The Wemaa Impmialble.
"The Woman Impossible" was the sub
leet ol the essay by Miss Carolyn Cong
Ion. She recalled the history of Helen of
Tr- who forsook family and friends to
pli.tiKt her country Into war; brought up
x Portia, the creature of Shakespeare, who
had vnhounded knowledge of the world
sh-n mil quite young; declared Longfel
low's Hiawatha to be naught but the person
ification of laughing water; pictured the
S'lbsun girl, six feet tall, as a type none
hsve met or wish to meet, and summed up
the subject by saying: "The Ideal woman
la tlye ical woman, one we meet every day,
s lio despite her pug nose and homely looks
Uplifts tha world. The Ideal woman can
lalk. Is original, can look you between tha
brows unabashed. Is superbly Independent."
Miss Congdon stated that every woman of
the poets and the later day fiction la
dream and therefore Impossible, and In
quired: "Do you think sweet Fluffy Ruf
Tles could conquer the world?"
"A Visit to Swltxerland" was tha subject
f Miss ilatllda Camenxlnd's essay, and
the presented a beautiful word picture.
Taking her hearers with her across the
vati-rs to the land of the Alps, her former
.lorn'-, she unfolded to them the lakes and
Ivulets and snow-capped peaks; disclosed
'- Inherent love of their country In the
'st of the shepherd and the dweller
- curious villages, and penetrated th
f the Ivory or woodcarvcr and
in .d foith the infinite patience roreFd
Dy the people of that mountainous count y.
Miss C'amenximl painted a glowing pic
ture of beautiful Switzerland and Its tn
lltlons, and wove it Into a rretty story.
"Unwise Wisdom" was the subject chosen
y Alan MacDonald or his 'essay, and
1e started It with the statement:
"Unwise Wladom" was the subject chosen
by Alan MacDonald for his essay and he
ought to show the contradiction between
tha proverbs of old, though ha expressed
regret that Shakespeare, George Eliot and
other writers should put the proverbs Into
the mouths of their Inferior characters.
"Faint heart ne'er won fair lady,", quoted
tha speaker, but he qualified It with tha
itatement that It "takes a brave man to
live with some of them." He referred to
another proverb which says that women
have long hair, but are short on Intellect,
tut this he discounted by the showing made
by the graduates, the girls outnumbering
thi boys In all classes. "Make hay while
tha sun shines," but how about "Every
thing come to htm who waits," were other
proverba quoted.
Fighting; Wind Willis.
"Windmills," was Miss Mary McCacua's
subject for an essay, and she took for her
text the unhsppy adventures of Don Quix
ote and Sancho Panza and the former's
Inglorious fight with the windmill. "How
many Don Quixotes are there today riding
rallantly forward to attack windmills?'
the asked. She attached some blame to the
newspapers for not distinguishing between

' nd the foolish questions In women's mil
Mines. The wind mills rising up In front
of, the average man of today were rldl
suled by the speaker, who sought to dls
'Ingulsh them and real foes.

by M ai Fayette Thresher. She resurrected
the ghost of the dark which frightens the
email child, the ghost of being misunder

Champion the Drsmr.
"The Dreamer" waa the subject of the
essay of Mies Helen Wright, and this
abused personage, often accused of being
slothful, found a champion In Miss Wright.
"The Importance of the dreamer cannot be
overestimated for he stands at the cross
roads ever pointing onwsrd and upward,
and he la and always has been the forge
which has wrought out men's destinies,"
declared the speaker. She also stated that
from the earliest dawn of civilisation down
to the present day, every great movement
has been started by the dreamer, and to
prove the assertions reminded her hearers
that Columbus, a dreamer, discovered
America: that Confucius, a dreamer,
founded the Chinese empire; that Budda, a
dreamer, was the soul of India.
Intersrersed between the essays were sev
eral musical numbers. Miss Grace Mc Bride
and Miss Sadie Klrschbraun each gave
violin selections and Mlsa Mamie Meek
played a piano solo.
Good-Bye to Old, Welcome the Jfew.
Prior to the conferring of the diplomas,
which was last on the program. Superin
tendent Davidson In a short address paid
a glowing tribute to the departing principal
of tha high school, A. H. Waterhouse. and
a hearty welcome to the new principal, E.
V. Grarf from Rockford, 111. The super
Intendent called attention to the fact that
In the nine years Mr. Waterhouse has been
principal over 1,600 have graduated, and
that In that time .000 separate and distinct
yeung people have come under his tutelage.
He spoke of the retiring principal In the
highest terms and introduced Mr. Water
house, who spoke briefly, expressing the
tinge of regret In leaving Omaha and the
pride In which he reviews the work of the
past and the hopes he has for. the high
school of the future. He Introduced Mr.
Graff, who assured his hearers that he will
"endeavor to administer the affalra Of the
high school so that the brilliant story
which has been begun and carried . along
tlon then spoke briefly to the class and
presented diplomas to each one. The full

