LIVELY BOUTS AI
SEVENTH COMPANY
EXCTNG
SMOKER
The Seventh com pan), at It arm
or) last night, prosented a program
of athletic events, undor the rulos
ot amateur sports, that proved n suc
roiilon of thrills to tlio 300 attend
ants. It was probably tho most ox
citing smoker, from start to finish,
tho company linn yet put on. Fans
from Central Point ami Hold Hill
wera numerous mul rntliuslaatlc. In
fact, the athletic clubs of those places
supplied n number of the most In
teresting feature of the bill.
Too evening of sport was oponcil
with a tabloid boxing contest, be
tween two Central Point lads about
12 years of age that was a huuunor.
Tho bantles didn't loaf a minute dur
ing tho four speedy rounds. Neither
was afraid of punishment and each
showed considerable knowledge of
tho science, of the manly art. Ii. (1.
Worthlngton. tho referee of the
events, decided It a draw. The paper
decision wont to I.) on, on a smnll
mnrgiu.
I". of O. rlmtnplon Won
The. main event In tho wrestling
class was between Harold Prostel,
champion lightweight wrestler of the
l'nl erally of Oregon, and W. ('. Kd-
mttiid of Hold Hill, champion In that
division for southern Oregon. The
coutost was for the championship of
western Orogon. I'reslel won on ag
gressiveness, neither being able to
scoro a fall. Tboy went two stren
uous rounds of six minutes each. It
was a clean, skilful contest, the Oold
Hill bov surprising many by his clev
er escapo from mnny dangerous sit
uations. Preslol's iiggroslvonoss
thinughout tho contest guvo him the
derision by a light shade.
Tim Indian style of wrestling, an
demonstrated by Illg Chief l.aldloy
and Running Wolf Powell was won
by tho latter In a match replete with
merriment. The "hear scratch' con
test followed closely between Hone
and Maddov at one end of tho blan
ket and Mug and Stacy at the other.
It was n full minute full of fun, when
tribal relations woro severed by
Hose's roleasc of tho blanket.
mother's Classy Contest
Tlio wrestling bout between Will
Ileverldgo and his brothor, I.cland
lleveildge, for tho lightweight cham
pionship of Seventh company, was
won by tho former with two falls In
throe. It was probably tho fastest
wrestling bout of tho evening. It
was a case of notion every minute.
Will welKhod 183; l.eland 18. It
was a good exhibition of cleverness
and endurauro.
The principal glove contest was
the bout between Joss Ingram of
Central Point and (ioorgo Peart of
Seventh company. A spurt of ele
mentary scientific work cullvaned tho
mill, which was fast and earnest.
Penrt was tho nggrossor In the first,
but Ingram was faster and a little
moi o certain in his aim, employing
body blows to nIow Peart up consid
erably. At the and of n fast on
fuiv.cme.nt It was called a draw, but
the paper derision would have gone
to Ingram on points.
Tho jlii Jltsu style of wrestling was
demonstrated by a clever coutost
between N'Mkalanl, graduate of the
national school of Toklo, and l.e
land Deverldge, the only man In Sev
enth company who would volunteer to
tackle the muscular Japanese In the
bout. There are no points In this
stylo of contest except endurance.
Neither has won until the othor gives
up. l.eland ijeld Prof. Nakatanl to
several pretty plays in the demonstra
tion, but hod to give up finally. Kach
threw tho other over his head a time
or two In a flash of spectacular exer
tion, but of courso the Japanese was
waster of the situation at all times.
'Tjie middleweight wrestling cham
pionship of southern Oregon - was
won by Clark of Central Point,
against Jacobs of Oold Hill, In a fast
and close contest. Uoth men showed
development ot strength and consid
erable knowledge of the real sclonoe
of the gamo. They are both eoniors
in that line of technical athletics.
The log-wrestling exhibition bo
tween Maddox and Ling was won by
Maddox In less than two minute.
The Japanose anklo wiostling be
tween Will Ilevortdge and Laldly was
wan b the former.
Serxt. Purdin quickly demonstrat
ed that he could pull with greater
strength with his hands than Archie
Parker could with his teeth.
Altogether, the smoker covered two
and a half hours of royal sport.

