A rumor has boon nllont for a day or two
past that thu Grand hotel had been closed.
Manager Taylor was seen about the matter
yesterday. Ho stilled that thu hotel Is doing
a good business , and that thcro Is not ttio
lightest ground for the rumor. It will con-
tlnuo to run.
The llrst frost of ttio season was night bo-
tore last , nnd thu eatly rlsurs were somewhat
disagreeably surprised to see the whlto stuft
on the ground. So far as known no damagu
was done , but the fact that the frost came
EO near the middle of August and that thcro
was no telling what It might do In the course
of a week or Uvo tended to imiko puoplo foul
somewhat uneasy.

decision that the ovldonro showed clearly
that thcro had been u disturbance , but it had
failed to show that Stmnkleti was oven re-
inotoly the cause of it. Tbo ovldenco nil the
way through was very conflicting , but ho
thought the only conclusion ho could arrlvo
ut was that Shunklon was not guilty.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS ,
Prof. Sawyer Writes Interestingly About
the Public Schools.
SCHOLARS WILL HAVET01EARN ENGLISH ,
No Stnb nt tlio ClnsslcH , Hut O sly n
Dculro to Tcnuli the Pupils
Tliclr Mother
Tongue.
The annual report of Superintendent
Sawyer of the public snhools , which was
submitted to the board nt its last meeting ,
contains many suggestions along the line ol
education which will bo of Interest to the
public. Onu of the most noteworthy of bis
statements Is the following :
"Tho basis of puoilc instruction In the
high schools of every country must bu ths
ability to accurately spo.ik nnd wrlto the
language spoken by the people of that coun
try. Conforming to this Idea , tbo require
ment U now uiado that all pupils In the
Council DlulTs high school are henceforth to
complete the course In English composition ,
whether they pursue the business , the Eng
lish or the classical courso. Lot no ono say
this is u stab at cither Gorman or Latin.
Klther of these languages Is vastly purer
nnd moro consistent than the English , but
the question Is not ono of purity or strength :
U Is simply whether English or some foreign
language should bo made the basis of in
struction in n land of KnglUh speaking
people. "
Ho also refers to the success of his scheme
to uo away with written examinations ns a
basis for promotion. The parents , teachers
and pupils , ho says , have all boon led to
testify to tlio bonolichil results of the change
from the fact that it has done away with
much of the nervous strain that xvas caused
by the approach of the examinations under
the old plan , and there is no doubt that the
present system is n fairer ono than that
where promotion depends upon the correct
ness of the answer to ten questions , The
teachers also state that Mnco ihn chnnga was
made the character of dully recitations bus
been higher than before.
He alludes to the old maxim , "A sound
mind in u sound body , " and recommends that
the board introduce gymnastic exorcises ns n
required part of thu school work three days
in a WCCK , ns ho considers the physical quite
us important us the intellectual development
of the child llfo.
Prof. Sawyer's remarks upon the subject
of moral training nro worthy of reproduction
verbatim. Ho says :
"One of the prime , duties of the public
school is effective moral instruction. The
experience of school mon in all ages has been
that moro intellectual training , without n
'
corresponding development of the 'moral
nature , docs not lit boys and girls for prac
tical llfo. Many of the world's brightest
intellects have been stcoped In crime. To
insure the highest good and moot
the demands of the public , the moral
nature must bo cultivated along with the in
tellectual man. The present course of study
recognizes this obligation , and the courbo o'f
morals nnd manners Introduced by Dr. E. E.
White into the Cincinnati schools Is the base
of Instruction. As indicating the character
of the work , live of the twenty-six subjects
nro presented , viz : Cleanliness and neat
ness , politeness , kindness , truthfulness ,
honor. "
Ho calls attention to the fact that less than
" 0 per cent of the graduates from the public
schools uro boys und traces it to its several
causes some dropping out to engage in busi
ness , others imagining they are overcome by
n feeling of weariness. Ho thinks "most of
the boys who drop out from those causes sow
the seeds of desertion when they become
night scholars. At ilrst they go upon the
of wrong , but once started upon a downward
course e'vorythlng scorned greased for the
occasion , and ere long they turn their backs
upon the school , infatuated by thu idea that
they am men , nnd in various pursuits begin
a struggle for existence for which they nro
Ill-prepared. When parents of ordinary in
telligence and refinement first discover that
their sons are roving iho streets night after
night they try to chock the
evil by commanding tbo young
scions to stay at homo. Such commands
avail nothing. The philosophy of tbo unsuc
cessful training of boys consists , not in issu
ing orders about staying at home , but In pro
viding that home with games and other
amusements that will make it moro attrac
tive than the street. For that class of boys
who are dissatisfied with the present high
school course it is suggested that a brief
course In stcnograpy and type writing bo ad
ded , and that a diploma bo Issued to each
graduate. The pupil i quick to sco the prac
tical value and tlio immediate use tor such
acquirements. This may not be a remedy
but uo rational experiment should bo loft un-
trlud. For those boys who nro kept at homo
for family support thcro is little encourage
ment. The demand for physical Is stronger
than the demand for mental food. The right
of tbo parent to Utilize the laoor of the son in
these cases has a solid basis the law of self-
preservation , and yet the gloom of ignorance
darkens and saddens the lives of boys who
might otherwise take hlgn. rank in society
ana the state. " _

