marched down tho islo of tho church and took seats on tho platform Direct ly in their roar and overlooking thorn wore Beatod Prof OConnor and tho corp9 of high school teachers Messrs Whaloy aud Barnes and Misses Hartley and Mygatt Following a spirited inarch by tho orchestra Rov John Jeffries stepped in front of tho platform and invoked tho divine blessing upon tho exercises of tho eveuiug and upon aljwho should par ticipate in them An overture by the orchestra was very delightfully rendered after which Frank A Mastorstho class salutatorinu delivered an oration on The Ideal Country Mr Masters production was a thoughtful one well delivered and received morited attention and ap preciation Ho dwelt especially on tho responsibilities of citizensship that came to every American citizen pointed out some of tho dangers which threaten the perpetuity of tho republic and empha sized tho duty of his class mates to take an intelligent aud wise part in making this Tho Ideal Country The orchestra gave a serenade aud then Prof OConnor happily introduced Dr S Wright Butler of Omaha as tho speaker of tho evening Dr Butlers address defies analysis Any synopsis of it must necessarily be inadequate For nearly an hour ho held tho closest attention of his audienco and he closed with them still expectant He is an orator of the first rank and from start to finish his abounding vigor sparkling wit keen analysis of tho fundamental principles of life bril liant flashes of rhetoric and eloquent antithesis and climaxes charm and in spire Ho at first made a request that all rise and sing one verso of My Country Tis of Thee which was heartily responded to and served to place all in a patriotic frame of mind He then proceeded to givo a graphic account of tho scenes in ancient Rome when the empire was at the heighth of its power Tho coliseum was crowded with four score thousand people Pres ently the emperor surrounded by his courtiers the vestal virgins and tho son ate would take his place upon tho throne prepared for him Tho gates of tho arena would swing open and tho gladiators the athletes of that age would come forth and making obeisance to Romes ruler would say Hail I Im perial Ceasar Wo who are about to die saluto you But tonight we livo in a grander and nobler ago I These young athletes who have completed their high school course in Norfolk step forth bo fore their country aud can say Hail Imperial Republic Wo are are about to live saluto you Dr Butler then called attention to one of tho conspicuous facts of history Every nation has its sacred place dedi cated to its heroes

Wisely Conclude Not to Sink Any Moro Minify In an Attempt to Secure an Arteolan Well The IIiilu Id Down H70 Feet and CoHt Approximate ly 4000 From Mondnys Daily After six mouths of weary effort after 4000 of tho citysmoney has been in vested in tho hole in the ground the city council at a special meeting this morning ordered Contractor Shaw to quit drilling and proceed at onco to dig a well At tho time this ordor was given Mr Shaw who was present stated that tho hole had reached a depth of 670 feet that the drill was working in solid sand rock with no prospect of water Ho stated it as his opinion that the lass of rock in which ho was working gave no encour agement of finding an artesian flow of water when a depth of 1 000 feet is reached Upon this showing a motion was mado by Councilman Bullock that tho committee having tho matter in charge bo instructed to discontinue work on tho well Roll call showed Council men Brummond Hucholz Bullock Dog nor Dextor and Uhlo voting aye Ab sent and not voting Heckuinnand Vielo Then it was moved by Bullock that tho mayor and city clerk bo instructed to execute a contract with Josoph H Shaw for tho immediate sinking of a 10 iuch well to tho depth of 125 feet moro or less at 27500 the city to furnish coal for steam and tho contractor to fur nish all casiuc depth and location of well aud aniouut of easing to bo deter mined by tho committee Tho motion received tho unanimous vote of thoso J conncilnipu present Thus is ended an item of expense to tho city which for roveral mouths has been recognized by many people as an almost useless effort and tax payers will now breathe easier Whilo tho invest ment of approximately 1000 of tho citys money has been without practical result yet as as educational measure it may bo worth all it cost For instance thoso geologically inclined know that a good vein of water can bo secured at a depth of about 100 feot that below thoro tho foundation of tho eartli is mado up of layers of varied thicknesses and grades of sand rock quicksand and sand rock principally tho latter all very useful in their way but not particu larly adapted to furnishing drinking water Tho action of tho city
