FIVE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Commencement Exercises for the
Class Of 'O2 Friday Night.
An Interesting Musical Program and the
Address by Rev SteVens-OnIy Short
SalutatOry and VaIedietOry
from the Class.


The first commencement exercises Of
the Sherman county high school were
held at the opera house last Friday
night, Five graduates composed the
class Of 1902. They were Lulu Auer,
Emily Floyd, Ruth and Hope Smith and
Andrew Erickson.
The interior of the hall was tastifully
decorated with bunting and flags and
ported plants decorated the stage, while
from the proscenium was suspended IN
gilt letters the class motto: Labor
Omnia Vincit" At the front Of the stage
a table held the numerous presents of
books, flowers, etc, to the graduates
At $50 Miss Nellie Hartman at the
piano played the class march. Prof
essors Mallory and Mccormick and Rev.
Stevens and Rev. Miller occupied the
stage with the graduates Beethoven's
sonata in F major, for French horn and
piano, was then beautifully rendered by
Mr.. Charles Pieper, horn, and Mrs a. D.
Stewart, piano. The Interpretation was
good.
Rev. G. P. Miller then said the iuvo-
cation and Prof Mccormick sang the
baritone solo, '1The Treasures of the Sea
are Buried Deep" Miss Floyd, in few
well chosen words, welcomed all to the
graduating exercises on behalf of the
class.
The class address by Rev. J. Ed Stew
ems contained many gems of thought
and sound advice for the graduates. He
showed the leadership Of Kansas in
school work, the grand achievements Of
master minds by laboring for a definite
purpose and nothing daunting until
victory crowned the effort. Rev. Stevens
remarked on man passing through the
stone, bronze, iron ages, but now had
reached the educational age, when edu-
cation was the necessary element Of sue
cess in life. He classed the results of
labor as poor, mediocre and good and
condemned those whose aim was so low
as to be satisfied with mediocre results.
After the class address Elmer Ander-
son played a violin solo, sAnnie Laurie
which received hearty applause. Prof.
Mallory, in presenting the diplomas,
plainly showed in his few remarks the
deep interest taken in his work and his
solicitude for each one in parting with
the class he had brought to their present
efficiency.
Mrs. W. a. Bonnie sang Waiting" by
Willard, in excellent voice and with good
expression.
Miss AueF, in the valedictory, thanked
the school board for their wise selection
Of teachers who had so carefully trained
the class in their last year in the high
school, their JOY at having so far com
pIeted their education and their sorrow
at parting from their teachers.
After the benedictiOn the class re-
ceived congratulations from their friends
and light refreshments were served by
the Juniors in the high school to the
class and their relatives and those that
took part in the exercises,

Rev. J. Q. Anderson preached the bac-
caiaureate sermon for the graduating
class Of 1902 Of the Sherman county high
school at the Congregational church
Sunday evening. There was quite a good
audience present, but as a thunderstorm
threatened good many left until only
a few remained to hear the entire dis
course. Rev. Anderson's sermon was an
excellent one and was well spoken of by
those who remained to hear it.

THE use of the knife In cases of ap-
pendicitis should be one of last resort, It
being my belief that the majority Of such
cases can be treated with letter results
and less danger to the patient by a ra-
tional medical treatment
So said DR.. Casteli. Of Washington, in
an address on appendicitis delivered be-
fore the Medical Society Of the District
of Columbia night before last.

view carries particular weight with them
because of his exhaustive study and re-
search in Europe en- this particular sub

THE SALE BILL.
MES and

So far as the insurance companies ann
the Virginia public as insurers. are inter
ested. the effect of the passage of the
Sale bill would be the same as
that which followed the enactment
of the old Wharton law, which
after a short trial was found sriev-
ousiy wanting. The Wharton law forced
many good companies to withdraw from
the State. caused rates to be advanced
materially and rendered it impossible for
not few large merchants and manufac-
turers to secure full lines Of insurance at
any price.
AS a result of this latter situation there
was danger that the hanks in self-defencc
would be compelled TO curtail the accom-
mediation they were extending to various
Industrial and business establishments.
For il is fully understood in financial and.
commercial! circles that be mans moral

Now after all this expenditure for a

a man from New York coming down
here to overthrow it and for what? Shall,
Il say because q few negroes were dis
franchised? Or Is It for the fee he gets :?
Or is it for love OF the old State.
What good WI! these appropriations
do? The corporations own all your min
erals. and lumber and You have nothing
but your agricultural lands to advertise
ard who wants them? Stock brokers and
corporations Go not. Such property is too
tangible and taxa BILE.

Apropos Of the monument to Sir Walter

And speaking of the suffrage article
We must say it seems perfectly clear to
US that Mr.. John S. Wise's movements
against our new Constitution are not
.As4 ctioned by the leaders of, his party
at Washington. They have not yet made
up their mind as to how the question Of
negro disfranchisement should be treated.
and 1t is plain they do not purpose be-
ing led by him.
The views Of these leaders have OBJ
tanned in the unfriendiy trcatmen OF the
Tayler resolution, and they will obtain in
the action of the Fifty-eighth Congress
Meanwhile newspaper reporters inter-
views with Mr.. Wise put that irritable
statesman in the position of critcisng the

body else bitterly regarded as friendly to
the political aspirations Of the negro.
