Friday evening, May 81, marked
an epoch in the history of the Will
mar public schools. The occasion
was the twenty-ffth anniversary of
the first graduation exercises held
by the High school and it was
marked by the graduation of the
largest class in the history Of the
school, and one that has made an
unusually good record in every re-
spect from the opening Of its fresh
man year to the close Of the course.
To one who had been present at the
first graduation in 1882, with it's
one graduate, the sight of the
twenty-four young men and women
on the stage last Friday night was
inspiring. 1t showed not only the
growth Of Willmar during the past
quarter of century; it showed also
the growth of a desire for better
education than most people were
satisfied with at that time. The
members of the class were as fol-
lows:
Latin Course Arthur R. Ander-
son, Cora R. Berkness, Georgia L.
Madison, Esther V. Nicholson, Cora
E. Osmundson, Bertha E. Ramsett,
Alice 0. Berkness, Adolph M. XII

tie M. Carlson, Oscar A. Fridlund,
Mary J. Heberling, Carl M. Jacob
son, Julia P. Peterson, Axel E. Elf
strum, Agnes H. Haines, Edith E.

ella M. Peterson, Marie A. Nelson.
| The program opened with an

ira ana invocation by Rev. NJ B.
Michaelson.
| Miss Cora R. Berkness recited
"Hiawatha's Wooing" in a very
pleasing manner.
i Margaret M. Martin read an es.
say on 1.-The Louisiana Purchase
which showed thoro research into
the history of that epoch-making
event and full grasp of its signi
Ificance in the history Of our coun
try and of the world.
Miss Cora Osmundson played {
piano solo, "Whispering Wind,
that was highly enjoyed by the
music-loving people in the audi
ence.
/ Miss Georgia L. Madison gave ;
recitation, "Rebecca's Schooldays,
which was very we'll rendered.
Miss Edith Hultgren read an ex
cellent essay on "Greek Sculpture, ,
which showed evidence of deel
study into a subject that mos
young people would pass over as un
interesting.
Arthur R. Anderson gave decla
nation, 1.-The Man Without Coun
try, in manner that admirabl,
) brought out the pathos and senti
ment Of the selection.
: Miss Julia P. Peterson rendered
a piano solo, "Rondo Capriccioso, ,

Lancaster's Tax Rate.

The Herald: The city clerk informs
US that the rate will be slightly less
than last year. A year ago the rate
was S1.21 on hundred dollars
assessed valuation; this year the rate
has been fixed at SI20.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurabIe. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease and pre-
sCrbed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounCed it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Cata1rh Cure, manufactured by j. +,
Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only CON
stitutiOnal cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea

with pleasure that many of the farm

tical value. 1t is one expenditure of
public money that we heartily approve
Of. Besides giving them useful train

helps to keep the boys On the farm, as
