ANOTHER REGRETTABLE AFFAIR
Miss Vera Fitzgerald Is Kept Away
from the Commencement ExercisesH
of the Class of 1910 by Members
of the Junior Class
Miss Fitzgerald being the only
member of the class of 1910 mem
bers of the junior class conceived it
would be a joke to reduce the
number of graduates at the exer
cises by one Accordingly they ar
ranged Wednesday evening of that
week for a reception for Miss Vera
at the home of Mrs Joseph Allen
at five oclock Refreshments served
a hay rack ride was suggested and
the vehicle and team were at hand
Eleven juniors Miss Fitzgerald and
Miss Mary Hartwell the class spon
sor composed the party They mov
ed by easy stages and circuitous
route to Perry station and by sub
terfuge delayed return to the city
till after 10 oclock at night when
the exercises were about concluded
This most regrettable affair indi
cates to The Tribune that unless
the present spirit in the high school
is replaced by one of co operation
and mutual sympathy failure faces
the system
Parents pupils faculty and board
need to come out of the entiench
ments and get together on a basis
of peace and amity
The Youngest Soldier Question
The question of who was the
youngest soldier in the late civil war
is continually and frequently being
raised Recently a veteran at Te
cumseh Nebraska appeared in the
arena with his claim and this sug

he presents herewith in this issue

LACK BOARDING AND LODGING
At This Printing Not Enough Re
sponses Have Been Received to
Requests for Accommodations for
Junior Normal Pupils Get Busy
Brethren
The expectations are that the num
ber pf Junior Normal pupils this
year will reach a total of about 200
or perhaps 50 more than last year
This suggests an appeal to the
pride of our citizens to see that
accomodations are provided these pu
pils at a reasonable charge In or
der to ascertain what is a reason-
ble charge we will state that at
k cf urlnnf
onrnai n am- nn
oiuucmw gel luum illJU
board at from 325 to 375 for both
At Peru the figures are a little low
er and at Fremont there is a still
further reduction The Tribune un
derstands that prices here ought not
to be as low even as Kearney but
they can profitably be placed at say
from 75 cents to 100 a week for a
furnished room for two and board
at from 350 to 400 per week or
a total of 425 to 500 for both
There is no desire on the part of
those directing this junior normal
enterprise to get prices down below I
profit but we should not lose sight
of the fact that a special effort mustj
be made to get very reasonable fig
ures from the citizens until a board
ing house in connection with the
school is a reality and the minimum
prices thus secured or failure will
be written over against our normal
school Everything else being equal
pupils will go where they can get
the best accommodations at the least
expense We must meet the exigency
or run the risk of dying a natural
death from lack of attendance
An effort is now being made to se
cure the necessary accommodations
If our people value the enterprise
sufficiently let them come forward
and meet the emergency It may
well appeal to our pride to give the
normalites a welcome and a price to
bpot
Authorities Interfered
A female by the name of Wright
was deprived by the authorities this
week of a little baby she is alleged
to have been treating brutally The
little one was not her own having
been adopted in some manner from
somewhere The little one is only
a few months old and shows evi
dences of bad treatment The fe
male in the case is said to have left
the city Sunday night at the direc
tion of the authorities Her reputa
tion was aught but savory Mrs E
M Day is caring for the little one

good homes open to the little waif
