N — ESTABLISHED NEBRASKA'S CROP PROSPECTS Uorn Promises Well, but 8mall Grain Gen- erally in Poor Condition. WINTER WHEAT AND RYE A FAILURE Collections Alinost Without Exception Are Slow and Trade Generally Duil—Farmors Have Conslderable O1d Coin on Hand and Are in Good Shape. R G. Dun & Co.'s annual tradeand crop feport printed below includes reports from eighty-two countics in Nebraska, and is pre- pared with great care by the correspondents of the Mercantile agency. It has always been a truthful and urate showing of erop conditions and will be found interest- ing to every Nebraska reader. It will be ob- served that corn promises well almost everywhere, but that small grains are gen- erally in poor condition, The winter wheat and rye crops are o practical failure. Oats is not promising. The acreage of flax is very smull and tame hay was badly hurt by the severe winter. Fruitis hardly worth mentioning. Collections are slow nearly overywhere and altogether the outlook is not particularly encouraging. However, it is gratifying tolearn that the farmers are in better condition financially than usual and can stand o partial failure with less distress than heretofore. There is a good deal of heldover grain and prices of hogs and cattle are high enough to make up in large measure for the shortness of agricultural product The report from country bauks is encoura- ging and 10 spite of dull collections country merchants seem to be in fuir condition. Adams County. Crop prospect s good, but backward Winter wheat, owing to a d; spring, will probubly nov aver acrop; acreage about the same Oats promises to be fair: not much rye or spring wheat. Corn, which is the principal crop, 18 a good stand and promises well at this time. Ground is in splendid condition ana everything growing rapidly, Farmers gencrally are prosperous, but this is a dull season_for trade and merchunts are not ap- parently doing much. Collections are slow 1o fair and money tight, Bauks loaning but little: seem to be awaiting development however, are believed to be on a firm and it s thought will pull through in good shape, Autelope County. Corn is the principal crop throughout the entire county and the acreaze this year is reported larger than last, though in some portions more diversified. Prospects are more promising than in former years at this time and ndications point to an enormous yield. Considerable oats, wheat and rye are grown, and at some pomnts small grain has been injured by high winds, Collections are slow, but business conditions are good. Banner County. Principal crop in '02 was wheat. A large yield was obtained, and this year farmers ave about 25 per cent more small grain sown, in fact, all they can possibly handle. The continuous high winds in the spring blew out probably 10 per cent of all grain Bown, still leaving a small percentage in acreago over that of last yesr. Grain, al- though backward, presents a good appear- anée and with no misfortune from drouth or hail, will be highly factory. Low prices make collections harder thun o year Ligo. Blaine County, The principal crop last yea wheat and rye, the acreage this year being about the same. Wheat and rye have been injured some by winds and drouth; trade fair; collectjons slow as to old accounts. At present not much credit is extended, Boone Count The crops last oats, principally probably 10 per r was corn, car were corn, wheat und The acreage. of corn is cent larger than usual. Oats somewhat increased, but wheat about the same. The outlook is excellent foran abundance of all crops, fall wheat espe- cially promising a good yield. Collections are a little slow and trade dull. Boyd Gounty. ‘Wheat and corn are the principal and the acreage this year is increased. The wheat prospect is not the best but corn is dolng well and with favorable weather will make a good crop. Collections are slow and trade only fair, Box Butte County. The principal crop of '02 was ncreage of which {s double this there is considerable more corn, 1ate in this section, and atone hension was felt concerning the dry weuthoer, but this has been removed to a considerable extent. Collections and trade are fairly pood. A number of bank deposits have cen withdrawn, and more or less anxicty is expressed over fluancial reports from the cast, crops wheat, year, and Brown County. ‘Wheat and corn were the principal crops last year, and werea three-fourths failure on account of a cold, wet spring. Acreage this year about the same, and present pros- pects only fair. The army worm ana hot winds haye spoiled prospects fora large yield, Collections are slow; merchants tomplaming bitterly, and many going out of business. Tho prosperous farmers appear to be dealing in hogs and cattle. Bufilo County. Crop outlook appears very favorable, Corn, which is the principal crop, shows an excellent stand, while oats promises an ay- erage yield and rye falr. Wheat in_some portions of the county has been retarded by the dry weather and in the southeast po tion was considerably damaged by hail. - On the whole, however, farmers appear conti- dent of a very fair general crop, The moncy stringency has affected gencral trade some- what and collections are quite slow, banks are making no outside loans and deposits aro well run down. A canvassof the banks shows deposits of $700,842.40 and loans of #1,141 BU&72. Retail trade is quite dull and jo bers’ trade at present is only fair, Burt County, Principal crop is corn, and there is an in- ereased acreage over last year. New lands are being broken and put under cultivation, and considerable small grain has been put in, Residents herve fo rs say thoy never 8aw prospects better, crops of all kinds being very promising. ‘There never has been & failure in this county., Collections some- what slow, but trade good, and neither farmer nor merchant appears discouraged. Bank deposits have increased materially, This being o great stock county farwers have benefited from the increased value of cattle and hogs, The is considerable building goiug on in certain portions.

