The OMorseekers Busily Engaged in Grasping the Farmers and Work- ingmen By the Hand and Soliciting Bis Vote. The Cares of Statehood. Hunow, Dak., July %—[Special to Tur Bre.|—he repubdlican party’s bilis aro out for salling. Its fivat state convention is called to moaet in this city on the v of August, just two months henco. This will allow only thirty-two days for the nominees to canvass the state, inasmuch as the election is fixed for October 1 by tho omni- bus bill. I3ut the central committee had re- gord to the wishes of the Farmers' allianco. In their convention of last week they ro- auestod each political party to defer its state convention until the first ten days of Sep- « tember, then the farmers will have to Joave their harvesting to attend them. Tho farmers aro greatly ploasod with the defer- enco thus paid to thelr wishes. Secretary Soderberg, of the Alliance, said to-day ““That dato is all right, We are perfectly satisfied with August 28, It has been stated as a rumor that John R. Gamble, of Yaukton, is a candidate for congress. This rumor has grown into fact, and the gentleman is asking the assistance of his muny friends o win a nomination. It makes four canlidates for wo scats, namely: McCoy, Matthews, Git- ford and Gambie, As 1t is thres months until clection, thore is ample time for the other candidates to como to the surface. Thero is a possibility that Captain H. A Humphrey, of Faulk connty, will soon be ndded to tho List. He is a brillians editor, a sturdy fighter, and has never faltered in s devotion to statetood and division, No other new names bgve appeared in tho papers this week, with the excention of that of Ion. Jobn D. Bennett, of Clark, for a supreme judgeship.: Thus far all the names presentod for nomination are of men of good ability and high character. At the Ilsmond picnic, June Mellette come out, flat-footed in fav hibition, So the liquor dealers are after his scalp. Ata meeting of the exccutive com- mittee of their association, held this woek in Yankton, his case was up for consideration. After a good deal of discussion, it was shown that the feeling was uuanimous that the Rovernor is not a safe man for them to have in the executive office. Final decision of avhat is best for them to do was postponed to the July mecting in Aberdeen. ‘I'ho friends of prohibition are so elated with his unguali- fled declarations for their pet measure that one of their lead yesterday in my hearing fellette suit us; I 1ook upon him asfthe best man all around in the republican party in ourstate. 1f thero is anything thut he wants we will do all wo can to help him to it.”” It is safe to say - that he will meet opposition, und have something of = fight for the gubernatorial nomination Judge Campbell pest—which 1s nothing unus: his alliance speecn he used th gnage, in speaking- of torial ' officer: “Directors * institutions award them tracts under ficiitious names their own bills.” against the inte has startled cv vernor of pro- our of the last three months, so the press is °chal- lenging the correctn of the ju. state- ment aud demanding the specifications and proof.

FLATTERING CROP PROSPECTS. An Incident Showing the Strained Relations Existing Between the Jobbers and the Railroads— Other Towa News, The Jobbers and the Roads, BurriNaton, Ia., July 2.—[Special to Tne Bk |—~The strained relations existing be- twoen the jobbers of Towa and the railroads are clearly shown by an incident that has just transpired here. Some time ago the plant of the Iowa Rolling Mill company at this place was burned. Capitalists inter- estod hesitated to rebuild because of the charge of $2 made by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road on every car load of material shipped in or out. The -case was strongly presented to President Ives, of the road, and a friendly answer was received from him, indicating that the matter would be adjusted. A few days ago, however, & letter was received from Mr. Ives in which that gentleman withdrew all friendly offors. He stated in substance that this was done because of the action of the jobbers of Bur- lington in filing with the railroad commis- sioners & comblaint that the rates of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern road are unreasonable and unjust. Ho said that his road had given theso shippers relief when other lines would not, that it had continued its favors after it had beceme advisable to withdraw them; that the road had only withdrawn these low rates when compelled to do 8o by the rate sheet of the Iowa com- missioners ana the lowa railroad law, and that now his road would certainly do noth- ing to favor or build up a class of men who not only fail to appreciate past favors, but who are domng what they can to ruin the road and tue men who gave them. It is probable that this attitude on the part of the road in question will send the rolling mill to some other town. The controlling interest 1s in favor of a removal, i Yicids Assured. Masox Ciry, [n, July 2.—[Spectal Tele: gram toTin Bk, ] —The crop prospocts for northern Iowa have never been more flatter- ing in the last twenty years. Oats, wheat and barley are heading out and the weather is vory tavorablo. No Insects are to be scen, and unless the weather is fntensely warm big yiolds are assured. Corn is knee high and is growing rapidly. Potatoes will yield very heavil; Flax is looking well, and tame and wild grass is much heavier than at first an- ticipated. Rogardless of the supposed twine moriopoly andthe action taken by many Towa farm associations, they are pur- chasing twine for harvesting purposes, pay- g from 16 to 20 cents per pound.

