It does not contemplate the publication of a new series of books, but the contracting by the State Board of Education with publishers to supply children with text books at a rate from forty to fifty per cent lower than current rates.

The proposals from publishers were opened May 27th- None of them werQ in accordance with the terras of tbe law. and but one in the form of a bid. Tho commisKorers rejected all bids.

They report the Neosho River six miles wide and other streams in proportion. One nan said he counted 73 teams hauling wheat out of the Neosho River bottom. The Virdigris River was bank full and at Independence was rising at the rate of an inch per hour. A private letter received this week from Illinois states that the long and dreary drought that has prevailed there for ten months or more has at last been broken; and while the crops are backward from lack of rain they are now growing very fast and if the season is favorable from now on they will have an a-bundant harvest of most of the sereals. in religous matters at least.

The evangelist was telling a story which We here dy appoint B. F.
