Tho laHt week has been hot and dry, with
much high south wind. Tho dally mean
temperature has averaged about 5 degrees
above tho normal nnd tho maximum tem
perature at most places has been ninety
degre.es or above on each day of tho week.
Practically no rain fell until tho night
of tho 5th, when scattered showers occurred
In tho central nnd western portions of the
state. These showers were Generally light,
measuring less than ono-half nn Inch of
water, but In portions of Cherry nnd Oar
flcld counties more than nn Inch fell.
Tho last week has boon favorablo for
stacking, threshing and haying, but rather
unfavorable for corn. Stacking Is mostly
doue In central nnd southern counties.
Corn generally hns grown well, but moro
rain would be beneficial in most pnrts of
the stato and in parts of some central and
western counties corn has been damaged
by this week's heat and drought. Good
progress has been made with fall plowing,
lthough In places the ground Is petting
rather dry to work well. Tho dry weather
nd high wind of tho week havo been un
favorable for fruit.

of ex-Secretary of Stato Caleb Powers to
day developed that both sldoa In tho caiie
arc dealing extensively In contradiction
and Impeachment of some of the witnesses
who have testified.
Tho most Important testimony henrd to
day was given by Corporal MIlt.Traspcr
of tho military company nt Ilarhourvlllo,
of which Caleb Powers' brother was cap
tain. Traspor gavo testimony Indicating
that tho shot which killed Gocbel was
fired from tho third story of tho execu
tive building and not from tho secretary of
state's office, which was on tho first floor.
Ho declared thnt ho and other members of
tho military company had been in Frank
fort since Mny 25, under secret orders from
Governor Taylor.
At tho afternoon session of the court
tho defense further sought to contradict
tV. 11. Culton by introducing two witnesses
who testified that Culton told them ho
find an agreement with the prosecutor by
which ho was not to bo confined In Jail.
Culton on the stand dented thnt ho ever
mado such a statement and It was also
proved thnt ho has been conllned in Jail
since his examining trial.
Will Try to Cniitrmlli't Moiic.
Tho prosecution todny wus granted a
subpoenn duces tecum on Stato Auditor
Coulter requiring hlra to bring his recordu
Into court. This is done to contradict the
testimony of ex-Auditor Samuel Stone, who
te-stllled that he discharged W. H. Culton In
December and charied him with stealing
$1,000. Te oros'viitloii expects to show by
tho record ift "ttlton wan paid his salary
In both Decern! i nnd January nnd by other
witiicsscfl to pi vo thnt since that date
Stono recommenue I Culton to various
people as being entirely trustworthy. Tho
defense asked and was granted n forthwith
attachment against E. E. Hogg, Culton's
brother-in-law and attorney, who had been
subpoenaed but failed to appear as a wit
ness. W. J. Lewis of Frankfort was the first
witness heard today. He said that Ooehel
fell at least ten feet from tho spot marked
by tho prosecution as the point.

