The o. S. is urging Cuba to do
away with dueling. That seems like
a blow at one of Cuba's accomplish
ments.
A noiseless Fourth of July is being
Agitated by the Agitators. They pro-
pose to shut off the fireworks. Why
leave the orators unrestrained.
Last Sunday opened to a good
house and we thot Mother Nature had
lied to us but afternoon brot the ex-
pected rain. This was the third Sun
day of the seven.
Audubon, Ross, Manning, Dedham,
Templeton, Hamlin and several other
points are planning on having repre-
sentatives at the commencement ex-
ercises. They want you too.
Mr.. and Mrs. jim Cunningham's

Word came from Guthrie county

ease.

ticed the following: Mrs. Walter Au-
das, Miss Dollie Audas, Mrs. F. G..

The time of year has cum
When we can hear the hum
OF the skeeter as he rises
From his hades in the slough.
He stays awake all night
With diabolical delight
While we with sulphur
Make the air look blough.
The ten days old baby of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer Dyer, died at their home

| This is the second child this family
has lost within the year. The Jour-
nal extends its sincerest sympathy.
A s'prairie schooner with some
seven or eight head of race horses at
tached came through town last week.
While here they matched race
against local equine several of the
business men furnishing the capital
for the event. No need OF saying
more. Probably what we have said
will start shooting pains in the bony
think tanks of the aforesaid sbizness''
men.
Extensive preparation are being
made for the commencement exer-
cises to be given in the M. w. A. hall
Saturday, May 81. The exercises
which will consist of brief program
and music will conclude with a
comedy drama entitled "Single Life"
Untiring efforts will certainly make
this an event to interest everyone.
Preparations are being made to seat
all that come and as the proceeds are
for the school it is to be hoped q
mammoth crowd will greet the
graduates.
Another happy event occurred in
our city Saturday night. Utopia

hungry, away, the gasoline stove
was started, the coffee pot put into
position, committee sent for eata-
bles, the table brought in, and the
table cloth spread. But say they all
did eat and chatted and chatted and
