The exercises of the nineteenth
annual commencement Of the Cere-
do kenova high school were con-
duc,ed at the casino, ely ffeside
park, last Friday evening. The ex-
ercises varied materially from those
of former years, inasmuch as the
usual play was omitted and a Chau.
tauqus speaker employed instead.
As preliminary to the exercises
the students of the two schools were
formed in semi-circle on the stage
and rendered "The Star Spangled
Banner. This was a feature that
excited much favorable comment
from the audience. Each pupil
carried a small American flag and at
the proper moment was waited two
and fro, causing the audiences pa
triotlsm to rise TO high ebb.
Then followed the repdition of
"Three Springs" descriptive mus
ical number. This number was
rendered by the high school aud
seventh and eighth grades of the
tw o schools. 1t was under the di-
rectlon of Mrs. Jennie Duncan, in
structress o. music; and the man.
ner in which this difficult production
was rendered showed the competen-
cy and painstaking patience of that
lady. The song required about an
hours time and the ease with which
each one responded with the So
prano, alto and bass was another
evidence that the money spent along
the music line the past nine months
was money well spent. The students
were drilled as well as any body of
cboristers could possibly be, and the
voices were as sweet as those to be
found among any collection of
students.
Mr.. j. b. Artrip, principal of
the Kenovs schools, presented the
Kenova eighth grade for promotion
to the high school. His address
was short but to the point, stating
that it gave him much pleasure to
present his class to the superintend-
ent and for the patrons of the
schools to know that they had ac-
complished much during the past
year. He hoped that every one Of
them would attend and be as studi.
Gus IN the high school as they had
been under him during the past
nine months.
Miss May Williams, principal of
the grades of the Ceredo schools,
presented the class for promotion.
In presenting the young ladies and
| gentlemen her remarks were such
that they ELECTED much favorable
comment. Miss Williams stated
that while she was pleased 70 pre-
sent the class for promotion on &C
count Of the accomplishments they
had attained, still she was sorry
from the fact that their pleasant as
sociatioBs through the seventh and
eighth grades would now be brought
10 a termination; bat she trusted
that each and everyone's name
would be recorded on the honor roll
Of the high school in az honorable
and deserving manner az they had
been in the eighth grade.
IN presenting the certificates to
the forty-two students who are en-.
titled 20 enter the high school Supt.
G. o. Grady paid them a pretty
compliment and stated that il was
with much qualification that he de-
livered them a scroll which vas self.

On Prisoners of War.

With reference to the modern treat ment of prisoners of war, 1t is interest ing to recall the views which k. L. Stevenson in his novel. "St. Ives." puts into the mouth of a French prisoner of war in Edinburgh castle, which was turned into q military prison in the time of Napoleon. He says: ''There is q horrible practice in England to trick out in ridiculous uniform and, as it were, to brand in mass, not only con victs. but military prisoners and even the children in charity schools. think some malignant genius had found his masterpiece of irony in the dress which we were condemned to wear-jacket. waistcoat and trousers of sulphur or mustard yellow and q shirt of blue and white stripe cotton" London Standard.

DEMOCRATS FIGHT
 OVER RETURNS
Two Dead and Four Probably Fatally Injured-Further Trouble is
 Anticipated.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 15.- Two newspaper men were killed and four others sustained injuries which it is believed may prove fatal as the result of a fight which occurred last night in a Democratic committee meeting which was canvassing the primary election returns.
 It is reported that one member of the committee cast slurring remarks concerning the support which one of the newspaper men had rendered his party and that general duel follow ed. The shooting has caused the widest excitement to prevail through out the state and it is feared that further trouble will result between the different factions. The killing has served to crystalline the antago- nism of the factions and more duels are anticipated.

An Old Guidebook.

Of all the old guidebooks none is sought so keenly by collectors as some of Murray's early guides. Per haps the most precious of these as a bibliographical curiosity is the first edi- don of "Murray's Guide to Switzer- land," published in 1888. Mountaineer. ing as popular pastime was not then invented, and in the section devoted to Mont Blanc the author contemptuously declares that Tit is a somewhat re- markable fact that a large proportion of those who have made this ascent have been persons of unsound mind" London Chronicle.

