More Money Appropriated Than
Levied For.
SUPERINTENDENT HARVEY'S GOOD WORK,
The Favorable Balance for ManitOwOt
County is S9,ii0.79.
GOOD EDUCATIONAL FIELD HERE.
Mr.. Harvey Expresses High Praise on the
Results Achieved in the
County Schools.

Shortly after the apportionment Of
in The Pilot in which it was stated thai
when the apportionment of school money
was made, Manitowoc county would re
ceive more money from the state than
was apportioned to it in state taxes.
The apportionment which has been re-
Gently completed by Supt l.. d. Harvey
shows that the amount collected for
common schools from Manitowoc coun-
ty is S26, 301. 50 and the amount appor-
toned to Manitowoc county for com
mon school purposes is $3574t.Gl. Thus
this county viii receive 50, 440.79 in eX-
cess of the state TAX levy for its common
schools.
Manitowoc has come off on the better
side of the apportionment this year and
it is said that the balance will continue
in her favor even into other years. Supt.
Harvey has but recently expressed high
commentator of the work being done
in the educational field of the county.
The following is the aptortionment
for each town: Cato $l436.11, Center
vile $1175.S0, Cooperstown $l3iS -, Ea-

come Bald.

Modern science has discovered that
dandruff is caused by germ that digs
up the scalp in scales, as it burrows
down to the roots of the hair, where it
destroys the hairs vitality, causing fall
ling h tir, and ultimately badness.
After Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germ
any, discovered the dandruff germ, all
efforts to find a remedy failed until the
great laboratory discovery was made
which resulted in Newbro's Herpicide.
1t alone of all other hair preparations
kills the dandruff germ. Without dan
druff hair grows luxuriatly. Destroy
the cause you remove the effect"

Crop Report.

The U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of
the Weather Bureau, Washington
Section, has issued the following re-
port for the week ending June 10,
1901:
The temperature during the past
week averaged about 7 degrees below
the normal. The we ather was mostly
cloudy, with frequent cold showers, al
though the amount of rainfall was
not gseat, and in som e portions OF the
eastern counties the drouth contin.
ued. Heavy frosts occurred on the
4th and Sth, cutting down corn,
beans, and tender vegetables. There
was light fall of snow on the 4th in
the foothills of Spokane county. As a
consequence OF the cloudiness and low
temperature, plants could not make a
vigorous growth, and nothing has APP
peared to make progress, except grass,
clover and wheat. 1t has been good
wheat weather, and every additional
rain comes just so much nearer to
making successful wheat crop.
Winter wheat is now headed out, and
about to bloom. By some, the frost
of the Sth is thought to have done
great damage to wheat, but the ma.
jority OF the reporters consider that
there was little, if any, damage. If
wheat had been in general bloom, the
injury would have been great. Early
sown spring wheat is in satisfactory
condition, but late-sown is backward
Oats are reported as promising in the
lower Sound country, but in some
sections they are thin and yellow.
All grain is weedy this year. Among
the cultivated crops the weeds have a
great start, owing to the rain. The
fruit prospect continues to diminish
by the dropping OF plums, prunes,
cherries, etc. Apples arc setting
heavily in the island counties. Straw
berries are three weeks late.

Camilla UrsO.

The best evidence of the merit OF
Camilla Urso as a phenomenal musi-
clan is afforded by the high eulogiums
passed upon her playing by the city
papers. The Spokane, Portland and
Tacoma papers accord hei a warmth
of praise seldom lavished upon even
the great artists. The Oregonian of
the III inst. says:
at is now 10 or IL years since Ca.
milla Urso has been heard in Portland,
and those who remember her in her
more youthful days cannot see that
she has lost any OF the marvellous
flexibility of wrist and purity OF tone
that gave her the honored place she
has held for over quarter of a century
in the music world. The audience
that greeted her last night at the
Marquam was enthusiastic as of yore.
Madame UrsO was recalled many
times, and generously responded to
the hearty desire for all that her
genius evoked"
She will appear at Olympia Theater
next Monday night. Tickets go on
sale to morrow morning at 8 o'clock.
