PLAN A PHYSICAL
SCHOOL TRAINING
Department Proposed in Con
nection with Manual Arts
Building in City.
NEEDED IN DEVELOPMENT
Probable That New Instructor Will
Be Provided with Next
Fall Term.

| mere mas Deen SugSSSleo III COh-
nection with the proposed manual arts
building a department Of physical
| to the students of the Rock Island
! high school and eventually, when the
/ field of work warrants, TO the pupils
of the grammar grades as we'll. This
department is one which should re
ceive considerable attention. especially
| in city the size of Rock Island. At
present the stronger youths of the
| high school receive the benefits of the
| athletics. but the smaller boys have
an opportunity to do little more than
| look on. AS a result the ones who
need the physical development are
left without it, while those who are
stronger receive all the benefits.
| With a manual arts building-and
! it's almost certain that a new one will
be erected in Rock Island within a
very short time-room should be pro-
vided for capacious and well
equipped gymnasium for the conduct
of a physical training department
Members of the board OF education
are considering this phase of the
school work in addition to the increase
in the facilities and scope of the man
ual training and domestic science de-
partments.
INSTRUCTOR NEEDED.
In order to organize the physical
culture work, ii would be necessary to
add a physical instructor to the high
school faculty. This instructor would
be in charge of the athletics of the
school He would direct the training
of all teams and would see to it that
the boys played the games for some
thing more than the mere glory of
the thing. 1t would probably take
some time to place this work on a
firm foundation, as there is now no
organization of the work However,
whether the new gymnasium is pro-
vided for in the new building or not,
it is argued that the physical training
should be placed upon an organized
scale as soon as possible. 1t is prob
able that an instructor viii be added
next fall Glasses in physical culture
would be conducted each afternoon,
and the girls as well as the boys
would be required to take the work.
There is room in the high school gym
nasium for such work, but the equip
ment would be limited.
BETTER SCHOOL SPIRIT.
With the increased facilities for the
manual training branches and the ad-
dition of the physical training de-
partment the Rock Island high school
would be placed in the front ranks in
high school work, and with such ad-
vantages TO offer to the young peo-
pie of the city, the number to enroll
in the school each year would I'M
doubtedly be increased. The addition
of this department would also tend
to preserve a better order and better
spirit throughout the entire school.

HAMPTON CLOSE TO HIGH
Comes Within One Point of Reach
ing It-Season Ended with
Last Nights Games.

And that is the way that the teams
in the Commercial bowling league
finished the season, one of the most
successful and enthusiastic ever held
in Rock Island. The final games
were rolled last night. The Colts
were easy winners OF the tourna-
ment. They took lead in the first
series of games and maintained it
throughout the year. The Indepen-
dents upon several occasions were
within striking distance, but each
time they failed to strike" and thus
missed landing first place. The real
race for the last few weeks has been
between the Athletics eS7d Pretzels.
who have lowered around the bottom
of the ladder all through the season.
In the last two series of games, the
Athletics have nosed away from the
cellar position. leaving the Daven-
port team in the lurch.
For winning the tournament, each
of the members of the Colts team
will receive a properly inscribed
gold medal. AS particular star of the
season, Arthur Salzmann. leader of
the Colts. far outshines his team
mates as we'll as his opponents, and
carried off all of the medals offered
by the club. His high individual
score of 246. made on the first night
of the tournament, wins the high
score medal.
HAMPTON COMES CLOSE.
Last night o. B. Hampton of the
Independents came within one of ty-
ing that score. On the last ball in
his second game he secured but nine
pins. Had he made all of them he
would have tied Salzmann's record.
The best he could do was 245. For
high average Salzmann is again in
the lead with ~. John WITCH is
second with 172 and Charles Roam
tree third with III. For high score
for a series of three games, SalZ-
mann had SAB, 16 pins better than
the next high score made by o. H.
Pollnow and Herman WITCH. So Cap
tain Salzmann wins four medals for
this seasons work. A banquet will
be held at the Harms hotel within
a few weeks and the medals will
then be awarded The Colts will re-
ceive medals for high percentage and
high score for a series of three
games.
Last night the Athletics started
out to clean up things, and they sure
ly rolled fine games. Every mem
Der of the team rolled over 500, and
Herceler and Mueller were close to
the 600 mark. The total for the
three games was 2,743. Their OPP
ponents, the Independents, were
beaten in all three games. 1t was in
this series that Hampton rolled his
high score. Roantree rolled 555 for
the series.

