BACCALAUREATE
SERMON IS GIVEN
AT riJCHURCH
CHURCH FILLED WITH MEMBERS
OF CLASS TO HEAR SPE
CIAL SERMON.
From Mouday'a Dany.
Last evening the annual Bacca
laureate services of the graduating
class of the high school was held at
the First Methodist church which
had been selected by the class for
this year and for the occasion the
church was very handsomely deco
rated with the spring flowers and
made a beautiful scene for the im
pressive services that marked the
occasion.
The members of the class, number
ing some forty-three, were seated at
the front of the auditorium and
made a very attractive appearance
with their youthful faces and the
bright costumes of the ladies ming
ling with the more sedate garb of
the young men made a picture that
was deeply impressive and the ear
nest manner in which the classmates
received the able sermon showed
their deep interest in this important
function of the commencement week.
The service was opened with the
processional, "Onward Christian
Soldiers," to which the members of
the class made their entrance into
the church and was followed by the
moment of silent prayer in which
the individuals offered up their sup
plication to the Master.
Following the "Gloria" the audi
ence joined in the singing of "Amer
ica" which was a fitting patriotic
touch to the service and truly in
spiring as the eye of the beholder
met the flag of the republic stand
ing in the placu of honor on the
platform beside the clergy of the
city.
The opening prayer was offered by
Rev. H. Kottlch of the St. Pauls
Evangelical church.
The choir of the church compris
ing some of the most talented mu
sicians of the city gave the anthem,
"By - Babylon's -Wave." that . was - a
pleasing touch to the program.
The Rev. W. .S. Leete, rector oi
St. Luke's Episcopal church, gave
the scripture lesson of the service in
his usual " impressive ; manner and
which served as a fitting prelude to
the sermon of the service.
The pastor of the church, Rev.
Calvert, delivered a very able ser
mon in which he brought forcibly
to the attention of the young peo
plethe need of the love of God in
the hearts of man and the realiza
tion of true manhood and woman
hood in the acceptance of the teach
ings of the faith and which would
be found of the greatest force iu
their lives in the years to come, when
as men and women they took up the
duties of life.
Following the anthem, "Remem
ber Now Thy Creator" by the choir,
the services were closed by the bene
diction by the pastor of the Chris
tian church. Rev. A. G. Hollowell.
MRS. H. W. SMITH IN
VERY SERIOUS SHAPE
Taken Sick Saturday Morning, the
Patient Seems to be Suffering
From a Former Illness.
From Monday's Dal!v.
The family and friends of Mrs. H.
W. Smith have been greatly worried
the past two days over the condi
tion of this lady, following a very
sudden illness that first was notic
ed on Saturday morning and which
grew in severeness until for some
time the recovery of the patient was
in doubt but fortunately Mrs. Smith
rallied so as to give more encour
agement as to her recovery and has
since shown some improvement.
Several months ago Mrs. Smith
suffered from an attack of sleeping
sickness that kept her confined to
her home for several weeks and dur
ing which time her condition baf
fled the attending physicians, and
the present attack resembles in many
respects the first as the patient was
unconscious for several hours.

father, who is now well advanced in
years and has not been in the most
robust health for some time past.
The many old friends here are hope
ful that Mr. WTescott, Sr., will be
able to rally from his illness and en
joy many more years of happiness

his work here until ill health com
pelled him to lay aside his labor and
spend his last days in the effort to
recover his healthy but which proved
unsuccessful. During ail of the yean;
that the family has made their home
here they have made many warm
friends by their traits of nobility ex

fellow men and these friends and
neighbors share with the bereaved
wife the deep sorrow that the death
of this splendid Christian gentle
man has brought with it.
To mourn the death of Mr. Neff

CARNIVAL CLOSES-,:.
ITS ENGAGEMENT
AND DEPARTS
Closing Day is Well Patronized and
Everyone Seems . Very Well
Pleased with Results.
The week's stand here of the Do
minion Exposition company, was brot
to a close Saturday night with one
of the largest crowds of the entire
week present. The company seems
to have given very general satisfac
tion to the public that filled the mid
way from the opening until the close
and especially on Saturday all the
shows did a good business.
The company was one that caussd
little trouble from the general line
of followers that usually come with
attractions of this kind and aside
from a slight disturbance on the
grounds in the closing hours of the
carnival there was nothing to mar
the smoothness of the occasion.
The Legion had special police on
the Job r s well as Chief Barclay and
Sheriff Quinton being present each
evening and this aided in making the
visit here one of the most peaceful
that has characterized any of the
carnivals of the past.

decidedly in the rough, and as the
result the Pacific Junction sluggers

in fielding the grounders that bounc

therefore the Iowa team added many
scores to their list. Frank Gradoville
