CLOSING UP THB YEAR'S WORK, The Superintendent notified the Board that by tho next meeting the schools would be closed or dosing. All arrangements had been made for the examination. The graduating class of the High School would be examined from the 16th to tbe 20th of June, and tbe graduating exercises would be held on tbe 2dtb There would be thirteen graduates. The schools would close on tbe 30th of June.

It wguld be impossible to close them sooner. As to the system of honorary promotion the Superintendent bad nothing to say except In praise. The results had been very beneficial; yet a good many who got tbe required per cent, would fall to get that promotion, because in many olasses over the allowable, onelhird of tbe class would get the required per cent. In some classes there would be from a half to twotbirds who would get tbe 85 per and the honorary promotions in such cases would be the one-third of the class having the higher per cent. The iutroduotion of the system had Induced a higher per centage as a whole than had ever been attained before In some second grade olasses over one-half tbe members had tbe required per cent.

-AND tbi. bsantirol city and observe those Is Latest Market (uotatlons Crop Prospects. Tbe orop about Milton will be about an average one for hat section, report says, but the outlook is not as favorable as ft was last year. At Faruilngtou there are 1,600 tons of wheat in store. Crops promise as well aa last season.

The fields look well aud the winds have done but lit tie damage. Advices from Oakdale and vicinity say that the barley crop will be large. Theaoreageof grain Is larger than last year, but In many places tbe north winds have ruined the prospects, Here and there a field promises well, but except on fallowed lands the yield will be light, The lower division of Roberts Island looks well. The grain there has come out wonderfully within the past two weeks. Mr.

Ferris has 10,000 acres that will yield 80 bushels per acre. The upper division is not so good, but much of it promises well. Home of Fishers grain looks nice. Potatoes have suffered Irom late frosts, ol which there were tlirfe. There la about the usual quantity of barley on the island.

McLaren Brothers have 1, GOO acres of wheat on Union Island which look promising. It is too soon yet to decide on the wheat crop of tbe county. Tin val-ley is spotted, some places looking well and others poor. The late heat and wind have hurt the crop some-what, and no one makes tbs prospect as a whole as good as last year. There is iu Stockton to-day 12,660 tons of wheat against 50,000 tons a year ago.

Tbe market is dull, very little being doing.

Tbe Turk Is spurred on to deeds of bravery by promises of happiness aud bourls. The Christian tights bravely through lifes troubles through the bop. of enjoying Heaven; and the average Slooktouian lives here, pays taxes, unceasingly ourses the railroads and Foundmsster, all through the hope that one day he may be elected lo tbe Court-house.

This old building is like an oasis in our desert. It is the star o( our hopes, and, Instead of teariog this down, I would build one like It on every square in the city. I would, aa it were, increase the number of oases aud stars, amithis would increase the population of the city us many Told as as there are squares in It. For if one Court-house supports a population of 12,000 in expeotanoy and hope, four Court-houses should support 48,000 peoplo on the same kind at fodder. Gentlemen, let us bury the hatchet let ua bury the Chinaman, but let us agitate for more Court-houses, If you want to prove to the world that we were all born with certain inalienable rights, among which la the right to hold offlee.

A LAST WORD.

Trustee Yardley rose to a question of privilege. Since tbe last meeting of tbe Board Miss Stier had taken exception to what he had said about tbe case of discipline, and had caused to be published in three papers of the city an assertion that he had mlsrep resented the case and had made ex aggerated statements concerning it. He had the certificate of tbe parents of the boy punished that the state, ments make by him were true.

Advantugi the Wet Slide and llubfriB Island. A West Side former was accosted on Main street Ibis morning by a Roberts Islaud farmer from the lower division. Said tbe latter Well, how do tbe remains of crops look out your way? Pretty bad. Do you think you will save your seed this year? Just about." Why don't you come down on the Island and leave that God-forsaken West Side to the horned toads and the owls I dont know. Perhaps its because Ive been there eight years and cant get enough to move away with.