WED. MAY. 81. 1911,

When death visits family and
removes a member who was
weighted with many years, we
most generally say he fought a
good fight, he ran his course,
ready now to enter upon his re-
ward. We know that when old
age comes, death soon follows,
and We are resigned to the inev-
itable-nerved to meet it. But
when a blooming young woman,
the pride of fond parents, idolized
by devoted brothers and sisters,
loved by all her friends, possess
ing a most lovable, Christian
character, passes over the river
of death, it is hard to understand
why she was taken. Hence in
the removal of Miss Ina Hulse,
strong men and strong women
were made to weep, and mourn
ers went about our streets.
While the silver cord has been
loosed and the pitcher broken at
the fountain, we must say. Thy
will, o God, and resignedly SUBJ
NIT, knowing that beyond the
veil there will be another meet
ing. The death of Miss
Clara Wilson. though young, was
not a surprise, as she was a
victim of pulmonary trouble, a
disease from which death is the
only relief, though a patient
might linger for months and in
some instances for several years.
Miss Wilson was a young lady of
many noble traits of character,
ready to meet her God, her true
Christian life being known and
admired by this entire commune
ty. Those to whom she was
near and dear, cannot suppress
feelings of the deepest sorrow;
but knowing that her affection
was incurable by human skill,
they should rejoice that she is
now free from pain, having en-
tered by way of the straight
gate, and is with loved ones gone
before.

.CANDO WITNESS INSANE
CLAIMS ATTORNEYS FROM THIS
CITY BOTHERED HIM UNTIL
HIS MIND GAVE AWAY.

Bismarck, n. d., April 12.-The
strain of the Cowan trial seems to have
been too much for George Larson of
by the prosecution. Larson is now an
inmate of the county Jail here, with an
unbalanced mind For several days
Larson has labored under the dclusion
that Bismarck and Devils Lake are
both in a very bad condition and that
both towns need the devils driven out
of them. Larson seems to think that
the infernos are after him. and has
changed boarding places several times.
The unfortunate fellow called on the
Governor, who advised him to see a
physician, which he did. ana was later
removed to the hospital. His condition
became worse Monday night and Re
was later removed to the Jail for safe
keeping by the sheriff of BurlaiEh coun.
ty.
Today the sheriff of Towner county
arrived and will take the man back to
his home. He seems to !,e much bet
ter but persists in saying that the evil
spirits are after him and spends much
Of his time in jail in PRAYER. Larson
was interviewed this afternoon by a
reporter and seemed to be rational at
times, but when asked as to the purpose
of his visit would only answer that
"Wewe Wewe' and "Brannon had
bothered him so much that the devils
had come to get him. Efforts were
made to get him to talk of the Cowan
ease, but he steadfastly refused to
mention the affair, excepting that the
lawyers from Devils Lake were both
ering him.
The sheriff is expected to leave with
his man tomorrow and it is thought
that when he returns home he will re-
cover.

TORNEY WHO WAS IN CITY,
IS IN BAD.

+. l.. Sutton, who was in the city the
latter part OF last week on his way
west, was arrested at Williston accord.
ing to the Crookston Times, for passing
bogus checks. Sutton was formerly
practicing law at Minot, leaving there
to go to Minneapolis.
The Crookston article is as follows:
Yesterday, acting under advice wired
by Sheriff Daniels of this city, Z. l..
Sutton was arrested at Williston, N
d., wheer he is being held on charge
Of having passed various and sundry
checks in Crookston. ~. g
I Heswas here for several days at tthh5
Hotel Crookston with a pal named
Claude Keenan, and passed check
for $3.50 in payment of his account
He also passed $40 check in Chris
Hoch s, where he hung out for a good
portion OF his time.
He was in good standing here, hav.
ing been connected with Col. Dodge s
law office in st. Paul, and when he
went to Chas. Loring to have a check
cashed, Mr.. Loring cashed a $15 check
without hesitation and would have
cashed one for $50 just as quickly as
he had known Sutton for several years
and believed him to be o. k.
The county attorney at Williston has
the affair in charge out there and ad
vises that Sutton says he will settle
by payment in full in a few days.
1t appears that about two weeks age
Sutton was arrested by Sheriff Daniels
for passing a worthless check off or
Judge T. A. Sullivan, Of East Grand
Forks, and this he settled, it is sup
posed, by the money he got from the
checks cashed here.
Whether or not he intends to settle
here by passing a few more at Willie
to will remain matter of conjecture
until further developments.
