SCHOOLS KEEP FILLING UP.
Nearly Two Hundred More Pupils in
Attendance Than Last Year.

The third week of the public school term
shows the enrolment to have grown con-
siderably since the reports of the preced-
ing week were made to the superintendent.
The condition of the schools is very salts
factory to the superintendent and princi-
pals, and the attendance is about as large
as is consistent with the best results.
One hundred and ninety-one more white
pupils are now enrolled than were in the
schools at this time last year. The colored
schools are full.
The extra first grade and second grade
at Henry street school provided for at the
last meeting of the board of education,
were established last week, and have fur-
nished ample room for the restoration OF
those pupils that were transferred from
that school to the Anderson and Barnard
street school. These transferred children
were taken almost wholly from the over
crowded lower grades of the Henry street
school, and consequently nearly all OIL
them have been accommodated by the new
grades. The parents of the young children
that are thus relieved of the necessity of
sending to the more distant Anderson and
Barnard schools are very appreciative OF
the provision that was so quickly executed
for the replacement of these children in
the Henry street school,
The weekly reports show that the pupils
are well distributed among the several
classes of the schools and that all the
rooms are crowded.
An examination for white teachers will
be held Saturday, Nov. 81. Forty persons,
DESTROYS of becoming teachers, have al
ready signified their Intention of taking the
examination. These applicants have been
enrolled as members OF the normal class
to gain the advantage that is to be de-
rived from the attendance on its meetings
and the precedence that is given those
whose names appear on the class roll
when vacancies among the teachers occur.
The normal class is doing good work,
and the teachers are enthusiastic, being
prompt and complete with everything that
is exacted of them. Pains are taken to
make the work of the class very practi-
cal The class next Friday will have un-
der discussion the subject of 'Fhe Gov
erning Power of a School Room" Mr..
w. S. Wilson of the high school has been
requested by Mr. Ashmore to take the
lead in the discussion. His treatment of
the subject will occupy the greater part
of the hour, and, at it's conclusion, the
rest of the teachers will take part.

nor repairs to the buildings made neces-
sary by the storm and they will be done

0VERPOWER THE CASHIER,
Silent Robbers Make a Big
Haul at an Illinois Town
Bank.
Not Word Spoken by the Two Men
Who Secure Eleven Thousand
Dollars.

DECATUR, ILL, May 14.-The Buffalo
Bank at Buffalo, twenty miles west of
here, was robbed of $1,000 in cash at
noon to-day by two strangers, of whom
the cashier has been able to furnish only
an imperfect clew. AT that hour Cashier
Huffbarger was alone in the bank and
there was no one in the immediate vicinity
on the streets. The two men entered
briskly as if on business, and one stepped
up to the cashiers window while the other
walked toward the end of the counter.
The cashier arose to wait on the sup
posed customer and partially leaned over
the counter. He was seized by the throat
without word and in an instant the other
robber had got behind the counter ana
grabbed him from behind.
The cashier was then bound hand and
foot and gag thrust in his mouth. The
money on the counter was showed into a
gripsack and the vault was entered and
all the currency taken from it.
The cashier had been rolled under the
counter and was discovered there half an
hour later by customer of the bank. No
one had seen the thieves enter or leave
the bank and it is not known positively
how they got out of the town, but the sup
position is that they drove to Decatur.
There was not word spoken during the
entire transaction. The bank is private
institution.