Much land 18 changiug hanas ut bigh figures, Cuss County, Principal crop is corn, which comprises more acreage than all small grain. Swmall grain was injured by hail storms and in this territory fields were replanted entirely to corn, which is a little backward, but the outlook is better thau fn last three yea The outlook for small grain is not very e couraging. Farmers seem to Lave monoy, but collections sgainst merchants are slowe, Trade is not very good. Chinse County, Present outiook is not the most brilliant for crops. rall wheat and rye will not yield over ong-third of 8 crop and ‘spring wheat is bad. Corn is a good stand aud with JUNE seasonable rain from now on will make an ’ average crop, Cherry Connty. Crop conditions at present are quite favor- able. Wheat is looking good, rye is fair. al- though the heavy winds of late damaged it some. Corn prospects are fair, though but a small amount is raised, wheat being the principal crop. Prospects at present ara far ahead of last year. Collections are fair, al- though there is very little money among the farmers at present. A good crop is a neces- sity to the farmers in this locality. e ‘Lhe acreage in all crops is one-third larger than in former years. Wheat and rye are the only crops, except possibly a little broom corn and flax. ' Cattle, hogs and horses are numerous. ‘The outlook at present 1s good, if not better, than at same timeany previous year. Money is tight and collections will be hard until after harvest. For a new coun- try, people are doing well. Clay € In 1802 the principal crops wheat and oats respectively, the acreage in other grain being very small. This year more winter wheat was sown. but owing to the drouth many farmers plowed up and planted corn instead, the acreage of which is larger. 1t hus a stendy, healthy growth, as good a8 ever, and will yield more per acre than heretofore.

Wheat, oats, rye and flax are also raised to some extent, acreage remains about the sume, but prospects less favorable. Collce- tions reported slow; trade only fair, but future prospects of both merchant and farmer aro good. Cuming County. The principal cron is corn.with such others as wheat, ryo and oats.

Everybody is in the best of humor,except the large borrower, as banks are only uccommo- dating their best customers, Custer County. Wheat and corn are the principal croy and the acreage this year is from 20 to : per cent greater, more land being reduced to cultivation than ever before. = Crops are looking well, in fact, much better than at same date lust year, though some two weeks behind. Not niuch flax was sown this year, but some millet for hay. Winter wheat very thin and will not yield much. Collec- tions are practically at” a standstill. Trade is dull. e Dawes County.

