Principal C. W. Iloff, with his assistants, Mr. Ira Marsh and Miss Clara A. Eck, af ter a year of faithful labor In the cause oT education, had prepared a programme of exercises by their pu pils which was very gratifying to the patrons of this school district, as the evidence of the benefits derived by tho higher education which Is af- iorucu in tneir nign school were clearly proven by the excellent man ner in which the graduates acquitted themselves. Alio loth: orcnesira iur- nished the music which added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. Principal Iloff presided and Intro duced those who took part. The pro gramme was as follows: "The Plant ing of Trees," Daniel Eno; Class Solo, Hose M. Hahn; Class History, Mattie M. Erk; "Uses of Adversity," Helen M.

Thompson; Music, Lyric Orchestra; Class Prop hecy, Raymond Thayer; Address, Supt. J. J. Koehler; Presentation of Diplomns, Supt. J. J. Koehler. Dr. Waller, for some reason not known, failed to be present, and Supt. Koeh ler, without any previous notice, was asked to make the address, and al though he had expected to be enter tained with an address by Dr. Wal ler, he kindly consented to fill the gap, and gave the audience one of those simple, plain, wholesome talks on the benefits of a High school edu- cation that make a more lasting im pression upon the ordinary audience than many an address which Is care fully prepared and elaborately ar ranged, but which Is understood only In spots. The class colors were blue and gold. Tho class motto was "flow. Not Drift." The class consisted of Mildred C. Thompson, ilrst honor; Rose M. Hahn, second honor; Helen M. Faatz, third honor; Mattie M. Erk, Gladys Mantle, Cecil Box, Dan iel M. Eno, Raymond Thayer. The Board of Directors which con sists of H. A. Dunkelberg, President; Georgo Evnns, Secretary; Walter Stock, Treasurer, Georgo P. Grlener, Freeman Lester, and A. W. Eno, wore present and it must havo been a source of gratification to them to see the admirable results of the year's course. There were many in the au dience who came from neighboring towns and communities; among tho Honcsdalcrs, wo noticed our Presid ing Judge, who is an enthusiast on anything of an educational character. It was a well-pleased audlenco that wended their way homeward, nnd many pleasant and well-deserved compliments were heard of the good work of Principal Iloff and his as sistants.

King Edward's Body Moved to Westminster. SIMPLE, IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. London Sees Remains Taken From Buckingham Palace First Partici pation of Public In Obsequies. Series of Solemn Pageantry. Londou, May 17. Willi solemn cere monies the body of the late King Ed ward VII. wns removed today from Buckingham palace to Westminster, where It will remain until next Fri day, when the funeral Is to take place. The city was crowded today with nu army of spectators from the provinces and the continent. It was the first time that the public has participated in the obsequies. Tlio body arrived tit Westminster.nt noon today, where there was a brief religious service conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of Loudon. This service wns attended by the house of lords and house of commons. From the moment the procession left Huckiiigliiini palace till tho casket was placed on the catafalque in West minster, Big hen, the famous bell that booms out the passing hours from tho ;,K.; tower of the house of parliament. to ed everv fifteen seconds The ancient hall was not draped, nnd the ceremonial was of magnificent sim plicity. The cotlin rested 011 a draped catafalque. The only sign of decora tion was a purple cloth covering the platform of the catafalque and the trappings of tho bier. The king and queen, the queen mother nnd other royal mourners were grouped about the catafalque during the service. From today until the departure of the cortege next Friday from Pnddlngton station for Windsor castle the Inhabit ants of Londou and visitors from out if town will be spectators of a succes sion of solemn nnd Impressive serv-' Ices. The funeral of Queen Victoria touched London only In Its passage from one railroad station to another. In King Edward's funeral the people will be able to see the trnnslt of the coffin from the palace to Westminster hall, the two days lying In state nnd the tinal military pageant on Friday, when the cortege will traverse three miles of the streets of London. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who Is noting as special ambassador of the United Stntes at the obsequies. Is stop ping at Dorchester House. King George V. lias received him warmly, but as the court Is In mourning lias not been able to extend to the former pros- Ident the hospitality which would oth- erwise mark the receptlonjif the dls- tinguisiiPd American. Mr. Roosevelt witnessed today's serv- Ices. An Idea of the probable cost of the ! funeral can be gained from the ex- 1 penso in connection with Queen Vlc- torla's. The latter amounted to $150,- 000, of which ? 12,000 wns spent for the entertnlunu'iit of royal foreign guests nnd $.r0,000 for the expenses of the troops. Many more royalties will bo present nt King Edward's funeral than were nt Quetn Victoria's. The cost, therefore, will be proportionally great er. Mrs, Nicholas Longworth, daughter of Colonel Roosevelt, has arrived here from America and Is with the Roose velt party. - TALE OF TAIL OF WHALE.

I It has beentrted on several I different occaH?iS by the business ! people and n'snpers of our town, j that tho cut'Jass manufacturers I whoso employees aro now on strike, would not meet or confer with a I committee of their employees In or- der to come to some settlement whereby the men now on strike could go to work. We take this occasion to Inform the public that we have on two different occasions met n com mittee of our employees, Including the organizer, Mr. Luckock. We have at both meetings gone over thu situation thoroughly, and this firm has granted all the demands made upon them, with the exception of the closed shop, which will not be granted under any circumstances. We havo information that n large majority or the good and satisfied employees are anxious to resume work, but are be ing influenced to hold out until the demand for a closed shop is granted. The result of our endeavors to ter minate the present trouble by meet ing their demands more than half way is not encouraging, as wo havo Mr. Luckock's refusal, unless a con tract Is signed for a closed shop. We are sure we have done our part in trying to adjust this trouble, and by publicly announcing what we have done, we feel we have dealt justly with the business people of our town. We might also add, that It our offer of adjustment Is not accept ed soon, by the men, we will fill their places with apprentices and journeymen, who have applied to us for work, and whom we have hesi tated to put on, hoping the trouble could be adjusted. We will expect the co-operation of our city officials, to protect in every way those who wish to assert their right to inde pendence, nnd sell their labor where they like, and to whom they like, and not be controlled by nny faction or organization, which takes away their personal liberty and Independ ence.

Gllman of thnt city. "Little of the city protruded above the snow during tho past winter, though sunshine and heavy rains combined to keep tho average depth about fifteen feet. Valdez presented a peculiar sight during tho winter. Stovepipes and chimneys were just visible above the top of the snow, and entrances to the stores and houses wore made by tunnols through tho snow. All the business affairs had to be carried on by electric light, which was burned all winter, day and night. Hotels and boarding houses wero crowded with miners waiting to start for the tnland min ing districts over the Fairbanks trail. "A largo number of miners went over tho Fairbanks trail during the past year to claims in tho interior of Alaska. Along this trail there nro comfortable road houses every ten miles or so, and thero are none of the hardships that wero tho por tion of tho earlier prospectors before tho trail was established.
