SCHOOL BELL RINGS TODAY
End of the Long Summer Vacation Cornea for
Teachers ami Pupils.
SOME CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE

the lllKlt School.
The summer vacation for the pupils and
teachers Is ended and the public schools of
Council Bluffs open again this morning at
0 o'clock for the commencement of another
school year The schools will open with
every prospect for a largely Increased at
tendance and the enrollment at the High
school promises to be the largest In the
history of the school The number of pupils
nt the High school Is expected to reach 450
or over , and this attendance will tax the
capacity of the old building to Its utmost
Owing to the increasing attendance at the
Thirty-second school a new room will be
opened today Two new kindergartens have
been established , one In the Tlilrd street
school and ono In the Twentieth avenue
school , which will make six kindergartens
now In operation , and as the necessity for
them arises more will probably be estab
lished at the larger buildings
During the summer vacation the usual
house cleaning has been carried out at all
the buildings and In some extensive repairs
have bcon made Many of the rooms In the
different buildings have been made bright
and clean with new paint and paper and thu
j Washington avenue building has not only
1 been r p < ilntoil within but has been treated
to a new coat on the outside Considerable
improvements have also been carried out
nt the Bloomer building
But few changes will bo noted among
the teachers , although there are some who
will be mlbbcd by the pupils Some have
forsaken teaching for matrimony since the
close of the labt hchool year , and some have
been granted leaves of absence on account
of 111 health But even with this theie
will bo but very alight change in thu per
sonnel of the corps of teachers this year
The greatest change occurs In the faculty
of the High school , where Prof W N
Clifford succeeds Prof H H Hoyden as
principal , the latter having been elided to
the position of superintendent of the city
schools to succeed Prof J C Hlscy Prof
Clilford comes here from Des Molnes , where
for three years he made a most enviable
record as principal of the North Des Moines
High school Prof Clifford will teach po
litical economy nnd conduct the advanced
work In United States historv
Miss Baldwin hH.s been granted a leave of
absence and her work will be taken charge
of by Miss Prances Dalley and Miss Maude
Pierce Miss Dalley , who Is a new addition
to the High school faculty , Is a graduate
from the Council Bluffs High school and of
Smith college.
The physical science class will be In
charge of Prof S L Thomas , who succeeds
Prof Brett , who takes Prof Clifford's place
as principal of the North Des Molnes High
scnool
The work In mathematics will be divided
between Mr. Sylvester and Mr Pllnt , while
In the business department Prof. Grason
1' ' will have charge of the shorthand and type
writing , as he did last year.
There Is a strong demand among the boys
at the High school for the Introduction of
a department for Inhtructlon In manual
training , nnd the matter will probably come
up at the next regular meeting of the school
board Superintendent Hey den Is In favor
of the Introduction of the department.
In assuming the position of superintendent
ot the city schools Prof Heydcn states that
very few changes , If any , will bo made In
the methods now luoguc. .

for once ho got the wrong end of a dea
Saturday and is now mourning the loss o
fifteen big silver dollars As an offsc
I against the $ lf > Prledmnn numbers amoni
' ' his stock on hand two watches that whole
1 I sale for nbout $ .r > n dozen Saturday after
j noon a stranger dropped Into Prledman :
' I pawnshop nnd presented a "gold cased'
on which ho asked a loan of $ U"
Prledman was doubtful about the case belni
the genuine article nnd applied a test vvhicl
proved satisfactory ard ho loaned th
money. After the stranger had left will
the $15 Prledman again became suspicion
nbout the timepiece and this time took I
to a neighboring Jeweler , who tested It fo
him , and then Pilednmn learned that the ar
tlclo was of the best brass and probabl ;
not worth more than $1 nt the outside.
Just as Prledman was about to close lit
store- for the day the sumo right nnothc
stranger dropped In with another watc !
similar to the one Friedman had loaned $1
on This stranger also wanted to borro\
the same amount on his watch , which h
represented as being gold cased Frlcdmu
put thu watch down In his pocket and
Jumping across the counter , seized the ina
by thu collar and told him ho would hav
him arrested , that ho had already bee
played once thai day for a sucker and dl
not propose to get caught again Thema
said ho hud done nothing wrong and tha
n man outside had given him the watch t
pawn for him Prledman let go of the fel
low and started out on the street and then
standing n couple ot doors away , was th
man who had touched him for $15 earlier I
the day As soon as ho saw Friedman th
man ran down the alley back of the Od
Fellows' building , while the other fclloi
skipped down Broadway In an opposite dl
rectlon without waiting to get bis watc
back.

dead Mr Tiedway was on the witness
stand and Mr. Ta > lor concluded his state
ments would be as good as those of an j ono
else on this subject. He was asked to
slate If It was not a fact that Deputy SheritI
Is now dead.
"No , " replied Mr Tredway , much to the
surprise of the attorney. He continued to
replj In the negative and the attointy was
nt a loss to know what to do and excused
the witness
Just as Mr Tredway arose from the chair
ho remarked loud enough for Court Ke-
porter Hamilton to put It In the record1

nns MOINiS , Sept 11 { Special ) - > It Is
estimated that the apple orchard yield In
Iowa this jear will be but 58 per cent of
an average crop Doth Director S.ige of the
weather crop service and Secretary Van
Ilouten of the State Horticultural society
attribute the falling off to the same causes ,
unfavorable climatic conditions
In the south and southeastern parts of
the state where the crop Is away below the
average the cxctselvo heat and moisture
have Influenced the yield The prodigious
growth of the fruit In those portions of the
state In Juno caused It to loosen and fall
before the heavy wind and rain storms of
the early summer.
In the northern part of the state the yield
la phenomenal and Is thought to be due to
the fact that the northcin part of the state
lies In the great apple belt of the country ,
where the llncst flavored and best keeping
apples In the world are produced Several
cholco varieties of Russian apples have
yielded abundantly In northern Iowa this
> car , and other quite as desirable varieties
are found there In Hancock , Ccrro Oordo ,
Howard , Ida and Kossuth counties Is found
the largest yield , with Hancock at the head
of thu list In Mills county , which has thu
reputation for yielding the best crop , the
smallest Is found this year.
Secretary Van Houteri savs that an In
spection of the orchards of the state has
been carried on thin summer for the San
Jose scale , but BO far none has been found.
This fall , after the leaven have fallen , the
state entomologist will make a rigid Inspec
tion for the scale , aa required by law. There
are ono or two small scales which have
appeared on the fruit trees , but they are
ot harmless varieties and are easily removed ,
and Secretary Van Houtca says no harm baa
b cn done bz thcuu. - , , „
