One Dollar Wheat.

The present year should be one of
the best that farmers have had for a
long time past, if good crops oombin-
ed with good prices cut any figure. 1t
is seldom indeed. that the two go to-.
gether.
The crops are uniformly heavy this
season, which is in itself something re-.
markabla. The hay and wheat were
good, while the oats crop is one of the
best that has been harvested in many
years. The corn crop is very promis-
ing while potatoes will yield enorm-
ously. Vegetation in every form is
simply luxuriant, the corn is growing
rank and every field is clothed with
verdure. 1t requires only short drive
to reveal the prosperous state of affairs
among the farmers.
1t is dollar wheat which adds the
crowning JOY to the farmers heart.
For years past the price of wheat hung
around figure which made the cul.
tivation of the crop Improbable. The
dollar mark was price fondly looked
forward to by the farmer as price
which would alone repay him for his
labor. One dollar for wheat Is being
paid by local dealers at present, while
in Sunbury and Bloomsbury last week
the price went up to $l.10 per bushel.

An effort is being made on the part
Of the Berwick Citizens committee to
have the Pennsylvania Railroad con-
tribute the "a. 600 necessary, in addi-
tion to the %, 600 which the d. l.. q
W. Railroad has agreed to contribute.
to make the necessary subscription of
90, 600 which Attorney General Gar
son says must be subscribed before he
will recommend the construction of
the Berwick -Nesoopeck bridge upon
the site as proposed by the viewers
with the bridge built over the tracks
Of the d. l.. & W. company.
: Several of the railroads counsel
have expressed the opinion that the
railroad should do something, but
whether they will or not remains to
be seen. There is no doubt but that
the amount OF the subscriptions asked
wonld soon be made up In passenger
traffic alone, as the passenger traffic
receipts at the Nescopeck station are
very large and would be even larger
with proper facilities. and then. too.
the delay in the construction Of the
bridge and the consequent falling off
in travel during the winter months
will cause loss of more money than
the committee asks.

Grammer School Opens Today.

Pursuant to the action of the School
Board Monday night the Fourth Ward
Grammar School. closed for several
years past, will open this morning
with Miss NJ. l.. Bloom as principal.
Miss Bloom is an able and experien-
ced teacher, and although recently en-
ployed in the Senior Secondary grade.
is no novice as far as Grammar school
work is concerned, having taught for
nine years in the grammar school of
the Fourth Ward before that school
was closed by action Of the Board.
The Grammar School will open with
about 80 pupils. which leaves some
thirty enrolled in the Third Ward
Grammar School. Not only are the
pupils in the Fourth Ward Grammar
School above the number that could
be mustered up in that grade when it
was deemed advisable to close the
school. but the Third Ward is fuller
than at that time, fact which would
indicate if not a growth Of population
at least that attending school in the
higher grades has become more popu-
lar of late years.

Hicks on September Weather.

Rev. Hicks, the weather prophet,
makes some oalamitous predictions for
the month of September. Vulcan,
Mercury and Venus will be the reign
ing planets, and during the latter part
of the month the earth passes through
the autumnal equinox. In the early
part Of the month the planets Venus,
Vulcan and Mercury will conspire to
deluge and blast US. and violent dis.
turbances are to be expected. During
this period the earth passes through
the maximum and magnetic electric
disturbances. After the llth. cold
may be expected with equinoctial
tempes.s In many parts. The earth
comes to the centre of the equinox on
the 22nd, and the weather is likely to
be pleasant.
Touches Of early snow, with high
barometer, cold winds and frosts dur.
ing the nights. are predicted for the
latter part Of the month.

SCHOOL ROOMS
OvERCROWDED

| At special meeting of the School
Board Tuesday in order to relieve
overcrOwding it was decided to reopen
the Grammar School of the Fourth
Ward. which has been closed for some
years past. Miss Bloom was elected
| principal.
Borough Superintendent Gordy in
addressing the Board explained that
the opening of the schools on Monday y
revealed that two of the rooms were
very much overorowded. One of these
was the third school of the Second
Ward and the other. the Third Ward
Grammar school where the excess is
so heavy as to preclude good results on
the part of the teacher. The seats in
the Third Ward room are sufficient to
accommodate only As pupils. while the
number enrolled since Monday is 62.
The Board, he said. had two alterna-
tives before it; one was to cut out
all the non resident pupils and the
other was to reopen the grammar
school of the Fourth Ward The form.
or he did not think was to be recon.
mended for various reasons principal
among which was the fact that while
it might relieve the situation some
what it would not wholly overcome
the difficulty. Of the SO pupils in the
Third Ward Grammar school 80 live
in the Fourth Ward, which would
seem to be an argument in favor of re-
opening the grammar school in that
ward
The matter was discussed at length,
the ootcome being, first that the trans
fer Of ten pupils from the third school
of the Second Wrad to the third school
of the First Ward was sanctioned by
the Board and, second, that. on motion
OF Mr.. Greene, it was decided to re.
Ward.
On motion of Mr.. Burns, Miss Bloom,
present Senior Secondary teacher of
the Fourth Ward. was elected as Prin-
oipal at salary of $50 per month
with the IS additional which goes
with the principalship. Both measures
carried without dissenting voice.
Miss Blooms place in the fifth grade
was filled by promoting Miss James
from the fourth grade, whose place in
turn was filed by the promotion of
Miss Bird from the third grade. The
school left vacant by Miss Bird was
filled by the promotion of Miss Rog-
ers, substitute teacher.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer the Build
ing and Repair Committee were in
structed to have the room in the an
mex at the Fourth Ward cleaned and
put in readiness for occupancy.
Mr.. Pursel reported the flag pole on
the Second Ward school grounds as
decayiDg and unsafe. On motion he
was requested to see to it that the pole
is taken down aud new one erected

LAYING TRACK
ON MILL STREET

The Danville and Bloomsbury Street
Railway Company yesterday began the
work Of laying its track OH Mill street.
Beginning at Market street the track
was laid nearly as far as Mahoning
street. The work will be resumed this
morning and the track completed as
far as Hotel Oliver. The rail used on
Mill street is the large six.inoh-high T
rail. such as generally used where
streets are paved.
A switch was placed in the track at
the intersection of Market street yes
terday and the Danville and Blooms
burg Street Railway will further prove
its good faith in declaring its inten-
tion to 60 to the Hospital by immedi-
ately beginning the construction Of
the track along East Market street. A
portion OF the rails and ties have al
ready heen delivered on the ground
and the actual work of laying the
track along East Market street may
begin today. The rail here to be used
will be the ~ inch I rail, the same
as employed on Bloom street. While
completing the curve and until getting
beyond the intersection Of Mill and
Market streets the heavier six inch
rail will be used.
The Danville and Bloomsbury Street
Railway Company contemplates con-
structing q loop by traversing in addi-
tion to Mill and East Market streets,
Foust street. Grand and Water streets,
emerging upon Mill street at the
bridge.
Our citizens are very much gratified
with the rapidity with which the Dan
Vile aud Bloomsbury Street Railway
Company is carrying the work forward
to completion as we'll as the manner
in which it has carried out all the
promises made to the public. This
holds good not only In this city where
in the next few days track will be
laid to the Hospital. but also all along
the line where the Company has lived
faithfully up to its obligations and
speedily constructed a road. which
will rank with the finest in the State.
