The Lincoln Journal says that Geo.

from his agents scattered over a large
part of the state, and he says they give
assurances of a big crop. Mr. Lowrey
is now of the opinion that the oat crop
will not only be large, but actually the
biggest ever raised in the state. One
of his agents wrote a doleful letter two
weeks ago in which he said there could
not possibly be any oats, but the same
man wrote again yesterday declaring
he had not believed such a change
could have been wrought in two weeks.
He said prospects were good and a rain
in two weeks would make the crop cer

was occasioned by a report that had
been printed in a state paper, to the
effect that the oxhibitors would be ob

exhibits This is most emphatically
denied by the managers. There has
not been a time in the last decade when
exhibitors have been called on to pay
these charges at the Nebraska state
fair. The fair association has always
paid them and it is one of the express
provisions in the agreement by which
the fair was taken to Omaha, that all of
these charges should be paid without
expense to the exhibitor.
„ AW ?tnt to Veteran*.
The final report of the relief commit
tee of the Grand Army of the Republic
has been filed. The relief committee
was composed of ex-Dcpar’tment Com
mander Church Howe of Auburn, T. 8,
Clurtson Oniaha and A. M. TrimMe
of Lincoln and was appointed at the
state encampment whiyh met at Hast
ings last February. Before the com
mittee ' had been officially appointed
Commander Howe and his adjutant,
Mr. Trimble, had commenced the relief
work, and up to the time of the Hast
ings encampment hud collected $2,348,
01) in cash and disbursed $1,048.52, leav
ing a balance of $399.57 to be turned
over to the relief committee. In addi
tion to the cash Messrs. Howe and
Trimble had made 144 shipments of
supplies, consisting of 851 packages of
Hour, prvisions and clothing, together
with 400 tons of coal and several cars
of wood and grain, the estimated value
of the whole being #5,725.
The report shows that the relief com
mittee had disbursed $22,049.40.
This amount has gone to the veteran
soldiers in needy circumstances and
has been distributed through the Grand
Army posts in the drouth affected dis
trict. There was no cumbersome sys
tem connected with the distribution of
the relief funds. When an application
for assistanee came from a Grand Army
post it was taken for granted that the
post knew exactly what it wanted.
Immediately ’upon receipt of such ap
plication the committee would mail a
draft for-the amount needed tosupply
the relief and a telegram would be sent
stating that the-funds were -on their
way. Kach post purchased the-sup
plies at home with the cash sent by the
relief committee. In this 'way two
thirds of the money applied to the re
lief of needy veterans'was'nOt diverted
to the railroads for freight eharges.
The bommittee-also distributed an im
mense amount Of-supplies,chiefly coal,
clothing add provisions. A targe part.
' of these supplies'Nvtre ' carried 'free by
' the railroads.
The Omiha ’ Bee says the local solic
■ Iting committee, which is-seenriug sub
scriptions for the' antitmnal festivities
at the fair, report the SI popular sub-'
seription idea is likely to be fruitful of
great results. It gives • everybody a
chance 'to contribute a" share and help
build up the great enterprise. The
rain has created a general confidence
ail over the state, and. while the loca{
subscriptions will be fully up to ex*
peclations, the board has received en
encouraging advices from- all over the
state, which assures the interests of
farmers and citizebs, ■ and the man
agers anticipate a large attendance and
I extensive exhibit in every department.

