Two girls, knitting furiously
couple Of: feet away from the noisy
side of the orchestra at a Saturday
matinee, had their neigh bors a little
worried. &
1t was feared that when the bass
drummer dealt resounding blow
with his bludgeon and banged the
cymbals they might nervously let fly
a knitting needle or two.
But they were calm, phlegmatic
knitters and minded not the din or
sudden clashes. They knitted right
on, never pausing except during the
love scenes. when they appeared to
forget their yarn and take interest
in the story for a little while.

1,200 convicts in the prison. The
situation soon got beyond the control

COMMENCEMENT IN MAPLETON
ITS EXERCISES WERE PLEASING

| Mapleton, June 5.-The twenty
sixth annual commencement of the
Mapleton high school was held in the
tent erected for the purpose, and in
which the other commencement func-
lions have been held this year. The
many friends of the class and school
completely filled the large tent and
were interested listeners to the COM
plete program which was of the best.
The salutatory contest was SO closely
won by both young ladies that each
gave her address, which was really the
only fair way for both. The singing by
Miss Rodgers was in her usual finished
manner, which always pleases. The
High School Glee club completely cap
tivated the audience. They were un-

Mills of the school faculty and the
rendition of the difficult music was
beautiful and artistic.
Miss Florence Lang in the valedic-
tory bespoke the feelings of the class
upon leaving their alma mater. The
address of the evening was given by
Professor +. M. Rerig of the state uni
verSity, who took for his subject,
"Life's Work" The thoughts brought
out by the speaker were divided into
three periods. First, childhood, that
age in which one looks forward to the
, time when he shall grow up. Second,
youth, when things shall be accom-
plished, and third, old age, the years
| from which one looks backward. All
progress springs from ideals of youth.
| Adaptation to environment is absolute
lily necessary to progress. What is our
attitude toward work? We should have
respect for all honest labor. "Let him
who would be first, be servant of all"
First find your work, be active, ag-
gressive. Second, have respect for all
honorable work. Third, master the
principle of your work. Fourth, aim to
make your work creative, attractive.
BLESSED is the man who has found
his work"
The diplomas were presented by

Joliet, ILL.,, June 5.-Three compan-
les of the Illinois national guard and
the combined fire and police depart
ments of the city of Joliet were this
morning engaged in furious fight
against 500 convicts at the Joliet
state penitentiary. Five buildings on
the interior grounds of the institu-
ton were reported in flames. At last
reports the fighting was increasing
in violence. Five convicts were re-
ported to have been seriously in
Jured, while score or more receiv-
ed lesser injuries. Several members
of the national guard and the two
city departments were also hurt.
The battle was the result of a con-
spiracy on the part of the convicts
to make rush for their liberty. The
rush was attempted this morning.
The plot seems to have resulted
directly from a new order by George
l.. Bowen, the acting warden, that
only relatives of the convicts shall
be allowed to visit them. When this
new order was announced to the
convicts yesterday, it was greeted
with angry yells and cat-calls. 1t is
