rcud and ndoplcd.
The secretary rend a communication
from Turnoy & Sons , of Dtibuquo , In. ,
risking what inducements Omaha would
oiler them to move hither with a hand *
made boot nnd shoo factory , employing
100 men. The secretary had answered
that ground , with a slight money bonus
would probublv bo given ,
T. L. Kimhall sent in n communlcntlon
showing the possibility of establishing
tunl maintaining n woolen mill inK
KOmalin as well as in Provo , Utah , and
1 $ . oilier places on linen tributary to tlio
Union Pncilio road. The communica
tion was ordered copied and Illod.
A letter was received from 11. J.
Franklin , of Harper , Nob. , calHnc at
tention to the fact , that tlio Union Pacllio
was ollering tlio samu ratal from that
point to Kansas City that it was to Omaha ,
tlio same showing a discrimination
covering a distance of two hundred miles
in favor of thu former and against the
latter
5 Mr. E. Rosewater suggested that the
communication be referred to Mr. Calla-
wuy of the Union Pacific.
ft'lr. Naltingor wanted to ask Mr. Hose-
water if ho thought it ought not to bo re
ferred to the freight bureau.
' Mr. Koscwator said that Mr. Callaway
hud ohargo of freight matters at Kansas
City as well lus al Omaha , the matter
should bo laid before him to see what ho
hud to say about the matter. It was so
Bordered.
' On motion of Mr. 0 , S. Chase , a copy
of the letter was ordered sent to the freight
bureau.
Half a do/.cn letters , from individuals ,
. ,011 various subjects and from various
parts of the country , were read by title
mid passed without further consideration.
A letter from Congressman Dorsey , to
the president of the board was road. It
referred to some changes in ado in the
intor-stato commerce bill , nnd set
" forth the writer's intent of opposing the
oleomargarine bill , which , however , ho
thought would bo considerably amended
before it came up for passage.
. , Another letter was road irom Senator
Mandorson , acknowledging his receipt of
the board's resolutions on the question of
oleomargarine , and Butting forth his
willingness to embody the same as an
amendment when the bill should coiuo
up for action in tlio sonata.
Harris Bros. & Co. , of Now York , paper
manufacturers , asked for information as
regards the possibility of securing rope
from thoboat8ongngtid ; initkuTivcr trade
in this part of the country , far the maim-
'fllaluro of paper. The letter was accom
panied by a note from General Lowe , of
this citv , stating that the linn mentioned
seriously contemplated locating in
'Omaha.
'Iho question of amending article 16 ,
section S , of Iho by-lawsewis then raised.
T.io ( proposed amendment read :
A penalty of 85.00 shall bd Imposed on each
member of this association who shall be ab
sent at the regular monthly meeting , unless
said absent member shall show cause why ho
was unable to attend said meeting , nnd said
line may. bo remanded upon a majority vote
ot the moinbcns at the next regular meeting.
Art ! > , pioviding for the collection of as
sessments , shall bo the ralo goveiulng tlio col
lection of lines Imposed.
Mr. Chase said that , while ho thought
ho might bo esteemed the father of the
Resolution , in that ho had suggested it ,
-Jot , in view of the fact that the atl'airs of
the board were almost entirely in the
' 'management of n board of directors of
uino men , ho didn't think it would bo ad
visable to line anybody for non-attend-
anco. In fact , ho didn't thinic the line
could bo collected , and if it could not bo
Ijoolloctod , ho couldn't dee the wisdom of
Hulllctingit.
Mr. P. K. Ilor also opposed the amend
ment , for the reason tnat it would nilbot
older members of the board who had al
ways boon members and had helped to
build it up. They were not active , yet
they were useful mombora , nna tholr advice -
vice and money were always needed , nnd
7 when important subjects were being
considered they were always present at
the meetings. The hall could not ac
commodate all tlio members if they should
> lurn out. Fnrthorinoro.ho believed' the
board could not ufl'cot a man's stock ,
oven if it piled forty lines upon him.
-That question was now being debated in
a Chicago cor.rt. and the board of trade
stood a ohanco of paying the lighting
member a proportion of the stock of the
association. It wan time enough to talk
of lining members when tlio board got
into their now building.
flMr. J. A. McShuuo wanted to know in
Avjitit miinnor the by-laws might bo
changed.
* The chair Informed him , stating as
.among one of the requiromunts. that the
Eroposod change should bo recommended
y the board of directors.
