Give sn Entertainment. The high school eadets forty-five strong, met last night at the Masonic
temple and had their first drill under
the direction of Colonel George R. Williams. For some weeks the boys have been busy getting up such a company and have at last succeeded in completing arrangements and will immediately settle down to hard work and in a short time hope to have the finest company in the state. At the present time the company is composed of forty-five members. The Masonic temple has been chosen as the drill ball and George R. Williams will act as drill master. Mr. Williams has a thorough knowledge of army tactics and a better choice could not have been made. The rules of the United States infantry will govern the company and will be strictly adheied to. The object of the organization is to get a general idea of war tactics ' and ' to become acquainted with military discipline. The officers will be selected solely or. their merits and will possibly be named in about two weeks. It is probable that after the company is fully organized uniforms will be secured and the boys may go into camp for two or three weeks this summer. The debating club will have a meetinn tonight at the high school building and will debate o i the question ''Resolved, That party allegience is preferable to independent acti m in
politics." The speakers on the affirmative are Fred Johnson, Rnlpu Morris and Edmund Dickinson and those on the negative side are Karl Barnes,

DANGEROUS SPORT.
Earlham Bovs Said to bs Tampering
With Strsst Railway Prop- , - " srtj. In the past few days a number of
complaints have been made to the superintendent of the street railway company, by the motormen relative to some dangerous tricks that have been played by some persons in the vicinity
of Earlham college. On Wednesday
evening the track was greased from the Earlham entrance to the cemetery
gate, where the road terminates, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that the if ears were kept from
mining off the track into the bumping
post. The track was also greased on the incline near the turn at west fifth
and Main, making it a hazardous task to run the cars up and down the hill in safety. On another night thU week
the motorman on one of the cars was going . down the hill near Earlham
when be saw two young men walking
on either side cf the track in front of
the car, carrying a good sized tree limb
between them. As soon as the car
eame within a few fe t of the boys they dropped it on the track and ran
away, bnt not before they were identified as a couple of Earlham boys. It is not known whether they
have been at the bottom of all tbe
trouble or not, but Superintendent
Kessler intends to watch the matter and let the police do the rest. Why the street ear company should be made
tne victim oi sncn so-called tun" is
not known as the college has always
been given the best of service and treated with the utmost courtesy by
the management. This is dangerous work and may re suit in the loss of life or property, un less stopped.
