Nebraska's corn crop Is finished and all
that remains to be Jono now Is to harvest und
market It.
Tbo grain men of this city have been keep-
inp very eloio watch on the progress of the
crop sinto It llrst sprouted from the ground ,
nd nro In a position to cstimato very cloicly
what thn yield will bo , and for that reason
their opinions will bo of general interest.
The largest corn ciop ever railed in the
tate prior to this year was In 188'J ' , when the
government reports placed the number of
busho's ' grown at 110,54:1,000. :
A. H. .laqultu , Omaha niovator company -
I believe that the crop of corn will bo the lar
gest In the history of the stnto. The old
corn Is pretty well cleaned out of the stnto
nnu for that reason thcro may not bo as much
to ship thii season ns on some previous years.
\V. N. Nnson. secretary of IJoard of
Trade I plneo Nebraska's ' corn crop at ,
IW.000,000 uuslioh.
James Walsh It Is a good crop , outtI do
not beliuvo that It will bo as large as dij-rcat
many estimate. The old counties have not
us largo a crop ns expected , but the xvcsturn
counties have n rnudh better crop than over
before. Nebraska has the best general
crop of all kinds of grains , loots and grasses
over raised.
J. connor " -Nebraska lias n line corn crop ,
nud ono ucaily as good as that of I'sis'J. ' ' The
corn looks very we'l ' now , but I bollovo that
tboio will bo a peed dor.l of light nnd chaffy
corn , and this applies equally well to the bottom
tom lands 01 Iowa. I 1mvo 11,100 acres of corn
In ono Held In Nebraska.
C. 11. Fowler , FowlerKlovator company I
estimate the Nebraska corn crop as largo as
38VJ. It u not so largo In the castern coun
ties , but In the western counties It Is larger
than ever. In a good-nninv of these western
counties where they never daU a bushel of
corn , they will this joar have any amount to
f oll. Hotwcon darks and Grand Island
there Is a little strip of country In which the
crops are not very good , but wo.it of there it
Is gioat.
J. B. Christian Nebraska's corn crop will
average about llfty-slx bushels to the ncro.
H. ( Jockrell I believe that Nebraska's crop
of corn will bo the largest over raised In the
Into , caused by the increase In the acreage.
I'M ! , Hwartz I have heard this year's corn
crop in Nebraska estimated nt KiO.OOO.OOO
bushois , which I believe to bo a fair estimate.
Harry C. Miller , in speaking of the crops
nnd crop prospects , said : "In my Judgment
the corn crop of Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas
will ba from 5 to 10 per cent less than the
yield of ISS'J. In quality it was never bettor.
There Is a mutter however In which the
country is moro deeply Interested jilbt at pres
ent than In the exact yield In bushois of corn.
Being engaged In tlio gialn and shipping
business in Omaha ami In consequence
closely Identified with the farming Interests
in the territory tributary to this city , I feel
that my knowledge of the grain situation In
tills country and lOuropo may provo of some
value to these who may bo engaged in the
raising of grain.
"Tho cra/y claim now being made by nn
uninformed editor of nn alllanco p : > per pub
lished at Minneapolis , Minn. , that wheat U
worth on its merits from $1.50 to $ J per
bushel , and advising the holding of this pto-
duct by thonlllanco members'forsuch prices ,
is liable , if acted upon by them favorably , to
cause an immoiuo loss to the farming com
munity of this great Missouri river territory.
Already the Chicago bears are giving the tip
to their follower * over the country in gen
eral , that encouragement Is being given by
them to the hold your wheat circular and
then aid will bo given towards creating n
temporary bull movement , thereby enabling
them ( the boars ) to secure a good advantage
on which to shott the market.
"No ono who has the wolfnio of this great
