GATHERING
OF The Members Of The Old
Glasses And The new
At The TWenty.Seventh Re-
union And Banquet
OF The High School Alumni
Association
Was An Event Of Much En-.
jOyment To All
The Attendance Large And
Program Excellent

The twenty-seventh annual reunion
and banquet of the Mt. Vernon High
School Alumni Association will go
down in history as the most success
full and most enjoyable event ever
given by the association. This was
due to- the fact that many new fea-
lures were added to the program this
year and then there was that feeling
of friendship and sociability among
all members present which adds so
much in making any event of this ma
ture success. Then there was an
other reason why this reunion was
so much enjoyed-in that a greater
portion of the exercises were held in
the old High school room where so
many members of the association
spent their High school days and the
old walls themselves brought back
many pleasant recollections of school
days, which after all are perhaps the
happiest of life.

handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion in red and white, the colors of
the class of 1910. The room was bril-
liantly lighted with electricity and
presented most attractive appear
ance. The table decorations were al
so of red and white-flowers of these
colors being used in making the dec
orations complete. Long tables were
arranged in the room and almost four
hundred persons sat down to an ele-
CANT repast prepared by Mrs Emma
Smith and served in courses by a
corps of capable walters.
After the invocation by the Rev.
William e. Hull, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal church, the alumni song
was sung by all present accompan-
led by the orchestra.
During the hours of the banquet de-
lightful music was rendered by the
Alumni orchestra.
Prof. John S. Alan acted in the ca
pacity of toastmaster and in his usual
clever manner announced each speak
er on the program.
Those regularly assigned on the
program were;
1.-THE Ladies'-Mr. Kenneth Camp
"The Men"-Miss Edith Bell.

cheax, the Belgian Hercules" who is
80 well known in Mt. Vernon, took his
place. After this, II was a great deal
more exciting, Scott taking the first
fall In one minute. The second how
ever, was a different thing as MI.
cheaux showed 8 his magnificent
strength by means Of which he literal.
ly crushed his opponent to the mat af-
ter five and one quarter minutes of
strenuous wrestling. The local boy Is
not in training and as result, he was
forced to discontinue the bout after
taking the second fall from the Spring
field man.
Up to this time, the attention of the
spectators had been centered upon the
exhibition before them, but now their
minds were brought to the great event
of the evening. Ackerman was the
first to appear in the ring and was
given hearty applause. He was soon
followed by "Gotch" and after the nee
essary arrangements had been made,
the word to begin was given by Ref.
cree Moore Of Columbus. The men
began in the usual cautious manner
but soon were mixing 1t" in great
style. Ackerman appeared to be the
heavier of the two and also appeared
to possess greater strength at the be-
ginning. Ackerman played for wind
and reserve force as he took the de-
fensive from the beginning with
"Gotch" making the attack with the
same determination that was notice
able in his match with Winslow some
time ago. AS the bout advanced, more
talent and skill became apparent IN
the two contestants. At times, marvel
lous speed was shown by each, both in
securing advantages and in escaping
from holds. For the reason that Ack-
erman did not take the aggressive at
any time, the bout seemed to be in
favor of the Columbus man although
he could not secure the advantage
which he SO much sought At one
time after about twenty minutes of
struggle, Ackerman was caught nap
ping and Gotch hurled him with great
force to the mat and almost pinned
him there. After twenty-nine min
utes had elapsed after the beginning
of the bout, lightning like series of
leads and counters were made by both
men and in the melee, Gotch literally
threw Ackerman through the ropes
and over the footlights. AS he fell in
to the orchestra pit, his abdomen came
in contact with the corner of the pi-
ano and he was so badly injured that
time was called and he was given ten
minutes in which to recover from his
injuries, if any, and advantage of this
time was taken by Ackerman. After
he was up, he did not appear to be
in the notion to continue the struggle
for fear that his fall against the cor
ner of the piano had rendered him in
such a condition that he would not
have a chance with his lightning-like
adversary SO the bout was declared
unfinished.
At this point, the fact that Mt. Yer
non is among the towns in the coun-
try that can boast of "sore heads" and
unthinking persons, was plainly DEM

auditorium of the new building where
very entertaining program was car
ried out. The auditorium was COM
fortably filled with members and their
guests. From 1880 until 500 o'clock
the Alumni Orchestra rendered a con-
cert program and their playing was
exceptionally fine and each selection
brought forth much applause.
President Fred M. French made ev-
eryone leel at home with his address
of welcome He first asked the class
of 1910 to arise and give their class
yell, which was accordingly carried
out with much vigor by the class
Next he asked all to rise and give the
High school yell, so familiar to all,
and the walls of the building fairly
shook when this inspiring yell was
given. Then the Alumni yell was en-
Enthusiastically given. 1t runs some
thing like this:
-Kero-Kero-Ki
We are the Alumni
OF Mt. Vernon High.
Mr.. French then extended hearty
welcome to the class of 1910 and
hoped each one would become active
members of the association.
The response was given by Mr.. Car
rol Conard, president of the class of
1910. He spoke of the fact that the
class was glad to become a part of
the association and trusted that each
member would fulfill his part in the
association.
Next came selection "Cherries
Ripe" Ueopold Damrosch) by the
Alumni quartette, composed of Mrs.
Mable M. French, Mrs. Ada B. Woot-
ton, Mr.. George B. Kelly and Mr.. Nor
man G. Turner. This number was
spleDdidly rendered and the quartette
was compelled to respond to an en-
core. Miss Wilda Clark was the ac-
companist for the quartette.
The chalk sketches by Prof. julius
Headington of the class of '04 were
greatly enjoyed by all Mr.. Heading
ton kept the audience in constant
laughter during the progress of his
work by his witty stories and sayings.

ELDER RESIDENCE
AT HAMILTON BURNS
Beautiful Home Of Well Known Horse
Buyer Destroyed by Fire
Friday Evening.

At $50 Friday evening the beauti-
full home owned by B. w. Elder, a
prominent horse dealer, in Hamilton,
was destroyed by fire. Mr.. Elder was
in Burlington yesterday and stated
that he could plainly see the flames
from the train on his way home and
knew from the location of the fire
that ii was his property,
The fire originated from a defective
flue from the furnace, that was located
under the sitting room. The fire de-
partment arrived at the scene as soon
as possible, but the flames had too
great start and were beyond con-
troll.
The entire family were away visit
ing relatives in Pittsburg, Penn, with
the exception Of Mr.. Elder, who was
in Burlington transacting business.
Mr.. Elder stated that it was his in
tention to have all of the family to-
gether on Thanksgiving day and
celebrate with a reunion, but now they
are homeless.
The blaze started at $50 and con-
tinued to burn until 1880 when every
piece of wood work in the building
was consumed The property is COW
cred by insurance but it will in no way
cover the loss Mr.. Elder said that
he would not rebuild as the property
is located too near the water power
works and for a modern residence it
would not be suitable. The founda-
ton and the remainder of the ruins
will be cleared away and sold to the
highest bidder. Mr.. Elder states the
loss for both the house and furnish
ings will be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 which is the most costly fire
that has occurred in Hamilton for
many years

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand

keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, livcrderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, a con-
slant tired feeling---inean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
