Crack Scarlet Outfit Trimmed in a Heart-Throbbing Contest.

WAS A SPECTACULAR GAME

IN THEIR FRANTIC EFFORTS TO WIN THE VISITORS PLAYED A ROUGH GAME. BUT WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS.

MEEK NAMED TODAY

Is Appointed Superintendent of Infirmary by the County Board.

WHY TOWNSEND RESIGNED

.Forty minutes of heart throbs, general dizziness and Quickened pulses were inflected upon the spectators at the Karlhani-Wabash basketball struggle, last night, at the eolineum, which resulted in a victory for Karl ham by the score of ::() to 25. From the opening of the game until the timer's whistle ended the second half, the contest was full of thrills and shivers. The score was always close and both teams realizing the importance of the Kunic, fought like demons throughout l he fray. Outplayed from the beginning to (he end, Wabash went down to defeat before l'.rlhani in the hardest

fought and most spectacular game ever seen on the coliseum floor. Team work and the remarkable endurance of the Quakers won the game. Earlham's style of play whs a revelation to the rooters and, although the visitors "roughed it" to a considerable extent, it did not aid them in their vain endeavor to win from the Quakers Quintet, but rather slowed down the game. Several times during the game time had to be taken out for the Karlhani men to recover from the falls and knocks which they received from ibe scarlet players. All Locals Were Stars. lOvcry man on the I0a:lhani team played an excellent, game and no one player could be picked as the star of the contest. Rees, the meteoric forward, played his best game of the season, and led the scarlet men a merry chase around the floor. Reagan, the scrappy little forward, worked harder and covered more floor than any other player on the two teams. Frazier at guard put up a splendid exhibition, and proved too slippery for the Wabash quintet. Furnas at back guard, had a hard proposition in the Wabash crack forwards, but he was equal to the task, time after time he broke up the scarlet's team work and kept them from shooting goal. Mote at center, played a star defensive and offensive game, and when he was not able to throw the ball from tipof? to an Farlham man. he would prevent Kbert. the star Wabash center from throwing It to one of his men.

BY A. W. TRACY. Washington, Feb. 26. Representative W. O. Barnard of the Sixth Indiana district, made his maiden spech on the floor of the House of Representatives this afternoon, when the House held special exercises accepting from the state of Indiana, the statue of Gen. Lew Wallace, which was recently unveiled in Statuary Hall of the national capitol. Several members of the Indiana delegation spoke in behalf of congress accepting the statue, among them being Representatives Crumpacker, Barnard, Morrison, Dixon, Adair and Cline. Judge Barnard, of New Cas

tle, spoke as follows: "General Lew Wallace." It seems especially fitting that in these exercises I should express a tribute to the memory of the man whose statue we today accept and place in Memorial Hall because 1 am an Indianian and share with my people a just pride in her great men and for the further reason that General Lew Wallace was born in the congressional district I have the honor to represent in this body.

The old town of Brookville. situated

Ln one of the most picturesque and

beautiful portions of the country and made historic by reason of having lo

cated in it the Land Office through

which entry was made to the lands in the new country and by reason of furnishing to the country many men who

distinguished themselves in the various walks of life, was his birthplace.

Moved to Covington, Ind. When less than five years old he removed with his family to Covington, Indiana, on the banks of the Wabash and before reaching the age when he was placed in school became the almost daily companion of the ferryman who plied his boat across the river at this point, sharing with him his noon day meal and by this association no doubt, learning lessons which were to be a strength to him in his life work. In his school days he was a normal boy, for while attending a seminary he says of himself. "The river was a siren with a song everlasting in my ears. I could hear it the day long. It seemed specially addressed to me and was at no time so sweet and irresistible as when I was struggling with the multiplication table or some abstruse rule of grammar." Didn't Like Figures. We get an insight into the character of mind it took to produce the book he wrote, when we learn that he had no taste for mathematics and made up his mind when he saw an arithmetic, that the science of numbers and himself would never "be friends, which

he says proved to be true through I

all his life and when we learn the further fact that geography appealed to him and strengthened his imagination. From its pages he learned that there were other rivers than the Wabash and that beyond great oceans there were countries peopled as was his own neighborhood. If programs made out for the youth by teachers had been always strictly enforced many of the world's greatest orations would have remained unspoken and poetry and song that is worth while would not have been written. Destined for Soldier. He seemed from his youth to be destined for a soldier for while in school he spent much time in the drawing of imaginary battlefields, and placing contending armies thereon. While yet a very young man he liecame a soldier for his country in the Mexican war and his gallantry and zeal won for him the approval of his people and distinguished him as one possessed of military genius of a high order. As Adjutant General of Indiana under the great War Governor Oliver P. Morton he bore a conspicuous part in the work of raising and equipping Indiana's first soldiers in the War of the Rebellion and finally at his earnest solicitation the military spirit within him having taken complete possession, he was permitted by the governor to leave his post and go to the front, and during the years from 61 to 65 in that great conflict, he bore such a conspicuous part as to make for himself a name as a soldier that shall last so long as there is history. Writing of "Ben-Hur." The thing that brings him nearer to the hearts of the people of today, than any of his achievements, was the writing of Ben-Hur. a book that has been translated into every modern tongue, and read by more people than anybook, save two, that have ever been penned by man. Various reasons have been assigned by lifferent persons some of which have been claimed by the authors to have been obtained from him, for his writing this book, but I believe that what appealed to his soul and took possession of, him and was the starting

point from which the story was evolved was the following from Matthew's gospel: "Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold there came Wise Men from the East to Jerusalem saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen his Star in the East and have come to worship Him." Lived in the Past. He saw and touched hands and lived with the characters of this great book as he hinibelf expressed it. He rode with Balthasar on his great white camel to the place appointed for the meeting beyond Moab. He traveled

with the three mysterious wise men on their several journeys to their place of meeting and was present and listeneJ to their introductions and explanations of how each was summoned by the Spirit to come. He sat down and ate with them in the shade of their tent and journeyed with them to Jerusalem guided by the Star. He lay with the Shepherds in their sheep fold on that first Christmas night. He saw the serene and beautiful face of Mary. He

worked as a galley slave aud drove the wonderful and beautiful horses in the chariot race. He Believed in Parties. He believed that a government such as ours would live and be perpetuated only through opposing political parties and having this belief, he was a loyal and ardent member of the political party he thought best able to administer the affairs of the reople, but he was so mindful of the rights of those who differed from him as to their opinions that he carried his partisanship without giving offense. He was a leader of men who sought and procured a following by no other means than the forte of his character and abilities as aa orator and writer. A man of convictioins and courage who indulged without bitterness or hate. The speeches and writings of the

statesman whose statue graces this

hall may be read less and less as generations succeed each other, but as long as the story of the life and mission of Jesu3 is read and believed, so long will the story of Ben Hur be read and appeal to the hearts of the people and in the years to come more will look upon the statue of General Wallace and feel that they have an acquaintance with the character of the man whom it represents, than almost any other placed about It. He discharged the duties of every public trust honestly, faithfully and with full measure. We present this monument to the

! nation as a tribute to him as soldier.

diplomat and author and in the hearts of the people who knew him best, he is enshrined as a gallant soldier, a matchless diplomat and a great author and above all an ideal citizen.
