though it required cloven Innings to do It.
Just as n starter , Jolen helped the Nonpa-
roll's cash-box alonj : by winning the 100
yards' run between himself and Condon of
South Omaha , lor a * 20 purso. That mode

Prof , llcncel. the well known French fenc
ing master recently engaged as Instrttotor at
tim now Omaha Athletic club , was found bv
n reporter Saturday afternoon at the club
house watching the p.unturs nnd trralnors
put tbo finishing touches on the largo main
room of the building.
When asked to teli somothlng about fenc
ing and the Omana poopla who use the foils
for amusement the professor said :
"Thero are throe schools of fencing , the
French , Italian and Spanish , the former dif
fering from the other two principally in tbo
position of the sword and arm while engardo
nnn In the coolness of the play , winch is less
impetuous than tha Italian and less violent
than the Spanish. The Frencb school ,
now superior to nil others , requires
of the fcurior coolness. Judgment , quickness
lightness of the hand ana precision In the
parries nnd attacks. It Is not a question of
moro force , but of using your strength to the
best possible advantage at the proper mo
ment. The work comprises an tinintortuptod
succession of movements , supple , rapid ,
graceful , that requires incessant attention
and thought.
"Exercise with the foils , which Is now so
popular in the cast , also has its
place and followers in Omaha.
On the first of October I will .close my
academy , having been engaged as master of
arms by the Omaba Atblotlo club. Of
course I follow the methods of the French
armv hi my teachings , though somewhat
Improved by the adoption of many of Camlllo
Provost's ideas. Provost , as you probably
know , is considered ono of tno preatost ex
ponents of the art of fencing In the world
and is now instructor in one of the famous
Paris clubs.
"Thero uro many fencers In O/naha whoso
work has boon tested nnd compares favor
ably wltn that of fencers in this country erin
in Europe. Not long since * party of goutle-
mcn among whom was a famous Danish
master of arms und several Gorman naval
ofllccrs wcro in Omaha for ncouplo of days ,
'
and they sought mo out. The party spent'nn
entire afternoon with mo nnd was delighted
and surprisoo. at the work of some of my
pupils.
"Probably the best nil round fencer in
Omaha , both for sciontilic points and as
saults , is Mr. George W. Ames , president of
the Athletic club. Mr. Ames has studied the
an both bore and abroad and as u result ex
cels In It.
"Dr. F. J. Dcspcchor has been a constant
worker with mo in addition to practicing in
Pnri.T-.Tlth n well Known master and is a
very formidable opponent in an assault.
"Mr. Howard A. Clarke ha ? been a persist
ent and bard-working pupil , whoso progrest
has been very grntifyinir. His handling of
the foil is distinguished bv Croat quickness
and precision. C. W.-Martin , Chat Uedick ,
Lucten Stephens , John W. McDonald , C.
Savage , Dr. Gluck , P. 1C. Wood and many
others in tbo citv have made admirable prog
ress. 1 think before long there will bo a
number of fencers in Omaha who will bo
able to'compete with amateurs In any part of
the world.
"It is moro than probable , " said the professor
ser in closing , "that wo shall have some line
exhibitions of fencing when wo got tha
young uen of the club' Interested in tbo art. "

The town of Yoloseo , Ter. , is pushing Itself -
self rapidly to the front and rejoicing in the
fact that It has a docn water channel in
which tbo largest ships of the ocean may sail.
The town Is situated three miles from the
mouth of the Brazes river , which latter was
called originally and.is still referred to as the
"arm of the God , " The channel was
deepened by the Brozoa Hlvur Chan
nel and Doclc company. This company
purchased several thousand acres of land
and commenced the bulldincr of Jetties. At
that tune tboro were only four nnd n half
foot of water at the bar. That was two
years ago. On July U the brig Atlanta , from
Now York , drawing fifteen foot , anchored la
the harbor. The following month the thrco-
inaitod schooner Henry P. Mason , from Now
York , sallod ever the bar drawing slxteon
feet and'a halt of water. Within n year
twenty foot of water nro assured.
The company Is now building wharves , n

