Twenty-slx Bright Boys and Girls Com
plete The Course in the High School.
COMMENCEMENT exercises opened
Thursday evening and on account of the
number in the class it became necessary
to occupy two evenings for the proper
rendition. Wellington citizens and
patrons always look forward to these
and other occasions in which the schools
are concerned with pride, consequently
they overtop everything else by being
the special events of the year.
The opera house was beautifully, and
tastefully decorated by the juniors,
in order that the surroundings
for the seniors might be all in
art and nature to make it memor-
abe and impressive as they bade fare
we'll to the high school of Wellington.
Evidently great pains had been taken
by the class to prepare their papers and
their efforts were crowned with success
to themselves and satisfaction to their
friends. The young ladies appeared
lovely in their gowns Of organdy
and the young men were neatly attired
in special cuts with their toilets careful.
ly arranged.
The productions were well rendered
and conveyed valuable suggestions, and
many were the presents which attested
the love and esteem the recipients were
held by the donors.
After twelve years Of study and clOst
application, it is but proper that the,
should now enjoy the iaureis they hav'
won and their many friends can bu
wish them pleasant pathway through
life.
Notwithstanding the temptations ar
many, it is to be hoped that each mem
ber will be able to stand up for tina
which is right, in order that their in
Auence may be felt, so that in afte
years they can loek back with nothing t
regret.

some good, wholesome advice to the

in substance that an education was one of
the essential things to bepOssessed obet-

education would accomplish nothing un-
less our energies were Joined with it and
in the right direction. Many persons,
he said, that had reached even higher

Baptist Snnday-Sehool Convention.
The fOrty-seyenth annual session of the
LOrain countyBaptist Sunday-schOol, held
at LOrain on Friday of last week, was
one of unusual profit and interest.
1t was a noticeable fact that all whose
namesappeared on the eprOgram, werepres-
ent either in person, or in pre-arranged

morning session, was an open parlia-
ment, conducted by the president, on the
subject, "The Best Sunday-School Teach
er ever had, and Why?"
In the afternoon, considerable time
was given to the presentation of topics,
and the discussion of the same, laden
with practical suggestions, in regard to
"0ur Works" In turn, "SOme Essentials
for IT, Results to be Aimed at"
'Mary and Martha Sides Of It," "SOme
DOn'ts that Apply to 1t; Timothy as an
Example" and some defects, cause and
cure.
During the question-bOx hour, many
knOtty questions that had been puzzling
workers were satisfactorily answered.
Worthy of special mention were the pa
pers Of the evening, on "My Duty to the
Work, as pupil, parent, teacher, super
intendent and pastor, given by repre-
sentatives of each, who had had exper-
ience, and knew whereof they spoke.
The officers who have served the past
few years, were again chosen, continuing
for president, G. A. Metcalf, Of Eyria;

IL Is Said TO Include tho Miners OF Thrs

IL IL Said TO Include tho Miners OF Three
States.
A dispatch from Ironwood. dated
January Ia, says: The local managers
OF the mining companies are becoming
aware OF the fact that the lately organ
lied Mineral Mine Workers Progressive
union, which aims to secure as members
every man working in and around the
mines OF Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota vii! soon cut Il considerable
figure among the ore producers.
The new union already has local
organization in every mining town In
the northwest and the list OF members
is rapidly increasing. The movement
is the out-growth OF the great Negaunee
and Ishpcming strike OF last year, and
the men propose 10 profit by the severe
lessons then learned.
General President Askew, and General
Secretary Nudge. who are in this city,
have made number Of speeches TO the
men. and have secured a large number ol
new members. They were both prom'-
nently connected with the Ne9apnet
and Ishpeming strike, and their feelings
against tho mining companies are ex.
trcmely bitter.
All the labor unions which have here.
tofore existed In the mining regions have
been almost purely OF political
nature, generally organized by some pro.
fcssional politician. who used the miners
as tools by which to gain political pre-
ierment. The new organization. how.
ever. is OF an entirely different nature,
as it is organized and oiliccred by the
men themselves and only men who are
employed in or around the mines are
eligible TO membership. They ALREADY
have a membership Of about 600 in thi.
city and their ranks are rapidly To-
creasng.
The new organization. in its dcclara'
tion oi principles, asks for an increase o
the wage scale all along the line, and
that such scale DO governed by the dan
ger OF tho position In which men are
compelled 10 work.
Eight hours to constitute a days
work.
The abolition OF the present system ol
hiring doctors, by which tho men ars
compelled to pay 81 each per month 10
a physician selected by the companics
and who is oftentimoa unsatisfactory tc
the men.
The eleetlon OF the mine inspector BY
popular vote, instead Of by the board o
supervisors. ms at present.
II the new organization h perfected Ia
tho manner proposed there Is not doubt
but that its influence win be greatly isli
throughout tho Michigan mining region
as expert miners arc very scarce even
now. and will undoubtedly BE- nloreao this
coming summer.

has already been contracted for and will
be operated next season. After the land
has been placed in tillable condition,
Mr.. yeIguth intends to erect distillery.
This will be supplied with grain largely
from his own raising, but will also un-
doubtedly afford convenient market
