On Monday evening in the gymnasium I
the annual claas clay exercises took place,
and the room was all too small to accom

for admission. The class of 1905. con
sisting of Beatrice Rule, Maud Bennii,
Eva Cameron, Florence Bunt, Fannie
Gilmore, Helena O'Rourke, Julia Reed
and May Krout. hail full charge of the
exercises, and the different numbers were
of exceptional merit and most excellently J
rendered. To individualize each number J
and review at length the performance 1
would become a great task .suffice it to say
that there were no weak points in tbe
evening's entertainment. This cl*** of
eight girls has established an enviable
record for thoroughness in their school
work and reflect great credit upon tbe
school system of this city.
Tuesday evening in tbe gymnasium
fully as large a crowd greeted the exer

grade, who paw into their senior year at
tbe opening of school in the fall. The
merit of this entertainment *as fully

One of the most delightful events of
tbe week was the class play, "The Prin
cess," rendered by the members of the
graduating class on Wednesday evening
st the opera bouse. All tbe available
space was occupied ai:d many were
turned away being unable to secure even •
standing room. The play was cast as
follows:
Th« Princess Beed
The Prince Maud Btrwt j
Cyril ...... Florence Bunt :
Fturtan Helena O Hourke
Lady Psyche May Krout j
Lady Blanche Eva Cameron
Melissa Beatrice Hule
King Gama Fannie Gilmore
Each and every participant acquitted
herselt with credit, the whole making up i
a most enjoyable presentation of a de
lightful drama. The fatgh school orches
tra and a trained chorus, together with ;
several specialties contributed materially •
to the success of the program. The enter- j
r tainment was in the hands of Professor 1
Potter, aided by Prof. Neupert and Mtsa
Weaver, all of whom have worked several
weeks untiringly to accomplish tbe prop
er presentation. It is seldom if ever that
amateurs have scored the success as have
these young people, and they are cer
tainly entitled to great praise and credit
for the admirable manner in which they
acquitted themselves.
The events of the busy school week
culminated in the commencement exer
cises in the opera house Thursday even
ing, and Again the bouse was taxed to its
utmost capacity to accommodate the
patrons who desired to witness the clos
ing exercises. The high school orchestra
sustained its well earned enviable repu
tat ion in tbe rendition of the oveiture
"Zenda,” by Witmark, and the applause
which greeted them was spontaneous and
well deserved, and they were repeatedly
encored. After tbe invocation by Rev.
O. L. Orton, Oscar Anderson, in bis usual
excellent manner played a violin solo,
**Tyrolienne/* by Alard, and in response
to the prolonged applause rendered a
second number. Tbe young man shows
rare musical ability, and certainly has a
brilliant future before him.
Tbe commencement address was de
livered by Dr. Herman Fleck, of the
Colorado State School of Mines, taking
for bis topic the higher education of
women. The speaker was happy in his
Address, and in well-rounded sentences
wdted the advantages to be seined by
Idaho Springs Siftings.
higher education, not alone for mind
I improvement and self satisfaction, but
also from a pecuniary standpoint. His
remarks to the graduates relative to tbe
attainment of higher ideals along educa
tional lines were happy in thought and
expression, and the closest attention was
given tbe speaker throughout his address.
A vocal solo, "Good Night, I Attic
Girl, Good Night," was rendered by
Mias Bertha Gardner in a most pleasing
manner, giving an additional number in
response to repeated calls. Tbe young
lady was in excellent voice and her num
bers contributed very materially to the
! evemug's enjoyment.
| In the absence of President John G.
j Roberts, of the school board, Mrs. M. A.

j words of praise and encouragement to
! the graduates, presenting each with their
diplomas as a reward for years of toil in
the school room, fitting themselves for
their life’s work.

