SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
The High School Commencement Exer-
Cises Complete Success.

The fourth annual commencement
exercises of the caldwell High school
took place Thursday night at the opera
house. The building was very nicely
decorated with flowers, and the young
ladies all looked very prettY in their
class color, which was white and pink.
The class flower was pausy. The eX-
ercises commenced promptly at $3.50,
and the major portion of Caldwell was
present to partake of the enjoyment.
The rendition of the program was
complete success, and the young lady
graduates in particular are to be com
pIimented upon the excellent and elo-
quent manner in which their orations
were delivered. Miss Birdie May Cook
took for her subject, success or Fail
ure," and the Grafton was mastery
effort and brought forth round after
round of applause. Miss Lillian Mary
Vassar's grafton, "Wilful Waste makes
Woeful Want" did the young lady
credit and was very much appreci&ed
by those present, as was also MISS Mary
Margaret Keirnan's Grafton on; "What
is Education" The three young ladies
did remarkably well and Caldwell has
much reason to be proud of its grad
yates this year.
Hon. L. b. n. Anderson, State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction, de-
livered an address upon education in
general and congratulated the young
lady graduates and Caldwell in partieu'
lar for the interest displayed by them in
educational matters. The program
contained number of musical select
ions and Mr.. A. K. Steunenberg made
fitting and appropriate speech in pre-
senting diplomas to the graduates. Al
the conclusion of the program Prof
Broxon made few remarks and the
large congregation went home fully
satisfied with the evenings entertain
ment.

Silk Flag.
MRS. sTUENENBERG's GIFT.
Sherman Coffin Makes the Presentation
Speech in an Eloquent Manner
Cheers and Thanks From
the Company.

The people of Caldwell and Canyon
county are proud of their volunteers
and they have left no opportunity slip
by in which they could display their
feelings. The ladies have been more
than active, and it must have caused
the hearts of our volunteers in Com
pany A to throb with joy and pride
when a delegation of Caldwellites,
headed by their mothers, wives and
sWeethearts, arrived in Boise Monday
evening last to make formal presen-
tation to the boys of the beautiful silk
flag made by them as parting token
Of their love and esteem. The delega-
ton, headed by Mrs. c. II. Shaw, Mrs.
NJ. B. Gwinn and Miss Katherine Rob.
ertson, the ladies who had the matter
in charge, left Caldwell on the regular
evening train in coach run down from
Nampa to accommodate the excursion.
The public school was closed for the
occasion and the school children at
tended in body. The Statesman gives
the following account of the presenta-
tation
"a delegation of eighty, four persons,
the principal portion of whom were
ladies, came to this city on yesterday

sent Company A of that city with their
best wishes and flag.

met the ladies at the Overland hotel.
Company A lined up in front of the
hotel where the ladies had occupied the
Veranda.
sherman Coffin was selected to make
the presentation speech and his elo-
IQuent and feTyent words brought tears
to the large assemblage COngregated in
the street. Mr. Coffin took his position
on the veranda and addressed the COM
pany, First he presented the volun-
teers with the Holy Bible as a gift
from Mrs. Frank Steunenberg which, g
said, she had presented as beacon to

Women and the War.

american Economist:
The American woman has part to
play In the war with Spain. Her OPP
portuity comes in the shape of a move
ment that has originated in Washing
ton among the members Of the Ameri-
can Woments Patriotic League, but it
is a movement that may easily become
general among the women of the
United States. It is proposed by the
Washington organization TO institute
retaliation and reprisals against France
on account of that cOuutry's attitude
of sympathy for Spain. Sensible and
effective is the policy contemplated. 1t

one OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine
aud as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is
from careless local treatment of other
diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
TO weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
Tested In the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage, is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours,
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail, upon receipt of three two
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention The Expositor and
send your address to DIR. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, n. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

FRUIT CROPS SUFFER.
Inc unexpected Cold Weather Causes
Severe Damage in Western

Chicago, March 24.-Fruit in MANY
states has been severely injured by the
unexpected cold snap Of Tuesday night
and Wednesday, as is shown by the fol-
lowing dispatches:
Nashville, Ill.-A severe blizzard struck
this section of the state Wednesday and the
early fruits and garden truck are greatly
damaged.
Mount Vernon, Ill.-The warm spring
rains that have been falling almost con-
tlnuously since March 10 have turned to
sleet and heavy damage to early fruits of
all Kind Is certain to be the result
Independence, KAMA regular "norther"
prevailed over southern Kansas and fruit
has suffered severely.
Little Rock, Ark.-Reports from north
western Arkansas show destruction has
been wrought in the fruit crops of that Sec
ton by recent heavy rain, snow and sleet
The strawberry crop of the entire north
ern tier of counties has suffered thou
sands of dollars worth of damage, while
all other fruits except the apple crop are
believed to have been killed.
Dallas, TeX.-Many fruit growers assert
that the blizzard has practically ruined the
Texas crop. Others say that the freeze
was not severe and general enough to do
such widespread damage, but all agree that
the loss will be serious.
Columbia, Mo.-Scattering reports re-
ce1ved by the state weather bureau indi-
cate that the severe cold prevailing
throughout Missouri has damaged the
growing wheat crop materially. It is
thought that the fruit crop has not been
seriously damaged, as the buds were not
sufficiently swollen

be sent to congress soon after the re-
port on the Maine question:" The Gu
ban message, as forecasted by prom
inent republican, will waive the ques-
ton ofsthe Maine disaster, and, putting
aside that awful occurrence, will be in
effect a declaration to Spain that the
present methods of warfare in Cuba
must cease. It will result in interven-
ton in case Spain demurs. The mes
sage will be accompanied by the re-
ports of the consuls in Cuba.
Some Bits of Gossip.
It is said that Spain will not declare
war against the United States; that the
attitude of the Sagasta government is
to avert hostilities. Unless congress
becomes excited when the report on the
Maine is received the chances are said
to favor an amicable adjustment of the
difficulty. President Mckinley has
made considerable Roadway in restrain
ing the radical pro-Cuban members of
congress-, and by this means has ma
terially minimized the danger of war.
Preparations made for emergencies
are gratifying to the heads of the gov
eminent. Every day that passes adds
to the efficiency of the naval and mill
tary forces.
A Jacksonville (Fla.) dispatch says
Judge-Advocate Mark arrived there
Wednesday night with the Maine report
and took the train for Washington.
The document is locked in a safe on
the same train.
Dry Tortugas has been transferred to
the navy department, and extensive i'm
provements will be made there.
1t is understood the wreck of the
Maine will be abandoned. Instead of
trying further to recover what is re-
naming of the battleship it is to be
cleared from the harbor by the use of
dynamite.

About to he Reached.
Washington, March 24.-The feeling
is universal throughout official circles
that the elimination of the Spanish
crisis is near at hand. With the report
OF the Maine court of inquiry only a
little while off, with the white house
the center of Il long and earnest con-
ference between the president and the
party leaders of congress, and with ex-
ceptional activity towards emergency
preparations in the war and navy de-
partments, there was abundance of evil
dence that definite results regarding
the Maine disaster and the Cuban ques-
ton in general were about to be
reached. -"
To Act on Humane Grounds.
The prevailing impression among the
republican leaders of the house is that
the president will intervene in Cuba on
humane grounds, but it is positively
stated by one of them, who is close to
the president, that the Intervention will
not come until after the report Of the
board Of inquiry into the Maine disaster
goes to congress. The two questions
will be treated separately said he.