LIMITS OF VISION.
Why It seems to Rain In streaks ir.
 stead of In Drops.

Why It seems to Rain In streaks ir.
 stead of In Drops.
 When it is raining just what does one see? We know that the rain con s!sts of drops, nearly spherical. falling either vertically or at an angle df the wind be blowing. But what do we zee? We see streaks through the air and not drops at all. The reason is that the eye cannot follow the raindrop in its flight and so cannot see just the drop continually. The eye gets only one glimpse of the drop in one position. while an impression is made on the retina for some distance by the drop moving.
 If the drop were still we could look at 1t as long as we chose, and the image of the drop would be in just one place on the retina, but if we let the drop escape from our direct view it makes an image, or, rather, succession of images, on the retina, and that Is what we see.
 But why does the retina show this succession of images? It certainly sees at any one time the drop in just one position. so 1t would seem that the last position seen would be the one This is not the case, and the cause is due to what is known as persistence of vision. We cannot quit seeing thing immediately after getting view of it. It takes about an eighth of sec ond for the retina to lose an image, and so this succession of images will be on the retina at one time and will cause streak.
 For the same reason the spokes of rapidly rotating wheel cannot be seen except us a blur. For the same reason moving pictures are possible.- New York American.

BEAUTIFUL NOSES.
They Arc Very Rare, It Seems, and
 Deserve Honorable Mention.

10o0TV0 NISIk'ous
 Lovely eyes you will find a-plenty, and, though finely cut mouths are scarcer, 1t will be strange day when you do not see several. But the dis covery of really beautiful nose is an event of lifetime. I myself have found exactly seven. And yet I con. slider myself catholic in my taste for noses. I can enjoy nose for its mere expressiveness, whether it is az gressive or aristocratic or humorous.
 But it is amazing how seldom this feature really satisfies the eye. The bridge may be too thick or too high. the line from the forehead too abrupt or too severely straight. More often a nose that is really promising in it's be- ginning fails in the end. It keeps on too long or not long enough. while the tip finds dozen ways to err, and a fine nostril is rarely seen. In our typical American faces. overcrowded with features as our houses are with furniture. the nose is commonly dis. proportionately large.
 But your really beautiful nose is a delight in every way. It is as far from sharpness as from coarseness. It shows strength without obtrusiveness. deli cacy without fastidiousness. breeding without arrogance. It suggests humor. spirit and daring. But tell you can didly that there are not more than 100 such in the 100000 noses of New York. You are lucky when one happens to come your way.-Atlantic Monthly.

EDITH GETS METAL
 FROM ALASKA WRECKS.

The renovated steamer Edith, Cap tain Harry w. Crosby, has returned to Seattle, after a 5000 mile cruise in Alaska waters.
 According to Seattle newspapers the Edith started to the Ramona wreck on Spanish island, removing several tons of brass from the aban- doned hulk. Captain Crosby located the vessels wheel in the rocks. In an effort to raise it he stationed a large surf boat over the wheel, run ming cables from the boat to the sunk en propeller
 He intended to work the wheel shoreward with the rise and fall of the tide. A heavy sea came rushing in, however, and the weight of the propeller on the cables cut the surf boat in two Crosby and his associates being plunged into the icy waters.
 From Spanish island the Edith went to Hoonah, knocking about that district for some time, and then pro- ceeded to Prince William Sound, near Valdez, where she divested the wreck ed Olympia of nearly everything that could be removed. The salvage i'm cluded several tons of brass, 100 tons of iron, an anchor, 28O fathoms of large chain, condenser heads and the like.

Landslide on Fairbanks Creek.

Landslide on Fairbanks Creek.
 A tremendous land slide occurred on the right limit opposite No. be- low, Fairbanks Creek, last week which laid bare 10000 square feet of bedrock, making it easy for quartz prospectors. It is believed that spring on the hillside caused the slide, as stream on nine sluice- heads followed the land as it slid into the valley. Prospectors say samples of high-grade quartz have been picked up in the path of the landslide and believe that they will discover the leads. The slide is the greatest to be reported in the Fairbanks district and was caused primarily by the creek bottom having been worked out by miners.
