a talk full of good Thought was
excellently delivered by Frances
DeMarrias. There is a vast diff
ference between reputation and
character. Reputation is what
we seem to be, character is what
we are. The Indians OF this
locality are the victims of the
bad reputation of a few, and it
is a condition which is manifestly
very unjust. The citizens of the
white community are not judged
by the standards of their worst
citizens and why should the
Indians al be considered bad and
worthless because a few are?

said the speaker, the Indian
voter is of very little Importance
on account of his indifference to
matters of political and general
welfare. He takes no active
interest in questions of the day,
as the white voter does, and an
illustration of the Indians indif-
ference was seen in our recent
primary election. The Indians
are important in the legislation
in this part of the state today.
They desire a further removal of
the federal restrictions by which
they consider that their personal
rights are hampared, but how
can they expect that when they
fail to appreciate and live up to
the privileges they already have.

His sufferings Are Over.

After a long a trying sickness,
little Burton Greenfield is at
rest, he having quietly passed
away at five o'clock Tuesday
morning as the result of the
injuries he sustained in coasting
down hill about Christmas time
last winter. Everything that
love and money could do has
been done for the boy, but all
to no avail in saving his life.
Burton had passed his eleventh
birthday At school he was q
'favorite with both teacher and
schoolmates, by whom his early
death will be mourned, as well
as by his serrowing parents.

THE STORM LOCALLY.
Shortly after four o clock Tues

to fall accompanied by fierce
lightning. This continued until
after six o'clock when terrific
wind began blowing from the
northwest and for a while it look-
ed quite serious, but luckily q
great amount of damage did not
result. A barn in the western
part of the city was turned

passing on the sidewalk and was
enveloped in the falling canvas,
but without injury. Geo. Mil.

was thown from the platform.
Before it could be rescued it was
quite badly water soaked. The
damage to the tent was small,
but it was quite an expensive
proposition to re.raise the tent.
Among those who lost shade

program. The game was very
close one with the returned
students winning by a score of

as the battery for the visitors
while Barse, Crawford and Kee-

GRADUATING EXECISES.
On the evening of June 1s the
closing exercises of the Com
mencement week were held.
At 200 p. m. there was dress
parade by the School Battalions
in uniform followed at 7:3O by a
band concert by the School Band.
The band is surely a credit to the
school and their music was very
much enjoyed. The graduating
exercises we're held in the open
air at the south side of the
school buildings. A large tenn
porary platform had been con-
structed for the accommodation
of the pupils of the school and
those participating in the exer.
cises. Directly in front of the
platform were chairs and seats
for the large number of specta
tors present.
The program opened at 8:2O
with a march humoresque, 'The
Cuckoo" played by the school
orchestra. This orchestra con-
sisted of six pieces and the num-
bers which were played during
the evening added greatly to the
enjoyment of the occasion. At a
given signal the orchestra struck
up another march and the stu
ents came marching out, and
seated themselves in their prop.

ing and very amusing. They
were dressed in suits of red and
white, white moccasins and red
stockings, white pointed caps
with red tassels, and their faces
were painted. They seemed to
enjoy the antics of their drill
quite as much as the spectators,
and greatly merited the burst of

the close. Three motion songs

was given by Alcesta Barse and
proved to be unusually interest

the term. "a good home'', and

Of extreme simplicity; there was
none of the modern luxury, con.

Or healthfulness; the home was
simply poor sort of shelter.
