CONDITIONS IN NEBRASKA.
I Corn 1'rotnieca a Largo Yield , Except In
i the Slute's Gordon Spot.
McCook , Neb. , Aug , 2-On ( crossing
' the Missouri River running to Lincoln ,
the Burlington land agents' party
found a prospect which , from an agriCultural -
Cultural standpoint , could not be ex-
celled. Corsi is luxuriant and sturdy
and every stalk shows large-sized ears
sticking out from it. It is so far advanced -
vanced that the uninitiated could be
made tq believe very readily that it Is
past all harm from any source. Not-
1 withstanding its fine appearance , however -
ever , it is not yet out of danger of frost ,
and will not be for at"lcast two weeks.
A fine crop of oats has been reaped in
this section. Much of it is still in the
shock. and a good deal of it has been
stacked. It is thrashing out from
I thirty to fifty bushels to the acre and
will average about forty. The wheat
crop dma all been harvested , and farms -
ere are now busy plowing their land
preparatory to putting in another crop
of winter wheat
Leaving Lincoln the outlook is much
I less promising. Between Waverly and
Fairmont , a distance of sixty miles , is
a stretch of country which has usually
been described as the garden spot of
Nebraska. Crops have always been
abundant here , however poorly they
may have been in other parts of the
state. Last year and this year have
been the only known exceptions to this
rule. Somehow this belt has suffered
severely this year. It has rained copiously -
ously on all sides of it and all around
it , but the clouds refused to give it a
drop of moisture until too late to save
the corn crop. For a stretch of couia-
try sixty miles long and sixty miles
wide the corn crop is a comparative
failure. It will only run from a quarter
I
to half a crop , averaging as a whole
& about one-third an ordinary crop.
{
6 Oats have not faired so badly. They
arc thrashing out from thirty-five to
forty bushels an acre. Heavy rains fell
over this section at the end of last week
tI They came too late , however , to save
the bulk of the corn. Very much of it
ti Is wilted beyond redemption and a good
deal of it has already been cut for fod-
der. Wheat in this section is thrashing
out fifteen bushels to the acre.
West of Fairmont the scene again
changes and an ocean of waving corn ,
strong and luxuriant , is to be seen as
tl far as the eye can reach In every direcs
1 tion. The crop from Hastings to the
l western boundary of the state is practically -
tically made , and nothing but a killing
frost can now blight it. It will average
not less than sixty bushels to the acre ,
4 and very many large fields will yield
fifty bushels.
Around McCook is where the disasters -
ters of last year were most severely
felt. The gains of this year have more
than made up for the losses then sus-
tained. The whole section of country
looks like a veritable garden , and the
1r 1 people feel buoyant beyond expression.
I Winter wheat is thrashing out about
I twenty bushels to the acre and the best
fields are yielding thirty bushels.
Spring wheat is running from twelve
i to eighteen bushels to the acre. Oats
t ' average from fifty to sixty bushels , the
best fields tlirashing out 100 bushels.
l Alfalfa is a new crop here with
which the people are delighted. All
kinds of live stock eat it with relish ,
and it is proving to be fattening fodder.
The first year it yields one ton to the
acre , but after the third year it yields
t
1 three crops a year , which foot up seven
and one-half tons to the acre. It is
i
worth in the market $5 per ton , but to
J feed cattle the results have shown it to
be worth $70 per acre. It is the coming
l crop all along the the fiats of the Republican -
publican valley.

n
RAVELING across
a western prairie ,
wild flowers up to
the hub of the carriage -
riage wheel , and
1 while a long dis-
i tance from any
shelter , there name
a sodden shower ,
and while the' rain
/ was falling in torrents -
rents , the sun was
shlhfng as brightly as I ever saw it
shine ; and I thought , What a beautiful
spectacle this is ! Sri the tears of the
'Bible are not midnight storm , but rain
on pansled prairies in God's sweet and
golden sunlight. You remember that
bottle which David labeled as containing -
ing tears , and Mary's tears , and Paul's
tears , and Christ's tears , and the harvest -
vest of joy that is to spring from the
sowing of tears. God mixes them. God
rounds them. God shows them where
to fall , God exhales them. A census
is taken of them , and there is a record
as to the moment when they are born ,
and as to the place of their grave.
Tears of bad men are not kept. Alexander -
ander , in his sorrow , had the hair
clipped from his horses and mules , and
made a great ado about his grief ; but
in all the vases of heaven there is not
one of Alexander's tears. I speak of
the tears of God's children , Alas ! me'
they are falling all the time. In summer -
mer , you sometimes hear the growling
thunder , and you see there is a storm
miles away ; but you know from the
drift of the clouds that it will not come
anywhere near you. So , though it may
be all bright around you , there is a
shower of trouble somewhere all the
time. Tears ! Tears !
