The latest Nebraska crop bulletin
says: The week has been exceedingly
dry and all crops have suffered severe
ly. The temperature has been about
normal in the western part of the
state and below the normal in the
southeastern part of the state. There
has been an excess of sunshine, which
has intensified the effects of the drouth.
Corn is everywhere suffering from
drouth, but owing to the scattered dis
tribution of showers during the past
two weeks it is injured in some locali
ties more than in others. Some fields
are probably ruined, even in the south
eastern section of the state, while in
the southwestern section of the state
is even more serious, as many fielks are
now past help.

BAD FOR CORN IN KANSAS.
It Du Dnn Damaged Greatly by the
Hot. Dry Weather.
Topeka, Kan., .July 2o.—.Railroad
Commissioner John Hall, who hat just
come in from the West, says that un
less rain fulls within twenty-four
hours there wiil be no corn in that
section. In the central and western
parts of the state the most favorable
weather would not make a crop,
Further east rains would save it. Mr.
Ilall says the hot blnst has affected
all kinds of vegetation as fur east us
Want ego in Pottawatomie county.
Equally discouraging reports continue
to came from the northwest as far
east as Republic county, and on the
southern border of the state it is said
the corn has been burnt out from the
western border of Cowley county to
the Colorado line, including the south
half of the counties lying immediately
north.
Pittsburg, Kan.. July 28.—The hot
winds and drouth are injuring1 all
hinds of crops in this vicinity and the
fine corn prospects are gradually
dwindling down. Gardens are being
devoured by worms and insects and
everything tends toward damage and
ruin. The thermometer is ranging
every day from 100 to !04. Those best
posted claim that if a rain does not
visit this section soon there will not
be more than half a crop of corn.
Washington, Kan., July 28.—Hot
wind yesterday has increased damage
to corn fifty per cant. This morning
wind is from the southwest, same as
yesterday. Hot wind is sure to-day
again. Sky is clear.
Mankato, Kan., July 28.—A scorch
ing hot wind blew all day yesterday.
Corn crop is gone unless good rains
come soon.
St. Joseth, Mo., July 28.—The tem
perature is 100 above to-day and the
hot winds continue. So great has
been the damage to crops and so wide
spread has been the extent of the hot
wind storm that many traveling men
of this city will not go out on their

the West.
IMPORTANT TO ARCHITECTS.
Government nulliling. to Be Designed
unit Superintended Through Bids.
Washington, July 2 8.—The plan ad
vocated by the American Institute of
Architects, to secure plans for public
buildings by competition, was in
dorsed yesterday by the house com
mittee on public buildings, which de
cided by a unanimous vote to report
the bill. A committee of three archi
tects of high standing appointed by
the president and two members of the
engineer corps of the army to dis
charge, under the general direction of
the secretary of the treasury, all ad
ministrative duties relating to procur
ing designs and appointing architects
is provided by the bill.
For buildings costing 8100,000 the
commission is to vote for five archi
tects to prepare designs for competi
tion, and for buildings of less cost,
one architect is to be empowered to
prepare the plans. Of course the
commission selects the design.
Unsuccessful competitors are to be
paid for their work, and the archi
tects, when such plans are adopted,
will supervise the work of building,
receiving for remuneration five per
cent of the cost of the work.

"Mrs. Beale, her husband and a

North beach bath house, where they
indulged in bathing in the big plunge.
Not one of the party can swim. Mrs.
Beale being bolder than any of the
others took it upon herself to teach
them. Yesterday three or four were
in the water when Mrs. Beale ven
tured beyond her depth and went
under.
. Roy Jones, a son of Senator Jones
of Nevada, was attracted to the scene
by her struggles and cries for help. ■
Mrs. Beale had disappeared under the
water for the third time when Jones
plunged in—hat, clothes and all—and
as he is an expert in the water soon
fished the lady out and thus saved her
life.

