General
PEKIN Aug 5 American and Eu
ropean residents assert that the de
meanor of the Pekin populace is con
stantly becoming more unfriendly and
that as the allied troops depart the
Chinese resume their old habits of
jostling and cursing foreigners in the
streets
The legation defenses are now ap
proaching completion Generally
speaking they consist of brick walls
from fifteen to twenty1 feet high and
from three to four feet thick loop
holed for rifles The ministers of the
powers ignored the plan for a uniform
system of defense submitted by the
generals and consequently the govern
ments are working independently It
is the policy oiLthe ministers to avoid
conspicuous work of defense lest
these should prove an irritant pro
voking instead of preventing hostil
ities Most of the engineers have rec
ommended stronger defenses than the
ministers will sanction Major Edgar
B Robertson of the Ninth infantry
who commands the United States lega
tion guard has written to Mr Rock
hill to protest against what he calls
the defenseless position of our lega

maintain a fortress but merely a wall
for protection against unexpected
mob violence The wall is made of
brick out of deference to Chinese

RICH HARVEST IN NEBRASKA
Stato Has Escaped Devastation aud Will
Hnvo a Good Crop
OMAHA Aug 5 Hot winds and
dry weather of July have been suc
ceeded by a cooler atmosphere and the
backbone of the drouth has been brok
en by good local showers in sections
of Nebraska where they did the great
est good to suffering crops
Estimates on corn at this time are
unreliable but basing last years yield
at 210000000 Dushels on an acreage
of 8000000 with present indications
and favorable weather to follow it
seems fair to anticipate at least a
good half crop or an average of near
ly twelve and one half bushels an
acre Estimates at this time are sub
ject to change and the one given is
conservative
The reduced crop will be materially
changed by the corresponding higher
price to be realized by the amount
yielded It must be remembered that
the corn producing belt of Nebraska is
confined to the extreme eastern and
northeastern part of the state
The Nebraska wheat crop escaped
the drouth as it was out of danger be
fore the hot winds made their appear
ance The increased acreage together
with the excellent yield per acre as
sures a harvest in bushels in excess of
last year
Perhaps the crop which has been
damaged more than any other by the
drouth is the potato crop Districts
heretofore yielding from 200 to 250
bushels per acre report yields this year
of from ten to fifty bushels only
The hay crop in the range districts
west and northwest will be far in ex
cess of any past season
The oats crop will be light The
yield per acre will be nominal in some
districts not to exceed ten bushels
per acre
Excellent crop reports come from
the irrigated districts in the state

ious to investigate as many cases as

confer a favor on the experiment sta
tion by reporting deaths immediately
by wire or telephone at our expense
and every effort will be made to give
