R. G. Dun & Co.'s annual trade nnd crop
report printed below Includes reports from
eighty-two counties in Nebraska , nnd Is pre
pared with great care by the correspondents
of the Mercantile agency. It has always
been a truthful and accurate showing of
crop conditions nnd will be found Interest
ing to every Nebraska reader. It will bo ob
served that corn promises well almost
everywhere , but that small grains are gen
erally In poor condition. The winter wheat
nnd rye crops are a practical failure. Oats
Is not promising. The acreage of flax Is
Tory small and tnmo hay was badly hurt by
the severewinter. . Fruit Is hardly worth
mentioning. Collections are slow nearly
everywhere and altogether the outlook Is
not particularly encouraging. However , It
Is gratifying tolcatu that the farmers are In
better condition financially than usual and
can stand a partial failure with less distress
than heretofore. There Is a good deal of
holdover grain anil prices of hogs and cattle
are high enough to malto up in largo measure
for the shortness of agricultural products.
The report from country battles is encoura
ging and in spite of dull collections country
merchants scum to bo In fair condition.
AiliuuH County.
Crop prospect is good , but backward.
Winter wheat , owing "to a dry winter and
spring , will probably not average over half
n crop ; acreage about the same as Inst year.
Oats promises to bo fair ; not much rye or
spring wheat. Corn , which is the principal
crop , Is a good stand and promises well at
this timo. Ground is In splendid condition
and cMirything growing rapidly. Farmers
generally are prosperous , but this is a dull
season for trade and merchants are not ap
parently doing much. Collections are slow
to fair and money tight. Hanks loaning hut
little ; seem to bo awaiting developments ;
however , are believed to bo on a linn basis
and It is thought will pull through in gooi'
shape.
Antclopo County.
Corn is the principal crop throughout the
entire county and the acreage this year is
reported larger than last , though in some
pjrtlons moro diversified. Prospects are
more promising tlian In former years at tills
tlmo and indications point to an enormous
yield. Considerable oats , wheat anil rye are
grown , and at some nomts small grain has
been injured by high winds. Collections arc
Blow , but business conditions are good.
Itimnrr County.
Principal crop in ' 02 was wheat. A largo
yield was .obtained , and this year farmers
have about 25 per cent moro small grain
sown , in fact , all they can possibly handle.
The continuous high winds in the spring
blow out probably 10 per cent of all grain
BOWII , still leaving a small percentage in
ncrcago over tlmt of last year. Grain , al
though backward , presents a good appear
ance and with no misfortune from drouth or
hail , will bo highly satisfactory. Low
prices make collections harder than a year
Ugo.
lllulno County.
The principal crop last year was corn ,
wheat and rye , the acreage this year being
about the samo. Wheat and i-.vo have been
Injured some by winds and drouth ; tr.ido
fair ; collcetjons slow as to old accounts. At
present not much credit is extended.
lloono County. ,
The crops last year were con , wheat and
oats , principally. The acreago. of corn is
probably 10 per cent larger than usual.
_ Oats somewhat increased , but wheat about
the bamo. The outlook is excellent for an
abundance of all crops , fall wheat espe
cially promising a good yield. Collections
are a little slow and trade dull.
Iloyil County.
Wheat and corn are the principal crops
nnd the acreage this year Is increased. The
Wheat prospect Is not the best but corn is
ilolng well and with favorahlo weather will
malco a good crop\ Collections are slow and
trade only fair.
llox llutto County.
% The principal crop of ' 03 was wheat ,
acreage of which Is double this year , and
there is considerable moro corn. Crops are
tate In this section , and at ono tlmo appre
hension was felt concerning the dry weather ,
but this has been removed to a considerable
extent. Collections and trade are fairly
I ' good. A number of bank deposits have
been withdrawn , nnd moreor less anxiety Is
| expressed over financial reports from the
cast.
Jlrowii County.
Wheat and corn were the principal crops
last year , and were a three-fourths failure
on account of a cold , wet spring. Acreage
this year about the same , and present pros
pects only fair. The army worm ana hot
winds have spoiled prospects for n largo
yield. Collections nro slow ; merchants
complaining bitterly , and many going out of
business , The prosperous farmers appear to
bo dealing In hogs and cattlo.
Iliinuin County.
Crop outlook appears very favorable.
Corn , which Is the principal crop , shown an
excellent stand , while oats promises an av-
crago yield and rye fair. Wheat In some
portions of the county has been retarded by
the dry weather and in the bouthcast portion
tion was considerably iiamnged by hall , On
the whole , however , fanners appear conll-
[ lent of a very fair general crop. The money
stringency has affected general trade some
what and collections are qulto slow , banks
are making no outsldo loans and deposits arc
well rundown. Acanvassof the banks shows
deposits of * 700,8J2.iO , ! and loans of $1.141 , .

