' Notwithstanding the severe- losses sus
tained by farmers In the stales of Ion a ,
Nebraska , Kansas and Missouri , their con
dition Is not no bad as will close their cars
to the cry ot distress that conies from thu
drouth stricken people of the cast.
Keports have been Industriously spread
throughout the < east regarding the drouth In
the west , but compnratlvely little has been
published In these parts concerning condi
tions Infinitely worse In the cast. The re
port regarding drouth devastation In Ne-
liraska , which drew out the vigorous denial
of Chancellor Canflcld of the State univer
sity , has ben warmed over by an Industrious
cpaco writer In Chicago , and iippears In th ?
Now York Sunday Herald. The author of
the Munchautcn Btory of ruin Is given by
the writer na E. A. Upton of Lincoln , "a
prominent cattle exporter , " who Is said to ba
"better acquainted with the physical condi
tion of Nebraska" than most men , If Mr.
Upton Is quoted correctly It Is charitable to
fiupposo that he la competing for the belt
Mulhatton once wore. Here is a specimen
pt his talk :
UPTON'S ' LONG BOW.
"It Is admitted that with the exception
of a few localities our coin crop is
n failure. This probably means more to Ne
braska than at first blush a man not ac
quainted with All ot the conditions would
appreciate. Corn Is our staple , and when we
Josef that we lose everything. North of the
Platte river In spots we hove a pretty fair
crop , but in a general way the showers have
been nowhere sufficient to mature- the nrow-
Ing grain. South of the Platte the condi
tions are those of total failure , nnd It should
tie remembered In the country south of the
Platte Is where we have always raised the
corn about which WE have been In the habit
of bragging. A particularly unfortunate con
dition Is that there is no old corn In the
state , at least not enough to speak ot.
"Wo consider fremont ab.ut the center of
the best corn belt , and I knew that at this
point some of the most conservative feeders
are dlecountlng the tuture. as far as possi
ble , by buying corn at points outside at the
Mate. A gcod dp l of this is fr : future de
livery , nnd Is not done simply for the pur
pose of cleaning up a profit on a board of
trade deal. The buyers want the. actual
corn. A great many men , know-tug that It
will be lnipossble : later on to get all the
corn required to feed , are felling their stock
as rapidly is possible.
"While corn Is cur staple , there are other
crops that nro In as bad condition , relatively.
Hay Is almost B failure. Oats are a light
crop , but the quality | s fa/p / , atd this cm
also be said of v.heat. I nm speaking now
of general conditions. Draw a line , from
north l" south , through the center of the
Elate , and yen will strike Hastings. East
let that point yon will have about all of ( he-
country which Is In a reasonably prosperous
condition. The western portion Is going to
ruin abcut as [ ast as poverty and drouth
can kill U.
"I do not Fee Hint there Is any Immediate
future for this country. It is being depopu
lated as fast at pzople can get out of It.
West of Hastings and south of the I'lalte '
there Is a general exodus. People have put
up with crop failures , from drouth and
other CJUUES , until the , burdens cf life In
that part of the statearc - heavier than can
bo borne. They are simply ribandnine
their farms and going back where they came
from. Doubtless Kansas and Missouri are
iettliK ; tL-elr share of the. wc.ru out , dis
couraged dud pauperized farmers. "
Mr. Upton said a great deal more , but the
above is sufficient to chow his versatility In
drawing "the long bow. " Thtre has benne
no attempt to deny that Nebraska has suf
fered from drouth , but the sweeping asser
tions of Mr. Upton magnifies it grossly , for
the evident purpose of bulling the slock mar
ket and enriching himself.
DROUTH IN THE EAST ,
t
The phenomenal dr.uth was not confined
to the Missouri river stut ° s. It extended
from the foothllU of the ftocky mountains to
the Atlantic coast , and the attempt of pastern
provincial newspapers to ma1 < e It a local con
dition to thp detriment of the west , Is pue
rile. Most of them have ceased ridiculing
the west and are now devoting their cnerghs
to discover ways and means to relieve the
distress brought home to their doors. Along
the great lakes drouth djstroyed the growing
crips In large areas. Western New York
felt Its blighting brenth severely. In the
Geneseo valley the Now York World reports
that no rain fell for three months up to the
Ctli of this month. The grapes , which are
usually luscious In the Qcneso valley , failed
to mature , nnd pasturfs dried up KO that It
ivas a hard matter to get food for the stck.
The small streams having all dried up , the
farmers vere compelled to haul water long
distances for the r cattle and other stock.
Extenslva fires broke out In the neighbor
hood of Dunkirk. In Chautauqua county , but
rain no n fell and helped them out.
NEW ENGLAND AFFLICTED.
