' Passes Over Portion of County , Doing Great Damage. Gregory Advocate : Last Friday morning Giegory county was visited by one of the worst rain and hall btorins that ever struck this territory. The storm cnmo between 4 and 5 o'clock with great force , accompanied by n great deal of thunder and light ning. The rain and lightning did little damage , but the hall destroyed hun dreds of dollars worth of property , es pecially small grain. A few farms were struck southeast of Gregory , Oscar Mlcheaux probably being the heaviest loser. However , the most damage was done between Burke and St. Charles. A strip varying from one to four miles wide and nearly fifteen miles In length was nearly wiped out bo far as the small grain Is concerned , and while the corn will In a measure levlve , It will yield barley half a crop. A great deal of damage was done In Herrlck by the hail. Hundreds of windows dews were shattered and the damage done to the town will reach to nearly $500. At Gregory the Krotter elevator was struck , only the roof being dam aged. . Very little other damage was done here. SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS. Reports From Over the State are Very Encouraging. Sioux Falls , S. D. , July 17. Crop prospects throughout South Dakota continue very encouraging. Rains have been frequent and well dis tributed over the state. In some limited localities there has been too much rnln and flat land has been flooded , to the Injury of crops , but In the state at large crops are in ex cellent condition. Unless something unforseen occurs , like a severe hurri cane of wide scope , the crop harvested In the state this year will be n very large one and may surpass the crops of all past seasons. Corn has attain ed a great growth and also promises to be an unusually big crop. Even were the crop acreage the same as last season , a larger amount of bind ing twine , from present prospects , will be required , owing to the rank growth of the stalks of grain , due to the abundant rains thus far during the growing season. As the small grain acreage has been very material ly Increased in the state this year , more than the usual amount of twine will be In demand , and for this reason the aggregate sales of twine for the season should greatly exceed those of any former year. REFUSES PARDON. Shrinks from Competition for Living and Is Made Guard of "Trusties. " Lincoln , July 17. Pardoning him Is , In no way going to get Convict Jake Frahm out of the state penitentiary. "Dutch Jake" was sent up from Deuer county fifteen years ago for murdering his wife. Ho made a model prisoner , nnd several times when the officers have suggested that they would help him get n pardon , he Informed them that he was well satisfied with his Job and that he didn't want out. Governor Shnllenberger thought this a little odd , and on the Fourth of July Included Jake as one of the two long term men who are entitled to freedom. Frahm refused to accept the pardon because he found that Inside the pris on walls his maintenance was assured , while outside of It he had never been able to make n living without the most grueling kind of hard workx The olHcials haye reached a compro mise. Jake has agreed to take the pardon nnd Warden Smith has agreed to give him a job as guard. Frahm " 'ill be put In charge of the trusties who are used to work In the new beet fields. Some apprehension Is felt by state house people that the precedent is an unsafe one , ns sooner or later , If good prisoners are rewarded by being set as guards over their late compan ions there will be a big delivery some day.

Nebraska's Corn 254,000,000 Bushels , Omaha , July 17. Estimates placed on Nebraska's corn crop this year , II It matures under conditions as favor able as those which have brought it tc its present state , place the figures at 254,000,000 bushels , an increase over , the government estimate of last year's | crojt of about 49,000,000 bushels. The same outlook for n largely Increased | crop IB true of all the other corn .rats' Ing states of the nation. The government crop report for the first time places the yield of the nation at 3,000,000,000 bushels , which prom ises an aggregate farm value any where between $1,500,000,000 , and ? 2- 000,000,000. Besides more corn this year there Is also promise of bettor corn and the cream of it will begin to pour Into Omaha along about the latter part of November to bo exhibited nt the an nual National Corn exhibition. While that Institution Is broadening Its field no as to stimulate the growth of bet ter crops in all the grains and grasses , it Isn't In any degree abating Its work along the lines of that crdp which Is the greatest of thorn nil. The acreage of corn has been In creased this year over 7 per cent , an actual Increase of 7,218,000 acres. The average and probable yield of the five big corn producing states of the union Is as follows for the present year : State. Acres. Probable Yield. Illinois 10,206.000 3HO.OOO.OOO bu. Iowa 9,310,000 300,000,000 bu. Nebraska . . .7,926,000 254,000,000 bu. Missouri . . . .8,145,000 250,000,000 bu. Texas 8,217,000 206,000,000 , bu. These states , together with the four which fall In the group of the next largest , Kansas , Oklahoma , Ohio and Indiana , are expected to produce nt least a third of the estimated 3,000- 000,000 bushel crop , or over 2,000,000- 000 bushels.

Mayor Friday hopes next year at : ils lime to find Not folk avenue paved rom First street to Seventh. And In- icatlons are that this hope will inn- erlallze. Another step toward the paving of ic business part of the avenue was aken afew days ago when the city otincll passed an ordinance creating sewer district on Norfolk avenue rom First street to Seventh. Bids for his new sewer , to replace the old sew- r now draining the street , will bo ad- ertlsed for In the very near future nd the work will bo finished this ummer. With this sewer out of the vay , the paving of Norfolk avenue vlll bo In order. Many property owners on Norfolk venue have been In favor of paving , ut have insisted that a suitable sewer ystem should be constructed under he street's surface before the paving vas undertaken , In order to save cut- Ing up the paving later when the sew- r should be built. This was the view nken by Mayor Friday and upon tak- ng his seat this spring he Immediate- y set about It to create a new sewer Istrlct along the street , this being ccompllshed by the ordinance Just assed. Property Owners Want It. The mayor believes that a very , reat majority of the property owners ilong the thoroughfare are now in fa- , -or of paving and that the matter of getting signers to a petition will be easily achieved. Property owners are more enttiusl- istic over paving now than nt any ime In the past , and sentiment may be said to be overwhelmingly In favor of this progressive step which , it Is eallzed , will increase property values materially. 'History shows that a city never be comes a real city until It begins to pave Its streets , " said N. A. Rainbolt he other day , "and I am anxious to see Norfolk avenue paved. " This sen- .iment Is expressed by a majority oi he property owners. Paving Will Spread. It Is likewise universally felt that ust as soon as Norfolk avenue Is paved , paving will spread over the en- ire city. It will bo like the spread ol the sewer , people declare , and will rapidly spread Into the residence sec tlons. Such men as Colonel S. S. Cotton and N. A. Rainbolt even now would be glad to see paving undertaken on Nor folk avenue and Koenlgsteln avenue n the residence sections. And there s a widespread sentiment favoring the paving of one street to Norfolk June tlon as quickly as possible. The new sewer to be built along Norfolk avenue will replace the ole system built in 1888 from Fifth street to the river. The new sewer will bo a part of the sewer system constructed a couple of years ago to the Elkhorn river , and will be permanent. The plan was laid out by the late Andrew Rosewater of Omaha. Mayor Friday favors 14-Inch pipes down Norfolk av enue instead of 12-inch , as the Rose water plans call for. MYSTERY NOT SOLVED. Examination of Mrs. Swenson's Stomach ach Finished. Vermlllion , S.