excess in temperature occurring over ttio
central 7nllcy * . where warm , dry weather
was most needed for the ripening of corn.
Over the greater portion of the ccrn region
the dally excess In temperature ranged from
0 to 12 degrees , nnd this high temperature ) ,
attended as It was by almost continuously
clear weather , must have forced the ripening
Of corn , which has been retarded in growth
during the previous wocus of cool wo'Hhor.
In the cotton region the temperature was
slightly in excess nnd In California the week
was slightly cooler than usual.
Rainfall There wo ? n general deficiency
in rainfall ever thn whole country cast of the
Hocky mountains with the exception of a
few limited localities where local showers
gave more than the normal rainfall. These
small areas nrn located In North Carolina ,
Texas , eastern Michigan nnd northwestern
Iowa. There was almost a total absence of
rain In thn lower Mississippi , lower Ohio
and the lower Missouri valleys , Heavy
local showers occurred In the east gulf
states and lower lauo region , \vhilj very
light showers wcro reported from all other
districts. The rainfall was in excess on the
immediate Paellio const , although very lighten
on the coast of California , while generally in
the interior llttlo or no rain was reported.
Now England Very favorable weather
for ripening crops. Harvesting is going tor-
ward rapidly with giod results. The potato
rot is not increasing.
Now York Considerable fall rye Is up and
growing well. The corn and buckwheat
harvest is advancing in the southern
counties , elsewhere it requires from one to
two weeks. Tobacco is maturing rapidly
and sumo has been harvested. The second
hay crop is good. Apples are tine.
Ponnsylvania-T-Woaihor exiivincly favor
able for ripening tobacco. Thu bnllc of thu
corn crop is safe from frost , and cutting has

has been cut , and under thu most favorable
circumstances. Seeding is progressing.
Now Jersey Very favorable weather con
ditions have prevailed in nil sections of tbo
state. Corn is maturing rapidly and cutting
has commenced in some counties. Vine
truck nnO grapes are nearly all marketed in

Maryland Reports from every section of
the state show that the weather conditions
have been favorable to farming and canning
interests. There is an excellent outlook for
corn in most sections , but lomatoos are less
than n full croo , owing to previous wet
weatbnr. Tobacco in southern Maryland now
needs showers.
Virginia Conditions were excellent for
crowing crops , though the weather was
rather too warm the past few days for to
bacco already out.
North Caroliua The warm , sunshiny weeK
was most favorable for all crops and farm
work. Cotton is opening more rapidly ,
though picking is uot General.
South Carolina The high temperature nnd
excessive sunsniuo scalded and rusted cotton ,
shedded the young fruit anil caused immature
bolls to open. The damage is boliovcd to bo
more than formerly reported.
Alabama The rain of last week greatly
benefited all crop. * . There is no material
change in the condition of cotton since the
last report. >
Mississippi Growing crops are suffering
from the dry , hot weather. Cotton harvest
ing is in progress ; the stuplo is good , but the
sunsblno is opening immature bolls. Haln
could not materially bonolit cotton.
Louisiana The "weather was generally
favorable and there is a slight Improvement
in prospects , though rll crops , especially
cano , need rain. Excellent harvesting
weather. Cotton Is opening rapidly nnd
picking is well under way.
Arkansas Tbo continued warm days and
cool nights in the northern portion of tbo
state have caused cotton to recede , with a
consequent further reduction In its condition.
Cotton picking has become general. Corn
and other crops are in good condition , but
warm rains are needed.
Texas The weather was favorable for
cotton picking , which has progressed rap
idly ; the staple is unusually long and clean.
Showers have improved lalo cotton and the
top crop in Texas. Tbo prospect continues
favorable- over northern Texas.
Tennessee The late cropi are' suffering
from drouth and plowing has been suspen
ded. Haymaking and loader saving Is
progrossinc finely. Cotton picking is under
way ; the crop is short. Warmth and sun
sblno required to mature late corn.
Kentucky Corn is maturing' rapidly and
Is about safe from frost ; tobacco Ls being
cut ; the crop seriously damaged in Chris
tian countj' by hail. Pastures need rain ;
fall plowing nearly completed.
Ohio The hoi , dry weather is maturing
corn rapial.v ami another week will see nil
corn matured. Cora and tobacco cutting is
in progress in the mlddlo nnd southern portions
tions of the slate. The lack of rain has boon
Injurious to pastures and delays plowing nnd

Michigan Weather conditions have boon
favorable for all crops ; corn Is-practically
safe and cutting is general. A l&rgp acreage
of wheat has bcnn .lowu. Uain is noe-iiud in
the southwestern counties.
Illinois Mho warm , sunshiny weather

is progressing , but has been jotardcd souio-
what by lack of moisture. Hnin Is needed
for early sown wheat and pastures. <
Indiana The warm , ilrv ana suiishlnv

very rapidly. Most of the corn is considered
safe from frost and the remainder will tie in
a few days with a continuation of present
weather conditions ; rain is needed for newly
sown wheat.
Iowa Moro than throe-fourths of the corn
is safe , with the balance moro or loss im
mature. Haiti is needed tor pasturage and
fall plowing. Too prospects are that the
state will produce a good crop of sound corn.
Wisconsin Corn is out of danger from
frost nnd cutting has commenced. A largo
acreage of wheat and rye is being sown.
Potatoes are only a fair yield ; tobacco Is har
vested and is u irood yield of line quality ;
cranberry picking is nearly completed.
Minnesota Tbo warm weather nas Im

