Well, that rain did settle It! ThlR morn
ing tho Nebraska corn crop In ns safe as
though It were nlready In the crib nnd tho
chinch bug nnd grasshopper statesmen are
looking for another Issue.
Yesterday Omaha got Its share of tho rain
that has been going about over the state
ever since Friday, and a right bountiful
share It was, too. During the afternoon up
till 7 o'clock, tho hour for tnklng the offi
cial observation, 2.6 luchrn had fallen here.
From 7 till 9 o'clock nearly ns much more
ell.
Indications nre that tho storm was gen
eral In Its nature. It Is certain that north
ern Nebraska for more thaa 500 miles back
from tho river was drenched, nnd It Is
equally ccrtnln that the central part of the
stato received a soaking. Mttlo has been
heard from the southern portion of tho
stnte, but the general trend of the Htorni In
dicates that the southern section will get Its
share, If It hasn't nlready.
It n I ii Wan Mont Timely.
That the rain was timely there Is no doubt.
There had been three days of very hot
weather, with a high wind from tho south,
nnd the dcBslcatlng effects of this could not
have been much longer withstood. Indeed,
nervoUH people were nlready apprehensively
watching tho clouds and fears of tho repeti
tion of 1S94 wero being expressed. Poli
ticians who thrive when the public Is In dis
tress were gleefully anticipating u disaster
that would give weight to their calamity
cries and were looking forward to n triumph
based on tho ruin of the Ncrbaska farmer.
Hut Providence has ordered otherwise, and
ono of thoe good old "million-dollar" rains
has blessed tho whole section of the west
from which the great corn crop Is sent to
the world In all Its varied shapes. Ne
braska Is nil right nnd the Nebraska farmer
as ho watched his eavespouts gush torrent3
or rainwater yesterday, renewed his faith
lu the great state, and this morning he can
look out over wide fields of proudly waving
corn, whoso broad blades shlno Ilka the
banners of tho mighty army of contented
prosperous people they represent. Corn Is
nafe, potatoes nre sufu, there will be plenty
ot fall pasture and Nebraska's people will
have euough to Hvo on and something to
sell.
