A. liMiourajliiK Crop Outlook.
6iiU\CiY ) , August 11. [ Special to TH
- BKI : . ] Kclinolo actvic.cs regarding the cond
tlc-n ot tV- crops In norClmf stcrn Iowa an
southern Dakota give u very diaC.T-Ut pli
turo fioin that drawn by the roseate report
Which arc current in the cast. The slmpl
truth is that the favorable reports regurdin
these two sections have been greatly ovei
drawn or have been rendered obsolete durin
the past week.
In many of the Important crops there is
Cloomy outlook ou both the regions
Wheat and nil grains In northwestern Iowa
will yield IPS than one third of an overuse
crop. In ninny counties , us in Woodbury ,
Plymouth mid Cherokee , rust has severely
attacked wheat and oats and probably not
more than one-half the Holds will be cut and
the grain ttiicshed out. Many of the farm-
crs will cut oats only for rough-
feed for tttock. The Holds that
will bo harvested will not produce more than
the fraction of a cron. liven tlio Holds of
grain which otherwise promised fairly , are
now twisted and tangled by the "torms of
tlio past few days so that there must bo in
any event great loss In the yield.
Tnis is the real situation , and it obtains to
n greater or less extent up to the Minnesota
state line , or through the intervening thrco
tleri of counties between Sioux City and that
line.
Passing to southern Dakota there are nu
merous considerable iicctions in which tlio
Ramo situation exists. It is even worse In
those sections than In northwestern Iowa ,
because more wheat and grain are raised in
the former than in the laltor. Many Dakota
farmers , too , are poor and in debt and had
high hopoi of nbtindi'iit crops. The corn ,
which is the least damaged of any crop , is
seriously injured in many localities
In both fouUiiTii Dakota and iiorth-
wpstern lov.-n. Hail and high
wind storms , which have played havoc In the
green Holds , have also blown down and
broken the rorn. Corn was not in good
bh'ipe to resist the wind , brrauao the into
spring wivi followed by hot weather and
rrijiu'iit light slinwerd. Tliuio r.ium'd the
roots to spread nc'ir to the surface , Instead
: jf striking dcnp as usual , HO that , it did not
require u heavy wind to prostrate it. In the
trn-k of some of tjio storms of the past week
gn-at Jlelda of corn have thus been levelled
to the wound.
Wet and cold woathf-r has ensued and con
tinues. CTTII is niaturin" very slowly. Tlio
crop was two weeks lakto begin with. All
these thing' ) iMihunu * the peril from frost.
Th" past \Ccuk or ten days , therefore , lias
_ mt an entirely new ami less auspicious face
on tlio crop outlook in tills section. Heforo
that harm it was exceedingly bright. Even
ow it Is not to bo undpr.stood Unit disaster is
Impuidmv' , but onl.v thai the rcpurU which
re ciinvnt at a distance based on the condi
tions of a week JUTO are to bo taken with
iii.inj bei'ious deductions.

FncMoxT , Neb. , August 12. [ Special to
Tin : Br.n.l Notwithstanding the unpropitious -
ous weather since tlio opening of the Metho
dist Episcopal camp meetings here , tlio meet
ings have been continued , except when ruin
ing , with profit und pleasure. To-day the at
tendance has been nt leait 1,000 persons , nnd
the sermons and addresses have been of re
markable interest. The first exercise after
breakfast was n sermon preached by Hov.
Savidge , of Omaha. It was full of power
and convincing logic , und the epigrammatic
expressions for which tlio speaker is celebra
ted. The main services of the day were held
from 10:1)0 : ) until 1 o'clock. At the beginning
of these over $300 was raised as a fund for
defraying the expenses of the meetings. The
sci nion was preached by tlio Hov. Dr. Creigli-
ton , of Lincoln. Ho preached from the text :
"Forasmuch as ye know ye are not re
deemed by coiruptiblo tilings , but by tlio
precious blood of Christ. " The ecu-
tail thought of his tliomo was "the
Lamb of oed us an atonement for sin. "
His discourse was a masterly presentation
ot the bubjcct of redemption and Christ's
part in the divine plan of saving the world.
Ho showed that God's plan was to create the
race not as machines , fo.1 then there could
not huvo been any virtue or any \ ice , ami
consequently no independence or responsi
bility on tlio part of man. Ho put man in a
moral world in u condition of absolute equi
poise in the mutter of choosing to do good ot
evil. Hut before the creation ho planned to
have such of the race as chose to do evil
by offering his son as n propitiation for sin ,
thus revealing his great love even for those
who violated the will of God. His sermon
was one of the clearest ami most forcible
over delivered iu Fremont.
Mrs. Harrison , soloist in the Methodist
church of this city , sang with great sweet
ness "My Jesus I Love Tlico , " and "The
Mistakes of My Lifo Huvo Been Many. "