THE TRADE REVIEW,
A GENUINE BOOM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
Report* from Every Part of the I'nlot.
Are Favorable—Better Crop Condi
tion* a Good Feature—Failure* for
the Week.
Now Tork, June 17.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
"It Is no longer a question whether
business Improves. Not for a long time
have our reports from all parts of the
country been so uniformly favorable.
The dally average of bank clearings In
June is 24.8 per cent larger than last
year, though 11.4 per cent less than In
1892. The most potent Influence has
been the receipt of more favorable ad
vices regarding growing crops. Labor
troubles are getting out of the way;
wages In many establishments are ris
ing, and, with the Iron Industry just
now leading, there Is general Improve
ment In manufactures. Monetary con
dition also helps. The time draws near
when, with good crops, exports will
bring gold hither, and though foreign
operations in stocks and bonds have
been Insignificant this week, the effect
of the previous transaatlons has not
been exhausted.
"Much diminished receipts of money
from the Interior Indicate better employ
ment in business and especially at the
West, the volume of commercial loans
steadily rises and Is now fair for this
season, even in a good year. Western
receipts for two weeks of June were
3,116.680 bushels of wheat, against 3,001,
202 last year, while Atlantic exports,
flour Included, were only 2,364,847 bush
els, against 4,630.227 last year. Effects
of the rise In prices were 3een in the of
ficial report of May exports, showing a
decrease of 1,000,000 bushels from At
lantic, but an Increase of 2,000,000 from
Pacific in exports. The price was re
duced 2% in trading. Corn also declined
about lc, with better reports of growth.
“The official statement of 14.8 decrease
In cotton acreage was quickly found. In
view of revised government estimates
for last year, to mean more than 20,
000,000 acres now growing cotton, which
much exceeds the best unofficial esti
mates, and from an area no greater over
9,000,000 bales were produced In 1891, so
that the report gave no aid to prophets
of evil. That some reduction would be
well for the south Is clear, but the heavy
present surplus will cover a larger loss
than seems probable. Cottonmanufac
turers look for a speedy settlement of la
bor troubles and find a moderate de
mand for low, and medium, and heavy
weight goods, while some of the cheap
er lines of spring goods have been
opened with encouraging results, but as
to better trade there Is still great uncer
tainty about prices. The anthracite coal
trade does not maintain the Improve
ment recently reported, and with palpa
ble overproduction, bad faith being
charged again, the price has declined 25
cents. The coke producers about Con
nellsville have not yet made open decla
ration of their new compact, but con
tracts are being made at $1.35 for the
last half year, with provisions for ad
vance If wages rise.
"Failures for the last week have been
241 in the United States, against 232 last
year, and 24 In Canada, against 40 last I
[ear.” '."■**-> i!
Indiana Crop Outlook llad.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 17.—Returns
from 254 townships in this state show
that the average amount of wheat
plowed up is 4.5 per cent. It is esti
mated that the average yeield In these
townships will be 7.8 bushels an acre.
If the reports are correct, and the
same ratio will hold good throughout
the state, the total yield for the year,
based on an acreage of last year, will
be only 19,815,307 bushels, a decrease of
61.2 per cent in the yield. It Is expected
that the reports from a large majority
of the townships wili be in during next
week when a more concise estimate of
the crop can be made than is now pos
ilble.

4... Threaten a Lynching,
Peoria, 111., June 17.—A hundred farm
ers living In the vicinity of Altaij this
county, have organized a posse and are

Cutworms In Kentucky Tocacco.
Cincinnat, Ohio, June 17.—About six
weeks ago there were reports of rav
ages of the sirmy worm in Kentucky,
but the stories subsided until yesterday,
when reports came that In Morgan
county, Ky., cutworms are working in
juriously on young tobacco plants.
Similar reports came from Owen coun
ty and Booth county, Ky., and Brown
county, Ohio. The state commissioner
of agriculture gives the tobac o acre
age In Kentucky as 80 per cent, and the
condition as 68 per cent.
Cun Race at Roby, I rid,
Indianapolis, Itid., June 17.—The Su
preme court adjourned yesterday with

ward and confidently expeoted the de
cision lh -the recent injunction case
would come before the summer vaca
tion. There will be no way to get at
the Supreme court until fall unless-it

'Revolution Is Disastrous,
Washington, June 17.—The state'de
partment has received information of
the serious devastation the ’ revolution
in Colombia is causing. The govern
ment is out ef funds and is making tax
levies which are hard to bear, placing
an enormous1 export tax on coffee, the
principle crop of the country. The revo
lution also has drained the country of
men, and has resulted in the destruc
tion of crops and of animals-used for
transportation. 1
To Erect a Statue of Cromwell.

