after rain came down in torrents and
there we're constant flashes Of light

The storm was On in all It's fury as

The paper mill drains were una he to
carry off the water and and the base
ment was flooded several feet. Light

The past week has been the busiest
that the seniors have known since
their entrance into the high school.
The graduation of class from the
local high school seems to be some
thing ever new. There are numbers
of relatives directly interested in this
especial graduating class while there
are those who desire to attend the
annual exercises, because of, their
great admiration for the remarkable
educational system which this city
has, while still others go because
they feel proud of those to be sent
into the world with the splendid Op-
portunity that each and every grad
uate has With the many yearsof prep
aration for the very important step
that the siXty-seyen young men and
young women of the Wausau high
school took last Thursday. And now
with their diplomas and a good high
school education the pupils will leave
school life in this city either to
further their education at college,
and we sincerely hope the majority
can do this, or to begin the great
battle of life.
The senior class during the past
year has made q most remarkable
record. There have been but several
classes that have left Wausau high
that have reason to feel as proud or
prouder then the one which finished
last week In both the opera and the
play there was much talent exhibited
and the display OF this and the work
ers that there have been in this class
thruout the past four years, give an
assurance that they will be successes
in their lives to come.
The first exercise for the graduates
was a week ago Sunday when DIR.
Morrison talked at the Presbyterian
church on "An Affair of Honor"
an account of this splendid address
was given in the PILOT of last week.
"A Nautical Knot" the class
operetti, was presented before filled
auditorium last Wednesday evening.
Despite the very disagreeable, rainy
weather the assembly hall was filled
to its capacity.

The scene of the opera was on the
quay, overlooking the sea. Among
the many beautiful girls of Barnsta-
poole there is one Julia who is very
beautiful but exceptionally proud and
she is sought after by all OF che good
hearted sailor lads, but in her proud
ness she scorns them. Miss Linda
Werle took the part of Julia
and her sweet voice and graceful
appearance made her take the
part of the popular belle of
Barnstapoole very we'll The even
ing of the departure Of the ship
Bounding Billow" arrives and the
sailors are prepared to sail. Barna-
bas Lee, handsome, wandering
artist comes to the village at this
time and falls desperately in love with
the belle of the town. The sailors
are very jealous and in their endeavor
to prevent marriage, they carry Bar
nabas off to sea with them. Albert
Mohr took the part of Barnabas Lee
splendidly. His appearance was one
of ease and coupled with a delightful
tenor voice he made great hit with
the audience. The townsfolk re-
turning from seeing the ship sail
announce to Julia that her very
recent lover is on board. There has
been another love affair going on
meanwhile. Joe Stout loves Nance,
who is friend of Julia The mate
asks old Bin Salt to do the deco for
him and he does it but makes u bad
mistake, proposing to julia instead of
Nance. A mix-up results as ulii i'm
mediately confides in her friend Nance.
Joe is told, but as the ship is to sail
he is unable to see Nance and ex-
plain. Julia has told Bill Salt to
tell Joe that she will give her answer
on the return of the Bounding Bill
low." We have now introduced all
of the principals. Bill Salt, the an
cient mariner, Is portrayed to per-
fection by julie Young. Mr.. Young
possesses a splendid voice also and his
songs were very much appreciated by
the audience. The following were
the musical numbers introduced dur
ing the first act:

EPIDEMIC IN RUSSIA
Officials OF That Country Are in
Thr0es of Manea.

ODESSA, Apr 10.-"Ritualomania
is becoming epidemic in southern Rus
STA. Since the trial and acquittal of
Mendel Bells on the charge of ritual
murder scarcely a week has passed
but what a similar case has been ru-
mored. If a Russian child of either
sex in village or township be missing
| from its home for more than few
hours, a report of Jewish abduction for
ritual purposes is Immediately cir
culated, and there follows the usual
threat of excesses against the Jews.
1t was hoped by fair-minded Rus
SLAMS that the verdict in the Bells
case would allay the fanatical sus-
picion among the ignorant lower
classes against the Jews; and this
probably would have been the result
had not their racial hatred of the Jews
been fostered by the Black Hundred
anti-Semites.
For instance, the other day a mar
chant named Ratnoviski, a Jew. was
proceeding by train from Taganrog 10
his paper-mill, accompanied by his six
year-old son. In the same carriage
was a local police official, who open
ed a conversation with the man OH the
subject ritual" murder.
The Jew, naturally, Indignantly re-
PEELED the famous charge against his
people, but within twenty minuts of
his arrival at the mill, Ratnovski was
arrested and conveyed back to Tagan-
rog. He was liberated, however, few
hours later.
His fellow-passenge had suspected
that his little son was Christian child
being abducted by the Jew and taken
to the latter's paper-mill with the in
tention of Staying him accord ng to
ritual" practices