ntato of oiri , and these adjoining at heart ,
can help but wl h for higher values of grain ;
but it is to the conservative adviser in times
like these , these mtoicsted should listen If at
nil , and not to the wild assertions of someone
who says without scarcely any foundation
for wtiat ho says , that * , * . hlch ho'bclievos will
please his renders ami perhaps aid him In his
eido speculation on the Chicago Board of
Trade , throiwh those In whoso interest ho
may bo working.
"The govciuinent figured our wheat crop
for this year in Its final report us amounting
to n5.UO,000 ( ) bu.shcls.tho largest over raised.
Slnco this report was published the wheat
that has been threshed , both winter and
spiing , lar exceeds what was
expected of it , ns given by
the government report ; and now the
best Informed grain men In the country place
our wheat crop at over (100,000.000 ( bushels ,
Our own needs for the next twelve months ,
Including all uses , will not bo over a 15,000,000
bushels. This will leave us over SOO.000,000
bushels for export , and taking the most rad
ical estimate , thoio will not bo ueodcd for
export of our wheat SOri.OOO.OOO bushels.
"ICxporlenro has taught us , time and tlmo
ngain , that whatever the situation may bo on
the continent and elsewhere In Europe ,
barring n war , they will not take our wheat
In largo quantities at much over < ! In Now
York. Above this llgino It becomes a
luxury , and It Is used so sparingly that the
short crops across the water aio discounted ,
nnd wo , through the ndvlco of false Mcnda.
nro left with a largo surplus on hand that
could have been sold at fair prices.
"Thero Is now in sight nt primary points
fully SO.OOO.OOu bushels of wheat. Tim do-
in a nd across the water is rapldlv falling off.
there being 1)00,000 ! ) bushels loss exported
the first week In October than the last week
In September. The urgent demand from
Franco nnd ICnglaml has been salislled and
they wilt bo In no hurry to lay In additional
itoclts on any material advance.
'With this immcnso visible surplus In
sight , and the shipments which will bo made
right along by llioso who are not members of
thu alliance , should this worthy organization
listen to the worthless advlco they nro now
receiving , there will bn moro than enough
wheat on hand to supply the dally demand ,
mid then when the alliance wheat is tin-own
on the market , the Chicago boars will Jump
onto It , nnd depress prices much below their
legitimate valuo. Our surplus wheat can bu
disposed of on a basis of Si.00 or a few cents
higher In Now York. This will leave ttio
farmers of this territory an worago of about
05 cents for such wheat as Is being offered by
them for snlo this year ,
"Let the farmers of the Missouri vallo * ,
think for themselves and leave Ignatius Doii-
iiolly und all his t > paru tlmo In lauding Lord
Uacon and damning Shakespeare. AUvUo
thorn to road the dally papers , watch the
maiket ropoits contained therein closoly.anu
they will know uotter when to market their
grain than any self professed prophet can
tell them.
"Another circular Is now being Issued
through the Inlluonco of this same Minneapo
lis saso. It Is advising the holding of corn.
This circular will , I fear , bo needed moro
tkan the wheat circular , for the reason that
corn has been bringing * uoti Utah ilguros for
the lass olfht months. The farmer * , how
ever must .not lese sight of the fact that the
crops of last year weio almost a failure , not
only In corn but In all other ceieaU , also veg
etables nnd fruits , while thi jntr there U
an ovor-nbumtanco of everything.
"Again , there never was a tlmo during 1SW )
or 1SUI that corn for consumntlvo imrpoiu.i
was worth within 15 cents pet bushel of what
it brought. Speculation put It up , and not
honest VJluo ; nnd the outcome was that thu