ARL13LE AT LCJlSVILLSi
The Secretary of the Treasury Talk*
Atainat Silver.
Louisville Ky., June 17.—Secretary
Carlisle last evening made an address
on the currency question. He repeated
his argument that the undervalued met
al would be driven out of the country
by the adoption of a bimetallic system,
and at some length paid attention to
the claims that the fall In the price of
silver was due to Its demonetisation.
He said: "It Is Insisted that the fall In
the price of sliver Is attributable to the
legislation In Germany, the United
States, France and various other coun
tries during and since the year 1873, and
most llloglcally It Is also insisted that
notwithstanding the reduced price of
that metal is the result of the un
friendly action of a great many govern
ments acting In concert and with a set
tled purpose, the United States alone
can restore the value of silver. Of
course if it required the action of
twelve or thirteen different governments
to bring the price of silver to Its pres
ent state it would seem quite clear that
no one of them alone could restore It.
The fall In the price of silver was not
due to the legislation complained of but
to an enormous overproduction. While
the farmers and other producers are
struggling to live comfortably and meet
their obligations, owners of silver mines
have accumulated enormous fortunes.
That the fiat of the government does
not make money was illustrated by the
history of the trade dollar. What hap
pened to the trade dollar would be ex
actly what would happen to all other
silver dollars If free and unlimited
coinage was adopted.”
MUST NOT CARRY ARMS.
Trial of Alleged Lynchers of Barrett
Scott Commenced,
Butte, Neb., June 17.—The celebrated
Scott trial is now commenced. The at
torney-general entered a nolle In the
case of Pinkerman, Stanton, Roy, and
Oberle, four of the defendants, leaving
but threee and reducing the preemp
tory challenges of the defendants from
112 to thirty-three. Two hundred tales
men have been called already and nine
were passed for cause. At that rate
It will take a week to secure a Jury. An
effort Is being made to secure a tent
owing to the poor sanitary condition ot
the building. The court instructed the
sheriff and bailiff to see that no one
entered the courtroom carrying arms.
Excitement is very high, as the people
of this county are Indignant that the
case is being tried In it, and the attor-'
ney-general is wholly responsible for '
this. To-day witnesses to the number !
of 200 will arrive. W. F. Gurley of
Omaha is here to assist the state. I

The Reason for tho Abandonment of
the Burning Vestel, Why Not, by Its
Crew, Not Yet Known—Yesterday's
News from Across the Water.
St. Malo, June 13.—Particulars have
been received here of the desertion of
the passengers by the crew of the Brit
ish vessel Why Not after Are broke out
on board the ship while on her way to
the Island ot Jersey. It appears that
Are was discovered In the Why Not's
hold Saturday and while the sailors
were attempting to quench the flames
a bucket was dropped overboard. A
boat was lowered to recover It and the
captain jumped Into this boat and was
followed by the crew.
One passenger sprang overboard and
swam after the boat. Into which he was
reluctantly taken. The deserted pas
sengers were greatly alarmed and the
excitement among them Increased when
a small boat was seen to be pulling for
Erquay,where the crew eventually land
ed. Taking advantage of a breeze the
passengers handled the Why Not as
best they could and succeeded In beach
ing her near Erquay. The Incident has
caused intense excitement at St. Brleux,
the nearest town to Erquay, and the
matter Is being thoroughly investigat
ed by the local authorities.
The captain of the Why Not, although
not under arrest, Is closely watched by
the police. It is understood that the
British consul here will take the mat
ter up and upon his report will depend
further action.
COULDN'T SCARE HIM,
flashier of a Montana Bank Not Afraid of
a Gun.
Butte, Mont., June 13.—A man, who
refused to give his name, entered the
Silver Bow National bank here at the
noon hour yesterday and demanded
money from W O. Thomas, who was in
charge. The demand was backed by a
revolver which was thrust through the
paying teller’s window. Thomas
jumped behind the counter, grabbed a
revolver and fired six shots Into the
celling to attract the attention of peo
ple In the street. The robber ran out of
the building and with his pistol or
dered people out of his way.
A policeman heard the shooting and
met the man running away. A battle
took place between the two and was
kept up for a block, both emptying
their weapons at each other. A part of
the officer’s coat was carried away by a
bullet, but otherwise no damage was
done. The robber was captured by a
deputy sheriff. He is a stranger here,
having arrived ten days ago, along with
a gang of safe-blowers. He secured no
money.
The officers of the bank gave the po
liceman and deputy sheriff $100 each for
their work. The bankers had heard
that an attempt would be made to rob
them, but paid little attention to the
warning.

CHINESE INDEMNITY LOAN.
Likely the Amonnt Will He Advanced
bv French and Russian Bankers.
London, June 13.—A Berlin dispatch
to the Standard says the Chinese loan
which Russia has guaranteed forms a
part of the war indemnity and was
raised in accordance with the tertns of
a recently concluded secret Russo-Chi
nese treaty. Japan has agreed that if
<15,000,000 is paid forthwith the remain
der may be paid within six years. It
is therefore likely that the whole of the
Indemnity will be advanced by French
and Russian bankers, only China hopes
to Induce Russia to be satisfied with 4
per cent interest.
