THE SITUATION IN THE WEST.
A I'lat tsuioulli Tourlttt Tell of IliM OI-
iM-rvationn In Srotts HlufT County.
ALLIANCE, Jscb., Aug. 2a (Editor
News) I promised to drop you a few
linos wlicn I loft I "iattinouth. Afte
a daylight view of tho crops from th?
Missouri river to Grand Island, one
can't help concurring with those easl-
ci n land suckn: a who pronounced the
corn crop in this section marvelous,
for I Jon t believe a greater corn crop
ever grew out of the earth than is now
growing in this district. The wheat
crop looks good, hut the oat crop is
aluiti.it an entire failure, being burned
in the a hock, while manv fields weie
never cut, the iu.t having entirely
,-uined it. I noticed one thing, though.
there is no old corn in the cribs west
of Lincoln, while around every farm
Louse lheie are large droves of pigs
something that was not in sight hist
year. I wonder how these fanners
will harvest the corn and have mucl
lime left to Ulk. 10 to 1 ?

niriiiii ;it imuiice, i munu iiic
town most exceptionally dall. Some
building going on, Ixi t everyone com
plaining of hard times, scarce money
and no busines. The people here take
a philosophic view of the situation
and attribute it to tho timidity of
capitoli.its more than tho scarcity of
money. This is the town where Mr
Hampton, the leading banker, called
in all his loans on the 1st day of No
vemoer, anu reiuseu to loan any
money alter that time. The political
situation is mixed here as other
places. F. M. Dorringlon, an
1 1 t il -V
oiu i laiismouinian, fissured me
that MeKinley would carry this
town, but doubtful a9 to the
I attended a MeKinley meet
ing here Tuesday night, at which
there was an attendance of over 3(H),
and with no attraction hut local speak
ers. Tho club ha? a membership of
nearly half the voters of the town.
They have a larger and bettor dec
orated hall than tho I'l.ittMnouth club
ami hold their meetings every two
weeks. Tho Brvanites have an or
ganization, but no hall or regular
place of meeting. An immense
amount of campaign literature of the
MeKinley kind is being distributed in
the country, and apparently is bear
ing fruit. Say, the middle-of-tho-road
populists will not support Bryan. I
talked with an old-time one hero the
other day. lie said: "I belonged to
the greenback party whn wo built up
a strong party by hard work and be
gan to bo felt in national legislation.
We-fused a few times with tho demo
crats. They took the party and left
us the fuse. I then helped build up
the farmer's alliance. This groat
organization was lost in a fusioj with
a conglomerated mass of political
outcasts, mountebanks, and irre
sponsible agitators, wnose soul ambi
tion' Lwas possession of oiliccs and
drawing of salaries. Well, by dint of
enerTy we have built up another
strong party. We ha"e foiced the
democrats to com o to us in every close
fight in tho last few j'ears. We have
split the democratic organization in
two, and if we maintain the party or
ganization we are bound to bo one of
the great parties of tho future, but
here ' steps In these politicians for
revenue and insist that this democratic
whale shall swallow the peoplo's party
Jonah. They may, but never with my
vote.'.'
Now there is many a populist in
Scotts BlutT countj- who feels just that
v ay. They say that if Bryan is beaten
the silver democrats mi st come to tho
populis-ts, as they will be so helplessly
in the minority that thej' will not be
able to maintain a party organization
of any strength or respectability after
this election. But if Bryan is elected
it will Certainly e the death of the
populist party, and will form a new
party that in the future will be de
serted by a large portion of the own
populist party, and will certainly be
met by a party eomo-ed of the com
bined strength of the republican and
sound money democratic party. Why
tohould the great populist party be
swallowed up by this unknown and un
tried clement of oHioo-seeking agita
tors. There are at least 10 per cent of
the populists in this country that will
never support Bryan.
The irrigated crops in Scotts BlutT
county are good, but not up to last
year. Enclosed I send you a program
of a picnic held Aug. 2 at Ferry's
grove in this county. This appears in
tho day's fun: "Judge Potter of
Cheyenne will discuss free silver. 10
to 1; Al Yoder will ride (or try to ride)
the farm us pitching horse, Old Foison
Weed, while Ne'.se Ferry will tackle
Oli Tnrantula. These famous horses
never full in doing the graje vine or
swapping oiids; fivo dollars to the one
that can tie a wild steer down in the
shortest time."
Such is wild wst amusement and
ent-rtai ument.

