Virginia Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.
BASED ON REPORTS OF VOLUNTARY Cor
RESPONDENTS THROUGHOUT THE

Observer Ryker at Lynchburg has fur
nisbed us with the following Virginia
weather crop bulletin for the week ending
Friday May 18th, 1891:
Reports for the past seven Gays show
that the temperature and sunshine have
been slightly below the normal, and the
long spell of dry weather has been brought
to an end by the general rains that have
prevailed for the past three to four days.
The amount of rainfall has averaged one
and one half to two inches, and as it was
generally a steady and gentle rain, it has
been one that assured thorough soaking
into the ground. Flowing and corn plant
ing will be resumed, and the wheat, grass
oats and barley crops already show the
good effect of tho rain. In many sections
the clover crop has been almost rnined by
the drought, aud new grass killed. but
some perhaps will improve. no fruit crop
is yet safe, and the damage by the ffosts of
last week is probably not serious any " here.
REMARKS OF SPECIAL CoRREsPoN DENTS.
Dale Enterprise (Rockingham)-0. 10
inch rainfall to-day Thursday. Wheat
and oats will be cut short if we don't have
more rain. Fruit of all kinds has appear
ance of an abundant crop. Note; that Sec
ton probably had good rain thursday night
and Friday,
Staunton, (W. L. Asylum)-0.95 inch
rainfall in three days and still raining at 4
p. m, Friday. All vegetation had suffered
from the drought. Clover crop will be a
failure and oats rather poor. Wheat and
barley look well.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
tho country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.-
Science has proven Catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internally
In doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.-
1t acts directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

WESTERN SCHOOL OF oRATORY AND
ELOCUTION.
To the Editor Of The EAGLE.

To the Editor OF The Eagle.
The article in last Sundays EAGLE en-
titled 1--WE All Have Something to Do" is
heartily re-echoed by every one of its
thoughtful readers 1t is just such news
paper work as this that starts the citizens
to earnest endeayor towards improving the
town, and makes them appreciative of
progression in whatever line.
Quoting, schools, colleges, etc. should
find encouragement and home in the
city," we can say, thanks to the EAGLE
they do, until Wichita can boast of her in
stitutions of higher education.
The past week closed the fall term Of
the Western School of Oratory and Elocu-
ton, which, allowing the results TO speak
has been most successful. Although only
in its second year of complete organiza-
tion, the school is making its influence
felt; while professional speakers generally,
and ministers and lawyers especially are
taking advantage of it TO improve them
selves in oratory, lacking which, no public
speaker can be a success.
DR.. Hoss is an educator fully up to the
times and impels his students to success
ful effort through the matnetism of his
strong endeavor. By comparison of the
work done in this school with schools of
Boston and Philadelphia, Wichita suffers
nothing, and in its practical results comes
out ahead.
Friday was the closing day, and invited
guests crowded the school room to hear
the exercises, which were most excellent
The appearance of the room is especially
pleasing Pictures of eminent orators
and beautiful landscapes adorn the walls
while plants and pleasant conceits give
the room an aesthetical character. A
library of some 200 volumes, bearing
directly on the subject of elocution,
oratory or English literature is ever open
to the students searching. while the genial
instructor directs his pupils in the art of
reading as well as speaking. n. N. A.