To-Day Set Down On the Programme as For Lawyers and Editors— Proceedings of the Be- atrice Assembly. Eduoators Hold Forth, Crerr AsseMBLY GRoONDS, July 2.—[Spe- cial to Tne Brx.)—To-day being ‘‘Teachers' Day" the thought of the morning prayer- meeting naturally turned to ‘“Ihie Teacher's Preparation.”” The subject was made to in- clude both Sunday school and secular school teachers, ministers and all whose oftice 18 to teach. The meoting was animated and interesting and closed promptly at 8 o'clock, that the pavilion might be vacated for Prof. Palmer, whose rehearsal camo at that hour, and who is anxious his large chorus shall save every minute belonging to it. His class, by actual count, numbered this morning 172. All wear orunge colored ribbon badges, containing the words ‘‘Ne- braska Assembly Cheir,” printed in black letters. The singers already show the effect of the oxcellent training they are receiving, and are sure of a large though uninvited audience at overy rohearsal. The voice of their singing can be heard all ovor the camp. Especially is this true when Madame Carrington sings. This lady has a wonderful voice, high, sweet and clear. It rings out in powerful notes that soar and float in wondrous waves of melody, or sink into low wavering echoes which people hold their breath to hear. Those wh o have once heard her strong, true voice, always full of richest music and al- ways under perfect control, will not wonder that she is called one of the_ finest soprauos in America. The musical department of the assembly 18 very superior this year. ‘The various classes of the forenoon met as usual, Prof. Jacoby's advanced normal class had another lesson on the geography of the bible, and spent the hour in drawing the map and locating the important places in the Holy Land. At 9 o'clock Mrs, Kennedy's Palestino class took a journey from Crete to Jerusalem and examined the streets and _buildings of that ancient city. Dr. Duryea's bible class met in the hall in the grove and studied the historical order of the books of the Old Testament. None of these books, they were told, ave pure history, but the history they teach is sufficiently~correct for its ‘object, viz., the setting, as in a brooch, all the gems of truth necessary for us to know of the history of thoss times. These books have stood the tests of time, have been studied by generation after generation, and have been handed down to us through the ages in this trustworthy form. Revelatisn is God mak- .ing Himself known in nature, in the consti- tution of man, in tha course of history, and in Jesus Christ living and acting. It is interesting to watch this bible class, as it sits in the hall in tho grove. The long rows of benches under the trees, the hundred of listening faces uplifted to the scholarly teacher on the platform, who ana- lyzes and comments and explains, and de- votes all his eloqucuce and scholarship to the ‘work of showing them how to understand the bible better and how to take more com- fortin it. And while his schoiars listen, with their open bible before them, ready for his numerous references, the wild virds sing in the trees above them, little children play in the grove and on the river bank close by, quiet groups of people wander to and fro, and the gentle splash of oars comes from the river. At 11 o'clock occurred the event of the forenoon, the pronunciation match, conducted by Professor Cumnock. The large pavilion was packed with people eager to witness the contest. There was much subdued excitement, and consid- erable scheming for good positions. The contestants, between fifty and sixty in_aum- ber, occupied the front seats, and stood up when called upon to pronounce. Those mak- ing mistakes immediately took places in the audience. In the beginning the professor explained that he would only give out words in com- mon use—words on which the authorities are agreed. The prizes for the two successful contestants were a complete set of Shake- speare’s works, bound in calf, Hudson’s edi- tion for first prizc, and a complete set of George Eliot's works, elegantly bound, for