Immediately Messrs. Ilor and Hollman ,
liumiborsof that body , said that they had
recommended such an amendment.
The secretary's minutes wore referred
to and showed , that the proposed change
Had boon suggested by the directors , and
iu ( response to an inquiry from Mr.Chaso
It was shown that the technicality of
posting the amendment in the hall had
been complied with ,
Mr. Kvmis said ho had favored the
amendment in the board , but had donobo
fo'jgotnn expression-upon it by the board ,
no was opposed , however , to HH passage.
* though ho thought u small penalty would
bo advisable , but a tame ono which
could not bo collected would bo Impolitic ,
Mr. Colnutzer said his Idea in bringing
the question before the board of mana
gers was to got such members ns were
present to attend the meetings , and also
to show that the directors wuro willing
that the members of the association
should know wl.at the directors voro do
ing with the $75,000 they had in their po-
80&SIOU. Ho also wanted to have dis
proved the charge that the board was bo-
Jug run by a ollqno.
Mr. Ilor said when they got to doing
business In their now building as a boui ;
lldu board of trade , people would bii glad
to attend meetings , and ho did not doubt
l > Ut that memberships would bo worth
$1,000.
Mr , Kosowator said that the vote which
Ihoy were about to taRo would not with-
jtttiw the confidence of the liooplp front
Uil ) board of diructors. It was a- vote
rather of policy than anytlilngclso There
\f&n no doubt that the meetings of the
WsooltUion ought to have u full attend-
unca , Neither was thorn any doubt that
the board of directors had unquestioned
authority to transact all the financial af
fairs of the association. Hut to give ox-
p'roulon to an opinion as the board of
trade on any important subject , the dl-
rectors ought to call the board together.
To efleet an amendment now socmod to
him impolitic , especially when the boatd
was within nine months of gutting into
its now building , when the members
would attend the meetings from feelings
of prido.
A vote wns taken and the amendment
was lost , not a voice being hoard In the
afllrnintlvo.
On motion of Mr. Colpotzcr n commit
tee was appointed to confer with the
management of ono of the Iowa trunk
lines and request it to put iv fast train on
between Omaha nnd Chicago , and in
consideration for which to oiler the in-
lluencoof the board In directing Iho trade
of Omaha to the line thus accommo
dating them. The committee appointed
by tlio chair was Mos.srs. Colpot/.or ,
.Brady and McSlmne.
Mr. Hose water suid that Iho board of
trade ought to take an In-
torcst in n qnostlon which aflcctcd
the city nnd whichwns now
pending in Congress. It was that refer
ring to the re-location of Fort Omaha.
If any mumbor present had any reasons
to advance why thn removal contem
plated should tiiko place , ho should like
to hear thorn. If not , ho would like to
have the lower hottso of congrcfcs in
formed of the fact ami to take no action
on the pending bill until it could learn
what were the feelings of th6 people
upon the subject.
Air , Ilor said ho had hoard that the
reason advanced for the removal of Iho
fort was that there was" not suflloiunt
ground to bo had at thu present site for
the accommodation of the fort ,
Mr. Kosowator said ho had been In
formed that General Crook did not favor
the removal , nnd yesterday Colonel
Henry , iu charge of the rlllo practice ut
Bellevue , said the troops were getting
along nicely as they wcro. Mr. Kountzu
had also informed him that sulTicient
ground near the present fort could bo
offered to the government if thby wanted
to buy. To make the change now would
bo injurious to the pcoplo who had given
the laud to thu government to liiivottioin ,
now bountiful with drives and shade
trees , torn up and destroyed. The govern
ment would not spend one-half as much
money in buying the additional ground
required by tlio troops us it would in
getting n new place and erecting now
buildings. The board ought to puso a
resolution asking congress to take no
action in the promises until they could
learn what necessity there oxibted for
maklnir the change. Ollicors now comu
in during the day to the city nnd mnko
purchases. At night they attend church
and the theater. They could not do tlds
if they were put ton miles out in the
country , unless suburban trams were
put on for their accommodation , and
they are not numerous enough to war-
runt those being put on any of the
roads. The Dolt line TVtis already
near the fort and $10,000 would give them
a line to their doors. Besides , they had
beautiful drives leading there , and every
stranger who took a ride hero always
went out in that direotion , and enjoyed
the sight of the water works and the
beautiful roads. Ho did not think it was
advisable to tear up and destroy all these
because of some person who wanted to
sell a farm.
