The Russian thistle, says the Red Cloud Golden Belt, is a plant that in shape resembles the “tumble weed.” If you find such a plant about your premises or in your neighborhood, and if upon examination you find "prick ers" beginning to develop so that when you thrust your hand into the center of the plant it is stung, then you want to get a move on you and dig up all such plants or you won’t be able to find the ground next year. 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 runs until rain has fallen throughout 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. SAVED HER LIFE. Ur*. Truxtou Beale Rescued From Drown ing by Senator Jones's Son, Los Angelos, Cal., July 28.—Mrs.; Truxton Beale, daughter of the late James G. Blaine, had a narrow escape from death at Santa Monlea beach on Wednesday. "Mrs. Beale, her husband and a party of friends have been at Santa Monica during the past two weeks and have spent much time at the 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 to the courts. The house committee on Indian affairs has reported a bill to that effect. The committee ex 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. Moore-Fnnston Contest. Washington, July 30.—House lead ers have once more agreed to take up the Moore-Funston contest case, and have agreed to dispose of it Wednes day next. The last delay was oc casioned by the absence of Funston From the city. THEY STAYED THEIR HANDS. 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.” skull Crushed by a Fall. Kansas City, Mo., July 30.—John P. Hannon, familiarly known among his acquaintances as “Jack” Hannon, one of the wealthiest saloon keepers in this city, pitched backward from a railing on which he was sitting on the Wall street side of the New York Life building yesterday afternoon and tumbled headlong down an areaway twenty-five feet deep.

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 luminous. The meteor was observed from many other places in the Central and Northern parts of the state. THE MARKETS. Kansas City Grain. Kansas City.

Judge Grosscup then announced that ho had taken no part in the decision on-the motion to quash and he announced further that he would take no part in the contempt proceedings for the reason that the defendants are under indictment in the United States dis trict court over which he presides and the same questions of law will bo raised under the indictments, in fair ness to the defendants, Judge Cross cup said, he would not sit any longer in the investigation of the charge of contempt.

The bonds first re quired were 810,000 each. 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. PULLMAN’S HOUSE ATTACKED. An Anarchist Throws Stones Thronjh Plato Glass Windows and Is Arrested. Chicago, July 26.—Simon Reskins, a Russian, made an assault upon the residence of George M. Pullman to day. He hurled many stones at the building, breaking out ten or t dozen large plate glass windows, and was arrested. In the pockets of his overcoat were found several more good sized stones, but uo other weapons, and in his coat were found preliminary naturaliza tion papers. When questioned he delivered him self of enrses against the United States government and George M. Pullman. He said Pullman had thrown him out of work, and that this was not the last Pullman would see of him. Later he admitted that he was a tailor by trade and had not been working at anything for a year. George M. Pullman and his entire family are in the Hast; no one but the servants occupying the house. LIVE STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKET* Quotations from New York, Chicago, St. Loal., Omaha and Elsewhere.
