Thursday night the Phelan opera house was filled to overflowing, to lis ten to the graduates, who constituted the eighth graduating class of the Alli ance high school. The decorations in the class colors, white and green, were beautiful. The stage was a picture from dreamland. Miss Bartz and her orchestra furnished music for the open- uoiuiii . .1lltl.Ul.Il, i. 1. ..Oil. iJ, 1. ing, which alone, was worth more than the price of admission. The graduates were Anna B, Reck, Blanche Mc Donald, S. P. Smyscr, P. F. Banks, B. L. Ufford, Ada Simpson, C. V. Spacht, Anna L. Kennedy and Altna P. Hamilton. The oration of each was a masterpiece and to select any one that was superior, would be to do the other injustice. All were exception ally well prepared and well rendered, and are a credit to the city and a com pliment to Prof. Bartz and the efficient corps of teachers, who have made such excellent work possible. The musical numbers were excellent. The high school quartette did them selves proud and were heartily encored, and the duet by Miss Bertha- Hamilton and C. A. Woods, brought out rounds of applause. X The male quartectc, C. A. Woods, B. V. Reeves, R. C. McLccse and A. T. Hemingway, were htjartily encored, but Miss Bartz rendition of Faust's Fantasie, on the violin, was the treat of the evening, to cultured music lovers. R. C. Noleman, of the board of edu cation, presented the class diplomas in a speech that was both eloquent and logical. That the city was proud of her schools and her graduates was evi denced in the attention accorded them by the 700 people who crowded the opera house. May their tribe increase.

In. the case of tho United States against John and Herman Krnuse, charged with fencing government land, to come to trial Tuesday morning, as reported by tho State Journal, a romantic feature developed when Miss Minnie Morris, a school teacher of Al liance, was summoned as a witness. She as well as John Wiker, her affi anced, deeply regretted that they had been subpoenaed. Their marriage was set for about the middle of June, and they feared that the trial of tho Krnuse case would oblige them to postpone it. They thcrclorc decided to tnkc time by tho forelock and were married Satur day at Alliance, coming to Omaha on their wedding trip, and nrriving here Monday evening. They will remain in the city until after they have testified in the trial. : A letter from the department of jus tice at Washington states that two special agents from tho general land office havo been assigned to assist in the prosecution of the land fencing cases. They aio to assist B. F. Do trcs, the special "agent who has been investigating these fencing cases for a long time. All of tho special agents are to work under the direction of tho district attorney instead of under the direction of the general laud office itself. Tho two'addilidnal "agents to he sent out from Washington are M. R. Chamber and E. II. Nixon. They will go to Alliance to accumulate evi dence for use in the prosecution of tho illegal fencing matters. Bold Burglars. Sunday night between tho hours of twelve and three o'clock, or rather, early Mouday morning, four bold burg, larics w.ere committed; very little plunder was secured and the perpetrat ors made their escape. The billiard hall of W. A. Man Chester was broken into. Entrance.was effected through a rear window, the catch being pried off and tho window raised. The cash register was rified and a slot machine was broken open and about $12 in cash taken. A fesv cigars were also carried away. "Dad" Johnson's billiard hall was also raided, entrance being made by bursting open the rear door. Only one mau appeared in this case as after opening the place he made straight for the cash drawer but when about half way across the room ho met Mr. John son who had been sleeping in tho room. When close enough to grab the fellow, "Dad" asked what was wanted and at the same time grabbed at the burglar who got away suddenly and as no light was available and "Dad" was without a gun, the fellow made his escape. The next place entered was the Dierks Lumber company's office. The rear door was broken open, the lock being torn off. The cash drawer was rifled and the contents scattered oyer the floor. The only thing secured were a few cents in cash, which had been taken in for weighing tho day before. No effort was piade to get into the big safe. The Alliance Meat Market was also visited by he night prowlers and here the burglars entered by the front door, which they forced open. With the exception of a ham and a little meat, nothing was molested. The caa'h reg ister was empty, At no place did the burglars leave any clue as to their identity and the police have no cluo except the tracks made in the mud in the rear of John son pool hall. "Dad" says had he been armed there would have been one burglar less in this vicinity. Russian Fleet Sunk Admiral Togo Sunk and Captured 22 Vessels of The Russian Fleet and Admiral Itojcslvcnsky.
