HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

/ If there's ever time when Teller
needs a a friend' it's that unspeaka able
week after New Years. Everybody
comes back fairly creaking with pain.
fully new resolves. The teachers
especially, are afflicted and return with
their abnormally alert minds loaded and
primed with the very latest and most
scientific methods on the painless ~
extraction of knowledge and guarantees
to kill or cure inveterate gum chewers,
whisperers and other disturbers of a
teachers peace, while the students are
resolutioned to the pitch of moral and
mental prodigies and entertain entranc-
ing visions of captured hordes of those
will-o-the- wisps known as Els and G
plusses. Affairs move along in this
fashion for several days and then some
how or other and no one knows just
exactly how, but to everyone's relief,
everything gradually drops back to nor
NAL again and one more bath of New
Years resolutions have died the death
they always do. -.
Theresa Mead opened chapel with a
very pleasing piano solo after which
Prof. Coonrod gave US little talk. urg-
ing US to take more interest In the
coming declamatorY contest, and to be-
gin coaching the contestants. Evan
pelist Davis then took charge OF the
service and delivered an inspiring talk
on EVERY day Opportunities. ="

FRESHMEN NOTES.
Yes, we're back at worl. again. but
oh! what a time we do have. 1t seems
that the teachers expect US to remem-

before the holidays, and in that they are

if we had never known anything. Poor
Freshest Miss McGregor started the
New Year right for us, by requiring US
to take review of grammar.
The Ancient History classes have
almost finished Greek history, and are
now studying the three periods OF Greek
art and literature. Perhaps this fact
is responsible for many OF the Fresh
men being seen boxing, apparently, for
air ships. In reality they were prob
ably studying architecture, to decide
whether it was Ionic, Doric or Corinth-
ian.
Thursday Miss CRUDE permitted us to
have a spelling match AS a review.
Friday We had test in Latin. Some
did very we'll indeed, .slnce their grades
were perfect.

LOCAL POLICE
HOLD TWO men
FOR SEATTLE

The arrest of two principals, alleged
as In a gigantic scheme to defraud, the
recovery and confiscation gilmore than
$1,000 worth Of merchandise, have To-
day been accomplished by Captain Of
Detectives Arthur McDuffie and q
CORPS OF plain clothes men who this
morning visited the Canadian-Anstra-
lasian liner Niagara, from Vancouver
and Victoria, and laid a OBTAINING hand
on a.. Depeuter. alias vandervecker,
who is sought by Seattle. Wash, POI
lice upon charge of larceny.
A. man giving the name of R. j.
Richie, who arrived In the city as a
passenger in the Oceanic liner Sono-
ma, Is also at the city and county jail
awaiting action by the coast authori-
ties.
II Is alleged that Depeuter had been
employed as agent for an installment
house. He admitted to Captain McDuf-
fie this morning before being ta-
ken from the Niagara that business
lad been bad and he saw no way out
of his financial difficulties other than
making a newsstart. A portion Of the
stock had been shipped to Honolulu,
reaching this city some days ago IN a
Matson steamer.
Richie followed to prepare the mer-
chandise for shipment TO Australia. It
was believed that in breaking the jour
ney ct Honolulu the Seattle police
would be thrown off their track.
Depeuter is said to have partially adj
mitted HIS guilt when arrested by Nc
Duffie.
The Seattle officers advised the lo-
cal police to hold the men as they pos
sess larceny warrants. They state In
late cables that they will be prepared
to arrange for extradition. II Is under
stood that an officer will soon be dis
patched to Honolulu to take over the
custody Of the two men.

When Missouri Athletic Club In
 St. Louis Is Destroyed.

St. Louis, March 9.-Between 30 to 35 guests of the Missouri Athletic Club perished in the flames that destroyed the build ing this morning. This is the belief of officers of the club to- night. Seven bodies have been recovered and from 23 to 29 per sons are still unaccounted for. Tonight fremen continued to search for bodies in the smould- ering ruins under the glare of searchlights.
 A committee early today open ed headquarters at the Press Club and asked all who were guests of the Missouri Athletic Club last night to report, but 30 to 35 did not register and hourly the feeling grew that all these were lost. It is hoped that the water can be pumped out of the ruins tonight and search for bodies resumed.
 Among the supposed missing were J. L. Mercy, representing Armour Packing Company, who travelled in this territory and was well known in Newport. The St. Louis papers gave him as one of the missing.
 The Farmers Bank sent tele- grams to his home at Dexter, Missouri and also to his house in St. Louis. An answer received rom the latter at 200 p. m. stated that Mr. Mercy had giv- an up his room Sunday and was 5afe, but his Newport friends ire still uneasy because they nave not been able to locate him.
