The Common School Commence.
ment of Allen county was held in the
Opera House in this city Friday even.
ing June %. The class was an un.
commonly large one and represented
all parts of the county. Many of the
parents drove in during the day
bringing the young folks with them.
By SIS the house was filled to its ut
most capacity.
| The program was introduced by q
mixed quartette, after which Rev. M.
+. King invoked the divine blessing.
Miss Lulu Kline of Moran, in very
appropriate words, spoke of the viz.
tues, patriotism and statesmanship of
Thomas Jefferson.
| Miss Ruby Christy followed with
profitable Trifles," which empha-
sized the Importance of doing well the
little things at hand rather than
waiting for an opportunity to attempt
great things.
The solo by Mrs. Ida M. Reece was
enjoyed by all for her rendition was
perfect.
We heard from Miss Emma Ohlfest
how Franklin toiled from boyhood
overcoming poverty and at last ris-
ing to places of honor and trust.
Miss Eva Burkholder recited ''How
Aristarchus Studies Elocution," and
fully demonstrated her ability i'm this
line of work. She answered the en-
core with a "Sneeze."
Whispering Hope" was the title of
vocal duet rendered by Misses
Gladys Thayer and Myrtle McLaugh-
lin. The harmony of tone with which
these young ladies expressed the SEN
timents of the song proves that it is
possible for one to acquire quite a de-
gree of proficiency by the time he
leaves the common schools of our
State.
In a we'll worded grafton Miss Alice
Michael defined the term Gentle
man, She emphasized the actions of
a man and not his looks.
"Step Ever Forward was the title
of Miss Pearl Hunters remarks,
which advocated progress along all
lines of action.
A. l.. Higgins next favored us with
solo.
Tho diplomas were presented by
Prof. S. S. Estey. He urged the class
to be true to themselves, their friends
and to their country; to be very con-
siderate when leaving the farm for
the city life. He pointed out the evils
of the people crowding into the cities |
and urged them to complete their ed |

no hope for her, but two bottles of DIR.

life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida

dreadful cold, approaching consumpt-
ion, tried without result everything
else, then bought one bottle of DIR.

weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING,
Alb. Marsh Instantly Killed by Bolt from
Heaven.

Alb. Marsh, for many years the driv.
er of the Pennsylvania hotel omnibus
was killed by lightning ut about
o'clock last Tuesday morning. He
was on his way with the bus to the
residence of Noah Shaffer, in the ex-
treme south pert of town, where he
was to get MIR. Shaffer's daughter,
Mrs. Newport, who was to take the
north bound train to her home in In
diana. The storm was at its height
and when the bus was within about
block of Mr.. Skaters, Arthur
Thomson. the hotel clerk, who had
been half asleep inside the omnibus,
was awakened by an uncommonly
vivid flash. The horses stopped an
instant then dashed off on q run.
They ran past Mr.. Skaters and on
down toward Elm creek. Thompson
stayed in the'bus till he could see the
creek and then, fearing that the hors-
es would dash into the swollen
stream, he jumped out. The horses
ran down the steep incline to the
waters edge then veered to the right
and were stopped by wire fence.
Thompson followed and, climbing on
to the bus, found Alb. lying back
along the top of it, dead. He then
ran back to Mr.. Shaffer's and got
him to go down to the bus while he
went on up town after Mr.. Bennett.
The horses were extricated from the
wire and it was found that neither
they nor the bus showed any injury
whatever from the bolt that had kill
ed their driver. The remains were
taken at once to the late home of the
deceased. DR.. Boulson was called
and every effort made to bring back
life, but without avail. There was
no mark anywhere upon the body, to
show where the subtle fluid had en-
tered or left on its fatal mission, but
it was evident that death had been
instantaneous.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at $3.50 Tuesday after
noon, under the auspices of the A. O.
U. W., Rev. King officiating and
were very largely attended.
James A. Marsh has lived in lola
a great many years, engaged most of
the time in the business of delivering
freight and express, and was highly
esteemedssas man and a citizen. He
was industrious, temperate and hon.
est, and leaves a good name behind
him. He was insured for $1,000 in the
A. o. U. W., and in addition he leaves
to his family pleasant home, free
from debt, and considerable other

dren who are thus so suddenly and |
stricken, have the heartfelt |
sympathy of the entire community.
