In letter, a copy of which had been sent

-WASHINGTON; D. C, June 20, 104. Hon.
John J. Woolley, Chicago, 111,: Dear Sir
The many kind expressions of favorable
opinion In the editorial columns of your
paper and in letters from yourself and
many other prominent leaders I cannot
permit to pass unnoticed or without ex
pression of the appreciation and the deep
gratitude that I feel. The. high character
of the writers and those whom they repre
sent and their ujiefiught approval of aots of
my official life render their words mush
more than a compliment. The approval Of
such a large class of patriotic, high-minded
people 1 hold In the hlgheat estimation as
substantial reward and valiant potisenslon.
In Juatlce to the writers and to myeelf,
there is another reason why I should write
you at ,this time. .
Wants, Convention to Walt.
Frequent mention has been made by you
and by others of a proposal to place me In
nomination by the convention to meet at
Indlanapolla on the 2:9th Inst. As stated
by me In. a letter previously stated, my
judgment strongly favors the postpone
ment of action by that convention until .the
Comlnatlona at Chloago and Bt.. Louis have
een made. - ,
This was suggested not as denying or
questioning the Importance of the subject
of temperance, but In the hope that such
limited action In ..that matter as can be
made by national, authorities could bo cor
ordiriatetf" with -action regarding the many
Important subjects upon which the Ameri
can people must pass Judgment and which
must- occupy the attention of the executive
in the, near. future.
The excellent and patriotic people whom
you represent cannot be less Interested in
these' great national questions at this crit
ical period of our history than are the
great mass of their fellow citizens, for
these questions concern the very fabric and
form of our government as well-as the in
tegrity and efficiency. of Its administration.
The nomination .at Indianapolis on the
29th Instr, although an added and greatly
valued token of approval and confidence,
would not, in my Judgment, afford that
opportunity for afficfent and public service
which would be the .chief motive, for my
resuming official life. N

in front of the .United, States land,, office
was the unusual sight presented to O'Neill
people this morning, , Aside from those
there were many who did not consider It
necessary to stay In line all night. Every
one remarked that It waa the beet flatured
crowd that euer assembled on such a mis

yesterday and within a few minutes the
line stretched for more than a block.
The women of the local church societies

Seventy-five people camped at the door of

Miss Grace Calvin of Wallace fainted and

Nearly 200 numbers hsve already been

VANDALS' DAMAGE AIRSHIP
Unidentified Fertiet Slash tha Gu Bag of

WIU DELAY THE ' PROPOSED TRIAL
Baa; May B Repaired, 'bat Tot
Weeka r More win Be Re
- aalred to D the '
Wrk.
- BT. "LOUIS. Jun 2.-8tm tlma during
the night the gaa bag of SantoM-Durhont'a
airship was cut 'and slashed In such a
onanner as to preclude all possibility of Its
being repaired in time to allow an ascen
sion on July 1 The work was apparently
done with a Jack-knife. There are at least
twenty long rips in the bag, and Prof.
Carl Meyere, who has charge cf the aro
nautlo contests,-declares today that It will
take at least two weeks to repair the
damage.
. The big gas .bag had not yet been taken
from the orate In which it came from. Paris.
The cover had been removed by a customs
Inspector and the crate waa rolled Into the
center, of the big shed prepsred for tha
airship. Being of an. adhesive material,
the bag was hung In falda from slats laid
pear the toprof the shed and In-thl way
was. prevented from .becoming a solid mass
because of Its own weight There were
several folds of the bag over each slat,
and the vandal'drew his knife across these,
cutting through from two to four thick
nesses of the material with each slash.
.The work waa evidently done in haste, as
there were about a doaen slats covered
with folds of the bag and only four or five
of them Were cut When the damage waa
discovered A messenger waa, tent - to Mr.
Dumont at the Hamilton hotel and he hur
ried to the scene,
Placw Is Not Seen re.
"Ia thla true that - they tell me?" he
asked of Prof. Meyer, as he entered the big
shed. On receiving an affirmative reply
Mf. Dumont ollmbed onto a bench beside
the big orate and examined the damaged
bag.
"Well," he said, after a critical examina
tion, 'it is Just aa I told the fair people.
This place Is not seour enough."
"What will you dot" asked a representa
tive of tha Associated Press, who was
present '
"I do not know," was tha reply. "I
must first see just how much damage has
been dona, It will be Impossible to get a
new bag, and If an ascension is made, this
one must be repaired, I can think, of no
reason why any one should want to destroy
my airship." .. , ., . .
Prof.. Meyer made a careful - examina
tion of the cuts and said:-
I ran repair the damage, but it wilt
probably tak two weeks and possibly
longer. I cannot tell definitely until the
bag Is taken from the cratcand spread out.
I have soma material which is very nearly
like that used in the construction of the
damaged bag. To me the cutting seems to
have been done with a dull jack-knife.
In several places it has gone through only
the folds on the slats. .This Indicates that
the knife was dull and handled in a hurry.
I can conceive of no reason why any one
should want to destroy the bas; and I be
lieve the work was pure vandalism, .with
no other object In view than a destruction
of property.
' ' ' Will Look for Vandal. 1 '
Secretary Walter B. Stevens of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition company
wag' asked what action would be taken by
the' "exposition company and replied that
It waa 'too soon after the damage to have
any definite plans made, hut as soon aa
the fair officials could consult, proper measures-
would be taken to apprehend the
vandal- and- for J 'tha future rrotection of
the airship.'. t K,W A Vf ..- " '
...When the. damage Waa, done tha Shed
that sheltered ths gaa bag was patroled
Vy-a Jefferson Guari). and a special watch
man, .who was one of Mr. Dumont'a em
ployes. Neither saw anything of the van
dal, and the damage waa net discovered
until the workmen were a,bout to taka the
bag from ths box. - ., 5

