Corn Shows a Keduction Points in Conditic WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The September crop report of the department of agricalture maises the general average of corn 91, u re- duction of nearly 5 poinis: of winter wheat when harvested £9, 3 points from 92 on the 1st of July; of spring wheat 3.9, an wncrease from $1.2 in August. This wakes the general average of all wheat S7.6. ‘The general condition of oats is 90, instead of 923 last month; of rye 01.6; of barley 83.9, stend of 90.6; of buckwheat 92.1 fnstoad of 5 of Five he percentage of stock hogs available for fattening is 101, condition 98, The corn crop is weak and late m a large proportion of its breadth. In the Ohio valley and lake region there hus been a marked reduction of th> condition during the last month, from the drogth following the heavy rains in the early summer. _In Michigan and Wisconsin the effects of the drouth, and other influ- ences, are most injurious. ‘There is com- plaint of the drouth west of the Mississippi, but it s too late in the season for any serious reduction. West of the Missouri the condi- tion has been more favorable than in any other part of the country and the crop is very larg In the se dition are: en surplus states figures for con- Ohio 81, aloss of 6 points; In- diana 81, a loss of 6 points; Illinois 87, a lo: ot 3 points; lowa 94, a loss of 6 point Missour: 93, a loss of 3 points; Kunsas, 98; Nebraska, 90 The reduction in winter wneat, compared with the July report, is in New York, Penn- sylvania, Michigan, California, and in some of the southern states.

The local rates of yield in Dakota are extromely variable, ranging from one to uwenty bushels per acre. Board of Agriculture, LixcoLy, Neb., Sept. 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee, |—The semi-unnual meet- ing of the state board of agriculture was held at the council chamber this evening. The relocation of the fawr for the ensuing five years was the first question taken up. After a brief conference it was decided to pbstpone the matter until the annual meeting of the board in January. But two bids are in, Chicago was indorsed as the place for hold- ing the world’s fair, W. R. Davis, of Chase county, was admit- ted w membership on the state board, R. W. Farnas was elected delegate to the estern fair circuit convention, wiich meets in Chicago in November, and the states’ na- uonal association of fairs and expositions to be neld in Milwaukee the same week. J. B. Dinsmore was elected delegate to the American Short Horn Breeders' asso- ciatio W. R. Davis, representative of the Chase County Agricultural association, was ad- mitted to membership in the state board. e Omaba Men Geot a Contraot.

The contract for the building has been sigued, and, according to the contract, work must commence within five days, - Oozad Will Have a New Bank. Cozap, Neb., Sept. 10.—[Special Telegram w Toe Bes.|—1t to-day was made public that & new bank is to be organized in Cozad with @& capital of $25,000.