Anyhow I'd rather take my chances in a half desert, than to go down to the Island and get drowned out every second year." Youre mistaken about that, my friend. The gophers are oar worst enemies down there, and they learned a trick of eating holes through the levee, but weve been investing in strychnine lately and the gophers are getting scarce." I dout believe a word of it. The gophers out our way get fat on strychnine and Increase their families every year. Theyre worse than potatoes in Ireland." Then weve a troop of cats down there that aie sure death on gophers. Who fee ds tho cats Tho gophers.

Dont you fellers have to stay up every night at this season of tbe year and patrol the levees No, sir we have a man or two on the lookout now, but after the snow melts in the mountains we wont be bothered any more." I heard that all the houses on the Island were rigged ap with rudders and water-tight cellars." Its a darned lie," So I thought. Lets drink. Embeszlcmcnt or Forgery. It is possible that a new phase of the oase may be presented at the examination next Monday of J. J.

Griffin before the Police Coart on the charge of embezzling $21 from Stewart Smith. That firm knows nothing of the case as presented by Mr. Messickat preseut. On the 24th of May Mr. Griffin presented an order from Mr.

Messick on Stewart A Smith for $60 and got tbe money. An examination of the order shows that it has been raised from $40, but by whom cannot by the payers be told. The order reads Please pay J. J. Griffin on order $60.00." The figures are small and the 6 is blotted, but the form of a 4 can be seen through the incumbent blot.

Further on in the order, whioh is a letter as well, the words Forty Dollars" occur again, and tbe For has been ohanged to Six. Messrs. Stewart A Smith paid the $60; and if Mr. Griffin did tbe raising" he is guilty of forgery. In the note Mr.

Messick says that Mr. Griffin had been at work chopping wood and wanted to go harvesting. Griffin, when he got the money, said his hand was sore and he could not write, hence he was allowed to make his mark. The Po.toflice Nuisance. The boxes erected ou the street corners and olher convenient locations by the private mail oarriers, paid by the citizens for some years past to carry the mails to and from the Post-office, were taken down this morning.

This action was made necessary by the recent order from the Postoffice Department prohibiting the delivery of the mails by private carriers, and obliging business men and others to go to the Postoffice with their letters and papers, and to stand in line at the delivery window if they have been so unfortunate as to neglect having secured boxes. Considerable indignation was expressed to-day over the matter, and the prediction was made that the action of the postal authorities would lose the Bepubliean party two hundred votes in this oity at the coming election. High Water. Farmers on the islands do not sleep well now. The river is booming, and the hot weather is sending all the water tbe channels can carry.

far the levees have stood the strain put upon them, but the moon fulls to-night and there will be a full tide contend against. Men are on guard Roberta Island, Bouldin Island, Union Island and Staten Island. Tho Mokelumne hae not been so high this year, and. it la oomlng up rapidly. As yet no particular damage has been done, but tbe bottoms are covered and tbe levees bank full.

A GUa SlockiuffbLrde There is a Gila river mookingbkd at tbe express office and he makes more music than a circus. Last night two cats got to fighting at Devon's, next door, and he made them ashamed of their sieging. To-day he has amused tbe whole street byre-hearsing the lesson learned of the cats, aud by wbistliog up at tbe same time all the dogs in the neighborhood. Sometimes he remembers that he is a bird and becomes a chorus of warblers, giving Imitations of all the noted singers from wren to skylark. Police Judge's Report.

Chinese Testimony Barred. Oq Monday last a Chiuaman was called as a witness in Justice of the Peace Meekers Court in Lodi.

When the Mongolian made bis appearance one of the jurors intimated that it would be a wuste of time to take the testimony of the witness, as the juror would not believe a Chinaman under oath.

W. Sperry from tbe Committee on Finance to the Committee on Transportation. H. 8. Nargent and J.

W. Smith were appointed from the Board to act with tbe Committee on Transporta-tion to interview the Central Pacific Railroad company concerning certain modifications of freight tariffs. Tbe President was given time In which to name the members of a committee to take into consideration the construction of a road to Roberta Island aud matters of that character. The President was authorized to appoint a committee of ten for tbe purpose of arranging for a banquet to eelebrate the organization of the Board. Mr.

