Lulu Maddox, a sable hued
cook at the rifle range, was ar
rested last Wednesday afternoon
at the instance of one of the
officers at the range, on the charge
of disturbing the peace. On be-
ing brought before Squire Fair
child she pleaded guilty and, ow-
ing to the very smooth talk she
put up, was let off with a fine of
50 and costs. She didn't have the
money to l~iquidate, but informed
the officers that she had an S85
dress in her trunk, a gold watch
and other valuables, and offered
these as security for payment of
the fine. The proposition was &C.
cepted and next day the trunk was
redeemed. Lulu recently came
here from ST. Louis and announced
that as soon as she got out of this
trouble she would return there and
never again wander from her own
Preside.
The Twenty-N Ninth Annual Com
mencement of Arcadia College
took place Tuesday afternoon,
10Th inst, in the presence of an
audience that taxed the capacity
of the large recreation hall to its
utmost. Many visitors from all
sections of the State-parents OF
the pupils and friends to the in
stitution-were there. Promptly
at 2 o'clock the first number on
the programme vas given, and for
more than two hours the auditors
were entertained with music, song,
essay and play. Then followed
the Graduation Honors and Dis
tribution of Premiums, the whole
concluding with an eloquent adj
dress by Father Furlong of New
Madrid. l have not the time and
opportunity now to give in detail
the proceedings-these Tuesday
happenings, SO close to the clos
ing of the REGISTER forms on
Wednesday morning, hamper the
free use of the willing pen-and
will perforce defer until next week
their proper account. Never was
a fine programme more excellently
rendered, and never an institution
gave better evidence of its worth
and commentator.
