WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS
The only feature Of the stock market was the
excitement in Chicago Gas in consequence OF the
adverse opinion of the Attorney General Of I'LL
nOs. The stock opened anywhere between 81
and SO. and after the market had been quieted
there was a partial recovery. but the final loss
suffered by this stock 244 per cent The
transactions In II were nearly One-half OF the
total business. The rest Of the market main
tained remarkable steadiness and final changes
were frs ctiona advances Tie continuance Of
the strike on the Great NOrihern Railroad and
Of later troubles In other branches OF indus
try were absolutely without influence. and the
march Of industrial armies toward Washing
ton simply checked speculation 1t was ad
mitted that ali unfavorable symptoms had not
dislodged long stock and that neither foreign
home investors were frightened. The course of
foreign exchange was not indicative OF further
exports Of gold. while the Treasury reserve may
b.. strengt hened in various ways While the
general market dull aside from the furry
in Chicago Gas final changes were fractional
advances and the closing was strong. rather
than weak The trading was wholly profess
slonal. however. and the fluctuations may not
have been significant.

THE UNION PACIFIC REPORT

The report Of the Union Pacific Railway Com
many for the year ended on December 81 Is not
favorable showing. It may be intended chiefly
for the digestion Of Congress. which will soon be
called upon 20 take action on the extension OF the
debt to the Government Il is hardly probable
that foreclosure OF the Government lien Will be
insisted on. and certainly the Government does
not wish 10 engage in the practical operation OF
this or any other subsidized line. The report is
not such as the receivers would make. unless
reorganization was contemplated with the as
sistance of Congress There can be no re-
organization until Congress has approved an ex-
tension Of the debt due to the Government. The
circumstances which led to receivership are ex-
planned at some length. The following table

shown, the young man will probably
succeed at his fathers profession
Young men generally make a mistake
by leaving the farms and rushing to
the cities. On the farm they would
become independent five years after
reaching their majority. Few become
rich in the cities, and there is much
suffering due to overcrowding. Mr..
Plymat closed with an apostrOphe to
labor.
westward, Ho." was the subject of
an interesting Grafton given in an ex-
cellent manner by Miss Mable L.
Wood. She spoke of the constant
tendancy westward from the earliest
dawn Of history, and referred to the
migrations. The coming of the Pill
grim fathers was the beginning of the
great west now springing up. They
brought those qualities with them
that have made us great as a nation.
The ultimate highest civilization will
be in the western part of this country.
The hereditary restlessness has shown
itself in the eastern states. Every
thing in the West has been formed for
freedom loving people. The vast
ness of the West makes a broad-mind-
ed people. The western air is almost
Intoxicating in it's purity, and the
beauty of the scenery beggars descrip-
| tion. The West is bound to dominate
the East. The natural resources, only
partly developed, are wonderful in
their extent. The people are growing
better, and the country has fine flu
ture. The West will become the CEN
ter of art and learning. To the great
West of our country must be looked
for the greatest and final civilization.
Harry I. Pettis gave a defamation
entitled "Patriotism in Our Public
Schools" He exhibited fine voice,
proper gestures, and a good delivery
generally.
| Philip A. Helmer was excused from
giving his grafton on college
Athletics.
| Miss A. Lida Osborn was the valedic-
torian, and her grafton was entitled
''The Four-Leafed Clover" The ora,
tion, however, was omitted, and mere.
ly the valedictory given. This was
well prepared and was delivered in a
pleasing manner. She addressed her
self to the audience, thanking it fol
it's interest. She thanked the board
of education for it's kindness, and the
teachers for their unseltish work.
When she turned to the class, the
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-06-08

