COMM ENCEMENT
OF Marion Graded School Has
Come and Gone For the
Eleventh Time.

The llth annual commencement
was held in the opera house, May II.
| 2 and l3. Each service was at
tended by large audience which
was highly entertained by the de-
lightful programme.
Thursday was an evening with
Whittier, in which some of his best
poems and essays were recited by
some of the brightest pupils of the
common school Pantomimes and
music made the essays more effective
and enjoyable.
Friday evening which was the last
evening Of the common school pro-
gramme, gave the audience a glimpse
of Tennyson, in which Enoch Arden
was displayed in pantomimes and es-
says. Each and every one did their
part with grace and skill. The esseys
were well delivered and at the close
of the evening medal was given to
Miss Fenwick Wathen by DR.. II. j..
Morris for the best Interpretation of
his lectures and standing the best
examination on the subject of the
teeth, on which he had given them
four lectures.
Saturday evening was an evening
with Burns and his Cotter's Satur-
day Night. The High School Club
which is composed of fourteen, quot
ed Burns in essays aud poems and
assisted by very fine orchestra
made the evening very entertaining.
Miss Mildred Haynes being the hon
ored member, made a very effective
speech at the close of the evening.
The music was enjoyed by every
one, being furnished by one of the
finest orchestras that has ever been
in Marion. The graduates received
beautiful bouquets and other presents,
showing the love and esteem of their
friends, which of course, added to
their pride and pleasure of the oc-
casion.

Critical Condition.

The Japanese nation n greatly in
famed over frances failure to re
spect the neutrality laws Of nations
between combatants- Ii is charged
that the Russian feet has taken on
supplies Of both coal and provisions
in French waters, and the threat is
made that French scaports may be
fired on in retaliation.
The effect of this move on the part
of the Japanese would be far reach
ing and tremendous France would,
throwing off all DISCUSSES range her
self with Russia, England would in
stantly line mp with Japan, with
whom she already has an offensive
and defensive treaty. Germany would
take the part Of France and Russia,
and there is strong probability that
this country would be drawn into the
world war which would inevitably
follow
At no time since the opening Of
hostihties between Russia and Japan
has the peace of civilization been 50

Frances Mining Notes.

Operations have been suspended al
the big Tabb mine for 60 days, until
the new pump arrives. Supt. Reed
had three 3-inch pumps pumping at
one time and could do nothing with
the water They could not run the
big 700 gallon valve barrel because
Of some old ladders in the shaft. The
company, so have been informed, has
ordered n twenty-seven hundred dol
lar pump for that mine.
On the George Parrish place, w.
A. Oliver hrs opened up II foot
vein Of very fine No. | gravel spar.
This is one of the best, if not the
best strike that has been made this
year This shaft is owned by Evans
Vile parties, the company being com
posed of Messrs Curry & Ogden, of
Evansville, and W. A. Oliver of this
place.
The Matthews" is now producing
about 20 tons of gravel spar per
day.
Over at the "Pogue" Supt. Fred
Clement is rushing things along and
producing about so tons of spar eve
~ "a hours.
The tabor" is proving to be one
Of the best paying propositions in
the district About 20 tons of spar
and lead per day is being hoisted at
this mine.

A New Railroad.

\ new railroad company has been
legally organized at Morganfeld. XIV.
with headquartcr. in that city. The
object Of the company is To construct
a railroad, to bee called The Nor
garfield and Atlanta Railroad. with
initial and terminal points presuma-
bly, at Morganfeld and Providence
Ky.
The officers of the company are T.
b. Young, President; \. W. Mason.
Nice-President; j. X. Waller. Sec
rotary and W. W. Olney, chief en-
gineer.
Of the survey now in progress the
Morganfeld sun SAYS:
Chief Engineer Olney and his par
ty Of surveyors and assistants are still
hard at work on the survey being
made for the Morganfeld and Allan
Ia railroad. They expected to 20 into
Providence last Saturday. but were
prevented by the heavy rain. They
are about one half mile beyond Clay,
when they w,re compelled to stop on
account of the water
They returned to Clay Tuesday and
took up the work at that point We'd
nesday morning and have no doubt
got into Providence before this time.
\ survey was made of Clay and a
partial survey of Morganfeld has been
made.
1t is understood they will survey
back from Providence, running a
route through Wheatcroft. 1t now
seems pretty well settled that the
road will run from Morganiield to
Providence, though the promoters
have not given out any information
to that effect. Already several rou ties
leading out of Morganfeld have been
surveyed, and it is probable another
going by Boxville will be made. The
evact route even if the road runs into
Providence, to be finally accepted is
yet, therefore, a matter of uncertain
".

Frisco Surveyors.

Last week the chief engineer OF
the Frisco Railway system, with his
corps OF surveyors, were in Prince
ton and vicinity looking over the
country in regard to the Joppa OF di-
rect St Louis line extensions Of the
Tennessee Central, recently purchas-
ed by them. Its natural and cheap
est route would be through here and
they will not miss Princeton many
miles, although other towns may of
fer big enough inducements to divert
it their way. As we have said be
fore, il seems to us that the CONNER
cial Club should be up and doing. -

one in either Of the counties or in
Caldwell and Lyon near the line,
should put his shoulder to the wheel

ditions A good sized attendance was
present and everybody went away not

was the finest exhibition of Its KIND
ever shown in the city, the fire works
were good. the city's entertainments
was largely free and no complaint OF
unfair treatment has been beard. The
committees Of citizens WHO did the
work deserve praise and commenda-
ton.
The carnival, too, was a success.
both financially and morally, altho 1T
is doubtful II half a dozen citizens
could have been found the day before
who would have believed 1t possible.
Marshalltown has been abused with
carniyals SO coarse and indecent that
her citizens We're Of one mind and one
voice In their protest against announcer
carnival. The New Parker Amusement
Company came with their show ana
nut on a group of harmless and very
clever attractions and will go away
with the friendship of the community
There are many of us who would
much prefer the class OF amusements
presented by a chautauqua. but there
is no question but what the Parker
shows are in themselves clean and
harmless. The chautauqua VIII come IN
August and then we can all be salts
fed
The one great disappointment IN the
conduct of the day in Marshalltown
was the revelation of lawlessness dis
closed by the death of man in q
disreputabe resort In the city, 1t is a
disgrace to any city that such places
can exist, yet they do thrive In every

ligent 1t Is bad enough for public
officers not to raid such places before
they become public nuisances, but
when they do catch the disreputables
red handed. punishment should be UNI
relenting. and there Is every evidence
that the county attorney intends TO do
his duty toward the women and the
man who soicits patronage for their
business. The landlord Is also guilty
and should suffer likewise.
Postmaster Saint was called upon
this week to inspect q piece of country
road. against which both the rural car
rier and the adjoining farm owner had
made complaint. When he had reached
the spot steep clay hill badly
washed, he found that a few minutes
work with King road drag by the
farmer who made the complaint could
have made an excellent road and the
postmaster came away Disguised.
AS a matter Of fact there is no ex-
cuse for poor piece of road in Mar
working the King road drag over a
stretch of the worst road on the Iowa
river bottoms this road has been made
passably smooth at all times and so
much better than the East Main street
and North Third avenue roads that
travellers all prefer 1t and the cost has
been three hours time with team
and drag after each rain for over a
mile of road. Two hours time would
have kept the road along one side Of a
quarter section in ideal condition and
the work could have been done when
fields were too wet to be worked.
There are many other instances OF
the same kind in this county If the
T.-R. only knew where they We're.
We wish that farmers who are using
the mud drag would write and tell US
about It, We would like to publish
their names and show what the mud
drag can do.