In response to a question , Mr. II. T.
Clark said that with regard to
the Bellevue range , both the
owners and the soldiers were
happy and satislied with everything.
He further remarked that the site of the
present fort reverted to the donors when
it should be abandoned for military pur
poses.
Tliis opinion was controverted by
Messrs. Ilor and Hollman , both of whom
had given a part of the land. That had
been the original understanding , but It
was cluvugcd when tliagovornment built
its last pcrmanont buildings on tlio
grounds. v >
Mr. Hitchcock said that the objections
made to the present bite wcro , inadequacy
for rifle practice , inability to
accommodate a twelve-company post ,
insullicioncy of ground to admit of artil
lery drill. The Hoard should bo interest
ed in favor of Omaha , and consequently
should commititself againsftho bill.
Mr. Rosewutor then introduced 'tho fol
lowing resolution :
Kcsolved by the Omaha Board of Trade ,
that wo regard the relocation of/Fort Omaha
as detrimental to the Inteiests of this city
anil of no material benefit the the United
States government.
Resolved , That we remonstrate against tlio
passage of the bill recently by the senate , and
respecttullv request tlio house committee on
military affair * to withhold action until our
citizens ImVc time to picsentobjectionstothc
proposed chance.
Kesolvcd , That the president and secretary
forward a copr of these resolutions to Gen
eral Itniu'R and our representatives In con
gress.
Iho resolutions wcro unanimously
adopted.
'W. ' E. Clark introduced a resolution ,
the oflfeot'of vvhich was diametrically op
posed to that sought to bo created by the
resolutions adopted at the last-meeting ,
on the question of oleomargarine , Mr.
Colpctzor hoped ttic resolution would not
pass ; and President Meyer said ho would
not like , at this time , to sign such a reso-
lution.ospccially so soon after these of an
opposite nature hadgono to Washington
as the sentiment of the. board-
The resolution was lost , Messrs. W. E.
Clark nnd C , 8. Chase voting in the
atlirmativo.

THE ; ASSESSMENT.
Commissioner Corliss flics an Opin
ion Upon mi Important Subject.
County Gommissionor.Corlis has filed the
following opinion with the board , lof
which ho is a member , upon * 'thc yfcxcd
' " " *
assess me nt question : . "V ? * ' <
To the honorable board of county commis
sioners of Douglas county , Nebraska : In re
gard to the assessment ns 10turned by thu as
sessors ot Douglas county for the year 1S83.1
think the snmo rule has been followed f6r Mia
yenrlbbO as tor mcvlous years , and the same
rule has been applied In all of iho counties ot
the state. The matter of revenue has both
ered the heads of even more . .competent men
than the board of county commissioners ot
Douglas county , anil while 1 do not think
that they can iciuedy the evil ; but If the law-
is bad they cau only put It Into force , as that
is the proper way to got rid of it. In the matter -
tor of assessing real and peisonal property
our statutes rend as follows :
"Personality How valued. Sec. 4 , Chap.
77 , Page 489. Personal property shall bo val
ued us follows :
" 1 All personal property , except as
herein otherwise directed , shall bo valued at
Its fnlr cash value.
" 3 Every credit for a certain sum ,
payable either in money or labor , shall be
valued at a fair cash value for the sum so pay
able ; If for any article ot property , or lor
labor , or for service of any Kind , It
shall be valued at the current piico of such
property , labor or service.
3. Annuities and royalties shall bo valued
at tholr present total value.
Heal property shall bo valued as follows :
See. 5. Chap. 77 , rage 400. Dow valued.
1. Each tract or lot of real pioporty shall
bo valued at Its fair vnluo , estimated at the
nrluo it would bring at a voluntary snlo
thereof whcrepubllonoticfrhnd been given
nnd a payment oC one-third cash and the
balance secured by a mortgage upon the
property.
2. Leasehold estates , Including leases of
school and other laud of the state , shall bo
valued at such n price ns they Would bring
at a fair voluntary sale for cash.
\Vhero a building or structure owned bv
a lessee Is located on land leased from ai\- "
ether , the hume shall bo valued ntsucho
price as such building or stuicture would sell
nt a fair voluntary sale for cash.
Now , I claim that no assessor In tlio.state of
Nebraska lias compiled with the law In com
piling Ids valuation for assessment purposes.
