The Board of Education has decided
10 issue tickets OF admission 10 the
graduating exercises Thursday evening,
Nav 3lst, at the Opera House. This
plan has been for several years success
fully tried by the Normal school on
similar occasions. These tickets will be
left al some central place and will be
given free TO anyone desiring one. No
one can gain admIttance to the exercises
without a ticket and none can be secur-
ed at the Opera House that evening
Reserved seats can he secured upon tho
payment of small sum. Instead of the
usual exercises by the graduates, Rev.

Now that the hotel is assured too
much credit cannot be given the COM
mittees which have had the matter in
charge. Mr.. John Z. Noe has had more
to do with securing the hotel than any
one else. Mr.. John Klein and DIR. Foil
man put in the most time to the raising
of the subscription, though the other
members of the committee are deserv-
ing of praise for what they did. Mr..
Geo. +. Barr and the other trustees
have performed their duties well. The
subscriptions of the most OF the sub
scribers are merely irst-class business
investments. But those who gave
merely to help the matter along and
without expectation of receiving any
immediate benefits have put the rest of
the city under obligations to them. The
sacrifice Willard d Barney made on
their property entities them to com
mendation. Credit should be given to
those TO whom II is due and should be
gwen with no stinted measure.