Five young women graduated Friday
afternoon from the Academy of St. John

Following the graduation exercises Father
McGovern addreased the students a few
minutes as follows:
"I believe I voice the sentiments of your
teachers, your friends and your parents
when I congratulate you on the completion
of your auccessful years of study. The work
you have been engaged In performing has
been the acquiring of an education, not the
atoring up of facta and figures, but drawing
out ths understanding of the soul, a train
ing that will fit you for the work you will
do in the world and prepare you for ever'
lasting life and eternal union with your
Maker. - , ,
"I am sure you all have, Ideals, some
thing you wish to strive 'for and attain. It
Is well It la so. A person with no Ideals
never accomplishes anything. Ton now go
forth to face the world, but you will find
the Ideals of tbe world quite different from
those you posseaa. But your education In
this academy has fitted you, I hope, for
the taak of overcoming all obstacles snd
has prepared you for what you will meet
in the battle of life, and I truat you will
never waver."

CHERRIES , AT THEIR BEST
Reasonable Recipes Tested and Choice
for Preserving This Small
Fro It.
Spiced' Cherries This recipe reads as
though It "were quite formidable and the
time taken may deter many a house
keeper trom putting up cherries In this
way, but If you, have ever tasted them
you will not mind the labor or time, for
they are truly delicious. Here are the
quantities: Seven pounds of cherries, four
pounds sugar, one pint vinegar, one-half
ounce ginger ' root, one teaspoonful of
ground cloves, two teaspoonfuls of all
spice, same quantity cinnamon and one
hal fteaapoonful ground msec. ' Now for
the making: Put the sugar and vinegar
on to boll; mix the spices and divide them
In four equal parte and put each part In a
small square of muslin; tie tightly and
place In the sugar and vinegar; when thla
mixture Is good and hot add the cherries
nd bring to the boiling point, then take
from the fire and turn carefully In a stone
Jar. The next day drain all the liquor
from the cherries Into a porcelaln-llned
kettle and stand it over a moderate fire;
when boiling hot pour the liquor back In
the Jar over the cherries, repeat this
process for nine consecutive days, and the
last time boll the liquor down until there
Is Just Enough to cover the fruit. Take
the fruit from the Jar and add to the liquor
and bring the whole i to a boll and put In
Jars or tumblers for keeping. If the cher
ries are large It Is advisable to prick the
skins before spicing.
Cherry Tart Stone a quert or more of
cherries and fill a deep baking dish; cover
with sugar, a sprinkling' of flour and dot
with bits of butter; over all put a thin

' t Refnsed.
WASHINGTON. June art-Sweeping re
ductions In lumber rates west of the Mis
souri river end s t per cent reduction In
the advanced rates In the east, aa well
aa other changes In the tariff, are ordered
under decisions announced by the Inter
state Commerce commission today.
: The rulings are made In a group of Im
portant caaes. . Involving the rates on
lumber, shingles snd other forest products
from points In the Willamette valley to
Ban Francisco and from Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Co
lumbia to eastern and southern markets.
In the cases of the Oregon and Wash
ington Lumler Manufacturers' association
against the t'nlon Pacific and other roads,
the Psclflc Cosst Lumber Manufacturers'
association and others against the North
ern Psclflc and othera, and the Southwest
Wsshington Lumber Manufacturers' as
sociation against the Northern Pacific, In
volving a general advance In lumber ratea.
In many cases V and 26 per cent, from
north Pacific coast territory to points east
thereof, which became effective in No
vember last, the commission makes a geo
graphic decision in Its action. On the
ground of unreasonableness It orders the
restoration of the previous rates west of a
line drawn from Petri lna. N. D.. through
Grand Forks, Sioux City, Council Bluffs
and Kansas City to Port Arthur, Tex.,
along the Kansas City Southern railway,
and Including all points east of that line
"which now take the same rates as any
point between and Including Sioux City and
Kansas City."
A part of the Increase to the more dis
tant markets lying east of the Missouri
river is permitted to stand.
Differentials from Spokane.
Differential rates from Spokane rate
group points, Montana-Oregon group rate
points and Hood River, Ellensburg and
Leavenworth districts, which lie east of
the Caacade mountains, embracing parts
of Washington and Oregon, and all of
Idaho, to eastern territory, are established
under a decision In the case of the Pot
latch Lumber company and others against
the Northern pacific and other roads.
Rates from the Spokane district are or
dered lower than front the Pacific coast
and the commission directs more uniform
differentials under the coaat rates than
were In .effect prior to last November.
In the case of the Western Oregon Lum
ber Manufacturing association against the
Southern Pacific company the commission
decides that the advance of 5 per ton from
all mills in the Willamette valley, not In
cluding Portland, Is unjust and unreason
able; that from both the east snd west
banks south of Corvallls the' rate should
not exceed 13.40 per ton, and upon the west
bank north of Corvallls 13.65 per ton. Be
cause of the water rate the Portland rate
li not reduced.
New Line to Vtah Point.
In the case of the Pacific Coast Manu
facturer's association against the Northern
Pacific and other roads, the commission
declines to establish another through route
fiom Washington to Colorado common
points and eastern destinations. It requires,
however, the Northern Pacific railway,
the Northern Pacific' Terminal company
bf Oregon, the Oregon Railroad eV Nav
igation company, the Oregon Short Lino
and the Union Pacific to establish through
rates for lumber from the Northern Pacific
line In Washington, north of Portland as
far as Seattle, through Portland to Ogden
and Salt Lake City and Utah common
points, and a -40 cents per 100 weight rate
on fir and spruce lumber and SO cents per
100 weight on cedsr lumber and shingles Is
prescribed for through trafflo.
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Har
lan disstnted from the conclusion reached
by the majority In these cases on the
ground that most of the advance In rates
was rtueorable.
The Hill and Harrlman lines from the
Pacific rorthwest rslsed the rate on lum
ber to eastern points about one year ago
and a fight waa at once precipitated. The
lumbermen on the north coast combined
to fight act Inst the ralae In rates snd
gathered quite a fund for that purpose.
The railroads raised the ratea about 10
can's to the Missouri river. To head off
this raise the lumbermen secured sn In
junction erd gave bond. This ' forced the
railroads to protect the old ratea. Ship
ments have been mr.de on the old rate ex
cept by shippers who were parties to the
Injunction. The ru'ltoads are now In a po.
sltloii when they will have to refund ex
cess on any shipment which was made at
rati htgrer than the old rates.
MAN WILL WRESTLE A BULL

