MUSICAL BACCALAUREATE.
Mr.. Poucher Delivered Address to
Graduates Last Night.

Rev. ]. F. Poucher delivered the bac-
calaureate sermon last night to the
musical students who are to graduate
tomorrow night in Mrs. Beels' class.
He said:
The world was created amid the har-
monies of heaven and the scriptures
tell us that 1t will end with the saints
Singing the song Of Moses and the
Lamb" Music is closely related to
cent church paper tells of a visit to a
town in Illinois which was remarkable
for its cleanliness and beauty. While
praising one of the citizens on the
beauty of the little city he made the
remark that while there we're only
1875 families in the town that there
were seventy-five pianos. He associ-
ated the musical instrument with cul-
ture and refinement.
Former President Grover Cleveland
was once talking to company OF pi-
ano manufacturers. In the course OF
his remarks he uttered few sentences
which will find response in the heart
of everyone who has known the
blessed ministry of music in the home.
Said he, "In many humble home
throughout our land the piano has
gathered about it the most sacred and
tender associations. For it the daugh-
ters of the household longed by day
and prayed in dreams at night For
it fond parents saved and economical
at every point, and planned in loving
secrecy. For it certain joyful day,
on which the arrival of the piano gave
glad surprise, was marked as red
letter day in the annals Of the house
hold. With it's music and with simple
song each daughter in her turn
touched with love the heart of her fu-
ture husband. With it the sacred
hymn and the family prayer are joined
in chastened memory. With 1t, closed
and silent are tenderly remembered
the days of sickness, the time OF death,
and the funerals solemn hush. When
the family circle is broken and it's
members are scattered, happy is the
son or daughter who can place among
his or her household goods the old
piano."
The music of this world has won
many half lost battle. The music
of this world cheers many lonely
hour along our pilgrimage. The rude
chant of the boatman, the song of the
harvester accompanied by the silvery
rustic of the falling grain, the bride
goes to the altar to the sound of the
wedding march and as man goes to
his long home his friends gather
around the piano and sing Jesus Low
er of My Soul" Great is the power Of

Will Marry at Madison Today.

The runaway pair drove back to
Norfolk this morning and it was final
ly decided that they should go to Mad
ison today and be married. Mr.. Nc
Ginnis was not enthusiastic at first
over this proposition, but later he con-
sented and they will be married at
Madison this afternoon.
The young couple, after having been
brought back to Norfolk this morning
ate lunch at the Oxnard hotel at noon
They had not gone to Madison at 2
o'clock this afternoon
The mysterious disappearance of
Miss Winnie McGinnis, the 19-year-old
daughter of A. N. McGinnis of this
city, and Jesse Stenge, young man
who has been engaged in issuing a
city directory in Norfolk for the past
few months, led the father of the
young woman and the police to believe
that the pair eloped last night.
An all night search by Mr.. McGin-
mis- and the police failed to locate the
missing couple and this morning Mr..
McGinnis and officer Uecher left on
the early train for Stanton in an eff
fort to find the probable elopers. 1t
was thought that they had either
walked or driven to Stanton.
Miss McGinnis and Stenge were last
seen late yesterday afternoon. Miss
McGinnis yesterday afternoon made
several purchases about town, charg-
ing the goods to her father, which she
had never in her life done before, thus
making it appear that there was some
thing unusual in her mind at the time
When the young woman did not re-
turn home at the usual hour for sup
per, her father began to be worried
and a little later enlisted the police
| in an effort with him to find her. He
thought at the time that the couple
were probably still in the city, but af
ter having hunted all night long, and
without success, he concluded that
they had fled.
All trains this morning were
watched but the lost daughter ant
Stenge did not appear at the stations
Stenge is little dark skinned, blacl
haired fellow with very black eyes
and a Roman nose. He dresses wei
and is Smooth" talker. For some
time past he has been paying atten
tion to Miss McGinnis and her fathe
found it absolutely impossible to keel
her away from the stranger, though
every means was adopted. A few
days ago Stenge is known to have re
marked that he expected to MARI.
Miss McGinnis soon.
Stenge comes from San Francisco
where seven sisters lived at the tim
of the earthquake.
Miss McGinnis will be twenty year
old in July,
A. N. McGinnis, father of the youn
woman, is one of the substantial re
tired farmers of the county.
