The Northwestern last week print ed the graduat ion invitations of the -enior class of our high school. The j invitations selected by the class were the daintiest and neatest that could have been selected and reflect much credit on the taste of the graduates. A. B. Morgan of Pottawattamie county.

The fire was dis j covered only after the flames had ' broken through the roof and gotten , such headway the building could not ' be saved. Fortunately there was no wind and the tire laddies with ample i streams of water had the lire out in ' haif an hour. The building was | owned by Geo. Woznick and was in jsured.

Nightingale bv in vitation addressed the high school Monday morning on the life and death of King Edward of England, whose death occurred last Fridav. Mr. Nightingale touched upon tlie reproachful life of Prince Edward up to the time of his acession to the throne, of his unimpeachable life during the ten years of his reign, in which lie justly earned the title of • Edward the Peacemaker." in his diplomatic relations with other countries, thus paving the way for universal peace. He closed his ad dress by comparing the correct moral and ideal life of Theodore Roosevelt from childhood to the present with that of tne profligate existence of Prince Edward, his allusion to the 1 “greatest commoner this world has [ ever known” eliciting the applause I of our boys and girls, his closing ap peal to the scholars to emulate the ! life of Roosevelt, rather than that of | the prince, who by his evil life and { waywardness tiad so greatly shortened his span of life, closing his career at the early age of 6t* years, when be should have been in the very prime of the great existence before him, winning a place in the very best nature of the boys and girls who had listened earnestly to his short address, and which will undoubtedlv bear 1 fruit in the correctness of the lives of usefulness into which they are but just entering. !
