No more fitting vehicle could have been offered as a demot stratlon of the progress made during the last fifty years In the tralnlng'of the young bereft of the senses of hearing and siech thati the graduating exercises of the Iowa School for the Deaf, held last night In conjunction with the celebration of the semi-centennial anniver sary of the founding of the Institution. That children lacking the sense of speech as well as that of hearing could be taught to articulate was a revelation to hundreds who had not before had the pleasure of witnessing the commencement exercises of this state institution. The Joint event, together with the fact that Iowa's eloquent governor, Hon. A. B. Cummins, was to deliver the address of the evening, attraced an audience which not only flllod the large auditorium of the high school, but overflowed Into the halls. Since the destruction by Are of the main building of the Iowa School for the Deaf three years ago, the graduating exercises have been held in the high school of this city, but next year, with the completion of thu r.ew administration building, now In course of erection, the exercises will again be held at the Institution. A pleasing feature of the exercises was the truly excellent playing of the orchestra of the Institution for Feeble Minded chil dren at Glenwood, which rendered several selections during the evening. ' Rev. Otter- beln O. Smith, pastor of the First Congre gational church, delivered the opening prayer and Rev. A. E. Burlff, pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, the benediction. Superintendent Henry W. Rothert, who as been at the bead of the Institution slnoe La8, gave an Interesting account of the origin, growth, mission and future of the school and Hon. L. O. Klnne of the State Board of Control made a short address be fore presenting the diplomas to the eight graduates. The principal feature of the program. however, was the address of Governor Cummins, who was accorded an ovation by the large audience. Governor Cummins Is nown as one of the most eloquent speak ers in the state and his effort last night. hile somewhat brief, was no exception to the rule. He said In part: Governor Cummins said tn part: Over many of the Institutions founded bv the state of Iowa for the betterment and protection of its people the half-centurv has already passed We have from time to time during the last few years celebrated with fitting ceremonies and grateful hearts ne nignt 01 nrty nappy and Drosoerous years which mark the beginning and growth of many noble undertakings In the Duiming or a state. 1 have been a witness to some and a participant in others, but I remember none more aratlfylnr than the occasion In which we are now engaged. it is out common justice to pause a moment, as we survey the splendor of pres- acnievements ana render a well ae ved tribute t the men and women of fifty .' years ago men and women who, though inspired with the unlimited hope, moved with overpowering ambition and filled with the unbounded enthusiasm of the pioneer period were yet be.se t by the hard conditions of an uninhabited country and he poverty, which -the vlrontier always reates. It is easy for us. in the midst of he ease which wealth carries In Its train. with the flood of knowledge which time has poured upon us, with - the experience through which we have begun to under stand how essential It Is for the state to give to those upon whom misfortune has laid Its neavv nana, the training which opens to them new fields of usefulness and new lives ot pleasure. Hut It was not so easy for those who founded the school whose fiftieth anniversary we are now com memorating to begin the work of raising nis altar to humanity ana to dedicate tt to he helpless children of a long and unknown future. Knowing something of the history of the institution wnose graauates we nave now about us, I can well congratulate the peo ple of the state upon its management from ts origin to tne present moment. Those who have led It have done their work with conspicuous fidelity. I must especially felicitate the auperintendent who for many years has been the dominating mind-of the school. He has served his state with honor In other fields of labor, but the brightest jewel in the crown of his life will memo rialise his work in this institution. He has made the state and all Its people his debtor throughout the far reaches of time and I doubt not they will be swift to recognise tne oDiigation. Word to Gradoatea. To these graduates, who tonight pass from a period of preparation to the period of perf ormance, from a period of training to the perioa 01 responsiDiiuy, irom tne loving care of the teacher to the battles of the world, 1 also tenaer a wora or con aratulatlnn. They must surmount dlmcul ties which many of us are not compelled to meet, but these difficulties, great as they s re, are less formidable than ever before. They enter the struggle -or life with an equipment which but a few years ago was unknown. Thev pass Into the companion ship of men and women whose hearts beat with a broader and truer sympathy than ever lief ore filled the bosoms of mankind. The wonderful diversification of Industry has opened doors of opportunity where those who have gone before them found nothing but the unbroken wan or a hard and pitiless fate. In their Journey