Graduating Exercises.

The graduating exercises of the Coop
erstown State High School were held
in the Opera House last Friday even
ing, the building being crowded to the
doors by the friends of education
There were three graduates: Inez Ger
trude Enger, Herman Evelynne War.
ner and Adolph John Melgard. The
program as published in the papers
last week was carried out in full. Miss
Enger, 1st honor student, was saluta.
torian and Herman Evelynne Warner,
I'd honor graduate, was valedictorian.
Mr.. Warner delivered a very good
oration from the subject: Pro Patria, y
followed by an oration on Liberty by
Mr.. Melgard, which was also very good.
Miss Enger gave an essay on Character
Building that was excellent indeed.
Following this Hon. David BARTLETT
president of the board, in a few very
earnest remarks on the value of educa-
tion and the good work already done,
presented the class with their diplomas.
Prof. vernon SqulreS, OF Lne UnlVer-
sity of North Dakota, was then intro
duced to give the commencement adj
dress. His subject was ''The Modern
Scholar" and the audience was treated
to a very interesting as well as intel
lectual treat. Mr.. Squires thoroughly
understands his subject and his address
was very much enjoyed. The band
very kindly came out and discoursed
music at intervals. The stage was oc-
cupied by the class, teachers, board of
education and the guests for the occa-
sion. Rev. 7. J. Giblett offered the
Invocation and benediction. The ex-
ercises all through were very good in
deed and the school is to be congratu-
lated upon turning out such a first
class graduating class. Next year the
class should be considerably larger.

ALLEGED GRAfTERS.
Fake School Chart Vendor.
Came to Grief in Barnes
County.

S. L. Davis, T. A. Wilson and e. A.
Clark, trio Of smooth young men
claiming to represent the American
School Chart Co., of Chicago, and who
have been practicing q little deception
about the state, have come to grief in
Valley City, Barnes County. Davis the
leader Of the gang, is behind the bars
and the other two gentlemen have
been put out of business. ,
This trio has been in the state for
some time, having worked in Griggs,
Ransom, Walsh and Richland Counties
and had just started in Barnes County,
when they were arrested at the insti-
CATION of County Superintendent Of
Schools Barnes on the charge of OBJ
tanning signatures to negotiable paper
under false pretenses. At the prelimi-
nary hearing held in Valley City yes
terday, Davis was bound over to the
district court in the sum of $500 and
his co-workers were discharged. They
were Offering for sale a complete Ency-
clopedia of Modern School Methods.
Wilson and Clark advanced Davis in
their operations and would display the
chart and recite the lecture on its
merits. Davis followed few days later
and would take the orders. In some
instances, it is alleged, he represented
himself to be the state superintendent
of public instruction, and in other cases
he stated and showed letters purport-
ing to come from the state saperinten-
dents office authorizing him to work
the state. He frequently asked school
directors to sign cleverly worded GER
tifieate of approval, which turned out
to be negotiable paper.
State Superintendent Stockwell is
outwitha letter disclaiming any knowl-
edge of the men and their operations
and branding as false the statement
that their credentials emanated from
his office. He advises school boards to
be on their guard and to turn down fel-
lows of this class whenever approached
by them.
At Davis hearing in Valley City his
co-workers testified that they were re-
ceiving S47.5O for the charts, and that
their actual cost was 1926.

