STATE CORN
CROP YIELD
IS ENORMOUS
Iliirlinrlnn IJenorts Show State to
a
Produce 199,000.000 Bushels
v-
This Year.
While the Burlington a week ago
discontinued the issuance of weekly
crop reports until the beginning of the
growing" season of next year, it is
out with a sort of supplemental re
port, dealing with the prospective
corn yields in Nebraska, precipitation
and the condition of the soil.
Compiled from data secured from
agents in all parts of the state, the
Burlington officials estimate the corn
yield as follows:
Omaha division. l!S bushels per acre;
Lincoln. l!7; Wymore, 2?; McCook, 18.
It is asserted that the foregoing
t'iguits are conservative and that if
there is any scaling to be done, it
will be up intead of down. On the
basis of the estimated yield per acre,
it is figured that the total Nebraska
urn yield for the year will be about
1 :'. '.000.000 bushels.
No Damage by Frost.
Although there were several frosts
!i;iinr the last ten days, the assur
;.rce is given that little, if any, of the
N.t.raka corn was damaged, the the
: being that when the frosts came
the crop was so far along that they
1'clptd to mature that portion that
happened to be a little late and back
ward.. It is estimated that the seeding of
winter wheat is about 50 per cent fin
ished ar.d that plowing, prior to seed
ing, has been completed.
During the last week all over the
state there were heavy rains, the pre
cipitation everywhere except over a
limited section along the Missouri
river being from one to four inches.
The heaviest rain was down through
the southern part of the state.
DEATH OF A FORMER RESI
DENT IN HAWAII TUESDAY
From Wednesday's Dally.
In press dispatches from Honolulu
is conveyed the news of the death in
that city of John W. Dorrington, a
former resident of Nebraska but who
has of late years resided at Yuma,
Ariz. Mr. Dorrington will be remem
bered by a great many of the older
residents of this city as he made his
home here in the late sixties and the
early seventies, and was quite prom
inent in the early life of this county.
He was a brother of Mrs. Isham
Keavis of Falls City, mother of Con-
ressman C. F. Reavis, and the sister
was witn mm ac tne time oi nis
leath. Mr. Dorrington had gone to
Honolulu some time ago in an effort
to try and regain his health, but
shortly arfter reaching the Hawaiian
islands it was found that his malady
was cancer and in a stage where it
was impossible to atiord him any re
lief, and his last days were spent at
the home of a niece in the Hawaiian
city. Relatives will go to California
to meet the body and bring it back
to Nebraska for burial, in the state
where Mr. Dorrington had spent his
younger clays.

Work began in the Normal Wednes
day, September 13. While the registration-
shows a decrease in the num
ber of students taking secondary work
there is a marked increase'in the num
ber of students of collegiate rank. On
account of this heavy registrator' it
has been necessary to divide many of
the collegiate classes into sections.
On Monday evening the Christian
organizations of the school tendered a
eception to students and faculty mem
bers and a large number assembled
to take alvantage of this opportunity
to get acquainted. A very pleasing
program was rendered comprising of
orchestra numbers, cornet solos, violin
solos and readings.
