A Squirts ex principal of the Boise pub ic schools; State Super-, iateudent of Public Ii.nruciion ilarr.un aid Scale Auiitor Moody are implicated. It is said that some ume last winter a I “Bureau of Elucation" was organized here with the members mentioned above; that; advertisements were inserted in pipers in; Dm south and southwest portions of the United States, and circulars sent out to the effect that teachers were in grrat demand in 1 1 Jabo that wag-s were from $75 to $200 per month, and that by seodiag a fee or $2 to the Bureau teiebers would be pat in tne way of good politic ns here, they to pay in addition to the fee 10 percent, of their brat year's salary. As a matter of fact there are more teach er# here now than can secure positions, while the wages are much lower than ihote mentioned in tue bu-eau. It is said that in answer to their letters and advertisements large amounts poured j into the treasury of the Bureau. Fraud is charged by the postal authorities, who have had the matter uDder investigation. Squir*t it wit hout an unseemly j contest on the fl )or f tbe convention.

C onfederate Flag Flyingin Texas. Washington, Dec. 24 —Information has beeu received at the poex rti .te depart* ment, which is belie' d ctP.rdly in the bullt liu juai issued by the Ma igba department of agriculture as 23 l81.59Sbushels, which added to tbe yield of the Irritoriea, wi l make 30.OOO.oOO bushels d wheat alone j for the Canadian Northwest The enormous and unpfeedented crop j hss reudeied It rather ditli jlt for the got- eminent to obtain the reirns of the bar- j vest, and from two impofani districts—, Brandon and Mnrden- no feturna had, at laat accounts, been reeei$d. When they n are, it is probable that the* will greatly in crease the yield. It it alt expected that, as in former years, the ero! when threshed j out, will exceed, by a gnat amount, tbe estimate. The estimated Jeld this year n j •'50,000 bushels in ixcess of that of last year being an average yield of 25 3 hoshela to the acre, as an*i*t 21 1 bushels last year. The other grain crops *t proportionately go-.d, the yield of oats peing 5.2CO.OOO bushels more than last yet, an average in ert ase of 7 bushels to the^cre. and tliat of barley being nearly 1,20* 000 bushels in excess of tbe 1890 crop, d an average in create of 1 1 2 bushels ai*cre. It is noiicable that the field of potatoes haa rather fallen off in thl prairie provine?, i being some half million! busb.ds. or au average of 50 bushels u be acre less than tbe yield of 1890. This a the more re- j markable as elsewhere ini'anada the pn'a- j to crop has been excerively good and abundant. The cause of this decrease is stated to be the lasting *iu at the early summer, which caused defcy in ♦he young tubers In some instance the yield was over 400 bushels to tbe acr. t Tho province seems o have suffered greatlv, s i far as harvgting operanons j i went, at any rate, from thocarcity of farm laborers, and not only copiderable incon- i venience bu; serious lots is resulted from this. Large numbers ot laborers were t taken into the province bjtbe farm labor- ers excursions, but t!i»9*k*re only like a j, I drop in a bucket, and cer^inly twice the j j r umber could have found fork for at least J three months from tbe cgnmencement of i harvest op-rations Marjeiing grain ts j 1 iste this year as. owing to tje lack of labor, j thrashing has baen inucndelayed, and in many townships a great sefeity of thraah- i ing msebmes is repirtei As a cjnse- j quence but liUle gram! comparatively j j tweaking. has been brought to market. I One thing appears evidat from the na ture of the reports sent In that is, that j farmers are attempting a crop more land i 1 than they can properly »ter.d to, in Mam- tuba, unless they have more help The I I cmstqience of this tend to various evils, I annr.g them being one vey nouceable one —an increase of weed- alsing from imper- feet cultivation. Anothe evil this year is i that fall plowing is great! behind, not half as much beirg Cone tbiayear as bad been i at the same season laat vOr. THE liRAVESIKIAl..

Mass. The couple came to the house about 11 .10 last night The murdert-r es caped by means of the fire escape. The reputation of the Sadburv Dou'e is not of j the best. The murdered woman was seen at the i corner of Washington and Hanover streets in compary with two men. The men were quarrelling and one, tbe supposed inur aerer, pulled a rtvolver acd threatened to i shoot the other. The woman got her companion into a herdic and they were driven to the Sudbury House. The oilier man ran after a cab and reached the hotel first and was at the door when the others arrived, but there was ro demonstration of i any kind. While 8cannell was registering tbe clerk called Lis attention to a document protrud- i tog from bis pocket. Scannell said it was the deed of a house he had just bought and t paid 9JOO on it. The general theory is that [he msn had fallen asleep, that the woman itlempted to rob him. and that on being i iwakened he sbot her. La w bbbcs, Mass Dec. 24 —There is a Roger T.
