HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES 81
LARGE CLASS COMPLETES WORK
AT THE sRookINes PUB
Lie SCHOOLS
CLASS PLAY WAS GIVEN ON THURSDAY
And Commencement Day Exercises are
Held Friday Evening-Both
Events Very Pleasing

The Brookings high school gradual
ed a class Of thirty-seven young peo-
pie last week. The class is n of the
largest and also one Of the brightest
that the school has ever turned out,
and the young people complete their
work under the most favorable circum-
stances and with the congratulation
and best wishes of their many friends.
The past year has been a very success
full one at the public school and the
people of the city are generally we'll
pleased with the manner in which the
schools have been conducted by Super
intendent Browning.
The class play was given at the
opera house on Thursday evening and
the young people played to an au-
dience that completely packed the
house. The seats were sold out sew
eral days before and standing room
was at a premium. The play was,
What Happened to JONES'" a comedy
in three acts. The play was not ser
ious at any moment and the cast pre-
sented it in a manner that was very
pleasing. Virgil Ashbaugh as Jones,
who got in and out of all kinds of
scrapes, was good, carrying a difficult
part very acceptably. Jay Larson took
the part of Ebenezer very well and
Norman Dakin, as the young sport,
was good. Myrtle Johnson did very
nicely as Mrs. Goodly and Grace Bacon
as Cissy was excellent. The other
members of the cast while their parts
were not so important, did we'll. On
account of the failure of a large num-
Der to obtain seats it was decided to
give the play again on Monday night
and the class repeated it's success Of
the first performance.
The class day exercises were held at
the opera house on Friday evening
and were attended by a crowd fully as
large as was present the previous
evening. The program was well rem
dered and was especially pleasing as
it was somewhat different from the
usual class day exercises. Particular
mention should be made of the original
playlet presented by several Of the
girls. The program was as follows:

facts, which we have ascertained are
substantially correct:
Sitting ~lifeless in a chair, with two
bullet wounds in his head, while the
woman who had apparently killed him
ray at his feet with a bullet in her
neck, DR.. E. l.. Moore, of Brookings,
was found in a o at the rooming
house of Mrs. E. c. Hulick, 3O2 North

when the police broke in following the
sound of the shots fired in the rooms.
%, of Aberdeen, formerly of Rich,
Okla.
From the position of the bodies
when the police entered, it is thought
that the did the shooting, ais
the revolver, a 80 calibre weapon Of
inferior make, lay on the floor at the
left Of the man, while his left hand lay
in his lap and did not indicate that he
had used it in shooting as the bullet
passed through his mouth and must
have caused instant death. The wo-
man evidently dropped the weapon
after she had fired two shots into her
own body. She also left a note which
read:
""Take care of my remains. Take
care of us both. Mae
"The shooting evidently followed a
quarrel which the two had had before
entering the house. They were heard
q%uarreling by several firemen as they
walked past the auditorium last night
shortly before the shooting. Chief
Sloan, who heard them talk as they
vent past, identified the couple when
he saw their bodies.
From the fact that Moore was fully
dressed and had his hat on while the
woman was dishabille, it Is thought by
the police that he was about to leave
her and that in her desperation she
grabbed the weapon and shot him.
That the revolver belonged to her was
apparent from the finding of a number
of cartridges in her grip.
"The woman was taken to the Sioux
Falls hospital where an examination
of her injuries showed that two bullets
had struck her, n a flesh wound and
the other one, entering below the chin,
penetrated to the brain and it was
thought last night that she cannot re-
cover.
"The woman had been in the city
for less than two weeks, and has a hus-
band somewhere who is a barber but
she has not told where he was. Her
home was originally at Rich, Okla,
a small place nea Oklahoma City, but
she spent the past winter at Aberdeen.
Mrs. Hulick, the landlady, while dis
cussing the woman to a reporter for
the Press last night said: She came
here May IA and told me at one time
that she had a friend at Brookings
whom she expected to visit her. She
said that her home was originally in a
small place near Oklahoma City, Okla,
and that she had lived in Aberdeen
during the past winter. She said that

Finicky Appetites
Put in Order
You Can Sit Right Down and
Eat Anything Served if You
Get Acquainted With
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.

With Il most pathetic sigh. the
dyspeptic sits down and views with
alarm his hungry companions Now,
the best doctrine for most people. to
hand out to suffering stomachs is
to couple Il square meal with
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. To sit
down to a good meal and eat what
ever is served is getting back to the
good old days when grand dad
carved the roast; when the family
made cleanup; and when good
appetites with sound digestion pro-
duced the men and women that have
made our nation what it is.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptics hope. They are a nat
ural restorative of healthy action to
the stomach and small lntestines, be-
cause they supply the elements that
the weak stomach lacks-pepsin,
golden seal and other digestives.
If you are afflicted with any
symptoms of stomach trouble. be as
sured that your digestive organs are
losing power-they need help, and
there is no more sensible help to be
given thom than to supply elements
which will do the work of digestion
for them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been found by test to have diges-
tive powers, one grain of the active
principle of these tablets being suf-
ticient to digest 5000 grains of ordi-
nary food. 1t is plain that no mat
ter what the condition of your stom-
ach, or how far your disease has
progressed, one of Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets taken at mealtme will
do the Work-give your stomach an
opportunity to regain its lost pow
