WAIT FOR coLD DAYS.
The Fate OF Some Ladies Elected
Teachers Mopday Night.


The board Of education Mondaynight elected
seven teachers-one for the high school and
six for the graded schools of the city. -Four
OF the seven were among the teachers who
were not recommended for reelection by the
superintendent but the board ignored the
recommendations Of that gentleman In this
instance.
Superintendent James has nothing TO say
in the case other than that the board is a
having been elected, will be assigned to
places as soon as there arc vacancies to be
supplied.
ait will be cold weather; I speak literally
and not in slang parlauce," said Secretary
Piper "before some OF these teachers, Mt
least, are assigned for work. The board has
already elected 2S5 teachers. There were
264 in the schools on the close of last year.
Nine of these have resigned. A number of
new rooms have been opened and an addi-
tional teacher has been employed in the high
schools. This leaves more than the number
of teachers elected last night still unem-
ployed OF course there will be resgna-
tions and changes that will furnish
work for the teachers already elected
out imagine it will be well along in the
winter before all of the teachers elected will
find work.
There were $3.50 pupils in the schools
Monday. This is the largest number of pu-
pills that has ever attended at the opening
term of the school year, and the list will
probably be swelled to 10000 before the end
of the term,
The superintendent has nothing to offer
relative 10 the increase of teachers salaries.
That matter, he says, rests entirely with the
board.

THE CROP REPORT.
Corn Shows Reduction of Five
Points in Condition.

Points in Condition.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-The September
crop report of the department. Of agriculture
MAKES the general average of corn 81, "a re-
duction of nearly points: of winter
wheat when harvested 50, points from 92
ON the lst of July; of spring wheat $50, an
increase from S1.2 in August. This makes
the general average of all wheat $40. The
general condition of oats is 80, instead of
92.3 last month; of rye GIG; of barley SS9,
instead of 90.6; of buck%heat 92.1 instead of
95 =.
The percentage of stock hogs available for
fattening is l01, condition rs. The corn crop
is weak ana late In large proportion
of its breadth. In the Ohio valley and lake
region there has been marked reduction of
the condition during the last month, from
the dropth following the heavy rains in the
early summer. In Michigan and Wisconsin
the effects Of the drouth, and other influ-
ences, are most injurious. There is com
plant of the drouth west of the Mississippi,
but it is too late in the season for any serious
reduction. West of the Missouri the condi-
tion has been more favorable than in any
other part of the country and the crop is
very large
diton are: Ohio 81, a loss of points; In
diana ST. a loss of points; Illinois 81, loss
OF points; Iowa "a, a loss of 6 points;
Missouri 93, a loss of 3points; Kansas 9S;
Nebraska, Sc.
The reduction in winter wneat, compared
with the July report, is in New York. Penn
sylvanla, Michigan, California, and in some
OF the southern states. The quality of west
ern grain. as shown by its grading, is COM
paratively poor and will affect its weight and
value.
The condition of spring wheat Is reported
higher than in August in the northern por-
tlon of the belt and slightly lower in Iowa
and Nebraska, as follows Wisconsin 90,
Minnesota 80. Iowa 93, Nebraska 49, Dakota
63. The local rates Of yield in Dakota are
extremely variable, ranging from one to
twenty bushels per acre.

STATE DEVELOPMENT II.
Ignorance Regarding it Within But
Not Outside the CITY.

A small wave of encouragement seems to
have struck local members of the State De-
velopment association. Nate Crary, who
has been engaged to canvass Omaha for sub
scrptions from business men, saws he meets
with a great deal of opposition. Those. who,
it is claimed, are able to contribute excuse
themselves on he ground that they know
too little about the scheme and its objects
that they have not been informed about it as
fully as they would like to be, with num-
ber of other excuses.
Yesterday Secretary Mason received an
encouraging letter from James A. Cline, vice
president of the Mind en- board Of trade, in
which he says: 81 assure you If indications
count for anything, we are now receiving the
consideration of the public. The interest
manifested in western Nebraska is un-
doubtedly giving an insight to those not
members that will result in much
good. Kearney county has fully demon
strated that it pays to be represented in the
east during these harvest excursions with
plenty OF advertising matter. Our board of
trade has sent three men to Illinois with l0,-
600 descriptive circulars and maps,
and one man through western Pennsyl-
vania, and every day brings evil
dence of the good work done
by them. III every county would make the
effort we have made, Nebraska's wonderful
agricultural advantages would be known in
every section of the east That we may
prosper and be able to carry out the objects
Of the organization all must take a hand and
help. With the inducements offered by the
railroads success is sure"
ut would seem from this" said Mr..
Mason, that the people outside of Omaha
have not been so slow to understand the OBJ
jects of our movement | know that the
newspapers are in sympathy with us, and
have been publishing all the matter they
could get hold Of

The Green Bottle Strike Over.

PITTsBuRa, Sept. l0.--The strike of the
green bottle blowers is practically ut an end
so far as the western district is concerned.
Three factories in this city have already
started and it is certain the rest of them
will commence work in a few days.
One house at Streator, Ill, and a
green bottle house at St. LOUIS also
have been started. The trouble between
the green bottle men and the manufacturers
was caused by the latter proposing IA 10 per
cent reduction in wages For some time the
matter was in abeyance owing to the deter
minuton of the manufacturers to force tho
men to accept their terms, but it is settled
Iow and next week it is expected every
green bottle house in the western district
will be running ..., .

AMUSENl EATS.

Charlotte Thompson is having better en-
this hot weather that could reasonably have
been anticipated. She drew much larger
audience last night than at the
opening performance, and enter
tanned them very well. EAST Lynne" one
of Henry Woods most intensely emotional
productions, was the play, Miss Thompson
appearing in the double role of Lady Isabel
and Madame Vine. While this little woman
is certainly conscientious enough TO
satisfy the most exacting patron, show
ing intelligence in her work, displaying
good taste and giving an honestly conceived
portrayal of every character assumed. Her
presentation of the emotional qualities at
tached to Lady Isabel was quite natural and
very effective. The audience appIauded her
efforts warmly. The supporting company
was fairly good.
Prof. b. b. Young and Nat Brigham, as
conductor and manager, respectively, of
the forthcoming Glllmore musical fes-
tival, commenced rehearsing the local
chorus last evening. Owing to
supposed that Max Meyers new music hall
in the Paxton building was the place of
meeting, instead of the old hail at Eleventh
and Farnam streets, the attendance was not
so large as it probably would have been.
However, Mr. Young expressed him
self as being fully satisfied, and
says the chorus will number 300
voices before rehearsals are half over
About fifty ladies' and gentlemen were pres
ent and they entered enthusiastically into
the work before them.

A Tai. of suffering.

ST, PAUL, Sept. 1O.-A special from Win
nipeg says: A terrible tale of suffering in
the far north is told by Rev. f. II. Black, a
Church of England missionary near Fort
Simpson, who has just arrived in the city.
Last winter was a very hard one for the In
dians owing TO the absence of reindeer and the
mpossiblity of hunting moose successfully in
the absence of much snow Ten persons
succumbed at Fort Wrightly. Black be-
lieves the mortality during the coming win
ter will also be great unless there comes a
heavy tall of snow. The distress in the Fort
Wrightly district was terrible and the suffer
ing intense At Fort Lizard seven died from
starvation last winter.
