School Exhibition.

At the close Of the school Of district
No. 50, in the evening of May I, an ex-
hibition was given by the teacher, o. P.
Sutton, and pupils, that as whole, for a
school exhibition, far surpassed anything
the writer ever had the pleasure of wit
Messing, and for tact in management on
the part OF the teacher, the high order of
talent displayed by some of the scholars,
was pleasant surprise to the large au-
dience that greeted the performers.
An enjoyable feature of the occasion
was the Vandenburg orchestra composed
of H. Vandenburg, his two sons, Mr..
and Mrs. Hale, Mr.. Snyder, assisted by
%. H. Atteberry.
The Introductory, by Oscar Bartlett,
for a seven-year-Old boy is seldom
equaled by one of that age
"Bobolink," the number engaged in
the singing, showed thorough training.
"The Ship Wreck" Myrtle Hanger,
was well rendered.
THE New Church Organ" by Eva
Hendricks, was eIellently rendered and
was greeted with applause.
"The Inventors Wife" by PEAR
Smily, elected loug applause.
"Brdget's Investment" by Ella
Hawkins, supported by a number Of
other scholars, showed more than ordi
nary ability and received great praise.
Flower Girl, by Verna Spangler, wa:
a difficult piece to perform and clearly
demonstrated the high culture and
wonderful voice of the singer. Hel
appeal to sell her flowers was so pathetic
that the writer, had he been thirty year,
younger, would have taken all the flow
ers and the singer too, if he could hav,
done so. This selection, Judging from
the prolonged cheering, was a great sue
cess.
"a Little Farm, Well Titled, by o.
Sutton, Chas. and Will Hanger, was
great hit, well performed and created LOT
of merriment and loud applause.
Going On An Errand," by Ethe
Piatt, was somewhat difficult to perform
but she got through it nicely.
Auction" was given by Messrs. Ri
Skaggs and o. P. Sutton, Misses Marth
Thompson and Verna Spangler. The
all performed their parts well-the sing
ing and acting by the ladies being e'
pecially good.
''The Dutchman," by Don Piatt, SUI
ported by number of others, was IL
most laughable performance of til
evening. The audience fairly went vii
cheering to the echo. Don Piatt is
great success in the character of dutci
man. G. W. BAILEY.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

People who imagine that Dewey
will parade around for the benefit
of the necking element when he comes
home, will find themselves badly mis-.
taken. He is coming home for rest
and quiet, and for that reason will
return by way OF the Suez canal and
will refuse the ovation the west de-
sres TO give him. The New York
board of trade and transportation
have invited Dewey to banqet to be
given in his honor upon his arrival,
but he has declined. Dewey's refusal
to be banquetted, though disappOint.
lug to those proposing to banquet him,
has led them to believe that he has
morse sense than the man who in
