chi
cago Reported Much Improved.

CHICAGO, December 6.-There were
many indications here yesterday that the
money stringency is nearing its end. The
banks reported that no withdrawal no
tees were being filed, while many pre-
viously given were being Cancelled. De
posts again are on tine increase. No
more clearing house checks were issued
during the day. On the contrary. the
banks redeemed large amounts of the
emergency currency.
Already with Christmas three weeks
away the volume of registered mail ham
died al the Chicago post office is 20 per
cent in excess of what 1t was at this time
last season.
While the financial stringency does not
seem to have affected the sending of
Christmas presents. it has shown its eff
feet elsewhere. according to Peter New
ton. secretary of the board of examiners

with the understanding that the payment was
not to prejudice the allegation that the city's
claim is excessive. The Controller sent the
proposition 20 Corporation Counsel Ellison with
g request for prompt advice with reference TO
the advisabilty of accepting a partial payment.
The car license fee issue has been handed
down a sort OF official heirloom from one ad-
rninistration 20 another. Corporation Counsel

Rives. who earnestly went al the task OF COM
pelling the company 20 pay. but after he left

doorstep. Like his predecessors he went through
the motions OF making the company pay the old
accounts. but the matter was still up in the

The contention Of the company is that the
city is trying 10 collect for both summer and
winter cars. and that this is essentially unjust.
a about half the cornpany's cars are housed at
varying seasons. The company is unwilling to
pay on more than the number Of cars actually
IN use the yeer round. Mr.. Rives contended that
the law bound the company to pay on every car
for which license was issued.
The cash proposition from the company is tho
first tender Of its kind. The case is in the courts
and the company says It is willing 10 pay the
full amount Of the claims if the courts say It
must.

or more, and amount to 81 512,0e0.
When George L. Rives was Corporation Coun-

claims When the matter came up in court the
contestants agreed 10 a stipulation that no
money should he paid pending the report OF the
