CrosswelI graded school. This
school opened on the 18th inst.
and continued for two consecutive
weeks with a very flatterlng at
tendance, especially for The first
efort made by the teachers Of the
county. 1t was very evident the
first day of said school that neither
the State Superintendent nor the
County superintendent had made
any mistake in securing the SER
vices of Prof. Simpson to do this
most complicated, high. toned and
dIgnlfied work, as he proved him
self throughout the session to he
amply equal to the emergency.
We took up the common primary
branches usually taught in the ru-
raj schools and went from the
known to tie unknown, and took
it step by step through the guild

On Thursday of the first week we
had quite a treat in the way Of a |
lecture from Rev. l.. G. Gregg,

That Rev. Gregg is an orator and
leader is beyond question. But
the greatest treat Of the session
was a lecture by the Rev. Mathe.

Attorney General Moody Will resign

ment Of Justice as Attorney General. II
IS learned today on unquestionable au-
thcritv.
When Mr.. Bonaparte entered the Cabi-
net on July l last. IT was with the def
mite understanding that he would only
remain as Secretary of the Navy for
a period not exceeding one year. and
that he would then be transferred to
the Department Of Justice.
Attorney General Moody. so it is
stated. has long been anxious 10 leave
the Cabinet and resume the practice OF
law in Massachusetts. 1t is known that
he has an understanding with the Presi-
dent that he VIII resign next spring.

From no less an authority comes an
other statement concerning Cabinet re-

to make Postmaster General Cortelyou

anything Of the kind.

is added, VIII be new man TO the Cab
met circle.
This statement. made on an authority
than which none is closer to the Presi-
dent. sets forth that the developments
in New York's insurance investigation
have not changed the Presidents mind
about the propriety of making Mr.. Cor
telyou head of the Treasury for the
excellent reason that no such move
was ever determined upon
The change OF Mr. Bonaparte to the
Department of Justice would be strictly
in line with his ambitions and interests
and likewise would be accepted by the
country as an assurance that the pro-
| gresSIVe policy toward corporation and
trust issues would be continued. and
matters now pending. in this depart
ment would be pressed with increased
vigor.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, June 3.-Today's small
business in stocks represented nothing
more than testing operations by pro-
fessional traders. Some special atten-
ton was devoted to Reading on pro-
fessed confidence in a coming increase
i'm. the dividend on Central Railroad of
New Jersey. and the Central of New
Jersey stock was marked up over z
points in consequence. The demand for
Amalgamated Copper was associated
with the coming annual meeting on
Monday and the circulation of rumors
that some sort of financial statement
was to be issued by the corporation at
that meeting. The board room trad
ers attracted little following in their
ventures, and prices sold off again
when limitations got abroad of the
unfavorabIe character of the coming
bank statement. The 100000
shrinkage in the cash held was far in
excess of preliminary estimates, based
on the known movements of money.
The large decrease was attributed to
Withdrawals by the trust companies in
connection With some important syn

called in this week. Amalgamated

Beginning near Rock Creek postoffice
it's path ran in a southeasterly direc-
ton covering a territory from three to
five miles wide for twenty miles.
Hailstones as large as hen eggs and
drifts knee deep We're seen in many
places. Crops suffered greatly. Hun
dreds of acres of wheat blown down
and broken beyond all saving. Far
mers whose crops promised a yield OF
from three to five hundred bushels will
not harvest a grain. Corn was gener-

broken off at the ground. Gardens
ruined and hundreds of trees uproor-

buildings, but fortunately no one was
