SIX MEMBERS OF THIS YEARS' CLASS mas Presented by Superintendent Rothert of lowa School, W (2 iments the Pupils on Thelr Progress. The chapel of the Nebraska school for the Deaf, Forty-fifth street and Boulevard, was taxed to its utmost yesterday after- noom, to accommodate the arents and friends of the puplls who assembled fo witness the annual commencement exer- cises of the institution. On every hand there was evidence of the skill of the classes in the decoration of the chapel, while the bright faces of the young people attested the Interest they felt In the annual exhibition of their handiwork and other progress. The exercises opemed at 2:30 o'clock with the invocation by Rev. J. M. Ross, followed by a sign song, Lead Kindly Light,” given in the sign language by six young women and sung by ome of the teachers. Throughout the program the members were interpreted by some of the teachers, though their expressive presen- tation rendered their meaning quite evi- dent. An essay, “My Walk to School,” by Miss Maude Sweifel, was the next num- ber given in the sign language and an ora- tion, “Willlam McKinley,” by Mr. Dean Smock, illustrated the progress made in teaching the deaf to talk. The proficiency of the younger children in lip reading was shown in oral recitations by two of the cl & declamation by Miss Hattle Ren and an essay by Miss Hester Willman, following. An art test by one of the art classes was another bright teature of the program, six of the puplils exhibiting their skill at off-hand drawing with crayons. A one-act farce, presented in pantomime by the members of one class, was another creditable feature. Names of the Graduates. In an essay, “The American Woman Miss Mary Smarth, the valedictorian, pre- sented the high ideals of the young women of the graduating class and spoke their farewell to the school, the graduates being Misses Hester Willman of Nebraska City, Maude Marshall of Lincoln, Maude Zweitel of Omaha, Clara Truhler of Coleridge, Mary Smarth of Milligan and Dean Smock of Lin- coln. It had been expected that Governor Bav- age would present the diplomas, but in his unavoidable absence H. W. Rothert, s perintendent of the Iowa School for the Deat at Council Bluffs, made the addres: He spoke most highly of the afternoon's program, congratulating the teachers and officers of the institution upon thelr work, which he said was generally recognized for its excellence. His address was brief, being interpreted by Superintendent R. E. Stewart, and after the presentation of the diplomas the exercises closed with the sign song, “Home of the Boul,” by the girls of the graduating class. Previous to the afternoon exercises the members of the board of trustees, Clinton H. Orcutt of Omaha, Charles Nowrks of Papillion and C. G. Elwanger of Nebraska City, held a meeting, the only thing aside from the routine business being sheir de- clsion that all pupils boarding at the in- stitution should be governed by the same gule regarding visiting their homes whether they lived in the vicinity or not, this action being taken to pratect the institution against contagion. After the program another meeting was held for the appointment of teachers for the coming year, and while the number s to be increased no announcements are to be made for some time. ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIMSELF Nebraska City Man Quarrels with His Wite and Attemp: End His Life. to NEBRASKA OITY, June 10.—(Special Telegram.)—Fred Blunt, a rallroad man from Plattsmouth, tried to end his life late Iast evening by shooting himself through the left breast with a 32-caliber revolver. He came to this city yesterday and went to call upon his wife, from whom he had been separated for some time on account of alleged cruelties and, being refused admit- tance, he asked to see his child. This re- quest aleo was refused. He seemed much depressed at the action of his wife's family, and about 4 o'clock he went to the home of David Hill, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Blunt, and threw a note into the yard, announcing his intention of committing sulcide. The note was com- municated to the police, who made a faith- ful, though, unsuccessful search for the man. Later in the evening Blunt returned to & point just in front of the Hill home and fired the shot that was intended to end 1. The buliet entered the breast, but struck & rib and was diverted from Its course toward the heart-and lodged in the apex of the left lung, where it now is. The man does not seem to want to get well and says that there is nothing now for him to live for. He complains most bitterly of the treatment he has received at the hands of his wife's family, who have, he says, done everything in thelr power to estrange his wife ever since his marriage. T. K. Wooster, the father of Mrs. Blunt, says that she w forced to leave Blunt because of the excessive cruelty with which be is In the habit of treating her. Blunt was carried to the Cincinnati house, where everything possible is being done for him, but in his present mood it is doubtful if he recovers.

SUPERIOR, Neb., June 10.—(Special.)— Agricultural conditions in this portion of the Republican valley have not been as promising for several years as they are just mow. It is & common remark that more has been raised already this season than was produced all last year. Hay, on which there was a fearful short- age last year, will be abundant. Much of the first crop of alfalfa has been harvested and some of it is being marketed, with the result that the price has dropped from $11.50 per ton to $5. The acreage of wheat in this section is fully 16 per cent more than has ever been known. During the dry, hot weather of April many farmers became discouraged over the outlook for wheat and plowed it up for corn. Nearly 35 per cent of the acreage suffered this fate, and fully 20 per cent of the oats. But the large re- maining screage of wheat will, upon the average, make twelve bushels to the acre of the plumpest of grain. Some few flelds will run as high as twenty ‘bushels. Well posted gralnmen place the oats average at sbout twenty-eight bushels per acre. Early planted cern is knee high and is getting all the moisture and heat that it requires for fast growing. Kafir corn and cane are growing rapidly. There will be no peaches to speak of, and very few cherries. Potatoes give promiss of an immense yleld and more of them Bave been planted than usual.
