trict oonvened today at Woodbine and will
be In session for three days.
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.

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

City Hall Bond Bale it Again Delayed
Through r Litigation.
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. Just what action tne court win

May Asses Refrigerator Cars.
City Atorney W. C. 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.
