porter;

man of the street committee, is hav-
ing some valuable work done to the

thorough manner. The streets have
been grated to the center ard are
now in a most excellent condition.
Good streets and sidewalks add much
to the appearance of town. The
street force is doing a good work in
that part of the city and should be
glad if the citizens of the University
addition would interest themselves
in tine matter of cutting
the weeds on their lots The
General Assembly delegates will be
here Saturday, and we should clean
up our lots and sidewalks before
they come.

From the New Orleans Picayune
the following extract of the report of
the graduating exercises OF the med
ical department of Tulane Universl-
ty is taken:
There were ninety-one gradu ates
in medicine and five in pharmacy.
Every graduate in medicine had at
tended four full courses in some re-
putable college of medicine. This
was Tulane's first class of gradu ates
of the four-year course. The ad-
dress of Prof. Chaille, dean of the
faculty, was profound and logical.
closing with these words:
young gentlemen, for each of
you today the Marathan race is on.
1t is race-of efficiency with ineffi-
cheney, of health with disease, Of
life with death. Run it as men.
And whenever or wherever the
prizes are awarded let me express the
wish as indulge the hope, that the
olive wreath Of victory may be
found in the keeping of the class Of
1904. ~
After a musical selection by the
orchestra Prof. Chaille read the
names of the graduates who de-
serve special mention, as follows;
G. s. Brown, l.. r. Delays, G. l..
Eschelman, l.. A Mereaa, K. NJ.
Williams, 5. J. Convillon, G.. l..
Gandet, r, G. Guilbeau, r. o. Pavy,

Tulane thsater was crowded to it's
full capacity by ladies and tgentle-
men, the ladies being ia the majori-
tv, To witness the annual com
meucement exercises. The gradu-
ates, all wearing the university
gowns, occupied seats on the stage
with the faculty and distinguished
participants ia the ceremonies.
Prof. G.. Alphonso Smith, Ph. D.,
dean of the University of North
Carolina, delivered the annual ad-
dress. 1t was an admirable dis
conrse. Keen, polished, elegant,
poefical and was deservedIy ap-
plauded.

Man Knocked Down
and Robbed.
Mr.. Nj. II. Reeves of Williamson
Received Brutal Treatment at
the Hands of Thugs.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Williamson, May 24.-One of
the most daring and dastardly at
tempts at robbery that has ever
been reported in this section was
committed right in the heart of this
town Saturday night.
1t seems that Mr.. Nj H. Reeves,
a popular citizen and druggist,
left his store about 10 o'clock and
stepped across the street to the
office of the Southern railway
agent with whom. he had business,
but Mr.. Willis, the agent, had
closed his Office for the night and
gone home. As Mr.. Reeves took
hold of the door knob and attempt
I'd to turn it to enter the office he
was struck from behind and felled
to the floor of the platform and
knocked senseless. Mr.. Reeves
knew nothing until perhaps an
hour later when he was found ly-
ing in q semi conscious condition
upon the platform where he had
fallen, by Policeman Nelson, who
heard his groans.
MI. Reeves body bears the
marks of more than 25 bruises
where he was beaten and kicked.
His pockets were rlfled, but only
a small amount of money was mis-.
ing from one of his pockets. while
the other, which contained his
pocket book, was uu,iisiurbei.
The whole case Is wrapped in
mystery. The theory is advance
ed by some that his assallants
thought they were victimizing Mr..
Willis, the railway agent, with O
view to robbing the depot Or OBJ
tanning a considerable sum of
money perhaps, which they hoped
10 find upon the person of the
agent, as it is generally known
that he has no safe in his office.
However, what the object of the
attack was, can only be conject-
ured.
1t is we'll known fact that Mr..
Reeves has no personal enemies
and he is popular among all class
es and IS member of the town
council. No pains will be spared
on the part of those in authority
to hunt down the guilty ones and
bring them to Justice.
