The parting address fell to the lot OF
Rex Wilder Dodge of Newcastle. Mr.
Dodge said in part:
This is by no means Il pleasant oc-
casion for the graduating class, and
it is with a feeling of keen regret that
we are gathered here today to observe
almost the last exercises of the Com
mencement of 1906 1t seems but Il brief
time since we entered these college
walls, all the more as we come face to
face with the world and we begin to
appreciate in some measure, what the
privileges afforded us by the dear old
college have meant to us.
In these days Of hurry and hustle

influences and therefore he has much
to do in forming his character. a man

here at Colby, on the banks of the Ken

Mr.. II. 81. Williamson, of Lincoln
township, came to Extra, Saturday,
to pass a few hours strolling about
our pretty little city. greeting
friends and according to the say
ing, "you can never tell just what
is going to happen next" he met
with a very pleasant incident.
While walking around town in the
afternoon, he spied the brown but.
ton the old soldiers wear upon the
coat, on Uucle William Bintner
and you know when one of the vet
erans meets another one. whom he
is not right familiar with, about
the fret thing he does is to find
out what regiment he belonged to;
the company; where he was at
during those years of unpleasant
ness between the North and South.
These men found that they had
"soldiered together, stood in the
same line and had seen the enemy
coming toward them like mad; had
stood the front OF battle and after
all these years, they had met upon
the streets of Extra. They imme-
diately sought quiet spot and
then began a conversation which
was 80 interesting that before they
knew it, the evening shadows had
gathered DER the lea. Uncle VIII
liam's people had all gone home
80 he accepted an invitation and
passed very pleasant time at the

They Need No Assistance.

The Rock leland headquarters
have sent out the following notices
to their agents and employees all
along the line: 1.-The practice of
allowing outside parties to assist
train crews in unloading merchan.
disc at different stations must be
discontinued, and conductors will
see that no one except employ ees
of the company are to enter any
merchandise cars in their train at
any time" This is an order that
should be observed and doubtless
will in the future.
1t is probable that the suit of
Mrs. Whitted against the company
for $4,000 for the loss of her son
Harry's legs, that has recently
been started by Attorney Boorman
of this place, may have had some
bearing on this order, as it is
claimed that Harry had been in the
habit OF assisting the trainmen in
their work about the cars, and it
was while thus performing such
services that his accident occurred.
The practice of allowing outsiders
to assist with the work about the
cars has become quite customary,
and many accidents have been mar
rowly avoided. There has been
but little of such work done in At
lantic but the order has been sent
to all offices alike. 1t is a good
move and the people of this place
will be pleased to see it enforced
by the company to the very let
ter. Workmen were engaged at
the depot today in preparing the
semifore signals for installation in
the block system to be adopted by
the Rock Island as soon as the ma.
terial can arrive. The block will
be located at the depot aud it is
thought that it will be in operation
before the middle of August. AT

]. w. Akard, of Fairplay, Missouri
the expert shooter, gave an exhibi-
ton of his skill at the Athletic
Park in Extra, last Saturday after
noon, and some of the feats he did
were but little short of the mirac-
ulous; such things as throwing a
marble up in the air and taen hit
ting it with rifle ball; throwing q
up four blue rocks and breaking all
of them before they hit the ground;
hitting marks standing with his
back to the target and looking in a
looking-elass and all such kinds
of pranks. He represented the
Union Metallic Cartridge Company
of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the
kind of goods that the johnson
Mercantile Company, of Extra,
handle.

Printers 7 Clerks 3

On Monday of this week ball game
took place between the printers and the
clerks of this city. 1t was an amusing
game and yet good one as seen by the
scores Mayor Howard called the game
with the clerks at bat who in their first
half chalked up three scores but their
batting streak was short as the printers
settled down and by strenuous playing
shut them cut in the next eight innings.
The features of the game were the hit
ting by Smith and the sensational catch
by Kroeger of the clerks and of the
printers, the remarkable run of "Brink"
to first base to beat out a grounder which
he didn't do, the chase of Penrose after
a long fly in right field which he missed
about -four pleas" and thereby caused
two-base hit, and the double play by
Cotton on second to Lancelot on first.
The lineup and score follows below.

Christian Church Notes

Mrs. Pallister desires to meet all
the sisters of the church at her
Parsonage on Friday afternoon at
two o'clock.
1.-THE Gospel of Sunshine" will be
the subject of the sermon on sun
day morning. Everybody cordially
invited to attend. In the evening
the pastor and his people will wor-
members :of the Congregational
church.
The mid-week prayer meeting,
which for some time had ceased to
exist, has been revived.
The Congregational people dis
missed their service Sunday night
and worshipped at the Christian
church. The fraternal feeling man.
ifested by Pastor Richardson and
his flock was much appreciated. In
!. the common work for the Master for
!. the came end there should be no
jealousy and no rivalry.
Matters are looking up at the Au-
dubon township church. The au-
Sd;ences are growing larger, the
i singing is delightful, and spirit
of enthusiasm pervades the congre-
CATION.
Better financial methods are soon
to be introduced among the mem
bers of the Extra church, the pur-
pose being to pay all expenses as
fast as they occur and thus avoid
the accumulation of any debt.
On the night of the musical recit-
al the pastor could not help ex-
pressing the wish that it might be
his priviledge to have such an au-
dience every Sunday to listen to
the old, old story. Such congrega.
tirns would call out preachers
Very best.