WIIITK CIAY Ciuii : : ; , Nob. , August 11.
To the Editor of Tin : Hin : : I notice
In tlio Omaha Herald of the Oth instant
un article headed "Cleveland and the Old
Soldiers. " It goes on to inform those
old soldiers about nil the good things that the
boys in blue have received from Mr. Cleve
land and the democratic party in the way of
pensions. Now these soldiers are not such
fools or so dull us the copperhead Herald
would have them to bo. The Herald tolls tho'
old soldiers and the people ut largo of tlie great
number of pension bills that Mr. Cleveland
approved , but it takes good care not to speak
about the great number of vetoes. The Omaha
Herald is no friend to the old soldier. It is only
one year ago when tbo Herald pounded the
old soldiers on the back because they refused
to mat ch in front of Mr. Cleveland at the
national encampment , und two years ngo the
sumo Herald patted Mr. Cleveland on the
back and culled him brave because ho vetoed
the dependent pension bill , mid ut the same
time it abused the old soldiers by calling
them all kind of names. This the old soldiers
of Nebraska know. It is no use for the Her
ald to try and make the old soldiers believe
that the democratic party is their friend.
Tlio United States senate passed a general
pension bill at tills se'slon ofvcongress. That
bill has been in thojiouso for some time , and
no lepunlican member dnro say one word
about culling it bp. If lie should some brigu !
dier will Jump up nud atop it. Now the old
soldiers don't propose to let the brigadiers
run this country any longer than next No
vember. The old soldiers ore going to put
men in ofilcc who will respect that dear oh'
Hag that they fought for and saved. When
next November conies the editor of the Her

A gentleman who arrived from Columbus
to-day suys he saw Judge Thurmau at a bar
in the capital of Ohio yesterday taking a
drink. Tlio Judge ordered a gin cocktail and
us ho was quailing it down the gentleman ob
served :
"I see you have changed your drink ,
Judge. "
"Yes , " replied Mr. Tliurman , "I don't
drink whisky any more. Tlio doctor advised
mo to quit it. 1 had como to the conclusion
that it was hurting my kidneys , und so I
changed off to ( rin. "
"How about jour letter of acceptance ! "
was asked.
"Oh , 1 bad that ready within four days
after I was nominated. "
"When will yon make it public ! "
"I presume , " replied the Judge , smiling ,
"that , as a matter of courtesy , I will hnvo to
hold it back till the head of the ticket gives
out his letter. "
Commenting upon tlio physical strength
and the plans of Judge Thurmnn , the geiitlo-
inuii quoted said : "I wus told the other day
by the Judge's family physician that tlio old
gentleman hud improved more In health since
ills nomination than for many years , and that
it was probable the nomination would save
his life , us it was forcing him to Hike exercise
und hud given him new hope. The fact is
Judge Tlinrmun wanted tlio nomination very
much after he found that he could get it , nnd
concluded to accept it. Tlio family was also
anxious for him to have Iho nomination , be
cause they thought it would stir him up und
prolong his existence. The Judge for years
had been leading a country life , and had
grown gouty und rheumatic , and hud ulmost
lost the use of his lower limbs. Up to a
year or two ago lie used to recline
on u great willow chair or lounge
in his library , witli n goblet

Among the distinguished men who attended
General Sheridan's funeral yesterday was
Colonel Grant of Now York. After the ser
vices were over and the colonel came down
town ho talked politics.
"I have never seen New York more thor
oughly stirred up than at present , " suid Col
onel Grant , "and the prospects uro tlio rc-
publicuus will uchiovo a great victory in No
vember. Prominent republicans till over the
state are confident that Harrison and Merion
will bo elected , while tlio dcMiiocrtits nru

every ono of the organisations. The Conk-
ling-Arthur faction Is at an end , and all
of the old lopublicans , ns well as the now
army of voters , uro for the ticket. The stal
warts in Now York put Mr. Cleveland in the
presidential chair by working , if not voting ,
iiguinstt Mr. Hlainc. Tlio troubles lire nil
healed now , aud they will support the noun-
natioiiH. 1 regard General Harrison us a
strong candidate as strong , if not the strong
est that could have been nominated. His
nomination is especially acceptable to the people
ple of New York , and they nro taking pride
ns well ns Intelcst in working for him since
the state brought about his nomination. Lcvl
P. Moi ton will draw immensely fiom the
democratic ranks. Tlieio is no man
in Now York state more popular
than ho. The workingmcn nro for
him as well ns the manufacturers nud busi
ness men. Ho is the friend of the poor
and hus proven himself to bo such by unos-
tentutious charity. I think the state is good
for 50,000 republican majority. Warner
Miller will draw largely from tlio ngriculural
interests. Mr. Hlaiuo will devote himself to
the stuto and will nrouso great enthusiasm
among tlio Irish nnd wage earners. Ho is
especially strong umonir among the Irish

evening. "Somo personal nnd jiolltical , but
i largo proportion to Good Lord knows who ,
in every state nnd territory. It is astonish
ing how letters will pour in upon a man after

