School Children in the Swim

Nearly the whole town turned out
yesterday afternoon to see the school
children. AT about two o clock the
parade passed through town, and then
we began to think that we never be-
fore realized how many children there
really were in the Glenwood schools
Their coming was heralded by a
drum corps and the procession was led
by the school board, three in number,
William Dougan and B. T Napier
looking rs proud of their following
as if they were leading an army
parade, and even Cliff Parks tried to
assume paternal air as he marched
on his toes in his effort to reach up
to the shoulders of the two tall senior
members
Next came the seniors with a dig
nifed mien, marching two and two
and on down to the primary depart
ment each teacher accompanying her
grade. As the long lire went by the
business men came to their doors and
gazed with pride at the bright, happy
faces and each one probably thought
of the days when he was small boy
and how he'd have enjoyed such an
occasion.
Then the bath house was reached
and in few minutes the pool was
fairly alive with boys and girls, and
such jolly time as they had, diving
and swimming like so many fish, but
not so noiselessly, for the air was filed
with shouts caused by the pure joy
of living and everyone of the older
ones was looking ON with broad
smile.
Here and there a solicitious father
or mother carefully extricated young
hopeful from the deeper water and
ushered him up to the shallow end OF
the pool. The older ones when not
jumping off the spring board or the
bank spent the time teaching the
smaller ones who were not SO well &C
quainted with the water how to float
or swim.
Surely it was good time for all the
folks and Mr.. Weidenhammer deserves
three cheers for his clever idea. But
we forgot to mention the candy. Eacf
pupil. according to promise, became
the happy possessor of package O
candy which gave an added sweetness
to the occasion.

Dan Conner has Runaway

A team belonging to Dan Connor,
hitched to an express wagon, ran away
Monday evening about 1880 o'clock.
Dan hitched up colt with an old
gentle horse ana things went along
smoothly for awhile but the colt got
mean notion in his head and when
in front of the Grand hotel kicked the
driver from the seat and bolted down
Eighth street at about a two minute
clip. At the court house crossing the
wagon was overturned and the horses
broke loose, but were suddenly stopped
when they ran into a telephone pole
in front Of the baseball park. One of
the animals was thrown to the ground
but beyond few bruises neither of
them was injured. The wagon was
twisted and badly broken up.
Dan has never had the colt on the
track but from the speed he exhibited
while going down Eighth street it is
predicted he would be a winner.

Several members of the executive
committee have been out of town this
week so it was deemed best by Chair.
man King not to call meeting until
all the members could be present. Mr.
King informed the Post this morning
that the next meeting will be called
sometime the coming week and the
general committees will be appointed
at that time to carry out the plans of
the executive committee.
Most of the business men are taking
a keen interest in Strawberry Day and
have subscribed literally to the solicit
ing committee. and the money yet to
be raised must come principally from
the private residents of Glenwood. and
it is earnestly hoped that they will
come forward with all the financial
aid they possibly can.
Remember the date for the celebIa.
iton is June is, and be sure to tell all
your out of town friends. Boost

song and the years work was over.

Joe Neeb Goes Bear Hunting

Joe Neeb returned Sunday from a
week rs vacation spent in the Buzzard
country hunting bear and other big
game.
Joe says he had fine time notwith-
standing that the snow was waist
deep in that section which made it i'm
possible for the horses to make any
progress.
The first few days out the party,
composed of John league, Henry and
Sam Bum and Mr.. Neeb, had to con-
tent themselves with following bear
tracks and shooting small game and it
began to look as though they would
fail to get bear. However Saturday
Mr.. Neeb and John league took a
circle from camp and had the good
fortune to run Mr.. Bruin to cover,
the dogs freeing him after they had
been out but short time Joe
promptly brought him down with his
Winchester and he proved to be a fine
black bear
This was successful ending to an
enjoyable outing so Mr.. Neeb i'm
mediately hit the trail for Glenwood
feeling much refreshed and carrying
serveral extra pounds of flesh which
he gained while enjoying camp life,
Joe says there are lots of bears in
the Buzzard and Muddy districts but
they have been hunted so much that il
takes lots of time and patience to run
them to cover

