work by the Yorkville Graded school
it runs no risk in saying that there Is
right now a more general feeling OF
satisfaction with the institution than
at any time since it's establishment.
Superintendent Jones has been able to
manage with a remarkably small
amount of friction, and taken altogeth-
er the work of all the teachers seems
to have been very satisfactory indeed.
Most of the patrons Of the school have
been able to see material progress on
the part of their children. and If any
of them has serious complaint against
the school. the matter has not come to
our attention. There is strong feel
ing that the school should continue as
it has been with Superintendent Jones
in charge, and his same efficient corps
of teachers as assistants-Mr. Dobson,
Miss Hughes, Miss Witherspoon and
Miss Allison. So far as THE ENQUIRER
is, aware, there is no demand for any
changes, nor no disposition on the part
of the board Of trustees to make any
without a strong demand. But not
withstanding the satisfactory manner
in which the affairs of the school have
been progressing, it is still very impor-
tant that the people Of the town should
give careful attention to the matter of
filling the vacancies on the board Of
trustees with the best material at
hand. The present members Of the
board are giving earnest and faithful
attention to their work, and the peo-
pie owe it to them to give them as col
leagues citizens who may be depended
upon to pursue the same intelligent
and progressive course that they have
blocked out.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

1.-THE people of Yorkville, especially
the business interests, have suffered
untold inconvenience during the past
few days by reason of the curtailment
of mail facilities on account of wash
outs on the railroads.
Board Of health, as follows: DR.. r. A.
Bratton, one year; ]. F. Wallace, two
years; w. w. jenkins, three years;
Geo. T. Schorb, four years; DR.. M. w.
White for five years. The appoint
ments were ratified by the council last
Wednesday night.
THE ENQUIRER was pleased to re-
ceive on Wednesday morning with the
compliments Of Mrs. Brooks Inman, a
large bowl of strawberries that were
superior in size. flavor and even ripen-
ing to any that we have seen this sea-
son. The berries were raised by Mr..
Inman, who is a recognized expert
along this line, and we are advised that
the bed from which they were gathered
is quite an interesting sight. 1t is only
about Is by 80 feet in siZe and from a
single picking Wednesday morning it
yielded 12 quarts of such berries as
have Just been described.
The mayor of Yorkville is entitled
to and should receive a salary. People
who have noted the close application
that the mayOr has been giving to the
affairs Of the town during the past
year, will generally approve this asser-
ton. AS matters now stand, the town
council could not pay the mayor any
as to whether it would have legal
right to do so. But the matter can be
arranged. There is a statute which
authorizes the qualified voters of any
charter in any particular they might
desire that is not inconsistent with the
constitution and laws of the state
The qualified voters have a right to
amend the present charter of the town
so as to provide for a salary for the
mayor if they see proper to do so
Something of the kind should be done
At least it looks as if it would be moth
ing but right to do something of the
kind.
Although THE ENQUIRER has not al
hand detailed information upon which
to sum up the results Of the past years

New York; June 14-The overwhelm-

was in Union Pacific and st. Paul and
a scrutiny of the days transactions
reveal that the strength in the market
was largely confined to these stocks.
The influence of that strength on the
general list was considerable during
the early part OF the day,but it stead
lily waned There were some other iso-
lated upward movements, but these
also had little effect on the general
list But while prices in general re-
fused to respond in sympathy
with the points of strength
they were not conspicuously
affected by the heavy realiz
ing that went on all day under cover
of the strength in the two market
leaders. In fact it was not until Union
Pacific itself relapsed in the last hour
of trading that the selling made no
ticeable impression on prices. At that
time there were sharp breaks all
around which carried the average lev
ell of prices below last night and the
subsequent rallies were insignificant

activity. There is especial urgency
for immediate shopment by consumers
of plates, bars and structural shapes,
and the activity in building operations
is showing no diminuition.
Soasonable weather has somewhat
aroused the dry goods market.
There is not yet such activity that
dealers are overwhelmed, but the var
ious divisions Of manufacture are fair
ly occupied and the heavy supplies of
print cloth at Fall River have decreas-
ed. The lower quotations recently es-
tablished had helpful effect, but the
temperature was more potent for good.
Forwarding of footwear averaged
over one hundred thousand cases
weekly for some time and shops
are well engaged. Prices are steady.
The local jobbing trade is very active.
Wheat declined to more reasonable
level with the withdrawal of specula-
tive support. The government report
of condition was chiefly responsible.
An acreage this year equal to the
greatest ever harvested was indicated
by the official statement. Foreign buy
ing promptly decreased with the pros
pect of more satisfactory terms.
Corn also lost in value although the
crop news was not especially bright.
Notwithstanding somewhat lower quo
tations for corn the provision market
has developed much strength and pork
products are receiving the attention of
speculators to an unusual extent, mess
pork rising to $15.75.
