received the bene fit of an illustration and explanation of wireless telegraphy and the X rays This kindness was particularly beenfic ial as we are just taking up tho subject of electricity iu our course of stuly I We read through the columns of the local papers an account of the wedding of our ex schoolmate Miss Mabel Ash burn and Mr Paul Charbonneau Miss Ashburn while among us was our es teemed friend and fellow student and Ae take this opportunity to heartily congratulate her upon her happiness our only regret being that we did not first have the pleasure of congratulat mg her upon her graduation as she was a member of the class of 1901 The high school entertainment at Cornell hall was a decided success Tne weather man who had been send ing April showers for a week provious graciously rolled fhe mists away and gave us a lovely evening The Phiio matbians rose to the occasion with corri mendable amiability and left nothing to be desired as to ushers and door keeper Through the kindness of Judge Westover we were able to pro cure the hall during court week which fact doubtless made the audience larg er than it otherwise would have bpen The general public gave us their most liberal patronage there having been about 400 persons present The total proceeds were 44 50 and after paving all expenses we find that we have 36 30 to expend in improving our library This includes a present from the Misses Donoher of 1 and fiom Mr Cornell of 2 Who hath strivings who hath con tententions who nath quarrellings and shaking of fists They that are of the class of 01 they

us take unto them selves class colors of the red white and bine Wherefore therefore shall we be copying after them Not so unto us shall be purple and cold arranged after the manner in which a sunflower grow rth Then both thp vonnsr men and the maidens with one wax wroth in and with out Pcon1 both talk at once and neither knmvetb what the ther saith -At the last they have no Caesar and know no geometry Tliov am ns i mfin at sea who hath no life preserver and class colors are still j as far removed from them as the e ist i from the west Verily then is i the professor wroth and the young

with the performance of Miss Lizzie Cott man teacher in thedistrict school near here Alone facing atorrent of water caarying debris of trees dead animals and all the accompaniments of a flood Ishejescued from a horrible death the scholars of her school and preserved the building itself from what seemed inevitable destruction Teacher and pupils were unconcious of the frightful danger awaiting them Suddenly Miss Cottman felt a strange uncanny movement under h cr f c ct a gain it came this time so strong that the pupils looked up in terror Stepping to tho door Miss Cottman witnessed a sijjht sufficient to stir the strongest soul The White river was out of banks The school building was ready surrounded and the rising was hurling its power against the its al- flood frail frame structure Instantly Miss Cottman s purpose was formed Across the expanse of water tugging at his long rope was a horse which had been ridden by one of the pupils to the school Springing out fearlessly into the muddy and debris filled sea Miss Cottman waded waist deep to the horses side Then she be tran the struggle back her helpless pu pils watching her in pitablo terror It was frightful at best but when a great wave struck the building causing it to totter and to break partially loose Miss Cottmans courage almost failed He roically however she pressed on and fastened the rope to the saddle and then to the budding giving it the aid of the horses strength For three quarters of an hour she stood at the horses head up to her armpits in the chilling torrent until one of the largest of the pupils waded across to land and returned with assistance from the neighbors distant several hundred rods The children were rescued and the building saved PROMPT RECOGNITION OF HKUOIC ACT 1 j IJY STATE

of the Democrat should chance to fall into the very nat ural error of assuming that April 1901 is a record breaker for jlissagreeable weather it is only necessary to point that th us far we have had less wind and milder temperatures than during any April m the history of the local sta tion of the weather bureau That is to say the minimum temperature of pre vious Aprils have been lower and we still have two weeks to show whether or not for a portion of the day at least fires may be supeilluous The rain and snowfall will probably be an aver age but it is thought that the temper ature will be above the average for the month P C GRUNOW Observer Weather Bureau SUICIDE Wm ITatten a farmer living South of Merriman on the river shot himself last Monday evening as result of family trouble and
