In several particulars the com- mencement exercises of the North Platte high school at Lloyd's opera house on Friday evening were the most pleasant and satisfactory of any heretofore held. There were fewer children present and conse- quently less noise; the class orators spoke in full and distinct tones; and the programme was not so long as to prove wearisome. There were fourteen in the grad- uating class, namely: Anna Soren-so- n, Luella Salisbury, Grace Bratt, Clarice Mylander, Kate Gil-ma- n, Katherine Yost, Edith Wendt, Bessie Salisbury, Charlotte Lowe, Chas. McNamara, Wallace Doran, Clyde Leonard, Walter Kocken and Wheeler Getty, The class orators were Misses Sorenson, Luella Salisbury, Grace Bratt and Messrs. Leonard and Getty. The stage was handsomely deco- rated with palms. potted plants and evergreens, with the class motto: "There is more Beyond," suspend- ed over the stage. The decorations were the work of the class of '98. The young lady members ot the class wore handsome white gowns, while the young men were dressed in the conventional black. The exercises opened at 8:30 with a selection from the Gordon Cor- net Band, followed with a fervent invocation by Rev. Verner. A well executed violin solo ws rendered by Prof Garich,s, and then the salqtatqrian Miss Anna. Sorenson presented her snhject "Out of the Shadows ot Night, the World Rolls into Light." She spoke of the con- ditions existing in the former cen- turies; the advancement of science, society and religious liberty; the development of which has rolled the world out of the shadow in to the light. "With the advent of Christ into the world,"said Miss Sorenson, then came the new era in history; with His coming the world started on the period of its final develop- ment. When the truths announced by him have exhausted their force upon mankind, then comes the end. The wide 'reaching influence of Christianity has profoundly effected education; it has placed it upon a new and immovable foundation. We stand at the close of the nine- teenth century, which has gathered within its embrace the fruits of all the labors, struggles, sufferings of the past. The field of knowledge has not only been tjrQad.en.ed but it has been, brought within reach of the masses. Reason is asserting its rights in society and state, science and art, and the law of love is more and more prevailing in all the relations of life. And so it is, that "Out of the Shadows of night the world rolls into light." Gradually as age after age passes away the mind of man is strug- gling up from the mists of ignor- ance." In closing the salutatorian referred to the efforts of the mem- bers of the class to reach that height of intelligence through which they might have a clearer and broader view of all things. "Webs and their Weavers," was the subject selected by Miss Luella Salisbury. It treated of the com- plexity of nature and the handi- work of 4ivin.g creatures, As the silk worm weaves its web around it to keep it from harm, so may man wear one around him to keep him from the snares and vices of the world. But, unfortunately, many men weave a web of a different na ture; such a one as conceit, avarice, intemperance, and many other webs, in whose meshes they are so closely I' eld that they cannot un tangle themselves. Inclosing she said: "I am lost in wonder and amazement as I travel in throug flio rr m m r 4 Vi i n rrc n 1 tti n around about me, from the com monest things of nature up to na- ture's God, and I stand with fear and trembling, firm in the taith that what this all is and how it all comes about, I shall know not now, but I shall know hereafter." The North Platte Mandolin club, with W. J3. Bock as leader, rendered a selection and responded to an en core. ; A. uiyde .beonara delivered an oration on "Ambition." Though often depreciatingly spoken of, the passion of ambition is not necessar ily bad; if used in the proper man ner it is beautiful because it in volves the expansion of faculties and raises. man to a higher sphere of usefulness. The ambition of Ceasar and Napoleon was con- trasted with that of Lincoln and Garfield, and the results which fol lowed the attainments of each. "If we have ambition," said the speaker "let it be used in the proper manner so that it will ennoble us. Not a mean, eager desire for self alone, but let our ambition lead us in the right way to help Others, so that when our earthly lives are ended, we may not sink into utter oblivion, but may live agaiu.in the lives and minds of our true friends. Then ambition will be a benefit, not a curse. A trio composed of two voices on a part, was rendered by Mrs. Hil-like- r, and the Misses Singleton, Hartman, White, Belton and Day. and was followed by Miss Grace Bratt, who selected "Sensible Nonsense" as her subject. There was cosiderable originality in this essay and more or less humor in- terspersed. Every human life has its purpose as everything in nature has it uses, and however the desire to evade the responsibility which rests upon theIndividual, or to whatever extent we may throw our selves upon the thought that "there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will," still within our hearts there lies the consciousness that each one must answer for himself and rot for an other. "Every hour" said Miss Bratt, "every minute, every second, is changing, advancing into those higher, holier regions of thought. We cannot dream ourselves into worthy men and women; we must do more. It is not the work of a day, but each hour, each minute. must be guarded as a precious jewel. To get through this world we must keep our eyes open, our heads level. There is round after round to be climbed in the ladder of life, and we can only climb them worthily by becoming fit for the ascent. It is not those who whine and pine and quarrel with their lot who will be apt to change it for one which the world calls better." B. L. Robinson, president of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas to the class in a speech that was eloquent and burdened with good advice. It was full of encouragement, praise, and withal one of the most sensible addresses we have ever heard delivered to a graduating class. Wheeler Getty, the valedictorian, then delivered his oration, the sub ject of which was "Virtue has its own Reward." For thousands ot years there has been a mighty struggle hetween virtue and vice; but in the end virtue was trium phant. For want of moral strength to advocate what is right men have made a failure of life; men without virtue had ascended high the ladder of fame, but many of them had fallen; while men with virtue had Rift 4IUHS POWDER Absolutely-Pure- .

Virtue is to character what ChrjsHs to relig- ion; take Christ from Christianity and where is the foundation of your hope? Take virtue from char- acter and where is the foundation for your successes? The speaker closed with a farewell to teachers and schoolmates, paying a warm tribute to the former.and to the lat- ter said in part: To-nig- ht we each set sail upon the stormy sea of life. If our barks are made of honesty, sealed with truth, and our'sails made from the purest es- sence of virtue, we shall neither, fear the tempestuous sea beneath nor the roaring clouds above. We each embark alone and yet not alone, for we shall be attended by the good wishes and pra3Ters of our many friends, who will weep with bitter tears if one by one our weather-beate- d crafts are dashed to pieces upon the rocks of vice, or rejoice with joyful gladness it one by one we reach our havens in safety.

Whereas, Almighty God, in his infinite love and wisdom has seen fit to pluck the "Lilly" from the fatnilv of Mr. and Mrs. McNamara, thereby bringing- - the deepest sor row upon the family and causing- - our classmate, Charles McNamara, to grieve with heartfelt anguish, therefore be it Resolved; That we, the Senior Class of the North Platte Hiirli School, though bowing- - submissively to the Divine Will, yet grieving- - with our classmate and companion. extend to him our tenderest sympa thy in this dark hour of bereave- ment. The proposition to bond the dis trict for a new school house, re cently submitted to the voters of Sutherland, was defeated by a vote of eighteen fon and thirteen against. Another attempt to vote bonds in a smaller amount will probably be made. Tuesday night Alvy and Robbie Sherrill, sons of E. N. Shernll a prosperous stockraiser of Grant precinct, and Johnny Teats, son of Martin Teats living near Mr. Sher- rill, left their parental roofs and have not since been heard from.and no knowledge of their whereabouts is had at present writing.