Prospects for both merchants and farmers are fairly good. Deuel County. Principal crovs last year were wheat and other small gramn, The acreage this year about double. Prospects are good ™ for bountiful yield in most portions of the county. For a time a hot wind from the south wis blowing, but the most thrifty and best put in erops did not suffer to any great ex tent. Collections and trade reasonably good and future prospects of both farmers and merchunts are good. Dodge Count Corn was the principal crop last year and is this, acreage being about the sanie, though considerable more small grain has been prospects are quite good, although worms have caused considerable re-planting. Collections and trade are fair, Duudy County. Acreage of all kinds of crops 1s from 10 to 20 per cent greater this year than last. Corn and wheat ave the two principal erops. Corn at present is looking well, but wheat will be almost a failure -owing to the ecarly dry weather. Collections have been good dur- ing the past year, Flilmore County. ‘The principal crops last year were corn, wheat and oats, Wheat acreage sown in- creased for this yvear 10 per cent, but this was cut down fully t much by hail and drouth on account of which small grain of all kinds will not amount to more than halfa crop. Corn acreage incrensed 20 per cent and if weather continues favorable the crop will be at least an average one. In some portions prospects were never better than now, Owing to the stringency of the money market and the fact that banks are not loaning, collections are slow and busi- ness rather dull at present, Lranklin County, The principal crops are corn, wheat and The acreage of the foruer is increased, about the same. Yield in all s will be cut short for want of rain to probubly one-fourth of a crop. Corn is quite promising and looks better than at this time last yea. though about two weeks behind, Collections fair and future prospects not’ seriously discouraging., The high prices of cattle and hogs will, it is thought,muke up for shortage in small grain, Froutier County, Corn was the principal crop last year and the acreage this year is fully one-eighth more, with prospects never better at this time of the year. Prospects for wheat und oats are poor; will have probably a good half erop. Collections have been good until recently, but are hard just now owing to the tightuess of the money market, but the future outlook is favorable, 'hiere is a largo amount of corn held by farmers in this county not yet marketed, ruas County, The principal crops o the order named. Wheat acreage is about the sume as lust but the outlook for small grain is very ‘poor indeed. There will not be to exceed five or six bushels to the acre. The acreage of corn is in d one- fourth and at present is in fawr condition, although a weck or two late. Collections are very poor and banks have quit loaning, Farmers are holding corn and wheat for higher prices. Future depends on fate of corn crop 3 corn and wheat in Gurfield County, Principal crop last year was corn, wheat and oats. ‘Thero is a greater acreage of corn this year than last and prospects are fine, Never before have crops looked as well as now. A great amount of prairie is broken and farmers uve waking many substantial iwprovements, Gage County. This is essentially a corn-growing section, and corn, cattle and hogs are the leading productions of farmers. Winter wheat does fairly well, having been exceptionally good for the lust two vears.

HOW TAE M Jllldl'l‘fl MAY RULE, General Catchings lxplains the Plans of the Demoerat WasnINGTON, June 25,—General Catchings of Mississippi, who was a member of the last house committee on rules, 1 speaking of the legislation which will occupy the attention of congress at the ‘special session this autumn, said: “The repeal of the Sherman law and nm_n#(o:-m tariff are the two great subjects wIth which we will have to deal. The numerical strength of the frec silver vote is mot' cer- tain, It is certain, however, that many members will oppose the repeal of tho Sherman law unless something nearer to free coinuge is offered. When the tariff debate spriogs up every ‘pl'nmctad industry in the country will have its report upon tiie floor. With opposition so stzong, it will be abso- lutely necessary to mbdify the rules, elss nothing can be done. ,Every one remembers the scenes which marked the closing days of the last congress. Day after day was wasted in_senseless motions which had no object save delay. With these rules again in force no vote could be reached. “The committee on rules thoroughly un- derstands this. If I am nol mistaken, when eongress mects o different order of things will obtain. Last winter the committee on rules formulated a provision which should meet the case. It was to the effect that it shall be ulways in order to call up for con- sideration a report from the committee on rules, The working of it will be this: Sup- pose that after a month of delay the com- mittee on rules reports that the next Thurs day shall be set apart fora vote upon the of the Sherman’ act and moves the previous question, How the Majority May Rule, etting aside the day will be of little s that any might be wasted n filibus- but if the majority wishes to o itcan vote down the motion for the previous ion, which will leave it open to amenament. An amendment can then be offered. setting the vote for a c tain hour and if carried by the majority, dilatory motions will be erushed, Tho rule declares that after the report of the com- mittec is made. butone motion to adjourn shall be entertained. It will bo as strong a method of cloture as can be effected and 1 have little doubt of its adoption. By this plan the business of the house will be placed entirely in the hands of the majority and upon the wajority will fall the praise or blame. *With regard to the sentiment of the south concerning the repeal of the Sherman act, the people not only there, but in other sections of the country, are doing more thinking upon this subject than ever before. Eighteen months ago the south was strongly in favor of fi coinage, but it is not so to- day. Sentiment is changing. 1f asked to hazard a guess, 1 should say that it is now about half and half, The cause of sound money has gained ground very rapidly. “Personally, I favor the repeal of the Sherman law. Twould like to sco some thing in its place to benefit the country— some legislation more wise and conserya- tive—but it should be wiped out, if noeds be, unconditional,” BLEW OUL HIS BRAIN % H.

The police charged without firing, but the Mohammedans held their ground stubbornly and fought back with sticks and stones. Mr. Fleming, who had gone to the spot as a special policeman, was wounded. The police: men withdrew, got reinforcements and charged again without effect. Mr. Fleming then ordered them to fire. o cow near the A volley was delivered at close quarters. Twenty Mohammedans fell dead and many more were wounded severely. Called Oat the Military, As the Mohammedans still refused to dis- perse, the military were called out.

