Cniml Company lit Out * .
Argument was made this morning before
State Engineer Wilson by D. C. Patterson o
Omaha , representing the Seymour Park Cana
company , In support of the protest ngalns
the granting of the claim of the Fremon
Canal nnd Power company. The protes
made by the Omaha people is based on th
allegation that the plans for the Frcmon
canal contemplate the construction of larg
reservoirs , their objection being that th
company should bo prohibited from storln
nator from the Plutto river during the mini
mum flow , except for irrigating purposes 1
water at any tlmo Is needed for bencficla
purposes down the stream. The Fromon
company stated Its case to the state cnglneo
last week and today the matter was takei
under advlfcomcnt.
D. E. Thompson was present with his at
lorncy , F. M. Rose , during the hearing o
Ihe Omaha side of the case this morning an
interposed a similar objection. Mr. Thomp
son ias filed a claim for permission to ru
an irrigating ditch along parallel with th
Fremont canal , but it Is understood that h
does not Intend to construct the ditch If th
plans for the Fremont canal are carried
through , his object In filing the claim being
to establish priority over other applicants ,
jfibould any come forth.
The Board of Public Lands and Buildings
today accepted the plans drawn by Roberts
& Wood of this city for the now wing of
the Lincoln asylum. The legislature appro
priated J40.000 for the construction of the
addition and the contract price will probably
be $37,000. The architects will receive as
compensation " per cent of the actual cost
of the construction.

OAKLAND , Neb. , July 23. ( Special. )
The wheat harvest In this locality has fairly
begun. In some fields the rust has ma
terially damaged this cereal. However , from
present estimates the average yield will bo
from ten to twenty-five bushels per acre
end of a very good quality. The oat crop
will bo Immense , estimates averaging all
the way from forty to eovcnty-flvo bushels
jior aero. Corn is doing well , the growth
having 'been ' retarded on account of dry
weather. A good rain would insure the
largest corn yield elnco the history of Lo
gan valley's agriculture. The hay crop is
well nigh In stack. The tonnage-acreage
is Immense. Barley and rye arc nearly nil
In etack or threshed. Burt county will
ngaln maintain Its reputation as a fruit
growing county. The apple crop will be
beyond the avcrago and of the finest quality ,
toeing especially free from worms.
WAUSA , Neb , , July 2G. ( Special. ) Har
vesting of barley throughout this section Is
about completed. The yield will bo the
largest In years. The harvesting of the
wheat and oat crops will begin * this week.
All Indications point to this being the ban
ner year for crops in this section. Evidence
of this fact Is seen In the largely Increased
volume of real estate transfers at a big in
crease in price.

About one and one-half Inches of water fell

freshened up the corn very much. Corn
Is now tassellng and will bea very good

BEATRICE , Neb. , July 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The MpubHcans of Gage county held
heir convention hero today and while it has
icen predicted for several days that It would
) o a warm meeting , no one anticipated such
scenes as were witnessed during the two
lours In which It took to secure an organiza
tion. A bitter fight was precipitated by the
close result of the primary Saturday last
n the Scond ward nt Beatrice.
The contenting delegations hero were rep
resented by Colby nnd Pcmborton on one side
nnd I'rout and Sabln on the other , all as
pirants for the county delegation to the
ludlclat convention. The former were aided
in their fight by ex-Senator Murphy and
County Attorney Rlnaker and when they
were defeated by a narrow margin of two ,
filed with the county convention a contest for
the seats of the delegation. Their opponents ,
aided by the possession of credentials'last
night In caucus , got In on the temporary or
ganization.
When the convention convened today the
fight proved to have only begun nnd In the
effort of Colby and his friends to secure seats
i disgraceful row occurred. Motion after mo
tion was fought with bitter determination
to win by both sides , much of the action of
the convention being Test In the continuous
uproar. The aid of the police was finally
Invoked to preserve order , but they were
powerless nnd It was only when the con
testants lost strength or occasionally ac
cepted defeat that the convention vyns able
to proceed.
Charges and counter-charges were made
and for minutes the delegates howled thcm-
slves hoarse in an endeavor to howl down
this or that would-be speaker. When a sem.
bianco of order was finally secured the order
of the cull was proceeded with. Seven bal
lots were taken on a choice for district Judge ,
W. C. Lehnno finally receiving a majority.
The district Judgeshlp disposed of the nom
ination of county officers was taken up. Upon
motion the rules were suspended and 0. W.
Maurer was nominated for treasurer by ac
clamation. Fred Bourne of Beatrice and C.
S. Otis of Blue Springs were brought before
the convention for county Judge. Bourne
was nominated on the first ballot by a vote
of 16S to 80.
For sheriff Ben Skinner , C. W. McCuI-
lough and Jack Ashenfeltcr were voted upon ,
Skinner receiving the nomination on the first
ballot with a large majority over both op
ponents. One iballot settled the district
clerkship , J. A. Weaver receiving 154 to DO
for C. A. Burroughs. For school superin
tendent 'A. ' R. Stoller was nominated by ac
clamation. Three candidates for coroner
were presented , James Lcary , J. Q. Reed
and W. 0. Smith. After two ballots had been
taken , on the last of which Reed was within
ono vote of a nomination , he was , on mo
tion , given the nomination. The nomina
tion of Willis Ball for surveyor completed
the ticket.
A resolution was offered and adopted em
powering'the central committee to fill all
vacancies occurring and the selection of a
chairman was left to the candidates. When
the convention adjourned less than a half
dozen delegates remained In the hall. The
committee to select delegates to the state
convention had not reported , but a motion
was made and carried by the few who had
remained to the effect that their report bo
adopted and bo so certified to by the chair
man and secretary. While the early part
of the convention was bitterly contested and
resulted in many things being said and done
which are doubtless now regretted by all
participants the nominees of the convention
will be elected with old-time majorities.

Over 100 delegates nro expected to bo here

In speaking of the operation of the law In
the eastern states W. M. Comstock , delei
gate from Utlca , N. Y. , said :
We think that the fundamental princi
ples of the law are all right. There are sov-
i I cral sections of the net. however , that
lould be amended. The section of the act
lost urgently In need of amendment Is that
revision relating to Involuntary bank1 1
uptcy. The language of this section Is j
ague nnd offers all kinds of opportunities I
or unscrupulous attorneys to get around the | i
plrlt of the law. Then again some ma- | I
tilncry should bo provided whereby trustees
f Insolvent estates can collect the amounts
uo from debtors. "