Opinions of French Expert * ol' tlic
Grain Situntion.
( Copvrlulit ISOltiii Jama ( JunlmJsimcM.l
PAIIIS , Aug. 22. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Pun BBI : . ] In view of the
excitement in the wheat markets of the
world the Herald obtained the opinions hold
by the principal French importers as to the
true condition of the markets hero. M.
Michel Epprussi , who is kins of the wheat
reporters here , and who 1ms a fleet of lavfjo
ships running between Sun Francisco nnd
Havre , is probably the greatest export ou the
luostion of the corn supply and demand on
the continent. Ho is reported to have lost
20,000,000 francs dealing in wheat. At this
moment when dealers in tlio United States
ire anxiously watchlti ? the European mar-
tots , Epprussl's ' practical opinion on the
situation must ha of the greatest Interest ,
Ho said , "America must bo called upon to
feed Europe during the forthcoming twelve
months. America is sending us the finest
mrvost she has ever gathered. She has now
ho bigiost quantity of whe.it afloat over
cnown. The harvest of wheat in Hungary ,
Russia nnd Franco his proved
very meacrro. All winter wheat and
rye was lost. In Franco alone there
is a deficit of from -JO.OJO.OOO . to r,0,0'JO,000
hectolitres. A hectolitre is about three nnd
one-half bushels. Australia has already
Klvoji Europi all she had ut 3s or Is over the
ordinary price. "
On Doing questioned as to the prices
likely to rale later , Epprussi said ,
"I am firmly of the opinion that
thanks are duo for the bountiful supply
of wheat sent us from the United States , nnd
especially from the Pacific coast. There will
jo no appreciable rise in wheat , between now
and January next uut after that date wo may
ook forward to higher prices. As regards
the report that Uusslaa government will

persons who have influence In Kustiau

possible that the government would take
action in that direction. "
Amurlua the Salvation.
Having obtained Epprussl's opinion the In
quiry was coiUiiiuqil. In Havre , where
nearly all Uio American wheat is consigned
a this country , tlis.ru was found that one of
the largest buslns of the harnor was tilled
with whcatj bhlps. ucnrly all of which were
Hschnrgmg or had'/discharged from 4,000
to 5,000 tons of rlclj. wheat from the crops of
oi the western slouo ? . There were also a few
ships from British'ImlU _ , but that grain
compared unfavorably with that coining from
the west. The shjps. were In possession of
thu stevedores. It was , therefore quite dim-
cult to gain InfpviimUon. At the corner
of the bimn lay jthu big throo-inustod
bark Circus Wuftp/lcla. / She had arrived
July U , having luf ( ; an Francisco March 2r > .
She brought us a,100 tons of wheat , sent by
Samuel Watt1 * , .Sly Jmu a coed passage , oc
cupying 115 days. .Tt\en \ turoa ships Hying the
American Hag , which had como , corn ladoncd.
i'boy were Uharlcs Llowollyn , Y. MOCHO nnd
ho Jaboz. At Houcos there were also
bo three masted Drltlsh Empire , Ivarna
ofTaconia and tbo Lord OufTorln *
Ml three were consigned to Michael Ep-
irussl & Co. , and nil were from San Fran-
Is co. From Baltimore was the hllrlda , Cap-
aln Uushinan commanding , consigned to
'bllhp Mnrsaloff. From San Francisco , the
Cralger to Messrs. Frustal , UeUons and an
other. A tine four-master ship , the Ko-
laucc , consigned to Ounnrd & Com-
ny , and thu Eupurosyuo , commanded
iy Captain Thompson , nnd consigned
o Frcstul , Delzons and Elginshire , bad Just
leared for Glasgow. They came from San
Yantlsco with U.OIO tons of wheat , occupy-
ng US days. This represented the Ameri-
an loadoa ships with the exception of
Uiu Alice A. Lclgb , consigned to
E ( > hrussl & Co. , whoso cargo receivo.l
slight 'lamago through her touching an ob
struction.
Every day brings moro and more whoat-
laden ships. M. Frestal , one of the largest
dealers in Havre , was found in the town linll ,
where ho nets as chlof assistant to the
mayor. Whilst sneaking with reserve
ho admitted it to bo his opinion
that prices were likely to rise , moro
especially siuco the bad weather of the past
week , which had damaged crops on this
side considerably. At the same time ho con
sidered that the rise had boon 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 Franco is "sufticicnt to
keep up the price of wheat ,
notwithstanding the large crops of
America. Had Europe produced her pro
portion to the United States , pncos would
now bo 20 per cent below what they are. At
the same tlmo it is well , " ho remarked , "that
already French dealers have made wise pro
visions and have nought considerable quanti
ties of wheat from California , India , Chili
and Lu Plata.
Buying in Kvcry Port.
"Those quantities which have boon bought
and which have arrived during the past
month , or will arrive , have prevented the
rise which many had counted upon , thanks
to these largo purchases. At the present
rates , it seems illfllcuH to imagine how a
corner could bo formed in the United States
with such enormous crops ns they
have there. A corner can only bo
easily formed where the supply is
limited. Perhaps prices will rise in January
or February. Another hard fall In the price
U impossible. During the past few days
there has been a rUn of about 1 franc per 100
kilos in wheat. To give you an idea of ttio
supply now reaching us , I may mention that
during this week as much ns 'J0 < > ,000 sucks
from California were landed la ono day in
this market. I consider the market to bo
very sound. "
Attention was next turned to Pans.
Messrs. Waller & Co. , who are probably the
largest importers in Russian wheat in Purls ,
said so fur there was no law m Russia pro
hibiting tno export of wheat , though prohi
bition had effected ryo. Since August they
said they were expecting to hoar momentar
ily of something of that kind. Gor
man markets had boon much nf-
fcctod by the prohibition of ryo. In
case Russia prohibited exporting wheat the
whole of Europe would have to depend on
the United States. Ho considered that the
yield nf the United Status hud been axag-
geratod and thought thu pilcowas likely to
go up , moro especially In view of the recent
bad weather hero. Usually the crop of
Franco was I''O.OOO.OOO hectolitres. This
year it was stated to bo 85,000,000 , by some
and by others only " 0,000,000 , which would
in the latter case make n deficit of 50,000,000 ,
hectolitres.
The representative of the largo corn Im
porting linn of L. Dreyfus & Co. said tl-o
harvest hora had been very bad , in fact
almost n famine. Probably about halt of the
crops worn bad. He corroborated what ap
pears In other interviews. It was ascertained
from members of the corn exchange that the
market here pointed to a strong rise und that
this fueling Is growing stronger every day.

