Quite a- number of visitors from Illinois were on hand last Monday to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday. Rev. B. Bessinger was absent from his post of duty several days during the last week. Rev. T. F. Kramer was called to Toledo, Ohio, on account of the illness and death of his uncle, John Kirsch. While playing in the gymnasium the other day, L. Dionne fell and dislocated his right arm at the elbow, and also fractured it above the joint The Raleigh Smoking Club has in preparation an.extensive and elaborate burlesque entertainment which will be staged In the very near future. The editors of last spring’3 “Diamond Dust” are now busily and commendably editing “Gym-Junk,” the midwinter issue of the local baseball paper. In style it is the same andT tends much to arouse interest in the varsity and league games. At the recent election of the St. Stanislaus Altar Society, the following received the Offices: President, J. Tokarz; Vice-President, M. Kozacik; Secretary, G. Kussmaul; Critic, W. Duetsch; Ser. at Arms, S. Beckman. The following visitors were .with us during the week: Mrs. M. J. Bagot and Miss Eleanora Bagot, SL Paul, Minn.; Mrs. W. C.

On Monday evening the basketball team of St. Viateur’s College,'Kankakee, 111., humbled the St. Joe varsity on their own floor by defeating the locals by the score of 36 to 29. The visitors got the jump on the home quintette and piled up a large score in the first half. In the second period the St. Joe boys got busy, but their endurance gave way before they could reach the long end score. The game was hard and rough, many fouls being called on both sides, but the visitors were the more frequent offenders. This was the first game of any kind that we have had with our nearest collegiate neighbor, and we look forward to pleasant athletic relations with them for a long time to come. The varsity plays the return game at Kankakee March _