they will nnil neiprui rrienas at every turn in the path of fortune friends who will speed thm on their way toward an honorable and successful career. With their minds Illuminated with all the tight ot tne world thev ahould press forward with courage and hope. They will remember that honest faithful I a nor weaves ine wiiit laurel wreath worth wearing. Things done are oftentimes fortuitous and accidental, but things attempted to be done, with a pure heart and upright purpose, measure tne real value of a human life. I bid them Godsiteed and wish them Joy through all their days. The graduates who received diplomas were: Jessie Hall of Gravity Center. Lulu May Lewis of Gralnfield, Kan.; Hannah Mary Anderson of Jackson county, Luclle Dttar Lauck of Lemars, Ira Anderson Orr of Columbus Junction, Merrila Ellsworth Stover of Afton, Axel Hjalmer Kullman of Wall Lake and Harvey Aloysius Whalen of Des Moines. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA JUDGE RYAN DIES SUDDENLY Bucrambe to Apostesy Shortly After Retaralnc from at Family Plcale. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINE3. June 20. (Special.) Judge David Ryan, president of the Polk County Bar association and one of the most promi nent attorneys of the state, died suddenly st his home last night of spoplexy after re turning from t'nlon park, where he had spent the afternoon with his family at a family picnic. Judge Ryan was born in New York in 140, and entered the practice of law In this state thirty-five years ago. He was district Judge of the Sixth dis trict, being elected in 16S6. and in IS served as representative in the state legis lature at the close of his service in the civil war. At the battle of Shlloh his reg iment held a conspicuous place In the Hornet's Nest. W. V. Wlllcox, B. C. Hopkins, H. R. Howell and W. D. Skinner, the four in surance men arrested on warrants from Justice court for Illegal combination to fix rates, refused to give bond today and ap pealed to Judge McVey , In the district court for a writ of habeas corpus. They were released on their own recognisance. Late today the body of Virgil White, the young attorney thought yesterday to have been drowned, had not been recov ered, Hon. Fred White of North English returned today to his home on account of the low condition of Mrs. White, due to the shock of the accident to her son. Mr. White has offered a reward of 1100 for the recovery of the body. Toung White was Inexperienced in paddling a canoe, and it Is the firm belief that he was caught In a storm and upset. He was seen on the river Just before the storm, hurrylnsT to shelter. When the damage suit of Steele against Grahl-Peterson was called tn Judge Howe's court in the district court today an air of sadness prevailed. Virgil White repre sented one side and Judge Ryan, who died last night, the other. The case was post poned out of respect to the departed. According to the weekly crop bulletin Issued today the condition of corn in tho state is below normal and uneven on ac count of the lnte replanting, but on tho hole as well along as at the correspond- g date last year. The small grain is re ported well progressed and headed out. Governor Cummins will probably In terfere and stop the Sunday shoot of the Ibwa City Militia company next Sunday, though he has taken no action yet. He stopped the sham battle last year at Coun cil Bluffs. In accordance with an act of the last legislature State Labor Commissioner E. D. Brigham and State Mine Inspector K. Sweeney are at Fort Dodge lnvestlgat- ng the gypsum mines of that locality. At the last session of the general assembly a bill was Introduced placing the gypsum mines under the supervision of the State Board of Mine Inspectors. This was de feated and a bill passed instructing the wo officials to investigate and report. It claimed that the mines are free from gas and most of the mining is outside work and thet the mines are therefore totally unlike the coal mines of the state. The rotunda of the state house is still filled with scaffolding, the delay In getting it out being caused by the delay in getting the marble work completed in the niches where the old flags are to be placed. If the delay continues the scaffolding will be removed and another built later to com plete the decorations. Dr. J. F. Kennedy, secretary of the State Board of Health, in the Iowa Health Bulletin states that the legislature should prohibit the promiscuous distribution of samples of medicine and claims that the practice Is so common and the fatal re- sultavso frequent that the matter Is alarming. This morning "Doc" Fillmore, who gave the 'Terrible Turk" a "terrible time at he ball park last night, sent a telgram to "Farmer" Bums challenging him to a catch-as-eatch-can match, best two falls out of three for a purse of 1250. The match will be held within the next four weeks If Burns accepts with Des Moines as the meeting place. Fillmore has posted a forfeit of 850. Fillmore secured one fall on Burns at the Mirror theater about a year and a half ago, but was defeated. He has Improved won derfully since that time and thinks be can now throw Burns. A band for the Fifty-third regiment has been mustered in at Waukon to take the place ot the band mustered out at Marshall town. C'oafraaea to Robbery. 6IOCX CITY, la.. June 20 (Special Tele. gram.)

