When asked If the three parties would
unite for action dut ; the forthcoming

think so," but he refrained from making
ftny further comment regarding the outlook.
It Is generally believed here that tho
chairman and secretary of tho democratic
committee will bo empowered to select
a location for the democratic headquarters.

two-year term, henco there Is not likely to
ho any change In tho offlco he now holds.

moving the headquarters from Omaha to
Lincoln, but he refuses to substantiate tho

Dairy Trmlr.
"The unprecedented hot weather of tho
past thrco weeks has had a disastrous
effect on tho butter and egg business In
Nebraska," said Morris Krlcnd of the
Ilcatrlce Creamery company today, ' 'Tho
supply of butter cream has greatly de
creased, hut the effect of thu heat Is moro
noticeable In tha egg trade. I'rlccs so far
have not changed materially, hut it Is
reasonable to expect them to bo high dur
ing tho winter.
"Never In tho last fifteen years has It
been so difficult to get good eggs as at
tho present time. We get plenty of eegs,
hut can uso not over 10 per cent of them.
Accordingly there Is a loss of about 90
per cent on all eggs sent to us from over
tho state. As a result of this condition
there are great many storago eggs on
the market. This is going to rcduco tho
supply that otherwise would havo remained
untouched for tho winter trade.
"Our butter output Is smaller than usual,
because wo cannot get butter cream of the
quality demanded, the supply of cream be
ing about 25 per cent below normal. The
reduction Is caused by tho destruction of
grass on tho western ranges. The tamo
graNscs huvo suffered most; In fact, the
vtlld grasses do not seem to bo Injured by
tho drouth."
Approve llnnk Compromise.
In district court today Judges Frost and
Cornish approved tho compromise offer re
cently made by stockholders of the de
funct Lincoln Savings bank to pay tho
receive an aggregato amount of $30,000
In futl settlement of their liability, which
amounts to slightly over J 100,000. Tho
total stock of tho bank was 1230,000, but
over halt of It Is held by persons who are
Insolvent. Tho litigation has been drag
ging along In tho courts for several years,
but it is believed that tho act of the court
today will speedily wind up the affairs of
tho receivership and result In another
dividend of good proportions for the de
positors. Under tho provisions of the settlement
mado tho following stockholders will be
released from further liability If they
contribute ns they have agreed:

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 20. (Special Telegram.)
A coroner's Jury tonight held an Inqutet
over the body of Vcrna Loc, who was killed
last night and, after llrtcnlng to the testi
mony of a dozen witnesses, returned a ver
dict finding that the woman came to her
death from a gunshot wound Inflicted by
Frank Marshall. To the Jurymen the evl
dence seemed conclusive and not one of
them objected to placing the responsibility
upon Marshall.
A complaint has been sworn out by Chief
of Police Hoagland charging Marshall with
murder In terms calculated to sustain con
vlctlon In the first degree and the man will
be arraigned Monday morning.
In the meantime the man Is confined be
hind tho strong walls of tho penitentiary.
Last night some signs of mob violence were
shown by the crowd that gathered In front
of the Marshall house and It was because
the authorities feared a fresh outbreak that
the man was taken to the state prison.
To the police officers Marshall told the
story of his crime nnd he said that while he
was sorry he killed the woman he never
thelcsa thought she was better off dead
than alive. It was brought out In the testi
mony that he objected especially to her as
sociations with Freeman Chiles, a colored
porter employed In the Miller department
store.
After he had killed the woman he told
the crowd that gathered In the house that
he had killed tho father of the woman eigh
teen years ago. He admitted that he at
tempted to kill hist sister, and further said
that If he could take the Uvea of two men
whose names he would not mention he
would be vt tiling to die himself.
The policeman who mado the arrest said
Marshall pointed, his gun at blm and pulled
the trigger, but 'as all loads had been dis
charged his effort brought no result.
According to tbf testimony before the jury
Marshall was enraged to euch an extent
that he wanted to exterminate everybody
who Interfered.
Eliza Marshall, tho wounded woman
shows signs of recovery. The physicians at
tho hospital assert that unless blood poison
Ing ensues her wounds will not result fa
tally.

great alarm tor the safety ot the crop was
felt and some little damage resulted from

grain, whllo late-sown fields that were
In the milk will In many cases show uerl

shrunken. Along the line ot tho North
western railroad from Huron to Oakes nnd
In the district lying cast of this to the
Minnesota state line, the crops are In thu
main excellent. Many fields aro said to
bo good for twenty to twenty-five bushels
per acre. Tho Northwestern road expects
to haul out of this district 100 per cent
more grain than they did last year.
On the west ot this line to the Missouri
river crops have suffered more from lack
of moisture and are -not nearly so good.
Tho seeding was later and more poor grain
will bo the result than In tho eastern dis
trict. Harvest is coming on very rapidly and
will bo In full blast In a few days. Help Is
Bomewhat scarce, but men are coming In
quite freely of late and no fears are yet
anticipated of a shortage of harvest hands.
Corn and potatoes need moisture badly
and will be short crops unless rains fall
soon.

Wool Scnnoii Over.
PIERRE, S. D., July 20. (Special.) The
wool-shipping season is practically over for
this year and the shipments from this sta
tion havo been nearly 100,000 pounds In
excess of any past season. The total ship
ments from here alone were a little short
or S00.000 pounds for last season, and thb
shipments from tho smaller stations east
of here In tho county carried the total up
to nearly 1,000,000 pounds. This year the
total will bo in excess of 1,000,000 pounds,
as the shipments from the other stations
havo been heavier than formerly. Most
of this wool has gone to Chicago, that
place taking two-thirds of It, whllo tho
balance has principally gone to St. Louis.
The Indications now are for heavy ship
ments of sheep fron) this point this fall.
Tho flocks have been Increasing rapidly
with favorablo spring weather and ship
ments for the last two years nave been
light. This season, though, will show a
reduction of herds by placing a large num
ber on tho market.
The sheep-raising Industry, whllo It does
not bring the total cash returns Into this
part of tho state as docs the cattle Indus
try. Is second In what It does for tho range
owners, and has reached proportions where
it brings In a great deal of wealth.
No Fuiida for Printing;.
PIERRE, S. D July 20. (Special,) Tho
probabilities are that the proceedings ot
the Investigating committee which looked
up the various state Institutions last winter
will never bo Issued In printed form. The
only provisions for printing was by a reso
lution passed by each house, each for Itselr,
and no money wns regularly appropriated
for tho purpose. Secretary Berg tool: the
position that he had no authority to con
tract for tho printing of the report on such
action and submitted the matter to Attor
ney General Pyle, who sustains his posi
tion. This leaves the matter In such shape
that there are no available funds for tha
purpose and the chances are against any
further legislation providing for Its being
printed, as each legislature has troubles
of Its own without taking up any left over
by Its predecessor.
Purity Water for KiiKhirn.
