Death of One of WaShburn'S Promi-
nent Ladies.
THE FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY
One OF the Largest Eyer Held in the City
Five Secret Societies in Attend
ance to Pay their Last Tri-
butte of Respect.

Mrs. William Olson died at her
home in this city last Thursday
morning, after an illness of several
months, during which time she had
been gradually failing. Consumption
fastened itself upon her and despite
every effort she continued steadily
to fail, until death came as a sweet
messenger of relief to the afflicted
and patient sufferer. The deceased
was Miss Mary Anderson previous
to her marriage in 1890. She was the
mother of five children and was
loved and respected in the commuu-
ity. She was a member of the local
orders of ladies of the Maccabees and
Royal Neighbors and the Rebekah
lodge. The funeral was held al the
Congregational Church Sunday
afternoon, and was one of the larg-
est in point of al tendance ever held
IN the city. Rev. Gibson preached
the sermon, while Mr.. Hoppenyan
the Ashland undertaken looked after
the remains. The orders of the
Rebeccas, Royal Neighbors, Ladies
of the Maccabees, Odd Fellows and
Maccabees. were III attendance, and
the funeral decorations, in the shape
of flowers and other rememberances
were many. The remains were in
tered in the Washburn cemetery.

Tim Keefe Making a Record.

A Mitchell, S. d. newspaper
in a write-up Of a game played in
that city between the local team
and the Aberdeen Club,
gives credit for winning the
game to Tim Keefe, who brought
in two men in the ninth, by a
safe hit. In the base ball
notes." of the paper we find the
following:
With Tim Keefe behind the
bat there is a different appear
ance in the work of the Mitchell
team. Tim is one of the boys
that can do the jollying to a
nicely and all through the game
he kept the boys on their toes
ready for quick work. Keefe is
a ball player from the ground
up and he plays clean ball at
that. The manager made a
great find in Keefe and he will be
found doing business all through
the season. He showed splendid
work with the stick and he is
clever at running bases, taking
strong chances and making the
base.
The Aberdeen club went to
Sioux Falls this morning and
will play there this afternoon.
This evening the Mitchell team
goes to Madison for a series, and
will not be seen on the home
grounds again until June Goth,
when they meet Sioux Falls for
a series of games.

A Sailor Has VERY Narrow Escape
From Death.
WAS FIsHED OUT JUST IN TIME
Carried Too Big Load of Jag and
Couldn't Make the Boat, But In
stead Fell Into the Bay and
Nearly Drowned

A sailor named Harry Simpson,
of the Amazonas, came up town
Tuesday, and after imbibing about
all the ''imbibe" he could stand
started back to the boat which was
unloading coal at the coal dock. In
his beastly state of intoxication ne
fell between the boat and the dock,
and the wonder was that he Was not
crushed to death, as the tide was
quite strong at the time, Steward
James Earle heard the man fall in,
and rused to his rescue. Simpson
was thrown onto the boat and rolled
up alongside the boilers to dry and
reflect.

Annual Commencement Exercises
Are Held.
THE 1901 CLASS HAVE FINISHED
The commencement Exercises are Hello
at the Opera House and a Large
Audience Witness the Ora
duation of the Glass

