DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Bohemian, June 13.

Bohemian, June ID.
This afternoon the three graduates Of
the college proper were given their
diplomas and a very interesting pro-
gramme was held at the assembly hall.
The audience was not as large as the
one that greeted the graduates of the
preparatory n business departments
but the house was comfortably filled and
the excellent programme listened to very
attentivey. DR.. Charles e. Bessy, act
ing chancellor of the University of Ne
braska, delivered a very able address
and presented the diplomas to the grad
yates with grace and dignity seldom
seen in the department of the orators
who hav favored Bohemian with their
presence in late years. The graduates
were Irwin CockeriN, Edna Alice Nay
nard and Beatrice McArdle Freeman.
| Miss Blanche Flowers and Miss Harkins
| played a piano solo and Mrs. l.. S. Will
son sang a solo in excellent voice. IA
violin solo by Perry Chisholm was aso
we'll performed and the entire pro-
| was away above the average
of graduating exercises in the majority
of the colleges twice the size of the Mon
State College.
1t appears that the democratic con-
| vention to be held in this city Saturday
! will be the scene of a very active con-
trOversy over the respective rights of
the DAILY and lark factions to the
mite of the road in the political bike.
The adherents OF Montana's Junior SEN
ator declare thai in supporting the can
didacy Of w. A. Cark they are doing
what every democrat should do and in
defying the men who wear the copper
collar they are performing a democratic
duty of no inconsiderable Importance.
The DAILY crowd argue that the middle
of the road will at all times be found be-
,,na%l fhn rvr1orrip Nh r. ~ fIa nyonyniou
of Clark and that a line drawn down
the center Of the straight and narrow
way would lay across the yoke of the
adherents of the DAILY cause. This they
claim to be able to prove to themselves
but whether they will be able to prove
it to the delegates from the country or
not remains to be seen The bush is be-
ing beaten in all directions this week
to scare up every delegate and have
him on hand when the ball opens in
Maxey's hall Saturday.
The city of Bozeman has SO many peo-
pie taking water from the mains of the
water that at certain times
during the day when the lawn hose is
getting In its work the force on the
MIGRANTS is not sufficient to force the
water up to the second floor of a build
ing. Should a fire break out at such a
time the water would be of little use tC

works because they could not pay the
yearly rental any longer and now it APP
pears the business has grown to such
proportions that had the city not parted
with the money it paid for the works il
would have to lay out a much larger vi
to secure it.
AS yet no effort has been made to cele-
brate the Fourth of July in this city
Bozeman always had a celebration when
other towns did in former years but I
appears hat something stands in the
way of a successful movement this year
The main reason is the rush of business
that keeps those in whose hands such
things belong SO busy that they have not
had time to attend to the matter yet. II
will probably be attended to in good time
despit the prosperity that is driving the
business men night and day to attend
to business.
The eighth annual catalogue of the
college has been issued and is now ready
for circulation. There are several new
improvements in the college since last
year and these are noted in the yearly
publication. The issue consists of fifteen
hundred books.
