The formal graduating exercises of th class of 1900 ol the McCook High schoo were held in the First Baptist church last evening , under the happiest auspi ces. There was present the usual over flowing audience and manifest the usua deep interest and conspicuous pride o our citizens. It was an appealing , tint mated , inspiring scene. The doors were opened at eight an < in a trice the church was filled , am there remained enougli on the outside for a good-sized overflow meeting Promptly at eight thirty the anmia graduating exercit.es began with a piano solo by Miss Elsie Burgess , which was followed by the invocation from the lips of Rev. W.J. Turner , and the exercises of 1900 were duty launched. The class history from the pen o Frank Colfer was a characteristic pro duction , full of bright things and laugh able peisonalities. The piano duo by Mesdames Mills and Stranahan was excellently done. Dr. H. A. Rowland's class address was. a superb effort and held the closest at tention of the large audience through out its entertaining delivery. He spoke to the title , "Success Through Difficul ties. " The doctor puts a pronounced personality into his addresses and that of last night was magnificently suggest ive and instructive. Miss Nina Doan's vocal solo was ar tistically rendered. Her efforts are al ways pleasing and this one was particu larly so. The presentation of the diplomas by Vice-President Doan of the board of ed ucation and benediction by Rev. J. W. Walker concluded the exercises. The decorative effects were very pret ty ; the class colors , white and purple , in streamers and banners , together with ropes of snnlax , potted plants , cut flow ers etc. , supplemented by handsome curtain hangings and effective furniture , made an attractive general appearance. The class motto , "What sculpture is to a block of marble , education is to the hu man soul , " was clone in white on a field of purple , and occupied a prominent place on the end wall over the pulpit. The graduates were handsomely re membered by their numerous relatives and friends with many pretty gifts. In conclusion , THE TRIBUNE wishes to compliment one and all concerned in the happy event of last night , and to wish the class of 1900 every good thing needful for their happiness and success.

Vahue Evangelme M. Burgess THE ANNUAL SERMON. St. Patrick's church was altogether inadequate to the demands for admission , last Sunday evening , on the occasion of the delivery of the annual sermon to the members of the class of 1900 , and many were necessarily unable to gain admis sion to that event , whose charm is only second to that of the graduating exer cises themselves. Promptly at the appointed hour the members of the class marched in and the following programme was rendered in a most satisfactory and pleasing manner indeed it was one of the most notable services of the kind in the an nals of the city schools : Opening prayer Rev. J. W. Ilickey Hymn Choir Solo sacred Miss Maynie Sharkey Annual sermon Rev. J. W. Ilickey Hymn Choir Solo sacred Mrs. P. F. McKenna Hymn Choir Closing prayer Rev. J. W. Ilickey Ode "America" Congregation The annual sermon by Rev. J. W. Hickey was a very eloquent effort , brim ming over with wise suggestions and helpful advice. It was delivered with deep earnestness and was well received by class and congregation. It was an able and apropos sermon. The musical feature of the evening was strong and pleasing , the sacred solo efforts of Mrs. P. F. McKenna and Miss Mayrne Sharkey being particularly ar tistic. Palms , potted plants and cut flowers were tastefully disposed and the scene was one altogether brilliant and inspir ing. BASE BALT , AT OBERLIN.

The record has never been equaled in Red Willow ounty and is doubtless unparalleled in his section of Nebraska. The workmen down in Wilsonville are creating such a "deafening din"in push ing the work of improvement and con struction generally , that there is doubt less an opening in that burg for an au- rist. The price on cotton batts is said to have gone up. Fair-minded citizens will warmly wel come every evidence of a return to liber ality of thought and freedom of action in our city , as evidenced by the class of 1900 in its selection of the deliverer of the annual sermon , this year. It was a kindly , commendable act. You must see F. D. Burgess about the great IVIcCormick before buying a reaper , mower or rake. The McCormick has for many years stood for everything that is best in that line , and you can't afford to fail to inspect these up-to-date machines , if you are in the market for any of them. Through the efforts of the Plattsmouth Woman's club , a number of the leading merchants of that city have agreed note : o open their respective places of busi ness on Sundays. Such action should ae taken in McCook , where Sunday clos- ng is not as closely and faithfully ob served as it ought to be. Pay Your Occupation Tax. Occupation tax became due and pay- ible on Monday , May I4th , and all par ies interested are requested to call at he Citizens bank and make payment. A. C. EBERT , Treasurer.
