ARTIST PLANNING TO
INVADE THE ARCTIC

New York, Dec. 11.--The far north
has invited another explorer to its
wilds. jacques Suzzane, painter and
huntsman, will start from here in a
few days with the hope of placing his
easel further north than ever painter

Eskimo dogs, one of which was pre-
sented to him by Admiral Peary. He
has already lived among the Eskimo

in arctic exploration.
His real invasion of the wilderness
of ice will be made next spring by way

years ago by Alexander Berrisoff,
famous Russian painter, who covered
Spitzbergen and the straights of Nova
Zembla and the Kara ""N, painting
pictures in weather so j his paints
CONCEALED before he could spread them
on the canvass.

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The OttumWa high school girls
basketball team took the first step to-
wards taking the championship of
Iowa last night when it defeated the
strong Beacon team by the score Of
20 to 10. The Ottumwa team COM
pletely outclassed the visitors in every
line Of the game and did not allow the
Beaconites to get point the first half.
This was the first game the Ottumwa
team had played and although it has
had little practice, nevertheless there
was great deal of team work used
in the game.
The Beacon team played strong the
first three minutes of the game and
no score was made by either side.
Then Miss Deskin made a beautiful
throw and the OttumWa team scored
it's first points. This put more spirit
into the Ottumwa players and in the
next five minutes several baskets were
made by Miss Deskin and Miss Will
liams. Miss Deskin was particularly
good on her shots and very few of her
tries for the basket failed to make
points for the local team. Miss Brou-
hard played an aggressive game and
was always on hand to pass the ball
to Miss Deskin. Miss Williams was
good on team work and several times
had chances to shoot but passed the
ball to the other forward who was
nearer the basket. The first half
ended with the score Is to 0 in favor
of Ottumwa.
In the second half Miss Mcbride
took Miss Reeds place at guard. The
Beacon team came back strong and
the first basket was made when Miss
Carpenter, the right guard threw the
ball the complete length Of the floor
and made basket. This was the
first point made by the Beacon team
and the visitors in the galleries cheer
ed. The play continued and Ottumwa
and Beacon played about even, each
side making baskets and each becom-
ing more and more accurate on foul
shooting In this half Miss Deskin
made four baskets and Miss Williams
added two more to her credit. Miss
Burdess was easily the star for the

admittedly due almost altogether to
the efforts Of this organization Of Brit

the Congo, which SO shocked the en-
tire world when they were first re-
yealed dozen years ago during the
reign of the late King Leopold, have

"The Congo has ceased to be drain.

today" said h. D. Morel, secretary Of
the association, following the final
meeting Of the organization, "and as
our objects have been accomplished,
there is no further need Of our exist
ence.
The concessionaire companies OF
shameful memory, have all either beer
annulled or their powers curtailed and
transformed, and thousands Of natives
who had fled to recesses .of the for

back in their old settlements on the
river banks. The country is no longer

another has been abolished Our as

one realized. We failed TO secure spe