The Fate of Some Ladies Elécted Tenohers Monday Night. The board of education Mondaynight elected soven toachors—one for the high school and six for the graded schools of the city. Four of the seven woro among the toachers who wore not recommended for re-election by tne superintendent, but the board ignored the recommendations of that centloman in this instance, Superintendent James has nothing to say 1 in the case other than that the board isa bigger man than he 1s and that the teachers having boen elected, will be assigned to places s soon as there aro vacancies to be suppliod. It will be cold weather: [ speak literally and not in slang parlance,’ said Secretary Piper, “beforo some of these teachers, at least, are assigned for work. ‘The board has already electod 285 teachers, There were 204 in the schools on the close of last year. Nine of these have resigned. A nuwmber of new rooms have been opened and an addi- tional teacher has boen employed in the high schools. This leaves more than tho number of teachiers elected last night still unem- ployed. Of course there will bo resigna- tions and changes that will furnish work for the teachers already elocted out I imagine it will be well along in the winter before all of the teachers elected will find work.” Thera were 0,850 pupils in the schools Monday. This is the largest number of pu- pils that has ever attended at whe opening term of the school year, and the list will probably be swelled to 10,000 before the end of the term, The superintendent has nothing to offer rolative w the increase of teachers’ salarios. That matter, he says, rosts entirely with the board. STATE e L DEVELOPMEN Ignorance Regarding it Within But Not Outside the Oity. A small wave of dlscouragemont seems to have struck local members of the State De- velopment association, Nuato Crary, who has been engaged to canvass Omaha for sub- scriptions from business men, says he meets with a great deal of opposition. Those. who, it is claimed, are able 1 _contribute excuse themselves on he ground that they know t0o little about the scheme and its “objects; that they have not been informed about it as fully as they would like to be, with a num- ber of other excuses. Yesterday Secretary Nason received an encouraging letter from James A. Cline, vico president of the Minden board of trade, in which he says assure you 1f_indications count for anything.we are now receiving the consideration of the public. The interest manifested in western Nebraska is un- doubtedly giving an insight to those not members that will result, in much good. Kearney county has fully demon- strated that it pays to be represerited in the east during these harvest exclrsions with plenty of advertising matter, Our board of trade has sent three men to Ilinois with 10,- 000 descriptive tirculars and _ maps, and one man through western Pennsyl- and every day brings evi- of the ~ good work _donme by them. If every county would make the effort we have made, Nebraska's wonderful agricultural advantages would be known in every section of the cast. That we may prosper and be able to carry out the objects of the organization all must take a hand and nhelp. With the inducements offered by the railroads success is sure.” “It would seem from this” said Mr. Nason, “‘that the people outside of Omuba ve not been 8o slow to understand the ob- jects of our moyement. 1 know that the newspapers are in sympathy with us, and have been pubhshing all the matter they could get hold of.” - Ball Park Litization. Martin Ittner, administrator of the estate of Benjumin Ittuer, has commenced an ¢ tion of forcible entry und detainer in Justice Anderson’s court to recover possession of what is known as tax lot 755, more commonly known as the ball park. ' W, S. Robinson and J, J. Hardin are the defendants, and the cause of action is alleged to be that the de- fondants agreed to pay the taxes om the property when they became due. It is claimed this has not been done. The Lase ball people lease from Hardin. S The City Council. The city council held a meeting last night at which fourteen members were present. A large number of paving estimates were submitted, and the tax levy for paving purposes fixed. The reports of thbe city treasurer, city meat inspector, inspector of plumbing, poiice judge, boiler nspector and poundmaster weré submitted. A resolution was passed, laying out a new “burnt district,” between Kighth aud Ninth streets and Douglas atid Davenport. City Engineer Tillson submitted the plans and specifications for :he Tenth street via- duet. The estimated cost of the structure is £340,000. “'he engineer stated that the Union Pacific company was opposed to a viaduct 100 feet 1n width, and requested a conference for the purpose of discussing the plans, A motion was adopted that when the council adjourn it be to Saturday night, to meet with representatives of the com- pany to discuss the plans, parlaitiot Death of K.

Judge Shields had a case on trial before him in the county court yesterday which developed quite a story. On the 6th day of last March - Hans Juhl, who had been trying to buy a pair of horses from Berv Winkleman, in- duced the later to. let him take the team a day or two to _try it The purchaso price was 8175, Next day Junl went to Reed, the money loaner, to borrow $75 and gave him a morigage on the horses, then made Winkleman a paymont, it having been understood that $100 down would bo satisfactory. Learning that Juhl a8 mortgage on the ani- mals while trying them, Winkleman replevined them, and they were left in Con- stablo Stein’s possession, and Reed instituted the suit against him for foreclosure of the mortgage. A A Coming Pugilistio Event. Dauny Needham, of Minneapolis, and Jimmy Grifiin, of St. Paul, are both anxious 10 come to Omaha,and havo a go with Jimmy Lindsay before the Gate City Athletic club, but it 1s doubtful whether any such match is made. It is quite possible, however, that tho club members will be furnished an opportun- ity of seeing Needham aund Charley Daly put ub their dukes togother, as tho secrotary is negoliating with them, aud is about assured of arranging tue exhibition i At the Coliseum. Another large crowd congregated av the Coliseum last night, and up to & late hour the spacious huilding was completely packed with people, all bent on cateh- ing & glimpse of every exhibit. The principal attraction, independent of the exhibit, was the well known soloist, Henry Lootz, who rendered several vocal seloctions, among which was “The Last Rose of Sum: mer.” His yoico was clear and his rendi- tions elicited great applause. An intorest- ing programme will be carried out this evening. ———— Steam and Hot Water Fitters.

