Glass Day in cresco.

Thursday of last week was class day
for Cresco High school. the exercises
doing credit not only to those taking
an active part in the exercises of the
day but rejecting credit upon the en-
tire school, upon its instructors and
its board of directors. 1t is well
recognized fact that the intellectual
standing of people is measured by
the public spirit manifested and shown
in the support of it's public schools,
and in the general advancement of
whatever tends to the moral elevation
of the people. The tax-paying public
has demonstrated upon more occasions
than one that it is ready to contribute
all that is needed for the maintenance
have demonstrated that they are not
unmindful of the vast benefits to be
derived therefrom, and that all it's
blessed privileges will be improved.
The class of 1899, one of the largest of
Cresco High school and one of the best.
What its members have so auSpiciouS-
ly begun, they must constantly i'm
prove by going forward to other
heights of learning or their diplomas
will be as so much waste paper. There
is no virtue in standing still, it ac-
complishes nothing; the top of the
ladder is only reached by constant eff
fort, no matter what the vocation, un-
remittingly applied. The music for
the occasion was furnished by Prof.
Tonolli'S orchestra. was inspiring,
classical, grand. The salutatory by
Clarence Thomas waS-a production Of
merit. delivered in excellent taste and
spirit. ''Ideals, by Miss Alma Cole
was we'll written, we'll delivered, COM
endable in ever way. Class poem, by
Miss Jessie Steinman, possessed many
excellent features and was we'll deliy-
cred. Miss Mildred Rand gave an es-
say on lessons from the life of Long
fellow, with liberal quotations from
his poems. Miss Ruby Beadle wrote
and delivered the Glass History, full
of quaint and happy hits and points.
The validictory poem was by Miss
Nellie Graves, and was very credible
production. At its conclusion the
class gave piece of vocal music, show
ing some good voices with fine capa-
bilities under proper instruction. Prof.
Ling then announced that the gradu-
ating exercises would occur in the
Opera House Tuesday evening, June
18th, commencing at 8 O'Clock, that
the charge for admission would be but
10 cents when it would be worth so
cents to see the class. The gradual
ing class then arose, and preceding
Prof. Ling marched from the school
room to the lawn where the ceremony
of dedicating the boulder upon which
was inscribed the class motto, Bright
Lights" $780, the dedicating speech
having been made by Maurice Gregory,
a very sensible production. The class
cheer was then given three times when
the people dispersed Every body
proud of the class, of the school and OF
its excellent corps of instructors.

The Medical Briy handles boards Of
health without gloves, as witness the
following from an editorial in May is
sue:
Health boards are simply political
bodies. They do not represent the medical
profession. Their time and energies
are devoted chiefly to the promulga-
tion of fads which will increase their
power and influence. The oppressive
measures which boards of health have
adopted in some of the States, med
ding with the individual and property
rights of citizens, calls for organized
opposition. Not long since, the New
York Board of Health went the length
of threatening to stop the running of
trains on the elevated railways. The
same power has compelled private citi-
zens to tear down buildings which the
board had condemned-at consider
able loss. Arbitrary actions of this
kind constitute outrageS which must
be vigorously combatted."
The average health board is in it's
glory when it can do something theat-
rical-like rushing patients through
the streets in changing ambulanceS,
clubbing mobs into subsection for vac
cination, or doing something of the
sort to attract attention. If they
would contine themselves to keeping
their respective cities clean they
would be very useful bodies. But they
love power and notoriety. -Homepath-
ic Envoy.
How these medical journals can thus
insult boards of health is beyond our
comprehension. The idea that they
should see to having the filth removed
from a city is utterly preposterous.

Making Hay.

In a few weeks you will be making
hay and the crop will be immense.
Are you prepared to handle it? 1t is
idle to try cutting this heavy crop OF
grass with a mower not in first class
condition. First, take the sickle-bar
out and ascertain if the guides are in
line, and if the guide-plates are sharp,
next, be sure to have good sections
and a strong, straight sickle-bar, with
every bearing and Joint tight through
out the whole mower. Next, be sure
your rake and rack as well as wagon
are in sound condition, if not besure
to bring them all to John G..
Holmstrom, the great blacksmith, on
your first trip to town, and things will
be smooth, your implements work
right, haying made easy and prosper
ity secured, especially if you bring
your work in time to have it done by
the boss himself. Remember the

Vaccination Statistics.

The Homeopathic Envoy seems to have
more sense than is possessed by its ply
sicians judging by those whom we
know personally. In its issue for June
it copies the following from Health.
"We are confronted with the declar-
alton that cancer is decidedly on the
increase and one of the most impor-
tant questions to be answered is; What
is the cause of the increase?"
DThe Homeopathic Envoy editorially
answers as to the cause as follows:
''The increase is very steady, having
nearly doubled in thirty years as shown
by the following statistics from the
Registrar Generals office, England:
"Mean Annual Death-rateS per 1000

The Trust and it's Parents. "

On our second page may be found
the speech of Congressman DeArmond
at the st. Louis Conference, the sub
ject being stated at the head of this
paragraph. The republicans are so
anxious that silver shall not be in
issue in 1900, and are so desirouS of
democratic success that in order that
we may succeed invite US not to sup
port Bryan for nomination and to
ignore silver, many of their papers
asserting that the silver question is to
be relegated to the rear. Everyone of
the speakers endorsed Bryan and
silver, the latter will be in the plat
form with Bryan and good running
mate thereon, and in that platform
will be such additional plankS as
public exigencies may demand, and so
fully and plainly stated that the
language will convey the same mean
ing to every person.

Deaths from cancers

1t has been repeatedly asserted that
vaccination is largely responsible for

whether the increase continues beyond
the present year, in which England