What is the use of them , anyhow ?
Why not substitute laughter ? Why
not make this a world where all the
people are well , and eternal strangers
to pain and aches ? What is the use of
an eastern storm when we might have
a perpetual nor'wester ? Why , when
a family is put together , not have them
all stay , or if they must be transplanted
to make other homes , then have them
all live-the family record telling a
story of marriages and births , but of
no deaths. Why not have the harvests
chase each other without fatiguing toil ?
Why the hard pillow , the hard crust ,
the hard struggle ? It is easy enough
to explain a smile , or a success , or a
congratulation ; but , come now , and
bring all your dictionaries and all your
philosophies and all your religions , and
help meexplain a tear. A chemist will
tell you that it is made up of salt and
lime and other component parts ; but he
misses the chief ingredients-the acid
of a soured life , the viperine sting of a
bitter . memory , the fragments of a
broken heart. I will tell you what a
tear is ; it is agony in solution. Hear
then , while I discourse of the uses of
trouble.
First. It is the design of trouble to
keep this world from being too attrac-
tive. Something must be done to make
us willing to quit this existence. If it
were not for trouble this world would
be a good enough heaven for me. You
and I would be willing to take a lease
of this life for a hundred million years
if there ware no trouble. The earth
cushioned and upholstered and pillared
and chandeliered with such expense ,
no story of other worlds could enchant
us.
us.We would say : "Let well enough
alone. If you want to die and have
your body disintegrated in the dust ,
and your soul go out on a celestial adventure -
venture , then you can go , but this
world is good enough for me ! " You
might as well go to a man who has
just entered the Louvre at Paris , and
tell him to hasten off to the picture-
galleries of Venice or Florence. "Why , "
ho would say , "What is the use of my
going there ? There are Rembrandts
and Rubens and Raphaels here that I
haven't looked at yet. " No man wants
to go out of this world , or out of any
house , until he has a better house. To
cure this wish to stay here , God must
somehow create a disgust for our sur-
roundings. How shall he do it ? He
cannot afford to deface his horizon , or
to tear off a fiery panel from the sunset -
set , or to subtract an anther from the
water-lily , or to banish the pungent
aroma from the mignonette , or to drag
the robes of the morning in mire. You
cannot expect a Christopher Wren to
mar his own St. Paul's cathedral , or a
Michael Angelo to dash out his own
"Last Judgment , " or a Handel to discord -
cord his "Israel in Egypt ; ' and you
cannot expect God to spoil the architecture -
ture and music of his own world. How ,
then , are we to be made willing to
leave ? Here is where the trouble comes
in.
After a man has had a good deal of
trouble , he says : "Well , I am ready to
go. If there is a house somewhere
whose roof doesn't leak , I would like to
live there. If there is an atmosphere
somewhere that does not distress the
lungs , I would like to breathe it.
If there is a society somewhere where
there is no tittle-tattle , I would like to
live there. If there is a home circle
somewhere where I can find my lost
friends , I would like to go there. " He
used to read the first part of the Bible
chiefly ; now he reads the last
part of the Bible chiefly. Why
has he changed Genesis for
Revelation ? Ah ! he used to be
anxious chiefly to know how this world
was made , and all about its geological
construction. Now he is chiefly anxious -
ious to know how the next world was
made , and haw It lna1t ; and w.c' live
r
1
there , and how they dress. He reads
Revelation ten times now where he
reads Genesis once. The old story , "In
the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth ; does not thrill him
half as much as the other story , "I
saw a new heaven and a new earth. "
The old man's hand trembies as he
turns over this apocaly ptic leaf , and he
has to take out his handkerchief to
wipe his spectacles. That book of
Revelation is a prospectus now of the
country into which he is soon to immigrate -
grate ; the country In which he has lots
already laid out , and , avenues opened ,
and mansions built.
Yet there are people here to whom
this world is brighter than heaven.
Well , dear souls , I do not blame you.
It Is natural. But after awhile you will
be ready to go. It was not until Job
had been worn out with bereavements
that he wanted to see God. It was not
until the prodigal son got tired living -
ing among the hogs that he wanted
to go to his father's house. It is the
ministry of trouble to make this world
worth less and heaven worth more.
Again , it is the use of trouble to make
us feel our dependence upon God. Men
think they can do anything until God
shows them they can do nothing at all.
We lay out great plans , and we like to
execute them. It looks big. God comes
and takes us down. As Prometheus
was assaulted by his enemy , when the
lance struck him it opened a great
swelling that had threatened his death ,
and he got well. So it is the arrow of ,
trouble , that lets out great swelling of
pride. We never feel our dependence
upon God until'we get trouble. I was
riding with my little child along the
road , and she asked me if she might
drive. I said , "Certainly. " I handed
ovcrr the reins to lien , and I had to
admire the glee with which she drove.
