Educational Sunday.
1t Was Observed at the
Local Churches
Yesterday.
By Request Of Supt. Cooley.


Yesterday was Educational Sunday
and, at the request of /. Supt. Cooley, oi
the public schools. sermons were deliv-
ered by several oi the local pastors on
the subject, Education: Its Sphere and
Aims" At the Calumet Congregational
church. Dr. Hunter gave a very interest
ing and appropriate talk at the morning
service and the Rev. ;. t. Morris, of the
Red Jacket church, spoke on the same
subject to a large audience in Intervening.
Both OF these discourses were very highly
spoken OF by those who attended. Sever
al OF the other pastors also took occa'
sion TO speak on education yesterday.
The Y. NJ. c. A. meas meeting was also
addressed on the same subject, the Rey.
j. III. Green, OF the Laurium Baptist
church, delivering very fine address.
The idea OF deyoting one service year
10 educational subjects is a new one here,
but from the interest taken in il yestsr-
day il will probably be repeated next
year. 1t is very appropriate, coming, as
il does, Immediately before the gradua-
ting exercises OF the schools.
Yesterday was also children's day at
most OF the churches and programs rem
dered almost entirely by the little folks

services

The Wheels Gear.

The gear is one Of the most important
things to be looked after in the wheels
running qualities. Each person must
decide for herself how high or how low
1t should be for her comfort The word
refers always to the diameter II the
rear wheel-that is. a go gear means
that the machine is arranged to have
the rear wheel revolvo "a though it were
80 inches in diameter. This is accom-.
plished by means Of the chain turning
over large sprocket in the front and q
small one in the rear. The varying pro-
portions Of the numbers OF teeth ON the
two sprockets produce the variations in

A Mystery Of the Rife.

Something that no man understands
is why rife, clanped in an immov.
able wise, Will not put the bullets into
the same hole every time, even if the
wind does not interfere. A correspond
ent Of Shooting and Fishing tells how
he put rife Of 80 caliber into a wise
and fired it ten times, the sights being
always aimed directly at a mark The
bullets went all over four inch circle
at 90 yards Theoretically all ought to
have gone into the same hole.
A man who holds his rife gripped
hard at one time and easily at another
will not shoot as well as one who takes
the same hold Of his rife every time
The best results are obtained from bench
rests when the man puts his shoulder

WEEKLY INVEsTMENT LETTER.
issued By &. 4. Why land a Company
OF Chicago.
MHEAT

The fluctuations in the wheat market
covered wide range during the week
and were mainly influenced by local con-
ditions. Shorts covered freely on the adj
vance which set in last week and on this
demand being satisfied no effort was
made to sustain prices. The decline
was accelerated by the receipt OF the
government report which was accepted
az bearish document and the selling
became general. In regard to this report
il may be said that the figures are con-
sidered too high by leading authorities
and are all together out of line with
State bulletins and the reports furnished
by private crop experts who have Gov
cred the same ground. Recent action of
the market shows that too much i'm
portance was attached to il as bear
factor. For our part we have reason TO
believe that the low estimates will be
fully confirmed by thrashing returns and
that ultimate higher prices will inevitab-
~ result. Orders for one million barrels
oi Hour were booked by Minneapolis mil
lers during the week, and all Indications
tend to confirm the belief that all of our
exportable surplus will be taken By i'm
porting countries during the current
year. Conservative buying of wheat
under such conditions seems fully iusti-
fed, and the opportunity OF securing
some at present prices should be taken
advantage Of without delay.
CORN AND OATS.
The market for these grains was mod
erately active during the week; trad
ing being confined mostly to local opera
tors. Exports continue liberal and sam
pie lots find ready sale. We do not look
for any radical change in prices in the i'm.
mediate future, but consider the long
side safest to trade on under existing
conditions.

Spain, according to the Madrid CORE
spondent of the New York. Herald, is
making preparations for eventualites.
She is not doing so with any intention of
making war: but in order to be in as
good position as possible to defend her
self if attacked. The purchase of iron
-clads is not, he says, the outcome of any
immediate scare, as the step has been in
contemplation for some time: but there
Is no doubt that the action of the govern
ment has been FASTENED by recent events
There is not any great apprehension that
Mckinley if elected President will act
very differently in that capacity from the
course taken by Mr.. Cleveland The re-
sponsibilities which power entails are
fully recognized by the Spanish govern
ment, as is also the idea that there is n
vast difference between Il President who
makes history and candidate seeking
that position 1t is evident that the situa-
tion between Spain and the United States
is very much strained, and the least lar on
the present friendly relations of the two
countries may lead to serious conse-
quences.

Trust, Loan and Safe Deposit Company,
while sad blow to all Immediately con-
cerned, has not affected the situation, and
1t is only necessary to traverse the prin-
cipal business streets and other thorough
fares of the city to be convinced that Roa-
noke is moving right along with fair pros
poets of a sure and steady growth from
now on.
The stores are filled with wares and
merchandise and are literally patronized.
The industries are all in operation and
in the resident portions of the city all the
houses are occupied. Rents have fallen
to reasonable rates and families can live
in Roanoke in health and comfort as
cheaply rs in any city of the country.
Here they enjoy all the benefits of noun
tain air and scenery, without any of the
attendant discomforts of remote summer
resorts, along with all the advantages of
city life. The days are not too warm for
summer and the nights are cool and
pleasant. There is an air of healthful-
ness and elasticityin the movements of the
people, old, young and middle-aged, indi-
cative of the splendid utilizing influences
surrounding them, and an inspection of
the advantages and blessings which they
enjoy fully explains the reason why all
who make Roanoke their home soon come
to prefer a residence here to any other
place
And why, should they not? Their city is
IL beautiful one, with splendid business
buildings, handsome churches and fine
residences. Their homes and the public
edifices are thoroughlylighted by electrci-
tv and gas. Street cars run Ey the subtle
fluid traverse the principal thoroughfares
ready to take them to places of business or
carry them to neighboring towns: and
surrounding. them on all sides are the
mountains on whose verdant slopes and
intervening valleys reside thrifty and
industrious PEOPLE, whose farm produc
tions furnish all that physical wants re-
quire The sky is blue above them and
the sun shines with brightness all his
own.
No people in any land or any climate
have n more desirable home, and none are
more devoted to their city or more united
for the public good than those Of Roam
oke. The dark clouds of business disaster
have vanished; turn in affairs greatly
for the better has taken place, and the
coming year of 81 promises to he one of
solid prosperity and advancement, not
only for the Magic City but the entire
Southwest