A valuation calculated as the law dliecte
would Rive Douglas county a valuation of at
least S7.r , oo.OCO , and to mit In all mortgages ,
bunds and other personal property subject to
taxation under our revenue Jaw , and nnt as
sessed , would nitiko a much larger
sum. I can see nothing wrong In ,
making an nssosBiueut according to
this act ; provided all counties In the
state comply with It. or if those counties that
did not comply with tlio law couldt'ot n
pioper equalization by the state board of
cqiuli/atfon ; but heretofore eaclreounty has
made thu lowest possible nssu.ssiuunt to nvohl
the Btnto taxes. Douglas county hns prac
ticed the same policy , on account of being In
doubt about getting any relief from the stato'
boaid , but Ills my opinion thaftho time has
como when this kind of policy will bo' sui
cidal to the best Interests of the city of Omaha
and Douglas county. Some stop should bo
tulcon to brlmc about a radical change. It
would boa bold step for Douglas county to
put Its assessment uj > to Its full value with a
state levy of 7 } < j mills on the dollar staring
them In tlm fnco. With our pa-sent valuation
any S15KWOW thu amount of state levy
would bo Sll'J.ROO. but supposing that we
should place It at 80,000.000 tit 7 } mills wo
would have $000,000 , aiilcosum to distribute
through the balance of the state and no doubt ,
all would be used. Now I claim It does not
need much legislation to make our revenua
lavr whnt Itblionld bo , Let the next legis
lature pass an act thnt would
cut tlm levy of the county
general ttmd so that thu county commission-
fib conkl not levy more than two mills , and
1yll ) gunruntco that the valuation would In-
ok u all over thy hUto. lint Increased val
uation Is not what we most need , Itltt equality
In uxatlou. Under our present law , as compiled -
piled with , a largo per cent of taxable projH
erty escapes taxation. Wo cannot iwptsot
e.tsk'in capitalists to send money hero nud
lo.m U lor 7 nnd S per tent unu
make leturn to the assessor and
pay 0 per cent county tax but
we expect them to pay something ; , If
taxed were only I per -cant I think they
would pay that , nnd It i\oud | Increase our
lory nnd plnwi nil pirtlos ; on un equal foot-
Int ; , Now them U no ona thnt can contend
but what all the loan r.nd trhst companies
u ml money loanetvs of every description
should bear their slmro of tlio burdens of tax-
Mlon , Our banks art ) taxed-nt us hlulfit rate
tis Hnjrblher personal propertyWe assess
their stock at par , add tliulr eurplus and un
divided proilts and divide It by four , but of
the hundreds of thousands of dollars of
bonds and mortgages we receive no revenue
whatever. To ulaeo parties holding these
klnda ot secuiltlej ou the game footing as
other taxpayers , and then muko thorn' pay
ihulr sluie. Tlio only way I ! > ee to do it u to
put all property nt Its full TaUio and rciluco

In-a board ot equalfcntloD , when assessors
try to ns oss at one-lifth , one-sixth or one-
third , find they will mix things up so It Is
impos-dhlo to equalize the asc. < smcnt In

Cassell'a l-amUy Maga/.mo for .July :
1 know of one or two tunnels that are ex
ternally positively picturesque. Travel
ers from the north to London , via Trent ,
must have noticed when entering Ucdhlll
tunnel the wealth of woodland at the
poilals , with grey baronlcal battlement
at cither side , and the telegraph masts
with their web of wired carried far away
up among the trees. Pointmon's boxes
with their "lovors" and "
oven can , "re
peaters. " and tinkling bolls , eloquent of
the "block system" of signalling , bo
mndn "things of beauty , " if not "a joy
forovor. " How many passengers each
summer , for instance , admire the hand
some station signal-box at Cheltenham 1
It is durinrr the summer months a perfect
"basket of flowers , " and more resembles
n radiant greenhouse than a prosaic receptacle -
coptaclo for "switches" and "three-
throws. " Creeping plants climb up the
sides of this cabin. Ornamental baskets
are suspended from' tho" caves , from
which droop fostbons of tlowcrs. The
signalmen look 6nt'"to ' the windows
bright with fuchsias and geraniums.
Wire-stands tilled , fith flowers are
placed on either Bide the box , while be
hind is a fornerv , idro' bright flowering
plants mingle their colors with the cool-
greys and groonqVild birds build in
the station-roof , and beppmo almost tame
despite the rush a/ndiiwir / of the passing
trains with their vibration and smoke.
