Eighteen years ago Sunday the little village of Wymore was incorporated. At that time there was little more than the name to Indicate that a town was located there. The town has slowly but steadily and healthfully grown, until it now has as progressive a city of 4,000 people as can be found in the west.

Much comment has neen occasioned by the recent newspaper dispatches to the effect that the entire winter wheat crop was a failure in Platte 1 county. Diligent inquiries of relia ble farmers show that while there is , an absolute failure in certain locali ties not to exceed 45 per cent of the ! winter wheat crop of Platte county will be lost unless further disaster ' should come to it.

A trip of at>out four hundred nrles overland through Nebraska, says a Creighton dispatch, revealed the fact that winter wheat is almost an abso lute failure.

COMMISS'ONER IVANS RESPONDS. Work of the Depart nirnt Explained In All It* Detail* — Employe* t inier Civil Sorvloe Hole*—Motln* Operamll of Obtaining Pet.*l»n*—Fee* of Attorney* and Hating for IMialillltle*. Senator M. Le Hayward has received a lengthy communication from Com missioner H. Clay Evans of the pen sion bureau at Washington concern lg tha work of the pension depart ment, the people employed there and the manner in which the pension claims are handled. The commission er explains in detail the work of the department and gives much informa tion of value to Grand Army men. Tht Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Republic will have the letter published In the official or tan and distributed among all the old sol diers in the state. Commissioner Evans tells first of the people em ployed In the bureau. There are 1,741 employes in the de partment of which 566 are ex-union soldiers, and of this number 452 are drawing pensions in addition to the salaries. The board of review as now organized is comprised of one chief, two assistant chiefs, five ch‘efs of sections and 110 reviewers, ine chief of the board is Colonel F. D. Stephenson, who served during the entire war of the rebellion as captain In the Forty-eighth Illinois and lr.ter aa colonel in the One Hundred and Fifty-second Illinois infantry- He vas severely wounded and is a pensioner for that reason. Of the 110 reviewers seventy are ex-unlon soldiers. A large proportion of the men employed on the board of review have been con nected with the pension department In different capacities for from twenty to thirty-five years. The medical division, whose work is to settle all medical questions, es pecially rates of pension, consists of a medical referee, an assistant medi cal referee, two qualified surgeons, two principal examiners and forty three medical examiners. The b_,ard or review In connection with the med loal division is charged with the ad judication aDd settlement of all claims and their action is generally final on all questions involved. The com missioner does not see one In a hun dred of the claims that receive the at tention of the legal and medical boards. During the first nine months of the present fiscal year 61,000 pension cer tifleates have been issued, divided as follows: Original under the general law, 4,594; original under the act of 1890, 22,227; Increase and reissue, 9, 747; restoration and renewal, 1,157; under the act of 1890, increase and reissue, 10,685; restoration and re newal, 1,656; accrued pensions, 8,661; duplicates, 2,902. All of the employes of the pension department are under the protection of the civil service law' A majority of them are known to be republicans. There are about 324 employes who are known to be democrats. Commissioner Evans adds the fol lowing additional information hear ing upon the subject of Senator Hay ward’s letter of inquiry. You are no doubt aware of the fact that order No. 164, which was promul gated October 15, 1890, was substanti ally revoked by Assistant Secretary Bussey on January 7, 1893, in very positive terms. Under this order ail disabilities under the act of 1890 were rated the same as those of service ori gin. Your attention is also invited to the act of 1890 with reference to claims of widows, which grants pensions only to those 'who are without other means of support than their manual labor.’ In cases of invalid claimants it is held by the department that disabilities under the act of 1890 are placed by that act upon a different basis for rat ing than those under the general 'aw. Under the general law disabili ies are pensionable without regard to capacity to ourn support and are graded without reference to this con dition, while disabilities under the act of 1890 are only pensionable when Incapacity to labor joins with inca pacity to earn a support, and the grades of rating are dependent noon these two conditions. The bureau has been extensively criticised for ad hering to this rule, hut as my func tions are confined strictly to the xe cutlon of the law as I find it 1 am powerless to grant relief in c'ses that do not come within the rule. "It Is very evident that upon a careful examination of the act of June 37, 1890. that it creates condi tions which are not applicable to claims under the general law and that very much of the misapprehension