the surplus .students. '
Progress III Departments
lYoni the time of opening school I
last fall special emphasis' has been
placed on the work of the viuimm de
partments. The commercial depatt
iiitmt has been leorgunizcd and
Hticngthened, thus making it more nt
Iraetive to students. An effoit has
been made to fit student., graduating
trom this depaitment, tor life. AI
ready .students are working extra
hours in downtown ofliees, while oth
ers have already positions engiiKcd at
graduation time. Six new typewrit
ers nud a new lidding machine were
recently added to the department.
The commercial room has been equip-
ped with regular commercial- senls.
Office piaetice has been installed and
ute being initiated into the inMctics
of correspondence, bunking, letter
nud card filing.
.Manual Training Work
The manual training depaitment is
now under a new head. The work is
being reorganized. A new assistant
is heinjr added and tho work of me
chanical drawing will he closely cor
related with this department. The
students are just completing the con
struction of twenty-fivo or more
large rustic seats and tables which
are lo be placed in tho city park.
The more advanced studcntH have
made several nrtieloH of furniture,
aiii'li as filing cases ami tables for
the principal's and superintendent's
offices. Mnikcd aptitude is shown in
this work by many of the students.
The special interest they manifest in
it nud the faithful care they exert
show pructiial capacity in rapid de
velopment mid a sense of the wiluo
of precision.
Domestic Science Popular
The school management desenes
congratulation on the manner in
which it has inspired special interest
in the domestic science department.
A visit to this deparli'leut at lunch
hour will pioe a sui prising i evolu
tion to those who have not interested
themselves in it sufficiently to ascer
tain what it is really accomplishing.
For the first time it has worked out'
the problem of hot lunches for the
students without a loss. From forty
to titty of the students take advan
tage of this opportunity. A full meal
is now served and not a dish of
anything: costs over I cents. The
girl students aie ortrunixed into
groups of two ami llnoe. The gioitp
is icnpniiHihlc for the buying, cook
ing, -erviug and the Mi.Miieut of all
bills. They plan the menu for the
tiny and are sent to the markets to
bargain for the foodstuffs, later my
iug for the Mime, thus connecting (w
duties of the home very closely with
those of that department.
Domestic Ait Itcpui Uncut
The depaitment of domestic aits
has been much strengthened. Ilesides
garment -making, the work of home
management, millinery, designing and
cutting and lilting are now taught the!
advanced students; although much
empiiasir, placed upon skill in
hand-sewing and needlework, the
older pupils use the sewing machines
to gieat advantage. Thus tho fund
nmentHU in the subdivisions of this
department aro not only taught the
oretically, hut they aro put to prac
tical application, us thev are in the
manual tiaiuiug and domestic science
dojwrtments. This intensified inter
est in tho theory and fidelity in the
work of applying it practically. The
value of (be lessons thus taufrht may
not bo easily overostininted when ear
ned into tho work of tho home life.
Tests .Show Hfflulcnry
In the elementary grade close su
pervision liss been given, not so
much to criticise, but to locate the
weak places in (be course of study
ami to reconstruct and sireugtbeu
them. The absolute Jiecessity of a
complete mastery of the fundamental

provlous trials of Mrs. Anna Ilooth
and William Hranson, for tho alleged
slaying ot William Ilooth, the wom
an's husband, again became the con
fer of interost at Mrs. Ilooth's trial
today, when Coroner Tilbury, testi
fying as to what his investigations
had diselotod Immediately following
tho murder, said that he had found
tho "rat" at tho scene of the tragedy
and that It was foimd to match In
color and texture similar articles
which Mrs. Ilooth had worn. The
ooronor also testified that ho had
compared Mrs. Ilooth's shoes with
tho foot-prints of a woman found
noar Ilooth's body and had found that
tboy matched.
Members of the grand jury aked
Coroner Tilbury and other wltnoMefl

a sjKxiiifiil of salts occasionally to keep
duwu uric acid.
Khctitustlsui is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which it gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of tho
kidneys to filter this arid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the sk:n arc aUo a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid

weak and slugffUh and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keens accumulating
and circulating througli the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness ami