Selby, Engineer of tbe Oakland A Mt. Diablo Railroad Company, stated that originally his company was organized for the purpose of building a road to Mt. Diablo, but tbe projectors were considering the advisability of continuing it to Stock-ton, if it should be found practicable to build the road across the tule lauds west of Stockton. He had come to obtain information upon that poiut. Mr.

Ferris, Superintendent of the Glasgow Land Company, stated that he considered tbe proposition of building a road upon an air line from Stockton to tho high lauds west of the San Joaquin river virtually impracticable; yet he believed a road oould be constructed over a route which would be very much shorter than the road operated between Stockton and Brentwood by the Central Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Selby stated that he was not prepared to make any definite proposition to the Board, but he wanted to meet Its representatives either in Stockton, Oakland or San Francisco, with other representatives of bis company, when an explicit statement of the object of the projectors of the enterprise would be made. A JUDGE OX TRIAL. J.

Stone of Ripou Before a Jnry for Battery. J. J. Stone, Justice of the Peace at Ripon, was tried before a jury in Justice Scanlans Court this afternoon on a charge of battery, preferred by George Pygall. The complaining witness testified that he went to the hotel at Ripon on the 13th of last month to collect the amount of a bill due from the defendant to him.

The latter refused to pay the bill and hot words ensued, followed by the striking of Pygall with a oane in the hands of Stone. Stone stooped bis head and attempted to play billy goat on the witness. Witness struck the defaudant with his fist on tbe top of the head, but made no further demonstration. The amount of the bill presented to the defendant by tbe witness was $1.50 for money loaned one of Stones ern ployes by the witness. Stone deuied that he had agreed to pay the bill.

Id give $25 if I knew where that boy was, added tbe witness. He is honest. The Court hinted that the opinion of the witness was not wanted. M. Curtis testified that Stone and Pygall had bad words together over tbe matter of a blii.

Witness was playing cards at the time, and saw Stone strike Pygall in the face with a cane. The latter went outside and washed tbe blood off bis face. Stone came up agaiu and got into a souffie with Pygall, tbe latter being thrown down. The witness pulled Stone off of Pygall. Witness saw that Stones brad was bleeding but did not see Pygall strike him.

Another witness testified that after the fight Stone had a cut In bis scalp. The wound was deep enough for the witness to put his finger into. The case was in progress when this report closed.

Spring has opened with the brightest prospects. Hope smiles over this fertile valley as it never smiled before. Oa the strength of this I have made larger purchases of goods suitable for my trade than ever before. I have bought my new stock at lower figures than in years gone by. It consists of the finest selections of the very latest imported goods French, Engli-h, Scotch, German and American oloths, cassimers and tweeds of the newest and most attractive patterns.

I defy all competition in workmanship and in style. I have no fear or hesitation in proclaiming this, for ail the work done at my establishment acknowledged to be the leading merchant tailoring house in the city is cut and made in accordance with all the latest improvements in the clothing art. I have reduced prices to such figures that the working class can dress aa well as bankers or millionaires. I would wish to impress on the minds of the people of this eommunity that I have lived here as a business man since 1869. spending and investing all my earn iags in this city.

I employ from eight to fifteen first-class workmen, who also spend their wages here. Why then should we not be patronized by the people of Stockton in preference to employers and workmen in other places? There is no need of geuding your orders for clothing elsewhere, as you can get from us suits as well made and at prices just as cheap as you cau in the Fast or in San Franoiico. Therefore you should assist home manufactures. Hundreds of people have sent their orders away for clothing. and in nine cases out of ten were disappointed, and eventually brought back their custom to me.

Do not be deoeived by those drummers who come here every season, who promise what they cannot perform, and whose interests are not identified with Stockton or its people. In conclusion I would earnestly advise all who intend to purchase Spring or Summer suits for dress or for business, to call aod examine my large assortment of cloths of all kinds. Get my prices. Consider that a fit will be guaranteed you, and that as a citizen of Stookton yon should patronize the industries and manufactures of the place you live in, if as good and as cheap as you can -get them elsewhere, and, after thus considering, purchase where yon please.
