, it has been suggested that a
purchase of ten acres of the Dillon

Some fellow turned in a false
alarm from. the box in the Third

succeeded in bringing" out the three

speediest rider in town.

A delegation composed E. M. F.
Leflang, Judge Neville, M. C. Har
rington, A. S. Baldwin and Lester
Eells left yesterday for Omaha, the
object of the trip being" to secure, if
possible, lower freight rates on the
Union Pacific. Prices of farm pro
ducts' in the east liave dropped to
such a low figure, that after the
.f reight tariff is paid it leaves but
little for the farmer. One of the
oreatest drawbacks to the develop
ment of this portion of Nebraska is
the excessive freight rates; and in
view of the increased business
which would accrue, the Union Pa
cific can well afford to make a reas
onable reduction in the tariff; The
delegation whicli left here will be
joined bydelegatipas at Lexington,

of hay this season.
Prof. Jos. Benesch, of the Kear
ney Midway military band, who
has a number of friends in this city,

"The Under Dog" is the name

usually advocated by "walking

leading educators of the state, a
brilliant man and a smooth talker.

of Messrs. Orr and Snyder, man
agers of the summer school, and
those who hear his lecture will un
doubtedly be highly pleased.
E. A. Stephens, of Crete, presi
dent of the state horticultural so
ciety, spent yesterday and part of
to-day in town. His mission was
to arouse the interest of fruit
growers in making a creditable dis
play at the state fair. Heretofore
the fruit display at the fair has
come from the South Platte coun
try, but this year Mr. Stephens is
anxious that the section north of
the Platte be well represented. He
thinks that the growers of this
county should have exhibits in
both the agricultural and horticul
tural halls.and would impress upon
them the necessity of properly
caring for the fruit while and after
picking. If proper interest is taken
a very creditable exhibit froni this
county can 'be made. " .

THE BICYCLE RACES.
The bicycle races at the fair
grounds "Wednesday , evening given
under the auspices of Clinton, the
jeweler, were well attended, but
were not as exciting as the crowd
naturally expected. The local
bicyclists are dropping into the
loafing habit, and especially is this
true where the race is a mile heat
or over; and the only way this can
be done away with is by using
pacemakers or setting a time limit
to the race. The riders, of course,
are not to be faulted for loafing;
they go into a race to win, and win
as easily as possible, but when a
bunch of riders go wheeling around
at a five minute gait the spectators
grow weary.
The first event was one mile
open. The entries were Fillion,
Hartman, Friend and Hainhne.
Fillion won in' 2:46 Hartman
second, 2:48; Hainhne third, 2:50;
Friend falling from his wheel.

There was but one entry in girls'
race, Mabel Donehower, going half

The largest corn crop this country
has ever produced was in 1889, when
the yield was 2,112,892,000 bushels.
The government crop report esti
mates this year's yield at 2,353,000,
000, or more than 140,000,000 above
the best record. The estimate of
the wheat crop is 408,000,000, though
well informed experts believe that
the harvest will show 30.000.000
bushels more than that amount.
The Modern Miller of this town
estimates that without regard to
supply or prices from other sources
Europe will take 125,000,000 bushels
of our wheat, whicli will leave a
little more than 300,000,000 bushels
for home consumption. That will
be ample to guarantee from hunger,
but not sufficient to put the price
down to low figure reached last
year. In other words, wheat will
command a fair price between this
and the harvest of 1896. Kansas