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Mangnall carried off the batting
honors, scoring two three baggers and
single.
Frank Ewing's catch of fly in
deep right center after long run was
the prettiest play of the game. Frank
also killed the ball at bat
Mercer played nice fielding and
hitting game for Rife. He seemed
to be weak on the slab.
With the bases full in the seventh
Everett struck out Bracken, Rifle s
heavy hitter. retiring the side. 1t
was pretty work!
Glenwood's outfield, composed of
Mangnall, Marley and Ewing, is as
fast as lightning. They get every
thing that comes into their territory

The fans are sure to get a run for
their money tomorrow when the locals
play Grand Junction, 1t will be a
hard fought game and it is hoped by
the management that big crowd will
turn out and root Glenwood to victory
Remember roofing sometimes wins
a game. !
Harker at short is the goods. He
covers miles of territory, is good at
the bat and fast on the bases.
Ed Ewing and Billy Toepfer tielded
their positions clearly and were strong
at the bat.

AuOLu0I COu0 anu
gonei That is, the ceremonies Incl
dent to graduation are over, but how
about the effect3 In the minds of
the ten happy girls who received
their high school diplomas last night,
the event will remain as an important
milestone in life's history the memory
of which the coming years will not
.,kace, though each girl now in her
< teens reach the biblical three score
years and ten
And why shouldn't graduation be
an event in the life Of a girl3 For
what other event in her life does she
make such preparationf 1t is the
snlnination of the earnest work Of
I years, since as a little pinsfore lassie
Ne fist made a timid appearance at
tie great busy school room until now,
she has had in view this finishing &C.
casion.
And think not that the sweet girl
graduate reaches the goal without
sacrifice She sacrifices pleasures all
along the line. The play hours must
be given up to spell those tedious
words, to solve those puzzling prob
lens, and read that terrifying Latin.
II she obtains the best results the good

In order to learn the daily lessons
An education is not gained in a day e

for the ten girls who held out to the
end.
But underneath all the gaity
and pleasant associations surrounding
the last school days there is feeling
of sadness which cannot be eliminated
The old ties must be broken; and
never until the final act does the sep,
aration from the schoolmates seem
30 painful. For at least several years

Tschool life. these girls have followed
the same beaten track but henceforth
the paths diverge. Each one will
pursue q different course and mayfair
In few short years--for the years
will grow shorter and shorter-no two

At the beginning then of the new
chapter of life's history, may they

After all the school is but kin
dergarten to the life to follow. Things

Suicide at Woodruff.

WOODRUFF, April Jim Sherbert, q
respectable farmer, living near Hobbys-
vile, about six miles from this place,
committed suicide last night about mid
night by shooting himself in the heart
with shotgun.
Mr.. Sherbert, according to his family's
statement, was in his usual good health
and his mind was perfectly sound so far
as they could detect. During the night
Mr. Sherbert got out of bed without dis
turbing any member of the family, later
in the night he was missed and from the
fact that he did not come in at about the
time he should have done so the family
went out to look for him and found him
dead not far from the house.
Mr.. Sherbert was about 60 years old,
and very thrifty farmer. He had hid
in some place near his place about $4,000,
which he has always kept buried. He
had no faith in the good banks of the
country and it is very likely that not
even his wife knows where his money is
hid

SAVANNAH, April 7.-Railroad men are
telling story about the passing through
the city of W. F. Shonts, chairman of the
isthmian canal commission, on his way
to Florida and Panama.
Nh. Shonts, as president of the Glover
Leaf system, was travelling on pass. he
was approached by the conductor, about
as husky specimen of manhood as Mr..
Shonts is, who told him he would have
to pay an extra fare or not occupy the
drawing room of parlor car.
Mr.. Shonts produced his pass, but the
conductor said that the agreement be-
tween the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
and the Pennsylvania system was that
pass holders could not occupy the draw
ing rooms unless they paid an extra fare.
Mr.. Shonts opiued that he would not
pay the extra fare. The conductor de-
clared that Mr.. Shonts would pay or be
put out. Mr.. Shonts wanted to know
who would conduct the ejectment. The
conductor said he would do the job him
self if Mr.. Shonts didn't produce the
money in ten minutes.
The conductor went away and returned
on schedule time, and-Mr Shonts paid.
