For opening exercises yesterday
morning Professor Spohn made a few
remarks concerning the deeclamatory
and the coming oratorical contests. He
said that each one ought to start work
ing hard on their orations. and those
who expect to enter the defamation
contest next year should start on their
declamations now.
Wednesday evening after school the
last of the .inter-class series will take
place. The principal game will be
between the juniors and sophomores.
The winner of this contest will play
the seniors for the championship of the
school There is some speculation as
to how the contest between the juniors
and sophomores will come out. In the
first part of the season Mr.. McElroy
said the standing wouldn't be in the or
der of the classes. The game Wednes-
day night will decide the truth of this
The cold snap was felt yesterday
Several of the recitation rooms were
cold and everybody wanted to get as
near as possible to the radiator.
The orchestra practiced last evening
in the kindergarten. Professor Lean
ing out of the high school material
has made a good orchestra and this was
demonstrated when they played or
numerous occasions.
Principal MeElroy was absent from
his school duties yesterday. Professor
Spohn is acting in Mr.. McElroy's ca
pacity during his absence.
All teams practiced basketball las

the form of a game between ths
freshmen and sophomores from 4:30 te
SIS, and the seniors and juniors from
SIS to 6. The same teams will prac
tiee the same time this evening.
Quite a neat sum was realized at tn,
declamatory contest This will go tt
the athletic association to help defra.

Several people had to take a quie
little journey home to secure their re
port cards. Yesterday was the tim
limit and several had to pay the penal

otto HAEHNEL ROBBED
Resort on Mud Lake Is
Again Entered by
Busy Thieves.

Otto Haehnel, who has a clubhouse
over on Mud Lake, was again victim
ized by robbers. Last night thieves
broke into his clubhouse and stole s65
and an Elgin watch. The watch is
described to the police as having a pic
ture of a locomotive on 1t.
The ROBBERS entered the place through
an unlocked door. There was $50 taken
from a bureau drawer and SIS from an
old cigar box. The thieves had an
easy job of 1t as the key to the bureau
drawer was in the lock and all that
was necessary was to turn it.
Those who were in the house say
that they did not hear sound during
the evening and they did not discover
the loss until this morning

Whiting, Ind, Dec. S.-A birthday

friends, over Cilentza's saloon in Whit
ing last Sunday night, in celebration of
his twenty-frst anniversary, may cost
him his life. The young fellow lies at
ST. Margaret's hospital lowering be-
tween life and death as the result of
stabbing wounds that he received early
yesterday morning from his friend, EN-
bro Branchich.
Embro, according to eye-witnesses,
became unru1y in the course of the
evenings festivities and Grubach, see
ing that his entertainment was threat
ened with rowdyism, ordered his friend
from the room. Embro left with bad
grace, but returned shortly after, and,
standing in the doorway, beckoned to
Grubach to come out intimating that
he wanted to speak to him. Grubach
walked into the trap and followed EN-
bro from the step of the building to an
adjacent lot.
Buries Two Knives In Him.
| Here Embro jerked out two jack
knives from his pocket and began bury

mer friend. When he had completed his
das tardly work Grubach had sustained
two cuts in the left arm, two In the
shoulder, two in the neck and two in

conscious, and was found there later by
some of his friends, who summoned the

OTHER QUATERs
Members of Hammond Ath-
letic Association Hold
a Meeting.

The members of the Hammond Ath-
letic association met on the third floor
of the First National Bank building
last evening and decided to take tenn
porary lease on those quarters for two
months and look for other quarters in
the meantime.
The constitution and bylaws were
also read and discussed, and certain
changes were suggested. The consti-
tuition and bylaws of the association
are to be framed after thosesof the
New Illinois Athletic club of Chicago
although they viii be greatly simplified
to meet the needs of a smaller organi-
zation.
Disturbs the Students.
The reason why the quarters over the
First National bank building were not
secured perman emily was on account OF
the danger of disturbing the students
of the Chicago business college.
An arrangement was made, however
by which the quarters are to be occu-
pied temporarily and the members Of
the club have had assurances that {
building will be constructed in the neal
future which will have one fool
adapted to their purposes.
There was large attendance at ths
meeting last night and the interes
which was manifested in every pfas'
| of the discussion is evidence of tn.
great interest in the club project as
whole.
| There were a number of new mem
bers admitted last evening, among then
being Otto Klemperer. the manager o
the Lion Store furniture department
Rev. F. NJ. Elliott and several others
In fact. the interest which is beinl
manifested by the older business me-
of the city in the enterprise is one 0
the most promising features about tn
new association.

and theory created the usual sensation,
smany hundreds of people brought
enormous internal parasites 70 the
young man, which had left the system
after taking his medicine.
Among these people was Mr.. Emil
Winkler, who brought to Cooper a
tapeworm that proved to be over
ninety feet in length. Mr.. Winkler,
who resides at 1872 East Ohio Street,
Chicago, had this to say of his expe-
rience: "For five years I have been
more or less complaining. I have had
severe headaches, and any food that I
would eat would nauseate me. I would
have bad dreams almost every night;
dizzy spells would compel me to quit
work. Black spots would appear be.
