Mary E. Sellen lectured in Tierney 's hall. She touched upon several subjects—mental philos- ophy, Christian science, psychol- ogy, astrology. Theosophy, and the seventh and eighth senses. She dwelt more fully upon the sixth sense, practical knowledge on how to grow young: marriage, pre -natal 'culture, - the art of right thinking, relaxation and self-con- trol, and sonic new thought ideas. All the ladies who listened to the lecture seemed well pleased and felt well paid for being pres- ent. ONE WHO ATTENDED. HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY. Two hundred and forty volumes of the High School library have been removed to the county super- intendent's office.

She reports a pleasant trip. Found a good school at Diamond under the instruction of Irene Wells. Did not see much change in White Sulphur Springs since last there sixteen years ago. Found records of Meagher county of the year 1866, when G. A. Hampton was both assessor and school super- intendent. From every eight to ten years there seems to have been a mania for the redistricting of nearly all the school districts. This is true of 1876, 1884, 1893, and within the past year the su- perintendent and commissioners of NI eagher county have fixed the beat as one. Mrs. Tinsley and boundaries and a man was en W t° m.

This newspaper calls attention to the announcement of the Ad- ventists, the people tvlio are to labor with us for the bettering of humanity and the salvation Of souls. This is a commendable work. You may not agree with them in the details, hut touching the fundamental principle, the foundation, we all agree. We are all striving har the same end. We are all marching to the same fate, that is if we are Christians. This newspaper does not believe that a man must be a Baptist or a ethodist or a Presbyterian to he saved, but we all agree ttn.t he must believe in Christ and accept lim to the rejection of all others. So we can come together on the central idea and work together for the uplifting of the cause of Chris- tianity and the salvation Cr: the world.

GILHAM EN- TERTAIN. - After the graduating exercises on Thursday evening, in honor of the graduating class Dr. and Mrs. Gilliam gave a grand reception at their beautiful home on the south side. The Doctor and his charm- ing - wife are pronounced leaders in social circles and all events pulled off at the Gilham home bears the impress of royalty. The editor tried to estimate the num- ber of people present, but it seemed impossible—every room in that spacious and magnificent home was filled with people who all seemed to be in the midst of a good time. Music was furnished by the orchestra. Booker T. Washington was impersonated by one of Townsend's young men, who made a rousing address to the graduates and in behalf of Miss DeCamp presented each stn - dent with a beautiful picture. Games were played and deli- cious refreshments were served in superfluous abundance. Soon after midnight the guests depart- ed feeling that they had been roy- ally entertained. 00 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Ranchers, bring your eggs.

BACCALAUREATE. ----- On last Tuesday evening Dr. Reed of Bozeman delivered the baccalaureate sermon to a fair au- dience in the Auditorium. Dr. Reed was introduced by Rev. G. C. Beery and was given quite an ovation when he appeared on the stage. The music of the evening, which was excellent, was fur- nished by Miss Foster and the male quartet, consisting of Alva McCormick, Fred Averill, J. A. Mathews and Rev. Beery.
