SCHOOL NOTES.
Ih; Mnrir. Ruhcrtiwh.
Last Saturday evening the first bas
ket ball games of the season were
played. The first half the Freshmen
boys played the Sophomore boys, re
sulting in a victory for the Sophmorc
team. In the second half the Seniors
w.'i'e defeated.
The Freshman class furnished the
music this week, Waldcmar Socnnich
sen presiding at the piano.
On Thursday night the Junior boys
defeated the Sophomore boys by a
score of 16-12. The game was very ex
citing and some splendid playing was
done by both teams I Maybe the prom
ised supper had something to do. with
the energy displayed. 1 '
The Senior girls won against the
girls' interclass team, score 15-6. Re
gardless of the fact that the Senior
team were all last year players and
much heavier, the other girls put up a
good fight.
After the games Thursday evening
Hon. R. B. Windham very pleasantly
surprised the four defeated teams by
inviting them to an oyster supper at
his palatial home on Sixth street.
Those present are rejoicing over the
fact that they had their oyster supper
before the victorious teams got their
promised feast. After a very enjoy
able time all jifincd in voting their host
"a charming entertainer.

few days.

EX-PRESIDENT ROOSE
VELT IS ALL RIGHT
Rumored Accident to Teddy Is En
tirely Discredited.
ENTEBBE, UGANDA, Nov. 8.
The rumors that harm had come to cx
Prcsidcnt Roosevelt is without foun
dation. A message from the British
Commissioner at Eldama Ravine was
received here as follows:
"Roosevelt was in excellent health
October 28 and news of the party re
ceived on October 30 reported all
well. A letter, dated November 3,
has been received from the party, who
at the time the message was sent
were on the Guas Ingishu plateau. The
letter made no mention at all of Col.
onel Roosevelt. If any of the party is
sick, we, the nearest medical help,
have received no news of such sick
ness.' The Roosevelt party was at Eldama
ravine, from which the commissioner
telegraphs, on October 27, and prob
ably proceeded for Guas Ingishu pla
teau on October 28. In any event
their nearest point of communication
with the outside world would be for
several days Eldama ravine, and news
of the party could hardly get out by
any other way.

More Car Breakers.
Saturday morning Mr. Jordan saw
three young men break into a car at
the Missouri Pacific depot in this city
and he at once sent his son to notify
Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker, who with
Sheriff Quinton was soon on their
trail and captured them near the home
of T. M. Patterson as they were mak
ing for the tall timber. They arc now
confined in the county jail. It was not
learned what, if anything, was taken
from the car.
We have learned since that the bur
glars were apprehended by Sheriff
Quinton and Mr. Jordan. It is also
learned that tho night workers broke
into a work car and stole one or two
overcoats, one of the coats being
identified by the owner.
D. C. Cahion and C. W. Dillon of
Decatur, this state, are spending their
vacations in this city, being domiciled
with the family of R. (). Watters.
and just look at our
great array of
Hart Schajfner G Marx
fine clothes.
You ought to do
this for your own
sake to see what
good clothes really
are; to appreciate the
advances made in'lhe
development of .fine
clothing in recent
years. These clothes
are strictly all wool;
the tailoring is such
as few custom tailors
are capable of; the
style is the most per-'
feet known.
We'll fit any man
who comes to us and
do it right.
