Last evening the four classes of tho High school came together at Coatcs' hall for their annual basket ball games and it resulted in many surprises. In tho opening game between the juniors ami the freshmen, the freshmen sprang a surprise on their opponents ami hung a large, sized defeat on them, winning by a Hcore of 28 to 18. The young sters had evidently practiced a great deal more than the juniors, as they lead the light all the way "through the game. Tho BcnloVs badly outclassed the sophomores in their contest and were able to throw baskets at w'H, the sophs being unable lo stop their clever plays. Arrios ami luncan of the senior team are very clever basket ball play ers and had no trouble in gelling the ball into Hie baskets at all limes. The Until score of this game w as 2 to 2 in favor of I he seniors. In the championship gain' be tween the seniors and the fresh men there was considerable feel ing displayed by the players on the freshman side and the referee. The game was hard fought, both sides playing a good game. The dual score was 48 lo no in favor From Saturday's Dally.

"In December we started out and were thirty-one days crossing 300 mllet of the worst strip of land we ever en countered. We explored the little known Morton river and made records and compass calculations. This is one ot the largeFt rivers flowing Into the Arctic. We were going through the bnrren grounds and putting In a sup ply of caribou for our dash for Corona tion hay in the spring. From Deast river to the Dismal lake country and to the Coppermine river and Corona tion bay was our course, the last sev enty-flve miles over the Ice, before we found these strange people.

The Nebraska su pretne court Interpeted the state prim a.y law in various decisions for in all) rendered. An opinion was handed down in the suit denying the right o, the Roosevelt electors to preferential place on the ballot; also in the case of A. M. Morrissey, who sought ii vain to prevent the Progressives fron going on the ballot at all. The syllabus in the ease won by th( Taft electors Is as follows: "Persons nominated by a political party al a primary election as candi dates for presidential electors, are nominated, not as electors to vote foi any particular candidate then known but to vote, if elected, for the persons who may subsequently be nomlnatec by the national convention of suet, party as candidates for the offices ol president and vice president. "It Is a well settled rule at coinmor law that if a person, while occupying one otllce, accepts another Incompati ble with the first, he Ipso facto vacates the first otllce. and his title thereto is thereby terminated without any other act or proceeding. . "In such a case one of the tests ol lncompatibllltv Is whether the nature! and duties of the two offices are such as to render it Improper, from consid erations of public policy, for the In cumbent to retain both. "Where It appears that acts or events have occurred rendering an of fice vacnnt, the authority having the power to fill such vacancy may treat the ofllco as vacant and proceed to elect or appoint, according to the form of law. another to fill It. "Dy tho sfcittttes of this state every voter has the right by a single cross, or by one manipulation of the lever ol a voting machine, to vote a straight ticket for the candidates of his party. And It Is the right of the governing body or committee of a political party to appeal to the court to enforce such right.
