ESSAYS AND ORATIONS.
When the curtain arojf amidst strains
from the Twenty-second Infantry band , the

ot applause. As soon as this subsided the
program of i collations , essays , declamations ,
oiatloim and music wus at once undertaken
and continued until about 11 o'clock ,
The csaaja formed th principal part of
the proKiam , flvo being upoken. Miss Zora
I. Slili'UItf spoke of "Character Study , " tak
ing as her example < jnt ? ot the characters

Inventions. Mies Edith C , Hlgglns drew
a pretty "Lesson from ( be Pearl. " and Mlsa
Marian II. Hart tlbcovfcred that there waa
a "Mkilon of Pain" In the world , although
she maintained that a gcodly portion of
tbo lurterluy unnecessary.
There were two orations on the program ,
Ono was delivered by Harry E. Crandall ,
who poke of the attltuJo "Arbitration" is
assuming In the world's hldtory and lamented
the recent action ot tbo senate In throw
ing aside the Olney treaty , Lewis B. Reed
delivered an oration , "Mena Sana In Corporc
Fano" Ho supported athletics in ichool
and college life , finding much good and , but
little evil In the tendency ,
Ono of the features of the program wni
the original declamation on "Frederic !
Douglass , " delivered by Henry V. Plummer
a colored member of the clam. Ilia compoal
tlon was clever and polished , and wai de
livered In an exceptionally excellent man
ncr. Ho showed what his race could dc
by taking tli example of Douglass , rUei
from the position of a slave to a most prom
inent public place , and mndo n strong plea
that the negro be given the full rights of
cltl/cnshtp in every section ot the country.

n number of lighter selection. Miss Isa
bella Will recited excellently "The Bridge
of the Toy ; " Miss Lulu M. Tuttle rendered
n good piano solo , "March of the Drum
mer Boy , " of Sidney Smith , and Charles W.
Engel performed very acceptably Rubinstein's
difficult "Kamcnol Ostrow. " The ' 97 Man
dolin club wns so acceptable that It had to
respond to nn encore. And finally the
Twenty-second Infantry band played
throughout the program n largo number of
selections with Its usual brilliancy
ADMONITION FIIOM EDWARDS.
When this program was concluded Presi
dent Ednards of the Board of Education ail-
drtoscd the graduating class in a few words.
Ho BAld tlmt their hard work was just begin
ning , but that the stAte had done Its full
duty by them and they were expected now
to do their duty to the state Then ho de
livered the godspeed of the board to the
clasi.

ll'es ' arose. The tiers ot scats had been re
moved and the class marched in file across
the ttago and received their diplomas from
President Edwards and Principal Levlston
They marched and reinarched to and fro
across the stage until the last certificate had
been given out and thfrn faced the audience
In a solid phalanx. The curtain fell In a
vigorous burst ot applause.
The sinking ot the curtain was the signal
for An outbuut from the undergraduates and
the alumni in the theater , Horns were
blown , bells were rattled , class cries were
yelled. Whllo this pindamontum continued
the graduates were le-cflvlug their friends
upon the stage This was the final act In
the graduation of the clasa ot ' 97.

LINCOLN , Juno 10. ( Special ) It has de
veloped that the late State Hanking Board
was very lax In its duties nnd that the law
requiring the examination of state > banks
once each jear was observed only to an ex
tent that makes the dtaooverics now coming
out the moro slaitllng. Tor Instance , no re
port ot nn examination of J , S. Bartlej's
bank at Atkinson has been tiled with thp
board slnco 1S91 , and a laigo number of
other hanks thioughout the fltato were
treated In the snmo lenient manner escaping
the required examination * for n number of
> ears. It Is known nov that some of the
exnmlners made a piacllco ot calling upon
the favored banks regularly , collecting the
fro for examination , ana accepting the word
ot the cashiers that the banks wore In good
condition. In thract rnsia there was no pre
tense ot examination of the books of the
banks and no reports were filed at the odlco
of the lio.ii il that examinations hnd been
made , or nt most only a formal report wan
made that the banks were In good condition
This will perhaps tnplaln how in the Innt
sK yeais n number of binlc * have closed
their doors , with grcit loss to dcpcsltois ,
only n few dajs after alleged examinations
bj the state examiners , In which the banks
were repotted to be in good condition. It
Li asserted on behalf of R H Townley , Into
secretory ot the board , that ho tried to keep
the affairs of the department In proper shape1 ,
but the examiners i of used to obey him and
comluc'cd the work In their own way Ihoie
Is , however , no evidence that the secretar >
ever protested against their manner of u\-
amlnliig banks , or that bo ever called for
reports on tlio condition of Inuks which b >
his books were nhown not to Invo been ex
amined for five or six years.
MAKING POLITICS OK WOLFU.
In spite of the fact that the board of rc-
geuts has announced that there will he no
further action In the muttci the political
friends of Prof Wolfe of the UnivcrHlty of
Nebraska are bttll very much exorcist d over
the dismls-sal of the piofcissor and are work
ing to have the decision clnngeJ. Thcv in-
siat that Prof Wolfe was dismissed because
ho was a populist and foi no other reason
and aic making considerable' political capital
out of It. On the other ha.nl the. icgents
raj that there vvas no question ot politics
in the dismissal , and point to the fact that
during the last six jcars there have been
eight dismissals fiom the unlveudty , all the
othcis laving been republicans , and that
this Is the first time anyone has attempted
to lalso a political IsMie. over a dismissal
