Commencement.
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.
Mrs. Ray's Sudden Death.
The community was shocked Mon
day evening, to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. Chas. W. Raw" the
young wife of Rev. Ray, pastor of
the M. E. church. No premonition of
her death came to warn the husband
or friends. The grim reaper came
quietly and suddenly. Mrs. Ray had
been in excellent health and spirits and
was expecting' to become a mother
some time in July. Sunday she at
tended services at her husband's church
Lofowhich'Shp4atafl,.his4ielpirratc. - Mon
day morning she attended to her du
ties as usual, and toward noon, feeling
indisposed had her family physician
call, who prescribed a sedative. After
eating a hearty meal as usual, she re
clined on a couch near the study room
and in plain sight of her husband,
where she slept peacefully. The du
ties of the physician taking him past
the home about 4 o'clock he looked in
and found the husband busy at his
desk preparing his sermon and thinking
his wife still peacefully sleeping. The
doctor approached the couch on which
she lay and was horrified to find her
dead, a case of heart failure,
Words fail to express the' grief of
the heartbroken husband. Her mai
den name was Clara Belle Watson and
uiey were marneu only about a year
ago. Funeral services were conducted
at the church by Presiding Elder Clark
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, after
which the remains were shipped to
Indiana for interment

Land Fencing Case.
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.
