RAIN COMES TOO LATE

The rain which began falling last

OF late one of tho worst water famines
known in recent years has been on in
this vicinity. While crops, for the
most part, have been past help, water
for stock and even for drinking pur-
poses has been an exceedingly scarce
article in the country round about.
Corn will be more or less ''chaffy''
even if frost is late in coming. and
the late potato crop may be consid-
cred an entire failure. II is t1o late

by the fall pasture. The land. how
ever, will be put in shape for fall

The Illinois crop bulletin for the
week ending Sept. is as follows:
Continued dry weather prevailed

has again become very serious over a
large part of the state. The weather

day. though the nights were cool and
there was a change to cooler over the
northern part CT the state at the end
Of the week. Considerable blowing
has bteu done and some wheat has
already been seeded. but work in
this direction has been greatly re-
tarded by the dry condition of the
soil. which renders blowing and the

believed that unfavorable conditions
for seeding will reduce the acreage OF
wheat con- idersbly, though few re-

larger than last year. Though corn

reporters believe that the dry weather

All members with the exception Of
Mr.. Denkmann were present at last
nights regular meeting of the board
of education. A letter was read by
Supt. Hayden. which he had received
from State Supt. Bayliss in regard to
the esta blishment of a school in this
city for the instruction of the deaf.
He granted permission for the es-
tablishment of the school, and also,

and any pupil may be sent free of
tuition. Next year it is hoped a
place may be found for the school in
the Lincoln building.
The resignation of X. S. Dart as
secretary of the board was read and
accepted and S S Kemble, former
superintendent of schools here, was
appointed in his place. The meetings
of the board will probably be held
hereafter in the superintendenL's
office in the Lincoln building unless
a down town office is esta blished.
Miss Leonora Witherspoon was
granted few weeks leave of absence
from her duties as teacher.
SuperIntenoe nt's Report
Supt. Hayden read report on the
attendance of the schools for the
second day of the term. The total
enrolment was 3. $50 against OIL
last year on the corresponding day.
The increase in the grammar grades is
normal, although the attendance at
the high school, as might be expected
under the circumstances, shows
somewhat of falling off. The trans
fer of some pupils has been found
necessary to avoid overcrowding OF
rooms under the arrangement plan
ned before the opening of school
Drawing models were ordered pur-
chased for the high school.