second prize. Seventy-threoc words were pronounced in all, The first fifty-three words were pronounced with but comparatively few mistakes, the words being passed from one to another consecutively. Then began the pronunciation by benches. The word “construe” cleared half a bench, and the word ‘‘antepenult”’ cleared the other half. Then followed in quick succession the words, aye, bombast, blatant, booth and caldron. Only sixteen of the contestants were now left, and the word *‘tirade” floored just half of these. The excitement now became in- tense; the eight contestunts who were left stood in a row and regarded the professor with half amused, half anxious faces. It was evident that each was very desirous to win the prizes, but half ashamed and half afraid to try. Then came the word ‘‘clangor” and only five contestauts were left. The words ‘“youths,” ‘“etiquette,” “morphine,” and ‘“‘alias” floored three and only . two con- testants, Prof. G, D. Swezey, of Doane col- lege, and Mrs, D. J. Jones, also of Crete, were left. People now became interested in earnest, and those iu the rear of the pavilion stood up and craned their necks to get a view of the intercsting scenes in front. The five words, ‘‘truculent.” ‘‘condemning,” sclearly,” “nasal” and_‘‘vison were now placed on che board and the two contestants were told to rise and pronounce them. The result proved a tie, for both contestants mispronounced two out of the five words. The three words, “brooch, ‘‘bell letters" “coquetry,” were now given. Prof. Swezey pronounced two of the three words correctly, while Mrs. Jones gave the correct pronunciation of but one of them. Therefore Prof. Swezey was awarded the first and Mrs, Jones the second prize. The result was loudly ap- planded by the audience, lBut now a new sound broke out—asound never before heard at the Nebraska assembly. It began in the ter of the pavilion and was caught up by ‘oung men’s voices all over the audience: Do, do, do, ra, me, 1a, fa, sol, la, 8¢, Do-a-n-, Doane!” It was evidently the war cry o Doane college students who were in'tho audience, and adopted this way of express- ing their delight because a favorite professor in their alma mater had carried off the honors of the day Dr. Dunning now presented the prizes and expressed surprise that with more than half @ hunared contestants from all over the state, both prizes should be won by Cretans. Here a diminutive specimen of young Amer- ica sung out, “Wnats tho ‘matter with Crete!” causing the audience to laugh and applavd, while the students repeated their War ory. This being teachers’ day, an unusual n ber of teachers are present. The principal event of the afternoon was the confefence of the teachers of Nebraska at 2 p. m, A large audience, including many teachers from wil parts of the state and from other statcs, as- sembled in the pavilion at this hour, Before the address Madame Carrington sang a flne 80lo, “When the Flowing Tide Comes In,” and responded to a hearty encore. The pre- siding oficer, Principal Edward Healey, then introduced Prof. J. T. McKarland, of the Wesleyan university, Mount Pleasant, Ia., who delivered the anoual address to the teachers. choosing for his subject “The Higher Values.” The address was scholarly, well delivered, and attentively listened to. At the teachers’ business meeting at & o'clock, a committee was appointed to secure funds for the erection of & teachers' head- quarters on tbe grounds. A subscription was started and @a considerable sum was immediately secured. At 8 o'ciock the vast auditorium was crowded for Prof. Cumnock’s readings. A flue cornet solo by Miss Park preceded the readings. Prof. Cumnock’s r«ad.l:gl were unusually good, and greatl pleas and interested the immense sudi- ence.

Sheepshead iay Races. . Nrw Yonrx, July 2.—Under lowering skies and attended by ram at intervals, the Sheepshead Bay spring mecting was to-day brought to a close. The king race of the day and mecting was the fourtn, or, realization race, in which $40,000 was to bo won aud lost. Salvator, under MeLaughlin, landed the prize in the hands of J. 13.
