Corn Will l Poor. j
Jolm Kraeger hu.l daughter, MIh.j ,
Llz.lo, were In Pluttsniouth today.
Mr, Kraegcr nays the corn In lis
neighborhood will be very light, the
rains which visited riattsmouth re
cently, missed Ms locality almost en
tirely. Mr. Kraecor thinks the crop
will make lots of rough feed but the
farmers generally are not prepared
to harvest their corn in this way.
Some got the harvesters In 1901, but
liavo had no occasion to use them
since. And to buy them for one
year Is expensive. Mr. Kraegcr re
sides five and a halt miles west of
Mynard and that locality has had a
small amount of moisture this year.
Mrs. R. II. Cowles of Hamburg, la.,
and children, Glen and Elmer and
Mrs. Clements and son Homer, of the
same city, arrived today to be the
guests of relatives for a few days.

TRADE STILL IRREGULAR
Business Unsatisfactory at Some
Points, but Optimism Prevails.
New York, Aug. C R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business conditions are Irregular, and
at some points unsatisfactory, and yet
i3 better than the superficial aspect of
leading markets make It appear. Re
ports from principal trade centers are
optimistic. Pig iron production con
tinues to diminish, but demand for
steel products, particularly for wire,
pipe and structural materials, Is large.
Prices are little changed. New orders
for footwear come in slowly. The
leather market Is still waiting.
Bradstreet's says: Traue reports
are still quiet In fall demand,
though the advance of the season and
progress of crops toward harvest has
aided in enlarging Jobbing demand in
the west Building returns for Julv

TROOPS ARE SENT
TO SANSEBASTIAN
Uprising l.i Summar Capita! of
Spain Nat IrcpMs.
Madrid, Aug. 6. Alarmed by fears
that the proposed demonstration of
the clerical forces at San Sebastian,
the summer capital, will assume the
character of an uprising, the govern
ment began to rush troops into San
Sebastian. A regiment of hussars left
Madrid, followed by another regiment
of cavalry and two battalions of chaus
seurs. A regiment of Infantry also was
ordered from Victoria.
The government believes the Carl
lsts and the members of the religious
orders, which are numerous In north
ern Spain, are openly inciting their
followers to violence. The governors
of the Basque provinces and the ad
Joining province of Navarre issued or
ders to the mayors of all the munici
palities in these provinces to warn
the Roman Catholics against assem
bling or entering the city of San Se
bastian with arms and that the most
energetic measures would be taken to
repress, any attempt at a manifesta
tion. YESTERDAJTS RESULTS

SEARS L0RIMER DEMOCRATS
Bryan Says Fool In Legislature Is
Nearly as Dangerous as Knave.
Lincoln, Aug. 6. In a statement
published in his paper in reference to
the meeting held recently in Lincoln,
111., to protest against legislative cor
ruption, William J. Bryan declared
that the Democratic legislators who
voted to elect William Lorimer to the
United States senate, should be read
out of the Democratic party.
"Any Democrat who voted for Lori
mer for 'patriotic' reasons ought to
be retired to private life and kept
there long enough to learn what patri
otism means," said Mr. Bryan. "It is
almost as dangerous to have a fool in
the legislature as a knave.
"A Democratic legislator who could
be convinced that he was performing
a patriotic duty In voting for Lorimer
could be persuaded to do anything de
sired by a lobby, provided the same
patriotic arguments were used. He is
not fit for any representative po
sition it Is hardly safe to allow him
to run at large.
"Turn them out. The party ctrr-riot
pause to defend those who are guilty
or who, if Innocent, have aroused sus
picion which can never he removed "