On the lines of tUo wcst of England
pretty railroad statlous ire numerous. In
tlio opening summer tiuau when the orch
ards of the beloved Western country are
jn flower , the stati6\\rt nppe.aj to ncstlo
> < nata urchitecturc.'iiluilwiy : shareholders
eager for tlioir dividends/won Id scarcely
approve of that : < -But still there are
quaint designs of gable , delicate sugges
tions of pretty windows , and artistic
points about many of thcso wavsidq sta-
taOns/'pieturesquo enough for all painting
purposes.
The cultivation of flowers is a pleasing
characteristic of English railway stations.
There nro some stations such us Dum
fries , on the Glasgow and Southwestern
main line , and Ihdsbury , on the Man
chester South district that owe their
prodigal show of shrubs and flowers on
the platforms to the professional nursery
man displaying liiyhortlculturo as nn au-

of the BEU.J One of the most pleasant
oecuAJouS' connected with the normal
school has just closed , and though at this
simoon of the year the air la full of the
echoes of orations' , essays and farewell
songs , and the papers tire surfeited with
ropoitJ full of glowing adjectives portraying
traying the grandeur of each exercise ,
ydl wo feel it'diio ' to the nooplo who sup
port Uils.lhstltitrori | so generously from
Ilia coffora of tlio state to know something
of thu work bolu < done ns exhibited on
this occasion.
An wo are-strangers , for the first thuo
entering the town , permit us to give our
nnros\sons ) ) as wii enter it , When the
conductor called out'"Peru , " wo looked
out , oxpeiltjn lov find a neat , thriv
ing VtlBgo , all allvo with business.
But we only saw a small , dingy
depot building , with n few strangling
houses on eauU sida of the road , skirled
with woods of a luxuriant growth , and a
dilapidated sidewalk leading ( southward.
True , there wore a largo crowd of young
people gathered about the station , but
wo could not help exclaiming : "Well ,
well , is this thu scat of the State Normal
school ? " But , as wo rode up the street ,
signs of life began to appear , and though
wo failed to find a hotel in town , wo saw
that there was some considerable busi
ness being done. Wo t > uw evidences of
two or three churches , and : is we pro
ceeded boilth toward the Normal build
ing signs of thrift appeared , and several
fair residences wore pa 33il. Wo were
greeted by ail elderly gentleman ns wo
reached the front stops of the school
building and very cordially welcomed to
tlie hospitalities of tlio school.
Now that wo are on the hill , and could
embrace in our vision a wider range ,
wo did not wonder that Peru
gained the school , for a moro beautiful
location and natural .surroundings cannot
bo found in the west , and that little stanza
ends in " is vilu"
that "Only man sopmed
so appropriate , as wo thought of the
marring of the landscape from the depot
to the building by the denizens of the
place , that we involuntarily repeated it
aloud. After a generous rupast in tlio
dining hall of the dormitory wo wore
pleasantly shown through the "now
building , " as it is calk-d. This naw
building is composed of two parts that
finished in 1673 ; which was built after the
general plan of so many of our high
school buildings throughout the state ,
and Iho now addition , built on the .south
sidd of the first , finished January 1 , 1880.
Wo shall not dare to undertake n descrip
tion of these buildings , sis thnt might
well occupy thu space sullicicnt for a
long letter , but wo will say they arc com-
uiodibus , convenient , and socrn well
adapted to the uses for which they were
erected. They are heated by steam and
wull snbplied with wator.
Monday evening was devoted to the ox-
crclses.ot live Philomatheau society. As
w'u'entered the chapel We found it well
filled by an intelligent audience , and the
overcisqs already begun. A Miss Bowen
was reciting. Slio did her imrt well. A
Mr , Conklln then announced for his sub
ject , "Man , H Fanning Mill , " and made
out quite a similarity , but his metaphors
were , as a rule , far-fetched , ihe next in
order was a debate , subject , "Labor
versus Capita. " Mr. Ellis E , Good we-
sonted capital and handled his part well.
fllr.4W. B. Harman discussed with abiht } '
theside , ol labor and made some strong
points and hapuy hits. Miss Laura Brad
ford was lust beginning her paper on
"Capitall" when a high wind from the
west cnnsed something of a stampede , and
we did not stay to hear the rest of the
exorcises. Wo learned from others who
remained that all the programme
was well carried out and the
society was well represented.
This society Is composed mostly
of members of the advance classes. Its
work is every way worthy of the school ,
its room very nicely furnished and taste
fully decorated. The Everett sociotv has
also a ilno room just across the hall from
the Philomathoau.
