TUESDAY EXERCISES.
Immense crowds were present
at the commencement exercises
at W. M. A. Tuesday all day. 1t
was the most important day Of
the commencement exercises
and program Of unusual excel
lence and interest had been ar
ranged. The program was as
follows; Artillery Drill, Sham
Battle, Field Day and Battalion
Parade.
The Artillery Drill, performed
by a picked class from both sec
tions of the artillery squad, was
both interesting and exciting and
held the closest attention of the
audience during its execution.
Every man in the squad seemed
perfectly familiar with his duties
and the drill went off without a
mistake.
t Following the artillery drill
came the most interesting event
of the day-the Sham Battle.
Both guns were placed near the
grand stand so that the final
charge would be made in full
view of the spectators. The Ar
tillery Squad and the band men
: defended the gnns, while A. B.
! and G. companies went around
! by Central college and estab-
lished themselves on the brow
of the hill, north of the academy.
The charge up the hill which was
made amid the rattle of guns and
/, clouds of smoke was very real
! istic and some of the spectators
: we're even more excited than the
boys, who took part. 1t is need.
less to say that it was one Of the
= best conducted sham battles
! ever held at Wentworth.

OF Interest to Democrats.

the National Democratic Con-
gressional Committee has begun
active operations atits headquar-
ters at Washington, D. G. In ad-
dition to it's regular work, it is now
preparing a Campaign handbook
which it hopes to have ready for
distribution by July 1st-two or
three months earlier than hereto
fore.
The Committee is charged with
the duty of assisting, in every way
possible, the election of a Demo-
cratic Congress. We wish the
active corporation OF every voter
in the United States who believes,
with us, that the election of a
Democratic Congeess would great
ly benefit the country. We must
rely upon the people to sustain
our work by giving information as
to local conditions, and sug ges-
tons for our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid
us by making a contribution.
Will he not do so and interest
others in helping us, too?
We wish our Campaign hand
book distributed as generally as
possible, and we will furnish a
copy, as soon as published, to
every one who contributes to our
Committee.
Send remittaEAes to me at

And why thy neighbours life wouldst thou
enthrall
By building up the trade in alcohol?
When placing this temptation in his path
Have you no fear of Gods impending wrathP
The wife, sometimes cast down in dark de-
spair,
Resorts to drink to drown her grief and care /;
Despondent thus no helping hand to save,
The struggling victim sinks beneath the wave.
Bethink you of the children! girls and boys,
Their rights ignored, and robbed of child
hoods joys
Alike frail vessels by the tempest tossed,
Or buds when smitten by untimely frost.
No one to guide their little wayward feet,
Phey oft neglected roam about the street.
Exposed to sin in all its varied states,
Grow up to vagabonds and prohigates.
What plea can you raise in your defense
For trampling down these helpless inno-
cents2
Will God approve the means that you en-
ployf
Does warning voice of conscience ne'er an
noy?
For woe to those through whom offenses
comet
The Lord predicts for them fearful doom
He says: "That for such man 'twould bet
ter be
Were he not born, or cast into the sea"

Born in Iowa.

Our family we're all born and
raised in Iowa, and have used
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy (made at Des
Moines) for years. We know how
good it is from long experience in
the use of it. In fact, when in E]
Paso, Texas, the writer's life was
saved by the prompt use of this
remedy. We are now engaged in
the mercantile business at Mar

the remedy here. 1t has proven
very successful and is constantly
growing in favor.-ENNIs BROS

excellent men never do one thing
to help along the work-not even
to attend a temperance meeting.
