MODERN CLASS DAY FULL OF HUMOR

itIIIi l)etluy.
What would have been known In the
nineteenth century as the commencement
exercises of the High school graduating
class, but which aro now denominated as
"class-day exorcises, wcro presented be
fore a crowded house at the Orpheum the
ater last night. Tho change, however, un
llko the summur drink, was not confined
to tho name alone. Thcro wero many tie
elded departures from tho old style com
mencement progrnm. Tho snlutatorlau,
tho class and tho class historian were not
In evldonce. The graduates wcro evidently
convinced that Interest no longer centers
in tho geographical location of Italy with
reference to tho Alps. Tho essay tied with
the pink ribbon was rolcgated to tho lum
ber room of tho past and oven tho patrl
otic oration, treating of matters Interna
tlonal and dlplomnttc In a manner highly
humiliating to foreign powers, was no
longer a top-llncr, but rather a "filler"
to add dlvorslty and dignity to tho pro
gram. Tho class realized the futility of
climbing tho ladder of fame by so unstable
a footing as the rounds of applause.
Iliiintir Hip ProvnilliiK Mcntliitrnt.
Humor was tho dominant sentiment of the
"class day exercises," a wclcomo exchange
for the funereal grandeur of tho old time
commencement. Tho class prophecy, for
example, Instead of being read from a
manuscript, was presented In a Shako-
sporlan travesty. A soldier of fortune,
traveling through a haunted wood by night,
encounters tho witches of Macbeth grouped
about their cauldron, and at his request
they do a few Incantations for him by call
ilng up visions of class members as they
will bo In futuro years. Tho visions appear
In the form of living pictures. Not nil tho
members of tho class nro destined to leave
their marks on famo's eternal camping
'ground, If tho cvldcnco of tho tableaux Is
,to bo accepted. Many of them appeared In
the humbln roles of cook, chambermaid,
nurse or waitress, and ono young man as
sayed tho part of n box car tourist.
Tho class co'or drill was n beautiful num
ber, -bolng participated In by slxteon young
women, garbed In v.hlto Grecian robes and
bearing garlands of flowers. To tho strains
of a march played very creditably by tho
High school orchestra they moved through
tho mazes of a kind of military dance. This
number was heartily npplaudcd.

Another dainty .feature of the evening
wbb "How Grandma Danced tho Minuet,"
.by Miss Anna' Carter. Dressed In a pink
silk gown of colonial pattern sho courtcslod
'and tripped through the stately dance with
cxqulslto grace
The presentation of a picture, "The
Guardians of the Tcmplo," from the class
tho High school, was mido by Miss Doth
Wallace, to which Principal Waterhouse re
sponded. Tho remaining numbers wore somewhat
moro In keeping with the traditions of a
commencement program. There, for ex
ample, was the address of wclcomo by tho
f class president, (rnur. Sohrelbcr, who, In
behalt of his colaborators, thanked those
present for tho interest they had mani
fested In" the class and tho school. Tho
oration, "Young Men In tho Twentloth
Century," by Burdotto Lewis was both con
ventional, nnd original. He took an optl
mlstlo view of tho future, seeing no men
ace to tho young man In tniBts or com
bines, but rather a superior means of forg
ing to tho front in the financial and com
mercial' worlds. Arthur Jorgenson deliv
ered an oration on tho "Blue nnd the
Gray," which gave ovldcncn of much caro
ful thought nnd patriotic feeling.
Valedictorian Telia of Pilgrimage.
Miss Mllllcent Stebblns was tho valedlc
terlan. In allegory Bho told the story of
tho strugglo through the various grades,
portraying tho pupils as pilgrims and tho
teachers as guides.
Piano solos, "Elfensplel," by Miss Alice
Towne, and "Farewell, My Dear Old
Home," by Miss Aleno McKachron, were
exquisitely rendered. Miss Robs Shane
sang a solo In well modulated contralto, and
Miss Mary Hlgglns doltvcrod a recitation,
"Aleck Tells a Bear Story," with excollent
effect, seemingly fully Imbued with tho
spirit which Riley Intended.

STODDARD SHARES IN THE MERGER
Parlln-Orendorft nnd Oliver Chilled
. Are Still Avrnlted, but l'rc
llniliinrlea Are All Ar-rnnfied.