and dissatisfaction with the opera tlons of this bureau arise from a want of understanding as to those condi tions "Thus, a soldier is entitled Older the general law to It? per month for the lists of an eye. but under the a t of June 37, I *!»o, he receive* only |>t per month, aa It does not tneap.ic tale him front earning eohaistrnce hy manual labor "Ho In a rate of dr,if news A std th>r who la suffering from a degree of deaf nesa entitling hint under the general law to I to or (IS per month, has no pensionable status under the a< t «■! I sett, aa the alight dvgree of deaf net* in question lines not incapacitate him from earning a support by manual in b-*r A widow la pensioned under the general taw regardless of her pw»s •litas, while trader ih» s.t of i«hi im employment of aa Income In excess d the amount eh* would receive as pea #!><• la a bar U* pension under the «ri Now. when them different utsdiiitwi arise la the name neighborhood net* pie seldom stop to inquire as to ih. law nnder which application is mads and when a claim u allowed w|J#» l the general law at a high rate f. r a degree at deafness which dues not sn lltle la a re'tag under the a** >a« J it necessarily results in criticism of \ the commissioner. And when a widow I who is in affluent circumstances H granted a pension under the general law, while a claimant not nearly so well off is denied a pension under the new law, because she is not without other means of support than her daily labor, it seems to the public to be an unjust discrimination on the part of this bureau. Yet the law creates the«e conditions and It is not within our power to do otherwise than exe-ute the law as construed by the depart ment. but in nearly ail these cases the pension office gets the blame when it atempts to carry out the law as it exists. "The disability which entitles to the maximum pension ($12 per month) under the new law is substantially the same as would entitle to a pension of $30 per month under the old law. Yet w’e And that under the old law only 51,691 soldiers are pensioned at $30 per month, while under the new law 163.367 are drawing the maximum rate of $12 per month. Under the old law only 47,657 soldiers receive $12 per month. As an index to the growth of the work of the bureau it may be stated that during the fiscal year 1896 there were 2,162,581 pieces of mall received and sent. For the year 1897 there were 5.056,789 and for the year 1898 there were 6,566,967, being more than 300 per cent over the year 1896. "During President Grant's first term from 1869 to 1872, there were allowed in all 71,462 claims, and during his second term there were allowed 47, 359 claims, and during President Hayes' term, from 1877 to 1880, 39, 945 claims were allowed. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, 52. 684 original claims were allowed. It will be seen that the number of al lowances for the year 1898 was great er than the number of allowances for the entire four years of President Grant’s second term and the entire administration of President Hayes* "The commissioner, both deputy commissioners, the medical referee, chief of the board of review and nine of the chiefs of division and mos'„ of the other clerks who fill the important places in the bureau are all ex-un Ion soldiers, and as you well know the entire organization of the bur?au is controlled by men who served the "soldiers bureau’ and In all masters pertaining to the organization of the different divisions, in appointments and promotions, the ex-union so'dier always has the preference. The dif ferent commanders of the department of the Grand Army of the Republic have all commended the pension bu reau for its faithful observance of the statute which gives preference to the soldiers of the rebellion." In another letter received by Sen ator Hayward the commissioner of pensions has the following to say con cerning the fee charged by attorneys for securing pensions. "Under what is known as the gen eral law the attorney gets a fee of *25. Under the act of 1890 his fee is only $10. It has got to be quite a custom with attorneys to file a claim under the act of 1890, get the pension allow ed under that law and then fil<» a claim under the general laws, so they will get two fees. 1 had a case, for instance, the other day reinstating a man who enlisted in the war with Spain. He was drawing a pension under the act of 1890 at $10—he had formerly draw-n a pension for slight disability under the general law at $0 —be fell Into the hands of an attorney and made application for reinstate ment under the general law and tneu filed a claim for disability Incurred in the war with Spain, which w-as the same as he was pensioned for under the act of 1890. This would have giv en the attorney two fees, but it would not have given the man the $10 pen sion that he was drawing when he enlisted.” Smothered In a Hmlger Hole. 'mm Greeley center dispatch: Yester (lay evening between 4 and 6 o’clock John Gannon, the 17-year-old son of Thomas Gannon, residing near this town, went out Into the field about a quarter of a mile from the h ruse to dig out a badger that was supposed to be In his hole, taking with him >wo large dogs.

