Indianapolis Wants '9s's Encampment.

An effort will be made by Indianapolis
merchants to secure the National Encamp-
ment of 1893 for that city. 1t is well known
that the meeting of 1898 is scheduled for
Chicago, but it is believed in Indianapolis
that the Worlds Fair will serve as draw
back to the encampment. 1t is said that the
Chicago project will be opposed by those
who remember the meeting of 1876, which
was held at Philadelphia at the time of the
Centennial Exhibition. The business men
of indianapolis have decided to make de-
termined effort to induce the Grand Army
to hold the encampment there in 1898.

Election of New Teachers.

The election of two teachers to fill
vacancies caused by designations and one
additional teacher was a part of the bust
ness transacted by the Oakland School
Board last Tuesday evening. Miss Katie
Farrell and Cora Coyle were elected teachers
in the Bellfeld School, and Miss Laura
Holmes at the Soho. At the latter school
Miss Lizzie Small resigned. The new SUBJ
stitutes are the Misses Jenkins, Belle Snow.
Kate Dickson and Ella Dalbv. The Oakland
schools have the largest corps of teachers in
the city, 80 who train the ideas OF over 900
pupils.
Prof Apple, of the State Normal School at
Clarion, who was recommended as the new
assistant professor of mathematics at the
High School, was educated at the Franklin
Marshal College, Lancaster, and for the last
five years has been identified with the
Clarion State Normal School. Previous to
this he taught at St. Petersburg, Pa. He is
very fine scholar, and a gentleman of fine adj
dress. There is no doubt that the Central
Board will confirm the election next Tues
day evening.

Reception of Visiting Teachers.

The city has been full of visitors all
week, and the schools have had q large quota
of them. Forty-one teachers from East Pal
estine, Newark, and Alliance, o., visited the
North, High, Normal, Forbes, Mt. Washing
ton, Lloyd, Franklin, Moorhead, Grant
and Hancock schools Thursday and
Friday. Fifth avenue and the other
streets that would afford egress
to the Grant and Hancock schools,
were presumably so crowded that Superin-
tendent Luckey took the visitors up Straw
berry alley when he was bringing them to
these institutions. While they were going
up the alley they met big. burly colored

IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Objections to the Present System of Teach
ing Drawing-some Newly Elected In
structors-yisitors From Neishboring
Towns-Items of General Interest.
There is some talk that the subject Of
drawing will again shortly figure before the
Central Board of Education. The question
will lot be as to its desirabilty Tor that is con-
ceded on every hand, but as to the present
method. Some contend, and they are few
in number, that the present system is too
expensive, since 1t calls for varied colored
paper for designs. Another objection is
that the system is not practical; the third,
and only real objection is in the
clay modelling. Its opponents claim that
the continued use of the same clay
is detrimental to health. For instance,
certain quantity of the clay is distributed
among the pupils to be modelled into cubes
and other figures. When they are through
with the portions of clay given them, these
portions are again thrown together to form
q new conglomeratiOn. 1t is to this that
strenuous objection is made as 1t 1S argued
J that disease could be communicated by such
q process.
1t must be said that the objections have
little weight. The Central Board considered
these objections when it adopted the system,
and would not have run counter to what IL
thought right. Beside the board has the ex-
amples OF such cities rs Boston and Phlla-
delphia. to show that the present system OF
drawing is the best in vogue. The teachers
like the present system very much, and Op-
position to it will have to be developed in
the Central Board. As the Central Board
commended the adoption of this drawing
system and placed it in the course OF study,
it is hardly likely it will make any change.

Bols q Webb, Cole building, Nash
Vile, Tenn.--Dear Sils; More than
two years ago my eyes began to fail
me. ] Immediately applied to emf
nent oculists for relief; for eight
months they treated me without a
particle of benefit. Finally, about
three months ago, went totally blind
and, as last resort, / procured an
Electropoise, which, very much to the
qualification Of myself and family, has
restored my sight. 1t has also greatly
benefited my wife and daughter.
My wife has been subject of paraly-
sis for more than two years, and my
daughter sufferer from inflamatory
rheumatism for more than twelve
years. All this has been effec-
ted in the last two months. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the Elec-
tropoise. If l were the possessor of
the only one in existence, and it could
not he reproduced, the wealth of the
universe could not purchase it, | con-
slider it the grandest invention of the
age.
Truly and gratefully yours,

INADEQUATE
The Facilities Of the North
western Farmers
For Saving the Great Grain
Crop Of This Year.

Unable to Stack tho Grain ON Account OF
the Scarcity of Laborers-- Snow and
Rain Cause sprnutins ia the Shocks
and the Farmers WIN Lose Millions Of
Dollars 10 Consequence.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 15.-The weather OF
the past few weeks has undone much OF
the good that was done by the fine
weather early in the season in North
Dakota, and the farmers of the north
west will suffer losses aggregating in
the millions. The damage as yet can
only be estimated, but that the loss will
be very great there seems no doubt
The railroads had made special arrange
Inents to handle great crop, and the
farmers considered their own plans am
ply sufficient. But SO great was the
wheat crop that first it was impossible
to hire enough harvest hands 70 secure
the crop, and n very large part Of it had
to be left standing in the shock. Then
it was found that the supply Of thresh.
ing machines was insufficient, and that
caused delay which left fully half the
crop still in the fields unthreshed when
the rains came. Rain has been general
and abundant, and it is this which has
caused the greatest loss. There is still
great shortage of threshing outfits
but the weather has prevented work
more than half the time.
In the North Dakota Red River valley
rain and snow fell. 1t was showing
Tuesday and last week there was but
one full days threshing. Reports are
received of grain sprouting in several
stacks.
At Devils Lake, N. D., a heavy rain
fell Tuesday which will stop threshing
for several days. No grain has been
stacked, owing to the scarcity Of labor
ers.
Lakota, N. D.. reports snow thresh-
ing stopped entirely, and fears chat UNI
less the weather clears soon much of the
grain will lie unfit to thresh.
In the northern part Of North Dakota
there will, however, be more loss from
lack Of laborers than from bad weather.
Northwestern Minnesota gives about
the seme report as does Dakota. 1t
commenced raining again about
Crookstown Monday, and continued all
day. There have been only few days
of dry weather in four weeks and farm
ers are getting discouraged.
In Traverse county and central west
ern Minnesota the larger portion Of the
wheat has not yet been threBhed, and
men and machines are greatly needed

Ioods. GoIoneI Murphy writes most en-
couragingly, reporting his cordial recep-
ton by Minister Phelps and the readi-
ness Of that gentleman to forward his
mission, and further states that he has
been able to produce bread, composed in
part of rye and part of corn which has
been highly commended by all those to
whom samples have been submitted as q
most satisfactory substitute for the ordi-
nary rye bread in general use among
certain classes in Germany, and this at
a cost based on the present price of rye
-four and corn meal in Germany, less
than the cost of bread exclusively of rye
flour and now retailing in that city.
Should special concessions in the matter
of tariff duties be secured from the Ger
man government on Indian corn, the
outlook for u large increase in our ex-
ports Of that product to Germany
would, in the opinion of Colonel Murphy,
be most promising.
