Crop Conditions ns Compared with the Sume Period Lust Year, SNYDER, Neb, July 26.—(Special.) year ago today the hot wind ruined every- thing, especlally corn, in this community. Today opemed up with a beautiful shower, the finest good rain for two weeks, and more rain will surely follow from all appearance. Today's shower refreshed corn and garden truck. Harvesting is about over and farmers are overwhelmed with Joy over the immense small grain crop. Threshing machines have all gone out, and reports come in of large averages in both wheat and oats. NEBRASKA CITY, July 26.—(Special)— ‘The thermometer registered 100 degrees to- day. A strong south wind has been blowing since morning, but has not been hot enough to_damage corn. SYRACUSE, Neb., July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A strip of country about twelve miles wide and extendirg south to the state line and north to near the Cass county line bas missed the recent rains and is suffering badly from the drouth. WAYNE, Neb., July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Harvest is nearly over, and wheat and oats crops far exceed any previous year in the history of Wayne county. Some oats have been threshed already, averaging eighty bushels per acre. The corn crop is in good condition. ALBION, Neb., July 26—(Special)—Re- ports of the first of the season’s threshing have been received. Riley Bros.' field of Dineteen acres of barley yielded sixty-four and a half bushels per care. J. W. Quack- enbush’s oats yielded fifty-one bushels per acre. Johnson Bros. recelved 453 bushels of barley from four and a half acres. With such reports as these coming in from dif- ferent parts of the county it causes citizens to wonder whether the crop reporters were not dreaming of last year when they re- ported for the week ending July 22 that Boone county would have but half a crop of oats, with wheat, barley znd rye a light yield, Never In the history of this county has there been such a big crop of smail grain as stands on the fields from one end of the county to the other at the present time. BIG SPRINGS, Neb, July Telegram)—Today has been a regular scorcher. The thermometer registered 10§ in the shade. There was no breeze during the greater part of the day. DECATUR, Neb., July 26.—(Special)—In spite of the fact that the ground here is in a somewhat dry cendition, no reason can yet be seen to case alarm. Corn has been suf- fering slightly for moisture, but there was a local shower yesterday morning, sufficient to insure an average crop. Harvesting of the small grain is about over, and the biggest crop has been realized that has been known for years. Oats made about forty to fifty bushels per acre, and wheat is easily mea?- ured twenty to thirty bushels per acre. Other small grain is in the same wonderful prosper- ous condition. FULLERTON, July 26.—(Special)—One of the largest crops of small grain ever grown in Nance county is now being harvested.

Attorney Genernl Ch % Opinion of the Institute for the Denf. | LINCOLN, July 26.—(Special.)—A few days ince Governor Holcomb asked Attorney Gen- | eral Churchill to prepare an opinion regard- tive and the Board of Public Lands and Build- ings over the various state institutions with which each bad to deal. In order to facilitate the work the request of the governor was for- mulated in three questions, as follows: First—Is the Institute for the Deaf, located Omaha, of the same general class or char- acter as that of the Nebraska Institute for the Blind, located at Nobraska City? 1 ask the question with reference to the general management, control and supervision of these | institution cond—1Is the Tustitution for the Deat, lo- cated at Omaha, an edueational institute within the meaning of section 19 ot the constitution? tlon reads: “The commissioner of public lands and buildings, | the secretary of stata, treasurer and attorney | general shall form a board, which shall have | general supervision and control of all the buildings, grouds and lands of tho state, the state prison, asylums and other Institutions theraof, except those for eduvational purposes, s and be subjeet to snch rules and regulations as may be pre- seribed by law.” Third-—In the dishursements of public funds by the legislature for the various state in- stitutions, has the Board of Public Lands and Buildings the approval of claims and supervisory control over the expenditures for institutions other than those over which it has control, as mentioned in section 1, article vil, chapter 83, Compiled Statutes? In effect the opinion of the attorney gen- eral, which '8 a lengthy document, answers the three questions by saying that the Omaha Institute for the Deaf is an asylum and does not come within the meaning of the term educational institute. In his various definitions quoted the at- torney general says an asylum is “inviolate shelter,” “a place of amelioration and secur- ity,”” “an institution for receiving, main- talning and as far as possible ameliorating the condition of persons suffering from bodily defects, mental maladies and other misfor- tuntes, as an asylum for the deaf, for the insane, etc.” The last definition is from the Century cyclopedia. The attorney general ‘quotes a great many authorities in support of his position. He also directs attention to the fact that the legislature of 1877, which passed the law authorizing the Board of Public Lands and Buildings to have charge of state institutions was largely composed of ex-memibers of the 1875 constitutional ccnvention, He says that he has been led to put the same construction upon the definition of the term asylum which they did. He also quotes a decision of the supreme court, composed of Chief Justic Lake and Justices Maxwell and Gault, in which the two former hold that the Institute for the Deaf at Omaha is not an educational in stitution. Justice Gault filed a dissenting opinion at the time. nt T ves Fined.

Documents Contain Letters from Waller Making Charges Agninst WASHINGTON, July 26.—The officials of the State department are at present anxiously |awaiting information from Ambassador Eustis as to the manner tn which the sec ond demand for the record of the Waller court martial, which was held in Tamatave, had been recelved by France. It fs now learned definitely that the French govern o [ ment refused to furnish the record upon o [the first presentation of the request, and that this refusal was met by a more positive and pressing demand for all the papers. The department is informed by Mr. Eustis that this demand has been presented -| There has been quite sufficient for o|a reply, bul none has been received. The course of the French in their refusal to sup- ply a record is considered most unusual, and no explanation was vouchsafed, the de partment Is at a loss to know upon what grounds it was based. The supposition is gaining ground that France's refusal .to fur- nish the record is due to a desire not to give publicity to revelations made in the letters from Waller which were intercepted by the French authorities concerning the misconduct of some of the KFrench sol rs. In letters which from Waller during the past few days he reveals the fact that in his letters to his wife he informed her of various outrages umitted upon the native women of Tama tave, and gives such a circumstantial ac- count of these proceedings as to reflect on the French soldiery in Madagascar in a way which the French authorities might not de- sire to see published to the world. | There is good reason for believing that in case of a second refusal by France to supply the record a third demand will be made more peremptory. The State depart- ment authorities consider the case as one of fmportance, because liable to develop some very delicate and intricate questions before it shall be finally disposed of. It Is known that Secretary Gresham took this view of it, and it is believed that while he has not had occasion to go info detall his suc- | cessor, Mr. Olney, also feels that it is a matter of gravity AN 1| time n have been received here TAKING REST IN WALLER. TOPEKA, July 26.—Governor Morrill has addres.ed a letter to President Cleveland, again calling attention of the federal govern- ment to the fmprisonment of John L. Waller by the French government. He says: “The people of our state feel that a great out- rago has been perpetrated upon one of its citizens.

The council then took up the ques tion of reform with a vengea , and Sun- day picnics, liquor selling on Sunday, diso derly houses and other evils were ordered abated. Mayor Newell was not present at this week's meeting, and the council pro- coeded to revoke the reform legislation passed at the previous session and by a vote of 5 to 4 ordered it expunged from the records, The Woman's Cbristian Temperance union strongly resents the councll's iatest action and almost every issue of the local papers contains a communication on the subject The council insists that the saloon should be regulated by the county authorities in so far any violation of the statutes is concerned, and the action of the county authorities sice the burden has been shifted to them is awaited with keen interest, inasmuch as the Woman's Christian Temperance unlon women Ansist that the saloon screen must go.