IDAHO SPRINGS. COLO., J>ATURD AY, MAY 27, 1905.
A Commendab|e Enterprise
There is perhaps no greater activity
in any line than is evident in the mineral
water industry, and tbe Blue Ribbon
company has given to the city a most
commendable enterprise. Tbe Blue
Ribbon springs were discovered by ac
cident several years ago by miners
while drifting on a mineral vein. The
owners at once detected its medicinal
properties and decided that the possi
bilities were greater than even mining
and with this point in view, all efforts
were bent toward developing the prop
with the result that ted ay the company
has one of tbe moat complete bottling
establishments in the country and a
never failing source of water supply, the
quality of which is recognized as super
| ior to that of any other mineral water
found in tbe country.
The adaptability of water for bottling
in all forms of carbonated beverages, is a
virtue possessed by but a few mineral
waters. A great number of the beat
known brands must be diluted and sub
j cted to many changes in order to
eliminate objectionable elements which
make the discolorations in the bottles
and render it necessary to add neutral
ization acids and non mineral water in
sufficient quantity tn order to make the
j out put marketable. In the case of tbe
Blue Ribbon »ater, it is bottled directly
I from the springs, mother Nature in her
labrator> furnishing all of tbe ingred
ients in exact proportions to give her
children the healing tonic. No aid
to Nature is required in its preparation,
preparatory to use, being aimply charged
under high pressure in order to preserve
its purity. lu tbe manufacture of all
carbonated beverages such as ginger
ale, orange cider and many of the hun
dreds of soft drinks which are so pop
ular with the American people, all that
is added to it is simply the flavor and
the carbonic acid gas.
Realizing the immense jx fusibilities of
the Springs, as well aa the good profits
to be derived from placing the water 00
the market, a company was formed
Some time ago to carry out on a com
mercia! scale the introduction of health
giving water. The owners of tbe prop
erty were far-sighted • wo ugh to ask fifcMg
once tbe water was tried its merit slone
would place it in the front rank of all
medicinal waters, and reimburse many
fold those interested in its promotion,
assuring to them abundant recompense
for the limited amount of financial in
vestment necessary to place the product
before the public. With commendable
caution the original promoters of the
enterprise consulted with the most emi
nent chemists of ths country, and had
searching teats made of the water, and
in every instance the scientific men de
clared that the Blue Ribbon waters po
st-sued unrqualed mineral elements and i
curative properties, and was far superior
to any known to exist.
With this unassailable evidence ol
merit the promoters had no hesitancy
whatever in not only investing of their
own means, but of asking tbe public to
assist in bringing the proposition to a ,
state of perfection, and to this end a
company was formed being known a*

Death of Popular Hotelman.
James W. Rickard, for many years
proprietor of the Cliff hotel in this city,
died at his home Monday evening, after
a lingering illness. A year ago Mr.
Rickard t>egan failing and the disease
made such progress that since last Oct
ober he was obliged to remain in bed.
Although hopes were entertained for
his recovery, recently a turn for the
worst was not unexpected. Mrs. Rick
ard is prostrated, and in poor health,
caused by the constant attention through
out the long illness.
Mr. Rickard was born in 1849 and
came to Colorado in 1879 locating in
this city some ten years later, where he
has since resided. He is survived by a
wife and a married daughter, Mrs. A. J.

NATURAL ADVANTAGES STRONGLyJAP
PEAL TO DENVER SCHOOL BOYS.
There is perhaps no better way of ex
pending money, aside from newspaper
advertising, than in a brass band, and
more especially when the latter organiza
tion possesses superior merit and can at
all times respond to demands for its ser
vices. Plans are now on foot in this city,
having for its purpose the organization of
a band which will equal, if not excel, the
famous L owboy Hand which has gained
enviable notoriety from coast to coast, as
the leader of that organization is in this
city jierfeeting an organization with the
best chances of success. The first meet
ing of those interested in the enterprise
was held at the firemen’s hall on Wed
nesday evening, at which time Jack
Sinclair, who for many years was at
the head of the cowboy organization,
announced his intention of becoming a
citizen of Idaho Springs for the pnr|x>se
of organizing a hand, and should projwr
encouragement be given him, guarantees
to furnish uniforms and music aud place
this city in tile fore front through this
medium. The circulation of a petition
seeking tbe name, of those who would
give theft time aud talents to such a prop
osition revealed the fact that this city is
thoroughly alive to the opportunity, and
the following named musicians have
agreed to devote their time and uioney to
gam tbi. end:
f. 1.. Itdl, Cbas. Cochrane, It. D.
Woolley, J. p. Clayton, L. K. Shelp, Ed.

I.on Roberts, M. R. James, W T. Lamb,
Prank Thompson. Hen Martelon, Fred
KUis. Fred. Comstock, George Moscript
and E. S. Giles.
In Silditton to these, twenty members
of the old hand organization have sig
nffied their willingness to unite their
efforts with the new reeruils to promote
the enterprise
It is now tbe purpose of Sinclair to
form both junior and senior classes and
the best of these will Ire U-.d on public
occasions, ami it is confidently exjrected
that this city will have the b-st musical
organization of any in the state in
point of proficiency To give further
encouragement to the band, individual
members will solicit aid from the ettt
Zens, who will la. known as honorary
members, and it is now rncumlwnt upon
our citizens to give every encouragement.
At a meeting of the band hel l at the
i fire hall last evening, at which a half
■ hundred were present, thr organization
j was perfected by the election of the
following officers: John T. Mali,.lieu,
j president; Fred Stroehle, secretary*
treasurer; H I. Robinson, manager,
Harry Covert, aaaisiant manager; Jatk
Sinclair, instructor. Active practice
will liegm next week and it is expected
that within a months time, the organ
ization will he ready fortn- weekly o>a-n
air concerts. A sufficient fund has been
j guarante- d hy tile citizens to insure th,
success of the enterprise.
Denver Cadets Select Idaho Springs
