The Commencement exercises of
\fiie Worthington High School were
held Friday evening in the Presby­
terian church and that spacious
edifice was crowded to the doors.
A section of seats had been reserved
in front for the relatives of the
graduates, the teachers and
members of the high1 school. The
church was tastefully decorated
with flowers and class and school
colors.
The exercises were opened by in
vocaion by Rev. G. A. Cahoon.
This was followed by a song
entitled "Hark, Hear the Billows
Roll," rendered very acceptably by
the High School Chorus. The com­
mencement address waadeli veied
by President W. S. Lewis of Morn
ingside College of Sioux City, and
was of masterly effort. He took
as is theme "The Problems of To­
morrow," and he presented in
forceful manner a number of
thoughts, valuable to the graduat­
ing class as well as all who heard
him. He emphasized the necessity
of acquiring a knowledge of funda­
mental truths, and warned his
hearers against mistaking incidental
truth for fundamental and making
too much of them.
The address was followed by a
vocal solo by Mr. James Mackay,
rendered in a delightful manner.
The presentation of diplomas was
made by Mr. G. W. Patterson,
president of the Board of Education,
who in this connection delivered a
well prepared address.
The closing number was the song
"Good Night, Good Night,"
rendered by the High School
Chorus.
DOG AND BIRD CIRCUS.
A Star Attraction Secured for the
Worthington Chautauqua
Assembly.
One of the chief attractions in the
•entertainment line provided for the!
Chautauqua Assembly is Prof.
Pamahasika's bird and dog circus.
This is one of the most pleasing
SH®%av^
Plan to Come to the Chautauqua As
ESTHER.
This Beautiful Sacred Cantata was
Rendered at the Presbyterian
Church Sunday Evening.
Pronounced the Best Musical En­
tertainment Ever Presented
in Worthington.
What was unqualifiedly pro­
nounced the best musical entertain­
ment ever presented in Worthingtitn
by either professional or amateur
organizations was the sacred can­
tata "Esther", presented Sunday
evening at the Presbyterian church
by local singers, under the direction
of Mr. Jas. Mackay who trained the
large chorus for the work. To say
it was "the best" expresses bat
faintly the appreciation of all
present, and the house'was packed
to the doors, while many stood out
side to listen. This cantata is one
of rare beauty and very difficult,
but every part was handled master­
fully. The work of Mrs. A. E.
Hart was especially pleasing.
The following is the synopsis of
the concert as presented:
Brief History of Esther, by Rev.
Edwin W. Lanham.
Chorus, Greeting to Hainan.
Solo and Chorus, Plot Against
Mordecai
Hainan's Appeal to the King.
Prophetess* Warning
Solo and Chorus, Lament of the
Jews.
Duet and Chorus, Appeal to
Esther to Intercede with the King.
Solo and Chorus, Prayer for Suc­
cess.
Chorus, Comfort from God's
.Word. ,.
Male and Female Chorus, Tribute
to King and Queeii.
Solo, Trio and Chorus, Leresh
Reasoning.
Intermission. Continuation of
the Narrative by the Pastor.
Free will ottering for Benefit of
Choir Fund.
Haman's Fall and General Rejoic­
ing.
Confidence in ud.
Chcrus, Rejoicing.
Quartette, Too Good to be True.
Chorale, Praise and Thanksgiving
to God.
Benediction.
The credit for the efficient train­
ing of the company and succeessful
presentation of-the cantata belongs
to Mr. Jas. Mackay. His ability as'
a choir leader has long been well
establised, but this last performance
adds along plume to his cap. Of
course he had good material to work
with, but had his work not been so
thorough the result would have
been different.
and unique entertainments before
the public today. All of the best
Chautauquas seoured them, and the
Worthington Association has been
especially fortunate in securing this
attraction. It is a novelty, no one
should fail to see and hear them.
It is not a high class lecture nor is
it a delightful concert, Dut it is the
best of its kind, and is all right. If
birds and dogs can be trained to do
marvelous things why should we
not delight in looking at them.

way the piece was discharged and
the bullet entered the childs head
above the left eye and came out at
the top of the head. Drs. Dolan
and Manson were summoned and
they worked over the little one
late, and when they left the
child was ih a critical condition.
Dr.Dolan went out again Wednes­
day morning, when he found the
child
resting easy, and at last report
the little one was getting alon as
well as could be expected. It is
another case of not knowing the
gun was loaded.
Cantata Company Banquetted.

Presbyterian church parlors to the
ladies and gentlemen who took part