... The Burllngtpn crop report covering the
past week says:
. ."Rainfall on the Sheridan division, where
measurements are not taken, during the
period covered by. thla report waa, on an
average, about one Inch, which- la all that
waa needed In that vicinity. ' In fact,
while the rainfall has been greater than
needed In places, at preaent, there are no
places where It haa hot been sufficient.
"No-unfavorable report la In' In regard
to the condition of small grain from any
ouarter; On the northern and southern
divisions the winter wheat, and ' In aom
eases the oats, are beginning to show the
golden color, and harvest Will, ' no doubt,
begin within ten days, On tha western
and Alllapce divisions small grain Is not
so far advanoed and harvest probably .will
be a week or ten daya later. There has
been considerable apprehension of rust but
ao far it haa been nothing worse than
apprehension, except In a very limited way.
Soma rust Is reported on winter wheat on
the Schuyler line ond west of Da Witt on
the middle line. No doubt there Is a small
amount of rusty grain In other plaoes, but
considering the very wet weather and aome
pretty warm weather It is, perhaps, rather
remarkable that a larger amount of grain
haa not already rusted. The wheat heads
everywhere are reported to be long and
filling well. Other small grain Is reported
In- equally aa good condition aa winter
grain.
"Reports from the northern and south
ern divisions Indicate that the continued
Wet weather has besn unfavorable for corn,
that la to say, corn has hot grown aa
rapidly In aome places as the weeds. Re
ports are not especially discouraging, ex
cept that corn Is backward and In many
places weedy. Ten days of dry, hot
weather would Improve conditions of this
crop very materially, as It would not only
put It forward more rapidly than It has'
heretofore gone, but would give the
farmers an opportunity to cultivate the
soil, On the western and Alliance divisions
the crop IS not suffering as much from ex
eesslv moisture, as the ground dries out
more quickly and Is in a better state of
cultivation than In tha eastern part r-f
Nebraska.
"The condition of all grass products con
tinues good. torans on . the rangee In
Montana Is reported to he better than for
years. This means that stock shipments
will begin earlier this year, aa stock la
already In fine shape. May, both alfalfa
and timothy, In the northwest Is excellent.
The first crop of alfalfa has been cut
wherever the crop is raised, and, as a rule,
has been pnf Into the stark In good shape;
soms bas, no doubt, been damsged by wet
weather. The range wae beginning to get
reiher dry in the' Big Horn basin until
the ralne of last week; it Is said to be In
good condition by thla tlms. '- A great
number of grasshopper is said to be ap
pearing on the rangvs In Montana and
Wyoming, but the grass Is so heavy and
so fur advanced that it Is not thought
tha aTaMlupprs. will do veiy much. dam
age during the present season. There wae
a oyclene on a small seal between Pedro
and Osng, Wry., on the afternoon of the
2nd; he damage waa done to company
property," except to blow down a number
of telegraph poles. . This strong wind wss
accompanied .by heavy fain. No special
change In the prospects for fruit since
last report; cherries are an enormous crop
and are sold as low aa 21.28 per bushel,
Matty -win not ba picked, as so many are
being offered that the price realised Is not
muck above tha cost ef picking; and. the
sal IS sometimes -uncertain. Apple crop
Is reported somewhat short on the northern
dlvisiem v Fache c-n the southern divis
ion, wher the majority are raised in our
territory, ore, sajd to be In "promising con
dition." '