THE COURIER
BY Percy X. GrubflboeD'
Obituary. 81

Marietta Sumner was b"rn In Cort-
land County, New York, Feb. Is, 1924.
She was the youngest Of ten children,
and was the last of her family. 1t
might be interesting to note that she
was a cousin uf the orator, Charles
Sumner.
She graduated from Homer Academy
at the age Of nineteen. She was mar
ried may /, 1850 to Reuben S. Russell
who died Nov. Is, 1855. She remained
3 widow and has always lived with her
adopted daughter, Mrs. Oscar d. Pur-
linton, having never had children OF
her own.
Those who came in contact with the
Life and character of Mrs Russell can
testify to their enobling influence. The
young men and women whose good for
tune it was to live for time where
she had her home can look back to oc-
casions when her advice and kindly
helpfulness guided them safely over
some difficult places. Her ideals were
high, her thoughts clear and pure and
they always found expression in cor
rect and beautiful language. Her
presence breathed refinement and cul-
ture and suggested to others the same
high ideals she lad chosen for her own
guidance. She united with the Baptist
church when young woman and has
always lived an exemplary Christian
life.
The cause of her death was cancer
Of the right breast. About ten years
ago she fell and was injured in such a
way that this cancerous growth began.
Two years and eight months before
her death she took to her bed. Her
disease spread upward into her throat
making it more and more difficult for
her to swallow and this gradually weak
ened her system. The last six weeks
Of her life were weeks of great suffer-
ing for her, but she bore her trouble
patiently and usually greeted every one
with a pleasant smile.
She was greatly devoted to those who
daily ministered to her wants and
strove to allay her pain, and she fire.
quently gave expression to that graft
tude. She died at $50 o'clock Sunday
morning May "a, 1903, with those neal
her who for thirty-fve years have SC
faithfully and tenderly shared theil
home with her.
Short services were held at the Pur
linton residence Monday at / p. m.
Rev. T. J. Giblett officiating. The re
mains were taken east by Mr.. Purinto1
to her old home in New York state fol
interment.

A Good Showing.

The Griggs County Fair Association
was organized in 1899, location secured
race track built and also grand stand,
and a few horse stalls. July 4 and 5,
1900 the first fair and race meeting was
4leld. There we're but few horses, cat
tie and other stock entered for exhibit
and but few horses entered for the
races. The next meeting July 4 and 5
1901, was an improvement over the
first, with nearly double the amount
ofStock entered, the races proving a
success with some good horses compet-
ing. The third meeting July 3, and
5, 1902, was decided success financially
and otherwise there being 1853 entries
consisting of some of as fine Short Horn,
Holstein and other cattle as could be
found any where and horses that would
do credit to any of the older states.
The Fair Association paid out in prem
iums on Short Horn Cattle alone 1864. 10.
Through its influence farmers have
been encouraged to get better stock.
Before the Association was organized
there were but few thoroughbred cattle
in the county. There are now quite
number who are interested in fine
breeding. One of our farmers has a
herd of about 40 Short Horns that
would compare creditably with most
any herd.
There are quite number of Clydes-
dale and Percheron stations in the
county that are second to none. This
increased amount of fine stock is the
outcome of the fair and the farmers
are beginning to realize the benefit OF
holding a county fair. The association
has the best half mile track in the
state and holds the state record for
trotting and pacing 2:144 and improve
ments have been made this season that
makes it several seconds faster. Those
who enter stock this year will find inn
proved accommodations, a barn for
trotting horses now complete that is
credit to the association, it is one OF
the best and most convenient of the
kind in the state, in horseshoe shape,
with IA large box stalls. Besides this
the association owns itsample grounds
and fence with the additional buildings
consisting of we'll built grand stand,
judges stand, q box stalls for horses
and SO stalls for cattle. Come and cele-
brate with us July 2, 3 and 4 and see
for yourselves.

VIEWS ON CLEVELAND

The best judgment Of men closest
TO ex-President Cleveland is that he
will not take another nomination. 1t
would mean defeat, anyway. and he is
not the sort Of a man that likes to
round out a public career by seeming
to seek something that he cannot get.
The next convention will be organ
lied by the present National Com
mittee, and a recent canvass Of that
body shows only three members in
favor of the ex-President, seventeen
bitterly against nim, and eight firmly
setting on the fence. Those opposed
are extremely bitter in their remarks.
They include the whole southern
membership, while the three who are
favorable represent New York. Mon
tana and North Dakota The oppon-
ents made themselves as extensively
uncomplimentary as the language will
permit and be fit to print
