NEW YORK, August 15.-Dullness in the
stock market was further increased today, and
the total transactions for the day were the
smallest for any full day for along time. The
fluctuations were of the same limited scale as
the business, and less than half dozen of the
usually active stocks were traded in over a
range of u per cent. The market finally closed
intensely dull and steady at about the opening
figures. The final changes, except in the Atch-
ison which is down IA per cent, are for the
smallest fractions only, and about equally di-
vided between gains and losses.
Government bonds dull and steady.
Petroleum opened firm at 97sSc. and closed
steady at 99c

After the University of Michigan gave the
graduates of the High School the privilege
of entering any of its colleges without exam.
ination, there was considerable complaint on
the part of President Angel that the gradu.
ates received, individual cases excepted
were not far enough advanced to cope with
the regularly examined frst,year students
and when the time granted expired, he did
not recommend renewal of the privilege.
Through the efforts of Messrs. Cotton and
Leslie, the grade of work, as judged by the
actual amount of knowledge acquired by
graduates, has very greatly improved, and
the University of Illinois, Knox College and
Oberlin College (Ohio), have agreed to re-
ceive our graduates without examination, il
they enter within one year after graduation,
and it is hoped that the University of Mich
igan will again open its doors to the o. II
S. graduates in the same way. This may oc.
curr in the very near future.
There is a rumor floating about the build
ing that one of the lady teachers will not
return to her classes next fall, but will enter
the less lucrative but more companionable
field of matrimony. Sic transit gloria. Some
of the gossipy girls say that the gentleman
is a tall bearded man, with scholastic air
and black eyes, sort of an adorable creature
you know, deah boys. Others insist that he
is short, red,headed and smooth faced and
wears the air Of the counting house. A sort
of sealskin- saque, diamond providing young
man. But, whichever he may be, he will
tuck her within the folding wings of love
and whisper sweet messages of joy and
light into her dear futtering heart. If he
doesn't, he isn't worthy Of her, for she is
one of the best teachers and among the
kindest-hearted and most selfsacrifcing
friends pupil ever knew. 1t is from her
that many of our boys and girls have learned
the lesson that common sense much teach,
and it is the best educator of all.
Miss De Lagneau has been appointed first
assistant instructress in French in the
Chautauque University for the coming sum-
mer, and matron of French cottage, and
will preside, as hostess, at the French table
The selection of Miss De Lsgneau for this
important position is well deserved com
pliment, and credit to the o. Il. s., where
she has met with great success, so much SO,
that several society ladies are daily attend
ants upon her French classes.
The building and yard are taking on
spring airs, and Joe, the janitor, looks re-
lieved. for he has less coal to put away in
the big furnace.

To the Farmers Of Illinois.

Editor FREE TRADER; II Is now well
known the world over that a syndicate Is
formed TO rob the farmers Of millions of
dollars at one squeeze on the price Of this
years binding Irvine. II the supply was
short we would not grumble at honest high
prices, but for few men 70 control the
ample supply for the sole purpose of boom
ing the price and specializing on our
supposed necessities Is putting thiefs
hand In the bread winners pocket, and we
appeal TO the manly independence and
sense of right of our brother farmers Of
Illinois to join hands with the grange, and
with the great army or organized farmers
all over the grain growing northwestern
states, who have resolved To break down
this wicked Irvine trust by refusing to buy
the twine at cent above last years prices.
Keep your money until the Irvine goes
begging for market We can bind grain
by hand one season If II comes 10 that
pinch, or put'it up unbound, thus turning
the home money into honest wages for
worthy men. We owe II to ourselves, as
farmers, and to the mutual claims of honest
labor to break down these thieving com
bines that prey upon our pockets; If we
beat this Irvine trust we thus serve notice
of doom On many similar ring Of rogues,
but if we submit now, it is only to be
robbed again and again, worse and worse
every year. Brother farmers, in union is
strength In righteous cause, and we are
bound to win. Meet, organize, show the
independent colors of determined men,
and adopt the battle cry of the grange
"down on the Irvine trust"

In self'defense, please copy.