who worb bulling the maikot on corn wont

bushois of old corn In sight and u new crop

keep thomiclves posted on the supply and
demand through the proper sources , the
Uailv papers , and then market their products

unco with information gained therein , Ne

( Train Inspection.
Tbo Inspection of grain In Nebraska wan
looked upon In the early part of the summer
as something of an experiment , but It has
now been in operation some weeks and has
prrovcd to bo an unqualified success. Chief
Insjicctor Ulanchard. having been himself a
grain grower und familiar with the views of
grain producers , obtained for his assistant
ono of the best grain exports In the country ,
and togetner they have been able to conduct
tbo Inspection In a manner highly satisfac
tory to both buyers and sellers.
So fur all ccrtlllcatcs of Inspection issued
from Mr. Btanchard's ' ofllco have been ac
cepted at eastern * markets and pinin men
claim that Nebraska inspection will soon bens
ns well known and us readily accepted as
that of any other state.
.Owing to the Hpnt crop raised last year
nnrt to tbo fact that the old crop was mar
keted vcrv closely some tlmo ago. the re
ceipts of grain nt this point have been light
and only WK ) cars wcro Inspected lust
"
month. "This Is regarded , however , ns
a good showing for the llrst
month. This month ttio inspectors are busier
and thcro will probaoly bo u largo Increase In
the number of cars Inspected , The elevator
men claim that when now corn commences to
move the Omaha grain market will have a
boom and that people Will bo surprised at the
amount of business that will bo dot.o hero
tins season.
Uhtof Inspector nianchnrd furnishes a vcrv
good'oxamplo of the bcnollts derived by the
county from Nebraska Inspection of grain.
An Omaha grain dealer had (10,000 ( bushels of
rye for sale and sent a sample to Ilaltlmoro
and received word back that It would grade
No. ! ! . Moanwhtlo the grain baa boon in
spected In Omaha as No. - and was shipped
to Baltimore and accepted as graded
hero. If It had not been for
the Nebraska Inspection law the dealer
would have been under the necessity of sell
ing the grain according to the linllimoro
grading on ttio sample , that Is a ? No.U. At
that tlmo the difference In the market prlco
between No. 2 and No. ! l was lOo per bushel ,
which , on .10,000 bushels would amount to
55,000. If the local dealer had been forced to
sell that lot of grain ns No. U ho would hnvo
notitlcd all bis agents tnroiiKbnut the state
to reduce the price tbnt they wore paying for
rye and other Nebraska buyers , learning of
the sale , would have done the snmo thing.
Thus the farmers of the state would have
been poorer by many thousands of dollars
thtough this one sale alono.
Gratifyinjj to All.
The high position attained and the univer
sal acceptance and approval of tbo pleasant
liquid fruit remedy , Syrup of Figs , as tbo
most excellent laxative known , illustrate the
value of tbo qualities on which Us success Is
based , and are abundantly gratifying to the
California Fruit Syrup company.

Yesterday the democrats of Douglas county
chose delegates to the county convention ,
which meets tomorrow. There was moro or
ess strife between tlio champions of W. H.
Ijams and M , V. Gannon for the clerkship of
the district court , und the O'ICeoffo ' and
antl-O'KeelTo factions in the bocond com
missioner district.
In tbo Second ward the fhjht was wngcd
with great , vigor again 3t the O'Koeffo ticket.
The opposition to O'lveeffe was led by Sam
uel Montgomery , mid he piovod to bo n bard
lighter and an able general. Tbo O'Keeffo
ticket got to tlie front , however , by a hand
some majority.
In the Fourth ward thcro were two tickets
and a lively light , but everything was or
derly. The Gannon ticket won tbo light.
The two tickets in the Kighth ward bad a
close contest until nearly time for the polls
to close , when n crowd of sixty graders em
ployed on Douglas street , who arc camped
near Thirtieth and Cass streets , were voted
in a lump. They all voted the caucus ticket
straight. Some of them were boys about 18
years old. The caucus ticket was under
stood to bo in favor of Gannon for clerk of
the district court , although tbo delegates
wcie not Instructed by the caucus. The op
position ticket was in favor of Ijams as
against Gannon. There was n great deal of
scratching. Of the straight , tickets the
Ijams ticket bad 118 and tlio Gannon ticket
had SS.
The Sixth ward Is with ono possible
exception an Ijams delegation. The
only light was made by T. O'Brien ,
Pat Fold's son-in-law" who
- - , was
knocked out for delegate nt the primaries
and got out another ticket , the same as this
one with the exception that Lessentino was
loft out and John Keeil put in his place , with
O'lirion ' as Heed's alternate. Ho was over
whelmingly defeated , however , and will not
have an opportunity to raalto uny Fold trades

for n purpose they scarcely know what
however they had hoard that the Oxnard
Boot Sugar company contemplated building
asocoud and larger bout sugar factory In the
state of Nebraska , and why not locate It nt
Norfolk , the queen city of the state I A few
thought by raising $30,000 the Oxnards
might bo Induced to erect the factory hero ;
others thought the idea absurd and the or
iginators of the theory quite visionary U not
insane.
To bo sure Norfolk had many advantages
over other cities In the state , having an In
exhaustible water supply and being located
In the center of the host sugar boot country
In tbo world. The soil of Germany , whore
more beet sugar is made than oUowhoro ,
produces only 12 per cent saccharine matter ,
while Nebraska's sol ! proJuces 10 to ! JO per-
centum. Certainly this was a good point in
Norfolk's favor , and while the bret sugar
Industry Is an experiment with the agricul
turists of tlio state Us success is an assured
fact to the Oxnards and Hnmlltona , who are
putting the vast amount of money in it.
The sugar Industry Is yet in Its Infancy ,
the people of tho'stato have no Idea of its
future developments and what it has in store
for them. Instead of the 100 acre farms
they can Just ns well bo ton aero tracts and
make moro money from tbo latter than the

valuable , making tbo country more densely
populated and the cities larger. Certainly
Ibis would bring success , but us to the loca
tion of the factory , with such men nt the

