morning as a token that he appreciat-
ed the joke when it was on him.

The house spent Wednesday on ap-
preparation bills and legislated two or
three millions out of the state treas
ure for the educational institutions and
miscellaneous appropriations The
Memorial building bill was also passed
providing for the expenditure of the
$25O.OOO necessary for the proposed
memorial on Jackson and Tenth
streets. Provision is also made in the
bill for the creation of a new commits
sion as follows: Governor, lieutenant
governor. speaker of the house, COM
mander of the state G. A. R., secretary
of the state historical society and one
member to be elected by the house of
representatives.
The commission appointed two years
ago bought the present site for the
building and put in the foundation.
Then the fiscal year during which
they could use the money appro-
priated for the construction of the
building expired and they had to wait
until the legislature met to reappro-
pirate the money set aside for this
purpose.

 GRADUATING EXERCISES
 Bradley theatre was filled to over. flowing Thursday night by relatives and friends of the graduates, and citi. zens. It denotes the great interest of all classes in our High school The es- says were exceedingly creditable, the singing was of high quality, and the speaker of the evening held the close attention of the large assemblage throughout his most interesting, in- structive, and entertaining remarks.
 At either side were jardinieres filled with cut peonies. The class motto, "Honor ct Veritas,n was suspended above. The three lower classes were seated in four tiers, and the graduating class marched in and took the front row of seats reserved for them.
 Rev. E. W. Belcher pronounced the divine invocation.
 Principal C. C. Spratt made few remarks in which he spoke of the pleasant and profitable year just closed. He said that the teachers and pupils were looking forward with pleasure to the year to come, and spoke of the generosity of the citizens in pro- viding fine new school building and equipment. He said he realized that there had been some discussion on the street as to whether 1t was wise to pro- vide a new building at this time, but he wns sure If the citizens could realize the existing condition as the teachers, school board, and pupils, were brought to realize it, he was sure they would be unanimously in favor of it. The divi- dends of the school are represented by the graduates and he hoped that tho class of 1911 would prove satisfactory dividends. It was expected that the school would open next year with l50 pupils. He read the names of 26 pu- pills that had not been absent nor tar dy throughout the year, and or Tour pupils that had not been absent nor tardy during the four years, and one that had been absent one day only on account illness. He stated that the essays would be delivered by the three honor pupils.
