down. Following is Mr.. Steele's reso-
luton:
Whereas. II has been determined
that Congress will erect a suitable
memorial commemorating the one

vention that great highway leading

character and life's great work; there
fore, be Il

to Lincoln great national highway

bers Of this convention be seen and

HIeH scmoOL ENTERTAIsMENT.
Pupils Of Westminster High School In
Cantata and Comedy.

The entertainment given by the
pupils of Westminster High School
Friday evening last was most credit
able to both teacher and pupils, and
was so much appreciated that Il had
to be repeated Monday evening, d
great many who had Purchased tick
cts not being able to secure seats at
the first performance. Music was
furnished by the Westminster Orches-
ira, the members OF which very kindly
contributed their services. Miss Ida
I.ockard presided at the piano.
The program opened with a chorus.
Summer Fancies," by high school pu
pills. which was well sung, and In
which the girls looked very neat and
sweet In their white dresses. The
welcoming address by Clarence
Stouch was nicely worded and we'll
delivered.
The cantata. Strange Visitors, or
a meeting OF Nations" was sung by
the pupils OF the grammar school
Two representatives. boy and n
girl. of each nation, dressed In the
costumes Of their respective countries,
we're introduced, and each couple
sang a verse dealing with the char
acteristics Of the land they represent
ed. The designing and making Of
these costumes and the drilling OF the
pupils meant quite lot OF additional
work for the teachers, for which they
neither ask nor receive compensation,
end the large attendance at these an
nuaI entertainments Is probably due
in part, to the desire OF parents and
other friends Of the school 70 show
their appreciation OF these unselflsh
efforts
Notwithstanding II was their frat
appearance before such a large au-
dience, the young people gave no evls
dence of stage fright and required
very little prompting. The quaint
costumes and the accuracy with which
they depicted the country represented
evoked much applause and laughter.
Good judgment was shown IN the
selection OF the comedy Miss Fear
less and Company" IL is a clever
little sketch. The dialogue Is bright
and is interspersed with much sharp
/ repartee. All the speaking parts
were taken by young laG'ea. who gave
an animated and pleasing interpreta-
ton Of their respective characters.
Miss Elsie coppersmith, 40 the SER
{ want, was particularly good, and Miss
I Mildred Buckingham as Miss Sarah

the fire originated In the wash house

were communicated to the dwelling
and both were destroyed. together