legitimate correspondence lie can attend to
it , but it worries the life outof ono to bo
compelled to answer nil letters received , all
'erelgn to tlio work before ur. The liberal
advice given us to the proper manner of con
ducting the campaign Is simply marvellous.
Then one receives demands for money for
one cause and another. At the present time
; here must be n perfect boom In church
building , and aid Is called for for hospitals ,
colleges und homes of various kinds that are
in course of construction. Help is badly
needed and in many instances the demands
for money uro made with a degree of assur
ance which is decidedly refreshing If not
remarkable. Many of those calls are from
worthy pcoplo without doubt , while others
sharpers. It can hardly be expected because
areto say the Icast.questiomible , coming from

is one consolation , however I am pretty well
convinced that Mr. Cleveland Is petting his

slighted by any menus , und Mr. Morton can

Referring to the Port Huron mocMnijton

thrco minutes , on the second lloor of a house
on the Jamaica plunk road. Tlio llfiht was for
a purse of $100 und un outside stuko. It was
awarded to Clark on a foul.
About seventy-live sporting men witnessed
the fight. The contest was a most bitter one.
Grace did all the leading nnd was awarded
first blood in the llrst round. Ho smashed
the stomach of his adversary with his lolt
whenever ho pleased and used his right with
good results on the head. At the end of the
third round both men were very much weak
ened from hard lighting. Grace fouled in the
fourth round and w.is cautioned that upon a ,
repetition the light would bo given to Clark.
In the liftli and sixth rounds Grace hud it
all his own way , and the betting was $ . " > 0 to
$30 in his favor. Clark was ulmost done for
at the cull of time at the close of the sixth
round when Grace , \\lio bud evidently not

ClurK's corner nnd punched him. Clark's
second claimed a foul aud he was given the
light. The trainers and backers wrangled
over Iho referee's uecHiou und Flaherty , the

oixns , August 12. [ Special to Tim
Ur.i : . ] Cine of tlio most popular men in
! owa to day is lion. Frank Cutrpbell , mom-
jer of the bonrd of railroad commissioners.
The railroad attorneys aio agreed that in thq
rcccntexamiuatkm of Mr. Campbell in regard
; o the conduct of the board they cumo out o
: lie contest biidly di llguicd. Mr. CumpbeH
was only appointed this uprlng , but ho was
in the midst of the light in tlio days of tlib
Granger law , and knows nil about the tricks
mil schi'iiips of railroad cuppcrn. When
Solicitor Witlirow insolently asked Mr.
Campbell for his authority in regard to coi'-i
tain statements conccrnini ; the cost and net
iirolltB of the Keck Island , lie was coimldcr-
ibly taken aback when he was referred to
the sworn reports of its own officers. Mr.
Campbell coolly rc-iul out of the railroad re

and disclosed other iiiformi.tiou not at all

ward the couimlsuloiicrs is yet to bo devel
oped.
Affairs at present are in statu quo so far as
the legal poiiitn iiro concerned. Judge Fal-
rall of Iowa City 1ms not , \ct rendered hia
decision in regard to the roads wholly within
the state , and the appeal from Judge Hrew-
or's decision bus not been submitted to Judcru
Miller. The commissioners , however , con
tend that tlui rates cstublmhcd and published
by them on the'Jbth of June and below the
injunction was served are actually in force ,
ami to test tlio mutter a larto
number of suits have been commenced
by tlio attorney general nuuiimt ;
the roads that arc not obeying tlio schedule ,
for extortion. The penalty lor sticli olTpnso
is a tine of f. " > , r03. Fifty suits have olieiidy
been instituted and hundreds more await the
outcome of these cases. It looks us if the
railroads were going to tlnd hard sliding in
Iowa for the next few years.

All eyes arc tinned to the republican stale
convention , which will meet ono week from
next Wednesday. Will it endorse the ad
ministration of Governor Larrubeo and thq
recent anti-monopoly legislation , or puss tha
matter by in silence , mid conlinc its work
simply to an endorsement of the national
platfromi Swarms of railroad strikers iiro
everywhere ut work to pack the primaries ,
but so fur their success has not been very
brilliant. The business men , especially the
wholesale dealers and Jobbers , ns well ns the
farmers , are aroused , and have donned tha
war paint , mid are coming down to the state
convention in force.
Hut few county convcntionshavobeen held ,
but tlio opposition to Smith and Campbell
for railroad commissioners in the counties
that have spoken lias been snowed under ,
anil m several eases iron-ciad instructions ill
their favor have been adopted by good rounil
nia'oritics. In Page county Pete Hepburn
bobu up serenely at the head of the delega
tion , but his hands nro tied by strong in
structions for Smith and Campbell. In.
Mabasku , another county under strong rail
road influence , the advantages to the two
fuel ions appears to bo oven. It is the homo
of Judge Saovers , and will give him n strong
suppoit , but , being in the sumo congressional
district , it will not dine to oppose Commis
sioner Campbell. Owing to tlio vigorous op
position of the Cedar Uupids Gu/.olto und the
positive action of the business men and job
bers of that city , aided by tlio Alliance inllu-
ence , Judge Ilnbbard , the veteran lobbyist of
the Northwestern , seems to huvo lost hia grip
on Linn county and will likely hear somfr.
thing "drop , " when the county convention
meets , it looks now u.s if Hakcr is the only
man the railroads will bo able to defeat.
State Treasuier Twombly is almost
