And the waists are extraordinarily wide

A full long tucked skirt has the fiaring

This suit is worn with shirt waist OF

of flne cream Milan braid trimmed with

Highly Successful commencement
Exercises at Olney.

The first commencement exercises were
held in Olney May 90. and were pro-
nouneed by all as being the most pleasing
program Of the kind they had witnessed
this year. The management was excel
lent and the program was Of very high
grade. The lecture given by Prof. Keat-
irg. Of Pueblo. was thoroughly enjoyed by
the large audience. The vocal duets rem
dered by Mrs. Griffin Of Ordway. and
Mrs. comstock. of olney. certainly did
credit to these talented ladies. The gui-
tar solo by Roy Sessna was more than
enjoyed By a most appreeiatiye audience.
The vocal solo, "In Old Madrid by Mrs.
Williams was excellent.

quantity made up for il in quality. 1t

The Skull Is Evidence That the Bear
Was Killed.

a few months since the Enterprise
published an article from VIM. Matthews
describing how bear had been killed in
Rocky Ford in 1877. The bear was
sho, by n. W. Potter when in the Rocky
Ford ditch near the park. Mr.. Potter
had chased the bear on COW pony for
quite time. except that when he got too
close the bear would chase him. When
the bear went Into the ditch Mr.. Potter
sent a Winchester ball through an eye
and thus was killed the first and last
bear which has invaded the streets Of
Rocky Ford since the white man came.
The meat was distributed among the
pioneers. but to this day Joe Effner, VIM.
Matthews and Hez Potter have vivid
remembrance that the steaks were Of the
tenderness Of sole-leather. The skull Of
bruin was saved by Mr.. Matthews and
has been preserved to the high school
museum.
