The High School Entertain-
mani

IIlCIIls
If the progress of a people is
measured by the interest taken
in its educational institutions,
] then, certainly, Missouri Valley
has no reason to have anything
but the highest hopes for the
future. Mr.. Smith was reach
ing for the standing Room
Only" sign when the crowd be-
gan to cease flowing into the
Opera House last evening to
learn what the pupils of our
schools were learning and if
they were able to deport them
selves with credit before a crit
ical audience. There is one
duty with which cur people
should be impressed by last
nights performance, viz, that
we should retain Prof. Bever-
idge at the head of our schools
at all hazards even if we must
kidnap him, (kidnappers are
not being convicted nowadays
anyhow.)
Education consists in teach
ing others to do things them
selves; not imparting know
ledge only. Our superinten-
dent has shown that he has
made no mistake in the choice
Iof his vocation, for, he has the
faculty of bringing to the sur
face the hest there is in the
pupil. More credit is due the
teachers of great men than to
the men themselves. BY all
means let us keep at the head
of our schools the BEST MAN we
have ever had.
The entertainment last even
ing from the concert singing by
the fifty-fve voices of the 5th
and 9Th grades to the final
scene in the Shakespeare farce
was excellent.
The debate by the four pupils
of the 10th grade, Albert Porter
Russell Lyon. Worcester War
rem and Charles Kennedy sur
passed anything of the kind
that has ever been attempted
in Missouri Valley. Harry
Fensler was chosen chairman
by the boys and conducted him
self with much dignity and
praise. Speaking has been de-
scribed as the ability to think
on-one's-feet. Everyone of the
debaters showed he could face
one of the largest audiences
ever brought together in the
Opera House without losing his
head. When we consider that
the boys were just as much
alone in the compilation of the
subject matter of their speech

Tuesday, Feb. goth he would
be seventy-four years old. 1t
looked for a while as if he was
not going to be surprised as he
had gone out to his Willow farm
to build a hog house, and did
not propose to leave his job UNI
finished. But he came home
and enjoyed a good time. There
were present three daughters
and their husbands, six grand
children and three great grand
children.
Mr.. Hefford came here alone
over fifty years ago, but since
he came he has secured and re-
tanned a Mrs. Hefforl and sew
eral daughters who in turn
have secured good sons-in-laW
for him and from these unions
have come several grandchild-

Accidently Shot.

Nick O'Brien, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John O'Brien, was danger
ously injured yesterday while
out hunting ducks. In some
way he dropped his gun and
when it struck the ground it
was discharged, the load of shot
striking him just above the hip
bone and coming out of his
back, making a desperate wound
He walked half a mile after he
was shot and then gave out and
was carried to his home on Mill
street. DR.. John L. Tamisiea
was called and dressed the
wound and thinks that the boy
will recover. The hole torn in
his side by the charge of shot
was large enough to admit
three of the doctors fingers and
the wonderful part of it is that
the boy was able to walk half a
mile after he was shot.

es as they were in the delivery
of them, their performance be-
comes all the more remarkable.
If this isn't education and de-
velopment, let some one tell
what is. The audience was
very demonstrative over the
debate and the boys and their
parents as we'll, were showere d
with congratulations. The
credit however belongs to a
superintendent who can bring
this latent talent to the sur
face. The Hamlet Up to Date
and Romeo and Juliet. revised
were very laughable and every
performer did we'll. The piano
solo by Miss Mable Cook was
praised by her friends who
hadn't seen or heard her per-
form lately. She certainly has
marked ability and her improv-
ment is extraordinary. She
has a most delicate touch, as
pianists say, and plays with
rare expression and technique.
Everyone enjoyed the vocal solo
of Miss Emma Green whose
voice easily fills the Opera
House and is sweet too. The
piano duet by the Misses With
row and Bachelor was a pleas
ant number which was very en-
PERTAINING. We mustn't forget
the Anterior twins whose So
prano and alto duet was one Of
the best things in the whole
show. All the specialties were

M0T0RMAN WAS
SERIOUSLY
STABBED
By Negro in a Fight Between
Whites and Negroes on
Car Last Night.

Motorman Quill McNair was seri-
ously stabbed last night about 1880
o'clock in fight between the whites
and negroes on the last East Hill
car. Conductor McCurdy was bruised
UP considerably and a number of pas
sengers bear marks of the encounter. |
The fight occurred at the corner of
Alcaniz and Strong streets and was
engaged in by about twelve negroes
and seven or eight whites, including
the conductor and motorman. The
injuries of the motorman are consid-
cred very serious. He was stabbed
three times by an unknown negro
and once in the side, and also bitten
on the left breast. He is now in thcl
hospital, where he is resting as easy
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
According to the stateme. mt of
Conductor McCurdy four negroes
boarded his car together and one of
them essayed to pay for the crowd
,fHe paid for only three, but insisted
that he had paid for four. and refused
to pay another fare when the conduc-
tor made the demand. The latter put
the man off the car, but he quickly
jumped on again and struck the con-
ductor blow in the face with an
umbrella. The other negroes, it is
said, who were all the time urging
the first negro on, then jumped into
the fight

fusion in the rear of the car stopped

the passengers to jump off, and seem
ingly all OF them took hand in the
fight striking blows with any inst:l-
ments they could get their hands
upon.
Two or three of the negroes ran as
soon as the fight got under Roadway
but the man who started the trouble
ran to a nearby fence and securing a
picket came back and for few mo-
ments made things exceedingly lively
for the whites but they finally over.

In this scrimmage the negro drew a
knife and gave Motorman McNair
several stabs from which the blood
! flowed freely. The negro finally made
his escape. and those engaged in the
| 6ght boarded the car and came back
to the city.
At the corner of Government aud
Palafox streets the motorman VINO
was bleeding freely, was placed in a
hack and sent to the office OF the COM
pany's surgeon where the wounds
were dressed. ..
Afterwards the police went out to
make an Investigation and to search
for the man who was the cause of the
disturbance, and also those who were
engaged in the mix-up.
