He was goin' so fast that when he came to
slide we thought he'd break; but he hung onto
the bag.
Dwarf Duffy went down so fast a minute
later that he carried second base off its moor
ings and fifty feet into left field.
By the end of the third inning Sim Meeker
had released four men and fined all the rest
He finally had to get in the game himself, and
Chopemout let him go down to second like
hghtnin' when he tried to steal. That made
him worse than ever.
1t came to the last inning Dwarf Davis was
on first and started to steal. and the pitcher,
instead of throwing to the plate, stepped out O.
the box and lined it to second. Dwarf saw
the ball and tried to stop, but couldn't.
His feet was still, but he was movin' irresis-
tibly towards second. Then he starts to run
back to first, and back and forth they dodge,
and the first thing you know Dwarf falls down
on his back and starts sailin' back to first by
just Vaughn his arms-or so it seemed.

1t may have been a nefarious

held their annual reunion at
Logan, in a beautiful grove at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM

and each We'd with the other

The grove was kindly provided
with cushioned seats, divans
and rocking chairs for the COM

swings, hammocks and play
grounds for the younger ones.
After the usual exchange of
greetings and pleasantries a
bountiful feast was spread
which was equally enjoyed by
old and young. Editor McCabe
was guest of honor. The young
err people rendered a very inter-
esting literary program which
was listened to with pleasure.
The profile" man soon made
his appearance and the tribe"
was asked to seat themselves
in companies and "look pleas
ant" which was easily complied
with. After a few hours spent
in visiting and recalling the
many good and kindly deeds of
our ancestors, goodbyes were
said with hope that all would
meet again at our next annual
gathering. One of the Tribe.

COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES
The Finest Ever Given in the
City.
Tic Opera House Packed
With a Pleased Audience

June l, 1906, will be long re
membered by the citizens OF
Mi souri, Valley, as the day on
which nineteen pupils gradu-
ated from our High School
M larger class ever graduated
from our school, the class of
1895 having the same number
or graduates.
The class and all the High
School teachers deserve the
highest commentator for the
work done last evening. Many
who attended pronounced this
the best Commencement exer.
cises they ever attended.
The evening was largely an
evening with Longfellow
"True Poetry" was discussed
by Edith Mcclure. Her pro
duction showed close reading
and excellent selection of ma.
terial. She made no claim tt
originality.
Lucy Brown, in a very earn
est manner gave a fine sketch
of Longfellow's life and writ.
ing. The composition exhib-
tied care in writing and GOOD
preparation for delivery.
Ruth Goodrich took for he,
"The Historical Basis
of Evangeline." The setting
of the poem was given; the
characters were described, and
she had drawn several good
illustrations which she pre-
sented to her audience. This
was an entirely new feature
Her delivery was excellent.
The recitation, "The Honor
of the Woods" by Maud Mao
Allister, was fine. Maud was
at her best and the result OF
training was clearly evident.
Emma Greene sang beauti
fully. Her solo was appreciat
ed by all.
The instrumental duet by
Nellie Bender and Ella With
row was we'll rendered ane
given careful attention by the
audience.
The play, "Evangeline, ,
dramatized, was a feature Of
the evening. In the rendition
of this poem no less than thirty
characters were on the stage
perhaps more. We only wish
we knew and could mention the
especially strong feature
brought out by each one in the
play. This is impossible so we
make it general. 1t was al
good and we repeat a remark
heard this morning: "What ar
immense amount of training
they must have had" Every
person in the play acquitted
himself or herself creditably.
The church scene in the play
was considered as having one
of the very finest effects Of
anything ever put on in Mis-
souri, Valley, either by home OF
foreign talent.
This "dreamily and pathetic
idyl' will be still more highly
appreciated by all who saw the
dramatization. The play was
in harmony with the beautiful
evening and delightful spring
time.
The manner of presenting
the diplomas by giving a class
was the prettiest We
have ever seen.
When Miss Green sang, her
was the accompanist,
rather unusual occurrence but
one that made the selection
doubly interesting.
There is nothing too good to
say of the teachers of Missouri
including also our SUI.
perintendent of schools, Mr.
Beveridge, and we say honestly
and candidly that the citizens
of our city should be exceed

barras sment and no faltering-
ever} one performed his or ! er
part as though they had bt en-
use to the work.
Cool training in the school
room is the foundation of ones
,afte.-habits, and the influence
o. good educators cannot be
owe estimated. The thoughts
ins silled into a child's brain is
like sowing seed upon fertile
ground"- the result is sure and
satisfactory. The boys ard
girls who finished their course
this year in the High School are
naturally optimistic with re-
gard to the future, and why
should they not be? They
have the true foundation of a
successful LIE, the training OF
I high school, which entities
them to enter an university
should they so desire, or by ex-
periense to be gained in the
future, enable them to acquire
knowledge by absorption. We
hope they will encourage the
class of 'O7 by words and deeds.
The class of 'O7 occupied
boxes which were tastefully
decorated and they applauded
literally when their mascot, a
dog bearing the figures GOT"
appeared on the stage. Their
class is large and we trust the
majority of them will finish the
course and graduate next year.
We are exceedingly sorry to
know that Prof. Wallace will
not be with us next year, for
no one could meet him and not
know his real worth and caliber.
He is a gentleman in the true
sense and shows the direct in
fluence of education and refine
ment.
Miss Koch will not return to
teach in our schools a fact
much to be regretted.
Mr.. Tredway was an excel
lent manual training teacher
and made good while here.
Therefore let the people Of
Mo Valley give encouragement
20 the teachers and pupils in
stead of trying to Judge from a
distance. There are too many
people of a critical nature liv-
ing to-day who always say the
wrong thing at the wrong
time so let us boost for our
schools and see how much good
we can do this coming school
year.
Mr.. Wallace, principal of the
high school, will spend a few
weeks in Hopkinton, Iowa, be-
fore going to his home in Chi
cago. Mr.. Wallace will teach
in West Waterloo, Iowa, the
coming year.
Frank McGavren will COM
mence clerking in Fred Heath's
grocery store Monday morning.
Frank is a very popular young
man, and will make a fine
clerk.

children, of Norfolk, are in the
Valley the guests of the VIM
Reese family.
Mrs. Reeder and Mrs. Berry

ton.

Kansas, this morning, where
he will visit a short time before
entering Chicago University.

grating in these days of graft.

Cures Chronic Constipation, Stomach and Trouble

The condition of the patient remains UNI
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in few
days stronger purgativc may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Apericnt
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results i'm an unnat-
ural movemcntof the bowels and it is nee
cssary to keep taking them indefinitely.

Stimulation Without Irritation.

ONNo Laxative Fruit Syrup is new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
cious flavor of fruits, and is very pleas
ant TO take. 1t will not grippe or sicken.
It is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not derange the Stomach, or
irritate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels.
Constipation.
OR1No Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as it re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tenn
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels arc irritated without amy
permanent benefit having been derived.
