So far as known no damage was done, but the fact that the frost came 80 near the middie of August and that there ‘was no telling what it might do in the course of & week or two tended to make people feol somewhat uneasy. The bar docket for the September term of the district court was sent to the printer crday. It will not be 50 large as usual en printed, although there have been more trial notices filed than is usually the e, The smalluess of tho docket 18 accounted for by the fact that Judge Deemer ran his blue pencil through over four hundred cases that have becn cumberihg the pages of the docket for years past, and the result is that about a hundred pages of the docket will be done away with, Justice Swearingen decided the case of Sam Shanklen last ovening, cnarged with disturbing religious worship, by discharging the aefendant.

Constable Nicholson had the warrant in his possession, but Kane got wind of the fact and skipped. Ha found & man named John Smith who was driving to Omaba, and nduced hun_ to cover him up with the hay that lay in the bottom of the wagon and take himto Omana. The result was that Kane got to Omaba without being seen. The story of his escape leaked out, nowever, and yesterday Smith was arrested by Nicholson ‘on the charge of conspiracy. He was put in jail, where he still lies, Coustablo Nicholson went to Omaba yes- terday to arrost Kane, but failed to find him, He will probabiy be located in the course of few days and brought in to stand a trial on the charge of grand larcony, Ho, for Creston, 1f you are fond of Fine cattle, Fino horses, attend the Blue ton, Towa.

SCHOLARS WILL HAVE TO LEARN ENGLISH, No Stab at the Classics, But O 1y a Desire to Teach the Pupils Their Mother Tongue. The annual report of Superintendent Sawyer of the public sohools, which was submitted to the board at its last meeting, contains many suggestions along the line of education which will be of interest to the public. One of the most voteworthy of his statements is the following: “Tho basis of pubiic insiruction in the high schools of evory country must by ths ability to acourately speak and write the lauguage spoken by the people of that coun- try. Conforming to this idea, the require- meut is now made that all pupils in the Council Bluffs high school are henceforth to complete the course in Euglish composition, whether they pursue the business, the Eng- lish or the classical course. Let noone say this 13 u stab at either Germau or Latin Either of these languages is vastly purer and more consistont than the Euglish, but the question is not one of purity or strength: it is simply whether Engiish or some foreiga language should be made the basis of in struction in a land of English speaking people.” He nlso refers to the success ot his scneme to do mway with written examinations as a basis for promotios. The parents, teachers and pupils, he have all been led to testify to the beneficial results of the change from the fact it has done away with much of the nervous strain that was caused by the approach of the examiuations under the old plan, and there is no doubt that the present system is a fairer one than that where promotion depends unou the correct- ness of the answer to ten questions. The teachors also state that since the change was made the character of daily recitations has been higher than before. Healludes to the old maxim, “A sound mind in a sound body,” and recommends that the board introduce ymnustic exercises as a required part of the school work three days in a week, as he considers the pbysical quite as importaut us the intellectual development of the child lifo, Prof, Sawyer's remarks upon the subject of moral traming are worthy of reproduction verbatim, He sovs: “One of the prime duties of the public school is effective moral instruction. The exparience of school men in all ages has been that mere intellectual traming, without a correspouding development of — the moral nature, does not fit boys aud girls for prac- tical life. Many of the world’s brightest intellects have been steeped in crime. To insure the highest good and meet the demands of the public, the moral nature must be cultivated along with the in- tellectual man. The present course of study recognizes this obligation, and the course of morals and manners introduced by Dr. E. E. White into the Cincinnati schools is the base of instruction. As indicating the character of the work, five of the twenty-six subjects are presented, viz: Cleanlinéss and neat- ness, politeness, kindness, truthfulness, honor.” He calls attention to the fact that less than 20 per cent of the graduates from the public schools are boys and traces it to its several causes—some dropping out to engage in busi- ness, others imugining