Obituary

Ollie Ellen Seright was born
near Pleasanton, Kansas, July 2,
1885. Was united in marriage
to Ross W. Eaton December 18,
1907. Departed this life April
10, 1912, being at the date of her
death, 27 years; 8 months and 18
days. She united with the Chris
tain Church in Pleasanton, Kans.
in November, 1907, and lived a
devoted christian life until her

a mother, five sisters, three brot-
hers besides many other near
relatives and friends to mourn
her departure. Her father hav-
ing passed on before.
The family has lost a devoted
loved one and the cause of christ
q faithful adherent and we are
left to mourn our loss. In the
death of Ella, as she was familiar
ly called, the community has lost
one who was very dear to us. By
her kindly genial disposition she
wontmany friends, and it will be
long before this name will be for
gotten. But we do not sorrow
without hope. We bow submiss-
lively to the will of Him who
doeth all things well, believing
that our loss is her eternal gain.
A short funeral service was
held at the home near Mills, and
her sorrowing husband and her
sister, Miss Jessie Seright, start
ed Thursday to her old home at
Pleasanton, where funeral ser.
vices will be held. Interment in

Plant a Few Trees

The trees surrounding the Ideal
Grocery and the few other trees
in town are beginning to leaf out
and before long will present a
most attractive contrast to the
treeless prairie which surrounds
our city. Nothing would add
more to the appearance Of the
residence or the farm than a fe W
choice fruit or shade trees, and
if every property owner of Roy
would plant "a few trees around
the house or along the street, they
would make life more pleasant
and add an increased attractive
ness to the place.

Graduation Dance

The dance given at the Odd
Fellows Hall last Saturday eve
ming, was one of the best stunts
pulled off this season. The dance
drew a very large crowd, owing
to the fact that it was given in
honor Of the Graduating Glass
of 1912, of the Roy Public Schools
The music for the occasion was
donated by Mrs. j. Floefsheim,
piano, A. S. Hanson, violin and
|. G. Floersheim, drums.
The class wishes to thank the
orchestra and the people who at
tended and helped make it q
grand success.

Graduation Night

The people of Roy, and especial
ly the parents of the young people
of the graduating class, are still
living over the triumph of the
graduation night. Such an event
deserves to remembered as a
RED letter day., for there are
few towns of the size who can
boast as bright, we'll trained and
generally prepossessing a class
as that which was matriculated
from the Roy High School. The
unexpected arrival of DR.. +. H..
H. Roberts. President Of the
State Normal School at Las Veg
as, and member of the State
Board of Education, was one of
features of the event that none
could overlook. His happy facul-
ty Of saying the right thing at
all times in a way which you can
not forget it and his happily
worded advice and commendation
to the class in presenting the
diplomas was, in itself a treat.
The orchestra, while overlooked
in the general expressions OF
thanks, was by no means a neg
lible quantity in the evenings en-
tertainment and the music was
discreetly chosen with a view tc
relieving the tension between the
other numbers on the program
The floral tributes to the class
were unusually beautiful and
generally the people of Roy wed
with each other in expressions OF
appreciation.
The Fly in the Ointment, tt
those who had entered fully in
to the spirit of the occasion, was
certain untimely remarks offered
by some members Of the Schoo
I Board, touching certain petty diff
\ fferences and jealousies which pro
badly do exist but which we believe
had no place on a festal occasion
such as this. This disgressior
however, served the purpose o
emphasizing, by contrast, the SUI
eriority of the school children ovei
, even those who should be an ex
ample to them in wisdom, justice
and moderation and in the amen
: tiles of life as well as IN busines
J management and discipline il
schoolmatters. Welcome the da,
when all men shall put away tn
petty jealousies that mar, an
I dwarf and tell the story of man

Refused to Aid

Washington, April o. With
succor only five miles away, the
Titanic slid into its watery grave
carrying with it, more than l 800
of its passengers and crew, while
an unidentified steamer that
might have all failed, or refused
to see the frantic signals of those
on board.
The tragic disaster was brought
to day before the Senate inves-
tigating committee, when j. Box
hall, fourth officer on the Titanic
told Of his unsuccessful attempts
to attract the strangers attention.
This vessel, according to Boxhall
could not have been more than
miles away and was steaming a.
way from the Titanic. So close
was it that from the bridge. Box.
hall saw the lights. With rockets
and with the Morse electric sigma
did the young officer, hail the
ship. Captain Smith and sever
al others in the vicinity of tht
bridge declared at the time it was
their belief that the stranger hat
seen them and was signalling il
reply. Boxhall failed to see thu
replies, however, and in any cas-,
the stranger kept on its course
obliquely past the Titanic withou
lending aid.
