Morrison, Josie Itothrock, Ketta Ajerf Graduating Exercises. The graduating exorcises of tho Red Cloud High school were held at tho opera house last Friday night and tho house was filled to its full capacity. Tho hall and stage were neatly deco rated with l ho class colors. As Miss Wert phiyed h march tho class, headed by Mrs Caso, superin tendent; Miss Ellis and Miss Duckor, principal and assistant principal, marched up tho center aisle, dividing to tho right and left, and took their places upon tho stago Tho class sang In chorus, "School Festival Song" and Rov. Davis delivered the invoca tion of Divine blessing. George Peterson, salutatorian, had for his subject "Reflections on Agri culture." His oration do.tlt with tho progress of improvement in methods of farming in this and other countries, and was a very thorough exposition of tho difference between tho methods which now prevail and those of a half century to a contury ago. While Mr Peterson appeared to bo slightly em barrassed at tho beginning of his oration, as ho became warmed to his subject ho showed real olcquonco Tho next number on tho pro j nun was "Song of tho Vikings," by a quar tet composed of Messrs. L. P. and G. S Albr ght, Misses Jossio Wrt and Jossio Duckor, which received a hearty encore Miss Vera Crabill, as hor part of tho graduating exercises, rendered "Sua waneo River," .very prettily on tho piano, and responded to a hearty encoro with Godard's second vnlso Tho subject of Miss Mary Damerell's essay was "A Comparison of Enoch Arden and Silas Mnrner." Sho very touchingly told tho history of Enoch Anion's sad lovo story and its still sadder ending, showing his self sacri fice and trust in God, comparing it with Silas Marnor's very different mauuor of accepting revereses and his utter loss of faith in tho goodness and moroy of tho Creator. Miss Jessie Duckor, assistant, princi pal of tho high school, sang "A Gipsy Maiden I," and was heartily encored. Ross Brooks' oration, "Americau Contributions to Civilization," was well prepared ami delivered in a man ner which gives promise of his somo day becoming an orator of ability. Mr. Brooks cited many of tho improve ments in steam locomotion, electrical engineering, the telegraph, grapha phono farm machinery, etc., as examples of what tho United States had contributed to tho advancement of civilization. Ho concluded with a prediction that tho women of America would some day bo given tho right to hold ofllco, and expressed tho belb-f that Miss Mamie Ellis would bo tho first woman president, with Miss Duckor as vice president, and various members of tho class of '0." wero assigned to positions in tho cabinet, Mr. Brooks' oration was followed by a solo by L. "P. Albright. Tho crowning number of tho gradu ating program wus tho valedictory oration of Miss Blancho Pope, "Edu cational Standards of tho United States and Germauy." Miss Pope gave a very clear analysis of tho edu cational standards of the two coun tries, bhowing that sho had carefully studied her subject, and tho composi tion itself showed considerable lltorury merit Hor oration closed with a few well chosen words of thanks to tho teachers, ami tho class farowoll. In presenting the diplomas to tho graduating class, Mrs. Caso paid thorn a high tribute for the good showing mado in thoir studios and predicted for them long and useful careors as men and women. Mrs. Caso also took occasion to announce that tho event BUY A. FLEMING SWINGING STACKER This Stacker will olovato hay 28 feet high and placo it anywhere on an 18x10 rick. A horso walks half tho distance less than on an overshot stacker. This Is not a hay dumper, as most stackers aro, but will put your hay where you v.ant it, and saves ono man on the stack. POPE BROS. was in tho nature of a farowoll for herself as well as tho pupils to the schools of Rod Cloud, after twenty years of successful work In various capacities. Tho class sang "Graduates' Fare well," and tho exorcises wero closed with tho benediction by Rov. Davis Tho members of tho class who took no individual part in the graduating exercises aro: Misses Edna Williams, Hazel Lippincott, lone Albright, Etta Keillor, Messrs. Lloyd Bradbrook and Harry Cramer, all of whom would no doubt have acquitted themselves us creditably as their brother and sister mem' ors of tho class had there been stifllciont time for them to deliver their orations and essays. Irwin Pleads Guilty. V. S Irwin, alias Black, tho horse thief captured In Sutton, Nob , mid returned to Red Cloud Saturday, pleaded guilty to tho charge in tho district court Wednesday and Judge Adams sentenced him to four years in tho penitentiary. Shi-riff Smith and County Attorney Stinor of Clay county deserve much credit for tho'r promptness in securing the arrest of Irwin and tho assistance they gave in gathering evidenco which would aid in convicting him had tho caso come to trial. Irwin, who was an organizer for tho Royal Highlanders as well as book agent, had a run of hard luck and be came financially embarrassed.

The Barker Case. Predictions are made that tin re will be some further developments in the Frank Barker case. Attorney Hanior of Kearney spout some time in the death coll this morn iik, audit is be lieved that ho will make auother elfort to induce Warden Beomor to report to tho judge of tho district court that ho l elioves tho niau is insane Tho olli cals who have been connected with tho caso say that this is tho only stop left of tho man's sriends. The anxiety of tho warden to put olf tho hanging is regarded as a factor. He has annou nced several times that he believed Barker was insane, but lately, because f official admonition, has eased to take such au active part in tho dis. cussion.
