How to Select Crop Specimens lor the AVorld'K Fair. LINCOLNNeb. . . July 25. The fol lowing , communications are of impor tance to western farmers as indicating the best manner of selecting specimens of this year's crops for exhibition at the world's fair. It is the result of careful investigation by those particu larly qualified to discuss the subject. The last legislature made an appro priation of $50,000 to gather and dis play Nebraska products at the world's Columbian exposition to be held at Chicago in IS'Jo , and the pride of the state depending upon the united action of the agriculturalists in securing and preserving for that exhibit the best and most perfect of our cereal produc tions , I deem it important that the farmers be requested through the me dium of the press of the state to gath er specimens from the crops now ready for harvest as an assurance of their pride and interest in presenting to the world the products of our soil at that exposition. This effort may cost time and labor , but it seems to me that it is the sure way to demonstrate to the world the fertility of our soil and com pete successfully with our sister cereal producing states. If reports can be credited that come from ail parts of the state , we have the.most abundant crop of all kinds of grain ever produced on Nebraska soil. Many farmers are confident that their wheat will yield from twenty-live to forty , barley forty to seventy-five and oats fifty and seventy-five bushels per acre. Shall we improve this crop year to fortify ourselves against the compe tition of the largest display of cereal products ever gathered under one roof in the history of the world ? We must make an effort to preserve from this crop a sample of the best variety and most perfect grain the pro ducts of our soil , if only to verify the statement , so often made , that our state tiiity. A. G. SCOTT. Hon. A. G. Scott has written a letter concerning the great lair of 1893 , and makes some valuable and timely sug gestions. Fully endorsing Mr. Scott's words , I would like to remark that now is the time to gather small grain sam ples in the straw. It , is an easy mat ter to show threshed grain in a meas ure , but the person looking at it has no conception of the plant that pro duced the grain. Nebraska wants to place on exhibition at the world's fail- in Chicago in 1893 , car loads of her small grain as seen in the field , when the self-binder harvests the grain. Now is the time to prepare for this grand exhibit , and 1 suggest that every enterprising farmer in the state pre pare a bundle of each kind grown by him. Select the best and pull up carefully by the roots , taking pains not to breaker or crack the stalk. Make the bundles or sheaves not less than four inches in diameter. When firmly tied , tie the sheaf in the middle close to the heads and close , not over six inches , from the roots , always tying with a soft string. Hang up by the roots in a dark room where no mice , rats or chickens can get at it. If every farmer in Nebraska will prepare a sheaf as above described of each kind of grain produced by him and take good care of it and the same is carefully collected and kept in go.od order , one of the grandest object lessons , showing the capacity of Nebraska's rich soil can be made at the world's fair. 1 would sug gest that some one be appointed to take charge of the collection and pre servation of samples of grain of all kinds. f i-ont. rviivmncf. lu > r vm'i icn < i in handling of these sheaves , and some suitable place should be provided where they could be stored until the time comes to place the same on exhibition. The grain grown next season will not be in time to be placed on exhibition at Chicago. Now is the time , and 1 urge every farmer in Nebraska to pre pare a bundle each of rye , oats , bar ley , millet. Has , sorghum , clover , tim othy and corn on the stalk. Some one will have to take charge of these col lections in each county. I would sug gest that some of the county ollicers would be the proper persons to receive the county contributions , take care of them and hold them subject to the or der of some person or nersons author ized to collect them for the state. 1 would ask every newspaper pub lished in the state to publish the fore going and that they all editorially urge the farmers of their counties to furn ish samples of the great cereals grown in this state. Let ever } ' sample be tagged with the name of the producer , county , section , town and range where grown. L. W. GII.CHKIST.

