GRADUATION GIFTS

A gift to commemorate the com-
plstion Of school or college life is
usually treasured as a reminder of
the happiest days of youth.
Therefore, the essential quality
OF such a gift must be an ability to
resist time-it must last-and it
must not be commonplace.
The distinctive character Of u
wares is apparent and we invite
an inspection of our Jewelry,
Watches, Belt Pins, Souvenir
Spoons, and many other articles
suitable for graduation gifts.

Mr.. Lee Eicher, one of the
pioneers of Scotland, arrived from
Chicago last Saturday to look after
his farm south west of town, and
enjoy a short visit with some of
his old friends here, MIR. Eicher
moved to Chicago twelve years
ago and is now running a drug
store in that city. This is his first
visit here since he moved away,
and he notices some remarkable
changes. He says Scotland holds
for him many tender memories, as
it was here that he met and mar
ried his wife, here that his children
were born and here that his father
and mother both died. Scotland,
he says is one of the most beautiful
little cities in tile country, with its
shade trees, we'll kept lawns and
streets, and he especially praised
the neat appearance of the ceme-
terry where bis parents were buried.
On bis way here he visited his
wife's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobs, now living in Sioux City,
and who in the early eighties were
in the hotel business in Scotland.
During the latter part Of the win
ter Mr.. Jacobs had a stroke OF
apoplexy and vas unconscious for
two months, but he is now rational
and able to get around the house,
although still very weak.

School Notes

There will be no regular school
session Friday. The pupils will
: meet, however, at 10 o'clock to re-
ceive their final reports, etc.
Miss Mills and Miss Campbell
gave a very nice May-day program
in the second grade room Tuesday.
About twenty five visitors were
present.
The eighth grade students la.
bored thru the county examina-
ton last Thursday and Friday.
We are not compelled to give this
examination in order to promote
into the ninth grade but it seems
that if country children can pass
it, those having the advantages of
the city schools should certainly
be able to make a good record. W.
have sent the papers to Tyndall to
the county superintendent to be
marked. Those making an aver
age of 500 with no paper below
$50 will receive the eighth grade
diplomas.
The office at Tyndall should not
be held accountable for those who.
fail to pass. The county superin-
tendent marks the papers just as
they come to him. Aside from this
the entire responsibility rests with
the teachers under whom tie en-
tire eight years Of grade work has
been done.
For the benefit of the public we
append herewith a detailed state
ment of the receipts Of the two pro-
grams given under the auspices of
the High School, and also an &C.
count of expenditure of the money
collected. The last items can be
| grouped under four main headings:

April "a.
2 Expense of the State contest
Yankton, May 10.
3 Expense of the State contest
Vermilion. May 16.
4 Expense Of the school play

The local school paid all the ex-
penses of the district contest. Since
this was postponed once an extra

expenses of two who could not be
notified in time, we're doubled.

barrow Makes
Sweeping Denials.

Los Angeles. July 3G.-The case of
the defence in the bribery trial of
Clarence S. barrow reached it's eli
max, today. in mass of denials and
contradictions by the lawyer defend
ant himself. in which he verbally
swept away every accusation made
against him since the trial began,
All the testimony given by Bert
Franklin. John r. Harrington. George
Bohm, Detective Guy Biddinger, in
fact, every bit of evidence purporting
to involve him in any wrong doing,
was characterized by Darrow as false.
After the denial came a narration
Is the defendant of negotiations,
which seulmina ted in the compromise
pleas Of the Mcnamara brothers.
These details purposed to show lack
of motive for the corruption of jurors.
1t was the hopelessness of the case,
he said, which prevailed upon him to
agree to the Lincoln Steffens PROPOSE
ton. in which he had little faith at
it's inception. He felt it would be diff
ficult to avoid the death penalty for
both men. but wanted to save their
lives if possible. He told of the con-
situations with the Mcnamara broth
ers, of the willingness of each broth
er to accept a sentence providing the
other could be freed: and how both,
finally, We're persuaded to take SEN
fences together, believing that the
time would come. when the sentences
would be committed or the men par
doned.
Generally and specifically, barrow
denied every charge against him, of
bribing jurors. corrupting witnesses
or otherwise violating the law. He
said he did not give Franklin $4,000 the
morning Franklin was arrested. That
he did not see Franklin that day un-
til after he lFranklim had been ar
rested The check for $4,000, which
he gave @. A. TVeitmoe and which
the latter cashed in San Francisco,
was not used for any corrupt pur-
pose. but WAS given to Tveitmoe,
barrow declared, to defray expenses
of the Mcnamara defence in that city.
