Light Crop in Nuckolls County. ) SUPERIOR, Neb., Aug. 6.—(Special}— The corn crop in Nuckolls county this year will be very light. But few flelds will yleld more than a few bushels to the acre. But In spite of this almost total aunthila- tlon of the corn crop, times are not hard In this county. The acreage of winter wheat was larger this year than ever be- fore, and it turned out from sixteen to twenty bushels to the acre. Hay ls very + and alfalfa has made but oue crop insteud of the usual three, but the heated term did not wipe out the fodder and other “roughness,” and there Is no panic-stricken desirc on the part of the farmers to get | their stock to market at any price offered. | All their energles are directed toward | gatherlng enough feed to save their stock from sacrifice. They are succeeding so well | that the stock shipments are even less than usual at this season. ‘The people face this failure in better condition, financially, than in any previous years. Few have a mort- page hanglug over their farms and homes, and but few have outstanding debts to any considerable amount The Immediate result of the corn failure will be to vastly increase the acreage of winter wheat. Farmers that never before put in a crop of this cereal will plant a se portlon of thelr corn lands in wheat this fall Big Vield of Whent at Genon.

LINCOLN, Aug. 5 —(Special.)—Chair H. T. Dobbins of the republican county central committee this evening promul- gated the rules which will govern the pro- edings at the coming county primaries. These rules are the same as were drawn up by the advisory committee last week, with the exception that the Australian bal- lot system has been eliminated. A caucus will be called in ach precinct. If anyone wants to place a contesting delegation Iin the field to dispute the choice of the cau- cus delegates he must file his list with the chairman before 10 o'clock on the first day of the primaries. All candidates must fur- uish tueir own tickets. The judges and lerks must apply themselves with regis- tration blanks and books for recordiug the votes. Primary election officers must tify to the results in their precincts and transmit a report to the central commit- tee. Concerniug thesp rules Chalrman Dobbins says “These rules rcpresent the wishes and | desires of the great majority of the candl- | dates. They brief und yet as compres They are a combina- tion of the new and the old. They com- pel the giving of notice to a delegation or candidate whose precinct is to be con- tested at the primary and prevent any eleventh hour, secret fight on him. While s as the starting point and giving It due welght, they yet open a way to any man who feels dissatisfled with that caucus to make a fight and yet not be a bolter. They give security to every can- didate that his opponent cannot run in any democrats or populists on him. The Australian ballot plan is undoubtedly the ideal one for running a primary, but I did not feel justified In going contrary to the desires of the majority of the men whose interests were directly involved in the pri- wary. The regulation as to size and color of ballot ought to give the same result— secrecy and lack of opportunity for coer- cion and bribery—while at the same time they do away with the cumbrousness and cost in time and money of the Australian plan.’ Report cer- on Bartley's Pa In accordance with the requirements of the law governing the parole of prisoners from the state penitentiary Joseph 8.

State Nominating Convention To E. “I belleve the committees tomorrow wi' decide to hold the state nominating conven- tlons simuitaneously during the first part of September,” sald Chalrman P. L. Hall of | the democratic state central committee to- night. The populist and democratic com- mittees will meet here tomorrow afternoon to fix the timg and place for the conven- tions. It is generally conceded that Lincoln will be chosen as the meeting place, but to the time there is a difference of opinion. A democratic committeemen from Douglas county sald tonight that a vigorous effort would be made by some of the members for |a late convention and he predicted that it would be successtul. He said any time be- tween September 15 and 20 would be satis- factory to the Douglas county democrats. Chairman Hall, however, is opposed to the late convention idea. He thinks the candidates and the party workers should have at least two months for campaign work, but he declined tonight to say whether or not he would insist on his com- mittee following his preference. Expects Fuslon. “Do I think the committeo will agree for fusion? 1 certainly do,” remarked Mr. Hall when questioned “There may be some opposition, but T don't think it will be very strong. I am for fusion and I believe it Is the prevailing sentiment among the members of the com- mittee: ' Chairman J. H. Edmisten of the populist committee arrived today from his ranch in northwestern Nebraska. It is understoot that he will be a candidate for re-elecetion as chairman, but there are already several | position, | candidates in the fleld for that among them being P. H. Barry of Greely Center. The election, however, will prob- ably be delayed until after the convention. The committees will meet separately.