Josin'H , Mo. , July 2-1. Sher man Ilarter. a robust man of 27 years and a giant in stature , died : it the city prison this morning in terrible agony from hydrophobia. He was bitten over the eye two years ago while play ing with a kitten and suffered no trou ble from it until last Sunday morning , when he felt a pain near the old wound. At the sight of water he was seixed with convulsions. Yesterday he was taken to the hospital and shortly after wards there ensued an awful struggle between him and live attendants. He was strapped to the bed , but not until ho had almost killed two men. Later he was removed to the city prison for greater safety and after a night of awful agony died of convulsions. rover Up Tliclr Ij"r * . OCEAN GKOVK , X. J. , July 2-1. The hundreds of women and children in bathing suits who walked down to Lilligore's pavilion , for their daily baths yesterday were met with a re markable rebuff. At this pavilion was a policeman who refused to allow them to go into the surf until they had gone home and secured wraps to hide their legs. Even little boys and girls were included in the order. If they had a covering around their shoulders they were allowed to pass the sentry , but otherwise they could enjoy no swim. During the day signs were posted up on the pavilion to the cfl'eet that all persons found walking through the streets t without proper covering or wearing bathing apparel would be ar rested and lined $5 or imprisoned live days in the county jail. The dresses of the bathers at Ocean Grove are and always have been more than modest , and the order that they must walk through the streets clad in a heavy cloak or a gossamer is being most bitterly received. The order is signed by President Stokes , and he asks all policemen and watchmen to enforce the rules. Wood' * Slayer Held Tor .Hurder. HUGOTOX , Kan. , July 27. The pre liminary examination in the case of the state vs. James Brennan , charged with the murder of Col. S. N. Wood at Hu- goton on June 23 , was held before Justice of the Peace Davis and two as sociate justices , "Win. L. Glover and R. L. MeKenzie. J. W. Ives , attorney general , and William O'Connor , coun ty attorney , appeared for the state. The defendant was represented by J. II. Pilzcr. Long before the hour set for trial there was a large crowd gathered. At 11 o'clock Mrs. W. L. Wood , wife of deceased , and quite a number ofvit - nc ses and friends from Woodsdale drove up. Court was held in a large hall in the public school building and which was filled to its utmost capacity. Dr. C. L. Abnather , coroner of Ste vens county , wasjexamined , after which Mrs. Wood testified , followed by Mrs. 11. J. Carpenter , both of whom slated that the defendant stood in the church door for some time while they sat in a buggy six feet south of the door , wait ing for Col. Wood to come out of the court room ; that after passing Brennan and almobt reaching the buggy de fendant shot him in the back ; that Mr. Wood threw up both hands and started to run west pursued by Brennan , who lired the second Miot near the south west corner of the building ; that Wood turned the corner , running north to the northwest corner , where he was overtaken by Brennan , and on turning to look back Brennan thrust the pistol in his face and fired , the third thot passing through his head" ; that Wood fell unconscious and expired in twenty minutes. No evidence was introduced by de fendant and no attempt was made by the state to connect an } ' other party or parties with the killing. Constable Aurell had a heavv < rnard to protect the prisoners , while Sheriff Cann had his men posted in every con ceivable place , prepared to suppress any unlawful breaks by the friends of either party. Good order prevailed in the court room and on the streets. Both parties seemed to be entirely sat isfied with the proceedings. The prisoner was remanded to the Reno county jail without bail to await his trial for murder in the first degree. Ilputricc Latsd WASHINGTON , July 25. The secre tary of the interior decided today , an j old case from the Beatrice land dis trict , Albert M. Flemming against Frank E. Bowe. In 1879 Bo we. then a boy of thirteen years , made a settle ment upon land in the Otoc and Mis souri Indian reservation. Under the law of the reservation he was not com pelled to live upon the land and in a short time he sold the tract. Jt was afterwards claimed that he had aban doned and several older counts were made asrainst him. and once the cae was decided against him but was brought up on review. The secretary now directs the commissioner to exam ine the case and if it can be patented under the act of March : > , 1891 , to award it to Bowe. The land is near Beatrice and has become very valua ble. The father of Bowe also has a case which this decision is expected to effect in a like favorable manner. Both houses of the Argentine con gress have voted a reduction in the duties on petroleum and rice. In a trivial quarrel at Marshall , 111. .