But after awhile we met a team and
we had to turn out. The road was
narrow , and it was sheer down on
both sides. She handed the reins over
to me , and said , "I think you had better
take charge of the horse. " So we are
all children ; and on this road of life
we like to drive. It gives one the appearance -
pearance of superiority and power. It
looks big. But after awhile we meet
some obstacle and we have to turn out ,
and the road is narrow , and it is sheer
down on botlltsides ; and then we are
willing that God should take the reins
and drive. Ah ! my friends , we get
upset so often because we do not hand
over the reins soon enough.
It is trouble , my friends , that makes
us feel our dependence upon God. We
do not know our own weakness or
God's strength until the last plank
breaks. It is contemptible in us when
there is nothing else to catch hold of ,
that we catch hold of God only. Why ,
you do not know who the Lord is ! He
is not an autocrat seated far up in a
palace , from which he emerges once
a year , preceded by heralds swinging
swords to clear the way. No. But a
Father willing , at our call , to stand
by us in every crisis and predicament
in life. I tell you what some of you
business men make me 'think of. A
young man goes off from home to earn
his fortune. He goes with his mother's
consent and benediction. ' She has large
wealth , but he wants to make his own
fortune. He goes far away , falls sick ,
gets out of money. He sends for the
hotelkeeper where he is staying , asking -
ing for lenience , and the answer he
gets is , "If you don't pay up Saturday
night you'll be removed to the hospi-
tal. "
The young man sends to a comrade
in the same building. No help. He
writes to a banker who was a friend
of his deceased father. No relief. He
writes to an old schoolmate , but gets
no help. Saturday night comes , and he
is moved to the hospital.
Getting there , he is frenzied with
grief ; and he borrows a sheet of paper
and a postage-stamp and he sits down ,
and he writes home , saying : "Dear
mother , I am sick unto death. Come. "
It is ten minutes of 10 o'clock when
she gets the letter. At 10 o'clock the
train starts. She is five minutes from
the depot. She gets there in time to
have five minutes to spare. She wonders -
ders why a train that can go thirty
miles an hour cannot go sixty miles
an hour. She rushes into the hospital.
She says : "My son , what does all this
mean ? Why didn't you send for me ?
You sent to everybody but me. You
knew I could and would help you. Is
this the reward I get for my kindness
to you always ? " She bundles him up ,
takes him home , and gets him well very
soon. Now , some of you treat God just
as that young man heated his mother.
When you get into a financial perplexity -
ity , you call on the banker , you tali
on the broker , you call on your creditors -
tors , you call on your lawyers for legal
counsel ; you call upon everybody , and
when you cannot get any help , then
you go to God. You say : " 0 Lord , I
come 'to thee. Help me now out of my
perplexity. " And the Lord comes ,
though it is in the eleventh hour. He
says : "Why did - ou not send for me
before ? As cne t. tom his mother corn-
for tech , so will I comfort you. " It is
to throw us back upon God that we have
this ministry of tears.
Again , it is the use of trouble to
capacitate us for the office of sympathy.
The priests , under the old dispensation -
tion , were set apart by having water i
sprinkled upon their hands , feet , and
head ; and by the sprinkling of tears
people are now set apart to the office
of sympathy. When we are in prosperity -
ity we like to have a great many young ,
people around us , and we laugh when
they laugh , and we romp when they
romp , and we sing when they sing ; but
i
when we have trouble we like plenty
of old folks around. Why ? They
know how to talk. Take an aged mother -
er , seventy years of age , and she is
almost omnipotent in comfort. Why ?
She has been through it all. At i
o'clock in the morning she goes over
to comfort a young mother who has
, ' ' 'st .
. t
Just lost her babe. Grandmother
knows all about that trouble. Fifty
years ago she felt it. At twelve o'clock
of that day she goes over. to comfort
a. widowed soul. She knows all about
that. Sht has been walking in that
dark valley twenty years. At 4 o'clock
in the afternoon some one knocks at
the door , wanting bread. She knows
all about that. Two or three times in
her life she came to her last loaf.
At 10 o'clock that night she goes over
to sit up with some one severely sick.
She knows all about it. She knows all
about fevers and pleurisies and
broken bones. She has _ been
doctoring all her life , spreading -
ing plasters and pouring out bitter
drops and shaking up hot pillows and
contriving things to tempt a poor ap-
petite. Doctors Abernethy and Rush
and Hosack and Harvey were great
doctors , but the greatest doctor the
world ever saw is an old Christian
woman ! Dear me ! Do we not remember -
ber her about the room when we were
sick in our boyhood ? Was there any
one who could ever so touch a sore without -
out hurting it ?
