TEN PER CENT INCREASE.
Excellent Showing of the Public
Schools in Superintendent
GreeuSyood's Report.

Superintendent ]. NJ Greenwood complet-
ed yesterday his report to the board OF edu-
cation of the condition of the public schools
for the term ending December .. This re-
port shows an increase of over 10 per cent
in the enrolment of pupils over the
corresponding term of last year. This
large accession of pupils has caused an in
crease in the teaching force of forty-eignt
teachers.
OF the general condition of the schools
the report says: The condition of the
schools was never more satisfactory, and
with the completion and occupancy of all
the new rooms the schools will be in bet
ter shape for doing first-class work than
ever before. 1t is not meant by this that
all the schools are fully abreast. There
are differences in all grades of schools
Unless school works towards high ideals
in many directions, and is permeated by
the proper spirit in all its departments. il
never reaches very high degree of excel
lence. But there is not a school in the
entire list that is not better now than ii
was last year"

NEBRASKA GRAIN GOES SOUTH.
Roads Handling 1t Have Difficulty in
Supplying Cars.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. T.-(Special) The
railroads that carry Nebraska and Kansas
grain to the South not only report a large
movement of grain to New Orleans and
Galveston, but they actually declare that
there is shortage of cars to handle this
business. The Missouri Pacific, the Rock
Island and the Wabash are the three roads
that take most of the Western grain to
the Southern ports. The Burlington takes
quite a volume of the cereal product to
Kansas City, there turning it over to the
roads that run south from that center.
The Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island
get the longest haul out of the business.
Both of these roads report large volume
of grain going to Southern ports. The Mis-
souri, Pacific is to-day 400 cars short on its
central branch, and is looking everywhere
for more cars in which to carry Nebraska
and Kansas grain Southwark. The local
office of the road is the division office for
both states, and is in a position to know
of the real condition of affairs. The grain
that is going Southwark is mostly corn.
Railroad men are of the opinion that the
shipment of grain from this territory to
Southern ports will greatly increase with
the opening of the Pittsburg & Gulf road.

airy, 1896 the road has failed and refused
to pay its share of the rental and expenses
of the depot building, and that there is
now due on this account the sum of $1O,-
092.26. For a second count it is set up that
the old depot was destroyed by fire Feb
ruary 8, 1925, and that on February IL the
board of directors of the Union Depot
Company met and made provisions for
temporary quarters and decided to rebuild
the depot, agreeing that each company
should pay $500 per month additional to-
ward defraying the increased expense. This
extra sum began to be charged July /. 1895,
and it is claimed that for nine months
that is, TO April i, 1S96-the other roads did
pay this additional assessment, but that
the Rock Island has refused to pay any
part of it, and judgment is therefore asked
for sl,S00 on this count.

Transcontinental Mceting.

Chicago. Dec. IA meeting of the Cali
fornia lines was called to-day at the office
of Chairman Caldwell for the purpose of
considering reported Generalization in Cal
ifornia rates. The charge was made by
some of the roads that their competitors
have been in the habit of late of granting
free sleeping car transportation to parties
going through to the coast. This, fl true,
means a reduction of about $5 in the reg
ular rates. The meeting was in session all
of the afternoon and finally came to the
conclusion that there was no demoraliZa-
ton in the business worth noticing and
the meeting adjourned after all the roads
represented had agreed to adhere rigidly
TO the provisions of the agreement cover
ing transcontinental business.

Apple Rates Reduced.

The board of arbitration of the Western
Freight Association has granted the appli-
cation of the Chicago Great Western for
an 1S-cent rate on apples from Southwest

The herald., 1896-08-30

izens interested In the discussion of one
of the most vital issues ever presented
to the country. The people priced the
event at its true value. They saw these
northern men with money to burn ig-
hitting it in lavish style, and enjoyed
the sight of the fireworks, ornamental
but of no material use. The oratory at
the pavilion was on similar plane.
The people enjoyed listening to the gilt
tering generalities that came from the
gold-plated tongues, but the quivering
foref1nger of Samuel Shortridge could
not subdue the spontaneous enthusiasm
with which the name of Bryan, unwit-
tingly uttered, was greeted. 1t must al
ways be a pleasure to listen to such AN
erudite and eloquent gentleman as Nj.
Shortridge, with whatever fallacies his
flights of speech may be weighed down.
1t was, on the whole, despite the heat
and the lowering heavens, very pleas
ant and peculiarly cheap excursion for
our northern friends. and it is to be sim
cerely hoped they enjoyed themselves.

their fortunes into the effort to free the
slave. 1t is the truth to say that all their
efforts We're but drop in the bucket COM
pared with the stir and power that were
in Uncle Toms Cabin. Never in human
history has a work devoted to a great
cause had such an Instantaneous effect,
Byron came down to breakfast one morn
ing and found himself famous and Mrs
Stowe, hoping that the sale of her story
might relieve her poverty. found herself IL;
receipt of $4,000 within four months from
the time of its publication. and the most
famous woman living. 1t was enough to
turn the head of anv one TO meet with this
success. but II had been written in her
hearts blood. and she felt, as Prof Morse
felt when he discovered the telegraph
that she was an instrument In the hands of
God.
1t was here that the greatness Of the
woman was to be seen. 1t made no diff
ference with her that royalty sat at her
feet or that the men and women Of letters
everywhere paid her attention. In all. she
received for Uncle Toms Cabin about
$40 0oo, and had she been able 70 avail her
self of English and foreign copyrights she
might have been one of the richest women
living. The right of dramatzation would
alone ha'. BROUGHT her fortune. to say
nothing of what the stcty itself would have
done. but this was MOI to be. and It Is
painful fact that she leaves her family to-
day In comparative poverty.-Forum.
