Their Progress.
The chapel of the Nebraska school for
the Deaf, Forty-fifth street and Boulevard,
was taxed to its utmost yesterday after
noon, to accommodate toe parents ana
friends of the pupils who assembled o
witness the annual commencement exer
cises of the Institution. On every band
there was evidence of the skill of the
classes In the decoration of the chapel,
while the bright faces of the young people
attested the Interest they felt In the
annual exhibition of their handiwork and
other progress.
The exercises opened at 2:10 o clock
1th the Invocation by Rev. J. M. Ross,
followed by a sign song, "Lead Kindly
Light," given In the sign language by six
young women and sung by one of the
teachers. Throughout the program the
members were Interpreted by some of the
teachers, though their expressive presen
tation rendered their meaning quite evi
dent. An essay, "My Walk to School," by
Miss Msude Swelfel, was the next num
ber given In the sign language and an ora
tion, "William McKlnley." by Mr. Dean
Smock, illustrated the progress made In
teaching the deaf to Ulk.
The proficiency of the younger children
in lip reading waa shown In oral recitations
by two of the classes, a declamation by
Miss Hattle Ren and an essay by Miss
Hester Wlllman. following. Aa art test by
one of the art classes was another bright
feature of the program, six of the pupils
exhibiting their skill at off-hand drawing
with crayons. A one-act farce, presented
In pantomime by the members of one class,
waa another creditable feature.

program, congratulating the teachers ana

being Interpreted by Superintendent R. E.
Stewart, and after the presentation of the
diplomas the exercises closed with the sign
song, "Home of the Soul," by the girls of
the graduating class.
Previous to the afternoon exercises the
members of the board of trustees, Clinton
H, Orcutt of Omaha. Charles NowrM of
Papilllon and C. G. Elwanger of Nebraska
City, held a meeting, the only thing aside
from the routine business being hhelr de
cision that all pupils boarding at the In
stitution should be governed by the same
rule regarding visiting their homes whether
they lived In the vicinity or not, this action
being taken to protect the Institution
against contagion.
After the program another meeting waa
held for the appointment of teachers for
the coming year, and while the number Is
to be increased no announcements are to be
made for some time.

Telegram.) Fred Blunt, a railroad man
from Plattsmouth, tried to end bis life late
last evening by shooting himself through
the left breast with a 32-calIber revolver
He came to this city yesterday and went
to call upon bla wife, from whom he had
been separated for aome time on account of
alleged cruelties and, being refused admit
tance, he asked to aee hla child. This re
quest aleo waa refused.
He aeemed much depressed at the action
of his wife's family, and about 4 o'clock
hs went to the home of David Hill, a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Blunt, and threw a
note Into the yard, announcing his Intention
of committing suicide. The note was com
municated to the police, who made a faith
ful, though, unsuccessful search for the
man.
Later In the evening Blunt returned to
a point uet In front of the Hill home and
fired the shot that wss Intended to end
all. The buhet entered the breast, but
struck a rib and was diverted from Its
course toward the heartland lodged In the
apex of the left lung, where It now la.
The man does not seem to want to get
welt and aays that there Is nothing now
for blm to live for. He complalna most
bitterly of the treatment be has received at
the bands of bis wife's family, who have,
he aays, dona everything In their power to
estrange hla wife ever alnce bis marriage.
T. K. Wooster. the father of Mrs. Blunt,
says that ane was forced to leave Blunt
because of ths excesslvs cruelty with which
be la In the habit of treating her. Blunt
was carried to the Cincinnati bouse, where
everything possible Is being done for blm,
but In bis present mood It Is doubtful If be
recovers.

fully 15 per cent more than haa ever been
known. During the dry. bot weather of
April many farmers became discouraged
over the outlook for wheat and plowed It
up tor corn. Nearly 5 per cent of the
acreage suffered thla fate, and fully 20
per cent of the oaU. But the large re
maining, acreage" of wheat will, upon the
average, make twelve bushels to the acre
of the plumpest of grain. Some few fields

posted gralnmen place the oata average
at about twenty-eight bushels per acre.
