These examinations will determine who are to ascend to higher grades next year and who are to enter the high sehool at the opening of the fall term. There is every indication that th age of correct answers in the seve inations will be larger this those of one year ago. It also 1 that there will be a large number of accessions to the school on the hill than has ever been expericnced in- the educational his- and s the perecnt- Al exa ar - than toxy of this city Such being case, the teachers doubtless feel that they have well done their work, and, if vacation idered as an award for mer no one will be grudge the cn th pleasure and recreation which they may de- rive from it. Twenty Teachers. During the past school year thirty-eight public schools have been in operation in this city, 255 teachers have been employed in teachinig 13,000 pupils. - Last June 265 teachers were engaged, so that there is now twenty more than last year. This indicates an incredse of twenty rooms in the schools and of 00 pupils during the year. Superintendent James says that Omaha population is more stable than it has ever been before, this being shown by the in- crease in the daily average attendunce. LONG SCHOOL, What It Was and What It Has Ac complished. ight years ago when the members of the bourd of education located the Long school building at the corner of Twenty h and Franklin streets the site was far out in the country, with only a few settlers in the vicin- ty. An cight room brick structure was erected and the first term of schiool after its completion, three rooms were oceupied by the aht children of the district, many of whom w compelled to walk a mile or more in order to reach the school. People laughed at the idea of having the building so remotely situnted from the center of popula tion of the distri and for a time the subject of teaving the school house down and erecting it farther down town was seriously consid- ercd, but not for any long period of time, at the second term of school the attendance had nearly doubled and before the end of the first school year four of the rcoms were oceu- pied. The next season the north part of the city caught the boom fever and before the opening of the fall terw, provisions we made for oceupying all of the rooms, t was an immens thivd of all the territo- xtending from Paul ¥ limits on the rto the city limits containing nea ry included in the street on th north, and f on the west. ¢ ony m the i The next year after the opening of the school, the board commenced making inroads by the organization of new its borders, but notwith- chment and the fact that View, Saratoga, Central Park und Shef listricts have been carved out of thet that was at onoetime a part of that belonging to the Long school, it s still one of the largest in the city, having had an_envollment of 858 pupils during the st school year, of which number 402 were and 456 girls. The population of the district is composed largely of machinists and mechanics, a_gr upon its territor districts within standing this enc the Lake, Omala any of whom are employed in the Union Pacific shops, living in the vicinity and owning their’ houscs, This statement is e out by the statiscties now being pre- . by the secretary of the bourd of edu- n, which, when completed, will show of the children in attendance at the school, I3 ure those of mechunics and nists, 136 are those of builders and con- fucty are those of laborers, while children of merchants, clerks, binkers, ete.

The Guild rooms of the Episcopal church on the north sido of Franklin street, opposite the school building, were rented and fitted up, but they would not atcommodate the large number of ~emspupils. Then @ room in the basement was used und here, for ten months, in a small, durk, foulsmelling and badly-ventilated roon, into which & ray of sunshine has never found its way, forty-five children bave pon dered over their books learning their first lessons and laying the foundation for dis- ease. This additional room was not enough 50 cight months ago, & small dwelling house onthe southeast corner of the block was rented, the partitions torn out und the build- ing fitted for w school roow, but as such it is disgrace to the name. There fifty pupils have been crowded into a little 12x14 voom, | cheerless and inconvenient In this school the subject of discipline has oceupied a great deal of considevation, and it can truthfully be said that the order in the Leng school {s as good, if not better than in any other school in the city.

In the engagement of Mr. B, H. Sothren, which begins Monday evening at Boyd's opera house, will bo seen an excellent exam- vle of that refined yet highly amusing comedy which has of late years bocome so popualr with the greater portion of regular theater- goers, and which is destined at an early date to supplant the boisterous methods of the or- dinary farce comedy. Both of Mr. Sothern's plays are favorably known here from his former visit, and though many look upon his “Lord Clumley" as his best work, there aro others who claim that his “Highest Bidder” calls for more artistic effort. Yet itis as Lord Clumley that he is best known, With it he is almost as thoroughly identified as was father with Lord Dundreary. There is in ord Chumley” some suggestion of the r Sothern's play, for in it two unbred Americans give their ideas of a few English types, while in the other play an Englishman presents his conception of American character, The result in both cases partakes some- what of the nature of ‘a caricature. There are ohanges in Mr. Sothern's company since his-former visit here, but it is the same as appeared at the New York Lyceum theater engagement. By the sudden death of C. B Bishop, who was engaged for this season, the principal supporting comedy work was given to Rowland Bucksto son of the veteran comedian of London, J. B. Buckstone, under whose tuition he was for many years, Miss Charlotte Tittell, now the g lady, is a new comer from the Pacific coast, where she hag been well known for som ime. Miss Miffid Adams, who has stood at the head of enstern ingennes sinee her charming per- formance in Hoyt's “Midnight Belle,”" plays the part of Jessie Deane, of which she was the orfginal in Lord Chumley, although she was not with the company upon its last visit Walter Craven, lately from Australia, plays the heavy villain. The order of the perforin- ance will be “Lord Chumley” Monday and Tuesday nights and *“The Highest Bidder” Wednesday night cnly Commencing next Thursday eyening, for three nights and a matince, at” Boyd's opera house, Bronson Howard's ‘*Shenandoah” will be presented with the entire oviginal cast, scenery and accessorios. This will put the play in quite a different light, for its weak- ness before was in the people who played it 1ts great success has so far shown no signs of weakening, and in New York, after its long run of 300 nights, it ended with a demonstra- tion which was hever accorded to any pl Bronson Howard has handled his Subj with consumate skill, He treats it in o way that can offend neither the most bigoted northerner nor the most hot-headed south- erner, and yet he gives a strong war picture and a graphic account of the times he deals with. “There is no attempt at a realistic pic- ture of the carnage of battle; on the contrary the fight is always off the stage, and yet is so clev uggested that it is infinitely more effective than the presence of any num- ber of uniform supes or thundering can- non could make it. The love stories which open in the fivst act and are carried in nittingly through the sccond and thira to close happily 1n the fourth, are charm- 1z in themselves, and form a bright, pretty setting to the sombre picture of war. Com- edy also throws an ugreeable side light on the play, and “*Shenandosh” is all the more ac- ceptable for the chavucter of Sergeant Bar- ket.

