PALMER COMMENCEMENT.
Final Exercises Of the Week Largely
Attended Tuesday.

1
| The final commencement exercises OF
Palmer College, of LeGrand, We're held
Tuesday evening, with the graduation
| of the commercial department at 10
o'clock After Il program of music and
song the Hon. Henry Stone of Mar
shalltown, delivered the leading adj
dress of the morning. lie chose as his
subject THE Life of Thomas Jefferson.
In a most pleasing manner and in fne-
ly chosen English he pictured to his
audience the strong and oeautiful
character and the great work OF JET
ferson. Mr.. Stone spoke emphaticaIiy
of the fact that Jefferson was always
II practical farmer, never allowing his
duties as an officer and moulder OF
government to be endangered or IN
fuenced by entangling alliances In
business enterprise; and that the secret
of Americas success would depend up
on her maintaining the purity and in
tegrity of her farmer population. The
address was one of great perception,
showing a deep insight into the man
and his times.
President Summerben then said that
he deemed the subject of the address
one of especial fitness, as Iowa is
state of farmers and because during all
of Jefferson's life, he stood for the nb-
erty of the religion that for which the
Christian church, which owns Palmer
College, was founded and has main
tanned its work-the liberty of individ-
ual thought and life in the church.
In the afternoon the normal ana
academic departments gave splendid
program. After strong orations Sy
each OF the graduates, which We're
much appreciated. Rev. E. G. Luck. OF
I.eGrand, gave an eloquent address on
"Education and Life" Mr.. Luck MAIN
tanned that schools and colleges are not
to give men learning. but to give men
power. and that without power over
their own faculties and own selves and
power over their environment. men
would be failures. whatever their learn
ing or advantages.
The room was beautifully decorated,
the audiences large and enthusiastic,
and the Ferguson orchestra, of Mar
shalltown. rendered a pleasing program
OF music.
In the evening occurred the gradua-
ton of the school of music and collie
giate department. DR.. Whitaker, presi-
dent OF the Kansas Christian college,
delivered the address to the class.
The baccalaureate sermon was

DR.. Whitaker is a humorist and log

brings happiness. One of the largest
audiences ever gathered together in the
community listened closely turnout the

A civil suit, involving s1.35, was
brought in Justice Burritts court by
]. II. Mineah Tuesday afternoon
against the independent school dis
trict of Marshalltown. The action was
on a lumber bill, for lumber claimed

The original bill was s14.95. Mr.. Moore,
of the board. thought the bill excess
sive, alleging that the price was So
per thousand higher than that
being charged by all other
dealers. The board rendered
Mr.. Mineah 1880 In settlement.
Mineah sued and demanded q trial
before jury. A Judgment for the full
amount was awarded the plaintiff. and

Reynolds put Powell up, and had 1t
not been that Williams landed on him,
he would have all but sewed the Grays
up. The backing he got was fast ard
the errors made cost nothing.
During the first five innings, not a
visitor crossed the first station. Then
the bad luck and errors began to break
for the home club. Depew, first up,
hit foul just outside of the flag,
and just far enough away from John
House. so that he could barely reach
it. and gave Boones catcher another
lease on life. He made good use of It
and stung a grounder over first and

slammed it over Mackey's head. BY
the time House had corralled the
sphere Depew was roosting on third.
Powell went out and Mcclure hit safe,
scoring Depew. Altho Reynolds and
and Pennington's hits put Pennington
on third in the seventh, he died there.
After that the visitors We're not again

UP to the fourth the Grays had done
nothing, when Williams hit a slow
one and beat out the throw. Warner
laid one between first and second, adj

on first Powell's balk advanced both.
and with no one gone the scoring trick
looked easy. House, next up, hit to

Again, in the sixth, score making
began to look up. Williams hit safe
to left center. Tucker threw wild 10

got to the base. Warner was up, and

snake which had crawled into his bed
and bit him on the finger just after he
had retired. The fangs of the reptile
were sunk into the boys index fin

As soon as he realized what had
happened the lad jumped from the
bed and, grabbing a chop axe. cut the
finger off just above the bite. He
lost some blood from the crude opera

result of the snake bite. II is sup

door in the afternoon while the fam

under tho top cover of the bed, and
was not seen when the family went

youngsters do, and threw his hand
