London, April 29.-The mystery sur
rounding events in the Balkans is be-
coming deeper. No further news has
been received of Esaad Pasha's ex.
plot in Albania and the. situation at
Saloniki is difficult to understand. A
dispatch from Saloniki confirms the
report that orders were given for the
Bulgars to evacuate all places &C.
cupied by the Greeks, but that hter
these orders were countermanded and
that on1cial attempts we're made to
pretend they were never given.
A Bucharest dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph expresses the firm conyic
ton that Immediately after peace is
signed between the allies and Turkey
q new war will commence between
Servia, Bulgaria and Greece.
A Bulgarian correspondent says
that large concentrations of opposing
troops are in readiness for these new
campaigns and adds that he has heard
from reliable sources that consider.
able fighting has already occurred and
that three important engagements
were fought during the last week, con.
corning which the greatest secrecy
has been maintained.
He declares fighting with heavy
losses on both sides between the Bull
garians and Servians to the northeast
of Monastir April 10, and fighting be-
tween the Greeks and Bulgarians for
week in the vicinity Of Nigrita, Sc
res and Saloniki. ~
The Daily Telegraph calls attention
to the fact that, whereas few weeks
ago the Servians, were endeavoring to
defeat and capture david Pasha's
army, these operations appear to have
ceased, and suggests that the cessa-
ton Of the Servian attack is connect
ed with Esaad Pasha's coup.
Apparently the ambassadors confer
ence in London postponed its deci-
sion until the next meeting, which
IL set for May 1. -. .-.,.

REGARD DECISION
AS FARREACH|NC
Lawyers Display Interest in
Railway Opinion.

Washington, April 29.-The decision
of the supreme court in holding the
Northern Pacific Railway company
liable for the debts of the Northern
Pacific railroad, contracted before the
reorganization of the latter company,
lays down the general principle that
q creditor of corporation, not par
ty to it's reorganization, may hold its
successor for it's debt.
The decision is of momentous i'm.
portance, especially to railroads.
In this specific case the court, five
to four, in a decision which Justice
Lurton, who dissented, declared, was
alarming" held the Northern Pacific
Railway company responsible for
$125, 900 judgment against the North.
ern Pacific Railroad company, which
it succeeded, despite the fact that the
court expressly stated that no moral
wrongdoing was to be found in the
reorganization.
Corporation lawyers who heard the
decision declared it was direct blow
at the practice of recognizing cor
porations to get rid of onerous con-
tracts or escape payments to unse-
cured creditors. Its effect, they
thought, would be farreaching.

The game started out az though Il
would be an air tight 10 affair
throughout. Harmony's pitcher beinl
unusually good and striking out
even our best batters one after an.
other. However, as the game pro.
crossed the inferiority of .Harmony's
fielding began to manifest ITSELF
and soon seven runs were piled up
by Cresco to one little counter fol
Harmony. Practically all Of Cres-
co.'s runs were due to the fact that
men got on bases through errors
and then q pitch hit brought them
in. The. superiority OF Cresco in
the field was apparent at all times.
The outfielders accepted several
hard chances successfully, Car
man getting two beauties. The
infield proved stone wall. the on
ly errors being made at first base
due to McVety's inexperienece in
playing this position. Patterson
pitched his usual steady game and
Donegan caught like veteran. Not
single Harmony player succeeded
in stealing second base while Cres-
co stole at will. Pless scooped
in all grounders that came within
range Of second base and with a
little more practice at the bat will
develop into an excellent player.
Hamilton and Davis played their
usual star games at third and
short stop, the latter distinguishing
himeslf at the bat by getting two
clean singles just when they were
needed. The Cresco team showed a
good knowledge Of inside base ball
obeying their signals faithfully and
not once hitting into a double play.
The PROJECTS seem good for an,
other dou gtlr cpy
other championship team this year.
Not little credit for the victory
should be given to Cresco's high
school band. They headed a parade
of rooters down to the grounds and
succeeded in stirring up SO much
enthusiasm that record breaking
crowd was in attendance, and
throughout the game enlivened the
spirits of the players and the
players and the crowd by giving a
title impromtu band concert. c..
H. S. is proud and has a right to
be of our band.
Next Friday Cresco plays re-
turn game at Harmony. Following

Friday evening in the high school
assembly room occurred the last
of the inter-society programs.
The debate was won by the Roberts
society represented by John John
son, Winifred Evans and Florence
McCook. This is the first time in
the history of the school that the
Roberts socity mas won the debat-
ing championship and they are
proud of their achievement. It is
interesting to note that during
the past four years a different So
ciety has won each year. In 1910
the. championship went to the
Roosevelt society; in 1911 to the
newly organized Hawkeye society;
in 1912 to the Dolliver society; and
now in 1913 to the Roberts society.
This would indicate that the four
societies are very evenly balanced.
and accounts somewhat for the
evenly matched debates that al
ways occur between them. Other
features Of the program were Will
Darrow's reading with musical ac-
compartment which was given in his
usual artistic manner, and a duet
by Paul Brown and Mary Eaton,
which was also wei received. The
and the music by the
orchestra was also worthy of men
ton. Owing perhaps to the sea-
son the audience was not as large
as it should have been. The Judges
Of the debate were Revs. Shaffer,

that trade is slack and murmuring

mutters, ''Wel, cash is tight and
don't find any relief in sight, so I

you have any money now. Of course,
it is only fair to state that a slight
advance in the interest rate would
be the sort of a circumstance which
might induce us to take a chanceg"
