Senior Class Of the Crystal Falls High School
Receive Their Diplomas.
The commencement exercises of the
Crystal Falls High School were held in
the audience chamber of the court house
ON Thursday evening last A. usual a
very large audience assembled To wit
ness the exercises and they were well
repaid Tor their efforts. The court room
h a thing of beauty in itself. but the
tasteful decorations made by the juniors
and teachers set off the beauty of the
room TO greater advantage. The centre
piece oi the decoration was Old Glory
and around il were house plants and
flowers in abundance.
The music OF the evening was all verv
good so good In faet that any attempt
TO pick out exceptions would be i'm
possible.
The centre Of attraction was, ofcourse,
the class oE '97 which consisted uf Miss
Amy Il. Wright and Miss Daisy M. Henry
and their work was ~ credit 10 their
school; TO their teachers and TO them.
selves.
The subject Of Miss IIenry's discourse
was Free Cuba" aud her presentation
OF IL was excellent. The thread OF her
eassy being that revolution of forces
can be put down, but a revolution oi
ideas never cnn. Miss Wrights subject
was "Woman's Place in the Present
Century" and her discourse wns
Tull OF thought and was we'll
presented. The kernel OF the lis
course being that il is the agency of
woman that serves to help evolute man
along those lines of human sympathy
that finally results in true manhood.
Mr.. Harrington's address 60 the class
was thoughtful and entertaining; the
pith of his talk being summed up in the
four adomitiOns he made To the class
viz-be true, he just, be diligcnt, be sym
pathetic.
Supt. Mickcns then ptesented the
diplomas to the graduates after having
breiily reviewed the work of the class
during their school life.
just before the close oi the exercises
Mr. Mckens took occasion To bid good
bye To the people OF Crystal Falls, whom
he has served Tor the past five years as
superintendent Of their schools. In his
relation to the schools OF Crystal Falls
Mr. Mickens has always been conscien-
tious md painstakng, and he leaves our
clty with the well wishes Of it's people
universally expressed in his behalf

American Phy,icAns MT surprise ! vt the
Zurica Operation.
CHICAGO. Dec. X. Chicago surgeons
have not been SURPRISED or carried
away by the Schlattsr operation in
Zurich. They acknowledge that the
removal Of a human stomach had not
been accomplished until the Switzer-
land operator performed it. While
willing to accord the operator all the
credit that is due him, the surgeons Of
Chicago assert tina, no new field i'm sci
ence has been opened. The case, they
say, is a unique one and cannot
be made a base for general opera
tions of this nature. In other words,
people who have cancerous growths
in their stonachs will not be in
clined to rush away to the nearest
physician and demand of him that he
cut out the stomach and III this way
take away the real cause OF their mis-
cry. Neither will doctors begin to
cut out the useful organ at Tire first
sign OF cancer, tulnor, peritonitis or
other affection of the stomach or'its
membrane. While the operation may
be attempted again on account of the
success of the Schlatter experiment,
it is by no means certain, say
the learned surgeons Of Chi
cago, that the patient would
survive after it is performed. They
are not sure that Annie Lands will,
live long, even though it is stated that
she is increasing in weight and seems
to be growing healthy once more.
The anatomical savants Of this town
doubt that she would last long If she
were taken from the hospital and com
PEELED to do trying work. Without
the stomach there is something miss.
ing that will stand person well when
unusual effort and physical exertion
are demanded.

sued for damages, under the circum.