members arose. Her remarks to the
class were partly humorous and partly
retrospective and hopeful for the fu-
ture. She closed by saying: "Then
work, as though thou shoulds't live
for ages; worship as though thou
shoulds' die today"
The large chorus advanced and sang
Good Night, Good Night, Beloved,
in decidedly happy manner.
Superintendent Kenaston arose, and
the members of the class formed in
semi-circle before him. He spoke
feelingly and eloquently, saying that
commencement day closes one volume
of duties and opens another. You
have today reached mile stone, where
it is well to pause and reflect. Your
study on yonder hill should make your
lives broader, richer and better. This
should be a commencement of serious
thoughts and new purposes, hopes and
ambitions, and a determination to
participate in the activity around.
The pursuit of the good, the true and
the useful is the only thing to be fol-
lowed, and is attained only through
work. The opportunity for work to
the brave heart is boundless. You are
going into world of struggle, toll dis
appointment and drudgery. You will
be measured by what you are. Be not
discouraged at your first repulses.
Every Italy is beyond the mountains.
The world will ask how much power
have you to act your, part in the
world. Has the High school done
anything to assist you in your battle
of life. You must put into your lives
all OF love and light and joy that you
expect to take out of it. Be light
producers and radiators in the dark
ness of the earth. Better far than the
bravery of the battle field is the power
to bear in sunshine and sorrow the
burden of this life. May the protec-
tion of God be upon you in your future
| ways. This is the wish of parents and
teachers expressed tonight. 1t is my
pleasure to present to you, on behalf
of the board of education, your di-
| plomas. Remember that only your in
| dustry, integrity and Jealous worth in
! the world will make you great.
The fifteen diplomas were then pre-
sented. and the class marched to it's
seats
The exercises were closed by the
singing of the class ode, composed by
Miss Nellie NJ. Pinney. by an excellent
! quartet. The graduates were given
an ovation by their numerous friends,
who came forward to congratulate
them.

the schools. The grafton was forcibly
spoken.
Miss Marie O. Nicholson recited the
excellent poem, "Rhyme of the
Duchess May" She did it creditably
and we'll deserved the appreciative
applause that rewarded her efforts.
q Louis SwensOn was excused from
giving his Grafton On "The Influence
of Climate on Nation"
Miss Lillian f. Sterling advanced
and gave an grafton on "The Poetry
of the Nations" She said that each
nation has it's own individuality, and
SO with the poetry of the different ma
tions. In all ages and countries there
is but one instrument to be played up
on, the heartstringS of man. Man
kind had it's birth in the East, and
there music had it's birth. The ORR
entail poetry is irresistible, with it's
richness and mysticism. Greece has
produced some of the greatest poets,
whose works have come down to us.
The speaker referred in very compli-
mentary terms of Dante. The
poetry of the North differs from that
Of the South, as the eagle differs from
the birds of paridise. Like the peo-
| pie, the sagas Of the NorSemen are
rough and rugged. The English is the
most highly developed of all poetry.
Spencer brought into English poetry
the essence of harmony and made the
the language more expansive. Burns
is the best of Scotch poets. The sad
poems of Goldsmith make us burn
with Indignation at the wrongs of Ire
land. LongfeIlOw is our favorite poet,
and his mission is one of love. A poet
may rise in the west who will hand to
us the winning prize. This grafton
was excellently prepared, and was de-
livered forcefully and well.
Miss Nellie M. Pinney was excused
from delivering her grafton on
"Chiyalry."
A chorus Of ladies' voices rendered
"Stars of the Summer Night" and
before the Sun Awakes the Morn" in
highly acceptable manner. The
audience arose during the second part.
| Harry E. Plymat took for the sub
I ject of his highly praiseworty Grafton,
Choosing an Occupation" His de-
livery was above criticism. He held
that toll is necessary to attainment.
We work to live, then where is the
shame of labor? He who loiters and
refuses to work should be considered a
social reprobate. Every community
has this class. The greatest trouble
of the wealthy is to dispose of their
sons. In England, the eldest son in
herits the estate, and the rest must
work. The choosing of an occupation
is most important thing. 1t should
have respect to the aptitude and hap.
piness of the person. Heredity should
also be considered, as this is import
ant. Where no particular talent is

