In a we'll played, interesting basket
ball game, Park River defeated Lang
don 20 to 81 on the local floor here,
February 28th. The Park River boys
came with such confidence, expecting
to win by a large margin, this proba-
bly, accounting for their scoring early
in the game. On the other hand most
Of the Langdon boys are young and
inexperienced and really didn't expect
to do much with Park River, who
have had strong teams for several
years, while Langdon has not been
doing much in that line. So naturally
our boys were nervous and somewhat
excited and had to work this off before
being able to play their best ball.
The first chance either side had to
score was a free throw, Simmer of
Park River making the first point that
way which was soon followed with a
field goal by Sydmore. In the mean
time Langdon was given several OPP
portunities at free throws, but Mon
nette being somewhat nervous was not
able to cage the ball. Simmer threw
another field goal which made the
score SO. Things were looking bad
for Langdon when to the surprise of
all Finley Ramage made nice basket
and in rapid s]ucucession threw two
more. The gymnasium could scarcely
contain all the noise and cheering of
the audience. Play continued, Park
River again gaining the lead and the
first half ended with the score 1877 in
their favor. After a good lecture,
during the intermission the Langdon
boys went on the floor determined to
win. They had an eight point lead
to overcome and to add to this Park
River made three more baskets before
our boys got started. Here the, story
changes; the Langdon boys came to
their natural selves and started the
fireworks that again set the crowd
wild. With some first rate team work
and snappy passing, the ball was in
Langdon's territory continually during
which time Ramage made two more
baskets, Radford two, Robertson one
and Monnette four. The score was
tied, but in the last few seconds of
play Simmer stole away from his
guard and made the basket that wor
the game.
1t was a hard game to loose, how
ever several remarked that it was the
fastest game ever seen on the loca'
floor so we cannot help but be PROUD
of our boys for good playing. The
line up was as follows:

that the nucleus Of the plot-the
home of the district attorneys
entered and the tragedy Of wilful-

barred. The inevitable sorrows that

''Where are my Children?"

White too is confident that her hus-
band has suffered some mental affec-

was made over the city and the pool
at the Masonic temple was searched.

FROM WAR ZONE

Paris, Jan. 5.-The Matin affirms,
notwithstanding denials, that the Ger

of the throat and is no longer able
to speak.

Matin, "the doctors were considering
whether it was necessary to remove
the entire Iarynx in order to stay the
the question as to whether the emperor
would be able to speak IL such an
operation were performed. The lead
ing specialists of every capital in Eu-
rope were consulted. 1t was learned
that an eminent surgeon OF Paris had,
with an artificial larynx and a breath
ing tube opening into the trachea,
restored the power of speech to can
cerous patients who had undergone to-
tai ablation Of the affected organs.
This doctor. whose name the Matin
withholds for reasons of professional
etiquette, was asked to go to Berlin by
the German ambassador. He was Of
fered 100000 francs and all his ex-
penses and was requested to bring
with him patient who had been fitted
with the apparatus. SO that the en-
peror himself might see IL he was able
to speak.
Meanwhile. as a result OF minor
operation with a bistoury and few
weeks absolute rest the ernperor's COM
dition improved. as is often the case in
this disease. the progress OF which is
but slow. 1t is another
operation OF this kind which has just
been performed. But 1t is only pailia-
tive. The German emperor must either
make up his mind to complete removal
of the larynx or be stifled by the
growth.
This explains why the emperor went
