A Pleasant Surprise,

Last Monday evening the Now-and

surprise party, the occasion being the
nineteenth birthday of that young
lady.
Cards were the amusement of the
evening, and prizes were awarded.
During the course of the evening, in
behalf of the club, the president pre-
scented Miss Schuster with ring con-
tanning a beautiful pearl setting,
which pply slightly demonstrated the
high respect in which she is held by
her friends.
Refreshments were served by the

Next Tuesday morning the annual
sale of delinquent taA lands will be
held from the east door of the county
court house. The sale will continue
until all lands not disposed OF are put
on the market.
The amount of delinquent taxes is
small this year and consequently the
sale will not be as large as in previous
years. Buyers come from all over

for the coming event are already in

NELSON DEWEY
HIGH SCHOOL ITEMS
COY OUR SCHOOL REpoRTERA

The Junior prom" OF Friday, last
week, was an immense success. IT
was the first event of that kind in
school history and as such furnishes
tiue precedent for all future Juniors.
The second and third floors were
lastly decorated with cosy corners.
The dancing was in the hall of the
second floor, Mrs. Polan Saxby fur
nishing the music on the High School
Piano. Punch was served in Recita
ton Room No. "a. On the third floor
were gamHs for those who did not
wish To dance. Ice cream and cake
were served in the dining room short
ly before breaking up at eleven O'Clock
which was done AT the request of Mr..
Potter. The Seniors all reported as
having good time and declare they
will remember it as an event of their
last year at the Dewey.
The Seniors had class meeting on
Wednesday ana decided several i'm
portant matters 1t was decided to
have Glass Day and the date was
fixed for June 10. A committee was
appointed to arrange the program
which will probably consist of the
history, prophecy and will. The Gate
for the Senior Junior reception of
the Dewey to the Seniors and Juniors
of the Blaine was fixed for June II
This will be held at the Euclid Hotel.
The class pms which were ordered
some time ago are expected daily.
Commencement will be held at the
Grand Opera House June IS
Arrangements are about complete
for the three cornered field meet to
be held with the Duluth Central and
Cloquet High Schools. The meet will
take place at Duluth on June &. The
proposition is for the Dewey to get
one third of the proceeds. The track
team which was in pretty good trim
in the fore part of the season has
ceased practise because Of their being
barred from the Madison meet and be-
cause the Blaine would not enter with
the Dewey for dual meet. Training
has been resumed now and it is hop
ed that the Dewey may accomplish
something as she gives fair prospect
of doing.
The game with Cloquet was not
played last Saturday. Mr. Schwarm
received q card Friday which said
that Cloquet wouldn't play because
she had a game with the Blaine in
their city which they preferred to
play rather than come here. The
game will take place, however, this
afternoon. The admission has been
placed low enough for all, ten cents.
The management desires good at
tendance as the team needs better
outfit.

her school mates and friends at
her home last Thursday evening.
An enjoyable time was spent in dane