MANILA, May 29.—Special to the | New York World: General Otis says, i contradicting the g« neral impression, that the campaign against the Fill plno insurgents will be prosecucod by the American forces with the utraoit aggressiveness possible during the rainy season. General Ihiwton is convinced that an early settlement of the troubles and close of hostilities depends on the Americans giving thorough protection to the working classes in their p°ace ful occupations, while waging inces sant war against the armed forces of the enemy from this time forth, by means of guerrilla warfare. “We will show the insurgents by vigorous ac tion on the rivers, lakes and moun tains," he says, "that their belief that we cannot campaign in the rainy sea son or in the mountains is un*rue. Later it is possible that the changing conditions may demand garrisoning by districts so that it will be safe fo. the investment of capital and the pros ecution of industries until American! are completely dominant.” Quick transportation of the cavalry and the pack mules is desirable as a means of rounding up the insurgents. The cable ship Recorder, while pick ing up the cable between the islands of Negros and Cebut, went to the town of Escalante on the former island. She landed a party in her launch, con sisting of the commander, second of ficer and several of the crew, and also Captain Tilly of the signal corps, who was present aboard the ship to observo the cable operations. A flag of truce had been hoisted by the rebels, who waited until ♦he party had landed, and then treacher ously poured a murderous volley upon them. Captain Tilly and one of the men at once threw themselves into the water. The commander of the Recorder, run ning a great risk, managed to reacn the launch and put off from the buna to save it from being captured by the rebels Meanwhile a rain of bullets was fait ing all around the fugitives. The sec ond mate was picked up by the launch Just as he was sinking, but was alive. He said that the last he saw of Captain Tilly the later was swimming fee,bly by his side. The steamer was far out from shore, but those on board could see that the other Malay seamen were caught by the rebels and flogged and then cut to pieces. The ship returned to Iloilo, stopped, and within an hour troops were dis patched to the scene of the attacit. An Associated Press dispatch from Manila says: The approach of the wet season finds the insurrection tak ing a new lease of life. All along the American lines the rebels are showing more aggressive ac tivity in their guerrilla style than at any time before since the fall of Ma lolos. They keep the United States troops in the trenches, sleeping in their clothing and constantly on the alert against dashes on our outposts, and they make life warm for the American garrisons in the towns. the bands of General Luna and Gen eral Mascardo, which retreated toward Tarlac when they feared they would be caught between General MacArthur and General Lawton, have returned In force to their old trenches around San Fernando, where there are dally col lisions. Opposite our lines on the south, pro tecting Manila, all the way around to San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos aave three rows of trenches most of tl ) distance. Reports from prisoners indicate that the insurgents construe the peace ne gotiations to mean that the Americans have had enough of fighting (HATH IN I tit WIND.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAIL DWhg! rftim KfMUltN of a Washout on an Iona Kallroml. CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Mav 29.—The worst wreck In the history of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railway occurred at 1.23 yesterday morning, when train No. 5, the Chica go and Minneapolis train, ran into a washout two miles north of Wash burn. The entire train was wrecked, nine people were killed, seven of them almost Instantly, and about twenty injured, twelve of them badly. The greatest casualties occurred in the first sleeper. The third coach tel escoped this car, the floor of the coach passing through the sleeper Just about on a level with the lower berths in the sleeper when they were made up. The passengers in the sleeper were nearly all caught and crushed to death almost instantly. One man was killed so quickly that he died with a smile on his lips. It was necessary to chop nearly all out of this car. The most terrible incident of the wreck was the manner in which Will iam Scholian of Waterloo suffered. He was caught In the sleeper and pinned down so that escape was impossible, one arm being pinioned so solidly that it was impossible to release him. The passengers worked with all their might to release him, but without avail. In the meantime the water was ris ing up around him, and in a short time the unfortunate man must drown like a rat in a cage. He begged those about him to cut his arm off. There was not a physician on the train, and all hesitated to do anything. Finally an old saw was secured and his arm was sawed off. It was a horrible and sickening sight, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the operation was per formed. Scholian never utterd a word, but the strain was too great, and be died shortly after being taken to his home In Waterloo. The track has been repaired and trains are once more run over it. The Northwestern has all its trains tied up in this city. There is a bad washout between Watkins and Blairs town, and it is impossible to run trains over it. The Milwaukee agreed to take the trains around by the way of Marion over the main line to Tama, but its track is in bad shape near Vin ing and the road was compelled to rescind the order. The list of dead is as follows: E. L. Arnold, lumberman, Minneapolis, Minn.; W. A. McLaughlin, Muskegon, Mich.; R. H. Schwette, Alton, 111.; David Hallo, Minneapolis; F. S. Car penter, St. Louis; -Hawkins, Pull man conductor; George Wainwright, train conductor; Will Scholian of Wat erloo; one unknown person. Among the injured were: S. E.

C., May 29.—The war department today made public the following dispatch from General Otis commanding at Manila : MANILA. May 28.—Two battaliona of the Twenty-third infantry are in the quiet possession of Jolo. The Spanish troops have withdrawn from Zamboanga after a battle with the in surgents, with severe loss to the 'al ter. The Spanish loss is nine killed and twenty-seven wounded, among whom was Commanding General Mon tero, who died from his wounds and was buried here yesterday. The in surgents used the rifles, artillery and ammunition captured from the gun boats, expending the major part of the ammunition. A conference followed between General Rios, who went from Manila to withdraw the troops, and insurgents. The latter stated to him that he w-otild not oppose the landing of Americans, but would accept the conditions in Luzon- The Spanish troops withdrawn are now here and will depart for Spain tomorrow. A feeble attack by the insurgents on the inhabitants of the southeast por tion of Negros necessitated the sending of a battalion of troops from Manila there. They will soon restore order. Insurgent falsehoods circulated in the southern islands of overwhelming in surgent victories in Luzon keep up an excitement In that section among the more Ignorant classes, although the in telligent people know' that American arms have never n.et a reverse and I they call for I'nlted States protection.
