ost faith in baseball. he is just one
more factor of a public eager to re-
pudiatc the slightest suggestion OF
dishonesty and anxious to back up
the efforts to maintain for baseball
the reputation it has had for years
clean. on the square, wholesome and
distinctively American.
Disloyat y and dishonesty did what
all the sluggers in the American
League could not do-drive Eddie
Cicotte from the box. Thus one Of the
idols of the American boyhood fell
from his pedestal OF fame. My mind
this constitutes one of the saddest
features connected with the baseball

1t is said American women wear
$50, 100000 worth of corsets a year.

The Rev. William Sunday is of the
opinion that the ex-kaiser should be

Another thing that unsettles the

that there are entirely too many peo-

the work of men.

the stage, which was done in green
and white, at $3.50. The girls all
dressed in white, carrying boquets of
American Beauty roses, and the boys
wearing the usual blue, each wearing
q class flower. When all were in
place. the class sang the High school
song, which was followed by the in
vocation by Rev. Van Dyke. Dorothy
Pike gave the salutatory address,
Improved Citizenship" The next
number was the class Prophecy, by

erly written and afforded, many good
laughs at the expense of the different
members Of the class.
The Boys Glee Club sang "O'er the
Morning Sea-" in their usual pleasing
manner. Leo Duggan, who holds
third honors Of the class, gave an
Grafton entitled "The High School and

plays in Iowa's school system.
The Senior Girls Chorus furnished
a number on the program, singing
Sparkling Sunlight" The class
gifts were then presented by the gift
committee, Sarah O'Connor, Timothy
Ryan and Cy Yarns. A miniature lum-
Der wagon, which was cleverly decor
ated, carried the gifts. These gifts
were "take offs" on the Characters
tics Of the members of the class. They
caused many bushes to appear on the
faces Of the members.
Lorraine Tamisiea then delivered
the validictory address, "The Mean
ing Of Commencement"
Supt. Smylie then peresented the
class to the president of the Board of
Education, Mr.. L. w. Brown, who in

BRooKHARxsya. ctYNMjYNa:

A large audience Of Labor Union
men, farmers and others interested,
met in the K. Of c. hall at 8 p. M,
last evening. to formulate plans to ~
sist in the defeat Of Senator Cum
minis at the primary to be held in
Iowa on Monday, June z. Paul Cox
was the chairman of the meeting.
The above interests are very much
opposed to the Cummins-E csh bill,
passed by the present congress, and
hope to bring about a defeat Of one
of its authors, Senator Cummins.
Col. Brookhart, of Washington. To-.
will be the republican opponent Of
Cummins on the republican primary
ballot. The object is to line up be-
hind Brookhart on primary day, and
put Cummins out of the race for the
fall election.
Two speakers, Robt. McBernie, dep
uty president of the B. of r. T., Of
Boone, To-, and C. j. Lackenby, gen.
eral organizer of the Eoilermakers
Union, of Kansas City. gave an out
line of the objects of the meeting.
Each one presented lucid explana-
ton. They were followed by B. H.
Smith, an engineer Of Boone, To-, and
James Stedman, deputy president Of
the B. of L. F. and E. of Clinton,
To-, who took up the subject in detail,
and produced the necessary evidence
to show the justice of the movement.
Their talks were we'll received by the
audience and elected much favorable
comment. A committee from each
branch of organized labor here, and
a committee representing the farm
ers, will be appointed to assist in
helping the cause along.
Literature on the subject will soon
be received by Paul Cox, and parties
interested can be supplied with the
same by making application him.

B. OF R. E. WINS.

The Cattle Butchers ball team
from South Omaha were beaten at the
City Park, Monday afternoon. by the
local B. of R. E. team, the score
board showing 10 to A at the end Of
the scramble.
The game was to 8 up to the
sixth frame, with both teams playing
true to form. The Butchers began to
slacken while the locals gained mo.
mentum with each passing inning.
VIM. Young, short stop Of the To-
Gals, made spectacular play in the
second stanza, when, unassisted, he
copied a hot line drive and then ran
to second. making a double play which
retired the Cow fellows and kept
them out of two scores.
The game was really better play
ed one than the score indicated. The
locals got 10 bingles, Omaha only 8.
A number of errors was made by both
sides, owing to lack of practice, it be-
ing their first game this season.
The battery for the Butchers was
Wilhome and Myers. For the B. of
r. e., Moore, Soren Hansen and Nc
Cune. Moore threw the first 8 in
nings in his usual faultless style and
Soren was given try-out in the last
frame. Oh boy! he is southpay and
some twirler, we'll say. Don't be sur
prised if Soren is playing in the big
league before the icebergs come next
winter. His attitude gives him a
prestige enjoyed by no other pill
pusher in this neck of the woods.
A good crowd attended, many ladies
being present. Umpire j. L. Hishow
gave good clean judgments.
Manager George Heffley says his
"Colts" will be in trim to meet 'em all
from now on.
