Commencement Excrciscj.
The sixteenth annual commence
ment of the North Patte high
school was held at the opera house
Tuesday evening before an aud
ience that almost filled the Beating
capacity of the building. The
curtain was raised at 8;45 and on
the stage were seated the fourteen
graduates, the members ot the
board ot education, the high school
instructors and two of the local
clergy. Oycrhead in the rear of
the stage was placed the motto of
the class, "Forward, Guide Right,"
the letters of which were formed of
incandescent lights, and in
front were draped the class colors
red and white. The stage pre
sented a very pretty appearance.
The exercises opened with an in
vocation by Rev. Mr. Greenlee,
followed with a selection by the
Arion Octette. A.s Fenna Caroline
Bccler, the salutatonau, stepped to
the f rout of the stage she received
generous plaudits from the audi
ence. Miss Bcelcr is a orient, win
some young lady, and her addrcb
was well prepared and delivered in
clear and distinct tones.
The address delivered by Rev.
John F. Seibert was one renlete
with good advice, the subjects
being treated largely along spirit
ual lines. Particularly effective
were his remarks on the need of
confidence.
Mrs. J. II. Ilcrshev rendered a
solo sweetly and with much exprcs
ston and responded to an eucorc.
Miss lone Lcnore Neir, who
passed the highest examination
and therclorc became valedictorian,
delivered a well prepared address
and was greeted with applause
from the audience; evidence that
she occupied a warm place in the
hearts of her hearers.
A solo by Ira L. Bare was fol
lowed by the presentation of di
plomas by v, lu. uuiinrd, accom-
panyn g the game by well-timed
remarks.
1 11 c exercises closed witti a se
lection by the octette and the bene'
diction by Rev. Seibert.
With the closing or these exer
cises, nine young ladies and live
young men cuter upon the stem
realities ot life. To successfully
combat the opposition which they
will in et on the road to a success
tul life will require couraire, ambl
tion, confidence. We believe that
each member of the class possesses
these and that thev will win, and
win handsomely. The people ot
North Pialte feel a justifiable pride
in the class of 1902--tUey expect
much trom them, and we believe
there will be no disappointment.

Lands Not to bs Leased.
At the instance ot J. II. 13d-
mistcn, Congressman Neville has
made an inquiry at the interior de
partment as to whether or not it
was the purpose of the government
to lease lands designated as forest
reserves and withdrawn trom
homestead entry. Mr. Neville has
been advised by the secretary that
there is absolutely no foundation
for the rumor which is current in
Nebraska that these lands will be
leased, as there is no law in exist
ence authorizing the leasinir of
lauds within forest reseryes.
