hits of th game. 'Hie Corn Huskersscored in
the first Inning. Swartwood got llrst base
by being hit , nnd went to third on Genius'
cfcnn hit and scored on Van Dyko's sacn-
llco.
llco.In the eighth Inning Gonlns led off with n
corking hit , stele second and third bases , and
scored on Isolds' wild throw to third.

Clone How out to Scholbock , who throw wild

bo was rising from a knock down Hint had
almost finished him , and the referee there
upon gave the tight lo Corydon on a foul.
Tlio poltco know nothing about the light

the famous Chicago swuyOack Tenny should

M. 11. Stovlu and U'lllluju Cordon , taking
two lanterns with them , managed to effect ui
entrance through a .small opening InU
Jho collar. Working along with dttllcultj
and in llvo feet of water , they made as i
thorough an examination as the debris would
permit. Among the overhanging timber. '
and Iron pipes they discovered two bodies , i :

xvedgod In and held securely by several
wooden limbers. Tlio bodies 'woro those ol
men and \vero more or less burned. They
made an effort , to get at them , but in tholi
attempt to tear away some of the debris
found thut such a rourso would result in
bringing duwn upon their own heads the
immense mass of brick and possibly result In
their death.
At U o'clock a rod glare emanating from
the depths of the ruins proved that the lire
was still burning In the roar Dart of ttio eel-

struggling with the mangled and inanimate
.form of u man in his arms. Upon a heap of
bricks aitd debris it was laid and revealed a
hprrluld sight. U looked as though the vic

standing probably six foot high. What re

A tag marked .with a number on it was n't-
tucbed to tlio body by Coroner Hanloy , who
proposes to number each victim taken from
the ruins from this time out.
The body had hardly boon disposed of

There are many theories as to the cause of

Br.u.l Corn Is mi assured crop iu soulhoast-
orn South Dakota nnd northern Nebraska
this year. And It will bo the largest crop In
bushels and the boat crop In quality ovir
produced on this soil. Six weeksagu corn win
two weolcs behind Its normal condition for
Unit period hi the growing season , but It Inn
gained two weeks In six and Is now fully up
to the season nnd growing murvclously ,
'Iho early part of the your was noi pro-
pltlous for corn. Juno was wet nnd hot.
.Inly was wet and cool. August has boon a
model month for corn. Hot days , not
nights , frequent rains , no hot winds.
This early advent of the wet
season almost precludes early frosts , or
light frosts , ir Uioro are nnvatall. Mu.-h
moisture In August is usually followed bv
lengthened dry periods in September and
October , anu a dry ntmosphero docs not
beget heavy frosts. At least thU is the
theory among farmers who have communed
with this soil and ntinosph-jro for a gro t
many year. ) . And moisture now , when the
ground is In coo.l . condition to ab orb It ,
moiins lhat thu Holds will bo in good condi
tion for early plowing in thu spring.
Hut there has bcon galhm'ed to the thrashIng -
Ing machines in South Dakota this year a
harvest of small grains which Is simply phe
nomenal. Seventy bushels of oats to the
acre , thirty bushels of wheat , forty bushels
of hulled barlov , sixty bushels of rye. It
would lie desecration nnd almost sacrlleiro to
pierce Koiith Dakota's ' soil with nil nrleslim
well drill after such a record. Ycinkton
county alone will raise yj.UOO.OOO . worth of

CIIKTI : , Nob. , AUC- . -Special [ to Tun
OMAHA Bii : : . ] Thu warm , sunshiny weather
of the past week has been favorable , and
corn has urown well , but it has not pro
gressed us rapidly as it would have- done
with less rain.
The tomporaluro was decidedly above the
average Iho llrst part of Ihu week , but thu
cool weather of ttio last two days reduced the
'
average for the week to from o'no to four de
grees above the normal. The sunshlno has
also been above the average.
The rainfall has bcon ubovo the norm.il
ovcr.vwhoro except in the northwestern iiurt
of the state , where it amounted to iinout balf -
an Inch. Throughout the Pintle vallov from
ono lo iwo inches fell , and in Iho southern
and northwestern parts of the slnto over two
inches. Thunder and hall storms nave been
frequent and somewhat Injurious during the
week , especially on the 17th and 18th , when
heavy thunder storms prevailed throughout
Iho stato.
Corn has gained slightly In average condi
tion ; the growth and acreage is largo and
with a Into fall will yield a crop decidedly
above the average.