BUYERS REFUSE TO ADVANCE THE CASH Hayes Jt Sons Decline to Advance Anything on the Purchase Price Vntll Validity Is Fally Established. There is another hitch in the city hall bond proposition. W. J. Hayes & Sons, the Cleveland bankers who purchased the bonds, have notified Mayor Koutsky that they will not take the bonds until the litigation Is over. When the temporary in junction was dissolved by Judge Day the council offered the bonds for sale and Hayes & Sons bid a premium of 8S59. The purchase was subject to the opinion of the attorneys for the bankers. At the time the temporary Injunction was dissolved City Attorney Lambert announced that the council was at liberty to go ahead and offer the bonds for sale. It appears that the final disposition of the case Is not to come up until the September term of court. When a letter was reeked by the mayor from Hayes & Sons stating that the pay ment of the purchase price would be de ferred until all litigation was over, steps were taken at once to have the case called as soon as possible. A. H. Murdock. who was employed to assist the city attorney in looking after the city's interests In tue caso. stated Tuesday afternoon that lie had filed a motion In the district court to have thir bond case advanced in order thit tho matter might be disposed of us soon as possible.

Lambert has aarls?4 tho council that It has the power, as a board of equalisation, to assess ccrta'n re frigerator car lines. Mr. Lambert stve thac last year this matter escaped 'he no tice of the tax commissioner. Talk'efc on this subject Mr. Lambert said last night: "It Is my opinion that the Board of Re view has no authority to add this property with the taxable property of the city, but the city council has such authority at a proper session and upon proper notice. This property of the packers and others operating refrigerator cars here should be added to the assessable property of the city." Continuing on this subject the city at torney said: "There will probably be other matters to come before the council as a hAH of eauallxatlon. therefore I would advise that the council give proper notice for the purpose and sit as a board of equalisation. This sitting should follow the Board of Review. The time tor sutinu should be named In the notice and a suffi cient length of time given after the ad journment of the Board of Review, so that all parties Interested may have an oppor tunity to appear and have a hearing. According to Mr. Lambert taxes amount Ing to about 85.90O can be collected from the refrigerator car Tines. Rumor Ahot PavLna. It was rumored on the streets Tuesday that the Omaha end of the South Omaha lerai department had found a flaw in the charter in relation o the paving of cer tain streets. Whether this is true or not could not be verified as the city officials are not talking on the subject. It Is known, however, that P. A. Barrett, an agent In tha employ of the legal department, went to Lincoln yesterday. It Is presumed that Barrett's mission is to secure a certified copy of the South Omaha charter, or else to look up some other matters pertaining to the paving questions. There is a good deal of talk about the repaying of Twenty-fourth street. Some of the property owners on the street Insist that the city at large' should pay the cost of repaying as the packing house teams and other heavy hauling vehicles are Tt-. sponsible for the condition of the pavement On the other hand some property owners think that the street should be paved un der the same plan as adopted when Rail road avenue was paved. It looks as If no matter what action the council takes re monstrances will be Sled. Hunting for Proof of Death. H. W. Morrow, special examiner for th pension department has written the city clerk asking for a record of the death of Melsena OBterhout.
