(From Friday's Daily.) Before an audience of parents, relatives and friends that completely filled the Elks' Theater, the four graduates of the Prescott High School last night completed the chain of school experiences, and stepping upon the threshold of a new life, entered into the activities of a work-a-day world. Upon the stage, which presented an attractive appearance with plants, wore seated Trustees B. Bachr, H. T. Androws, Wm.

M. Claypool, President Babcock, of the University of Arizona, and Superintendent B. D. Billinghurst, and with them were the four young ladies, who wcro soon to receive the documentary evidenco that they had completed their course of study faithfully and well. Attired in dainty gowns of orthodox white, they presented a charming picture, and the group was the center of many admiring eyes.

The exercises opened with an orchestral selection, and was followed by an essay, "Folk Lore of the Rhine, by Miss Annie Myers. It evinced much research and study, and was extremely interesting. "A Plea for Simplicity" was the theme of Miss Minnie Davis' well-written essay, and it was replete with excellent ideas, backed by forceful logic. A delightful vocal solo by Miss Carpenter was followed by a "Character Sketch of nenry D. Thorean," by Miss Mamie Davis, who handled the essay with keen analysis, and evinced a comprehensive knowledge of the subject of her sketch.

An essay upon "Parsifal," by Miss Alice Adams was an intellectual effort that evoked much praise, and was deeply interesting to the audience. After an orchestral number. Doctor Kendric Charles Babcock, president of the University of Arizona, delirere-J an address upon "Public Education and Citizenship." He handled the subject in a masterly manner, and the keynote of his remarks was that the complexity of modern civilization makes much greater demands upon the individual than in the centuries past. Then the effort was to educate the prince, while now education is general, and the responsibilities are great- i cr upon the schools, colleges and universities to fit the individuality of the pupil to the work of his life. In this connection he dilated upon the importance of manual training as a feature of the curriculum, pointing out that from the interest that it develops in a boy it gives him a momentum that gives him an advantage in the battle of life.

Before presenting the diplomas to the graduates, Superintendent Billinghurst incidentaly expressed his appreciation of Dr. Babcock 's address, and the valuable ideas it conveyed, and reverting to the important feature of the occasion, said in part: In the presentation of diplomas this evening, I take it that this audience is intelligent and too sensible to think of diplomas at more or less than their true value. It is not the diploma ihat has value it is what has gone before: the thought, tho training, the self-reliance that have been developed in the years of study that the student has spent. The value of the years thus spent to the young man or woman, I do not believe, can be over-estimated. That a high school education is worth while, therefore, is not the theoretical notion of a school superintendent who is ambitious of increasing his high school enrollment, but it is the crystallized opinion of the 'business world of America, an opinion in which the criterion is not sentiment, but results.

Therefore, parents, it is your sons' or your daughter's right to receive a high school education, and every encouragement should be put forth to this end. Young ladies, of the graduating class, you will look upon the diploma yon are about to receive in its true relation. This diploma or any other diploma will not open to you the doors of wealth or fame or happiness. Yours years of study will help you. but whatever success shall subsequently come to you cither in the home or in business or in college will jlepend upon the industry, thought, and sensible conduct that you hereafter may exhibit.

In the name and by the authority of the board oftrustees, I now have the honor of presenting to you these diplomas, the first that have been given for the completion of the full four years' course of our public high school. Professor Billinghurst 's sensible Disease takes no summer vacation. If you need flesh and strength use Scott's Emulsion summer as in winter. Send for free sample, SCOTT BOWNE, Chembtt, 409-415 Pearl Street, New York 50c and joa all drucguU. and timely remarks were heartily applauded, and he then mado announcements that roused tho audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.

To Don Tomlinson was awarded the prize (a suit of clothes offered by J. W. Wilson) to the boy who made the best article in tho manual training department. To Grais Moden was awarded the second prize (a pair of shoes given by J. W.

Wilson) to the boy who in the sixth or seven grades for To Wm. Coleman was awarded tho prize hat given by Mr. Wilson) for best article made by a boy of the sixth or seven grades for like work. Mr. Billinghurst announced that Mr.

Wilson would make a similar offer next year. In behalf of Frank Murphy, the announcement was made that the four graduates would be given a trip to the Grand Canyon with all expenses of transportation and accommodations at El Tovar hotel. This announcement occasioned enthusiastic applause as did the following ono by which Mr. Murphy had donated $200 to the high school, to be used as tho nianage-saw fit in stimulating scholarship. The closing announcement was one that demonstrated the high rank and efficiency which the high school has achieved under Superintendent Billinghurst.

He stated that the school had been accredited by tho University of Michigan, and by reason of the fact, Miss Alice Adams, one of the graduating class, would be entitled to enter that institution next September on her diploma without an examination. Mr. Billinghur3 explained trat this privilege and it is an exceptional ono was available to any of the graduating class upon application. Commenting upon the subject he stated that the graduates of the Prescott High School could now enter the university without being obliged to take a course at a preparatory school, as has been necessary in the past. Thus was brought to a close the most successful graduating exericscs in the history of tho Prescott High School, and all citizens have reason to feel justly proud of its advancement, and its efficiency as achieved under Superintendent Billinghurst and his able corps of teachers.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy and want to sa-y it is the best cough medicine I have ever taken," says Geo. L. Chubb, a merchant of Harlan, Mich. There is no question about its being the best, as it will cure a cough or cold in less time than any other treatment.

It should always be kept in the house ready for instant use, for a cold can be cured in much less time when promptly treated. For sale by al' dealers. (Special Correspondence.) DEWEY, June Our prosperous little city is growing fast. Our worthy townsman, A. J.

W. F. Fuller and family, our late agent. They were splendid people. A social dance at the home of Mr.

Laskey Toggery Opp. Post-office Prescott, Arizona HAS ONE LEG MORE Freak Birth Shows Up In A Letter Of Pups Five Pedal Extremities Grow On One Canine Many old miners tell of the freak geological formation met with in this territory, and often prominent people aro heard iscussing freak characters who make their homes in Arizona, but it was not until a few days ago that Prescott could lay claim to being tho birthplace of a freak dog. How it all happened to take place no one undertakes to explain, 'but when early this week a litter of well bred pups sired by a dog owned by Bob Brow, were added to the dog census of the city, one of the number was found to be tho owner of five legs.

The mother seemed to nnderstand that there had been a mistake made) somewhere, but was apparently not able to remedy it, and now among the litter one of the pups is a decided freak. The animal is well developed, and as healthy as his nearest rela tives. The fifth leg protrudes from the body much the same as the other four. The pup has been seen by many down town friends of the owner of the sire, and is declared to be a sure enough freak.
