How to Select Crop Specimens lor the
AVorld'K Fair.
LINCOLNNeb. . . July 25. The fol
lowing , communications are of impor
tance to western farmers as indicating
the best manner of selecting specimens
of this year's crops for exhibition at
the world's fair. It is the result of
careful investigation by those particu
larly qualified to discuss the subject.
The last legislature made an appro
priation of $50,000 to gather and dis
play Nebraska products at the world's
Columbian exposition to be held at
Chicago in IS'Jo , and the pride of the
state depending upon the united action
of the agriculturalists in securing and
preserving for that exhibit the best
and most perfect of our cereal produc
tions , I deem it important that the
farmers be requested through the me
dium of the press of the state to gath
er specimens from the crops now ready
for harvest as an assurance of their
pride and interest in presenting to the
world the products of our soil at that
exposition. This effort may cost time
and labor , but it seems to me that it
is the sure way to demonstrate to the
world the fertility of our soil and com
pete successfully with our sister cereal
producing states.
If reports can be credited that come
from ail parts of the state , we have
the.most abundant crop of all kinds of
grain ever produced on Nebraska soil.
Many farmers are confident that their
wheat will yield from twenty-live to
forty , barley forty to seventy-five and
oats fifty and seventy-five bushels per
acre. Shall we improve this crop year
to fortify ourselves against the compe
tition of the largest display of cereal
products ever gathered under one roof
in the history of the world ?
We must make an effort to preserve
from this crop a sample of the best
variety and most perfect grain the pro
ducts of our soil , if only to verify the
statement , so often made , that our state
tiiity. A. G. SCOTT.
Hon. A. G. Scott has written a letter
concerning the great lair of 1893 , and
makes some valuable and timely sug
gestions. Fully endorsing Mr. Scott's
words , I would like to remark that now
is the time to gather small grain sam
ples in the straw. It , is an easy mat
ter to show threshed grain in a meas
ure , but the person looking at it has
no conception of the plant that pro
duced the grain. Nebraska wants to
place on exhibition at the world's fail-
in Chicago in 1893 , car loads of her
small grain as seen in the field , when
the self-binder harvests the grain.
Now is the time to prepare for this
grand exhibit , and 1 suggest that every
enterprising farmer in the state pre
pare a bundle of each kind grown by
him.
Select the best and pull up carefully
by the roots , taking pains not to breaker
or crack the stalk. Make the bundles
or sheaves not less than four inches in
diameter. When firmly tied , tie the
sheaf in the middle close to the heads
and close , not over six inches , from
the roots , always tying with a soft
string. Hang up by the roots in a
dark room where no mice , rats or
chickens can get at it. If every farmer
in Nebraska will prepare a sheaf as
above described of each kind of grain
produced by him and take good care
of it and the same is carefully collected
and kept in go.od order , one of the
grandest object lessons , showing the
capacity of Nebraska's rich soil can be
made at the world's fair. 1 would sug
gest that some one be appointed to
take charge of the collection and pre
servation of samples of grain of all
kinds.
f i-ont. rviivmncf. lu > r vm'i icn < i in
handling of these sheaves , and some
suitable place should be provided where
they could be stored until the time
comes to place the same on exhibition.
The grain grown next season will not
be in time to be placed on exhibition
at Chicago. Now is the time , and 1
urge every farmer in Nebraska to pre
pare a bundle each of rye , oats , bar
ley , millet. Has , sorghum , clover , tim
othy and corn on the stalk. Some one
will have to take charge of these col
lections in each county. I would sug
gest that some of the county ollicers
would be the proper persons to receive
the county contributions , take care of
them and hold them subject to the or
der of some person or nersons author
ized to collect them for the state.
1 would ask every newspaper pub
lished in the state to publish the fore
going and that they all editorially urge
the farmers of their counties to furn
ish samples of the great cereals grown
in this state. Let ever } ' sample be
tagged with the name of the producer ,
county , section , town and range where
grown.

Died in Horrible Ajiouy.
ST. Josin'H , Mo. , July 2-1. Sher
man Ilarter. a robust man of 27 years
and a giant in stature , died : it the city
prison this morning in terrible agony
from hydrophobia. He was bitten
over the eye two years ago while play
ing with a kitten and suffered no trou
ble from it until last Sunday morning ,
when he felt a pain near the old wound.
At the sight of water he was seixed
with convulsions. Yesterday he was
taken to the hospital and shortly after
wards there ensued an awful struggle
between him and live attendants. He
was strapped to the bed , but not until
ho had almost killed two men. Later
he was removed to the city prison for
greater safety and after a night of
awful agony died of convulsions.