The formation of the American Plow
company, the concern which is to take over
tho control of the majority of tno piow mo
toric of the United States, Is moving for
ward ranldly and ono company, the Stand
nrd Manufacturing company of Dayton, O.,
has been added to the list of firms which
are to loin. The managers of the new com
pany are still waiting for the final action of
the Varlln-Orendorff company and the
Ollv-r Chilled Tlow company, which have
tho matter of merger under consideration.
It Is said that tho preliminaries have been
arranged to the satisfaction of tho United
States Mortgage and Trust company, which
Is to finance the deal, but that before nego
tiations could bo carried to this point It was
necessary to change the agreement which
was formulated somo tlmo ago. The changed
agreement provides thot the constituent
compnnles are to be taken In on tho basis of
tho Inventories of 1900, the now company
to take over the different plants July 1, and
to allow each company the. profits accruing
between tho tlmo of tho Inventory of 1900
nnd tho time the companies aro absorbed.
The profits of tho current year are to go In
as part of tho assets of the company and are
to be paid for by the new company upon
tho same basis as It buys tho other assets.
In other words, the constituent companies
aro to receive full value of their Inventories
of 1900, and then tho profits from 1900 to
July 1, 1901, In cash or preferred stock, as
may bo determined.
Slock Dividend Goes Too.
In addition to tho $35,000,000 In preferred
stock which will be paid to tho stockhold
ers In tho constituent companies they will
receive a bonus of 60 per cent of tho par
valuo of the plant In common stock. Com
mon stock to tho amount of 40 per cent Is
set aside for tho settlement of the good will
value. This valuo is to be .ascertained by
computing the net profits of each concern
for threo nnd ono-half years, ending Juno 1.
Tho common Btock will nggrcgato $10,000,000
In value.
According to the present agreement the
holders of stock In tho constituent com
panies will deposit their stock with the
United States Mortgage and Trust company,
New York, on or beforo Juno 20, nnd when
a majority of the stock has been deposited
the trust company will call a meeting of
tho certificate holdors for tho purposo of
electing officers of the new corporation.
Previous to this tho corporation will be In
corporated under tho laws of New Jersey.
At the present tlmo expert auditors aro
at work on the books of tho companies
which have agroed to enter tho combina
tion. Thoy aro now at work at the Peoria
office of Kingman & Co., nnd when they
have complotcd that ofllco may come to
Omaha to check over tho books at this
office. Other auditors will probably visit
tne local offices of tho other companies to
enter tho combination, but when this will
be done no ono can tell, as there Is no
means of knowing how long It will take the
auditors to ascertain the Information thnv
desire.
It Is said that J. Harley Bradley of the
David Bradley Manufacturing company may
be president of tho now concern and that
Charles H. Deere of Deere & Co. will prob
ably be chairman of the executive commit
tee. Each concern will havo a member on
tho board of directors.
South Omaha News
All that remains to secure a roadway to
the river Is for the city council to author
ize the drawing of a warrant for $100 in
favor of Herman Kountze. Tho street nnd
alley committee of tho council now has
under consideration a proposition from Mr.
Kountze to dedlcato to tho city of South
Omaha aout 1,800 feet of roadway. This
dedication will open Missouri avenue to
tho river. In addition to opening a line to
tho river the city will bo saved $25 a
month, which It now pays for tho priv
ilege of renchlng tho city dump. A day
or two ago a committee of city officials
waited upon Mr. Kountze for the purposo
of talking tho matter over. This commit
tco was made up of Mayor Kelly, W. P.
Adklns and Joseph Dworak. After talking
the matter over for some time Mr. Kountze
agreed to dedlcato to tho city a strip of
land from Thirteenth street east to tho
river In consideration of $100.
This wns at once agreed to by the com
mittee and a communication signed by Mr.
Kountzo was forwarded to tho council. It
Is now In tho hands of the street and alloy
committee and will doubtless be roported
on at tho meeting to bo held next Monday
night. Mr. Kountze stipulates that the city
must build a substantial fence on each sldo
of the road to be dedicated nnd also to
build gates on either side, as ho may des
ignate. A description of tho land to bo
dedicated Is given along with tho notation
that tho land Is to bo moro definitely do
scribed when properly surveyed and laid
out.
Tho city council will of courso accopt tho
offer and draw a warrant for tho amount
asked. President Adklns of tho council
said yesterday that he had worked hard
on tho proposition for some time and ho
considered the offer of Mr. Kountze ono
which should bo accepted without delay.
Tho $100 demanded was little enough to
pay, he said, for tho land to be acquired.
As for the city complying with tho condi
tions Imposed, Mr. Adklns said that the
sum required to build the fences nnd gates
would soon bo recovered by the city not
having to pay ront for a garbago dump.
