Creigh of Omaha was last week elected commander of the Ne braska branch of the Grand Army of the Republic. . The Burlington road is again send ing out passes to doctors over its territory, holding it is not a violation of the anti-pass law. The Ord Quiz thinks State Supt. McBrien has handed the town a lemon in the matter of securing one of the junior normals. The Taft-Foraker light in Ohio is warming up in good shape, with Taft a few laps in the lead, but Foraker not in the least winded. Wheat is soaring skyward and it is expected to reach a $1.25 limit before it stops. The green bug and beastlj weather so far is accountable for the bulge. A. B. Allen, former Gov. Mickey's private secretary, has been appointed state oil inspector. Good. Sheldon couldn’t have made a better selection had he looked the state over. Nearly a half million in India have succumbed to the dreaded plague in the past six weeks. There seems bo be a race for death loetween the stai vation in China and the plague in India. While Omaha is trying to rid the municipality of undesirable citizens, why does it not include Tom Denni son and Pat Crowe on the list? They are about as undesirable as any we ever heard of. But then Omaha seems stuck on that kind of people. What do you think of this? Ex Senator W. V. Allen is busy fighting the saloons at his home in Madison, this state. He tried to knock out whiskey for years by trying to down all in sight, but evidently realizing the fruitlessness of this way, is evi dently on the water wagon trying a pew tack. Hon. E. H. Conger, formerly U. S. minister to China, during the Boyer rebellion, died last Saturday at his home in Pasadena, Calif. He was one of nature’s noblemen, and in his death this country loses one of its grandest men. Mr. Conger and the editor’s father were warmest friends for years and now both of these grand good men have gone to their reward, after doing untold good during the long years of their lives. to in by Decoration Day Program.

Semon by Beg G ' _i Damage by Green Bug. Forty grain men from Chicago, Mil waukee and Omaha visited the wheat fields in Southern Nebraska and Northern Kansas last week, return ing to Omaha Monday of this week and their investigation do not inspire hope for even half an average crop in Kansas on account of the ravages made by the green bug. ♦ W. C. Sunderland, of the Sunder land Grain Company, a member of the inspecting party: interviewed by an Omaha Bee reporter, said: “We stopped as often as possible for examination of the fields in Southern Nebraska Saturday afternoon and found green bugs in every field, but they had not begun to damage the crop to any extent. WTe went through Sumner, Reno, Kiowa, Sedgwick, Pratt, Ford, McPherson, Republic, Washington, Clyde and Cloupe’ coun ties of Kansas Sunday and found that the damage by drouth and green bugs was extensive. The damage was par ticularly noticeable in Sumner, Sedg wick and Reno counties, but the Ne braska crops are practically uninjured as yet, although the result of the appearance of the green bugs in the Nebraska fields is still problematical. If the bugs attack the wheat in the Nebraska fields as they did those in Kansas, the outlook for the crops in this state is very gloomy. “The crop of oats in Kansas is practically ruined and the corn is in bad shape as that planted has not yet made its appearance above ground.” Prospects for a good crop in Ne braska appear to be good at the present time, according to the opinion of a majority of the grain men who went on the excursion. Green bugs were said to be in every wheat field in southern Nebraska, haring come from the Kansas fields, but had in flicted no damage. #50 Reward Offered.
