TOLD OF DEwEY,s VICTORY.
How the Morning News Bulletin
Boards and Extra Got in Their
WnrIr

How the Morning News Bulletin
Boards and Extra Got in Their
Work.
The Morning News saw to it yesterday
that the news of Admiral Deweys splendid
victory at Manila reached its patrons
promptly. 1t received the first Official news
of the victory from its special correspond
ent at Washington. Bulletins were prompt
ly posted and the news was given as rapid
ly as It arrived.
On account of the Importance of the
news, and the fact that many people had
no opportunity to reach the bulletin boards
it was decided to issue an
extra. At S45 O'Clock the ex-
ira was being rolled from the press
The people realized that when the Morn
ing News gets out an extra there must be
something important and they were not
deceived. The extra contained the full
news from Manila, including Admiral
Dewey's reports.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Ad-
miral Deweys great victory was the sub
ject of general congramlation and reioic-
ing, and that valiant warrior and his val
iant men were the subject OF many
toasts. 1t hardly seemed possible that
he had caused such destruction 10 the en-
- 49, ~" 9A6't uaHiaSe 10 MS own
meet, yet the report was too clearly au-
thentic to be doubted. Had not it been
for the fact that the news had already
been anticipated by reports from Spanish
sources, or had the news been an entire
surprise there is hardly a doubt that there
would have been wild and extravagant
demonstrations Of delight. The edge had
already been taken off, however, and Ad-
miral Dewey's report simply confirmed
and added to what had already been re-
ported.

WHEAT'S BIG JUMP UP.
Savannah Spectators Interested But
No Big Fortunes Reported.


Savannahans, like other people. are in
terested in the wheat market. May wheat
jumped TO $1.70 bushel on the Chicago
Board of Trade yesterday. 1t closed the
day before at $1.49% cents a bushel.
The week closed with the most exciting
session the Board of Trade has had in
years. After opening at 81. so and climbed
steadily to $40 at cents a jump 1t
closed at $1.67, which was a net advance
of so cents a bushel on the week.
1t is said that when the market began
10 advance during the early part of the
week, several local spectators began TO
buy wheat and n number closed out yester-
day, receiving a handsome profit on their
investments.
The speculative markets during the past
week were much improved on account OF
the confidence that the result OF the war
would be a certain victory for the United
states. Local investments were freely
made in wheat, corn oats and provisions,
as wei as in the leading stocks aud
bonds.

SMALL FARMS.

The West Virginia Farm Re view believes in small acres with high cultivation as cure for the sad but universal evils of heavy taxation, heavier mortgages and absence of general agricultural prosperity. It expresses it's atti- tude in the following language Ear too many men are owning more land than they can cultivate part of it absolutely growing up in weeds. This same land, if clear ed up and cultivated, would be sufficient for one man with q fami- iy to subsist upon and have money to lay by. No man ought to keep more land than he can keep under the higcst and best cultivation, and when this is done prosperity Is certain and sure. It is very common for a man in this state to be land poor. Some have grown old by worrying and toiling to pay taxes on large tracts of land, when if they had sold or given away tWo-thirds of their land years ago, they would now be healthy, wealthy and wise. Suppose one of these mea had eut his farm into fifty, eighty or hundred acre lots, and sold them to men who would put them under high cultivation. Can any man estimate the differ enee in value they would be to all concerned? l am in favor of small farms, for only I few men know how to cultivate large one to ad- vantage. One hundred acres is as much as one man ean or should cultivate thoroughly. We keep our vegetable gardens in the best possible cultivation; then can any man give d good reason why every foot is cultivated for other crops should be cared for just the same? If this pays in one instance 1t will pay in all. If farmers would sell of every acre of land. which they own beyond that which they are able to cultivate, mortgages would go glimmering into the mists and taxes would be paid as soon as the books are opened.

DON'T WORK THE CHILDREN

Superintendent Skinner of the New York State Department of Public Instruction has taken wise and needful step in bluntly oppos- ing certain movements to use the public schools as mediums for col lecting money for charitable, pa triotic or other purposes.
 Mir. Skinner's opposition was a reused by proposals for national contribution from the school boys and schoolgirls of the United States for the building of two warships to be named respectively "The American Boy and The American Girl and for the cree ton in Paris of q monument to Lafayette by the same means, the contributions to have been made October I9, on what was to have been celebrated as q National Peace Jubilee Day.
 He opposed these propositions because he thought the building of warships might well be left to the American Government, and that, while it was fitting for the Ameri- can people to honor the memory of Lafayette, 1t was not proper to ask contributions from school chil- dren for that purpose.
 This position is eminently sound. The public schools of the United States should be secured against all movements of this nature. The principle of what is practically an enforced demand for money Is un- fair to school children in general, and to the poorer children particu- larly. If allowed to prevail-and once approved and introduced. Ii would prove an evergrowing evil the system would work genuine hardship to many parents too poor to spare the money for such contri- buttons, and yet too proud to have the line of distinction drawn against their children. The public schools should not be thrown open to the invasion of persons seeking contri-

 Children are sent to the public schools to receive an education. While in school they should be left to their books and to the in- struction of their teachers. The line against invasion of the schools, either by the enthusiastic eontri- button solicitor or the cunning ''free ad. /" worker, cannot be too rigidIy drawn. Mir. Skinner's stand in this matter will undoubt- edly receive the indorsement of public school superintendents and teachers throughout the entire country.-Republic.

 SIR :-I am in receipt of your letter of the e9th uIt., in which you inquire as to an etHeaeious preparation with which farmers could swab their cattle regularly in order to keep them free from ticks. In reply, l will say that the preparation employed by this Bureau in dipping cattle for trans portation from an infected district to North of the quarantine line, consists of light lubricating oil, called "EXtra Dynamo Oil. . in which has been dissolved q small percentage of sulphur. This oil may be obtained from Waters, Pierce < Co., St. Louis, Me-, or any of their local agents. The Company furnishes the oil with the sulphur dissolved in it. This oil may be applied regularly to the cattle, either with d stiff brush or mop, without any injury to the animals, and when applied will keep the animals free from ticks for period of three or four weeks, or longer.

mittee was making just about such forecasts as 1t Is making HOW. Reed was speaker of q Republican house then, just as he IS now. The Democratic com mittee figured out d Democratic majority in the congress then to be elected of twenty or thirty, or possibly forty When the re turns came in the Democratic majority was a hundred and ffty-twice as great as the en- tire Republican membership.
 An examination of the present estimate in details shows that it's most marked characteristic Is it's modesty. For example, only two of the seven members from California are claimed as Democratic, four of the thirteen from Indiana, seven of the tWen= ty-onc from Ohio. seven of the thirty from Pennsylvania, two of the four from West Virginia, and one of the six from Mary land. It IS only q few years since the Democrats were elect ing nine from Indiana, fifteen from Ohio, and all from West Virginia and Maryland. Only thirteen are claimed out of the thirty-tour from New York, a1- though this city alone has four teen districts, all of which was carried by Van Wyek last year Not a single member is claimed from Delaware. Iowa or Nebras- ka-the last Bryan's own state and carried by him two years ago.
