Their Motto: "Fortiet FIdel Nihil Diffici1e "--2z
Awarded Diplomas.

Glass day Exercises of the class Of
'03 of Mexico High School at the
Opera House Wednesday evening,
May 20, was an event long to be
remembered for its pleasing origi-
nality and genuine heartiness.
Surely the class band made an
innovation in the way Of musical in
struments and the national airs
given with new life and vim were
greeted with applause. Miss Alice
Morris acted as directress andiMiss
Long as standard bearer.
Clyde Ellis made a ready, re-
sourceful president and introduced
each number with the ease and
versatility of an adept. In truth
the large class of twenty-seven
members displayed skill in so many
directions as to call forth compli-
ments at the diversity of talent.
The Glass Poem composed by
Miss Edith Etheridge is worthy a
place in any collection and she
read it, too, with force and express

The Glass Will duly signed,
sealed, and read by Miss May Of
futt was replete with wit and wis
dom; the Class of '04 seemed
proud of the bequests.
Miss Eva Tuttle proved a happy
Sybil, for all her divinations were
just as her classmates would have
them, full fruition of their happy
anticipatiOns.

A MIXUP.
The Husband Restrained
From Second Marriage.

Macon, Mo-, May 21.-Notice
Of the suing out of a writ of error
praying for a reversal of the lower
courts finding in his divorce case
was served on Jacob B. Slaughter,
a wealthy Macon county farmer,
yesterday. This writ will act to
restrain Slaughter's second mar
riage, and informs him that if he
enters into such obligation before
his wife'sappeal has been passed
upon by the supreme court he does
so at the risk of being prosecuted
for bigamy.
Slaughter's attorney, Joseph
Park, says that the supreme court
cannot reyeiw a decree Of divorce
entered by the lower court, and if
it could it would breed such a crop
of bigamists all over the country
that it would keep the officers busy
rounding them up. He has told
his client to. be married at the first
opportunity in order that this
point may be thoroly tested, and
the indications are that Mr..
Slaughter is in a position to obey
his attorneys directions.
Slaughter sued his wife for di-
vorce on the grounds Of unwifely
conduct and desertion. She put
in a vigorous cross bill, alleging
his want of faithfulness. He Of
fered her $500 alimony, but Mrs.
Slaughter promptly turned it
down" She said she had been
married twice before and divorced
any both times her lawyers ad-
vised her to compromise. She had
all along wanted to see Il divorce
trial, and this time she intended
to have one if she had to try the
case herself, That is what she
told-her lawyer, Judge p. F.
Gatewood.
The husband had a whole neigh
borhood of witnesses at the triaI
last month at La Plata and they
went after Mr.. Slaughter from the
witness box. She got back at he,
husband so strong that the cour
in order to be perfectly fair, gave
the hOnors to Jacob-a decree o
divorce-and awarded his wife
$500 alimony. Instead of pleasing
everybody the decision satisfied
neither of the litigants and boil
of them have sued out writs Of er
ror and will take their respectiv
cases to the supreme court.

Here's an interesting situation
at Centralia, told by the Courier:
No Centralia lad need be idle
this summer. Cleaning brick in
the burned block gives all who
want to work an opportunity to do
so. The boys were getting IS
cents per Thousand for cleaning
and stacking the brick. Last Fri
day morning a general strike was
inaugurated and a concession of 25
cents per thousand was granted
the strikers and the lads went to
work again. While the strike was
on some colored boys went to
work, but they were run off with
brickbats. 1t was a juvenile strike
with all the regular trimmings.