they are overcome by a feeling of weariness, He thinks “‘most of the boys who drop out from these causes sow the seeds of desertion when they become mght scholars. At first they goupon the streets only occasionally, and witnno thought of wrong, but onco sturted upon a downward course evorything seemed greased for tho occasion, and ere long they turn their backs upon the school, infatuated by the idea that they are men, and in various pursuits begin a struggle for existence for which they are ill-prepared. When parents of ordinary in. telligence and refinement first discover that their sous are roving the streets night after night they try to check the evii by commanding the young scions to stay at home, Such commands avail nothing. The philosophy of the unsuc- cessful training of boys consists, not in issu- ing orders about staying at home, but in pro- viding that home with games aod other smusements that will make it niore attrac- tive than the stroet. For that class of boys who are dissatisfied with the present high school course itis suggested thata brief course in stenograpy and Lype writing be ad- ded, and thata diploma be issued to each graduate. The pupil i< quick to see the prac- tical value and the immediate vse ror such acquirements. This may not be a remedy but no rational experiment should be left un- tried. For those boys who are kopt at home for family support there is little encourage- ment. The dewand for physical is stronger than the demand for mental food. The right of the parent to utilize the lavor of the son in these cases has a solid basis—the law of self- preservation, and yot the gloom of ignorance darkens and saddens the lives of boys who might otherwise take hign rank in society and the state.” IS A The Sensational Sale of Blankets and Comforts at the Boston Store, Council Bluffs, There has been such a suggestion of cold weather in the air for the past few days that people’s fancies have lightly turned to thoughts of blankets, and the great cost blunket sale at the Boston Store has been a leading event in Coun- ¢il Bluffs during the week. Hun- dreds of pairs of blankets have been sold, and hundreds of dollars saved to the purchaser: Recollect that the sale only lusts seven days, com- mencing last Saturday, and that the largest and finest stock of yall grades blankets and comforters ever brought to the city will be ready for your selection This sale means a saving to you of 50 per cent on every dollar’s ‘worth of blankets or comforts you buy, and you cun buy blankets from 0 cents ' pair up and you can get two pair now for what you will have to pay for one after the close of this sale.

(Copyright 1591 by James Gordon Bennett.] Paws, Aug. 22.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tite Bee.|—In view of the excitement 1n the wheat markets of tho world the Herald obtained the opinions held by the principal French importers us to tho true condition of the markets here. M. Michel Epprussi, who1s king of the wheat importers here, and who has a fleet of largo ships running between San Francisco and Havre, is probably the greatest expert ou the question of the corn supply and demand on the continent. He is reported to have lost 20,000,000 francs dealing in wheat. At this moment when dealers in the United States are anxiously watching the European mar- kets, Epprussi’s practical opinion on the situntion must he of the greatost interest. Ho said, “America must bo called upon to feed Europe during the forthcoming twelve months. America is sendiug us the finest harvest she has ever gatheved, She has now the biggest quantity of wheat afloat ever known. The harvest of wheat in Hungary, Russia and France his proved very meagre, All winter wheat and rye was lost. lu France alone there is a deficit of from 40,000,000 to 50,020,000 hectolitres. A hectolitre is about three and one-lmlf bushels, Austealia has already kiven Europe all she had at 3s or 4s over the ordinary price.” On_velng questioned as Lo the likely to rale later, Epprussi said, “I am firmly of the opinion that thanks aro due for the bountiful supply of wheat sent us from the United States, and ospecially from the Pacific coast. There will be no appreciable rise in wheat between now and January next vut after that date we may look forward to higher prices. As regards the report that Russian government will proibit the exportation of wheat so as to make 1t cneapor in that country, [ don't believe in it atail. Without a doubt certain persons who have influence in Russiau have approached the government with such views, but I don't for a moment consider it possiblo that the government would take action in that divection.” America the Salvation. Having obtained Epprussi’s opinion the in- quiry was