The | | wheat crop will probably be the largest in the history of the state. Corn in prac- | tically all parts of the state is In good | condltion, but a trifle late in growth. Ter- ritory In the lmmediate vicinity of Lin- coln has been dry recently, but all other | sections of the state bave had good rains | and I was unable to find any corn that had | | been killed by drouth.” This reassuring information was given a correspondent for The Bee this after- noou by Charles T. Neal, a grain dealer of Lincoln, who had just returned from | | an extensive trip over the state. He vis- | ited nearly all of the graln growing coun- | ties and gathered opinions relative to grain | trom the best posted men in each com- | munity, besides making personal investiga- | tions. “In some sections corn has been de- layed by lack of molsture, but the damage las mot been extensive,” continued Mr. Neal. “Just at this time corn does not need much rain and unless the dry season is protracted and accompauied Ly hot winds the cereal can get along well with- out a great deal of moisture. The harvesting of wheat vill be com- pleted within a few days. The acreage of this grain was larger than ever before | and the quality of the yleld Is good, there- | tore, it cannot be disputed that the wheat crop in Nebraska this year will be the greatest ever known. Clay county and other territory in its vicinity are almost a solid field of wheat. Thousands of ma- | chines are running night and day and the | harvest everywhere is being pushed with | all possible speed. “The people who are just now growling about lack of moisture—and there are not many of them outside of Lincoln—should not forget that a heavy rain last few days would have resulted far more Qisastrously than has the dry weather, for {1t would have damaged the wheat to a | great extent." | |KILLS PARENTS AND CHILD en Carringe Near Huntington with Fatal Renult INDIANAPOLIS, June 30.—A Wabash fast traln struck a carriage containing a man, his wite and two children at a crossing near Huntington tonight.

The machinists were granted what they nsked nine hours' work at the pay hitherto vailing, but the polishers, buffers and g moulders will have to fight for what they demand, There was but little discussion over the demand of the machinists for a nine-hour day, It was agreed to by the representatives of the company. The tug of war came when the proposition of the polishers was advanced. It was finally de- cided to ask Secretary Morrison to wire the company president, John H. Pattereon, to grant the company here power to sel- tle the matter. Mr. Patterson replied that it was too late; that the company had made a proposition and would stand by it. The company, he sald, was determined to run an open shop. After the recelpt of this telegram the conference adjourned.
