The Nebraska weather bureau puts forth the following: ‘ ‘Corn has made fairly good progress and with the e» 1 ception of the latest pieces, is entirely beyond danger of injury by frosts In some instances shucking has com menced and the yield is reported as unusually large.

This was for work alleged to have, been per formed at the Instance of a road over seer in destroying Russian thistles. It is admitted that the overseer employed the man to work on the public high ' way, that the county clerk certified to r the correctness of the account, but the county commissioners refused to allow the bill. Christensen brought suit and recovered judgment. Pierce county filed a demurrer. It was overruled, and judgment awarded as prayed for. The county now prosecutes an appeal on error., , Some time ago a collection of York' county products was taken to Illinois for exhibition at county fairs in that state. As an illustration of the resultd obtained from such a display the fol*. lowing extract from an Elmwood, Ilk, paper will suffice: “We advise our farmers, especially the man who con-' templates making a change, to look at the Nebraska exhibit at the county fair, lie will meet there with men who can tell him exactly the condi tions he may expect to meet With in farming in Nebraska He will see samples of corn that will average 60 to 70 bushels per acre over moat of the state and produced from land that cost from It to gio an acre; less, consider ably leaa in moat caeca than the aver age renter pays to get one year's crop from lands in this and adjoining states.” • * ** -‘ v - ■"'* ’ > • • Strljr tlilt other morning W.

Confidence slowly rises, specula tire buying of materisls for future use continues, imports of gold do not cease end the Bank of England has not tried to check them by further ad vances in rates, as the weight of the demand now falls upon France. But ah enormous business Is held back until the future is more clear. Maine’s great majority had no such influence, as was anticipated from a verdict less emphatic. To many minds nothing an Eastern State can do in a contest represented as seotional gives sufficient assurance how the Western and Southern States may decide. . In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron, baying, opening speculative in char acter, marks the current' business. Resumption of work by a good part of the Fall River cotton mills and ad vances in some kinds of cotton goods helped to raise the prices of middling uplands to 8Ko again, though realiz ing sent it down to 7>tfc.

Bmim Bsrorttirt— Dalton Ga., 8ept JL—Hoke Smith, ex-secretary of the interior, spoke here to-day to a large political rally, held under the auspices of the state Democratic executive committee. In opening he referred to a former visit to Dalton two years ago, at which he spoke in behalf of "sound currency,” and urged that the Democratie nation al platform should not appiove the fr«eTcoinsge of silver* He. stated that he would not be candid did- he fail to say to-day that bis views on the finan cial question remained unchanged, and he regretted that he oould not in dorse that part Of the platform adopted at the Chicago convention. He urged however, that those who. like himself, did not approve of this plank, would still remain loyal to the regular nomi nees of the party. Mr. Smith claimed that long after , the financial question was settled, the Democratic party would be found ad vocating principles dear to the in terests of the massea-of the people of the country, and it would be unwise to quit the party on account of oppo sition to a single plank in the plat form. So fares those were concerned Who bad taken a part in the fight for "sound money” delegates to the Chi cago convention, be felt that they were practically pledged, .as he was ■actually pledged, to vote for the nom inee ' Mr. Smith then briefly discussed that portion of the Chicago platform ’ which dealt with, the subject of rais ing revenue. He urged the justice of a tariff for revenue only, and con trasted it’with the high protective tariff for which McKinley so pre-emir nently stood.