Oeorgo L. Barnes, who waB a clerk In the
stato auditor's ofllce. said that on tho dny
of tho shcotlng he was at tho capltol grounds
nnd heard several persons Bay tho guilty
parties wore being concealed in the execu
tive building and It ought to bo blown up.
Dames said that after ho went back Into
tho executive building he smcllcd smoko
which be supposed was the result of the
shots. Ho saw Wblttaker arrested by n
party of citizens. They took several pistols
from him. Prior to tho nssasslnntlon wit
ness saw a Martin rifle In the vault at the
auditor's olllco. It formerly belonged to
Henry Youtscy, but at tho time of the shoot
ing It belonged to Frank Roberts, who has
since been appointed a clerk In the census
bureau at Washington. Ho does not know
where tho rifle Is now. Witness talked with
Roberts about the disappearance of tho gun,
but tho court ruled that he could not detail
the conversation, neither Powers nor Yout
sey belug present when the conversation oc
curred. J. H. Hurst of Corbln testified he was In
Frankfort several times In January. The
last tlmo he went was with the mountaineers
on January 23. Moro than half of the rAen
wore armed. He contradicted several of tho
statements of Robert Noakes. He de
clared that the men In tho mountain army
worn nverage mountain citizens nnd closed
by stating thnt ho had himself been u dele
gate to the republican national convention,
In answer to a question witness said he
saw ex-Governor Taylor at tho Philadelphia
convention. Hurst admitted that he him
self ;d been Indicted nnd tried for forgery
at Knoxvllle, Tcnn. He wns asked con
cerulug another alleged forgery at Plne-
vllle, but tho defense objected.
Tho court allowed tho question to be nn
swered nnd the witness admitted thnt he wni
charged with the crime, but that there was
no prosecution.
Tnylor SiirprUoit tty Shot.
State Senator George II. Alexander of
Louisville testified that he was In Governor
Taylor's private olllco talking to the gov
ernor when tho shooting occurred. There
was one shot, sharp and loud, nnd four oth
ers which were dull and muflled, ho said
The witness did not remember whnt Gov
ernor Taylor 6ald when they heard the shots,
but bollevcd the governor mado somo ex-
clnmntlon of surprise. Senator Alexander
saw several rough looking men In tho ante
room of the governor's olllco when ho first
went In.
John PerklnB, the negro porter In the nd
Jutant general's offlce, said he was In that
olllco whon tho shooting occurred. "Tallow
Dick" Combs and Mason Hockersmlth, the
former of whom is Indicted as an accessory
wero In tho ofllce nt that tlmo. About seven
minutes after the shooting witness went to
tho arsenal with a messago from Assistant
Adjutant General Dixon calling out tho
troops. For several days prior to the aB
sasslnatlon n large number of armed moun
tain men slept In the building at night and
loafed there during the day. About the samo
number wero quurtered In tho executive
building.
W. II. Culton was reculled and asked If bo
bad not said to Captain D. II. Wnlcutt that
ho had a written contract with the prosecu
tlon by which he wns to confess and recelvo
Immunity. Ho denied that he made the
statement to Wnlcutt or anybody else. Wal
cutt was then recalled for the purpose o
contradicting Culton. He testified that Cul
ton did mnku the statement.
C. O. Reynolds also sworo that Culton
made a similar statement to him.

Milt Traspor of Knox county, one of tho
mountnln men who arrived at Frankfort on
January 23, said ho was In the houso clunk
room looking nut of a window toward tho
executive building when tbu shooting oc
curred. Ho saw a wluduw upon the thlr
floor of the executlvo building, heard th
Bhots nnd saw smoke, but could not see
cither man or gun. Witness did not go up
into the executlvo building for over nn hou
after tho shooting. Ho claimed that h
found two boxes, ono upon tho other, near
the window ho had noticed when the shots
wero fired. Cross-oxnmlned. the witness
snld ho was n member of John Powers' mil
Itary company. The latter sent for him o
January 21 and told him ho had secret or
ders from Governor Taylor to bring his mil

A careful review of the bus'lncss done by
the packing houses of South Omaha shows
that, from thb point, the principal coun
tries of the world are supplied with canned
meats and supplies of ft like kind. The re
cent oriental wnrs have greatly Increased
this foreign trade and It has become an Im
portant factor with the packers. While sta
tistics could not bo obtained yesterday when
tho general managers of the packing houses
cro seen, It wns plain that tho amount of
meat that Is now being exported Is enor
mous. Manager Krledcr of the Cudahy plant said
esterday that they wero supplying canned
meats for the Orient, to bo used presumedly
by tho Jnpnncso array, and that from tlmo
to time England wns furnished with certain
hlpments to bo used both in the Chinese
ar and tho war In South Africa. Tho
principal shipments are now being made
from San Francisco, General Manager
oyes of the Hammond Packing company
enld thnt the United States nrmy In tho
hlllpplnes and In China wns eating Ham
mond ments nnd that shipments were being
regulnrly made. Tho company has furnished
ngland with meats nnd shipments have
been made to nlmost every quarter of the
globe.
Manager Howe of Armour's snld that his
houso furnished pnrt of tho supplies for the
United Stntes nrmy In the Philippines and
n Cuba and that recent shipments had been
mado to China, but ho could not tell by
hom those were to be used. He snld that
they now had a large foreign business nnd
that It wns dally Increasing. Ha could not
glvo a detailed account of the amount be
ing shipped, but snld these exports were nl
most ft dally occurrence now, with both them
nd several of tho other packing houses.
Tho Omaha Packing company does not
deal In canned meats and for this reason Its
exports do not como up to thoso of the
ther houses of tho city. However, It hns
recently mnd shipments of lard and gen-
ral supplies to both Hong Kong and Ma
lm. The Chlncso government Is being sup-
piled with canned ments by Swift and largo
tally shipments nro being made by them.
This represents nn enormous nmount of pro-
Islons, Tho English nrmy in the South
African campaign is eating more or less
meats thnt aro being prepared by Swift.
Shipments nro also being made to tho
United Stntes troops in the Philippines and
Chlnii,
While, tho amount that each of tho pack
ing houses is exporting could not bo atcer-
alnod, nil of the general mnnagers admit
ted that It is on a largo scale. South Omaha
s furnishing Its share, and possibly more
thnn tho average packing house towns of
tho United States.

