Mrs. Mary f. Cur lis.

The long and painful illness oil
Mrs. Mary E. Curtis of this city
came to an end Sunday evening last,
when death kindly released her. As
many of our readers are aware, Mrs.
Curtis developed symptoms of an in
durable malay about a year ago,
and for many months she has await
ed her final victory over her trials,
with patience born of an unfalter-
ing spiritual faith. She has been
tenderly ministered to during that
that time by her only daughter, as
sisted by faithful nurse and at in
tervals by her mother, Mrs. Dennis
of st. Paul.
The funeral was held from the
family residence on Wyoming street

Chambers, her pastor, conducting
brief service, members Of the

mainstay during her long illness.

SEVENTEEN WILL
BE GRADUATED
Only Two Boys Have Stayed
in This Glass to Claim
Their Reward
The Plucky Girls of Neighbor
Towns are Almost the
Whole Show.

Following the Junior reception
to the graduating class last Satur-
day evening, an account of which
will be found in another place, we
obtained a list Of the graduating
class of 1908, together with the out
line plan for the exercises connected
with graduation.
The baccalaureate sermon this
year will be heard at the Christian
church. Pastor Nicholson having ac-
ceDted the invitation of the class to
preach to them on Sunday evening,
May oath. Undoubtedly the other
congregations Of the city will join
as usual in making this union SER
vice.
The commencement exercises will
also be observed at the Christian
church. on the evening of Friday,
May 10Th, the full program to be
announced latter. The following is
the list of graduates:
Edgar Aiken Inez Marvin
Vean Baldwin Fife Mcdaniel
Edith Burmeister Delsie Phinney
Frank Evans Leila Rogers
Florence Garner Vesta Small
Olga Grabow Edna Stewart
Elizabeth Hannah Ella Weeks
Mabel Henderson Maud Whittet
Ella Lindeman
1t will be noticed that out of the
II members Of the class, only four
members on the list can be claimed
as residents of the city, although
the valedictorian, Miss Maud Whit
tet, lives SO near the city that we
are inclined to claim her as a Red
wood Falls girl in spite of her actual
residence in Delhi township. Miss
Edith Burmeister Of this city is the
salutatorian. which helps some in
saving our local representation from
total eclipse.
The class statistics show that the
out-of-town graduates outnumber
the city pupils three to one, and it
has been demonstrated before that
the best material in our high school
is apt to come to us in that way.
The school patrons welcome these
ambitious pupils from other towns
and expect much honor from their
future lives and achievements.
At the request of the graduating
class, the board has authorized them
to sell tickets for seats at the church
on graduation night. to defray ne
cessary expenses Of rent, programs,
etc., any surplus to be turned into
the class treasury, for fund which
will ultimately be expended for the
benefit Of the high school. The
price Of tickets will be ten cents on
ly. seats to be drawn the same as
for the lecture entertainments.

Wickersham Made Good.

Wickersham was greeted by fine
audience last Friday night. at the
M. E. church. The lecturer com.
pletely captured his audience toward
the close of his talk on day-dreams.
The truth enforced was that the
dreams of childhood and youth are
not to be lightly considered by par
ents and older people, and that it is
a serious thing TO shatter these
dreams through lack of sympathy or
brutal and sordid indifference. The
lecturers talk on the ideal relation
OF parent and child is sure to do
good wherever the lecture is heard.

INVESTMENTS

Some capitalists (and you are cap
~raIist. you know, if you have money
to invest) fail sometimes TO place their
surplus 10 advantage because % of a
fear OF making mistakes on account Of
fnexpeYience: or 81 Of tinidity due to
unfamiliarity with securities; or 80 Of
lack Of the right opportunities. We
have already this year placed many
thousands of dollars for. such people on
loans secured by gilt-edge collaterals
and returning satisfactory interest
Just such loans as the most conserva-
tive bankers make. Our interest rates
are never higher than prevailing bank
rates. and therefore the best class Of
loans are sought of US. If you have

conservative and safe investment for

you want TO speculate, and are will

investments made through US will be
treated accordingly.

WIDOW ACCUSED
The accusations against Mrs. Austin
came from Claude Nasburg, a wealthy
real estate man of Coos bay. Wash
who declared that she had obtained
some sort of peculiar influence over his
brother, Harry Nasburgs and his
mother. and was obtaining large sums
of money from them.

was sick she attended to him. No one
seemed to know anything about her

condition. All I knew was that she
and her daughter were in our family

could be. Last October my mother