A correspondent ot the N'ew York Sun ,
\vrltlng from Norwich , Conn. , draws ia sad
plpturo ot the desolation In Now England.
He says ;
The drouth of 1-S94 , which la still un
broken , has been the severest and most pro
longed one In the weather annals ot Con
necticut. The fields nnd highways ot south
ern New England arc like bids of dry ashes ,
and all day and night the air la filled with a
yellow or brownish dust hnze , through which
the sky and twinkling stars are barely vis
ible , and the atmospheric effects caused
thereby In the hot afternoon ire like those
of the famous yellow day < n September ,
1881. The sun all day Is of a pale yellow
hue , like that of a lemon , while Its rays ,
shorn of their strength , are absorbed Into
a luminous inlat. Investing Its flat dlsli
like a misty hood. So feeble is Its light
that one may stare dtiectly at it at midday
without blinking.
All pastures and mowing fields , even low-
lying meadows , are sere and brown. All
wells and brooks and rills were long age
dried up , and most rivers are so shrunken
in their channels that a man may wade
across them without wetting his knee caps ,
Corn has been prematurely ripened , so thai
farmers everywhere have begun to cut am !
stack It unseasonably ; potatoes have beer
withered up , ami the crop is a scanty one ,
and all kinds of garden vegetables are cithei
dead or dying ,
The apple crop Is falling off Its orchard
boughs , on account of the baked soil , a :
cop ) ucly as chestnuts are showered down
In the woodlands , after a bharp frost , on a
windy October morning-
In every town so-called unfailing spring !
have been dried up , and farmers fetch watei
from distant river a to their households 01
Block yards. In a number of shore town :
cf this county ownem of artesian wells EC !
water to thtlr neighbors for 10 cents a tub-
ful. Milkmen feed thi-lr cows on grain
sir.co there Is no "fall feed , " and dole cut
half rations cf milk to ( heir customers , 01
cut off tUelr supply altogether.
STUB/CMS DIUED UP.
The most disastrous effect of the drcutl
lus befallen the southern .New Englam
manufacturer.1) , who had kept their mill :
going all summer , In spite of tlie'hard times
with the purpose In view , ( or the moat part
that their help should not suffer on accoun
of their being idle. This week , however
about all tlio b'g nnd little mills shut dowi
because tlicio In no water In the rivers ti
turn their wheels. For that reason six fac
lories along the brawling Shetucket rUer li
Qrccncvlllc , In the suburbs , including th
crtat cotton f ctory cf the village , and th
mammcth Pancvvah mill at Tattvllle. em
Ploy I PI ; l.CttO hands , have been closed , am
they will tint mume work unl.l there Is i
1 cavy rnlofall. The Slit tucket river i
lined with factories along Its course for flft ;
miles nottli 't ll > la city , most at them belni
cotton anilv ollcn mills , and on account eDie
Die drouth rnly here and there one la a
work. 1 hero li similar trouble all aloni
the Yuntc and Qulnnebaug riven. In fact
on all the streams between the Connectlcu
liver and Narrtgansett bajr.
The damage done by the great drouth t
agriculturists and manufacturers It Incalculable
culable- . Unless rain falls soon , farmers and
milkmen will have lo nfll their ntock or
itmlp their plantations with artculin wells.
Ileporta from Wlndham county , north ol
this ( New London ) county , say that the fac
tories at Wauregun , Danlelsonvllle. Wllllams-
vllle. Attawaugati and smaller towni , are
running only from twenty to fifty hours a
week on account of the scarcity cf water.
At the big village ct Stafford Springs , In
Toll and county , the people ore confronted
with I ho prospect ot a water famine. They
are husbanding tliclr public supply and have
temporarily re-enforced It by tapping n small
pond In the neighborhood. The pond water ,
howevir , Is Impure , and local physicians have
warned the people agalnat drinking It , fearIng -
Ing that a liberal public ute of It may cause
an epidemic.
At Thoinpsonvllle , In northern Connecticut ,
the mills are running feebly and Intermit
tently with a scanty water power , although
the Enfleld Shakers of n neighboring town
\re helping them with a supply from their
own pond. In the same town a carpet com
pany's pond has been dried up , and to foul
emanations from Its bed are due. In the
opinion of local physicians , many cases of
peculiar sickness In the reclon. Water la
EO scarce In the town of Palmer , Just across
the Connecticut line , In Massachusetts , that
local liverymen aril others have been for
bidden by the authorities to use It to wash
their vehicles , and Manager Oainwcll of the
Palmer witter works has notified the New
London Northern railroad that It can have
no more water for Its engines , which use
5.000 gallons a day ,

While the crew of a Pacific freight train
were doing .01110 . switching last week two-
carloads of merchandise Jumped ) the track
and * nt Into the dltrh , and 80 solid cases
cf underwear , blankets and comforlers
wore more or less soiled and damaged \ Ihe
cases breaking open. The claim agent of
the rnlltosd company sold this entire lot ot
stuff to the Iloston Store at their own price.
