During Friday night two Inches of rain fell
here , nnd yonlerday It rallied hard at In-
terrain throughout the day. No damage Is
reported from the country , but the soil Is
wturated eo that work In the fleldo Is 1m-
pomlble. Harvesting of winter wheat will
commence this week , and the yelld will bo
large , except In a few localities , where It is
damaged by the hall ,
SC1IUYLER , Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. )
The long dry spell here wts at last broken
by a long-continued and heavy downpour of
rain , which Itfgan soon after midnight Fri
day and continued until 7:30 : a. in. , the ag
gregate fall being about one and one-half
Inches. Corn had not been suffering and
the drouth made It a cplendld time to eradi

fields of Inte planting were nearly ruined ,
nonio of them entirely so , and have been
plowed for other crops. The difference In

WILCOX , Nrb. , Juno 27. ( Special. ) This
locality was vk'ltcd by an Inch nnd a quarter
of rainfall Friday night , which was quite
badly needed to complete the spring grain.
Kail wheat and rye nro already made nnd are
being harviHtcd. Rye is nn excellent crop ,
nnd will yield from thirty to forty bushels
per acre. The full wheat , while not a large
growth of nlraw , Is well filled and thick on
the ground. Good Judges are estimating the
yield nt eighteen to twenty bushels per acre.
Thp fprlng wheat and oats have made a
splendid growth nnd are heading well. At
present prospects the yield will be large.
Corn was planted late and some had to be
replanted , but It Is making a very rapid
growth , the stand being generally good.
STOCICV1LLE , Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. )
There was n heavy rainfall hero last night ,
amounting to about two Inches , whllo ten
miles southwest It was much heavier , some
farmers reporting over three inches. The
storm appears to have been general In this
county at least. A good crop of small grain
Is now assured. Ot tins there Is a larger
acreage In Frontier county than usual. Rye
1 being cut and promises to be n good crop.
Stockvlllo will celebrate the glorious Fourth
nt-xt Satuulay. Committees have been at
work for some. time.
MALMO , Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. ) A
heavy rnln visited this section of country ,
lasting during Friday night and up to 10
o'clock yesterday. We have been visited
occasionally by showers , but this rain has
about secured our crops. The oats especially
was in much need of rain. Corn was doing
well. This rain will aid It. The hay stood
In need of rain. The crop In this section
Is not heavy , nor will the hay crop for Iltty
milco around hero bo nearly as heavy ns last
year. The country being heavily stocked ,
these farmers who have hay are In hopes
of paying prices for It this year.
ELWOOI ) . Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. ) Two
and thirty-ono hundredths inches of rain
fell at this point Friday night. This Is
the biggest rain of the year. This Insures
the largest small grain crop ever raised In
Gosper county. A low estimate places rye
at thirty butdiels and wheat at from twenty
to twenty-five bushels per acre.
GREELUY , Neb. , June 27. ( Special. ) One
of the finest rains ot the season visited Gree-
loy county yesterday. The small grain crop
Is now practically assured and promised well
to be one of the largest ever raised In this
county. Corn Is nlso doing well , and the
farmers are happy. The ehcirry crop does
not promise well , but the apple crop will be
immense If It gets no backset.
HLOOMINGTON , Neb. . June 2J. ( Special. )
An inch of rain fell last night. This In
sures ono of the heaviest crops of small grain
that has been raised in this county for years.
Winter wheat Is now being harvested.
HXETER , Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. ) After
ten days of excessive heat and several severe
electric storms , and heavy winds , we received
two very nice rains. Thursday afternoon about
a fourth of an Inch , with considerable fine
hail and some severe lightning , which struck
In several placcu. The only bad results , however -
over , so far as learned , was the killing of a
team for W. N. Shofft , one milo cast of town.
Ho and his hired man were ploughing corn ,
and remained In the field until the "eleventh
hour. " They wore just pulling out when a
boll fell , apparently straight down , Instantly
killing Mr. Shofft's team. Ho received quite
n severe shock , but recovered In a few mo
menta. Saturday morning a steady. Hue rain
t the amount of a half Inch foil , which Is
of Inestimable value to wheat , oats and po
tatoes. Corn was not fluttering but will also
bo greatly benefited. The very early planted
potatoes are past recovery , but fortunately
the greater portion Were not planted BO very
early and will no doubt now make n splendid
crop. The Indications are that wo will get
another soaker tonight. All crops are lookIng -
Ing remarkably line , and although the rtand
of corn Is fully a third less than last year ,
what there Is , Is booming right along and
with favorable weather will make a good ,
fnlr crop.
'HARTLEY. ' Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special. )
Crops In this section were generally doing
well , hut a generous rain Friday night has
placed the small groin out of danger. Wheat
never looked so promising , and the farmers
never felt better.

