"Tell The 'cruth." !"

EDITOR JoURNAL:-HayinS heard j,
stated that lecturer SObieski was inter
ruptsd by me for quoting statistics de
rogatory to tho liquor traffic, feel j,
my duty to explain matters to such thai
did not attend the lecture.
Mr.. Sobieski was not interrupted when
making quotations, but when he made
the broad and sweeping assertion that
the prohibition party was cheated out
! OF over 10000 votes at the election in
1880, when the proposed prohibition
amendment to the constitution was
voted upon.
This assertion implied an accusation
OF the men acting as judges and clerks
OF that election whose duty it was to
duly receive, record and count the votes
cast.
To say that the prohibition party was
cheated ont Of 10000 votes is equivalent
to saying that those men had stuffed
the ballot boxes, committed fraud and
violated their official oath. The people
were then particularly careful in their
choice, and circumspect in their judg-
ment OF the men chosen to perform the
functions OF judges and clerks, it being
the sincere wish Of all that the will of
the majority OF the people should pre-
vail. With very few exceptions the
citizens acting as such officers were
honest and disinterested in the highest
sense of the word, and whose whole
record was one of honor and truth.
The result Of their count was accepted
by the people as the legitimate result of
a statutory election, and to come now at
this late date and stigmatize those men,
about 1000 in number, as ballot-box
suffers and frauds, is a personal afrOnt
to them and an insult to the people of
Nebraska.
1t is to be hoped that mankind will,
through the Medium of public schools
and higher educational institutions that
are accessible to all. ascend to such
state of enlightenment and moral con-
dltion as to make temperance lectures a
thing of the past.

The Quill has this to saw of the O

The Quill has this to say of the out
fit that the Schuyler officers were after
up here last week: "Just before going
to press We learned that some horse
traders, who were camped near here and
were working between Columbus and
North Bend, stole a number of sets of
harness on Wednesday night, among the
lot being a set of Geo. Schuessler's and
one set of c. E. Mapes' at Rodgers.
They tracked the outfit this way and
Schuessler. Storms and Sheriff Kroeger
went on till near Columbus, where they
found the outfit and arrested three men
and a woman. Mr.. Schuessler on the
way down found dozen sets of harness
under a small culvert this side Of Co.
lumbus. Several sets were taken from
Schuyler. When near Schuyler, the
horse traders team in which the sheriff
and Storms were. turned north at a
rapid rate and Schuessler, supposing
that the Williams had overcome our men
and we're escaping, came on in and re-
ported. A number of citizens armed
and drove out in pursuit, but found they
had only turned north to 60 to the fair
grounds where their stock was. This is
a hard outfit aud the penitentiary is the
place for them. 1t was a neat capture.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The Tenth Annual Commencement Attended
by Hundreds Of Interested Spectators.

Friday evening the opera house was
crowded, as it usually is, when the
youth of our public schools are con-
cerned in the exercises.
The stage was fitly decorated for the
occasion, and on the east side were
members of the school board, on the
west side, Mrs. Merrill, principal of the
high school. As the graduates spoke
their pieces they took seats in line with
their teacher, Mrs. Merrill.
The orchestra for the occasion was,
leader, E. Pohl, 1st violin; Charles
Miller and Frank Noel, I'd violins; s. E.
Marty, clarinet; A. Sauer, flute; Frank
Stovicek, cornet; John Stovicek, from
bone; A. Boettcher, bass viol. They
played four selections, which were high
ly appreciated by the audience.
After an overture by the orchestra,
Rev. Bross asked divine blessing upon
the exercises.
The salutatory by Miss Cora B. Scott
contained sentiments worthy the young
lady, and her manner upon the stage
certainly showed her native good sense.
1.-The Voyage Of Life" which was the
theme of her discourse, had many bright
passages.
w. H. Lehman, whose Grafton was on
the subject, 'The Young American"
presented a fine appearance on the stage,
was deliberate, self-possessed yet ami
mated, and gave evidence that when cut
loose from the formalities of such an
occasion and called upon in actual
affairs of life to do his part, with that
practice which ''makes perfect" he will
be decided success.
Miss Beulah NJ. Wheeler, by the treat
ment of her theme, I'VE Build our own
Monuments" as well as by her manner
on the stage, evidenced that she fully
appreciated the truth of the sentiment,
a very appropriate subject of thought
and discourse by the youth of America.
One could imagine that Anna Dickinson
the famous political orator, might have
been in her youth much such a girl as
Miss Wheeler.
Miss Harriet NJ. Scofeld's theme
Home, Sweet Home," struck a respon-
sive chord in the hearts of her listeners,
and evidenced ability out of the Or
dinary, as to the matter of her Grafton,
especially. The close of it was accom-
panied by the well-known tune in piano
and violin duet in the distance.
w. J. Rickly selected a subject inter-
esting to every intelligent person of
these times, and of whom and his
achievements we cannot hear too much,
''The Wizard of Menlo Park" His man.
ner was self-possessed, enunciation clear
and emphasis good.
Miss Katherine NJ. Speice showed
good common sense in the preparation
of her Grafton, and her treatment of the
theme, MAN is Progressive Being"
did justice to her as student, and gave
promise of her future worth.
Miss Grace NJ. Clark, in the valedic-
tory, showed unusual decisiveness for
one 80 young, good use of language,
and a commanding, penetrating voice.
In her manner, and especially when ad.
dressing the other graduates, one could
readily imagine, for the moment, that
it was customary occasion with her.
Sup't Scott then delivered the address
to the class, and Secretary Taylor, in
the absence of President Henry, after
giving a summary of facts in regard to
the schools Cfor which we cannot now
find space, awarded the diplomas.

Jake Thomas was the name of tho
Schuyler policeman who was shot one
night by a tramp, whom he was about
to arrest. 1t was a forty four caliber
revolver, the ball penetrating only
through the skin, passing about eight
inches sideways and lodging near the
center of the abdomen. Thomas fired
at the fellow but missed him. The
JOURNAL gave a description of the fel-
low last week, and We learn that he has
been seen here since the shooting.