LONDON, Aug. 7. In tho Houso of Com
mons today Mr. Benjamin Lewis Cohen, con
servative member for the east division of
Islington, naked the chancellor of tho ex
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, tho rea
son for the early closing of subscriptions
for exchequer bonds. The chancellor said
tho lists wero closed ns soon as tho bonds
had been subscribed for. Ho had received
an offer from tin Anglo-American houso to
place half tho Issue In America on tho same
conditions as Issued here. This, he added,
nssured tho success of tho loan, nut there
waa another reason. Last Thursday the re
servo of the Dank of England stood at the
lowest point for years and ho wns advised
that groat relief might be afforded here by
tho movement of gold from the United
States if a large part of this loan (10,
000,000) was taken there.

Mltht.
At 2 o'clock yesterday Thomas Hoc
tor drove to the residence of Judge Sin
baicgh, Forty-first and Davenport strcots,
and hammered violently nt the door. With
tho butt of his heavy South Omaha whip
he held tho Judge's bulldog at bay until
tho court made Us appearance In scanty
nttlro. Hoctor explained thnt Frank
Koutsky, treasurer of South Omaha, had
secured tho approval of his bond Monday
night In his cx-olllclo capacity as treasurer
of the school board. Tho midnight visitant
feared that Koutsky would pay warrants
In such amounts that thero would bo noth
ing left with which to purchase tho Hoo-
tor school slto. Judge Slabaugh granted n
restraining order returnable boforo Judge
Keysor on Saturday.
Tho restraining order Is directed partlc
ularly against tho pnymont of warrants
amounting to $11,711.90, drawn In favor of
McDonald & Dock, contractors, who erected
the Jungmnn school In tho Second ward.
Tho petition recites that when tho contract
wns entered Into and tho warrants issued
there were no fundB In the treasury to
meet tho expenditure. It Is held, there
fore, that tho warrants are illegal and
void. A tomporary injunction was pleaded
for, but tho court would go no further than
to grant u restraining order.
Mr. Hoctor's attorney explained this
morning thnt there was no Intention of cut
ting off McDonald & Rock from any recom
penso which might bo rightfully theirs,
Tho contractors still have recourse to tho
courts. Hocor believes tho warrants to
be Illegal, however, and has taken this step
to protect his own Interests, Thoro Is now
$70,000 In tho school treasury of South
Omaha and nearly $30,000 In warrants are
outstanding with which no legal fault can
be found. Thcso tire presumably being
paid tday. Hoctor wishes to save n rem
nant of tho school funds In tho ovent that
he should como out winner In the suit
brought ngalnst tho school board with re
latlon to him by Joseph Onrlow nnd other
taxpayers. This caso Is now ponding In
Judgo Keysor's court, tho taxpayers con
tending that tho board cannot legally pur
chaso n school slto offered by Hoctor for
$9,000. It Is held that no funds exist with
which to dlschargo tho obligation.
This Is the second midnight alarm which
has disturbed Judge Slabuugh's housohold
within a week. Tonight the Judgo leaves
on a fishing trip nnd will bo sato from the
clutches of Injunction hunters.