THE PRESIDENT SOLICITOUS
FOR THE TARIFF BILL.
HOLDS CONFERENCES WITH LEADERS
Mr. Cleveland Sends for Representative
>lc Mil 11 n Immediately After the Sen
ate Voted to Send the Tariff Hill
Bark to Conference—Speaker
Crisp Also Visits the 1’resi
dent— Washington News.
Washington, July 30.—A messenger
from the executive mansion reached
the house of representatives half an
hour after the senate had voted to
send the tariff bill back to conference,
with a note for Representative McMil
lin, the ranking' house conferrce in
the absence of Mr. Wilson, asking him
to call at the White house. This fol
lowing the conference between the
president and Speaker Crisp earlier in
the day, was taken to indicate the
solicitude the president felt on the
outcome of the second conference.
Mr. McMillin declined to talk of his
call on the president.
Messrs. McMillin and Turner are
the only house conferees in town, but
Speaker Crisp has word that Mr.
Montgomery and Chairman Wilson
would be here to-day. The Democratic
conferees will hold an informal meet
ing to-day, and Senator Jones said
the full conference, including
Republican members, would probably
be called together on Monday. The
general impression about the senate
is that the conference now agreed on
will not be as prolonged as
the *fonner one, as senators are
of the opinion the committee either
will agree on a report within two or
three days after the sittings begin or
within that time to report another
disagreement. The preponderance of
opinion is, however.that there will not
be another disagreement. In fact, the
Democratic conferrees assert another
disagreement means the defeat of the
bill.
The indications all point to the pro
bability that the sugar schedule again
will be the principal point of conten
tion. and that but for the differences
on this point an agreement would be
reached after a very brief sitting.
The Democratic members of the con
ference went through the bill very
carefully during their former sitting
and agreed on a vast amount of the
items in it, so that they will not need
to consider these points again very
fully. It is probable, however, that
the Republican members of the com
mittee will ask for an explanation of
the many charges, and this action, of
course, would have the effect of de
laying the conference report.
Trouble Over Indian Lands
Washington, July 30.—The long
pending proposition to open to settle
ment the Fort Sill country, the gar
den spot of the Indian territory, goes

on Indian affairs has reported a bill

presses the opinion that the question
of the claim of the Choctaws and
Chickasaws to an equity in this great
region, as well as the lands occupied
by the Wichitas. must be determined
before the opening.

Mr. McBride Explains Why There Was
No General Strike.
Massillon, Ohio, July 30.—John Mc
Bride, president of the United Mine
Workers, says that the Chicago trou
ble is over for the present at least,but
“simply because the heads of labor
organizations of this country refused
to call out their men.
“We knew,” he said, “that to call
out 150,000 men in Chicago and 1,000,
000 elsewhere meant a terrific clash,
civil war and perhaps revolution. We
stayed our hands in the interests of
peace.
“I think we are nearing a socialistic
condition, when the individual will be
the charge of the state.
“I would not be surprised to see be
fore the next year such a union be
tween the American Federation of
Labor and other organizations and the
People's party as would lead to politi
cal success.
D “There never would have been any
strike outside of Pullman had it not
been for the action of the general
managers.
“Debs' idea at the outset was to de
clare a boycott on Pullman cars and
urge the public to keep out of them.
The managers declared a war of ex
termination upon the American Rail
way Union, and the latter, to main
tain its own existence, was obliged to
resort to the strike.”

Kansas City, Mo., July 30.—John P.

FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Towns Burning Cp anil Lumber Mills
Destroyed lb Wisconsin.
Ashland, YVis., July 30.—Forest
fires are producing great suffering
and loss throughout this vicinity, * and
railroad companies have never before
experienced such damage from fires.
On the Wisconsin Central railroad it
is impossible to move trains. Phillips,
the headquarters of the John
R. Oavis Lumber company, a
manufacturing town of 3,500,
is destroyed by fire and only
a few buildings remain standing. A
dispatch just received from Fifield, a
small station a few miles this side of
Phillips, says that 500 women and
children from Phillips are in the
woods there without shelter. They
sent a request for food and supplies
as the supply at Fifield is very short.
The train that started from here last
evening was obliged to return as the
bridges are totally destroyed a few
miles south. Communication with
Fifield is now shut off and it is feared
that town is also on fire.
Along the Omaha line the fires are
raging with terrible fierceness.
Shore’s Crossing, a little village eight
miles west of Ashland, was destroyed
yesterday afternoon, not a building
remaining standing and the homeless
families wCre brought to Ashland.
The railroad bridges near there were
destroyed, and at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon a fast Omaha freight
and sixteen loaded cars were
entirely burned. Both the engineer
and firemen were injured, and the
brakemen are missing. Loss to ears
and freight many thousand dollars.
Mason, a small town south of the
Omaha line, caught fire yesterday af
ternoon. The White River Lumber
company’s mill, with 40,000,000 feet of
lumber in the yards, was destroyed,
and at G o’clock, the latest report re
ceived here, says the entire town was
threatened.
The Omaha bridge across the White
river at Mason is burned. Railroad
officials say the loss at Mason is fully
81,000,000. with $‘-50,000 insurance.
Homesteaders in the outlying dis
tricts are all lieeing into the nearest
towns, leaving their homes to the
fury of the flames. So far no loss of
life* is reported. The fire department
is carefully guarding the outside
limits of Ashland and the city is not
in any immediate danger. .
For two hours yesterday afternoon
150 men, women and children were
confined on five acres of ground, sur
rounded by one seething mass of
flames, and one must see a forest fire
to realize how much danger there is
with stifling couds of smoke, and all
communication or means escape cut
off. It was a case of pump or take to
the mill pond.
BUSINESS REVIEW.
A Temporary Improvement Noted—
Lowest I'rice for Wheat.
New York, July 30.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade, which
issues to-day, says; “The heavy outgo
of gold, the fall of the treasury re
serve and of the price of wheat to the
lowest point on record and the in
creasing uncertainty about the tariff
have entirely overshadowed other
industries. Business delayed for
months by two great strikes
now crowds the railroads and
swells returns, and gives the impres
sion of a revival in business. But it is
not yet clear how far there is an in
crease in new traffic, distinguished
from that which has been merely
blockaded or deferred. In some
branches there has been more
activity, but in others less, because
events early this week led many
to infer that no change of tariff would
be made. The internal revenue re
ceipts on whisky suddenly dropped
more than half, and sales of wool
greatly increased. But the uncer
tainty is not removed, and much of
the business seems to be in the nature
of insurance against possibilities.
Wheat has found its way to the
lowest depths, and has sold below fif
ty-five cents, making the monthly
average at New York the lowest ever
known. Corn was stronger, with ac
counts of injury to part of the crop,
and the exports are trifling.
For the week failures have been 249
in the United States, against 3G8 last
year and 39 in Canada, against 23 last
year. _
Bradstreet Report.
New York, July 30.—Bradstreet's
review of the state of trade says to
day: Leading influences affecting the
course of general trade throughout
the United States within the week
have not resulted in a net gain. Pro
longed drouth and hot winds
have damaged corn and other
crops in Nebraska and fears
are entertained of like losses in Kan
sas. Without early rains there re
duction in the yield of Indian corn is
expected to be considerable. The
outlook for the yield in the spring
wheat states is regarded as unfavora
ble, which reacts upon country mer
chants and checks demand.
A Meteor Falls to California.
San Rafael, Cal., July 30.—At 7:30
o’clock last night what appeared to
be a meteor fell slowly in the sky
near here. The body was large and

from many other places in the Central
and Northern parts of the state.

LAND LAW AMENDMENTS.
Hall of Minnesota Introduces a BUI of
Interest to Fnblto Land Settlers.
Washington, July 26.—Representa
tive Hall of Minnesota to-day reported
to the house a bill amending the ex
isting law regarding public lands
Provision is msMe whereby settlers in
townships, not mineral or reserved by
the government or persons and asso
ciations lawfully possessed of coal
lands, or owners of grantees of pub
lic lands, shall have the right to have
such lands surveyed under certain
conditions..
This feature of the bill has in view
the enlargement of the facilities con
tained in the coal land laws, by per
mitting such lands to be surveyed as
can now be done in the case of agri
cultural lands required for actual
settlement.
The discoverer of a valuable deposit
of coal upon the unsurveyed public
domain may now take possession of
and hold his mine, yet there is no
provision of law under which a patent
can issue therefor until the public
surveys have been so extended as to
embrace it.
Another feature of the' bill provides
that when settlers or owners or
grantees of public lands make deposits
in payment of the cost of surveys cer
tificates shall be issued therefor and
these may be used in part payment
for the lands settled upon.

The Alien Paper Car WUeel Work* Start
Up—Pullman's Ken Bold Oat.
Chicago, July 3d.—The Allen paper
car wheel works at Pullman started
up to-day with about a dozen new
men. The officials of the company
say they hare no connection with the
Pullman company beyond renting
power from it; that they have notified
their employes to return to work,
guaranteeing them protection, and
that unless they return the company
proposes to go ahead and operate the
works with new men. There is no
evidence of weakening among the
