Whita thara has been avldsot a poalUw Inclination to Inorsaaa the acreage of winter wheat for the crop of I8M, It is by so meana certain this will be ac•ompltshed. On account of the drought ls> many parts of the winter wheat belt seeding operatlons.ere very much behind, and over a portion of the country practically at a standstill Only a part of what ought to be In the ground at this data Is now seeded, and what Is sown Is making but Uttla progress in growth. In some districts It is already at tha danger point of final death, but if rains coma within ten days the acreage planted to winter wheat will ha larger than last year. At the same time it la so late as to be in need of an exceptionally favor-

able winter. ;

High

Philadelphia, October 12.-“Les Miser- tor home. His wife 1b much better.

able*.'' Victor Hugo's masterpiece o* fiction and sociology, has been barred out of the Girls’ High Bchool of this city on the ground that It Is impure. An animated discussion preceded the decision of the committee of the Board of Education. William D. Rorrer, principal of the school, presented to the committee a lint of text books required by It. Chairman Norton looked over the titles, and when he spied “Les Miserabies” In French, he Instantly objected, declaring that he regarded the work as decidedly Improper to put In the hands of high school girls. Richardson L. Wright, a member of the committee, had read the work, and said he regarded it as "perfectly shocking In Its relation to the French side of life." ‘Tt Is wholly Improper," he added, “to put It In the hands of pupils, even If they are French

students.”

Mrs. Mary E. Mumford. the only woman member of the committee, was the only defender of Hugo’s work, but her solitary protest was speedily overruled. She said it had deubtless been recommended as being typical of the highest

classical French literature.

Chairman Norton thus expressed his views; ‘My objection Is to the tone of the book. It deals, as any one who has read it knows, with the grisettes of France. That In Itself Is condemnatory. I think that we who have charge of the public schools have a sacred trust, and we can not be too cautious In setting before the young girls and boys that which detracts from their Ideals of virtue and purity. Their parents hold us responsible and we owe a duty to them and to the girls. If the book is In a —- „ . , ^ ...» ^ — tOT the

Ind., October 12.—Superintendent Thompson, of the Evansville ft Richmond railroad, states that means to rebuild the east end of that line have been obtained, and that work will begin at once &t both ends of the line, with bridge men. pile-drivers and exoavatlng tools necessary to put the road In flrst-clasa running order. The work wt$fch had been done heretofore on the east end was solely for the purpose of getting out a lot of Pennsylvania cars that were stranded at different points along the line, and was of a flimsy character, unfit for the use of trains. The Evansville ft Richmond has cut entirely loose from the Evansville ft Terre Haute, and will be operated from this city. Superintendent Thompson lives here, and General Fruwenger Agent Rose man wit! move to Bedford. The road will be equipped with Us own rolling stock. It is generally believed here that the county seat removal party at Seymour has put up a good part of the required funds, as the running order of this railroad is absolutely necessary to bring the eastern and northern portions of Jackson county in close com municatlon with Seymour, a condition essential to the removal of the Jackson county court-houae from Brownstown to Seymour.