contiuued, In Hayre, whero nearly all the Amgrican wheat is cousigned in this country, thgre was found that one of the largest busins of the harvor was filled with wheat ships, uearly all of which were discharging or had ;discharged from 4,000 10 5,000 tons of ricl wheat from the crops of of the western slopus. There wero also a few ships from British’ Tadia, but that grain compured unfavoraply with that coming from the west. Tho ships, were in possession of the stevedores, It was therofore quite difi cult to gain information. At tho corner of the basin lay (the big three-musted bark Circus Wajefield, She had arrived July 14, having left Han Francisco March She brought as 3,100 tons of wheat, sent by Samuel Watts, Shohaa a cood passage, oc cupying 115 days. Then threc ships flying the American flag, which had come, corn ladened. They were Charles Liewellyn, Y. Moose and the Jabez. At Houces there wero also the three masted British Empire, Ivorna ofy Tacoma and the Lord Dufferin All three were consigned to Michael Ep- prissi & Co,, and all were from San k cisco. From Baltimore was the klirida, Cap- tain Rushman commanding, consigned to Phillip Marsaloff. From Sau Francisco, the Craiger to Messrs. Frostal, Delsovs and an- other. A fiue four-master ship, the Re- liance, consigned to Cunard & Cow- any, and the Kupbrosyne, commanded by Cuptain Thompson, and consigned to Frestal, Delzous and Elginshire, bad just cleared for Glasgow. They came from San Francisco with 8,040 tons of wheat, occupy- ing 118 days. This represented the Ameri- can loadea ships with the exception of the Alice A, Leigh, consigned to prices bt Co., whose slight damage through her touching an ob- struction. Every day brings more and more whoat- laden shaps. M. Frestal, one of the largest dealers in Havre, was found 1n the town hall, where he acts as chief assistant to tho mayor, Whilst speaking with roserve he admitted it to be his opinion that prices were likely to nse, more especially since the bad weather of the past weck, which had aamaged crops on this side considerably. At the same time he con- silored that the rise had been largely fic- titious. M. Collet, No. 83 Boulevard do Strasbourg, is another of the largest wheat dealers in Havre. Ho said the deficit in the har- vests of France is “sufficient to keep up the price of wheat, notwithstanding the large crops of Americn. Had Europe produced her pro- nortion to the United States, pricos would now be 20 per cent below what they are. At the same time 1t is well,” he remarked, “that already French deulers have made wiso pro- visions and have bought considerable quanti- ties of wheat from California, Iudia, Chili sad La Plata. Buying in Every Port. *“Puese quantitios which have been bought and which have arrived during the past month, or will arrive, have prevented the rise which many had counted upon, thanks to these large purchases. At the present rates, it seems dificult to imagine how a corner could be formed in the Unitod States with such enormous crops as thoy have there. A corner can only be ensily formed where the supply s limited. Porhaps prices will rise in January or February. Another hard fall in the price is impossible. During the pust few duys thore has been a riso of about | frauc per 100 kilos in wheat. Togive you an idea of tho supply now reaching us, I may mention that during this week as much as 200,000 sacks from California were landed inone duy n this market. I consider the market to be very sound.” Attention was next turned to Pars Messrs. Watler & Co., who are probably tho largest importers in Russian wheat in Paris, suid 50 fur there was no law 1n Russia pro- hibiting tne export of wheat, though prohi- bition had effected rye. Since August the said they were oxpecting to hear momentar- ily of something of that kind, ( wan markets had been much af- fected by the prohibition of rye. In case IRussia prohibited exporting wheat the whole of Europe would have to depend on the United States, He considered that the yield of the United States hud boen exag- gerated and thought the price was likely to 0 up, more especially in view of the recent bad weather here. Usually the crop of France was 120,000,000 bectolitres, This year it was stated to be 85,000,000 by some and by others only 70,000,000, which would in tho Iatter case maie a deficit of 50,000,000 heetolitres, The representative of the large corn im- porting firm of L. Dreyfus & Co. said tro harvest here had been very bad, i fact almost a famine, Probably about halt of the crops wore bad, He corroborated what ap- poars in other interviews. it was ascortained from members of the corn exchange that the market here pointed o a strong 1ise and that this fecling is growing stronger every day.
