NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, May 15.-Cotton fu lures opened steady at decline of @5 points. Cables were as high as ex- pected, but the weather map showed ia rly good weather over the cotton belt and encouraged selling for the short account. Longs liquidated to some extent, but the markes did not show any of the selling power in the early selling. On the, other hand, buying orders were scarce and th market had little strength. At the end of the first half hour prices were @S points under yesterdays final ac- tion.
 Toward the middle of the morning selling increased as the result of weather over the larger part of the cotton belt. Selling appeared to come from scalping shorts, however who were quick to lake small profits. At level 10@11 points under yester- days close the demand increased and after that the market had better tone. Longs added to their lines in a small way. At noon prices were eos points under yesterdays final quo.a- lions

The purpose of the entertainments
is of course to completely divert the

LIBERTY'S FIRST COM
MENCENTENT GREAT
SUCCESS

The exercises of the Liberty school. in
Franklin township, were held on the even
ing Of the 7th inst. The house was very
tastefully decorated with flowers, crepe
paper and asparagus. The following prog
ram was well rendered: The first number
was an instrumental solo, by Miss Rae
Beauchamp, after which Rev. Heinlin gave
the invocation.
Miss Orpha Gilmore, the graduate OF the
school, rendered The Deathbed Scene Of
benedict Arnold" in most creditable
manner. She was followed by song by a
mixed quartet composed by Miss Malissa
Moore. Miss Savella Springer, Julius Klos-
terman and Harlow Burdge, which was en-

ecited "One Rainy Day" Miss Alma Dam
meyer delivered an Grafton entitled The
Progress OF Humanity" Her selection was
rendered in "A most excellent way. Miss
Malissa Moore followed with a solo, THE
Crystal River"
Mr.. Doenges, an old teacher, was called on
for few remarks. He paid high compli-
ment to the school on It's progress and
urged that II keep up its same high stand
ard.

their lifework with at least high school
education.
He congratulated the school on this, its
first commencement, and urged that IL
take the motto of the class, which was:
Not at the summit, but climbing and
work for a commencement each year.
After another selection by the quartet
Rev. Heinlin gave the benediction and all
went home feeling that the evening had
been well spent.
The teacher, Miss Electra BalliDger. de-

A good deal of interest is taken in
the young people at the Chautauqua.
A baseball diamond with fine grand
stand makes match games possible,
tennis courts are each year provided,
and for the little tots lady instructor
interests them beyond measure in
drills and plays so that the Chautau-
qua is coming more and more to be
looked forward to by them with eager
ness.
The list of eight different schools
and the Teachers Institute and the
chorus, the round tables and the like
make the interests so varied that one
can be very profitably employed as
well as very pleasantly.
Celina is essentially the great as.

The cost of this outing is so small
