THE LADS TURN UP.
The Englishmen Wanted at
Their Home in Sheffield,
Are Found.
Marriage of Another Popular
jamestown Young
Couple.
\ Rebekah Degree Lodge
Instituted in the City
Yesterday.

Inc wet WoaCler SATURDAY evening
did not appear to 3ampen the enthusi
asm OF the Young Mems Democratic
club, and the meeting called for tn
purpose of endorsing the nomination o
Cleveland and Stevenson was complet,
success. There were no ladies present
but the attendance of voters filled tn,
room. The rally was held in the Glad
stone annex, which had been prepared
for the occasion. A large flag was drapee
across the rear of the hall and a portrait
OF Cleveland adorned an easel on The
platform.
While waiting for the 8 o'clock train tc
bring Col. John D. Benton from Fargo
the jamestown band discoursed some Of
its best music. The train was on time
and Col. Benton was greeted with cheers
Secretary Frank LEM escorted him to
the hall and the meeting was at once
called to order by President Marion
Conklin.
The first speaker was Hon. George
Lutz, who gave his address from manu-
script. It dwelt upon the Importance
of maintaining the freedom and equality
Of the people, embarrassed by sump-
tuary and class legislation, and the sentl-
ments uttered we're heartily applauded.
Col. Benton commenced his remarks
with an eulogy of the democratic candi-
date, which was greeted with cheers.
He compared the work of the Mime
apolls and Chicago conventions, in favor
of the latter. The much mooted tariff
question then came in for prolonged
discussion, in which the stock argument
that "the tariff is tax" was fully elabo-
rated. He claimed that the democrats
today occupied the same position on this
question that Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and
Garfield occupied in their time, and paid
a fine compliment to those magnificent
leaders. Harrison, Mckinley
and Tom Reed were given an artistic
roast, however, and they we're held up to
the audience as sample OF degenerate
Mr.. Blame, Col. Benton
alleged, was now free trader-he had
changed his views after the 1888 election
and Jumped from the high pinnacle of
protection square into the lap of free
trade" Absolute free trade was de.
manded by the northwest, the speaker
said, and under it, he claimed, no ''trust"
could exist. Col. Benton closed his ad-
dress in humorous vein, declaring that
while many thousands of republicans
would vote Tor Cleveland not all of them
could be relied upon to do so. He was
enthusiastically applauded at the finish.
J. Purcell Baker was the last speaker
and was accorded close attention. He
rebuked one of the speakers at the
recent Harrison ratification for waving
the bloody Shirt" and said democracy
presented the living issues Of today,
upon which he spoke at some length.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for the democratic nominees.

2ET GIRL GRADUATES.
High School Exercises at the Opera
Rink.

High School Exercises at the Opera
Rink.
The annual exercises of the city high
school are always looked forward to with
pleasure by our citizens; and the crowd
that was present at the Opera rink Friday
night showed that this years exercises
we're no exception to the rule. Though
the assemblage was kept in waiting an
unusual length Of time, yet they we're
amply repaid for their patience, when
the exercises began.
The graduating class this year was
unusually small, consisting of only two
members, but these two acquitted them
selves most admirably. Neither of the
speakers showed the least bit of embar.
rassment, and what is very unusual, they
each Of them spoke SO as to be clearly
heard in the farthest part OF the hall.
Miss Luella McHarg made startlingly
bold plea for the fullest industrial Free
dom" for both men and women, and MISS
Nellie Lenhart gave clear and convinc-
ing presentation of the cost Of success In
any undertaking.
A very striking feature of the program
was the music. 1t was rendered by the
best instrumental and vocal talent in the
city. Each piece on the program was Of
the highest order, but the violin solo by
Miss Schwellenbach was evidently the
most taking rendition of the evening.
The graduating class had invited Rev.
s. E. Ryan ito deliver an address to the
audience on education, which he did in
his own individual style.
As these exercises ended Prof. Fishers
connection with the schools, he took oo-
casion to say good bye to both pupils and
patrons.

VALE JOHN ROBINSON.
Only One Performances in James
tOwn..Enjoyed by a Large Crowd.