Corn In Good Shape.
Following is tho report of tho cli
mate and crop service of the weather
bureau for the week ending Monday
Aug. 21, lS'.'G:
The past week has been cool and
cloudr. Tho temperature has aver
aged three degrees below normal in
the eastern part of the stato and five
degrees below normal in the western
part. The daily maximum tempera
tures have been SU and above 1M) do
grees only on one day.
The rainfall has exceeded an inch
along the southern border of the state
and showers have occurred over the
state generally, the amount in most
sections leing between a quarter and
a half of an inch.
The abundant laiufall in tho south
cm portion of the stato during the
past ten days has been very beneScial
to the corn crop in most of the sec
tious. In tortious of the southwestern
sections the rain came too late to save
most of the crop. The cool cloudy
weainer has Kept the corn growing
in good condition, but it has not ma
tured as fast as it would with drier
and warmer weather. Tho crop is.
however, more advanced than usual
at this season of the year and most of
the crop will be beyond danger of in
jury from frost in about two weeks.
Fall plowing is making good pro
gress generally, although a lew re
ports indicate that the ground is too
dry to plow welL A largo acreage of
winter wheat will be sown in the
southeastern section this fall. Pas
tures continue good. Very little pro
gress has iRjen made in haying the
past week lecause of the cloud' damp
weather.
IN THE CUUKTS.
IliHtrit't Court.
The second of the Gillespies,
charged with harness stealing, had
his trial today and the jury, after
being out a few minutes, found him
juilty as charged.
John Hansen, one of the fellows
charged with burglarizing the store
f C C. Bucknell at Alvo last June,
came into court tins morning and
pleaded guilty to the charge. His pal
was sentenced to the penitentiary
during tho previous term of court.
No Money Craze In the Kant.
S. W. Fowler, a successful farmer in
Cass county for thirty-three years.
returncd.this morning from a visit in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Mr.
Fowler took occasion while on his visit
to investigate tho political situation in
the different states and was gratified
to find that almost to a man they were
for MeKinley and honest money. He
aid people were surprised when they
earned he was from Nebraska that he
was for MeKinley; that a groat many
people were lalioring under the haluci-
ation that because Bryan was a resi
eni of Nebraska that state would go
or free silver, but ho very effectually
disabused them of that idea, when he
told them of tho flourishing MeKinley
clubs that had been organized in the
state.
Mr. Fowler visited many factories
and workshops and found the employes
nearly all enthusiastic for MeKinley.
In Kock Island, Ills., he went through
the largo shops, tho workmen in which
were largely comosed of Swedes, and
he was unable to find any one in favor
of free silver. lie has many relatives
in Indiana and Ohio who have always
voted the democratic ticket, but are
unable to swallow the Chicago plat
form and will vote for MeKinley. He
says that thero is no doubt as to the
states he visited rolling up large re
publican majorities this fall.
He was very much amused at the
questions some of tho people asked
him about Nebraska. They were at a
loss to know how the people subsist in
the drouth-stricken state, where they
are obliged to turn out and fight In
dians at frequent intervals. However,
Mr, Fowler is very well satisfied with
Nebraska, having raised thirty-two
good crops out of thirty-three.
Death of an Infant.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Short, who re
sido in the south part of town, were
called uon to mourn the loss of their
infant boy last night. The child had
been ill for several days with cholera
infantum. The funeral was held at
the resilience at four o'clock this
afternoon and intei ment was made in
Oak Hill cemetery.

J. A. Elam. representing the Collier
Publishing company of Omaha, was in
tho city today. Mr. Elam is collect
ing1 agent for the company and has a
large portion of Southorn Iowa in
cluded in his territory. In a conver
sation with a News reporter Mr.Elam
said that it was astonishing to sec
how the bottom had fallen out of
Bryan's boota in the Hawkeye state.
He was on board an excursion train
running into Clarinda the other day
when the train was polled by a Me
Kinley and Bryan man. The result
was nenety-scven for MeKinley and
thirty-four for I3ryan. This is about the
condition of things in all portions of
the state he had visited unless it was
n Mills and Fremont counties, where
Bryan is a little stronger.
After you spend a day or two at tho
state fair with your family the proper

October. Its success is assured.

Lincoln News.
Toenis Dushbohm, a prominent far
mer living in Middle Creek precinct
in Lancastor county had a very nar
row escapo from death last evening
while oporating a thresher on his
farm. He inadvertently stepped too
close to the machine and one of the
gearings caught him by the clothing,
tearing from off him nearly every
thing he had on and had it not been
that the horses which were furnish
ing the power halted, be would have
boon drawn into the machinery and
badly ernshed. As it was, he was
painfully bruised and shaken up, but
no fatal injuries were sustained.
John Currie, of Lincoln, who is
known by a good many Plattsmouth
people, having been in the city soli
citing subscriptions to the Lincoln
statue which is to be placed on the
capitol grounds, seems to have felt a
personal responsibility for the success
of the preject and started to do the
sculpture work himself, being a stone
mason by trade. . Before he had
mutiliated the marble to any great
extent, however, ho was induced by
Governor Ilolcomb to abandon his
task.
Mr. Bryan says that ho received
$150 a month while ho was editor of
the World-Herald, and Mr. Hitchcock
says that he received $."0 a week.
Somebody has been doing some
crooked figuring or else we are hid

Deeritig Roller Bearing; ideal Mower, 4 1-2 and S-Foot Cut,
A. Round of Startling Victories
Has marked the path of the Doering Ideal Mower. No grass is too heavy or too light, no land is too rough and no
service is too severe for this plucky little Ideal hero. Instead of friction bearings it has rollers and balls; the crank
shaft is parallel with the ground so that the SELF-ADJUSTING PITMAN moves steadily BACK and forth in work
man like fashion: the separated ledger plates hold the grasses like the roller of a feed cutter, and nothing can escape
or draw in under the sickle; the adjustable drag bar pays the interest on the investment.
The driver of the Ideal Mower can cut as slow as he likes and it is never necessaay to back when starting.
The use of roller and ball bearings, has eliminated friction, and instead of grinding the bearings all the power
is used in cutting grass.
