la ting It would be put out of the saloon

Some of the flimsy tents and temporary
buildings at the fair were blown down or
torn by the wind last night, but repairs
were soon made and there was no sub
stantial damage to the fair. None of the
main buildings were Injured In the least
and none of the exhibits harmed In the

Inspects Iowa Cora Crop.
Prof. P. O. Holden of the Iowa State
college and George Forrest, superintendent
of the agricultural exhibit at St. Louis,
have Just made an extensive tour of the
state looking over the crops and especially
the corn crop. Mr. Miles stated today that
In his opinion the corn crop of the state
will not go more than 60 or 66 per cent of
a normal crop. Both men find from per
sonal observation and from frports they
have received that the corn crop has not
developed the past few weeks as It ehould
have done, but that the weather has been
almost continuously unfavorable to the
corn, and there will be a vast amount of
soft corn, while the acreage has beea
greatly diminished by the wet weather.
Mystery of Lost Mooey.
The mystery of a lost package of money
was disclosed in part In a petition filed
In court in which the Des Moines National
bank sues the Fidelity and Guaranty com
pany of Maryland for 85,000 and Interest on
account of the alleged loss of that sum
of money In the custody of Elton C. Kelley,
who was bonded by the company. Kelley
was receiving teller of the bank in Au
gust last and certain money waa turned
over to him when he temporarily took the
position of paying teller. It Is claimed
that 86.000 disappeared. No accusation was
ever made against Kelley, but he left the
bank and Is now filling an equally re
sponsible position with the Iowa National
bank. The company claims that Kelley
was responsible for the loss of the money
and the surety, company must pay. No
trace of the money has ever been found
and It Is expected the suit will develop
all ths facts In the case.

PRELIMINARY STEPS ALREADY TAKEN
Vagrne Reports Sent Ont from Du
buque, bat Authoritative Advice
Is Obtained That Keane aad
Rome Favor It.
A report sent out from Dubuque, Ia., to
the effect that Archbishop Keane, who Is
now on his way back from Europe and Is
expeoted home September 2, bears with
him. a pallium for Bishop Scannell of this
city, is pronounced absurd by local church
authorities. Anyone familiar with the
laws of the Roman Cathollo church, It
Is stated, would at once know that the re
port had no foundation in fact
As published some months ago In The
Bee, the matter of raising Omaha from an
episcopal see city to an archleplscopal see
city was discussed at s. meeting of ths
bishops of this provincj, and Archbishop
Keane was quoted at the time as being
strongly in favor of the change. No offi
cial information has been given out on the
matter, nor will any be from this city,
but The Bee Is In a position to state that
the preliminary steps have been taken In
the matter and that It Is generally be
lieved favorable action will be taken by
Rome.
Discussing the subject, a prominent mem
ber of the Catholic clergy of Omaha says:
"The United States Is classed as a "mis
sionary country," along with Norway and
Sweden, England and the British colonies
and other countries, and the church gov
ernment of It Is therefore different In de
tails from the government, for example,
of the South American countries on this
hemisphere and Spain, Portugal, France
and some other countries. In the latter
the Roman Catholic church, or the Holy
See, has nuncios, who are papal ambassa
dors to the different governments, and
business between them Is conducted
through the papal secretary of state, the
offlce held of late years by Cardinal Ram
polla. But missionary countries are under
the care and charge of the congregation
of the propaganda, the prefect of which,
an office held of late by Cardinal Oottl.
la, to a large extent, the arbiter of matters
in them. '
Coarse la This Country.
, "The course In this country Is for the
bishops of the province in this case the
province of Dubuque, formed of the dio
ceses of Davenport and Sioux City In
Iowa, Omaha and Lincoln In Nebraska
and Cheyenne In Wyoming and the arch
diocese of Dubuque to meet and to rec
ommend to ths prefect of the propaganda
that one of the episcopal see cities be
raUl to an archeplsoopal see city. It
the congregation of the propaganda, after
Investigation, considers the recommenda
tion favorably, it so reports to the pope
and the see Is raised. . In such cases
the bishop becomes an archbishop, another
fact showing the Incorectness of the
church reports sent out recently from
Dubuque.
"A case In which a pallium, or, rather,
ths absence of one, caused some Incon
venience has just occurred In New York.
The date for the consecration of Father
Conley as bishop of Buffalo was set for a
number of weeks ago, but Bishop Farley,
previous to the date set, had been raised
from a bishop to archbishop of New York.
In his own province Buffalo being in ths
province of New York an archbishop is
not allowed to perform certain ceremonies,
such ss the blessing of the oils on Holy
Thursday, ths ordaining of priests or ths
consecration of bishops without wear
ing his pallium, though he Is al
lowed to perform all of these ceremonies
outside It without wearing his pallium, be
ing, In fact, forbidden to wear It outside
his own province. The pallium for Arch
bishop Farley did not arrive for a num
ber of weeks, and It may be stated that
when the see of Omaha Is raised and
Bishop Scannell becomes Archbishop Scan
nell, it will be known for weeks, snd pos
sibly months, before a pallium Is received
by him by his special representative. The
pallium Is a narrow strip of lamb's wool,
blessed with particularly solemn cere
monies once each year In Rome."
