From Frtlais
Tho Norfolk school year of 18liMl00
was ouded last night iiinid very pleasing
oxorclsos most auspiciously conducted
on tho part of tho High school graduat
ing class of 1100 A weok of cominouco
inout oxorclscs by tho various classes and
grades ropleto with pleasing features
beautiful oxercises and onjoyablo outer
taiuinouts had a fitting flualo last ovou
ing when amid a clash of tho olomonts
tho Senior class of lo pupils took a pub
lic loavo of school life
Tho wind and thunder storm which
camo up botweou 7 and 8 oclock inado
it appoar as though tho graduating ex
crcisos which had boon in courso of
preparation by tho olass of 100 for
weeks and which their friouds and ac
quaintances had boon anticipating with
pleasure would bo a disappointment
but promptly at tho hour named the ex
ercises wore commenced nud woro suc
cessfully finished boforo an audienco
of people that completely filled tho
Auditorium and it is safe to presume
that but for tho storm people would
have boon turned away for lack of stand
ing room
The grit and determination of Norfolk
people was evidenced by this large at
tendance in tho face of what threatened
to bo nud was one of tho worst storms of
tho season which continued with uu
wonted fury during tho exercises at
times making it almost impossible for
those taking part to bo heard above tho
roar of tho olomonts Undoubtedly
there were numerous muddy boots
sloppy dresses and soaked finery before
the crowd got to their homes but they
slept with tho satisfaction of haviug
seen the class of 100 graduate and hav
ing listened to a very pretty program of
exercises
The stage of the Auditorium had beon
tastefully decorated with potted plants
while bunting in the class colors old
gold and cream waa gracefully draped
about the scene The one prominent
mark to distinguish tho class were tho
figures llOO suspended in the center
of tho proscenium
On the stage beside the 15 members
of the class there was seated tho mem
bers of the school board the grade
teachers Superintendent OConnor nud
Mr Chaffee tho speaker of the evening
The lower boxes were occupied by the
High school teachers and those taking
part in tho entertainment The upper
boxes were decorated with neat folds of
bunting in tho Junior class colors red
and white and were occupied by mem
bers of the class of 1001
The exerciees began promptly at tho
hour named with a pleasing march by
the Bohnert orchestra which occupied
the orchestra circle in front of the stago
Rev W H Eaton invoked tho bless
ing of tho Most High on the evenings
exercises tho class and tho public
gjhools in an impressive prayer
A ladies quartet consisting of Mrs
Bucholz Miss Frances Johnson Mrs
King and Mrs Utter sang Suwaneo
River iu a very pleasing manuer ac
companied on the piano by Mrs E O
Mount
The salutatory by Miss Otelia Pilger
was one of the very best welcoming ad
dresses ever delivered in Norfolk Tho
speaker was very much at ease and
made her remarks iu a graceful and
smooth manner that won for her many
favorable comments Tho salutatory
was remarkably free from tho extrava
gance in language gestures nud
flourishes so frequently attempted by
salutatonaus and often with such dis
tressing effect Miss Pilgers remarks
assumned moro tho nature of a talk
with a pronounced and earnest wolcomo
permeating it It was pleasing in its
simplicity while its earnestness appealed
to those present much stronger than tho
welcoming addresses usually made
The speaker was ontitled to all the en
thusiasm with which the audieuce
greeted her remarks
Mrs Salters vocal solo Tho Wait
iug heart with a violin obligato by
Julius Hulff was a very pleaslugjmuslcal
number
Frank McClure Chaffees lecture on
Lean Folks was tho central and prom
inent feature of the evening His effort
to outdo tho elemouts was most success
ful although his voice was never harsh
or boisterous Mr Chaffees remarks
were not directed at lean folks physio
ally as in that case they would have
been more or less appicable to himself
but they wore directed at folks lean
intellectually and spirit crabbed folks
who do not appreciate the bounties of
llfo extended to thorn Folks who
while aspiring to distinction iu the liuo
of Intellectual achievements couldnt
appreciato aud improve the common
but essential things aud opportunities
with which they oro surrounded The
central choracter to Un thought was
Lougiuus Cassius the Roman who was
lean in many respects aud well rouudod
out in others The speaker thought the
art of cookery and waiting on the table
was nu accomplishment to which all
young ladies should aspire Mr Chaf
feos talk was full of sensible sugges
tions and auyono could bo immensely
benolltod by following out his ideas
Tho spoaker is not an orator howovor
and many of his best points woro lost in
tho manner in which thoy woro pre
sented Thoro hnvo boon many hotter
talkers in Norfolk but tho worth of his
remarks somewhat ovorshiulowod what
ever other defects thoro woro and if his
advice Is given practical application It
will bo worth much to those who hoard
it Again considering tho many other
numbers on tho program his address
was Bomowlmt long
Following tho address of Mr Chaffee
tho orchestra rendered one of thoir
ploasiug uumbors
It can bo roadlly understood that Tin
Nkws is somowhat embarrassed In crit
icising the valedictorian Norris Huso
but tho writer wnnts to say for Norris
without consulting tho wishes of tho
editor thatliko Miss Pilgers address it
was ono of the host valedictory addrossos