The annual commencement eXer-
cises of the Washburn High School
occurred at the Opera House last
Friday night, and the usual large
gathering of the citizens was in
attendance to witness the exercises.
The hall had been very appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and the
program passed off without a hitch.
The Class Motto was ''F'ind a Way
or Make One" and the class colors
were green and white. The motto
was prominently displayed over the
stage, on which those who partici-
pated in the program were gathered.
The evenings exercises began with
a song entitled "Fairyland Waltz, :
which was sung by the entire high
school, led by Professor Cameron,
who acted as director. The lnvo-
cation was pronounced by Rev.
Wiley, of the Methodist Church.
Miss Cora Caruthers delivered the
salutatory, and it was pronounced
| fine.
Miss Nettie Summerfield' essay
was entitled "The Poor in New
York City, and the subject was
thoroughly handled.
The next number was quartette
by Misses Peterson and BesLler
and Messrs Shaw and Holt.
The ''Class Prophecy was along
original lines and was very enter
tanning. Miss Malta Bestler handled
subject.
ELECTRICITY" was the subject
selected by Ewing McBeath, and the
paper was pronounced exceptionally,
good, and showed great study into
the subject treated.
Then followed selection entitled
"Sweet Distant Chimes, which was
rendered by Misses Peterson, Miller,
Maitland, Duffy, Bestler and Caru-
theirs.
Hattie Miller did we'll in the hand
ling of the "Class History"
Emily Schafhausers essay on
Extremes was excellent.
The ''Valedictory' was delivered
by Charles Anderson, and the young
man did himself great credit
Miss Hattie Duffy had the Fare
well to Seniors" and her remarks
| were unusually good.
The quartet gave another selection
and the diplomas were presented by
Principal Cameron, after which the
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
John Gibson, of the Congregational
Church.
The members of the class had
evidently many friends throughout
the audience as the floral presenta-
tions, and the numerous other gifts
were more plentiful than in past
years.

If Washburn is to have Fourth of
July celebration of any kind it is
about time that somebody was MAX
ing a stir. OF course it is all right
after fashion to wait until about
week before the Fourth, and then
turn in and get up some kind of
cheap entertainment. Now why not
for once remove the commercial as
pect of the affair, and have a gen
uine old fashioned Fourth? These
celebra tions in which the man with
a surplus of fre-crackers or rockets
to sell is the whole thing are little
better than no celebration at all
because they keep people from
going out OF town. But the kind
of celebration Washburn needs is
one that will properly observe the
day for what it is worth and for
what it means. Lets have such a
celebration this year. What say
you?

The PIatOnic Love Letters of Charles
Dickens

For more than fifty years an Eng
lishwoman (who is still living) has
cherished little sheaf of letters
written by Charles Dickens. These
charming letters show the novelist
in a new part-that of the successful
matchmaker. They tell the story OF
another mans courtship and show
how the writer spurred faint heart
into winning a fair lady.
They will be printed-for the first
time-in the Saturday Evening

That Was the Number of Cases of
Smallpox.
THERE HAVE BEEN TWO DEATHS
The Disease Has Been Ever Present For
the Past Ten Months, but the Last of
the Cases was Discharged on
Last Thursday.

The last smallpox patient was dis
charged by Doctor Mertens from the
pest house last Thursday, and as
there have no new cases developed it
is probable that the desease has
seen it's finish. The first case re-
ported was on the Goth of last July,
and since that time there has
only been a period of a few
days in which the disease has not
had somebody in it's clutches. In
the ten months in which the disease
has held sway there were 80 cases
in Washburn, out of which there
were but two deaths. At first peo-
pie were very much alarmed about
the number of cases, but the prob
abilities of contagion did not
bother people very much after the
6rst few weeks, and outside of
official circles little attention was
paid to the presence of the disease.

made no statements at all or have re-
ported conditions that fully justified
the sale of their securities for specu-
lative purposes. A long bear campaign
usually begins in just this way, and
the reason the bears are so cautious
is that they miss the opposition which
commonly ressts their preliminary
efforts. They cover frequently, fearing
what is likely to happen, one more big
bull move. 1t is well known that the
large operators in Wall street have not
marketed their securities. There is
nothing for them to do now, with the
money market in the dark and no light
ahead. Given an abundance of money,
after the interior demands are supplied
and a large short interest, and the
bull leaders will undoubtedly take hold
again and push up prices. In some
we'll informed quarters you will hear
that this last campaign will be the
most brilliant of all.
AS for the public, they seem to be
discriminating with the wisdom ac-
quired during years of bitter expert
ence, between the good and the bad
stocks. The strength of United States
Steel throughout the effective attacks
on the industrial shares of companies
which make no report was an evidence
Of this recent discretion. A little more
of that and the next period of depres-
sion would be less of a catastrophe
than any we have ever had.
