According to the almanac there are hut three more date of summer These last clays are true summer ones.

The temperature yesterday wps not so high as it has been at several times this season, but the air was so full of hot, sticky moisture that it became very appressive. Today is not much better.

The Supreme court of Indiana will be in session on Friday and it is rumored they will take up the matter involving the constitutionality of the time of electing county school superintendents.

Young lady school teachers at AY r estchester, Pa., are required to sign an agreement not to get married during the year tor wliich they are appointed. There is no rule against courting, provided it is done out of school hours. The board says it is by no means opposed to matrimony, but that it has found such an agreement necessary in order to prevent breaks in the corps of teachers at inconvenient times. The Banner Times knows of no such rule here, but believes it is a good thing.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLSI City Schools to Open September !l. News Concerning Them, The city schools will open Sep tember 9. The superintendent will be in his otlice in tiie public libra ry on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 3. 1, 5 and (5, from !» to 12 o’clock, to examine ail persons who wish to be assigned to grades. Those who were in high school with some work hack on which they wish to be examined, will notify the teacher of that branch and report at the high school building at nine o’clock on Thursday, September 5, for the examination. The teachers’ meeting preparatory to the opening will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7, at nine o’clock, and the superintendent will not be able to see pupils on that day. For two or three years the high school has been hampered in its work for want of room and the board bus frequently canvassed the question of remedying the difficulty. There were five teachers employed and the superintendent taught one class daily, and yet there were only four rooms including the assembly room and a very small room formerly used as the superintendent’s office. It seems evident that the senior class will this year be so large as to necessitate'dividing it, thus rendering it impossible to hear all the classes, and the board was driven to the necessity ot making some provision. The only feasible plan they could find was to remove the pupils of some of the lower grades to building No. 4 until better arrangements could be made. As this would increase the average distance ot pupils, it was decided to place there the higher grades, the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. It was very undesirable thus to separate the grades below the high school but there was nothing better to be done. The upper rooms of No. 4 were never finished. The two lower rooms which have before been used have been put into good condition and repapered. For a year or two the board has felt that the rate of tuition in the high school was too low as it did not equal the cost of educating scholars as was shown by dividing the cost ot the school by the number of scholars. And so at the close of the last year in May the price of tuition was made ij!20 a year instead of .tl2. There was no change in the rate below the high school. This action had no reference to the recent decision regarding the payment of tuition by town ship trustees as it was not then known. R. A. Ogg.

resolutions better than anyone and he was never known to “holler nuff” before last night. When it is considered that the temperature marked 111 in the shade ^oi the electric light) and half of the councilmen were in their shirt, sleeves, there is no mystery about the Miller motion. The council decided unanimously not to build a canal on Arling ton street but resoluted to establish a new grade upon the basis of the present surface of the street from Franklin to Anderson street, and to widen the thoroughfare to a uniform width of 44 feet. To this end preliminary motions and resolutions were passed to call out the city commissioners, and their meet ing is set for September 17. There is a passel of trouble in getting Arlington street in shape for repair and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to save all the resolutions, motions ami reports that will necessarily be made, for ballast, as they would fill a huge hole. The report of the secretary of Forest Hill cemetery was referred to the finance committee. By reason of the division of tax paying into two installments and by further reason that most of the city expenses fall lue between the payments, the city finds itself in need of ready money. The treasurer estimated he would need $3000 until the tax money again began coining in, so a motion was passed that Mayor Birch be empowered to negotiate a loan of $3000 for ninety days at a rate of interest not to exceed six percent. This can he placed it is thought at premium enough to bring the rate down to about five per cent. Rile}’ moved that the street force be increased two or three members on account of increased work, weed cutting, etc. The street committee was empowered to act in the matter. Bicycles were discussed. It was proposed to have each rider put a lantern and a gong on his wheel, and an ordinance prohibiting the bicyclists the use of the side walk was talked of but the matter dropped out of sight. If the wheels increase there may be need of an ordinance. The county commissioners have constructed a toilet room exclusively for ladies and located it upon the jail yard. The council agreed to donate the services of the street force in placing the county tile in position. Riley reported that the Vandalia had repaired the Bloomington street crossing but had not widened it as he contemplated in his original motion. The company will be asked to widen it as it is not much better than it was as it is now too narrow. The claim ordinance scored up as follows:

Arbor. Mr. Bigliam has had a very interesting career us a student and teacher. He is a graduate of the classical course of Amherst college in the class of ’87 and received the commencement prize of $100 for the best graduating oration. In 1890 he received the degree of Master of Arts from Amherst, in 1892 the degree of Bachelor of Divinity at Yale, in 1893 the degree of Master of Arts from Harvard, in 1894 the Ph. I). at Harvard. During the past year he has been instructor in psychology and philosophy in the University of Michigan and has taken high rank as a very successful teacher. He has been trained in philosophy under such men as Pres, Seelye, and Prof. Garman, of Amherst, and at Harvard with Doctors Munsterburg, Royce and James. Dr. Henry S. Carhart of the University of Michigan, states: “The laboratory work of Dr, Bigham in experimental psychology has had a large increase in attendance during the year. He has had the best opportunities and has been a diligent student, He is now a mature man in every way, of excellent spirit and temperament, and I hope DePauw will give him a chance to make a mark.” Dr. Camden M. Coburn, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Ann Arbor, states: “Dr. Bigham is a noble, Christiam man, a member of our church, who has had the best possible advantages of schol arshipand has proved himself a fine instructor. With his superior character and Methodist zeal and willingness to work united with his Yale and Harvard training it would seem that he ought to be a very excellent man for any school.” Similar statements have been received from Dr. McChesney of Cincinnati, Dr. Albert Vail of New Haven, Conn., and Dr. Charles F. Rice of Cambridge, Mass. The Committee received a telegram from Bishop Vincent at Chautauqua, N. Y. saying, ’•I think you cau make no mistake in engaging John Bigham for the chair of Philosophy.” For some time it was feared that the inability of the Committee to offer a salary that would be satisfactory to Dr. Bigham would result in a failure to secure him, but his Methodist zeal made him willing to accept a position in a Methodist school at a financial sacrifice. Dr. Bigham is about thirty-one years of age. His family consists of his mother and sister. They will rent a cottage and keep house and will constitute a very delightful acquisition to Greencastle

society.

Distress After Eating Sufferers from dyspepsia and indigestion are among the most miserable people on earth. “I was a great sufferer from indigestion. I got so bad I could scarcely walk. Everything I ate hurt me and I could retain very little on my stomach. I tried prescriptions, but my trouble only grew worse. My wife was taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier, and induced me to try it. I took a few doses from her bottle, and was greatly relieved. I then took three more bottles, and am entirely cured. I am able to eat heartily without any distress. I cheerfully recommend flood’s Sarsaparilla.’’ H. W. Nickkrson, Pikes Peak, Indiana.