revelation of ( ioriuan solidarity and strength
of number * wa < furnished hero today. Ap
parently it was arranged M n Jilting fore
runner of the great eongrosa of Gentian-
American Catholics which begins proceedings -
ings tomorrow. The announcement had
been made locally that now Catholiu
church was to ho dedleato'd , but llttlo or
nothing appeared beforehand to Indicate an
ulTair of magnitude or of novel signillcanco.
To the visitor in the city or the residents
of other quarters attracted In that direction ,
the scene presented in passing Out of Oonoseo
street and adjoining thoroliKhfaroj was con
stantly ono of Incrcaiiui ; surprise. Almost
from the corner of Main street the long route
to the new church was llllod nearly exclu
sively with faces of unmlstnlmblo Teutonic
aspect. For a straight inlio ntul a half and
beyond , ( iuriniin names alone pooped down
from thu hundreds of business signs
guage of the fatherland were Invariably
the readiest ntmvcroil , oven by the children
in tbo throng. In either ulrociion , for d.s-
tancos of many blocKs , the buildings scarcely
without exception were gaily tlrupoil with
Hairs and llutterlng streamers of the kaiser's
red , whlto nnd ulucK , tbo papal colors of
brilliant white and yellow , nnd also the stars
and stripes.
Imposing Array of Catliollu Knl ; > litN.
The odlllcoto bo dedicated was found to bo
that of a distinctively Gorman-American
parish , tbo church of the Seven Colors. It Is
a hugo stone structure , towering , mnisivu
and battlomuntcd , reminding the beholder of
a mediaeval fortress. Around * the
church forming a ( lashing circle
of polished stool , stood an imnoslng
army of dnrK uniformed Catholic knigbts ,
with drawn swords at present arms. Up nnd
down the streets , hemmed In by crowds or
eager spectators , could bo seen rank after
ran It of bright , tinsel-sashed sodalities bearIng -
Ing aloft banners inscribed with gilded letters -
tors , chiclly in Latin or Gorman.
The chief personage in the spectacle was
strangely in contrast with the multitude
abcut liim , a man of marked Celtic pbvsiog-
nomy , Kt. Uov. Bishop Kynn. the adminis
trator of this Catbolio diocese. Seem
ingly unconscious of tlio peculiar
ity of the surroundings the prelate ,
intent upon his sacred functions ,
slowly paced the circuit of the church's ox-
torlor , blessing the stones to the services of
tbo Almighty. Tlio task ended , ho dUup-
pearcd from view and the remarkably Gor
man character of the whole scene was inton-
sitied morn strongly than over.
Within the church. Into which the cairor
thousands now poured , there appeared with
in the sanctuary us celebrant of the muss
this time n Germau-Atnerican prelate. Ht.
llov. Uishop Xardottl of St. Cloud , Minn. ,
and the immcn.so mass of people bowed and
genuflected and knelt , while perfumed clouds
from golden censors .obscured the scarlet
background of the altar nnd the high vaulted
arches trilled with the allellahus of the inag-
nillccnt Gorman choir.
Then there stepped Into the pulpit , In
snowy surplice and stole and blacii borotta , n
junlnt little spectacled figure as if the imnge
of an antique wood carved saint from his
lodcstal in snmo old Rhenish cathedral , and
addressed the intent , multitude- wholly In
German.
Father Van KOSSIIIII'H Klo < | i'oiieo.
It was Father Van Hossum , ono of the fac
ulty In the grout Gorman-American Canlsous
college , n few squares distant. lie spolto
with great earnestness and hundreds of Teu
tonic matron * with sluuvls over heads and
babes in arms , llttlo maidens with llaxcti
braids , brawny workingmen with hair cut
horizontally In the back gripping tlgntly tlio
hands of youthful presentments of themselves
nil hung from the preacher's words as If
their lives depended upon catching every
syllable. Here nnd there an individual sud
denly , white faced and dripping with perspi
ration , would emerge from the crush , but the
place was quickly lllled by others undeterred
by heat or latlcuo , for all were standing.
The thamo of the preacher's discourse was
"Tho Sacrodncss of the Church of God and
What Was Connected Therewith. " Mean
while thousands outside waited patient as
statutes. The most solemn moment of the
ceremonial , the olovntlon of the host , was an
nounced to them in u startling manner ,
heavy cannonading balng substituted for the
usual ttnklo of a bell.
All in all the demonstration was of a char
acter possibly never before witnessed in
America and elicits much comment. Much
curiosity is expressed as to the number of
German-American bishops who > vill attend
the meeting of tbo German union nnd thus
supposedly avow themselves in opposition to
their fellow prelates. Tlio promoters of the
congress count upon the presence of six to
olgnt wearers of the purple and ! ( QO or morn
priests , besides estimating that 10.000 strang
ers in Buffalo tomorrow niirht v/ill witness ft
torcliliplit pnrndo of another 10,000 uniformed