HURON , S. I ) . , Juno 27. ( Special. ) Hon.
C. F. Sayler , of Den Molnes , In. , representing
the Depaitment of Agriculture , Wafllrlngton ,
In company with Prof. J. II. Shepard , direc
tor of the experiment station at the State
Agricultural college , were here a day or two
since. They are Investigating the beet sugar
Industry and the cultivation of sugar beets
In this state. Mr. Sayler Is nn old resident
of the northwest , and from the Inc.lpleney of
the sugar beet agitation In Nebraska to Us
development and notable success In tint
etate , has given the whole question the clos
est personal attention until he Is more thor
oughly familiar perhaps than any other man
with the conditions of climate and soil re-
tjulred for the perfect growth of this sugar
yielding root. After examining specimens
of the beet now being cultivated and Investi
gating the successful tests made here In
former seasons ono of which yielded 21.52
per cent sugar , the highest ever recorded in
the northwest he expressed himself as thor
oughly satisfied that our soil and cllmato are
specially adapted to this Industry. He sayu
ho Mnda the conditions In South Dakota far
superior to these of Nebraska where farm
lands are now renting at $ C per acre. Mr.
Sayler'a Investigations at this tlmo are for
the purpose of preparing the way for thor
ough and systematized experiments In this
state next year. The proposition Is to estab
lish ton stations In the James river valley be
tween Yankton and Aberdeen , at each of
which stations one acre of ground will bo se
cured and planted nnd cultivated under the
direction of the Department of agriculture.
Ono of these stations will bo located at Hu
ron , where the conditions nro considered the
most favorable of any point yet visited for a
strictly scientific , up to date test. Mr. Say
ler , In his investigations through Nebraska ,
asked many of the farmers what per centage
sugar beets paid them In comparison with
other crops , stock growing , etc. , and the re
ply almost invariably was that profits from
beets were from CO to 70 per cent greater than
anything else.

compare favorably 'with that of the oilier
western sections. '
Southern California Is making extensive
preparations to Install a live fruit exhibit
which will surpass the exhibit made at the
World's fair. The mining and other resources
of the state- will nlso be represented In a
creditable manner.
Oregon and Washington have been aroused
and both will bo in 'line ' when the gates are
opened. , '
In the BOtith the Interest In the Transmh-
slsslppl Exposition seems to bo Intense. Ar
kansas , Texas , Louisiana , Alabama nnd Mis
sissippi are making preparations to show to
the world , through"-the medium of this ex
position , the wonderful progress which IICH
been made by this section of the union dur
ing the past thirty years.
All of the foregoing Involves the question
of apace in the buildings of the exposition
and the numerous applications for.space
Which have boon received by the Depart
ment of Exhibits Indicates that the main
buildings will have to be enlarged before the
work of construction is commenced. Superin
tendent Hardt has had-wide experience in ex
position matters , having been directly con
nected with every exposition of note held In
the world during tha past twenty-five years ,
and ho states most emphatically that the
amount of space already taken , considering
the price charged by thla exposition and the
length of time before the gates are to open ,
Is larger than at any exposition within Ills
experience.
Space within the buildings is charged for
7t the rate of $1 per square foot , the amount
of space taken by each exhibitor up to this
tlmo running from fifty stpuare feet up to
5,000 feet. The number of applications for
space is increasing rapidly. Not a day passes
without five or ten applications being re
ceived by the department.
Tha plans for the buildings are so arranged
th\t : the buildings may be enlarged at the
wings without destroying the symmetry of
the design.
ASK FOR MANY CONCESSIONS.
The Department of Concessions and Privi
leges is not behind In the number of appli
cations for space and the privilege of con
ducting some of the numerous sources of
amusements which are regarded ns Indlapei-
siblo to the proper conduct of a great exposi
tion. Applications have been received for
all of the different kinds of concessions which
have formed a part of other expositions , nnd
at leust 0110 application has been received for
a concession which no former exposition In
this country has ever Bhown. The latter is
a Riih.si.in village. The applicant for thin
concession is a native of the land of thn
czar and he promises to produce a show which
will bo an education In Itself , showing the
manner of living of the people in the villages
of llussla , while the trades practiced by them
will be shown by skilled artisans brought
over for that purpose. This village Is re
garded witll ecpecial favor by the exposition
management on account of Its novelty neil
great practical value.
Thcro will be no lack of other exhibits of
an educational character along the linn of
the It ties Ian village. A concession baa al
ready been let for a Chlnctio village and one
for a Moorish palace. A New Zealand vil
lage is iissured , and applications are under
conslderaton for other "villages" and exhibits
of a strange nature.
The location of this feature of the exposi
tion Is regarded by oxperlcnced exposition
people OH being the most favorable of that
selected for any former exposition. It will
cover the north end of the "bluff tract" and
also the southern portion of the old fair
grounds extending from Sixteenth street to
Twentieth street. This location will enable
people to ri'asli.if'i' "plalsanco" from any
portion of tha ftrpu\ds \ without walking an
Interminable dlsi nqi , ' , and will also allow of
all concessions Ipjflni ; given a favorable lo
cation. The greatest difficulty experienced
at the World'sJalrwas | [ , that of getting
people to visitHi : 0,1 extreme end of the
Midway. Hlllipnthclnmoney was gone before
they had gone lim'fj' tlian half way down the
plalsance or thjy"Wej-e tired out and turned
hack. In the TWnainlsBlsslppI Exposition ,
visitors may reach thu "plalsance" from any
portion of the gf-pund with the greatest ease ,
and this fact Is.'JinvlnE a very apparent ef
fect upon the prjpcs/ which concessions arc
commanding. The concessions already sold
have brought BWl&r'prices than has been
realized from any exposition hold In this
country with-tB JsBiblo | exception of the
World's fair , nmrTbd Offers made for the con
cessions still remaining are regarded as sat

