THE Lincoln Journal says that Geo.
W. Lowry has received crop reports
from his agents scattered over a large
part of the state , and he says they give
assurances of a big crop. Mr. Lowrey
is now of the opinion that the oat crop
will not only be large , but actually the
biggest ever raised in the state. One
of his agents wrote a doleful letter two
weeks ago in which he said there could
not possibly be any oats , but the same
man wrote again yesterday declaring
he had not believed , such a change
could have been wrought in two weeks.
He said prospects were good and a rain

T1lE managers of the state fair met
in Omaha last week. Some comment
was occasioned by a report that had
been printed in a state paper , to the
effect that the exhibitors would be obliged -
liged to pay switching charges on their
exhibits. This is most emphatically
denied by the managers. There hays
not been a time in the last decade when
exhibitors have been calledon , to pay
these charges at the Nebraska state
fair : The fair association has always
paid them and it is one of the express
provisions in the agreement by which
the fair was taken to Omaha , that all of
these charges should be paid without
expense to the exhibitor.
Aid Sent to Veferans.
The final report of the relief commitr
tee of the Grand Army of the Republic
has been filed. The relief committee
was composed of ex-Department Commander -
mander Church Howe of Auburn , T. S.
Clarkson of Omaha and A. M. Trimble
of Lincoln and was appointed at the
state encampment which met at Hastings -
ings last February. Before the committee -
mittee had been officially appointed
Commander Howe and his adjutant ,
Mr. Trimble , had commenced the relief
work , and up to the time of the Hastings -
ings encampment had collected 2,348 ;
09 in cash and disbursedl.048.52,1eav-
ing a balance of $399.57 to be turned
over to the relief committee. In addition -
tion to the cash Messrs. Howe and
Trimble had made 144 shipments of
supplies , consisting of 851 packages of
flour , prvisions and' clothing , together
with 400 tons of coal and several cars
of wood and grain , the estimated value
of'the whole being $5,725.
' The report shows th ; + , t the relief committee -
mittee hind disbursed $22O49.4G.
This amount has gone to the veteran
soldiers in needy circumstances and
has been distributed through the Grand
Army posts in the drouth affected dis-
triet. 'There was no cumbersome sys
tern connected with the distribution of
the relief funds.When an application
for assistance came from a Grand Army
post it-was taken for granted that the
post knew exactly what it wanted.
Immediately upon receipt of such application -
plication the committee would mail a
draft 'for the amount needed to supply
the relief and a.telegram would be sent
stating that the funds were . on their
way. Each post purchased the supplies -
plies at home with the cash sent by the
relief committee. In this way two-
thirds of the money applied to the relief -
lief of needy veterans was not diverted
to the railroads.for . freight charges.
The'committee' ' also distributed an immense -
mense amount of supplids , chiefly coal ,
clothing and provisions. A'large part
of these supplies were carried free by
the railroads