OCEAN GKOVK , X. J. , July 2-1. The
hundreds of women and children in
bathing suits who walked down to
Lilligore's pavilion , for their daily
baths yesterday were met with a re
markable rebuff. At this pavilion was
a policeman who refused to allow them
to go into the surf until they had gone
home and secured wraps to hide their
legs. Even little boys and girls were
included in the order. If they had a
covering around their shoulders they
were allowed to pass the sentry , but
otherwise they could enjoy no swim.
During the day signs were posted up
on the pavilion to the cfl'eet that all
persons found walking through the
streets t without proper covering or
wearing bathing apparel would be ar
rested and lined $5 or imprisoned live
days in the county jail.
The dresses of the bathers at Ocean
Grove are and always have been more
than modest , and the order that they
must walk through the streets clad in
a heavy cloak or a gossamer is being
most bitterly received. The order is
signed by President Stokes , and he
asks all policemen and watchmen to
enforce the rules.
Wood' * Slayer Held Tor .Hurder.
HUGOTOX , Kan. , July 27. The pre
liminary examination in the case of the
state vs. James Brennan , charged with
the murder of Col. S. N. Wood at Hu-
goton on June 23 , was held before
Justice of the Peace Davis and two as
sociate justices , "Win. L. Glover and
R. L. MeKenzie. J. W. Ives , attorney
general , and William O'Connor , coun
ty attorney , appeared for the state.
The defendant was represented by J.
II. Pilzcr.
Long before the hour set for trial
there was a large crowd gathered. At
11 o'clock Mrs. W. L. Wood , wife of
deceased , and quite a number ofvit -
nc ses and friends from Woodsdale
drove up. Court was held in a large
hall in the public school building and
which was filled to its utmost capacity.
Dr. C. L. Abnather , coroner of Ste
vens county , wasjexamined , after which
Mrs. Wood testified , followed by Mrs.
11. J. Carpenter , both of whom slated
that the defendant stood in the church
door for some time while they sat in a
buggy six feet south of the door , wait
ing for Col. Wood to come out of the
court room ; that after passing Brennan
and almobt reaching the buggy de
fendant shot him in the back ; that Mr.
Wood threw up both hands and started
to run west pursued by Brennan , who
lired the second Miot near the south
west corner of the building ; that Wood
turned the corner , running north to
the northwest corner , where he was
overtaken by Brennan , and on turning
to look back Brennan thrust the pistol
in his face and fired , the third thot
passing through his head" ; that Wood
fell unconscious and expired in twenty
minutes.
No evidence was introduced by de
fendant and no attempt was made by
the state to connect an } ' other party or
parties with the killing.
Constable Aurell had a heavv < rnard
to protect the prisoners , while Sheriff
Cann had his men posted in every con
ceivable place , prepared to suppress
any unlawful breaks by the friends of
either party. Good order prevailed in
the court room and on the streets.
Both parties seemed to be entirely sat
isfied with the proceedings.
The prisoner was remanded to the
Reno county jail without bail to await
his trial for murder in the first degree.

WASHINGTON , July 25. The secre
tary of the interior decided today , an
j old case from the Beatrice land dis
trict , Albert M. Flemming against
Frank E. Bowe. In 1879 Bo we. then
a boy of thirteen years , made a settle
ment upon land in the Otoc and Mis
souri Indian reservation. Under the
law of the reservation he was not com
pelled to live upon the land and in a
short time he sold the tract. Jt was
afterwards claimed that he had aban
doned and several older counts were
made asrainst him. and once the cae
was decided against him but was
brought up on review. The secretary
now directs the commissioner to exam
ine the case and if it can be patented
under the act of March : > , 1891 , to
award it to Bowe. The land is near
Beatrice and has become very valua
ble. The father of Bowe also has a
case which this decision is expected to
effect in a like favorable manner.
Both houses of the Argentine con
gress have voted a reduction in the
duties on petroleum and rice.