Stewart , M. A. Hauxbolt , Gus. Saltier. Dr.
F. Verges and n score of others , success was
nn absolute certainty anO failure an un

waited upon Mr. Oxnard and confronted him
with ? ino,000 In gold und a site of fifty ncics
adjoining the city ho very wisely answered ,
"Wo will come , " und they came.
This morning precisely nt 10 o'clock a. m. ,
Mrs. Gus G. Hamilton , wife of tbo gen

"As all the mass of Inttirato machinery obeys

church was making great progress In this
territory.
At the afternoon session Bishop Fowler of
San Francisco road nti essay on the present
status of tno Mothodlsm In tbo wostcrn sec

The proscnt status of American Methodism
[ ho said ] was the icsiilt of the iinnumbcrrd
forces of heart and brain , tide and tempest ,
of climate and temper , of transit and eclipse ,
though a hundred years of Kiowth on this
Mill and In this free states Is produced a con
dition of life dissimilar from any other devel

there was but one Methodist denomination
and only nnu annual conference , only olghtv-
thrco traveling preachers and 11.133 members.
Today ihnro are ilftccn denominatlonsof Mcth-
odlsts , a fact that l.s thought to show that they
have some brains and some Independence. 1'er-
haps with more brains and more Independence * ,
there would ho loss denominations perhaps
only two or one. The ono conferum u has mul
tiplied Into about MJ. And the oluhty-thteo

Sunday school ehlldien and a followmir of
ovor-l'.OUO.UOO ' souls In the republic * . The first
net of American Methodism , her llrst resolu
tion was to ordain a college.
f'l ho .speaker then proceeded to consider
some of the principal wants of the church. ]
Her Inchest want [ he said ] Is n. firm grip on
the snpei natural. Unless Methodism Is
supernatural It Is nothing. Thu eroat center
ami scciet of .Methodism , thu reason of her
existence Is to boar testimony to a knowablu
religion to secure and repeat , the witness nf
the holy spirit. Uur next need Is Ideas. Wo
must roach out In all directions with the ap
pliances necessary for varied success. Wo
ought to capture and utilize every sect that
brings success to any other church.
Au'iln , wo must light for the centres of pop
ulation , Tbo cities are the fonts. Whoever
holds them holds the future. The church
must thus settle the labor dllllculty. If wo
allow any other agency lose ttio It , no must give
place to that agency and seriously i educe our
usefulness among men ,
. Another want Is consecrated money. Al
ready all the great questions of saving this
word ate reduced to questions of money.
Unity Is strength. This law holds with un-
abuted power o\er every branch of the Chris
tian church.
Bishop Fowler's essay was greeted with
prolonged applause.
Bishop C. B. Galloway , of Jackson , Mis . ,
representing the Methodist Episcopal church ,
south , next addressed the council. Bishop
Gallownv devoted his remarks largely to the
subject of the status of Methodism in this
country.
Hov. Dr. WilllamfBriggs of Toronto , repre
sented , as ho said , the Methodist church
without prolix or sufllx. Ilo described the
growth of the church in Canada , saying it
was the largest in membership of any pro-
tcstant church.
The next address was delivered by Bishop
E. Arnott of Wilborforco , (5 ( * . , representing
the African Methodist Episcopal church. Ho
was greeted with applause.

WHY THRY DO
People don't trade with us because they love us. They don't come into our store , in
crowds because they're stuck on our clctks. They don't jostle and crowd each other to get the
goods they want simply to amuse themselves. They don't stand around half an hour to get
waited on when we're rushed , simply to kill time. They don't trade with us because we sell
better goods than anybody else , because no one house nor dozen houses can corner all the
good things. They trade with us because it pays them to do it , because we hit 'em in their
touchiest spot , their pockctbooks. In other words it's
THE 1POWE.K OF" PRICE-
that keeps the machinery of our great business constantly oiled. Never was that power ap
plied with 'more force than we use it this week in our Boy's Clothing department , in thcso
