BEST GBADE OF GOODS,
REPRESENTED.
of tke TJnicB
Cashater.
Last Friday evening- a. very large
percentage of the adult population
of tins city and numerous juven
iles assembled at tie opera, house
to witness tie gradnaring exercises
of tie High school class of 95 of
tie Isorii Platte public schools.
In lie center opening of tie stage
was tie word radafim, beauti
fully arranged in fiowers.
Tie firs torder upon tie program
was a selection by tie Gordon cor
net band, at tie concluding strains
of which promptly came marching
in tie lucky thirteen, accompanied
by a "mascot" to break tie possible
ill-luck wiici migit arise, in tiis
tie class showed itself to be more
superstitions than Gov. Holcomb,
who fust accepted an Iranarary
membership in a Thirteen club
organization in iSew xoce: city.
About tie only one ot tie number
who had no fear upon tie eubject
was Join L.. Dick, tie only male
member of tie class, wio looked
Eke one lone strawberry in a whole
pailful of cream amidst this galaxy
of femininity. He. carried in his
left Test pocket the left hind leg of
a blind rabbit which had been killed
by a colored mn-n in a graveyard at
twelve o'clock: at nijrhr durinsr tie
dark of tie moon. This fetish
rendered him invincible.
A brief and appropriate invoca
tion by Rev. W. E. Hardaway was
reverently received by the assemb
lage. C L. Adams then followed with
a vocal solo whici-was listened to
with close attention and liberally
applauded at its conclusion. Pos
sessed of ar sympathetic pleasing
baritone voice tie song was ren
dered in a manner calculated to' do
credit to tie singer.
"Cui Bono" was tie topic selected
by Minnie Sorensonrf or tie saluta
tory, and by ier hancHins of tie
subject sie no doubt convinced ier
hearers fiat life was indeed worth
living.
Jessie "M. Bratt next - foli&wed
with "No Hose can Fold Itself into
a Bud again.' Sie took tie posi
tion that even if ft were possible to
accomplish such, n frp7l- of nature
it would fee undesirable to do so,
and sie stoutly maintained tie
correctness of this position-
"The Dignity of Labor" was then
rendered by Gertrude''" Baker in a
f clear, fern and srronsr voice. Aside
from the able manner in which she
handled her subiect tie splendid
elocutionary manner in which it
was delivered caused many people
to consider this the
gem
of the
evening.
Thea M. Hansen next followed
with "Step by Step, and demon
strated that it was not t meteoric
actions that the worldowes its advancement-
but to patient, persist
ent, plodding" methods to reach an
ending' bj which progress is made.
'-Human Desires" was then treat
ed by Gertrude C Grady in a man
ner very creditable to herself and
friends, her discourse evidencing
considerable thought and careful
research.
John Lf. Dick then gave a moum-
ff-il monedram apoa '-The Coming'
Storm." which woeM be considered
as pleasingly proper by pessimistic
popuiistics- Despite the clouded
glass through which the speaker
appeared to look at upon life, his
subject "was well treated from that
standpoint, and only evidenced his
ability-to argue like a lawyer from
either side of a proposition-
Prof. EL A. Garlichs next gave 2.
splendid -solo upon the violin which
marks him as a master of the re
sonant intestine of the deceased
feline. Miss Lizzie Burke accom
panied him upas the piano in a first
class manner.
"Rust" -was the title of the next
address by Gerta' EBne. and she
treated her subject in a manner the
very opposite from what its name
would indicate, thus effectually
proving" that there is nothing- in a
name.
Francis T. McN amara then treat
ed ''Character7 in a manner which
showed a proper conception of her
subject, and evinced a line of
thought in sympathy with that of
an od Scotch writer upon the hu
man character. She cleverelv
marked the dnrerence between char
acter and reputation.
"Take not Authority for Truth,
but Truth for Authority," was the
title of the address by Charlotte I.
Osgood. The speaker weH demon
strated that the latter part of the
title was the correct theory for
human action.
Mrs. J. H. Hershey foliawed with
a vocal solo which was weS. appre
ciated, as was evidenced bv the
hearty applause given at its close
Possessed of a smooth, ..mellow
' voice, the singer is a great favorite
with jSTarth Platte people, and it is
a general regret fast her residence
will not permit them the opportun
ity of more frequently hezring; her.
"The Majesty dr'the I,aw" was
then treated iha masterful manner
by ellie 5L Grace, and her effort
was rather' in the nature of an
optimistic reply to "The Coming
Storm" which incongruously .had
preceded: Tt was a bright presen
tation or human action, and is more
probably the correct view of the
situation.
Gertfn.de J. Friend then handled
"The Verb To Be'T in all its
various moods, and she did herself
proud in the effort. She conclu
sively established that it was folly
to boast of past or future action,
but to live nd act creditably in the
present the past would become
historical, the future-Tnore or less
experimental.
"Americanism" was the title ;
under which Eva J. Fen wick de- j
liyereda number of pleasant pat
riotic platitudes, showing" that she
had an idea of the theory of our
jrovemment- "STethow widely dif-fp-rent,
in numerous mstances,, is
the practice from the theory. In
this article it is unnecessary to cite
cases of legislative action which
overthrow her idea that no law can
be enacted without the consent of
the people; yet the past and current
history of America teem with such.
The valedictory "Fin de Siecle,"
by Clara Mabel McNamara was a
crisp bright presentation of what
we may expect when the new
woman reaches the ultimatum of
her ambition. Should the valedic
torian be blessed with the sight of
a seer some startling: changes may
be anticipatai ere the close of the
Twentieth century
Prior to the presentation of the
diplomas the Rev. D. Z. Foulk de
livered a pleasing homily to the
young" people who rrejust starting
out in life to hew out k career for
themselves, after whiajj. the "much
prized parchments, were given to
the lucky thirteen. -
The cornet band theireudered a
pleasinglfttlevertureafterhich
the Juniors, who were seated in-the
east gallery, as near as ' the writer
could understand it, grot off their
class yeG as follows:
"5Tffti f eHovrs. liave crossed4 tfce- Styx.
Yoaarencw in iterrifele fcr:

which was in. the-nature of a sur
prise to- the audience, yet it was
highly enjoyed by those present.
Right here is a good place to say
that the Jtmiors are entitled to
credit for being able tu so snccess
fnliv 'cork" their exuberance of
nmmal spirits as weE as they did,
when it is remembered that next
year they wfE give jttst donble as
big a show in point of numbers
as did the graduating class of '95.

A STUDY: ET BTtriCST.
A recent Sew York paper says:
"It was not because of aa unusual
crowd on the grounds that the
opening- performance of "Black
America was a success yesterday.
The crowd was not a large one.
The 4,000 persons present found,
seats so easily that the hotsse
seemed scarcely fuH. It was not
because ot the excellence of the pro
gramme throughout that it was so
great a success.
Nevertheless, the perSormance
was a decided success. In spite of
the weather, which seemed pro
pitious in the morning and: was
anything- else in the afternoon and
evening: in spite of the drawbacks
of distance and of a kind of novelty
that the public is not accustomed
to, the initial performance of the
great show at Ambrose Park was
a remarkable success for several
reasons.
The show is an exposition, of the