Afttr cpenlng the cases and assorting the
gotds U was found that although the boxes
and cates were -In very bad condition the
goods had been only slightly soiled , and Just
a few cf them were at all dim aged by water ,
which has since dried out. The railroad
agent admits It was the nlcist lat of railroad
wreck Height that he had ever disposed of
end that l.o had never sold a lot ut such a
rldlcuUuB low price.
This entire lot of men's , Udlcs' ' and ch.l-
dren'a underwear , blankets and comforters
Is now being arranged by the Boston Store
to be put on sale Saturday jn-.rnlng. This
will be a grand opportunity O buy your full
supply of undeiwear at just a fraction tf
Its value.
Do not forget , Saturday morning this grand
lot of goods will K'J on sale at

Mint a Vli'lnus I'np.
Another dog story was recited in court
yesterday. J. O. Hammersley , who lives
away out on Cumlng street near Forty-fourth ,
Is something of a dog fancier and among his
canines Is one of the female persuasion which
Is a terror , according to the story told. It
prowls around the neighborhood and when It
sees a good opportunity to take a piece out
ot the anatomy of any one It Immediately
starts upon the chase In a bee line.
Andrew Peacock lives next door to the
owner.of the dog and on August 28 , while he
was taking a promenade in his back yard
during the balmy softness ot the summer eve ,
the dog espied him. It thought Mr. Peacock
was his meat and Immediately made for him
with blood In its eye. With a lightning
leap It fastened its fangs In Mr. Peacock's
thigh. This wasn't much tun for that Indi
vidual and he didn't want any more , so he
had the owner called Into court and the
judge , after hearing come more about the
playful capsra ot the dog , thought Mr , Ham-
meraley ought to pay about $10 and costs for
being lts _ possessor.
Says M. W. Sclby , Muncle. III. : "Last
summer coal miner came to my drug store
one night , half dead with "cramps. There
was no doctor to bo had. He asked me If
I had anything thut would help him. I
opened a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic , Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy and give him a
large dose , In twuity minutes his pain was
all gone. This man had been subject to
cramps , but has not been troubled since. "
Every family should keep this remedy at
hand for use in such cases. It ran always be
depended upon. For sale by druggists.

The Omaha Central Labor union held a
egular meeting last night In Patterson hall ,
vl'th over sixty delegates In attendance , and
ransactcd considerable business of a public
ature.
a. W. Klnney of Knights of Labor as-
cmbly No. Gill wns appointed reading
lerk by President Schupp , and the crcden-
lals for the following delegates were read
nd accepted :
J. U. Perry of Carpenters and Joiners
nlon , No. 427 ; William II. Austin and Harry
2. IlrlRga of Stationary Engineers Protect-
ve association , K. W. Fleming and George
Tucker of Colored Darbers' union , No. 1 ,
The Labor day committee reporte.1 that
n account of the large amount of business
o bo yet completed , It was unable to make
a complete report at this meeting , and asked
or further time , which wne granted. The
omiiilltco on union labor reported
hat nil the police patrol horses and
11 the horses at engine houses Nos. 2
nd 3 were being shod at non-union shops ,
vhcrc the men were worked longer hours
han union men work. A communication
vas ordered to be Bent to the Uoard of Fire
and Police Commissioners , and the com
mittee ordered to ask that body to hereafter
lave the horses shod In shops where union
men ork.
AMBHOSU ON ARBITRATION.
A member of the union announced that
Judge Ambrose was at the door. A mo-
kn was carried to sdmlt the Judge to make
a talk xipcn the quest oil of labor. When
; udge Ambrose vas Introduced by President
Schupp he said lie was glad to be greeted
> y the b.ys who do the work and he had a
few ideas that lie would freely give this
epresentatlve body. The strike was a great
esson and it was not a strike between labor
and capital , but a strike between labor and
monopoly. Neither lab r nor capital could get
along without the other , but they could both
get along wltluut monopoly. The employer
must be enabled to make just pro ( Us else lie
could not afford to employ labor and the
employes must have living wages siul mre ,
oo , to receive Justice. He advised that the
abor crganlzatlons unite for the legislature
and If they could not secure more they
iliouhl unite upon cue man to get through
ho laws they demand. Onu true rcpreaen-
: ative of lab.r would be able to do more for
the cause of Ubor In the legislature than a
d'czcn ' politicians who wanted to get elected
'or what there was In 11. The laboring
people should unite , upon a law for an arbi
tration l.'curd that would be a means of set-
: llng all disputes between employer and em
ployee. He said that the sentiment fcr
arbitration was growing and he could bee no
reason why differences could not be adjusted ,
as other differences are , In the courts of the
country ,
Two mcmbors ot the trustees committee ,
laving ceased to be membsrs of the Central
Labor union. Con P. Hsgan ot Magic City
federation , No. 635 , and Fred Schubb : ) ! tf
Carpenters and Joiners union. No.127 , were
elected. E. R. Overall of Knights of Labor
assembly , No. 5141 , was appointed to fill a
vacancy In the law committee.