Have you any appreciation of the
good and glorious times your friends
are having in heaven ? How different
it is when they get news there of a
Christian's death-from what it is here !
It is the difference between embarkation -
tion and coming into port. Everything
depends upon which side of the river
you stand when you hear of a Chris-
tian's death. If you stand on this side
of the river , you mourn that they go.
If you stand. on the other side of the
river , you rejoice that they come. Oh ,
the difference between a funeral on
earth and a jubilee in heaven-between
reiuiem here and triumph there-part-
ing here and reunion there ! Together !
have you thought of it ? They are to-
gether. Not.one of your departed
friends in one land and another in
another land ; but together , in different
rooms of the same house-the house of
many mansions. Together !
I never more appreciated that
thought than when we laid away in her
last slumber my sister Sarah. Standing -
ing there in the village cemetery , I
looked around and said : "There is
father , there is mother , there is grandfather -
father , there is grandmother , there are
whole circles of kindred ; " and I
thought to myself , "Together in the
grave-together in glory. " I am so impressed -
pressed with the thought that I do
not think it is any fanaticism when
some one is going from this world to
the next if you make them the bearer
of dispatches to your friends who are
gone , saying : "Give my love to my
parents , give my love to my children ,
give my love to my old comrades who
are in glory , and tell them I am trying
to fight the good fight of faith , and I
will join them after awhile. " I believe
the message will be delivered ; and I
believe it will increase the gladness
of those who are before the throne.
Together are they , all their tears gone.
My friends take this good cheer home
with you. These tears of bereavement
that course your cheek , and of persecution -
cution , and of trial , are not always to
lie there. The motherly hand of God
will wipe them all away' . What is the
use , on the way to such a cons.tmma-
tion-what is the use of fretting about
anything ? Oh , what an exhilaration it
ought to be in Christian work ! See you
the pinnacles against the sky ? It is
the city of our God , and we are approaching -
preaching it. Oh , let us be busy in j
the days that remain for us ! ' i
I put this balsam on the wounds of
your heart. Rejoice at the thought
of what your departed friends have got
rid of , and that you have a prospect
of so soon making your own escape.
Bear cheerfully the ministry of tears ,
and exult at the thought that soon it is i
to be ended. 1

"It is impossible to overestimate
the influence of the press in shaping
the politics of a free government like
ours. It is indeed the prominent , the
conspicuous , the controlling feature
in American politics today , largely
overshadowing all other instruhnen-
talities. It has to some extent superseded -
seded the political orator , because it
speaks constantly while he talks only
occasionally.
"It overmatches our public schools
because they take long vacations. It
ontrivals the pulpit because it preaches -
es week-clays as well as Sundays , observing -
serving no holidays and taking no
European trips. It diminishes the
influence of our courts because it anticipates -
ticipates their decisions-usually ac-
curately.
"It towers abovecongresses and legislatures -
islatures because it is not hampered
by official responsibility , and with its
freedom. guaranteed under our constitution -
tution it can freely recommend , criti-
cise and condemn with absolute fearlessness -
lessness and independence- , with no
veto power to intimidate or revise its
actions except thr force of an euliht- i '

press in any struggle which may come
with foreign foes or for the preservation -
tion of our free institutions.

Irrigation in Toxas.
Jn Texas the irrigation lever is at
full height. The favorite plan in that
state seems to be to build a pond or
dam on some high point on the farm
and pump the water into it-to be distributed -
tributed later by means of ditches.
Most of times reservoirs are filled from
streams or low lakes. With asteain or
gas engine thiswaterisreadily pumped
to a point that gives the necessary fall
over the level land of the farm , This
seems to work better than the scheme
of pumping through a hose directly
upon the land. Itural New Yorker ,
commenting on the foregoing , saws ,
"This plan of thoroughly watering a
few level acres of the farm is one thing
you must look forward to if you expect
to keep up with the procession. "

The coloring is exquisite grass green ,

Little Tlringa of life.
Why is it that. we so easily forget
that time little things in life arc what
make it easy or hard ? A few pleasant
words , a warm hand-clasp , a cordial
letter are simple thine , but they are
mighty in their influence on the lives i
of those about us , adding a ray of hope
to many disconsolate hearts , giving
courage to disappointed , weary ones ,
and helping at the same time to make
our own lives sweeter. Few people
realize how much the little attentions
of every-day lifo.nielm to their associates -
ates in the home , society mind the place
of business. It is generally a macsc of
consideration that makes one forgot
the tiny pleasantries ; bltt lack of consideration -
sideration is really one form of selfishness -
ness , and selfishness is not a desirable , l
quality. ltementber that the little
things in life , either good or bad , count
for more with those we love thttu we
ever know , and we should be watchful
of our actions and of our words.
