The program was we'll rendered from
beginning to end. Our reporter
started in to mark X after the most
meritorious features and the program
showed q check mark after each name.
Miss Elsie +. Curtis, as president of
the class, made neat address. Class
history by Miss j. Maude Roper con-
tanned many points of interest; the
class numbers thirty eight, and they
are all workers. j. B. Webster's ora
tion gave evidence that the speaker
was q thorough Dakotan and under.
stood his subject. The class poem by
B. f. McLouth was brilliant feature
and manifested worthy talent. "Edn-
cation and the State" by Phillip
Mcguire received commendable ap-
plause. Miss Maggie Davidson's solo
was we'll rendered. The young lady
has q sweet and strong voice which
shows careful culture. We might 60
on and speak as we'll Of all particl-
pants in the program, but let this sui
flee.
MILITARY REVIEW.
At 4 O'Clock the two platoons OF ar
tillary marched out on the campus
with the cannons. They were fol-
some new flag, measuring 1Ox2O feet,
was hoisted by four young ladies and
the artilIery,lired alternately in salute.
The infantry gave an exhibition skir-
mish drill, firing blank cartridges at
the imaginary enemy and going
through their movements in a SOL
dierly manner. The battery gave a
pleasing display of their accomplish
ments, acquired through the efforts
OF their tutor, Lieut.. Leary.
CLASS OF 81.
The class day exercises of the semi:
ors was the happy event OF COM
mencement week and was only mar
red by the thought OF parting. Eaen
participant WED with each other in
trying to leave q pleasant impression.
The exercices were all good, many
OF which are deserving OF ill extended
mention but space torbids. The pres.
ident's address by Homer DAVIS and
the Grafton by W. d. Bell were we'll
delivered. The class Grafton by j. B.
Ham was not only we'll deliver ed but
showed thorough acquaint ance with
the subject. Many good thoughts
were produced as food for reflection.
The "class poem" by Miss Shannon
and the "class prophesy" by I. d. Al
drlch were among the enjoyable fea-
lures or the evening. "Distributio
Donorum" or the "iIlustrated be-
queathment" by Grant Houston Gre
ated considerable expectancy and
finally brought down the bouse.
These exercises will ever remain a
bright spot in the hearts OF the mcn-
bers of the class of 81. The follow.
ing is the very excellent program as
rendered.

If some party would put up good ten
stamp mill near DeLemar now they
would find no difficulty in getting plenty
of work for it to do. The owners of the
Manhattan mine are contemplating haul
ing several hundred tons of ore to Silver
City to have it worked. Jones & Ready
could get out big crushing at once. The
Ohio, the Chautauqua, the Webfoot and
several other mines have piles of ore out
which would pay well for crushing. Mr..
Seaton says he could keep mill run
ming steadily on ore from his Cow creek
property. Some good mill man should
get in on this chance for good bust
ness.

A nice little dance came off in town on
Saturday night. 1t took quite a lot of
rustling to get permission to occupy the
schoolhouse, but the boys got there just
the same. 1t was understood when the
miners Clipped in to help furnish the
schoolhouse that they were to have the
privilege to use it for dances, and the
trustees do not object; but they declare
they have a right to draw a line some
where, and when travelling musicians
assume that they have right to occupy
it to make money for themselves, by adj
vertising dances there without first get
ting permission to use the house, the
trustees think the line ought to be
drawn just little short OF their imper-
Thence.
