oui ail agree that the eutertainment re fleeted much credit on those who took part, on our school Professor Murphy and his corps of teachers. One pleasing feature is that the young men eutnumuerea me youna ladies who graduated. Tins is the first time the history of the high school that such a thing has happened and goes to show that in the new era said to be iust riawaing, when the Mary Ellens aud the Tirzah Ann's shall rule, that the boy3 six of them at least will not have to be cooks or chambermaids, but are eligible for clerkships and stenographers to the the governoress, the sena- toress and the many other esses usually attached to people who hold high ofh cial positions.

These windy days have not been hard corn. As a rule, there is plenty of moisture for the crop at present, and a splendid color and vigorous growth help. The cherries, plums and apples will be a light crop, although when in bloouf they promist-d a big crop, but some reason they failed to set. Peaches and apricots will fee a great crop and grapes an average one. orange Married, At the home of the bride's parents in thig city, on Wednesday night, by Rev.

C. S. Nusbaum, Owen Galloway to Maggis Steelman, both of this city. For several years we have known Mr. Galloway and have always found him an honest, industrious young man.

True stoiy from the pighton Herald: Thirteen years ago this spring a herd Texas cattle passed Gene Miller's place and left behind a little heite.r calf, too weak to follow the others.

Senator Morgan uses plain language arraigning the Pacific rai road looters and opposing the bill concocted the Huntington lobby to shoulder the burdens of the plundered roads on the government, The senator asserts that the evidence cf fraud and peculation was not concealed. by Huntington's testimony his evasions of the truth were plainly intended to mislead congress into turn ing over to him the Central Pacific railroad, after he and his associates have been made enormously rich by plundering it and thp He charges that hi3 own fraudulent dealing has driven the road into bank ruptcy, from which he pleads that his pride impels him to save it. The bill proposes to yield cp the government control of the roads and hand them oyer 0 the men who have plundered and thrown them into bankruptcy for fraudulent purposes.

It proposes to give these men more plunder and rob the people of millions of dollars by providing for the government's assumption of the indebtedness the roads at-arate of interest one and one-half per cent, higher than the government will receive from the roads. In short, the preposition i3 to make the looters Jsecure in the possession of the plunder they now haye and to give them fresh opportunity.
