The Exercises at the Graded School.

The term and the school year of the Helena
| graded school closed, somewhat in advance
of the appointed time, several days since,
but the graduating exercises were deferred
till last evening. The gathering was quite
large, and the audience was attentive and ap-
preciative.
After music, Prof Rolfe introduced Miss
Annie Warfeld, who read an essay on ''Self-
Reliance" 1t was an earnest presentation of
the duty of depending on ones self, and was
replete with good thoughts forcibly and neat
ly expressed. Miss Warfeld was applauded
at the close, and received a handsome bou-
quet.
The orchestra gave selection, when Miss
| Mary Wheeler was presented to the audience
Her essay was comparison between the
conditions of human life that now obtain
and those of ancient times, which led her to
the query, "What Next?" 1t was very
graceful and ornate rhetorical effort, and
was read in sweet voice, with exquisite
modulation. The applause that rewarded
her was lavishly bestowed, and the floral
tributes were rich and numerous.
There was another musical exercise, after
which Miss Ida Wilson read an essay entitled
Twenty Years Hence" In this Miss Will
son projected herself two decades into futu-
rity, and meeting her two classmates in the
East proceeded to tell them of the changes
that had taken place in Helena. The thought
was most happily carried out, and the illusions
to some of the pupils and other local refer
ences created great amusement. The pleas
ing essay elected an enthusiastic response
from the audience and Miss Wilson was
made the recipient of handsome boquet.
Prof Rolfe then delivered the baccalaureate
He took for his theme ''rhe Elements of
Success in Life, - and pronounced thought
full and eloquent discourse. After the de-
grees had been conferred upon the
graduating class by Mr.. S. C. Gilpatrick,
president of the Board of Trustees, Prof.
Rolfe addressed some serious and sensible
remarks to the parents and other people of
AAOACua oOOue tASAA uuty w INC cCNUClS.
AT the close, he announced bis purpose to
retire from the position Of principals an event
that will be greatly regretted. After duet
which was very beautifully given by Miss D.
Acheul and Mrs. Rolfe, Hon. Granville
Stuart was called to the front. He responded
with some recollections of his experience at
school which convulsed the audience with
laughter. His concluding remarks, address
ed to the young ladies of the graduating class,
were in high degree feeling and appropri-
ate. Brief remarks were also made by Judge
Hedges and Col. Sanders the beautiful song,
'By the Streamlet Through the Grove" was
finely rendered by chorus, and the first
graduating exercises ever witnessed in Mon
tana were concluded

Wholesome and Nutritious Bread.

Intelligent housekeepers who use DooLEY's YEAST
PowDER-there are thousands upon thousands who
now use, and have used it for the past twenty y-two
years-will not be mised by the false statements of
unscrupuous rival manufacturers as to its purity and
wholesomeness. They know by practical experience,
when they buy DocLEYs YEAST POWDER that they
get ono of the best baking powders in the word-an
article of perfect purity of full strength and full
weight; one which always proves reliable in making
light wholesome and nu rtious biscuits bread rolls,
mullins, corn-bred, waes, and Gaze of every kind. 1t
stands to-day, as for the past twenty-five years. the

Dir. w. W. Wickes, of the Jefferson Sill
YER Reduction Works, who is now on his way
TO New York, expects to remain there about
ten days. Before his departure be expressed
himself as fully satisfied with the great value
of his property here and the assured success
under skilled management of the works in
which himself and associates have invested
their money. The reports of Mr.. Daggett,
MI. Stevens and other experts, brought from
Colorado and Utah, more than confirmed the
judgment of Mr.. Wickes in the wealth and
scope of the Jefferson, Boulder and Ten Mile
mineral districts, and the wisdom of per-
fecting and putting in immediate operation
the important reduction works with which
his name and means are identified. The ex-
animation of the practical men named was
prolonged and exhaustive, and upon the en-
couraging reports separately submitted by
them Mr.. Wickes proceeds with the strongest
confidence to carry forward the great enter

Companies Of the seventh Infantry On
Their Way to the Field Camp at
the Mouth Of the Muscleshell.

|
Last fall witnessed the departure for Fort
Smelling, Minnesota, of the larger part of
the Seventh 1nfantry-a regiment which for
nearly ten years had been quartered in Mon
| tana, and whose services in that time, amid
the alarms and dangers and actual experiences
OF war, indisputably linked its name with the
protection of our people through the most
trying ordeals of the Territory. With sincere
regret we parted with those brave and trusty
soldier friends, but the reluctancy with which
we let them depart was lessened by the Or
der which said part of the command should
remain spell longer But the time has
come when those who stopped behind are to
60, and while for few months they are not
absolutely to pass beyond our border, they
are to be stationed so distant from our towns
and settlements that their present going is q
virtual removal from Montana. Major Guido
1lges, as brave and accomplished a soldier as
the service can boast, and one of the most
efficient and best liked officers of the Seventh,
leads the four companies to the mouth of the
Muscleshell, where he is to make camp and
take command.
Company q, which reached this point
from Fort Ellis couple of days since, is
marching north to Benton. 1t has splendid
commanding officer in Captain George L.
Browning. Its other officers are Lieutenants
George d. Wright and S. R. Douglass, men
who have records we are all proud of. The
company was first stationed at Camp Baker.
In the summer of 1872 it was transferred to
Fort Shaw, where it remained five years, and
in the spring of 1877 was moved to Fort
Ellis. 1t took part in the Nez Perce cam
paign of that summer, suffering severe loss
in the Big Hole fight, and after short period
of daty at Fort Missoula was returned to
Fort Ellis, where it has remained until now.
1t leaves with its three officers and forty en-
listed men.
Company D, Major Comba and Lieutenant
Loder, en- route from Fort Logan, has been
stationed since its arrival in the Territory at
Fort Shaw and Fort Logan, was engaged in
the exciting campaign of 1877, and at Big
Hole and elsewhere was conspicuous for
gallantry.
Company H, Captain G. A. Coolidge, 1st
Lieut.. Kendrick and I'd Lieut.. Woodbridge
has been stationed at Forts Ellis and Shaw.
1t has brilliant fighting record. 1t lost its
former Captain T4ogan) at Big Hole, where
also its present gallant commanding officer
was severely wounded.
Company l, Lieutenants Van Orsdale and
johnson, has for the better part of ten years
been stationed at Fort Shaw. Its command.
ing officer (Capt. Rawn) is at present at Fort
Smelling. Its former First Lieutenant en-
glisb) was mortally wounded in the battle of
Big Hole, and died in hospital at Deer Lodge.
In parting with these soldiers we cannot
multiply words. We say, Goodbye and God
bless every one of you.