Manley , of Augusta , Me. , in re sponse to a letter written by him on the 18th. The tubjects of inquiry on the part of Mr. Gavett were the health of Secretary Blaine and his attituuo affecting the earnest desire of the mul titude of his admirers in the republi can party that he become its standard bearer in 1892. The replies are espe cially significant when it is remem bered that Mr. Manley has for years been a warm persoaal friend and the political confident and advisor of the bccretary. In effect Mr. Manley as serts that Mr. Blaine is almost fully recovered and that he will return to Washington in the fall with all his vigor and strength of both mind and body. He further states that Mr. Blaine cannot become a candidate for the republican nomination , but that in his opinion if the republican party wants him for a standard bearer in 1892 , all it has to do is to nominate him and that he will accent. To Hold for Hiirhi-r I'riiT * . WASHINGTON , July 2-1. Mr. II. W. Aver , secretary to President Polk of the farmers' alliance and manager in this city of the reform press bureau , which is also known as the "alliance press bureau , " ' said this afternoon that the work of sending out circulars de signed to fehow the farmers of the country that it was to their advantage to hold back the wheat crop , was ac tively proceeding in this city as well as in St. Paul because of its location in the great wheat belt. Mr. Aver said that there have been 400,000 of these circulars sent out from Washington and during the next few days an avcr- Jirrii nf I/Ml (1(1(1 ( ( ; ii iv w'Ul 1i Tiifjilon until more than a million of the circu lars altogether are issued. The circu lars , he said , will also be published in about two thousand weekly papers with which the bureau is connected. He remarked that he need not say of course that it was the circu lar which had brought about the re sult , but he had noticed in a recent } market report that as a matter of fact ] the actual movement of wheat was 140 car loads less than had been estimated. Mr. Ayer said the information that the issue of such a circulation by alliance men was in contemplation became pub lic prematurely about two wee.cs ago , when a circular in course of prepara- lion was published in a newspaper. A final decision to issue the circular had : ' not at that time been made and many leading alliance men were unaware of it , but it has since been determined on. He explained that the executive , committee of the alliance had not acted ' on this matter and that by the circular - \ lar no order was given to alliance men ' to hold back their crop , that being | contrary to the methods of the alii- j ancc. What is done by this circular ' is 10 give the farmers information as to facts in regard to the n oral's wheat crop , with the suggestion that wheat some weeks later than the present j lime would bring a higher nrice. PIZOKM. 111. . July 24. Lewis E. Riettcrman of this city , who has just j returned from Chicago , has in his possession - j session the proof of one of the most interesting cases known in surgical history. He was one of the passen- gero on the ill-fated Niagara Fails excursion - I cursion which went down to such ter rible destruction at Chatsworth. He was in the last coach , ' leaning on his hanus in an open wmuow wnen the crash came. Nearly everybody in the car was injured and several men were killed outright. Rieiterman's face was badly cut and bruised ana he was unconscious - conscious for several hours. His face was sewed up and healed lapichy. Since then he has suffered constant pains in the head , but local physicians attributed it to the --hock of tne wrecic and treated him accordingly. t Last November , while blowing his nose vigorously , he blew out a wire nail Ijj inches long , badly rusted. He and his friends were cor.tident that his trouble was at an end when the naii was dislodged , but he still suffered a dull pain in his head. In June he went to Chicago and was examined by the staff surgeon at Ru = h medical col lege. The physician found a foreign body in Ilietterman's head at the inside corner of the left eye. and in the pres ence of a room full of surgeons cut the patient's face. Imbedded in the head , back of the nose , was found an irregular - | lar piece of oak li inches long , j inch ' thick and J inch wide.Tnis fragment of the window sill had been carried in his head for four years. The naint had been absorbed by his blood. The case was reported to ail the leading doctors in Chicago and is pronounced one of the most remarkable in history. Had nia.ii from tlu > AV > t.
