A few weeks ago his health was much improved, and on election day he felt himself able to walk to the polls and cast his first ballot. The effort was an unwise one, bringing on a relapse which ended in death. The deceased lacked less than a month of being 22 years of age. He was conscientious in his habits, and in many ways an excellent young man. In 1886 he graduated from the High school, and since that time has had positions with J. T. Royse and Oskar Duenweg. The funeral occurred from the family residence, 1017 north Seventh, yesterday afternoon, and the remains were interred at Highland Lawn cemetery.

Judge McNutt, Judge Pierce and others listened to all the boy had to say, and when his narrative developed that his one crime consisted in running away from home •Judge. MoNutt casually remarked that such a crime wasa uoi"*'» ^tTeTo seeuretnib way out of sending the child to the reform school when Judge Pierce announced he would And a home for him if the court would sot him free. This Judge Mack was glad to do, and doubled the pleasure of the occasion by presenting the little fello^ with money to get anew suit of clothes and a hat

On several recent occasions the Polytechnic boys havo been out in full force, demonstrating to a very decided degree their ability for making noise. Each time their hurrahing has been peculiarly rythmetical, yet of such a complicated charactor that few hearers could decipher what they were tr\ ing to say. Inquiry into the affair developed the gratifying information that the yells were class calls, and further questioning brought out the fact that rivalry for superiorly in yelling was largely the cause for so much noise. Each of the classes in the Polytechnic Institute with tho exception of the Senior, has a class call. The Junior yell is the oldest, and although it has partially fallen into disuso, it is occasionally heard. It is:

Ninety-one 1Johny yet your gun. Chippy get your hair cut, Ninety-one The Sophomore call is next in order, and is as follows:

Waxco, waseo, wnxco, wax, T-r' ol'tz—oltlz—olit7.