THE TRADE REVIEW.
A GENUINE BOOM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
Reports from Every Part of the UnIor.
Are Favorable-Better Crop Conditions -
tions a Good Feature-Failures for
tire Week
New York , June 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says :
. .
.It is no longer a question whether
business Improves. Not for a long time
have our reports from all parts of the
country been so uniformly favorable.
The daily average of bank clearings in
June is 24.8 per cent larger than last
year , though 11.4 per cent less than In
1892. The most potent Influence has
been the receipt of more favorable advices -
vices regarding growing crops. Labor
troubles are getting out of the way ;
wages in many establishments are rising -
ing , and , with the Iron industry just
now leading , there is general improvement -
ment in manufactures. Monetary. condition -
dition also helps. The time draws near
when , with good crops , exports will
bring gold hither , and though foreign
Operations in stocks and bonds 'have
been insignificant this week , the effect
of the previous transaations has not
been exhausted.
"Much diminished receipts of money
from the interior indicate better employment -
ment in business and especially at the
West , the volume of commercial loans
steadily rises and is now fair for this
season , even in a good year. Western
receipts for two weeks of June were
3,116,680 bushels of wheat , against 3,001 ;
202 east year , while Atlantic exports ,
flour Included , were only 2,364,847 bushels -
els , against 4,630,227 last year. Effects
of the rise In prices were seen in the of-
ficlal report of May exports , showing a
decrease of 1,000,000 bushels from Atlantic -
lantic , but an increase of 2,000,000 from
Pacific in exports. The price was reduced -
duced 21E in trading. Corn also declined
about lc , with better reports of growth.
"The official statement of 14.8 decrease
in cotton acreage was quickly found , in
view of revised government estimates
for last year , to mean more than 20 ;
000,000 acres now growing cotton , which
much exceeds the best unofficial estimates -
mates , and from an area no greater over
9,000,000 bales were produced in 1591 , so
that the report gave no aid to prophets
of evil. That some reduction would be
well for the south is clear , but the heavy
present surplus will cover a larger loss
than seems probable. Cottonmanufac-
turers look for a speedy settlement of labor -
bor troubles and find a moderate demand -
mand for low , and medium , and heavy
weight goods , while some of the cheaper -
er lines of spring goods have been
opened with encouraging results , but as
to better trade there'is still great uncertainty -
tainty about prices. The anthracite coal
trade does not maintain the improvement -
ment recently reported , and with palpable -
ble overproduction , bad faith being
charged again , the price has declined 25
cents. The coke producers about Con-
nellsville have not yet made open declaration -
ration of their new compact , but contracts -
tracts are being made at $1.35 for the
last half year , with provisions for advance -
vance If wages rise.
"Failures for the last week have been
241 in the United States , against 232 last
year , and 24 in Canada , against 40 last
rear. "
Indiana Crop Outlook Bad.
Indianapolis , Ind. , June 17.-Returns
from 254 townships in this state show
that the average amount of wheat
plowed up is 4.5 per cent. It is estimated -
mated that the average yeield in these
townships will be 7.8 bushels an acre.
If the reports are correct , and the
same ratio will hold good throughout
the state , the total yield for the year ,
based on an acreage of last year , will
be only 19S15,307 bushels , a decrease of
61.2 per cent in the yield. It is expected
that the reports from a large majority
of the townships will be in during next
week when a more concise estimate of
the crop can be made than is now pos-
ible.
Threaten a Lynching.
Peoria , Ill. , June 17.-A hundred farmers -
ers living in the vicinity of Alta , this
county , have organized a posse and are
searching the country for R. W. God-
dard , who is wanted for attempting
criminal assaults on the 4-year-old
daughter of Mr. Bliss and the 13-year-
old daughter of Mr. Ford. The latter
declares he will shoot the offender on
sight , and tile excitement is at fever
heat. Goddard was formerly a resident
here , is a blacksmith , and has a wife
and two children.
Cutworms in Kentucky Tocacco.
Cincinnat , Ohio. June 17.-About six
weeks ago there were reports of ray-
ages of the army worm ! n Kentucky ,
but the stories subsided until yesterday ,
when reports came that in Morgan
county , Ky. , cutworms are working injuriously -
juriously on young tobacco plants.
Similar reports came from Owen county -
ty and Booth county , Ky. , and Brown
county ; Ohio. The state commissioner
of agriculture gives the tobacco acreage -
age in Kentucky as SO percent , and the
condition as 68 per cent.
Can Race at Roby , Ind. 1
Indianapolis , Ind. , June 17.--The Supreme -
preme court adjourned yesterday without -
out handing down the decision in theReby
Roby case. The governor and the at-
torney-general had the appeal set forward - I
ward and confidently expected the decision -
cision in the recent injunction case
would come before the summer vaca-
tion. There will be no way to get at
the Supreme court until fall unless it
should come together in vacation.
Revolution Is Disastrous.
Washington , , June 17.-The state department - t
partment has received information of
the serious devastation the revolution
n Colombia is causing. The government -
ment is out of funds and is making tax
evies which are hard to bear , placing
an enormous export tax on coffee , the.
principle crop of the country. The revoc
ution also has drained the country of
men , and has resulted in thedestruc- ,
tion of crops and of animals used for c
transportation. f
To Erect a Statue of Cromwell.
London , June.17.-The proposal of the
government to erect a Statue of Oliver
Cromwell was adopted in , the house of