subject, "Arbitration VS.. War" His
article was well prepared ano the de-
livery excellent. He referred to the
evil of war and the large standing
armies, which are staggering the gov
eminent of Europe. In this day, the
cry for bread by the people has been
answered by a stone. There are econ
omic reasons now which did not for
merly exist, which lead to the belief
that arbitration may not be very Tar
off. The destructivenesS OF the
future war will far excel anything OF
the kind in the past. The economic
reasons are reinforced by social rea-
sons. In all parts of the world, and
especially in America, social discon-
tent is making itself manifest. War
increases the burdens of people and
is unnecessary and therefore an I'M
Just tax. Ignorance is said to be the
father of passion and prejudice, but
it is disappearing under the increased
educational facilities. The speaker
believed that sufficient national self
control can be secured to render arbi-
tration successful. The success of
arbitration is largely due to America,
which has thus added another beneti-
cience to the world.
Miss Lila e. Larkin gave an grafton
entitled Superstition" She spoke
distinctly and pleasantly. She said
that where people look upon God with
fear there superstition thrives, while
where God is looked upon with love
superstition sinks into the back
ground. Superstition is more widely
spread among the people than is or
dinarily thought. There are still some
who believe inlwitchcraft. The French
Canadians firmly believe in their
peculiar superstitions. The MeXicans
believe Tuesday unlucky, as we do
Friday. They have their omens,
some select few of which are believed
in by the educated. None Of US but
COu1C III COlUdCU WILL SOlllO oOI U VI
superstition every day. Miss Larkin
reviewed some of the most widely
known superstitions of this country.
Superstition is a baneful evil when it
influences thought and reason.
Miss Edith NJ Gibbons, who was to
have had an grafton on 'Kadesh-
Barnea," but was excused.
Samuel M. Pinney gave thought
full grafton on "PrisOn Reform, " well
spoken. He held the present system
is based on wrong principles. Eighty
two per cent of discharged prisoners
continue in their lives of crime, while
only eighteen per cent are reformed
by their imprisonment. 1t is no
longer tenable theory that crime is
inherited, any more than disease is.
What is inherited in each case is
tendency to crime or disease. Certain
moral tendencies may be developed by
the proper environments. 1t is en-
tirely wrong that young criminals are
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-06-08

put in witch the old and hardened
ones. The period of imprisonment
should be devoted to manual training
and mental instruction. Another re-
form is the indeterminate sentence,
which allows the retention of the
criminal until his moral tendencies
are strengthened. Environment,
which may cause crime, may also
cure it.
Miss Margaret M. Brophy followed
with a well prepared grafton on Gin
centives to Education" She spoke
readily and without embarrassment.
She said that it is the purpose of edu-
cation to prepare him to act success
fully in the world. There is no true
pleasure in life that the expansion of
mind does not make man better pre-
pared to enjoy. The ignorant man
could secure little benefit at the
Worlds Fair last year, as compared
with an educated man. One need not
leave the precincts of ones own home
to ascertain the advantage of aliberal
education. To the educated mind
alone is the time significance of ma
ture revealed. The delights of liter
allure are worthy Of sacrifice and
labor. Good books are unfailing
sources of delight, companions that
never fail young man. They give
him pleasure which poverty cannot
take away. A man cannot always be
active, and a well stored mind will re-
lieve the tedium of old age. A
rounded mind, by instruction and eX-
ample, can point out the higher mo-
tives of life. The presence Of such a
man is an inspiration. Ignorance is
the bore of society, and IS the parent
of vice. Intellect is the gift of God,
and it is our solemn duty to improve it.
Philip A. Helmer sang a solo,
''WOuld the Diamond Seem Such a
Peerless Gen." in manner to win
hearty applause.
Thomas J. Benedict then advanced
and gave an excellent grafton on the
theme, manual Training" He said
that industry and trained work is on
the decline in America. A man who
has manual training will not make a
mistake in choosing a vocation and
will make a success of life. He
will have that well founded character
of which the world is SO much in need.
The educators of the country are look
ing forward to the extension of manual
training schools. There are twenty of
these in this country now, and a
hundred others have branches in nor
NAL training. Germany and Sweden
are in the van with normal training.
! Business men want trained men. The
cost of introducing the system should
not be an insuperable objection. The
pride and glory of our country is in
our schools, and the advance of the
country will depend upon progress of