by a high school graduate that ho over
listouid to Tho old stylo of farewell
mado with a long face and with tears
in his voice was ignorod as properly
tho occasion could not bo considered
a parting like ono of death or distant
removal and a vein of humor was quito
appropriately employed His roforonco
to portinout topics and his original Idoas
mado tho addross ono worthy of tho
praiso it rocoivod
Tho duot I Heard a Voco by Mrs
Buchol and Mrs Salter was a most
pleasing musical featuro and was finely
rondorod
Superintendent D C OConnor mado
some remarks very appropriate to tho
occasion Ho doplorod the fact that so
many boys and girls woro not availing
thomsolvos of tho advantagos offered by
tho public schools About l0 now
pupils entered tho schools this spring
but from past experiences it is an open
question whether moro than one tenth
of that number will complete tho courso
Thero wero GO graduates from tho com
mon school studios this spring and but
15 from the High school Tho pupils
keep dropping by the waysido often
with very little or no excuse whatever
This is especially true of tho boys
only four of tho graduating class being
of tho sterner sex and if in years to
come tho girls pass and crowd out tho
boys iu tho arts tho sciences aud in
other walks of life requiring learning
tho boys will have no one but them
selves to blame because tho girls took
advantage of the opportunities offered
for fitting themselves for lifes duties
Another fact to be deplored was tho
desire of parents to have their children
hurried through their studies and pro
moted rapidly not giving them time to
absorb and retain tho lessons they
studied
President Luikart of tho board of
education presented the class with their
diplomas aud the exorcises closed with
a selection by the orchestra
At tho close of tho program friends of
the class surrounded them and extended
hearty congratulations while many fine
presents were given to the graduates
Whilo the class of 1900 as a whole
took no part in the exercises they have
previously demonstrated that thoy pos
sess keen intellects aud have improved
their educational advantages to an un
usual degree They made a pleasing
appearance on the platform the young
ladies attired in white nndcarrying
beautiful flowers

From Monila n Daily
Mrs Ihnvsor at ono tuno matron of
tho Norfolk hospital for tho Insane but
recently Intotostod in tho soil house at
the Trans Mississippi aud Ureator
Amorica expostions at Omaha is again
claiming some notoriety She has
learned that a tract of lfi acres of land
on which is located her sod house has
no legal owner A ionium lady Mrs
Ijlstnor first louruml that thoptoptrty
had no owner and has sot tied on a por
tion of the tract whore sho has lived
for 11 yours her attorney stating that if
sho resided thoro 10 yours tho court
would give her a doed The Sunday
World Herald gives tho following
history of tho tract whichreads much
like n romance -
In tho year ISVJjaman named Mowry
camo to tho territory of Nebraska and
squatted upon a homestead north of
Omaha Ho lived thoroJIforsovoral
yoars and mado several transfers of
parts of it to ditroront porsous homo
transfers having boon made asoarly as
1SVJ others in 1S51 and 1857
Hut thoro is no rocordJthat2ho over
secured a putont for thoJland from tho
government
He disappeared and in IWi Chester
Sampson pre ompted this KiO acres and
secured a patent from the government
Sampson disappeared tltwenty si
years ago No ono knowjwhat became
of him In tho meantime theo old
claims from Mowry camo up
I3oforo ho disappeared Sampson
deeded away homo of the land and those
deeds are on record and are considered
good by Mrs Howser and her uttornoyp
But thoro was a lotjof it ho did not
doed away and upon this part of tho
homestead Mrs bowser and tho Ger
man woman aro living
Here also comes in tho mystorious
part of tho claimants claim
Iu August to bo exact August 20
180 soma boys woro playing upon the
bluff south of tho Gorman Jwomans
house and ouo of thoni slippod down
the bluff He tried to grab fiomothing
to stay his fall and did grasp an object
which did not holp him any When ho
got down to tho foot of tho bluff ho
found ho had a human skull in his hand
Ho aud his boy friouds wont back
and discovered the skeleton of a man
within a few feot of tho top of the bluff
Tho polico wero notified tho patrol
wagon camo up and the skeleton wa
removed What became of it Mrp
Howser has novor loarned
Mrs Bowsert claim rests upon ths
plea When a man dies or disappeais
his owuerhip to reality holds good for
his heirs As thoro is no record that
Chester Sampson deeded away all of his
homestead whatover is not on record
belongs to his heirs Hut there isalso
tho law of proscription which comes in
In huch a case where a man disappears
aud leaves no heirs to reality- any
person may squat upon tho property
aud after ten years continuous resi
dence secure a deed to it This Mrs
Listner tho German lady did at tho
itdvico of her lawyer Mr Wappich
Sho alo claims that in lbJ Samp
sous brother arrived from South Amer
ica nud visited her When ho had
heard her story ho stated that he hud
all tho laud ho wished and desired that
his brothers laud in Omaha go to tho
poor of the city He gave Mrs Listuer
a paper with instructions to show it if
she ever had any trouble over possesion
Sho Paid sho gave it away and has never
received it back
As she hos been guided by her attorney
in all circumstances that gontlemau
would know of tho paper if there over
was ono
