TWENTIETH YEAR
Leans Take Revenge
Tuesday afternoon of this week the
Leans took a fall out of the Fats on the
Athletic park grounds to the tune of 15
to 11 in a seven inning game of base
ball and the smart of last weeks defeat
was alleviated The attendance was
rather small but the enthusiasm was of
the bubbling over exuberant sort that
found exercise in the most vigorous
vocalization
The line up was slightly different from
the last encounter

Nebraska State Fair
For thirty two years past good crops
or poor crops the Nebraska State Board
of Agriculture true to its duty has an
nually presented to the public at its
fairs the products resources and possi
bilities of this wonderful young state
the flower of the New West a region of
country known until a few years ago
comparatively as a barren waste These
products have been found on actual ex
amination without superiors anywhere
both as to quality and yields This year
corn and vegetables have been
bartly scorched in some parts of the
state it is true And yet in many other
parts they are good Small grain never
was better
The Fair management- is going right
along with the fair as usual this year
Sept 2 to 6 Have greatly improved the
old fair grounds adjoining Lincoln
lately purchased by the state A new
woven wire fence has been placed around
the whole grounds all the old buildings
have been repaired painted and put in
the best condition Nineteen new large
and commodious barns for live stock
have been constructed Water from city
water works in all parts of the grounds
Railroads both passenger and freight
run into the grounds Reduced railroad
passenger rates from all stations in the
state The secretary announces that the
outlook for exhibits was never better
Let the people all attend this great fair
and with their families spend a few days
of recreation profitably and pleasantly
Will Have Some Corn
The Tribune has growing evidence
by word of mouth and by sample of
product that considerable corn will yet
be harvested in Red Willow county
Since the late splendid showers it has
not been uncommon to hear farmers
express the belief that they would have
some corn
One of the samples recently left at this
office is from the C H Meeker farm at
Driftwood bridge This farm is being
worked by C F Woker He planted
but three or four acres of Squaw corn
and believes he will gather between 50
and 60 bushels per acre therefrom The
samples left at this office are very long
and when the kernels become plump
and the ears are well filled out the
probabilities are that Mr Wokers ex
pectations will be realized
T A Endsley of Red Willow precinct
says he would not take a thousand bush
els for his corn prospects at this time
Snow and Rainfall
The records at Burlington headquar
ters here show the following snow and
rainfall from January 1 to August 1 1901
January 2 inches and a trace of snow
February 4 inches and a trace of snow
March 16 inches and a trace of snow
April 260 inches of rain
May 13 of an inch and two traces of
rain
June 427 inches of rain
July 42 of an inch of rain
In totals there have been 22 inches of
snowfall and 742 inches of rainfall in
the seven months of this year It will
be observed that almost all of the snow
fell in March and that more than half of
the rainfall fell in three days in June
and was accompanied by destructive
hail It is a marvel that anything has
been produced under such unfavorable
circumstances slight precipitation and
poor distribution combined