Ciiinoiin : : , la. , Aug. W. This was demo
cratic day in Cherokee , and the city has boon
full of Governor Holes' ndherants , anxious
to assist In opening the state campaign with
proper eclat. Everywhere tbo greatest
enthusiasm prevailed. The big mass meet
ing opened shortly after dinner. Governor
Boles was tlio principal sneaker. The pro
hibition law , the governor declared , had
proved a failure and cltud the fact that 4,095
persons In the state , or nn avor.igo of moro
than forty-one in eacu county , hold federal
licenses for the sale of liquors , to sav nothing
of the bootleggers und joints In" counties
wbero no open saloons exist to un extent
equal or greater than before the passneo of
tbo present law. Continuing , thu governor
said : "Tho slmnlo truth Is that the penal
ties which this inflicts are in many instances
hideously cruel und their consequences , to
entirely innocent parties , nro so serious that
110 man possessed of n human heart can turn
n deaf oar to thu appeals that are constantly
being made on the governor for relief. I
doL-'t underestimate the evils of intompor-
UMCO or the sorrow nnd suffering it orings
to friends of its victims who are In
nocent ol any wrong , and vet with a
full knowledge of ull this I do
not hositati ) to declare the enforcement of
this law , so far ns It has been enforced In
this stnto slnco its passing , has pnupari/od
moro families nnd Inflicted more suffering on
wholly Innocent parties than nil tlio intern-
pornnco that would have existed In thu state
if thoMilo of alcoholic liquors hud heon abso
lutely unrestricted during thai time. There
is nothing ambiguous in thu position of the
democratic party on this qnt'stioii. It is not
proposed to bring the lufrall/cd saloon hack
to a single locality In thu state wlioru public
sentiment is opposed to It. The brnad propo
sition Is to lot each city , town and township
determine bv a votu of ttio electors thereof
whether they do or do not want a licensed
saloon therein. "
Governor Bolos also vigorously discussed
the tarift Issue ,
Hiioh IN the Character of the Only
\VltncHn Co Iho DavlH Will.
BUTTB , Mont. , Aug. 23. Today In the

peach the reputation of Sconce the only liv
ing witness to the alleged will. They unani
mously pronounced U bad. Ono of thosu enld
ho hud been ncciiricd of stealing shuon
and hogs. James R. Bovco. a Uutto man ,
said John A. Davis had told htm shortly after
his brother's death that a will would be
forthcoming at the proper tlmo , which wus
said with a significant smile.