June 25.— - [Special to Tue BE.]—In the past there been considerable complaint on the part of some of the old soldiers living in this state be- cause no provision was made at the Hot Spring soldiers’ home for the families of old soldiers who had entered the home. Any old soldier who on account of disability was compelled to enter the home, if married, had to leave his wifeand family to shift for them- selves and get along us best they could.On this account many old veterans whose condition both physically and financially, made them cligible to seek admission to thie home, have refused to do so because they would not de- sert their wives and families. Recently, however, the board of managers of the Home has decided to build some cottages near the Home for some of the old soldiers who huve families. This action will meet with approval by the old veterans of South Dakota. Lead Clty Fire Under Control. Lzap City, 8.

New Yorg, June 25 —Alexander Weil of Lazard Freres, one of the heaviest gold ex- porting houses, prior to his depurture fov Europe for the summer, shid that he did not look for any imjorts of gold at present. The shipment of $500,000 this way reported two ago did not furnish a precedent which could be depended upon. “When we saw exchange rates go down,” he added, “‘we made inquiries us to the prospects of impor- tations. We have been large exporters, as knows, and wo should have been exceedingly glad to be able to bring in gold. But in spite of our desire to do'so, we did not find that thesituation justified importations. cannot have imports of gold without large exports of wheat, or proaucts or Ameri- can securiti There is certainly no large movement of securities abroad at present. Now and then a disposition is manifest on the part of speculators in Burope to lay in American secul s with an eye to the re- peal of our silver purchase law, but they are not investors and they sell out again just as they have bought if they see o chance for profit or begin or fear a loss. The real in- vestors are not buying on chances. They are waiting for a certainty which the repeal of the silver law bring, “It scems to me that lighter importations are likely and that with short crops abroad, more exports of our products are probable, unless the banks in the west continue car- rying the grain holders and keeping the #rain out of tho mark It would be much better to set free o part of the holdings, Keeping the grain tied up is no real service even to the holder. They may go on carvy- ing the grain perhaps for a year or more, paying big interest only to fiid n loss in the . Our need Just now is exports, We sell our products abroad and get the moncey und that is just what wo want.” B MANY PLANTATIONS DESTROYED. Ono Milllsn Dollars Wort® of Loulsiana Property Under Water.

As near as can be learned from friends of tho family, they are led to belicve that the Lehnigs were poisoned while eating suppor last Thursday night, but can offer no caus of the poisoning. Since then all of them have been sick, and the attending physician said he was unable to Wesignate the nature of the poison. Al Were Affocted, Conrad Lehnig is a tailor, who has his shop in the front part of his residence at the above named place. His family consists of his wife, two daughters, Rosina and Matilda, a son, D W. Lehnig, and o daughter-ine 'y Mrs. Theodore Lehnig of Winona, Minn., who is visiting the family. On Thursday the family were busily ene waged in getting Rosina ready for the High school graduation exercises, in which she took part at Boyd's new opera house that night. Just before starting for the opera house they partook of a light supper and on their return were all taken with a painful illness. They did not secm to regard the attack with alarm and thought it was caused by eating some lettuce, of which they all partook. Ncarly all of them complaine of intense pains in the stomach, and were taken with attacks of vomiting, after which they scemed relieved, Restoratives Admlalatorod. They grew no better on Friday, and Frie duy night summoned a physician who ade ministered restoratives, but Lydia, her mother and the sister-in-law grew worse, In spite of the efforts of the physician Lydia continued to sink and last evening death came to her relief. Mrs, Lehnig is danger- ously ill and it is not thought she will su vive the night. and Mrs, Theodore Lehnig is. regarded as being in a serious condition. Rosina is much vetter than any of the fame ily and thinks she was fortunate because she was so oxcited about the details incident to her graduation that she hardly tasted any food that night. Her father and brother are believed to be out of danger, but are still very weak. Those who were able to see visitors attributed their ill- n to cither the vinegar used on tho let- tuce or the lard used in cooking, and do not believe that they were poisoned by any one, as they have no known enemics.

He id it was probubly caused by cating or drinkivg something which affected them all alike. He said that impure food could have produced the same symptoms. Furthermore, Mesdames Conrad and Theodore Lehnig were dangerously ill. He did not care to discuss all the symptoms, out hopes to save the other and less affected members of the family. s COWBOYS IN ILLINOIS, Progress of tho Racors Slow with Much Exhnsusted.