On .Tuesday the general classes of the
school wcro suspended and the lirst do-
montary class ( graduates in the lower de
partment ) occupied the ohapol during the
forenoon. Interspersed with the essays
were class exorcises conducted by mem
bers of this class. Miss Mattie Evans con
ducted a class in primary readn ! < r and her
method would no doubt startle most of the
pedagogues as an entire now departure.
She had on a table a number of coin-
mop articlesboxes , spoonsshells.spools ,
etc. , etc. , and surrounded by a cliss : of
pupils ranging from four years old and
upward to soven. She asked them to pick
from the table some article. She then
wrote a little .sentence about it. and
the child immediately road it. Words and
lei tcrs were entirely ignorod.Tiio sentence
alone was regarded. The children
ffeemad.to be perfectly at home and wrote
the pontonees quite legibly on other
boards. There were some things that
might bo criticised , but if thought is to
ginned from the written pngo , and that
48 Iho chief object in learning to road ,
the sentence , method is the true system of
instruction. , Miss Lois Hills gnva u les
son' on the tooth , exhibiting the method
of developing thought from objects. Miss
Kjito Powers gave a lesson on alcohol
and its ollucts. It was well done , nnd
made a deep impression on all who heard
her. It is certain \hut the young clash to
wiiom she gaVe the lesson will never for
got \t \ ,
Tuesday evening was the stu
dents'- reunion prayer mooting. The
room was crowded and sev
eral of thu old students teat i Hod
to the help this meeting had boon to
them jn former day.s , and how its in
fluence hail followed them in their busy
lifo-Vork since they left this school.
Ituv. . Mr. Palmer , who delivered thu bao-
culaifreato sermon on Sunday , mndo a
very inipiossivo address on the subject of
prayer , 'I'ho prayer meeting hour passed
quickly and the students at its close
seeuiei 'to Iduve the room reluctantly.
After prayer meeting the Alumni as
sociation mot in tlio chapel , The exer
cises were interesting.
Wodiiosduy was to bo the great day ,
When wo awoke Wednesday morning
the rain wad pouring down in torrents ,
and the prospoets for an titidlonco was
dismal indued. But by 8 o'clock the rain
had ceased and streams of people began
to ut in toward tlio ohapol. Promptly ut
0 o'clock thn niouibert ) of the board of
education , faoulty.of the school , gradu
ating class . and singers took
tholr places on the platform.
After an anthoni , well rendered by thu
choir , pie Rev. . D , P. Kodtibaugh led m
prayer. Thu naliifatory was delivered by
Miss Jessie Sinclair , LiLii salutatorios
and valedictories ou nil such oncaslons ,
there was much repetition and sainones *
In the many welcomes and farewells , ye-t
wo were much pleased with the thought
and expression of this lady. She was
solf-posaussod and boru herself with dig-
nt7. ! Miss Blanche Bedell discoursed on
the "Immortality of Influence , " a nub-
ject worthy of the lady nnd u lady able to
handle it well. Mr. Duncnnson , in hit
thoughts on "DlflVrontla , " showed very
careful preparation and a wide range of
knowledge , but his hesitation in delivery
marred ills production somewhat. Miss
Minnie Hondryx showed that "Our
Emancipation" constated moro in free
dom Irom mental thrnlldoin than from
bodily manacles. "From Base to Sum
mit" wns onoof the best papers. This was
thd production of Miss Ida Church , daugh
ter of Judge ilnrvls t'luiroh of Auburn.
"Soarch tor Truth , " by Miss Uora
Lilly , of Tckamah , was a very good pa
per and was well road. "The ( Jen-
csls of Knowledge" Mr. Alex Perry
showed to be much farther back
than that we gain from books. Ml.ss
Belle Ullmoro , of Wooplng Water , found
much to suy of interest on the phrase
"Within and Without. " Mr. Klmor E.
( ? roon delivered the valedictory. It was
wulldoiio , and made a IHliug close to thu
work of thu graduating elus.
lion B. E. B. Kennedy , president of
tlio board of nducatlon , made a short and
appropriate address to the graduates and
presented each his dlplonm. Hev. Mr.
Palmer boiim called upon , made some
remarks relative to his impressions of Iho
school and Its work , In which ho spoku
very highly of tlm general character of
the class work nnd demeanor of the
pupils.

reason to t > o proud of her formal 'Soliool.
