Graduating Exercises.

The Fourteenth annual commence
ment of the Columbus High school took
place at the opera house Friday evening
last, June g.
The threatened rain at the time of
assembly land which realized before ad-
journment) was sufficient to keep away
any portion of those who usually attend
these exercises.
The class colors, purple and old gold.
were conspicuous in the adornment of
the galleries, while the stage of the
opera house was appropriately adorned
with potted plants, with Glass 1893, and
the class motto, "Post pr@lia, pr@mia,' ~
was prominent above the class as they
were ranged on the stage, with Superin-
tendent Williams, and the High School
teacher, Mrs. A. G. Ballou. To their
rear were members of the school board,
the official representatives Of the patrons
Of the school, whose management for
the year has been 80 marked q success,
viz: J. H. Galley, Henry Hockenberger,
I. Gluck, J. G. Becher, George Scott
and j. NJ. Gondring. Besides these,
were Rev. Nickel, who invoked Divine
blessing, and Rev. Weed, who pronounce
ed the benediction.
In front Of the stage we're the musi-
clans: Robert Saffrik OF Schuyler, A.
Boettcher, e. Pohl, 8. E. Marty, 8. L.
Bristol and e. G. Hockenberger. Their
fine xrpnderine of classical music was
highly appreciated by the audience, who
really had both a musical and literary
entertainment in the evenings enjoy
ment. In giving patriotic airs, rounds
Of cheers broke forth v hen they closed
with the lively strains of Yankee Doodle.
We are sorry that We cannot give in
type all the speeches of all the gradu.
ates, but must content ourselves with
very brief references to each. Miss
Flora Person Of Norfolk was elocution
teacher for the class, which evidenced
not only the patient, day-after-day work
Of their teachers for years, but also the
special training the elocutionist had
given them in the few days che was here.
The first Grafton was by
ANNA BoRNExAN.
"Debts and How to Pay Them" was
the theme. The debts treated Of were:
to tho Creator; to parents; to neighbors;
to friends; to mankind in general; to
literature; to discoverers and founders
Of nations and institutions; to religious
teachers and reformers, each division oi
the theme being taken up and aualyzed
logically, and very neatly expressed.
Not only the debts We owe, but how to
pay them were particularly interesting,
closing With the sentiment: to the An.
thor Of our redemption We owe our.
solves and the best service of our lives

r. p. Woeppel, Petersburg hog
buyer, now resides at the county Jail,
and will continue to do SO unless he
furnishes a $1,000 bond. The story Of
his wrong-doing is as follows, says the
Albion Argus: One day last week VIM.
Hartman discovered that several head
Of cattle were missing from his ranch
northwest Of Petersburg. Suspicion
was directed toward Woeppel, as he was
seen driving a bunch Of cattle in that
vicinity. He marketed eight head at
Madison the same day, took the money
realized from them aud went to South
Omaha. Sheriff Patterson was notified,
and on Woeppel's return he was arrest
ed at Humphrey and brought to Albion.
Woeppel says he is guilty, has waived q
preliminary trial, and, We suppose, will
throw himself on the mercy of the court.
Eastern farmers attending the Ex.
position should take look around the
state while they are here. We honestly
believe that they will not have more
favorable time than now for investment
in western lands or city property. Pri-
ces Of such property are much below
what the situation justifies, and are sure
to rise, and that, too, in the near future,
because the percentage Of profit on the
is comparatively high. Now
is the opportune time for the speculator
in lands; for the fathers Of families who
wish to provide farms for their children,
and for owners OF small tracts east, to
transmute them into larger and much
better holdings in the west. Look
around; investigate for yourself; think
the situation over, and you will thank
The JOURNAL for making these sugges-
tiOns.

Last Wednesday morning word was
received hero that Julius Rasmussen
had died suddenly at Omahs.
It appears that he had gone to take .
Turkish bath, and when thus engaged it
vas noticed that he was veEy ILL He
was removed to another room, but died
in short time.
The remains were brought to this city
Thursday, and the funeral took place
Friday afternoon, in charge OF the Ma
sonic fraternity, and was ono OF the lar
gest funerals ever seen in Columbus.
Mr.. Rasmussen was born in Denmark,
and had been engaged in business here
the past twenty-six years, having served
latterly - clerk for County Clerks Pohl
and Phillips. We understand he had
about 5000 in life policies.
He leaves q widow and six children,
besides host Of warm personal friends
to mourn his departure into the un-
known bourne. whence no traveller re-
turns"

May "a, from q. 8. Consul Hugh Pit
cairn at Hamburg, Germany, telling him
that man named J. T. Clark had died
at Eppendorf hospital, that city, on the
18th Of May. Among other effects, he
had EST in gold, and 1875 francs in sill
yer. The description is such that there
can be no mistake about it being our
fellow-citizen who left here some
months ago, With view to becoming q
missionary in Africa. The letter re-
ferred to said he was on his way from
Monrovia, Liberia. Mrs. Clark sent .
cablegram to the consul.

to greater activity; always beckon %
onward and upward-toward perfection.
The sentiment contained in Emersons
expression, "Hitch your wagon to q
star" was an illustration Of the central
thought Of the grafton. By industry,
truthfulness, self reliance, education of
the right kind. that is toward high
ideals, all the good Of life is accomplish
cd. We do not originate ideals, they
come from the Infinite, and the highest
ideal Of life results in the best life, now

The power OF appreciation is much
greater than We are apt to think. All
men are influenced by motive. A high
appreciation of that which is excellent
in art, literature or life, arOuses enthu-
siasm in the artist, the author, and in
the humble plodder along life's journey.
Appreciation means the union OF sensi-
bility and judgment. To he able to
appreciate merit in Others, We must have
merit OF our own. Appreciation is no
mean brother to inspiration.

FLORENCE ROUTSON.

The Young lady related in very in
teresting style. the story Of Silas Mar
ner, closing with this sentiment enforced
by the incidents narrated: Human
friendship is often spurious, that even
under the cloak of religion it often plots
to gain the advantage Of another. We
learn also that the man who maintains
his integrity, even though misunder-
stood and subject to disgrace for time,
will finally triumph over his accusers.

"A plan has been adopted by the

thus avoid being cast into unknown