A picture of a magnificent body of men in Prince Albert coats and grey'beards explains to some extent the existenco of the Veteran Fireman's association of the city of Omaha, This organization is a picture of the vet- eran fireman's association of New York. Everyone remembers that company's trium- phal progress across the continent some three years ;3 their bLeautiful and re- Juvenated hand engine; their geniality and marvellous capacity for enjoying themselyes ; their martial appcarance; how they were feted and toasted and applauded in every city of extent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and how among all the receptions they thought of uone more highly than that of Omaha, These New York veterans carried Omaha storm. Their visit was a continued ion, to be forgotten by the as was testified in the ‘sending of the picture accompanied by the letter of thanks. famous band was with the New Yorkers on that occasion and made such music as the streets of Omaha have seldom echoed. On the day of their departure they fairly rattled the windows with their music and at the de- fot platform played and played till the isteners began to wonder if there was 1o end to their repertoire, All this had a reminiscent effect on the Omaha veterans and induced them to count noses, Many places in the Dalby's ranks of the volunteer departiment were vacant. Many were scat tered to the four corners of the'carth and many had gone to their long home, but still a £0d nay remained, 1t would not be a bad idea, they thought ger together once in a while and live o again the good old days, which are not so very far in the pasc, when they had their parades, banquets and exhibition runs, Accordingly, the veteran sociation was organized, the de foster and perpetuate the fr and relations which existed members of the old volunt and in furtherance of this object to n suitable headquarters for its members, Any person of good moral character, who has served in the fire department, who was in good standing at the date of its disdand- ment and 1 for five y is eligible for membership in the association.

Wheat rust is caused kinds of minute fungi, leaves and stems, growing for a time in th interior of the wheat and finally breaking out in the well known rust 2. The “red rust” of the harvesting period | 18 oue stage of the same fungus, which later by two attuck the or more which pots in the season fs the “black rust." Tho frst does not last long, but tho socond lasts oves winter upon the steaw, 8. One of the rusts on whoeat lives for & time on tho barborry, producing o yellowishe red rust upon the leaves in early spring. This hus been madoe out to a certainty, but it is puzzling to know what takes place’ {n this westorn country whore the barberey is g to such a limited extent, 4. Tt hus been sugiestod yellowish-red rust oceurring on the leaves of ash trees may have somo connection with ono of the wheat rusts, It will be well for farm- ors to wateh very closely and sce wheat rust is more abundant around or near ash treos, Tn this case it is necossary that o careful note be made 48 to the presence or ubsence of rust ot the ash leaves also, 5. Tt has been sugizsted that may be propagated in last year's rust on the straw. Lot farmers notice whether there s more or less wheat rust in flelds which were fn wheat last yoar, also whether straw has been scattervd. 1. wn that possibly the wheat rust. the spring from tho will be well, also, to noto whother there 18- more or loss rust upon fields which were burned over before plowing for the present eropy . The influence of favorable weather (dampness with a high tomperature) is well known. Such weathe does 1t make rusty it merely helps it to de volop. Justas in the case of weeds; the weather does not make weeds, it merely aids the sceds which aros already in the ground to grow rapidly into weeds i hot When rust appears in damp w weather, do not lay it all to the weather, but. look about for the real causg, Note carcfully any rusts upon weeds, bushcs or trees in- the- near vieinity. 7. It is thought that wheat rust is less com- mon in the newer parts of the stato where wheat has not been much grown, Is this true! Is it true that wheat rust increases as the country becomes oldert 8 Is wheat rust less severe upon new ground or upon ground which hus been ine corn or some other crop for o series of yearst 0. 1 wish to get_concise statements ‘as o the foregoing matters or others which may suggest themselves to the practical grower of wheat.