bcra' ' trade at present Is only fair.
Hurt County.
Principal crop Is corn , and there Is an In.
creased acreage over last year. Ntrv lands
are balng broken and put under cultivation
nnd considerable small grain has been pu
in , Hesldents hero for years say thov novci

Cherry County.
Crop conditions at present are qnlto favor
able. Wheat Is looking good , rye is fair , al
though the heavy winds of late damaged It
somo. Corn prospects are fair , though but
a small amount Is raised , wheat being the
principal crop. Prospects at present are far
ahead of last year. Collections r.rc fair , al
though there is very little money among the
farmers nt present. A good crop Is a neces
sity to the farmers In this locality.
Cliryenno County.
1 ho acreage In all crops Is one-third larger
than In former years. Wheat and rye nro
the only crops , except possibly n little broom
corn and llax. Cattle , hogs and horses are
numerous. The outlook nt present is good ,
If not bettor , than at same tltnonny previous
year. Money is tight und collections will bo

try , people nro doing well.
Clay County.
In 1S'.I2 the principal crops were corn ,
wheat and oats respectively , the acreage In
other grain being very small. This year
moro winter wheat was sown , but owing to
the drouth many farmers plowed up and
planted corn Instead , thu acreage of which
Is larger. It 1ms n steady , lic.itthy growth ,
as good us over , and will yield more per acre
than heretofore. Wheat will not bo moro
than one-half a crop ; same may bo said of
oats. Potatoes are in fine condition. Con
siderable sorghum cane was planted ; is in
excellent condition nnd will make a largo
crop. Fruits have been injured by cold
sprinc. Collections are good and merchants
nnd farmers prosperous. The advance in the
price of stock has enabled most farmers to
get out of debt and the financial condition
of the community was never as good us
now.
Cnlmx County. _
The prlnclpabcrop Is corn , the acreage of
which is ID per cent greater and prospects
nro excellent , In fact never looked as well ,
Wheat , oats , rye and llax are also raised to
some extent , acreage remains about the
same , but prospects less favorable. Collec
tions reported slow ; trade only fair , but
future prospects of both merchant and
farmer nro good.
CuinliiK County.
The principal cron Is corn.with such others
as wheat , rye and oats. The acreage is
somewhat larger than heretofore nnd pros
pects for a large yield In nil crops has never
been as good as at the present time , al
though In some portions a little behind and
harvest will bo later thau usual. Every
thingIs In line growing condition. Collec
tions rather slow , but future prospects ol
both farmers and merchants are good.
Everybody Is In the best of humoroxccpt the
largo borrower , as banks are only accommo
dating their best customers.
Custt-r Count ] ' .
Wheat and corn nro the principal crops
nnd the acreage this year is from 20 to 25
per cent greater , more land being reduced to
cultivation than over before. Crops are
looking well , in fact , much better than at
same date last year , though some two weeks
behind. Not much llax wns sown this year ,
but some millet for hay. Winter wheat is
very thin and will not yield much. Collec
tions nro practically at a standstill. Trade
Is dull.
Ia\vcs County.
Crops nro looking well and arc not as yet
suffering from drouth , as in some other
counties in this locality. The principal crop
is wheat and oats , acreage of which is 15 per
cent larger than last year. People com
plain of hard times nu.il trade is only fair ,
but the outlook Is encouraging.
ILiwson County.
Principal crops nro corn and wheat and
the acreage Is increased about 10 per cent.
Prospect for corn crop Is good , but small
gram only medium , Hye very poor. Spring
drouth causing shortage. Collections slow ;
trade has fallen olt and banks are trying to
collect their money , as deposits are decreas
ing. Thcro nro quite a number who have
held last year's crops and now refuse to
accept reduced prices. Prospects for both
merchants and farmers are fairly good.
Doncl Comity.
Principal crops last year wore wheat and
other small trrniu. The acreage this year is
about double. Prospects are good for a
bountiful yield in most portions of the county.
For n time n hot wind from the south
wub blowing , but the most thrifty and best
put In crops did not suffer to any great ex
tent. Collections and trade reasonably good
and future prospects of both farmers and
merchants are good.
Docln County.
Corn was the principal crop last year and
is this , acreage being about the same , though
considerable moro small grain has been
planted , prospects are quite good , although
worms liavo caused considerable re-planting.
Collections and trade are fair.
iHimly County. "
Acreage of all kinds of crops is from 10 to
'JO per cent greater this year than last. Corn
and wheat are the two principal crops. Corn
at present is looking well , but wheat will bo
almost a failure -owing to the early dry
weather. Collections have been good dur
ing the past year.
I'lllmoro County.
The principal crops last year were corn ,
wheat and o.its , Wheat acreage sown in
creased for this year 10 per cent , but this
was cut down fully that much by hail and
drouth on account of which small grain of all
kinds will not amount to moro than half a
crop. Corn acreiigo has Increased " 0 per
cent and if , voather continues favorable the
crop will bo at least an average one. In
some portions prospects were never better
than now. Owing to the stringency of the
money market and the fact that banks nro
not loaning , collections are slow and busi
ness rather dull at present.
I'rilllklhl County.
* The principal crops are corn , wheat and
oats. The acreage of the former Is increased ,
oats being about the same. Yield in all
small grains will bo cut short for want ol
rain to prolx.bly one-fourth of a crop. Corn
Is quite promising und looks hotter than at
this time last year , although about two
weeks behind. Collections fair und future
prospects not seriously discouraging. The
high prices of cattle and hogs will , it is