A bull ftfht will be one of the attrac

out like great hills. He made no attempt
to bewilder the animal, but after a few
dexteroua movements took It by the horns.
Then followed a remarkable scene. Around
the arena both atruggled. Twice Neromua
had his antagonist on Its knees, only to
lose the advantage by a desperate jt k of
Its head by the bull. The contest waged
for forty-five minutes, when, finally, the
man conquered aa with one terrific effort
he fairly turned the bull off Its feet onto
its back.

the visible number astonlshinsly and the

Preparations for fall trade are on a fairly

supplementary ordera for prompt shipment,
while retail salea expand In response to
seasonable' weather. There la some Irregu

iron and steel marketa still feel the unset

Building operatlona Increase at many
points, creating a better demand for lum
ber and other materlala. but there Is still
a decrease In most comparisons with laat
year's volume. Mercantile collections are
more prompt and money la abundant, de
spite continued exports of gold.
Waiting condltlona prevail In the iron
and ateel Industry, purchases being lim

of steel bars that have been ordered by
makers of sgrlculturai implementa, to the
extent of 200.000 tona. Numerous Inquiries
promise to result in considerable business
next month. Output of coke Is rising at
the rate of about 3.000 tona weekly, and

mMost cotton fsbrics are now held well
above the lowest prices of the season,
but there Is little disposition to operate on

bly In textile lines there is little news to

lna Outfit.
Offices of the Omaha-Wool and Storage
company were moved from the fifth floor
of the Brandels building ' Saturday to the
rooms provided for. offices at the ware
house near the Independent elevator in
the aouth part of the city.
Appliances have been received by the
company for the scouring and grading
plant and 1. Bauer, an old grader for sev
eral eastern houses, will arrive In Omaha
within a few days to Install the plant and
begin grading the wool as the growers
order the work done.
'The idea of having a grader at the
Omaha market Is on a par with having
a . thoroughly competent Inspector at the
grain market," said C. H. King.' "There Is
no o port unity for a buyer paying less for
the wool than it Is worth. Our grading la
to be done by a man whom I know stands
high In his work and has been In the
business for twenty-four years. When he
tells, one of the growers having wool In
our house that It Is 'of a certain grade and
worth a certain . price per pound, the
grower can depend on it. The grower
will not be ' compelled to ship - the wool
east , and depend on the graders of the
manufacturers telling him how his clip
graded and how much it Is worth."
Mr. King and the secretary of the com
pany, Theodore Becker, 'are much Inter

THIRTY YEARS AT HARD LABOR
Limit on Both Cnaea Is Clven to Ben
Marshall for Attempted
Aasault.
Thirty years In the penitentiary at herd
tabor was the aggregate sentence Imposed
by Judge Sears on Ben Marshall, th negro
convicted tWlc In district court of at
tempted criminal assault. Judge Sear
gave htm the limit, fifteen years, on each
of the two charges.
Marshall waa first convicted of trying
to assault Miss Mollle Orann early in April.
Two weeks later he waa convicted' of a
similar attempt upon Mrs. Anna Orabowskl
In March. Both Juries were out Just fif
teen minutes.
Marshall protested his ' Innocence, but
Judge, Sears told him he believed he was
guilty of many other offenses similar to
tha ones he had been convicted of. He
called attention to th fact that Marshall,
eight years ago,, served a Jstl sentence on
a similar charge.
"I have no hopes of making an Impres
sion on a man like you," said th court,
"but . I do hop this sentence will be a
warning to those of like mind and Inclina
tion. The court directed that Marshall be
kept in solitary confinement on th anni
versary of his crimes.
Frederick Bell, a negro, was sentenced ta
a year and a half for burglary.