Had the letter borne the -signature of some arch enemy of labor's cause it would have been seif-explanatory, but to find it endorsed by an intelligent assembly of Knights of Labor i8 to me weilnigh inex- plicable; a reform, be tho cause what it may, is never consummated until publi opinion has crystalized in its favor, and pre. sents a solid front agawst which' the ole- ments of orror and wrong rush to their cor- tain destruction. Public opinion is formed only by practical demonstration and_in- controvertible fact, and slowly then. Now to the case in point K'or years our spoakers, writers and lecturers have claimed publicly and privately, and we have all lent our feeble voices to the same assertion, that the working man was stondily crowded into a situation where the returns for his labor would barely support animal life, and often then only under tho most degrading and disgusting con- ditions, and we have as constantly asserted that if the people would establish & bureau for tho investigation of these matters we would prove it by facts and figures that would simply be astounding in their conclu- siveness and bring at once to our aid the po- tent weapon *Public Opinion,” with which wo could successfully attack the foundations of any abuse, no matter how deeply grounded in our social or political fabric. The people have listened to our demand and given us the opportunity to prove our position by es- tablishing the bureau for us, when lo! at the first call for proof, the Hrst witn ask to testify for our cause, though we thought himn to be, come: and says: ‘I refuse to make a statement that will show what I spend for bread and what I spend for beer.” Listen: may we not detect in that the key-note of the compo- sition? While calling attention to the mote in the oppressors eye, may we not have over- looked the beam in our own! In other words, may it not be possiblo that we have spent too much for beer in proportion to what we spent for breadi If so, letus know 1t, that tho mistakes of this year may be the wisdom of the years to come; it not, the investigation will have but added strength to our demands. Tt is imperative that we should be as ready to correct our own shortcomings as to call for the correc- tion of faults in others. That you have ex- cecded your authority or devoted your energies” to a trivial matter, s tome in no wise apparent. We have re- peatedly claimed through every channel that reaches the public ear that we could prove certain facts, were we given the opportunity, by the cold, bard logic of verified statistics. Now that we have the opportunity in the state burean of labor, I believe your idea of the “‘account blauk,” that our ‘North Platte friends find so objectionable, to bs a thor- ough, ematic and comprehensive method of proving conclusively how very little the workingman has with which v purchase either bread or beer or education, or any one of a thonsand things that mark the contrast of the human being and the brute. Your critics say, “‘You are_directed by law es- ecially to examine into the relations be- tween capital and labor, and herein is opened up a tremendous field for the exercise of your talents as a statistician, and, in short, we conceive it to be our business to gather statist that will educate us as to the production and distribution of wealth in this state.”” How it would be possible to_devise a more simple, rational and successful means of col =z and compiling the very informa- tion called for in the abo: means of the blank you have preparec nt out, and which'is criticized so severely L. A, 3343, is, I must confess, beyond my comprehension, ‘That your efforts, in the diiection you have taken, are judicious and will resvlt in posi tive vantege to all labor in the state, or- zed or unorganized, is o me a self-evi- dent fact, and 1 look forward with much hope for the day when labor forces wili all be your assistants in your work, and the only dissensions be found in the broken and dismembered ranks of labor's enemies.

Ci1caco, Sept. 10.—[Special Telogram to Tre Bee | —At least a temporary split is im- minent in tho Westorn States Passongor as sociation. The Rock Island, Wisconsin Con- tral and the Chioago, St. Paul & Kansas City refuse to acknowledge any head of the association except Chairman Abbott. The other ninoteen roads, exoept a few which are on the fence, refuse to acknowledge any head except Secretary Thompson. The three roads express a firm intention of at least allowing Mr. Abbott to resign, and the others are as determined not to give him that privilege. The whole affair is a most unfortunate one and peculisrly embarrassing to Mr. Abbott. As general passenger agent of the Erie ho made a national reputation, and since his ar- rival in Chicago he has constantly added to the list of his friends. It is impossibi tell how the comvlication will end. Curcago, Sept. 10.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber. |—The cut-throat passenger war botween the Pennsyluania and tho Monon is ended.

Cricado, Sept. 10.—[Special Telezram to Tik Beg. |~The Western Froight associa- tion has become weary of bearing the bur- don of ihe critical situation in the northwest and to-duy saddled it back on the presidents of the lines in the Iuter-State Commerce association. It will be remembered that the presidents at their last meeting requested stern Ereight association to atiempt to secure the co-operation of the trunk jines and Central Traflic associations in quoting through rates from the seaboard to St. Paul. ‘Phis_co-operation has boen decidedly re- fused, ard now the freight men want the presidents to father their owa but rather disfigured child.

The Western Freight association also took up the Alton's notice of reduction in live stock rates from Kansas City to Chicago 34 t0 18 cents, and referred it to the stern division to report baci at the present scssion.