The delegates from Tailors union , No. 02 ,
reported that they were having trouble with
ne of the merchant tailors of Omaha , and
asked that the delegates notify ns many people
ple as possible- the trouble existing- The
union claims the cut In wagss amounted to CO ,
per cent , and was unjust. The matter was
referred to the committee on arbitration.
A communication was received from Car-
pentora and Joiners union. No. CS5 , annamc-
Ing that It was ready and willing to support ,
a dally labor paper If one was started by the
Central Labor union.
CONDEMN THE LYNCHING.
Tlia following resolution was Introduced by
B. R. Overall and unanimously endorsed :
Whereas , Lawlessness and the talcing of
human life have become so common In
this country that In the" opinion of the
Central Labor union of Omaha the time
has come when all the people who believe
In good government should cull a halt and
demand that those who engage In such
lawlessness and crime be punished to the
fullest extent of the law ; therefore be It
Resolved , Thiit we condemn the acts of
lynching of people because It Is contrary
to our constitution , contraiy to the spirit
of the nee and a foul Wet upon our system
of government.
Ilepolved , That we commend the action
of Judge Cooper of the criminal court and
the prosecuting attorney , M. 11 , Patterson ,
of Shelby county , Tennes-iee , who have
taken prompt action to arrest the entity
parties who were connected with the mur
dering of six persons In that county on
August 31 , 1891.
A resolution Introduced by Fred 0. Dean
asking the enforcement of the gambling
laws \vas discussed for some time and laid
upon the table , the members deciding that
It was not a labor question.
President Schupp announced that a char
ter committee had been appointed by the
mayor , and It was suggested that his honor
be asked to add a few more names to the
committee to represent the labor organiza
tions. The committee on law was In
structed to visit the mayor and ask him
to enlarge the committee In aider that rep
resentatives of labor might be placed there
on.

Mr. Willis rices to .lull for Stc-illng- Su'.l
Of ClOtllCH.
J. W. Willis was up yesterday be
fore Judge Berka on a. charge of larceny
preferred by Henry Sallmen , Henry Is a
shoemaker , and lives at Thirteenth and Capitol
tel avenue , when he Is at home. Before
September B he was the fortunate possessor
of a nearly new suit of clothes , new shoes ,
new shirt , new necktie and a new pair of
suspenders. Ho would array himself In this
splendor on holidays , and when he went t'o
sn his best girl.
But last Thuisday when he returned to his
room nnd looked to see If his treasure was
safe , lo , nnd behold , It had taken unto Itself
wings and had flown. But Henry Is of n
practical nature , and In his mind this mys
terious disappearance could not be construed
Into voluntary flight on the part of the
clothes. So dark suspicions Immediately be
gan to circulate In his mind , and at last
fixed upon a certain weary wanderer who had
shortly before taken up his abode In the
same house , ono J. W. Willis by name ,
Henry Immediately bled himself down to the
police Elation and poured his tale of woe
Into the ear of the Individual who Is pro
vided for the convenience of just such
people. A warrant was Issued and 3Ir. Wil
lis found himself In jail.
Mr. Willis said that on the day "on which
he Is charged with taking Henry's clothes he
hud too much of the ripe , rich red Juice ot
the vine on board to do such a thing. To be
sure , he has a new suit of clothes , but a
friend ot his , who was Journeying on his
way to Danver , on the. selfsame Thursday ,
September 6 , had met him on the street and
joined him In a convivial bowl. This was
conducive to such an amiable condition of
the mind on the part of his friend that he
cave him the suit.
Willis was found guilty and sent to Jail for
twenty-five days.
Mrs. Ellen Malson. wlfa ot Elder Ma'son ,
pastor of the U , B. chruch at Gallon , III. , In
speaking of Chamberlain's 1'aln Balm , says :
" 1 can cheerfully recommend It. " Applied
to a cut , bruUe or burn , It produces a sooth
ing , pleasant effect , relieving the pain al
most Instantly and healing the parts quickly
and without leaving n scar. A flannel cloth
dampened v.-lth this liniment and bound on
over the affected part will cure a sprain In
less time than any other treatment. Sold by
druggists. _
