forfeited rights for nonfulfillment Of
erms OF a franchise and he did no;
see how a company could be so hedged
in in the vesting of city rights thai
here would be any guarantee that the
country end of the line would be con
structed. AS an evidence of the oper-
alton of this clause Mr. Scare pointed
to the example of the D., R. l. & n
w. railway which he declared had
turned about and done the very
thing that such a provision was
designed to prevent and had suffered
no penalty
Whatever rights were given intsrur-
bans in the west end OF town Mr.
Searle held. the needs of Rock Island
west end factory district should be
kept in mind and at least switching
privileges for other steam roads reach
ing the city should be opened up by
this means.
Action Gees Over.
At the conclusion of a long discus
sion in which a number of members
participated H. A. Weld moved that a
committee be appointed TO draft reso-
utions in line with the evident senti-
ment OF the club. c. F. Lynde moved
as a substitute the adoption of a reso-
lustion demanding the fulfillment OF
the interurban end of the deal before
any franchise conveying city rights is
voted. Action on both was passed
over till the next regular meeting
giving members time for more full in.
vestigation.
Before the subject of interurbans
was dropped Mr. Searle offered a sug-
geetion that may crystalline later in
the Club committee on interurbans,
of which he is chairman, for the Club
to lead a movement to secure an esti-
mate of the cost of building a line
such as will do Rock Island the most
good, to the lower end OF this county.
so that the city will have something
definite to present if capital comes
this way looking for an investment
of that character, or so that there will
be an intelligent basis for dealings
with projects already in hand. Such
an estimate he stated would cost prob
ably $4,000.

Guy Hayes. of this city, received a
fine Of $40 and costs in the Davenport

is from Davenport. attended a Nalen-
tine night dance in this city and re-
turned across the river this morning

There was no car TO take the couple

cation was made at the St. James but
the house was filled, and the couple re
paired to the Downs hotel.

Back in Jail.

Monday evening two Deaf
Smith county pris soners,
George HarrOd and Geo. Lewis.
held here at the order of said
county, walked out Of our jail
without the consent Of or even
saving good bye to sheriff Slov-
er.
As soon as aware of the es
cape Slower Immediately set out
to effect their capture wiring
ahead to Amarillo. Upon ar
riving at Amarillo be received
notice of two men anSWerlng.the
description of the prisoners get,
ting off freight at Goodnight.
Getting there as soon as possible
with the assistance of sheriff
Jas. T. Pitman of Donley cOun-
ty, to whom he had previously
wired, the prisoners were found
and secured about half a mile
from where they had left the
train. They were evidently
waiting for darkness to again
aid them in their effort to get
clear Of the country. Slower
brought them back to jail
Wednesday.
Just how they managed to get
out of the cells is somewhat of
mystery, Nothing about the
cages was either broken or cut
they simply walked out. The
prisoners say that in throwing
the lever which closes the cell
doors the sheriff failed to get it
far enough to lock securely and
that by Earring the door they ob
tanned their liberty. Sheriff
Slower does not take to their
explanation at all, being OF the
confirmed opinion that the doors
were unlocked by assistance
from the outside. Be this as it
may they are now back in Jail
again thanks to the vigilance of
our quick acting sheriff and
likely to remain there until
taken out by proper authority.

Commencement Paragraphs.

Friday afternoon Miss Pearl

IN the school hall. The attendance
was good. The program was
fine selection and the manner in
which the class acquitted itself was
highly creditable to the teacher.
Miss Gillian is not only an excel

gard too for both caption and con-
text that is rarely found even
among older heads. Not one got
"ratted;;" all went smoothly on
to the finish and the only objection
that could have been made was that
some of them spoke little too low
at tlmeS-a grievouS fault in these
days to one of the cold school. "
Too much "retinement" in speak
ing to an audience is fully as bad
as Hamlet's opinion of the town
Crier.
To take each part up separately
and do it and the speaker justice
would require more space than at
command; to comment on some to
the exclusion of others would be
unfair as all did exceedingly well;
to make comparison would be wick
ed partlality, but at the risk of his
life, if necessary, The News repre-
sentative must say, that while the
boys OF the class acquitted them
selves creditably, the girls out
Shined them badly. Not only here
but elsewhere along educational
lines the girls are leading and it
may come to pass as Miss Word
said, "the coming man (to be any
body), will have to be born
woman.
As a finale and fitting conclusion
to the term OF I0O4-5, there was
the Alumni entertainment Tues,
daV night in one OF the college
halls. Banquet, is the common
name applied to gatherings OF TINS
but it is somewhat in
appropriate as title in this sober
age unless it be held that genuine
good fellowship expressed by acts
and words is as much OF feast as
is that where rich ViandS abound
and old and costly wines flow as
freely as water.
The audience present consisted
of the present school FACULTY, most
of the graduates of 1903 and a.
the Alumni and all of the class of
1905, except Miss Annie Buie, who
was reported sick, and the invited
guests, including in all some forty
persons.
The program was the usual one,
prefaced by an address from Prot,
ErnSberger. Mrs. Rose Howell de-
livered the address of welcome for
the Alumni, the reSpone to which
was made by Miss Lola Word.
Then followed music and other ad-
dresses from both old and new
graduates; one of the guests, Judge
Lair, closing with an lmpromptu
speech in which he related some of
his experiences in the old log school
house with puncheon floors. Then
came refreshments, consisting OF
delicious ice cream and cake, made
the more appetizing by the happy
social chat of youth that equipped
with hope and confidence is just
ready to enter upon the serious
walks of life. The fms to this en-
ioyable occasion was close to II p.
m. with the singing by all of

Comparing the class of 1905 with
the program it will be seen at
glance that aside from the vocal
and instrumental part of the closing
exercises, the graduates were the
chief actors.
Every seat in the church was oc-
cupied including extra chairs placed
in available space and then many
stood up. The order was excel
lent barring few babies, who at
times absolutely refused to be COM
foited-they could not be interested,
all the others were.
The subjects of the program
speak for themselves and each
assignment was faithfully and ad-