Members of the Pontoon Bridge company
aro pleased at the result of the negotia
tions and it was stated yesterday that as
soou as tho necessary legat steps wore
tnken a ferrybont would be placed In
operation. Later on a pontoon bridge will
be erected.
When a direct lino to the river Is com
pleted the Burlington will bo called upon
to erect a depot at or near tho foot of Mis
souri avenue In compliance with promises
mado In the past. A street car line along
Missouri avenuo Is soon to be constructed
and It Is stated that beforo the summer Is
over thcro will bo direct communication
with Iowa from the foot of Missouri avenue.
Not All In.
Only eight-six liquor dealers have paid
their license money Into the city treas
urer. Chief Mitchell notified several de
linque'its a few days ago to come forward
with their money or else close up, but the
order has been disregarded by some. Only
two druggists have followed t,he orders of
the council In the matter of securing li
censes, it Is understood that tho Board
of Education will now tako hold of this
matter and force the council to secure com
pliance with the laws governing the Is
suing of licenses,
Hoard of Review.
The Board of Review continues In ses
slon dally and yesterday many complaints
were received and filed for future consid
eration. Nearly every one seems to be
coniplatuiog on the assessment and the lot
of the tax commissioner Is not a happy
one. Owners of small homes are entering
complaints and assert that their assessment
Is not In nccordnnco with the law. Many
of these property onors who complain de
clare that their property has been assessed
at one-fifth Its value, whllo tho big cor
porations got off with an asscsment of
about one-thlrtleth.
So far tho members' of the Bo.ird of Re
view have not Indicated what will bo done
about cither raising or lowering the as
sessment. No Council .MiM-tliiK,
Only three members of the council
showed up last night, and, consequently,
there was not meeting. The Idea of hold- i
lng a meeting In the middle of the week
was to sign charges against Tax Commis
sioner J. J. Fitzgerald. On account of
City Attorney Lnmbert being out of the
city tho documents In the case were not
completed, therefore there was no necessity
for a meeting of the council.
It was fctated last night that there would
be no difficulty In securing tho signatures
of threo members of the council nnd the
mayor to tho chnrges, which aro to bo filed
in the district court.

Russell B. Harrison, formerly a lleuten
ant colonel In tho United States volunteer
army, and son of former President Ben
jamin Harrison, was seen last night at the
residence of Mrs. Alvln Saunders, 200S
Sherman avenue, where he Is visiting for
a few days. He said:
"I consider that my discharge was very
unjust, arbitrary and unusual, I was dis
charged In Porto Rico on six days' notice
and Just six days after election. I was
denied sufficient time to complete my
records and by a military order directed to
leave the Island.
"No volunteer officer of tho late war re
ceived such treatment nnd 1 wns naturally
surprised nnd Indignant. I promptly
cabled, asking for a court of inquiry, but
my request thus fnr has been Ignored. The
War department, about tho time of my
discharge, gave to tho press ns a reason
that there wns a necessity of cutting down
tho volunteer forces, yet the Wnr depart
ment officials did not candidly state that
they had made a now appointment to my
position the day It wns mado vacant.
"If I had been a regular I would not
havo been treated In this manner. Having
entered tho volunteer army from patriotic
reasons, nnd, having made n good record,
which nearly cost me my life at Santiago
de Cuba, I do not propose to submit to
such unjust nnd unfair treatment and ftm
actively conducting my fight for a hear
ing nnd Justice. I nm not saying much
about tho matter for publication, but In
duo tlmo tho country will learn all tho
facts."
Colonel Harrison declined to discuss tho
relntlons of his father to tho administra
tion on tho Porto Rlcan question or the
appointment of Justice McKenna's son to
the vacancy caused by his discharge.
Many of the war societies have adopted
resolutions upholding Colonel Harrison's
contentions and are lending him assistance
in his efforts to secure a hearing. Tho
press of Indiana, without regard to poli
tics, Is championing his cause and Insist
ing that he should be accorded the same
rights and treatment as tho officers of tho
regular army.
Colonel Harrison wns called to Omaha by
tho Illness of his little son, who has been
with Mrs. Harrison for two months at the
homo of her mother, Mrs. Alvln Saunders.
It was feared that an operation on his
ear would bo necessary, but the presont
outlook Is so encouraging that It will prob
ably not be necessary. Colonel Hnrrlson
nnd family will return soon to their home
In Indianapolis.