| Ou1y One performance IN James
tOwn..Enjoyed bv Large Crowd.
The circus closed a successful visit
here Monday, the performance being
greeted by crowded house. The after
noon show was particularly we'll at
tended. People came from many parts
of the valley, LaMoure, Sanborn, Grand
Rapids, Carringten, and in fact from all
the tributory towns. The spectacular
feature of Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba was we'll put on and very attrac-
tive. The chorus girls, Of whom there
were goodly number, danced sklllfully
and the procession of oriental novelties
was we'll received. After the show, how
ever, it was rather startling to see many
of the good queens handmaidens seek
the blind pig resorts to quench their
thirst with beer.
During the performance, when some
twenty little Shetland ponies were being
driven rapidly around the ring tandem,
one fell down, 1t being his first trip, and
was stepped on and dragged along until
almost killed. He was rescued by circus
attendants, however, and nearly all the
children afterward went to the keeper to
find out if their little favorite had been
hurt. A baby Shetland pony was born
here, Sunday, and was an object of
intense interest. 1t was little bit of
horsehesh not taller than an average dog,
could easily pass under it's colt relatives
in the herd.
The circus paid 500 license which will
not much more than cover the extra ex-
penses Of policemen, etc.
There was good deal of dlsappoint-
mept Monday over the failure of the
circus men to give an evening perform
ance. Shortly before O'Clock the appear
ance Of the heavens was so threatening
that the proprletors of the big show de-
cided not to take the risk OF having their
tents ripped to pieces, and SO all their can
vas was hastily pulled down and the
evening entertainment abandoned.
Many had come from a distance to
be present. AS the shower soon passed
off and the evening was very pleasant
the circus people and intending patrons
were both G,ing some tall kicking.
Robinson has had some disasterous ex.
periences with Dakota winds, and did
not want to take any more chances.
From the sale of tickets it was learned
that about 5000 people were present
Monday. The admission was so cents,
and rs cents for children under years.
This is the first time that the price of
circus tickets has ever been as low as so
cents for adults in this city.

GLEEFUL GRADUATES,
The Closing Exercises of st,
Johns Academy-Mirth
and Melody.
High School Entertainment at
the Opera Rink On
Friday.
Only One Performance of
Robinson's Circus in
Jamestown.

Notwithstanding the rain Tuesda,
which threatened to keep many ladies
indoors, there was large attendance q.
the court house to witness the closing
exercises of st. Johns academy. And
nobody was disappointed, the entertain.
ment proving to be one of the most
pleasing ever given in the city. The
pupils who participated all performed
their parts we'll, and an unusually popu-
lar program of music and recltatlons was
presented. In addition to this clever
comedy was produced, under the caption
"Never Judge by Appearances" This
was heartily enjoyed by the spectators,
who manifested their appreciation of the
credltable manner in which 1t was pre-
sented by according each of the young
actresses frequent applause.
The entertainment opened with an
entrance march, followed by vocal
chorus entitled "Summer Fancles." The
me]odious voices of tho Misses j. Smith,
A. True, F. Getchel, A. Ray, f. Kleine
and X. Drlscoll blended nicely. An in.
strumental trio by the Misses I.
Hokinson, A. Hanley and A. Blackwell
was the next number, and very
pleasing one. Miss Bar bara Fergus reci-
tation, the 'Legend of St. Christopher"
was excellent both in sentiment and de-
livery. 1t was followed by Miss Lucy
Bills violin solo, and the easy manner in
which this accomplished little lady exc
cuted her number called forth general
appreciation.
After the comedy, the regular program
was resumed, embracing the beauties of
Trovatore, Traviata and Slcilian Vespers,
by the Misses A. OFT, J. Bowman, L.
McGratb, and A. Hanley; a boys song,
Heroes accompanied by the Misses M.
Rellley and A. OFT; recitation, by Miss
Laura Bowman, and sextette of man
dolins, violin, guitar and piano, by the
Misses J. Smith, H. Coggeshall, E.
Geiseler, K. Tllden, L. Bill and A. OFT.
All were rendered in the best possible
manner.
One Of the best features OF the evening
was the national songs, given by young
ladies IN appropriate costumes. The
"gray" sang "Dixie," and the "blue"
sang columbia, gem OF the ocean" and
"Red, White and Blue" Then "Home,
Sweet Home" was given in chorus, with
excellent effect. The last number on the
program was Miss Lizzie McGrath's
essay on BATTLES of Life" It was fine
composition and added greatly to the
popularity Of this young student, who
was awarded the graduating medal at the
close.
The presentation Of medals concluded
the exercises proper, AMI Mozart's "Jesu
Mater Ave. ended the concert program.
The academy is to be congratulated upon
the success achieved.

Ball-players are cheap as dirt this year."
These words fell from the lips Of
Squire" Donati yesterday afternoon, and
were addressed to DIsPArcH reporter
who called to pay his respects to the cor
pulent Italian in his little place at Egh-
teenth and Franklin. The air was redo
lent with the fragrance of Goldfish balls
and the Squire" was in his most genial
humor. He had on his best suit Of clothes.
and his frog-like figure assumed over
whelming dimensions as he continued.
" Yes, SIR" said he. with twinkle IN his
bright black eyes, "you can tell the peo-
pie that didn't lose any money OF base

each have 20 put up about $3.50. III IS my
idea to require each club to have at least
six PLAYERS who are Virginians so as 10
keep up local interest. There will be ak
empires (umpires), two of whom will
be substitutes. These will be paid regu-
lar salaries. as will also the players. Tho

than S75 nor less than $40.