Every compositor who ever put In type nny
of Horace Greeley'a copy will certify to the
fact that his" handwriting was almost Illegi
ble. It WRB the despair of the composing
room , and even Grceley himself couldn't al
ways decipher It. A mnn who wao many
years ago president of the Oswego Count )
Agricultural association , relates the Now
York Sun , had good reason on one o carUm
to be thankful that Jlr. Oreelcy's writing
wnn hard to decipher. This fact secured for
him a star attraction at the fnlr which ho
coull not have obtained otherwise. The asso
ciation of which he was the picsldrnt made
a great effort each year to outdo rlvnl asso
ciations In Its ( air , and one of. Its regular
attractions was a distinguished speaker who
delivered an address to the crowd on nny
subject that ho might select.
"When I wna made president. " tald the
ex-otnccr of the association , "I wna young
and ambitious. I wanted to give the best
fair that ever had been held at Oiwrgo Fall" ,
and I was willing to work hard to nceoiupl'nh
such a rtsult. LOUR beforehand I stirred up
the farmers to raise big Piiuashen nnd pump
kins nnd I prepared a good schedule of homo
races. 1 secured a man to make n balloon
at-censlon , and all that was lacking In my
program was the ( speaker. At that time Mr.
Oreeley was the must conspicuous man In
the United States' . Wo nil wanted to nee
him and hear him speak. He was a very
busy man , however , nnd I knew that we
had about one chance In ten of securing him.
I determined to dike that chance. After
tmiph. preliminary thought and many consul
tations with others I prepared and sent tt
him a very creditable invitation to attend
our fair and deliver nn address on any subJect -
Je-ct that he chrae. I assured him that he
would find only friends In his audience , nm
I said that we had long looked for such nn
opportunity to hear him. Two days later the
village postmaster told me that he had a
letter that ho thought was addressed to me.
1 had hoard a good deal about Grecley'fl
handwriting , and I knew at once that thl
was my reply from Mr. Oreeley. When 1
opened the envelope I found n sheet of paper
on which were Irregular scrawls that 1
couldn't decipher. With several of my
friends 1 puzzled over It n long time , but 1
couldn't read It , I remembered that the
editor of our paper had at ono tlmo been
familiar with ilr. Oreeley's handwriting , and
I took thu loiter to him. Ho was a little- out
of practice , but ho deciphered It after half an
hour's examination. Mr. Oreeley regretted
that hu wow unable to accept our
Invitation. That wan a great
disappointment to me. I' ' thought It
over , and suddenly It dawned on me that
there wes just a chance that I might by
strategy get Mr. Orecloy to Oswego Falls
after all. I sent him another letter that
muzt huvo fitaggureci him. Mr. Oreeley was
well aware of the fact that his writing was
almost Illegible , and ho was never much
surprised when his letters were miscon
strued. I simply took advantage ot that ,
and In my second letter I thanked him for
accepting our invitation. To leave him no
loophole for escape , I told him that wo had
bfgun to distribute handbills announcing the
fact thrU ho was going to deliver the ad
dress at the fair , and I anded that I had
ordered the printers to place his name In
big letters on our three-sheet posters. 1
knew that when he got my letter ho would
conclude that wo had read his letter de
clining the Invitation as a loiter of accept
ance , and I hoped when ho learned how far
wo had gene with our printing that he would
conclude to come. We received no reply
from Mr. Greeley , but from time to time
wo sent him our posters and Information
about the fair and the town. A week be
fore the day set for the address wo sent
him a time table and told him on what train
wo should look for him. I was uneasy all
this tlmo , because I knew that If Mr. Greeley
didn't turn up I should be blamed. When
the day for the great event arrived I went
to the station to await the train. Sure
enough , Mr. Greeley was on board. I Intro
duced myself to him as the man who had
sent him Ihe Invitation and who had re
ceived his very kind acceptance. Mr. Greoley
looked at mo closely and there was a sus
picion of a smile on his face.
" 'You had no difficulty in reading my let
ter ? ' he said.
" 'Well , 'it was a little hard to decipher
It at first , . ' I replied , 'and we were In doubt
for a few minutes whether you had said
"Yes" or "No" to our Invitation. When we
did decipher the letter we were very much
pleased to find that you had agreed to come. '
" 'Humph ! ' Kiild Mr. Greelcy , expressively.
'You ordered your posters at once , didn't

