Muupin's Weekly
Baccalaureate Services at the N. E.
Church Sunday evenlnft.
Tho Baccalaureate address to the
class of 1011 was delivered in the
Methodist church Sunday night by
Rev. Tompkins. The church was
prettily decorated by tho junior class.
The nlitHK motto was well displayed.
As usual many people were unable to
gain admittance. Mrs. John Weesiior
sang an ONcellcnt solo and the re
mainder of the music was furnished by
the, inetnbors of the tonth grade. In
his address Rev Tompkins said in
part:
Rev. Tompkins took for his te.t to
the class Joshua 17-10, or the plea of
the family of Joseph for more land
and room. He said that dissatisfact
ion with thu limitations of the present
was ever the law of growth and pro
gress citing as examples the great in
ventions of the age as being examples
of this fact, and then compared this
with progress in human life, education
business religion and politics.
lie said, ''their ideal was to bo able
to diutatu the policies of tho peoples
who lived about them and wore able
to do so because of their superior
iiuiilillcutions mentally and morally.
Their desire for power also led them
to compete for possession of the hill
couutiy close by, and in competition
for it luy tho secret of their marvelous
development. The great good of com
petition was emphasized as being it
stimiilous to men to do their best in
the conlllct of life. The speaker furth
er snid that this conquest was one of
mystery, a'nd stated tho fuct tlint till
knowledge, of astronomy, luathenmtiu.s,
chemistry etc , hns been acquired be
cause of the power of the element of
mystery that is in them to lead the
student on.
He further said that they chose, a
hard land to conquer, for it was u hill
country, and then drove this lesson
home by stating Hint iuwus in the do
lug of the hard things of life that men
get the greatest satisfaction out of liv
ing. He then dwelt on the fact that there
were some then as tlieio are today
who could not see any opportunity for
achievement, but cited the fact tho
doois of .-.tatesnuinshlp, invention,
politics and religion are opened wider
than ever before inviting and demand
ing men to enter them, and that if one
of tho class would invent a substitute
for India rubber, solve the ucgro pro
blem, ot; perfect a tariff law he would
have conferred an inestimable boon
on mankind and would bo hailed in
future year as u benefactor of his
race.
lie then emphasized the fact that
there is u great demand for leuders to
day who will mingle with the masses
and give them the advantage of their
Mtpoi'ior learning and training and
cited the life of Christ as the world's
greatest example of leadership, and
also the fact that. true education does'
not segregate and make one exclusive
but amalgamates, and makes one a
bettor tenant of tho whole.
In chjhing the nio-d impressive pnit
of the uddi'o, was especially to the
e!nN and while they were standing
Mr. Tompkins ivferrid to tho class
motto . "tonight wo Launch,
hero Shall e Auclun .' ' and said "A
man uitli the genius of a pool in his
i valns one day sat on the -dune of (he
rolllngsca and while lie watched the
white capped billows toll befoto the
driving of the wind, nnd iho waves
roll higher and higher, he spied in the
distance n sailing vessel tacking for
the harborjagalnst the gale, and us he
wutchud her a great fact of human life
swept his soul and he wrntu:
"The Ships sull east, and the ships sail
west,
By the very same winds that, blow,
TIs' tho set of the helm and 'j)pt, .the
gale,
That determines the way they go.
Class, tonight as your bark Is launch
ed upon tho great fathomless sea of
active life you will meet with many
contrary winds of passion, temptation,
and .slu, the mighty currents of busi
ness, social mo, eto., will strive to
swervo voiffrom your'coiir9onnd God
forbid that iti;tlic setting of your holm
you should make no mistake, for tho
saddest thing in the. Worldoutsidoofa
groat shipwreck ig the wreck of a
human lifo. In view of this fact
would urge you to take on board your
craft the pilot of Oallilee, that through
the rapids and shallows, thu deeps und
breakers of life he who knows tlto way
may send your bark safely through,
and when the voyago is most finished,
ami there comos as one lrtis said:" Tho
twilight, and the evening bell, and
nftor that the dark, Ohl may
there be no sadness of farewell when
y)ti embark; Rut when from out this
bourn of time and place, your baric
will bear you far, 1 know jou'll uieet
yaur pilot face to face, when you have
crossed the bar.
And when your lloet has anchored
in that eternal harbor, although it be
that some perhups will have ragged
sails and brokcu halyards, and will
have had the buffeting of many winds
and storms may there be none missing
of this splendid class who are gather
ed here tonight.
The class play given by the graduates
last night was well rendered and well
played. Each member hhd his part
well committed and there was not a
single hitch in tho entire program.
The staging oirect was exceptionally
good and the audience was well pleas
ed. We would like to give each actor
individual mention but it may lie
sulllcont to say that they were all stars.

"A Mighty Safe Place To Trade"
New Brldfte Across Crooked Creek on
North Road
Saunders Bros, have this week re
moved the forms from the now bridge
across Crooked Creek above the power
house and have exposed to view a
massive structure of rather faoitiating
doslgn that appeals to everyone as be
Ing a very excellent piece of architect
ure as well as a monument of dura
bility. This is without exception. the linest
bridge iu Webster County if not in the
entire Republican Valley. It is made
of .solid concrete ice.nforccd with steel
and woven wire, it "is composed of
three span, two sixteen feet, and one
twenty, and lias four massive piers
resting upon piling.
The,, floor is llfty two feet long and
twenty feet wide in the clear, and one
foot in thickness, built of concrete re
enforced witli 12 lb. (per ft.) 1 boains
two feet apart and woven wire laid
botli ways. The banisters are also of
concrete, a heavy post over each pier,
connected by smoothly designed arch
ed work all reenforced with steel rods
Tins bridge is a missive structure of
largo dimensions aiid"certainly has the
appearance that it will stand the test
of timo. The cost, completed, is little
more than $1,000.
The movement in the direction of
concrete bridges and culverts is along
tho lines of economy from all ap
proaches. In this county wooden
bridges ordinarily cost as much usco"
cretc and steel bridges cost twice as
much, cither of which rctiuire repairs
from time to time, would be nil worn
out and replaced by new ones long be
fo're tins concrete structure will show
marks of wear to say nothing of signs
of disintegration. ' ,
If. there is any one thing this com
munity, in fuct Webster County needs,
it is good roads, and these appear to
lie coming now as rapidly as circum
stances will permit. In the immediate
vicinity more than ten miles of roads
of first class quality have been built
and before the season closes tbcio
will bo many more miles of equal
quality. In a few years with concrete
culverts and bridges and grading such
as 1ms been doUc thin spring Red
Cloud will focus a network of the-best
roads in the valley.,