buno publishes the following : Cant , j
Win. A. Gavett of this city yesterday
received an important letter from Mr.
J. II. Manley , of Augusta , Me. , in re
sponse to a letter written by him on
the 18th. The tubjects of inquiry on
the part of Mr. Gavett were the health
of Secretary Blaine and his attituuo
affecting the earnest desire of the mul
titude of his admirers in the republi
can party that he become its standard
bearer in 1892. The replies are espe
cially significant when it is remem
bered that Mr. Manley has for years
been a warm persoaal friend and the
political confident and advisor of the
bccretary. In effect Mr. Manley as
serts that Mr. Blaine is almost fully
recovered and that he will return to
Washington in the fall with all his
vigor and strength of both mind and
body. He further states that Mr.
Blaine cannot become a candidate for
the republican nomination , but that in
his opinion if the republican party
wants him for a standard bearer in
1892 , all it has to do is to nominate
him and that he will accent.
To Hold for Hiirhi-r I'riiT * .
WASHINGTON , July 2-1. Mr. II. W.
Aver , secretary to President Polk of
the farmers' alliance and manager in
this city of the reform press bureau ,
which is also known as the "alliance
press bureau , " ' said this afternoon that
the work of sending out circulars de
signed to fehow the farmers of the
country that it was to their advantage
to hold back the wheat crop , was ac
tively proceeding in this city as well
as in St. Paul because of its location in
the great wheat belt. Mr. Aver said
that there have been 400,000 of these
circulars sent out from Washington
and during the next few days an avcr-
Jirrii nf I/Ml (1(1(1 ( ( ; ii iv w'Ul 1i Tiifjilon
until more than a million of the circu
lars altogether are issued. The circu
lars , he said , will also be published in
about two thousand weekly papers
with which the bureau is connected.
He remarked that he need not say
of course that it was the circu
lar which had brought about the re
sult , but he had noticed in a recent }
market report that as a matter of fact ]
the actual movement of wheat was 140
car loads less than had been estimated.
Mr. Ayer said the information that the
issue of such a circulation by alliance
men was in contemplation became pub
lic prematurely about two wee.cs ago ,
when a circular in course of prepara-
lion was published in a newspaper. A
final decision to issue the circular had :
'
not at that time been made and many
leading alliance men were unaware of
it , but it has since been determined
on. He explained that the executive ,
committee of the alliance had not acted '
on this matter and that by the circular - \
lar no order was given to alliance men '
to hold back their crop , that being |
contrary to the methods of the alii- j
ancc. What is done by this circular '
is 10 give the farmers information as
to facts in regard to the n oral's wheat
crop , with the suggestion that wheat
some weeks later than the present j
lime would bring a higher nrice.
PIZOKM. 111. . July 24. Lewis E.
Riettcrman of this city , who has just j
returned from Chicago , has in his possession - j
session the proof of one of the most
interesting cases known in surgical
history. He was one of the passen-
gero on the ill-fated Niagara Fails excursion - I
cursion which went down to such ter
rible destruction at Chatsworth. He
was in the last coach , ' leaning on his
hanus in an open wmuow wnen the
crash came. Nearly everybody in the
car was injured and several men were
killed outright. Rieiterman's face was
badly cut and bruised ana he was unconscious -
conscious for several hours. His face
was sewed up and healed lapichy.
Since then he has suffered constant
pains in the head , but local physicians
attributed it to the --hock of tne wrecic
and treated him accordingly. t
Last November , while blowing his
nose vigorously , he blew out a wire
nail Ijj inches long , badly rusted. He
and his friends were cor.tident that his
trouble was at an end when the naii
was dislodged , but he still suffered a
dull pain in his head. In June he
went to Chicago and was examined by
the staff surgeon at Ru = h medical col
lege. The physician found a foreign
body in Ilietterman's head at the inside
corner of the left eye. and in the pres
ence of a room full of surgeons cut the
patient's face. Imbedded in the head ,
back of the nose , was found an irregular - |
lar piece of oak li inches long , j inch '
thick and J inch wide.Tnis fragment
of the window sill had been carried in
his head for four years. The naint
had been absorbed by his blood. The
case was reported to ail the leading
doctors in Chicago and is pronounced
one of the most remarkable in history.

many chances of lockjaw. The news-
of the shooting spread rapidly and
more than 1.500 pe'ople soon gathered

squad of policemen quickly arrived and.
surrounded the place , but would not.