passage of the motion was secured only
by the support ! the , Orangemen. p

. CARLI3LE AT LCU1SVILL ? .
The Secretary of the Treasury Talks
Against Silver.
Louisville Ky. , June 17.-Secretary
Carlisle last evening made an address
on the currency question. He repeated
his argument that the undervaluetfinet-
al would be driven out of the country
by the adoption of a bimetallic system ,
and at some length paid attention to
the claims that the fall in the price of
silver was due to its demonetization.
He said : "It is insisted that the fall in
the price of silver is attributable to the
legislation in Germany , the United
States , France and various other countries -
tries during and since the year 1873 , and
most illogically it is also insisted that
notwithstanding the reduced price of
that metal is the result of the unfriendly -
friendly action of a great many governments -
ments acting in concert and with a settled -
tled purpose , the United States alone
can restore the value of silver. Of
course if It required the action 'of
twelve or thirteen different governments
to bring the price of silver to its present -
ent state it would seem quite clear that
no one of them alone could restore it.
The fall in the price of silver was not
due to the legislation complained of butte
to an enormous overproduction. While
the farmers and other producers are
struggling to live comfortably and meet
their obligations , owners of silver mines
have accumulated enormous fortunes.
That the flat of the government does
not make money was illustrated by the
history of the trade dollar. What happened -
pened to the trade dollar would be exactly -
actly what would happen to all other
silver dollars if free and unlimited
coinage was adopted. "
MUST NOT CARRY ARMS.
Trial of Alleged Lynchers of Barrett
Scott Commenced.
Butte , Neb. , June 17.-The celebrated
Scott trial is now commenced. The at-
torney-general entered a nolle in the
case of Pinkerman , Stanton , Roy , and
Oberle , four of the defendants , leaving
but threee and reducing the preemptory -
tory challenges of the defendants from
112 to thirty-three. Two hundred tales-
men have been called already and nine
)
were passed for cause. At that 'rate
it will take a week to secure a jury. An
effort is being made to secure a tent i
owing to the poor sanitary condition of
the building. The court instructed the
sheriff and bailiff to see that no one
entered the courtroom carrying arms.
Excitement is very high , its the people
of this county are indignant that thei
case is being tried in it , and the attor-
ney-general is wholly responsible for
this. To-day witnesses to the number I
of 200 will arrive. W. F. Gurley of
Omaha is here to assist the state.

and is probably about $75,000.
Congressman Bemann Better.
Vandalia , Ill. , June 17.-Congressman
Remann's condition has slightly improved -

BRITISH CONSUL WILL TAKE
ACTION IN A STRANGE CASE.
The Reason for the Abandonment of
the Burning Vessel , Why Not , by Its
Crew , Not Yet Known-Yesterday's
sews from Across the Water.
St. Male , June 13.-Particulars have
been received here of the desertion of
the passengers by the crew of the British -
ish 'vessel Why Not after fire broke out
on board the ship while on her way to
the island of Jersey. It appears that
fire was discovered in the Why Not's
hold Saturday and while the sailors
were attempting to quench the flames
a bucket was dropped overboard. A
boat was lowered to recover it and the
captain jumped into this boat and was
followed by the crew.
One passenger sprang overboard and
swam after the boat , into which he was
reluctantly taken. The deserted passengers -
sengers were greatly alarmed and the
excitement among them increased when
a small boat was seen to be pulling for
Erquaywhere the crew eventually land
ed. Taking advantage of a breeze the
passengers handled the Why Not as
best they could and succeeded in beaching -
ing her near Erquay. The incident has
caused intense excitement at St. Brieux ,
the nearest town to Erquay , and the
matter is being thoroughly Investigated -
ed by the local authorities.
The captain of the Why Not , although
not under arrest , is closely watched by
the police. It is understood that the
British consul here will take the matter -
ter up and upon his report will depend
further action.
COULDN'T SCARE HIM.
Casliler of a Montana Bank Not Afraid of
a Gun.
Butte , Mont. , June 13.-A man , who
refused to give his name , entered the
Silver Bow National bank here at the
noon hour yesterday and demanded
money from W 0. Thomas , who was in
charge. The demand was backed by a
revolver which was thrust through the
paying teller's window. Thomas
jumped behind the counter , grabbed a
revolver and fired six shots Into the
ceiling to attract the attention of people -
ple In the street. The robber ran out of
the building and with his pistol ordered -
dered people out of his way.
A policeman heard the shooting and
met the man running away. A battle
took place between the two and was
kept up for a block , both emptying
their weapons at each other. A part of
the officer's coat was carried away by a
bullet , but otherwise no damage was
done. The robber was captured by a
deputy sheriff. He is a stranger here ,
having arrived ten days ago , along with
a gang of safe-blowers. He secured no
money.
The officers of the bank gave the po-
Ilceman and deputy sheriff $100 each for
their work. The bankers had heard
that an attempt would be made to rob
them , but paid little attention to the
warning.