Corn was the principal crop last year and
the acreage this year is fully one-eighth

tlmo of the year. Prospects for wheat and
oats nro poor ; will have probably a gooi !
half crop. Collections have been good until
recently , but are hard Just now owing to the
tightness of the money market , but thi
futura outlook is favorable. There Is r

Gf-nornl ditching" Kxplalns the Plans of
the Democrat" .
WASHINGTON , Juno 25. General Catchlngs
of Mississippi , who was a member of the last
house committee ou rul6s , m speaking of the
legislation which will occupy the attention
of congress at the "special session this
autumn , said : "Tho repeal of the Sherman
law and thorcforin tariff are the two great
subjects wttti which wo will have to
deal. The numerical strength of
the free silver vote is not' cer
tain. It is certain , however , that
many members will oppose the repeal of the
Sherman law unless something nearer to free
coinage is offered. When the tariff debate
springs up every protected industry in the
country will have its report upon the floor.
With opposition so strong , it will be abso
lutely necessary to m&'dify the rules , else
nothing can bo done. jEvery ono remembers
the scenes which marked the closing days
of the lust congress. Day after day was
wasted In senseless motions which had no
object save delay. With these rules again
in force no vote could be readied.
"Tho committee on rules thoroughly un
derstands this. If I am nol mistaken , when
congress meets n different order of things
will obtain. Last winter the committee on
rules formulated n provision which should
meet the case. It was to the effect that it
shall bo always in order to call up for con
sldcration a report from the committee on
rules. The working of it will bo this : Sup-
poio that after a month of delay the com
mittee on rules reports that the next Thurs-
duy shull bo set n\ \ > art for a vote upon the
reiKiul of the Sherman" act and moves the
previous question.
Mow the Mnjorlty Mny Ilulc ,
"Sotting aside the day will bo of Httlo
effect as that clay might ho wasted in filibus
tering , but if the majority wishes to no
business , it can vote down the motion for
the previous question , which will leave it
open to amendment. An amendment can
then be offered , setting the vote for a cer
tain hour and if curried by the majority ,
dilatory motions will bo crushed. The rule
declares that ufter the report of the com
mittee is mudo. but one motion to adjourn
shall bo entertained. It will bo as strong r
method of cloturc as can bo effected and I
have little doubt of Its adoption. By this
plan the business of the house will bo placed
entirely in the hands of the majority and
upon the majority will fall the praise or
blame.
blame.lth
" \\lth regard to the sentiment of the
south concerning the repeal of the Sherman
act , the people not only there , but in other
sections of the country , uro doing moro
thinking ypon this subject than over before.
Eighteen months ngo tho-south was strongly
in favor of free coinage , but it is not so to
day. Sentiment is changing. If iislccd to
hazard n guess , 1 should say that It Is now
about half and half , The causa of sound
money has game * ! ground very rapidly.
"Personally , r favor the repeal of the
Sherman law. I would like to see some
thing in Its place to bcnellt the country
some legislation more wlso and conserva
tive but it should bo wiped out , If needs bo ,
unconditional. "

KANOOOX , .Tuna 05. For several nays the
Moslems have been preparing to celebrate a
religious festival today. This morning they
were forbidden by Mr. Fleming , the British
magistrate , to sacrifice u cow near the
Hindoo temple , Mr. Fleming had threat
ened yesterday to Issue this order and the
Mohammedans were greatly excited. Just
before the hour of sacrifice the police ap
peared near the temple and the Mohamme
dans began stoning them.
The police charged without firing , but the
Mohammedans hold their ground stubbornly
and fought back with sticks and stones.
Mr. Fleming , who had gone to the spot ns n
special policeman , was wounded. The police
men withdrew , got reinforcements and
charged again without effect. Mr. Fleming
then ordered them to lire ,
A volley was delivered at close quarters.
Twenty Mohammedans fell dead und many
moro were wounded severely. '
Called Out the Mllllnry.
As the Mohammedans still refused to dis
perse , the military were called out. Four
companies charged on the double quick with
fixed bayonets. The Mohammedans dis
persed slowly nnd still fighting , although
many had been wounded in the charge of
the troops. They gathered again , however ,
a short distance away from the temple.
They were hardly dispersed before they re
assembled in another street. A desultory
fight between them and the troops has been
in progress all the afternoon. Tonight all the
military are occupied in clearing the streets.
Scores of the Mohammedans and Hindoos
were wounded , nevertheless they show no
signs of yielding , As fast as they are driven
from ono district they gather again in an
other. The regulars are regarded as unequal
to the work of subduing them and volun
teers have been called upon to do duty in the
strcota.

