The annual banquet of the high
school alumni was held in the
parlors of the M. E. church last Fri
day evening. Sixty-nine sat down
to splendid spread prepared by
the ladies of the Congregational

entertaining program Of toasts,
speeches and songs was rendered.
Mr.. Dunn welcomed the class OF
1908 to the alumni fold, and was
thanked for the class by Stella Han
son. Prof. Ames responded to the
toast 1.-THE Reputation of the Class

COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES.

The annual commencement eXer-
cises of the High school were held
in the Opera Hall last Thursday.
AS usual, the house was crowded to
it's utmost, and many were turned
away, unable to get inside the doors.
| This was one more occasion to
demonstrate that River Falls needs
a larger auditorium. During the
day Thursday the class of 1908 had
been busy preparing the hall for
the evening, and very tastefully had
they done their work. The school
and class colors were draped about
the room and over the stage and
lights, giving very pleasing effect.
The stage was banked with ferns
and flowers, and set with a woods
scene, so that the class were appar-
emily seated in the woods surround
ed by flowers. Across the front of
the stage over head was the class
motto, "Only a Commencement"
This years class numbered
twenty-one, one more than the
largest class to graduate in. any
previous year. AS usual in our
high school, the boys outnumbered
the girls, there being twelve of one
and ten of the other. Ten of the
class graduated from the Classical
course, one from the Latin course,
seven from the Science course and
four from the English. All of the
class had written graduation essays,
but only six appeared on the pro-
gram. These with their subjects
were Anna Cowan, Transportation
in New York." Kelley Clark, What
the United States has taught the
World" Stella Hanson, "Glimpses
of Norway" Myrtle Woodburn,
Development by Competitions"
Howard Crawford, 1.-THE San Fran
cisco Calamity" Loretta Bailey,
"Folk-Songs and National Airs of
America"
All the music for the evening was
furnished by members of the class,
one number being a part-song by
the Misses Bailey, Chapman, Sander
son, WOODBURY., and Messrs. Lowe
and Thayer, and another duet by
Miss Ethel Chapman and Mr.. James
Lowe, and the other a solo by Miss
Chapman,
The whole program was we'll pre-
pared and rendered. AT its close
Director White, of the school board,
in few we'll chosen words pre-
sented the diplomas, and congrat-
ulated the class on their work.
Prof. Ames then closed the program
by short talk on the function of
the schools, suggesting that the
schools are what the public demands
that they be, and that such things
as industrial training will be put
into the schools when the public
demands them.
A successful years work was
closed by a successful Commence
ment, and the community is to be
congratulated on the character OF
it's schools.

Some persons have been taking
flowers from the Park. Possibly
they may have been children, who
do not understand that this is wrong.
It should be understood that flowers
which have been set out in the park
are for the enjoyment of the public
at large and not to be picked for
private use. The park commits
sioners hope that this warning may
prove sufficient and that parents
will teach their children not to pick
any flowers or break down shrubs
or take bark from the white birch
trees on the hillside, as all such
trespasses tend to injure the appear
ance of the park. If this warning
does not prove sufficient, the COM
missioners may be compelled to take
severe measures.

GUNS IN THE AIR NEXT.

When SIX responsible parties bid
for the contract to supply the United
States Army with a dirigable balloon,
the navigation of the air has certain
" passed out of the experimental
into the practical stage.
The specifications demand that the
airship shall carry four hundred and
fifty pounds; that it shall make TWEEN
ty miles an hour on trial trip, and
that it shall be able to fly for two
hours at 20 per cent Of the trialtrip
speed.
If such ship is a practical affair;
if it is really useful, as the specitica-
tons insist that it shall be, there is
no reason why other airships OF great
er capacity should not be built, and
within few years aerial artillery Will
probably be an actual element of our

Busy Week for FirGmen.

The past week has been an un-

fremen of the city, three calls to
fires having been made. The
first fire took place last Friday
noon when the home of Lea

caught fire from an over heated
stove. The fire occurred in the
upper part of the house doing
considerable damage to the roof
of the building. All of the house
hold furniture was removed be-
fore the fire department. arrived
upon the scene.
Shortly after the Steel fire the
department was called to the
home of Nels Martinson on West
Fourth street to attend to chin
ney fire which for time looked
very threatening on account of
the high wind blowing at the
time.
Tuesday morning a call was
sent in from the Akeley &
Sprague planning mill on ac-
count of a small blaze in the fire
room. 1t was soon extinguish-

Andrew Schmith Puts Bullet
Through His Head
the Body was Found in the
Vicinity of Siskiwit
Lake Monday.

Andrew Schmith, Swedish
Finlander, com mitted suicide on
Monday of this week out near
Siskiwit Lake by putting pistol
in his mouth and pulling the
trigger, putting a bullet through
his head.
Schmith has resided about
this city for some time. Recent
ly he made a discovery of copper
out near the Bark River
and valuable samples were
brought to this city and display
ed. Schmith thought that he
had found his way to fortune
through the discovery of the ore
and very little could be gotten
out of him concerning his find.
On Monday he decided to take
Ed. Bergen, a man who has done
much specializing for minerals,
out to the place where he found
the copper. The two secured
a livery rig and drove out as K
as the lake when they 20
and eat lunch, and after fe
the horses started ou5,en
the place where the copper wa+
found. When they had gone
about a half mile Schmith turned
back. saying that he wanted to
get package of snuff which he
had left in the wagon. After he
had been gone eight or ten
minutes Borgan heard a shot.
but thinking that the man had
fired at some animal, paid very
little attention to it. After wait
ing for some time for the man to
return, Borgan syarted toward
the wagon to find him. He
searched all about the woods dur
ing the afternoon but could not
locate the man. Then he drove
to this city and notified the au-
thorities, saying that he thought
the man had taken his life. A
party left here Tuesday morning
and after a long search finally
found the body of the man in a
brushy place where he had gone
to commit the deed. 1t is
thought that the mans mind had
become slightly unbalanced on
account of the find of copper
which he thought would bring a
fortune, and this had caused him
to take his life. Just where the
man found the copper still re,
mains mystery but it is thought
| to be somewhere near the head
lof the Bark River.
Undertaken Estabrook left yes
terday morning to get the re
mains which are now at the
morgue. It is not likely that ar
Inquest will be deemed neces.
sary.
