School. will tonight be numbered
among the Alumni. Our school days
here are over and we are about to enter
upon larger spheres of activity. How
ever, before We bid the last farewell to
our Alma Mater, we wish to say few
words to patrons and others.
We feel that we owe large debt to
you, the patrons of the school; to you,
who have helped to make it what it is.
You have by your taxes supported the
high school through all these years and
thereby given us the privilege and the
opportunity of obtaining preparatory
education at home Prehaps it has
sometimes seemed az if this were not
worth the cost. But remember that by
maintaining this institution you are
placing high school course within the
reach of many who would otherwise be
unable to obtain more than common
school training, if it were not for the
puplic schools no education at all Is
then an education go important? Yes,
for it means broadening and deepen
ing of the mind; strengthening Of
the intellectual forces and, consequent
ly, the making of better citizens. Our
country depends for it's government
upon its citizens and as the citizens are
go will the government be. We all
glory in the fact that we have the best
government in the world, and we are
proud of the excellence OF our institu-

STRIKERS SHOT DOWN.
Troubles in Russian Poland on The In.
crease and Blood Flows as Result
Of Frequent Conflicts.

At Charlottesville, Va, J. Samuel
McCue, former mayor of the city, was
hanged Friday for the murder OF his
wife.
He confessed before ascending the
scaffold, saying he was imQelled TO
the crime by an evil genius, over
which he had no control.
Up to the very last the idea CT a
confession was discredited.
McCue listened calmly TO the death
warrant, and when Sergeant Rogers
asked:
DO you think that If were to give
you my arm you would be able to
walk TO the scaffold?"
He replied calmly:
81 can walk without your aid"
Watched by silent crowd of, per-
haps, thirty people, McCIe mounted
the scafold. BY this time, sunlight
was coming across the house tops
around him. Not a muscle Of his
face moved.
Rogers and two guards ascended
the scaffold with him. The prisoner
was placed over the trap, his arms
were pinioned and his ankles strapped.
The black gown was folded around
him and the moose was adjusted.
All this while McCue stood without
moving. Hope that he might make
some statement before he died passed
away. The cowl dropped over his
head, and he had seen his last Of the
world. Not a word had he uttered.
A guard took hold of the rope that
was to release the trap. Rogers, stand
ing along upon the scaffold beside Nc
Cue, turned his back and lifted his
hand. The trap fell. His neck was
broken.
In order to thwart the curiosity OF
the morbidly inclined, the sheriff kept
secret the time of the execution
