THE ALUMNI RTY.

The high school alumni association
held nice party last Friday evening.
Rev. Bender pronounced the invocation.
Mr.. E. G. Fielder, president of the
board of education, toasted the class,
and John Mccormick made appropriate
response. Hon. w. A. Jones and Supt.
Loveland both made interesting remarks
of general interest Musical numbers
were well rendered by the orchestra,
by Mr.. Jones of Dodgeville, and by the
Hughes sisters Following the banquet
was the usual dance.
There is an excellent chance to make
this annual alumni reunion one of the
important and enjoyable events of the
year. "Old'' Mineral Point has had a
good high school for over thirty years.
Thirty classes have graduated. By
starting half hour earlier the business
meeting could precede the banquet.
Definite plans for the next year could at
that time be placed in the hands of a
special committees. In addition to
such excellent extemporanios speeches
as were given this year few brief
formal toasts might be assigned and a
POSTMASTER be selected.
The alumni association should WELD
a powerful influence in advancing
school affairs. The present efficient
officers of the association make just
complaint that only corporal's guard
have been responding to the calls for
business meeting. Much life can be
put into the association if the next call
on the part of the officers meets with
the personal response of every alumnus
in the community.

SACRED HEART COLLEGE.

Roman Catholics of this diocese have
reason to take pride in the excellent
improvements made at Sacred Heart
College, Prairie du Chen, during the
past year. A large modern building
has been erected. 1t includes gymna-
SUM, study hall, recitation rooms, and
the upper floor is used as dormitory.
Father Horning, S. j., (prefect of stud
ies), reports an increase of a. hundred
students this year.
The thorough work rendered by the
Jeusits in the field of education has
contributed much to the liberal arts
and sciences; and the conservative
steady progress of their two schools in
this state-Marquette University and
Sacred Heart Colleges evidence of the
important service rendered by the
order today.

DROWNED IN THE
WISCONSIN RIVER
W.. Il. Reynolds, Principal of the
Franklin School at Wausau,

W.. Il. Reynolds, Principal of the
Franklin School at Wausau,
Victim of Sad Accident.
The Stevens Point Journal of May 81
gives the following account of the
drowning:
w. q. Reynolds of Cobb, Wis, principal Of
the Franklin school at Wausau, was drowned in
the Wisconsin river, at the mouth of Mill creek
IL miles below the city, at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Friday evening at o'clock a party of four
young men, composed Of w. G. Reynolds, prin-
cipal of the Franklin school, l.. G.. Schneider, o
fellow teacher, E. E. Lampert employed in a
Wausau bank, and P. W. Hooper, employed by
the Stewart Lumber Co., started for a canoe
trip down the river, intending to go as far as
possible, probably to Kilboun, by Monday
night
When near Meehan where the river really
runs westward instead of toward the south,
| they encountered a strong, cold northwest wind,
which greatly impeded their progress.
They had crossed to within 200 feet Of the
north bank and were just at the mouth Of Mill
| creek, when the canoe occupied by Lampert and
Schneider was overturned in the wind. Hooper
4
| of the others Reynolds took him ashore.
| Lampert swan ashore, threw off his outer
garments and getting into the boat with Rey-
nolds, started to assist Schneider. While doing
so their boat was overturned. Lampert again
swan ashore and securing paddle waded out
| until he could reach Schneider and pulled him
in. Meanwhile Reynolds had succeeded in pull
ing himself up until he hung across the over
turned boat. On returning to the shore Lam
pert and Schneider were completely exhausted
| and in this condition they dare not venture in
| to the water again and Hooper did not dare go
| in for he could not swim.
| When help was finally secured Reynolds had
disappeared from the river but his boat was
| found little later struck on a rock in Bradley
Rapids mile below the point where the acct
dent took place All efforts to find the body
proved unavailing.
Reynolds was rs years old and unmarried.
His aged parents reside at Cobb. He was a
member of the Methodist church and active
worker in the Y. NJ G. A.

A word of special commentator is
due to both of the baseball teams that
played here last Saturday. The Platte
vile Normal boys were a gentlemanly
crowd of fellows, who, despite the fact
that they had played two other hard
games during the same twenty four
hours, took their defeat good naturally
and cheerfully admitted that the best
team won. Our own boys treated the
visitors courteously. The game was a
a clean one-free from disputes, wrang-

COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES
Mineral Point High School.


CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.
The best recommendation we can give
is to say that while we played to full
house the first evening, we were obliged
to play to house packed to the doors
the second evening. 1t was play full
of fun and perfectly clean throughout.
The receipts for the two evenings
were $4,000.
Those who attended the play will be
pleased to learn that the class intends
to use the money in purchasing SAM
tary drinking fountain for the high
school.
The public is invited to come up to
the high school next fall and learn to
drink without cup.
In connection with this part of the
report it may be in place to say that if
any article borrowed for the play has
not been returned you will please speak
to Supt. Loveland at once.

IND 10 the coal up in the bins and Il
was thought at first that it could be put
out easily. This swasa mistake and 9
few minutes later q general alarm was
turned IN. -, .,
Owing to shortage Of city water the
pressure was very light. Supt Little
hales started the city engine and from
this the railroad company sot fairly good
pressure for throwina their river water,
but it was too late to save much of any
thing.
Fortunately the wind was not blowing
when the fire first broke out.
When the alarm was sounded the roof
of the dock was enveloped in flames.
The dock, nearly 100 feet high. was
constructed only few years ADO and
has a capacity of 800 tons. 1t contained
$50 to 200 tons at the time of the fire.
The company will rebuilt at the earliest

ministration, which shuts out all
chances for the common man, this
regime of impractical people who can
boast of nothing but their school edu-
cation and their diplomas, but who
have no knowledge of practical life. It
is this arbitrary bureaucracy, the mill

ment practical and elect our own Off
