The booze and anti-booze war at

every other question in that village.

The Taft-Foraker light in Ohio is
warming up in good shape, with Taft

Wheat is soaring skyward and it is
expected to reach a $1.25 limit before

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,

whiskey for years by trying to down
all in sight, but evidently realizing
the fruitlessness of this way, is evi

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.

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.
