tice continued. These children employ
ed in such factories are ignorant, sullen,
vicious and dishonest and make bad citi-
zens. TO let rich men get richer we are
allowing them to fill the almshouses,

stopped by the wholesale abolition of
child labor under fourteen years. The
greatest problem is the enforcement of
child labor laws.
Miss Margaret Cooper gave the last es-
say, on Wagner and the Modern Opera
She outlined the life of the great COM
poser in very interesting manner, told
of his discouragements and failures, and
how his failures caused him to put that
human element i'll his compositions that
finally made him famous. The first pro-
duction of Tannhauser was made amid
derision and a storm of criticism. Wag-
ner had kind, gentle and lovable char
acter. Only his indomitabe will power
and devotion to music sustained him in
his adversities. He was sixty years old
before his success was achieved. Every
cultured nation of the world must be
truly glad that such man once lived.

Superintendent Mcconnell then ad-
dressed President Evan Hughes of the
board of education, saying that the
class had completed its work and was
entitled to its diplomas.
President Hughes addressed the class
in neat and eloquent manner, after
it had risen and advanced. He cOn2rat-
ulated it upon the excellent program
that it had presented, and on completing
the course in the school. The members
had spent long evenings pouring over.

cOnned, the last recitation made, and the
last dreaded examination passed, and the
class was ready for its diplomas. There
is a peculiar pleasure in receiving some
thing that has been earned These di-
plOmas had been earned. The money of
Rockefeller cannot buy what they stand
for, neither can kings or emperors get it
except by doing what the members of
the class had done-good, hard work.
They had secured mental training that
no one could take from them. He ask
ed the members of the class to devote
the power that this training had given
them to noble purposes.
Il believe that your joy at this mo-.
ment is tinged with sorrow at parting
with your old associations" said Mr..
Hughes. THE board of education, your
faithful teachers and your parents will
watch your future course with solicit
tous care. Do not disappoint them.
You will not all be successful in every
thing that you undertake. but at all
times be brave. be true and keep your
wagon hitched to IA star of the first mag
nitude, and your lives will necessarily
be glorious triumph"

Point Pleasant is beautiful at this
season of the year. The numerous
trees there attract the birds and squir-
rels and they seem to enjoy the sur
rOundings as much as the large number
of people who visit this beauty spot.
During the past few years Mr.. and Mrs.
Barclay, who own the Point, have set
out upwards of three hundred apple
trees around the east fside of the
grounds, and some of these are now in
blossom. The fragrance from them and
the sweet odor of the locust and other
trees, together with the soft and re-
freshing breezes from the lake, please
the visitor.

AUDIENCE Is EXCLUDED
Hearing Of Edward temple Takes
Place In Private.


When the case of the state of Min
nesota VS.. Edward Zemple was called
in the municipal court for the prelim-
mary hearing, at two O'Clock this aft
ernoon, County Attorney Plymat and
S. b. Wilson appeared for the state,
and H. l.. Schmitt and A.. r. Pfau Jr
for the defense. The defense objected
to further proceedings under the war
rant on the ground that the court had
no jurisdiction. because the complaint
had not been made or filed as required
by the statutes. A warrant had been
issued without making or filing COM
plant as required by law. 1t had been
sworn to by a notary public instead of
by magistrate.
The court overruled the objection.
The state then asked that the audi
ence be excluded from the room, on the
ground that the principal witness for
the state ought not to be unnecessarily
embarrassed by the presence of so many
spectators. The defense did not con-
sent to this.
Judge Comstock said chat he did not
like to make an order to restrict pub
liclty In matters that come before the
court when it was not clearly advisable,
but under the circumstances he was
to grant the motion. This
was the signal for the large audience
of bald heads and others to file out.
The states witnesses included Miss
Mrotz and several members of her
family and Deputy Sheriff Mccarthy of
WatOnwan county.

O'Clock last evening, when attempting to
caress the house dog it flew at him and

1t appears that the same dog bit Mr..

her around the yard. The injuries that
it inflicted have healed, so it is thought
that the dogs act was because of its

st. Paul, May 3l.-Stockholders OF

the officers from complying with the
two-cent fare and the commodity rate
laws. The action has been commenced

pected that some time this afternoon
he will issue the order. The action is
brought against the officers of the rail-
road companies, the state railway and
