Last night's commencement exor
cists consisted of music by the high
Hebool ohorus and girls qvmitet and a
lecture by Dr. Turner, president or
Hastings college, on -Education That
Educates." Ho said that -cnif oi me
grtatest numbskulls he had ever met
had diplomas from soma of our great
est institutions of learning, while some
of the most cultured he had met had
probably never seen tho inside of a
oollege, showing that simply because
a man graduates from a cidl-i' he is
not necessarily smart. He "aid that
young school children's parent should
not worry about the occupation their
children are to follow, but should eo
that they became well educated so
thy would be prepared for whatever
t.urutd up.
The exercises were opened by a song
from the high school chorus. IJev.
(Jrehsman gave tho invocation ud then
in a neat speech presented the speaker
of the evening
E. J. Overing was taken suddenly ill
last night and could not be present to
present tho diplomas. E. U. Overman
was called upon to take hi- place.
Alter explaining his iea?ou for being
on the stage Mr. Overman made n nice
talk to tho graduates and then pre (
Kented the diplomas. Th graduates
are Bruce R. Beckwith, ,1. H. Kellogg,
(Juarles E. Kellogg, Bruce C. l...binson,
Esty L. Smelsor, Miner Sherwood,
Elsie M. Cather, Ruth K. Johuston,
Miun A. Lambrecht, Marguerite Hich- (
ardson, Marie M. Shuto and Ue-ie D. ,
Taylor.
The audience cmne near byiut; cheat
ed out of one of the nicest arts of tho
progr.im. After the closing -oug by
the chorus the audience began to dis
perse when called back by l'iof. MoiiU
and then E. U. Overman presented a
one hundred dollar sholarship given
by the Nebrnskn Association of Col
leges to the member of the cluis who
had the highest average in hi or her
Btudies for the four years in the high
school. Miss Ruth .lohnston received
this reward of merit.
Ensv Ball With Hastings.
Tuesday of this week tho Hastings
ball buys came to town; yestcrdav they
wont back home in a "balled up" frame
of mind as a result of their severe de
feats. However, their work is as
cleanly and gentlemanly as the most
exacting could wish to sec. With
assiduous practice they will develop
into clean, steady and forceful men.
This game was not marked by any
thing unusual in the way of good
playing, though Hastings stole four
bases, struck out four men and getting
two bases on balls, while lied Cloud
stole two bases, made 'ite double play.
..truck out five men. made four two
base hits and hit one man with pitched
ball. Score by innings;

Wednesday's game opened up with
Doc Nelson in pitcher's bo and tho
fun was on. He threw the tirst ball
at homo plate, but it ricoohetted the
air over Sehoonovcr' head, the next
one knocked tho .southwest corner oiV
the grand stand and the third one
bowed the batter's back- (uite a few.
but after that he settled down to busi
ness and held the attention of all by
his unexpected, good natured and un
usual pitchers' work. After the third
'innim? our boys played "town ball"
with the Hastings players, continually
changing positions until the eighth

The .seventh grade speiimany days

result, gave a carefully moulded relief

with colored crayon and charcoal by
this -.'radc were worth considerable at
tention. One or two tine Ink and pen

All of this woik was prepared entire

their teachers. They certa'.nl. deserve
a great deal of credit for the neatness
and careful work done. An exhibit of
this nature ought certainly to increase
the degree of interest and judging

A Fire Scire
Tuesday morning a tlrv in I'd Ashlin's
chop house on east Fourth avenue
routed the lire laddies out. For a
minute or two it looked as if a serious
blaze was on tap owing v a gasoline
stove getting beyond the "ontrol of
Mrs. Ashliu and daughter, but the
prompt presence and help of neighbors
soon brought things to a uictus. A
gasoline Move will chimuiiv favorably
with a bucking broncho yon can't
tell how busy it can make mi no mat
ter how small it may be. Luckily the
damage was slight, but the moment
ary scaie for the ladies was ncrvo-rack-,

Frank Cowden held the lucky number
that drew the pri.c groceries offered
by MeFarland. the grocer.

On Wednesday afternoon at the high
school assembly room the kindergar
ten and grades, from one to seven in
clusive, gave a program and exhibit.
The proirram consisted of songs, drills,
dialogues and plays. Each grade was
represented and proved their training
by the fact that not one failure was
made during the hour. The exhibit
covered two walls of the assembly
room.
The kindergarten work consisted of
paper-cutting, sewing cards, and paint
ings. The first grade added paper foldings,
mats, painted post cards and some ex
ceptionally pretty wall-paper designs.
It certainly tooV. a great deal of self
1 control for the busy fingers of these
little folks to have. cut. folded and
1 painted their many designs so care
fully.
1 The second grade gave some original
' ealendardcsigns and composition work.
The third, fourth, ami fifth also gave
'original ealendardcsigns and the ori
1 ginality displayed by these four grades
' along this line was much better than
iiianv of their elders could show.
The second, third and fourth grade
composition work with illustrations
was fine. They expressed themselves
in childish language, but clearly and
grammatically. The drawings' of the
north ward school building by third
grade pupils were especially worthy
of notice. This grade also exhibited
.some fine charcoal drawings.
To illustrate the beginning year in
geography, the fourth grade exhibited
colored maps of Webster county.
The product maps shown by fifth
and sixth grades showed much careful
work and study. The fifth grade gave