NEW YOIIK , Juno 25. Alexander Well of
Lazard Freres , one of the heaviest gold exporting -
porting houses , prior to his departure for
Europe for the summer , stiid that ho did not
ook for any imports of gold at present. The
shipment of $500,000 this way reported two
days ago did not furnish a precedent which
could be depended upon. "When wo saw
exchange rates go down , " ho added , "wo
made inquiries as to the prospects of Impor
tations. Wo have been largo exporters , us
everybody knows , and wo should have been
exceedingly glad to bo able to bring in gold.
But In spite of our desire to do-so , wo did not
find that the situation justified importations.
"We cannot have imports of gold without
largo exports of wheat , or products or Ameri
can oocuiltics. There is certainly no largo
movement of securities abroad nt present.
Now and then a disposition is manifest on
the part of speculators in Kuropo to lay in
American securities with nn eye to the re
peal of our silver purchase law , but thny are
not Investors ana they sell out again just us
they have bought If they see u chance for
profit or begin or four a loss. The real in
vestors are not buying on chances. They
are waiting for a certainty which the repeal
of the silver law bring ,
' It seems to mo that lighter Importations
nro likely and that with short crops abroad ,
moro exports of our products are probable ,
u 111033 the lunkj In the west continue car
rying the grain holders and keeping the

hotter to sot free a part of the holdings.
Keeping the grain tied up Is no real service

Ing the grain perhaps for n .year or more ,
paying big interest only to find a loss in the

Miss Lydla Matilda Lolmlg , daughter of
Com--ul Lehnlg of 1710 Ginning street , died
from the effects of" an unknown poison at 4.
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Flvo other members of the family nro
seriously 111 nnd two of them were not ex
pected to survive the night.
As near as can bo learned from friends ot
the family , they are led to believe that the
Lchulgs were poisoned while eatlne supper
last Thursday night , but can offer no cauio
of the poisoning. Since then all of them
have been sick , and the attending physician
said ho was unable to Tri-slgnalo the natur *
of the poison.
All Were Anoctoil.
Conrad Lehnlg Is n tailor , who has till
shop In the front part of his residence at the
above named pinco. Ills family consists of
his wife , two daughters , Hoslna and Matilda ,
n son , D. W. Lehnlg , nnd a daughter-in-law ,
Mrs. Theodore Lohnig of Wlnouu , Mlun. ,
who Is visiting the family.
On Thursday the family wore busily engaged -
gaged In getting lioslnn ready for the High
school graduation exercises , In which she
took part at Deed's now opera house
that night. Just before starting for the
opera house they p.-vrtook of n llpht supper
and on their rotmn were ull taken with a
painful Illness. They did not seem to regard
the attack with alarm nnd thought It was
mused by eating some lettuce , of which they
all partook. Nearly ail of them complrtlnca
of Intense pains In the stomach , and were
taken with attacks ot vomiting , after which
they seemed relieved.
AdinliiUtnrei ) ,
They grew no hotter on Friday , and Fri
day night summoned n physician who ad
ministered restoratives , but Lydla , hep
mother and the sister-in-law grow worse.
In spite of the efforts of the physician Lydla
continued to sink and last evening death
came to her relief. Mrs. Lehnlg Is danger
ously ill and it is not thought she will sur
vive the night , and Mrs. Theodore Lehnlg Is
regarded as being In a serious condition.
Hosina is much better than any of the fam
ily and thinks she was fortunate because
she was so excited about the details
incident to her graduation that
she hardly tasted any food that nigh' , . Her
father and brother are believed to bo out of
danger , but are still very weak. Those who
were able to see visitors attributed their 1J1-
ness to cither the vinegar used on the I l-
tuco or the lard used In cooking , and do not
believe that thry were poisoned by any one ,
as" they have no known enemies.

Dr. Kosenburgh , who is attending the
Lehnlg family , was seen at his icsldenco

porter lust night and ho said that the fatal
case resembled cholera morbtis , but that ho
could not account for the fact that
all the family should bo taken sud
denly 111 at the same time. Ho
said It was probably caused by eating or
drinking something which affected them all
alike. Ho said that impure food could have
produced the same symptoms. Furthermore ,
Mcsdamcs Conrad and Theodore Lohnig
were dangerously ill. Ho did uot care to
discuss ull the symptoms , out hopes to sayo
