The teachers of the city public Bchools, at their meeting, the proceedings of which was published in these columns yesterday, have solved a problem that was worrying some of the patrons of the schools.

And their very liberal proposition entitles them to sincere thanks of the community. The coarse of study adopted by the school board requires an eight-montb term, but the board was only able to provide for a seven-month term. To remedy this the teachers were requested to open their schools and teach four weeks in October on private account, the regular terra to beghi November 1. Then the point was raised that poorer children who could not afford to pay tuition would be deprived of the first month's study. Then it was that the public spirit 60 One Month We Chip the Dove New Mess Mackerel.

Common soda is- ail right in its place and' indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but was never intended for a medicine, and people who nse it as such will some day regret it.

We refer to the eommon use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. Th soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestines, causing death by inflaiuation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlai.dson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation, sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison blood and nervous system.

Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases' and weakness and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. i All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c. per package.

R. PITT IMili GO. 11 Si Drayman Start a Ferry System and Reap a Harvest of Nickels Total Rainfall for 48 Hours 11:45 Inches More Rain To-Nlght, Followed Possibly hy a Cold Wave. The accommodating observer of the weather bureau, Mr. A.

B. Crane, made a research of the records for nineteen years for The News today and-says the rainfall for the forty-eight houra ending at 11:21 this morning is unprecedented in the history of this station. The rain storm began at 11 :21 a. m. September 28, and it continued all that day, all day yesterday, all last night and the griper portion of this forenoon.

The rainfall for the 48 hours ending; at 11:91 this morning was 11 :45 The rainfall from 8 o'clock last night to 8 o'clock this morning was 4.34 inches. IJp to noon yesterday there had been a rainfall of 6:35 inches; from noon to 8 p. in- the rainfall was .66 inches; from 8 p. m. to 8 a.

m. this morning it was 4.34 inches and from 8 a. m. to 11:21 a. m.

it was .10 inches, making the total for the 48 hours, as announced in the foregoing, 11.45 inches. The rainfall for the month has been 17-36 inches, an excess of about 12.48 inches for the month and of 9.93 inches since January 1. While there has been nu48'consec-utive hours record to equal this rainfall, there was a greater 24-hour record on Aug. 2 and 3, 1881. when for that period the rainfall was 8.67 inches.

The year 1881 also broke all records for annnal rainfall, the precipitation for that year being 80.02 inches. A continuous rainfall until 11.45 inches is reached is very near a flood, the truth of which is illustrated by Pensacola's streets. Out on West Hill Butcher Pen pond filled, broke its banks and sent a rushing torrent down the valleys. The water rose under the houses around the poud and in some of them the water was from twelve to fourteen inches deep in the houses. It was impossible for pedestrians in that region to walk down town, but the enterprising draymen who live in the neighborhood came to their rescue and inaugurated a dray ferry system, charging passengers five cents to haul them to the hills.

Around Wright's, mill the tracks of the electric belt line were covered with water and the car service was discontinued on that line for several hours. The conveyor of the grain elevator settled and. was twisted by yesterday's blow, but was braced and can be put back in plumb in a short while. f-; The Norwegian ship Bellevue, which went aground yesterday near Perdido wharf is still stuck. The waves having receded she is now in only twelve feet of water.

An effort was made this morning to float her but it was at the time unsuccessful It is hoped, however, that she will be floated during the day without damage. Four of Saunders Go's fishing smacks weathered the storm and came in last night. Owing to the storm the Walka-tomica did not make her regular trip to Milton yesterday. There were no sailings either yesterday or to-day. In his official synopsis of the weather this morning Observer A.

B.Crane says: "Again this morning the storm cectre appears central near Galveston; it has advanced inland, however, and is now affecting the western sections as well as the entire Gulf district. "The barometer at Galveston read 29.66 inches. "Heavy rainfalls have occurred all through the central cotton belt as follows: Memphis, 1.36; Vicksburg, 1.70 New Orleans, 2.24 Mobile, 5.00 aud Pensacola 6.02 within the last 24 hours. "The wind has subsided somewhat on the coast, but is liable to freshen up to brisk to high on the central portions. "High barometer continues over the North Atlantic states; and the western storm is advanced to the lakes.

"A decided fall ia temperature is noted in the Missouri valley; Huron reports 30 degrees and St. Paul and Bismarck, 40." Everything in fishing tackle at the Willis Hardware Co's. It Conies Near Causing a Serious Fire. In his rounds at 2:10 this morning, night watchman William Steele, who is constantly on the alert, discovered a fire in the rear of the Willis Hardware Company's store. He tried to ring in an alarm box 27, but it would not work, so be ran around to Garden street and notified the firemen at truck houses Nos.

1 and 2. They broke in the door and found the fire had started iu a trash barrel in the rear of the store, quickly extinguishing the llameg by the use of fire extinguishers, thus "preventing any water damage to me stock. Mr. Steele also sent a hack for Mr. Willis.

He thinks someone must have thrown a lighted cigarette in the trash barrel during the afternoon. The loss was about $17, fully covered by insurance. Had it not been for the early discovery of the fire by Mr. Steele, the blaze would soon have been under such headway that the los would have been heavy. Mr.

Steele is an efficient watchman, having turned in nearly every fire alarm in the district he watches that has been sent in since he has been on duty. The future is uncertain, but if you keep your blood pure with Hood's Harsaparilla you may be sure of good health. I MAN ACT known. They met and agreed to begin the regular course of study next Monday, Oct. 3, admitting every pupil entitled to enter the public schools, whether they were able to pay or not.

The teachers must looks to the patrons of the school for remuneration for their services daring the month of October, but they have bravely agreed to assume the task, depending for remuneration only upon those who are entirely willing or able to pay, barring! no pupil, whether they receive pay for the tuition or not. This liberality should not go unrewarded. Those patrons who are able to pay should do so promptly and cheerfully, and they should see to it that these teachera receive as much pay for October as they will per month during the regular term. Those parents who are not able to pay tuition should not let false pride cause them to keep their children at home. The teachers have acted in good faith, with commendable public spirit, and it ia their desire that every child who intends to enter the public school should be on hand at 9 o'clock Monday morning ready to take up the new course of study.

Knral Mail Delivery. First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath has sent out a circular letter giving instructions how to secure rural free delivery. Those counties in Florida that have thickly populated farm districts should make application and have the system inaugurated in this state. The circular letter is as follows: The first step usually is for the citizens of tbe district to petition, through tbeir representative in congress, for the establishment of rural free delivery.

This petition boald set out the nature' of the country, whether it it thickly or sparsely populated, the leading avocation of the people, the character of the roads! whether good or bad, and the distance which petitioner has to travel to rend, under existing circumstance, to receive his mails. If the member of congress representing that district or the United States Senator residing therein familiar with local conditions should forward this petition to the Post Office Department, with a favorable indorsement, a special agent is then sent out to look over the ground to map out a suitable route or routes, to select carriers for appointment and to recommend the establishment of the service if in bis judgment it can be successfully and economically carried out.

A Dereliction of Duty. Editor Daily News. Very few of our fellow citizens are aware that the Federal constitution declares.

Section 8: cougress shall have power, "to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes." So it will readily be seen that it is a dereliction of duty on the part of congress, not to have already provided for the preventing of entry of foreign and epidemic diseases, Jin the line of regulation of commerce, with foreign nations, and also the regulation of commerce between the states. The latter would mean the enforcement of such regulations as would amply prot the ci izons and abolish all local jealousies, and the impudence of ignorance. HewallC.Cobb.'