the address , and the largest crowd In the
history of the association heard him.
Whether or not ho suspected the trick I had
played on him I never discovered. He In
timated to one of my friends that ho had
hU } suspicions , and he made the remark that
I would make an excellent politician. That
was his only comment. I still have Mr.
Greeley's letter , and any one who will ex
amine It will BCD how easily It might have

Lieutenant Con Marrast Perkins of the
United Statc Marino corps contributes an
artlclo on "Tho Last ot the Drums" to the
July St. Nicholas. The author laments the
gradual passing ot the drum from use In
the army and navy. He gives the following
account of a frequent Incident on a man-of-
war , showing the use that Is made of the
drum :
The ship Is lying nt anchor In a distant
port ; it is night , and nothing Is hoard but
the tramp of the sentry on the forecastle
and the ripple of water at the gangway.
Only the officer of the dock , the quarter
master and the guard are awake. The entire -
tire crew are below docks and dreaming In
their hammocks.
The cabin door opens and the captain
steps forth softly , fully dressed , and wearing
his sword and revolver. Ho speaks In a low
tone to the olllccr of the deck , who sends an
orderly forward with a message. In a
moment the orderly returns , bringing with
him the drummer , who stands silently at the
mast , drumsticks In hand , watching the com
mando , * .
"Eight bells" midnight Is struck. At a
silent signal from the commanding officer ,
the drummer poises his bilcus an Instant ,
then sounds the long roll or "alarm. "
which U at once followed by the quick beat
to "general quarters. "
Instantly the scene changes to ono of , ap
parently , the utmost confusion. Four liun-
Ircd meh leap from their hammocks ; passIng -
Ing a few turns of the lashings around them
they throw them Into their "uettlngu. " ( hen
gpilng to their stations at the batterlrti and
cast laoso the guiu.
A moment more and a bright flash and roar
from the forecastle pivot gun bursts upon
Iho fitillne.'s and gloom of the night , followed
quickly by the broadside battery.
Each gun Is fired once , a blank charge , but
enough ti > show that the gun is In good order
and ready for eervlco.
AB middenly the pandemonium auhsldcg ;
confusion gives place to silence and order ,
and not a sound li liturd ; but the battle
lanterns flashing along the crowded deck re
veal the well-disciplined crew standing at
their quarters , every man equipped with cut-
latH and pistol , silent and alert. Spungcs ,
rammers , supply boxen and battle axes Utter
the deck ; everything Is provided and ready
as for action ; while the captain , accompanied
by thu executive officer ( the first lieutenant ) ,
with an orderly bearing a lantern , makes a
thoiough Inspection fore and aft and below ,
Including tliu powder dlvliion. magazines anil
shell rooms , to see that nothing is lacking
which would bo required in real action.
At tint touch ol the drum the ship has
been changed from deathlike atlllnen ; to
reartlimvj for battle , every olllccr and man
at his station , aimed , silent , expectant and
all In lets than three minutes !
Mt-ii of Stunilliur.
"Who are your leaJIng cltlzen'i here ? "
