The Hiph school commencement.

Last evening Central church was crowd
ed to witness the commencement exerci-
ses of the Rock Island High School.
In front of the dais on table was a beau
tiful floral anchor, magnificent tribute
and so tastefully arranged as to call forth |
an unanimous expression of praise. It
was neat, tasty and elegant, and was a
donation from Edward Kelley, of ST.
Louis, brother Of Miss Ella G. Kelley, who
was to have graduated, but whom Proyi-
dence in His wisdom saw ft to remove
from earthly cares, only few short weeks
ago. This was the only floral decorative
design. and was silent tribute to the
memory Of a dearly beloved member of
the class.
After music by BIeuer's orchestra, the
opening address was delivered by NJ. D.
Merrill, president Of the Board of Educa~
ton. 1t was a we'll written, appropriate
speech and was very favorably received.
Then followed prayer by Rev. j.
r. Miller, II an impressive man
ner. After prayer the or
ohestra gave selection Der Freischutz"
which was applauded. Then began the
graduating exercises in the following order.
1t is simply necessary to say that all did

The piow works picnic occurs on Fri
day at Green Island, and Of course will be
an enjoyable affair The price Of tickets
has been placed at the nominal figure OF
$l.O0 including all expenses, and as these
pic-nics are always pleasant affairs it is
safe to predict a success in this instance.
The first boat will leave Rock Island at
$50 in the morning and the second boat at
1870 p M, thus affording an opportunity
for a day or half day on the Island as
visitors may desire.

committed, and it required no small
degree of courage for an anti
slavery man to 60 to Kansas. He
remained there with the absolute
certainty that he was in dan
ger of being assassinated. Whatever
was done by the Federal admins
tration was in the interest of the
rufians who were acting upon the
advice of their leaders, that Kansas
must be slave State, at the point
of the bayonet, if it could not be
done otherwise. Kansas was then
known as "bleeding Kansas, and
hundreds of men lost their lives be-
cause they did not agree with pro-
slavery Democracy. If any one
who is not already familiar with the
history of Democracy, feels an in.

Ocratic party is the last party on
