nelchbor fell way below, it any section
has outdone itself tt Is tho northeastern
countlcH, which, without oxcoptlon, como
up with good crops of all kinds.
Ono thing always a sourco of regret and
dissatisfaction to thoso-who attonipt to col
lect crop statistics Is tho paucity of sources
of Information and tho Incompleteness of
tho work of thoBO who by law aro expected
to collect It. Outsldo of the four leading
cere j Is thoro Is no wny by which an ln
tclllgunt estimate , can o mado of tho
production. In corn, wheat, oats and rye
tho conditions warrant tho assertion that
I ho statistics are aa accurato as In other
states. Tho assessors aro supposed to col
lect tho ocreago of all kinds of crops, but
outsldo of corn, wheat, oats nnd rye they
scarcely make a pretense of doing so. The
statistics on other grains are presented, not
with any claim to their accuracy or com
pleteness, but simply an a basis of opinion
and general Information. The table only
accounts for flfty-slx counties on barley and
fifty-four on potatoes, while on flax and
hay tho allowing Is lamentably weak. The
totals given on theso in tho statement at
thn bead of the column aro made from an
estimate of tho missing counties. It Is also
reasonably certain that tho acreago returns
from tho counties reporting are much be
'ow tho correct totals.
On hay, which Is ono of tho greatest crops
n the stato in point of value, no Intelligent
len cnti bo formed af either tho acreago or
nrnount cut. Slnglo counties In tho west
rn part of tho stato bavo almost as much
my land as tho total returned by tho ns
rssors for tho entlro stato. Another thing
hleh defeats any effort to computo the
"mount' of hay is tho fact that in tho west
ern counties largo areas of tho best of hay
land uro not touched by the mower in
rr' r-jry years when the crop is good.
Hut and Cow Overlooked.
Xwtt of tho greatest sources of revenua in
th Htiite are tho hen and tho cow, but as
in their number or the valuo of their
product absolutely no' reliable data exist on
.which' to baso an estimate, except that
voaft who aro in tho best position to know
ny tho butter, eggn and poultry exceed in
valuo any .crop raised, tf tho state 'with tho
slnglo expeptlon of porn. The dalr,y and
poultry 'Industries' have baon developed
largely within the last few years and it Is
altogether likely thin statement Is corroct.
Sugar beeta and hemp aro also no small
Items of production In tho stato since
factories for working up tho product havo
been erectod.
In tho older sections of tho stato fruit Is
a consldorabln Item, though tho stato ns n
wholo cannot bo said to bo a largo fruit
producer, tho mnjor portion of It being of
too recent development. ,
Cunt .In tlm Kin.
Corn has always' been king In Nebraska
and it Is Oust as :fnr in the lead this year
as ever. Tho total, 241,935,527, Is slightly
below that of last year, but has been ex
ceeded only twice before. The crop is of the
very best quality In all parts of the state
excopt a few counties, where tho yield was
Hmall and tho grain light on account of dry,
hot weather. The average yield per acre
Is 30.1, against 34.S in 1899. Thero is an
increased acroage, however, which accounts
for tho slight falling off In the totals.
Tho valuo of the crop In money is more
than any ever raised In tho state. If con
verted into beef, pork, and mutton tho In
crease In value will bo still more marked.
Tho conditions are extremely favorable for
thus enhancing the value of tho crop.
Geographically Nebraska has n great ad
vantage over other gTeat corn-producing
states. Tho western portion of our own
state und tho great rongos of the states to
too wost can furnish tho feeders to consumo
tho corn and they can be put into the' feed
lot more economically than In states further

in the western portion of the corn belt
whero bay Is plentiful and cheap. Tho east
ern counties, while they feed extensively,
will have more corn to sell.
Whent About the Average.
Wheat was a little abovo the average
yoar In acreage. Last year both the acre
age and yield were light owing to the dam
ago to wlntor wheat, which resulted In the
plowing up of many fields. The yield per
aero is 14.6, against 11.4 in 1699, 17.9 In
1S98 and 17.6 In 189T. Tho crop Is above
the average, though not up to 1898. when,
with a large acreage and heavy yield, it
amounted to 81,081,200 bushels. With the
exception of very limited sections the
quality of the grain Is good.- Almost uni
versally tho quality was reported good at
harvest time, but wot weather In some
srctlons damaged it a little while the grain
was In Bhock. These are of limited area,
however, and for a state the size of Ne
braska It Is seldom that a crop of such
uniform excellence Is harvestod. Another
feature Is that the sections where, the grain
was damaged are not the heavy Avbeat grow
ing counties.
Oata mako the poorest showing of any of
the principal coreals. The average yield per
acre Is 27.3 as against 33.1 In 1899. In some
sections where all other crops were good
oats wero light on account of extroraoly hot
(Namt)
(Tewo.)"'
weather, while the grain was heading out.
Tho stato ns a whole, however, produced
about an average crop of oats. The quality
of tho grain ns a rulo Is good, though
hardly up to tho standard uf some years.
Ityo shows about tho aterago ncreago and
slightly above the average yield, with the
grain of good quality,
IMentr of liny.
Hay Is not so good a crop this year 'as it
has been sometimes, but there is no scarc
ity where it Is the most needed, In tho cat
tle raising and cattle feeding sections. In
tho western part of tho state there is novcr
enough of local growth to supply tho de
mand and In sQmo sections the shortage Is
greater than usuat. In tho cattle country
there are thousands upon thousands of acres
that aro never cut, at least In most sections,
and any falling off In tho yield Is made up
by cutting over a little more ground than
unual. In a large part of the bay produc
ing section tho crop has been a good one.
This Is particularly truo of alfalfa. The
late frost rendered Is posslblo to cut four
crops of alfalfa and tho same condition en
abled farmers and stockmen to cut all the
wild hay desl-ed. Thero Is all tho hoy that
can bo used and more could have been cut
If tho owners of tho land had any Idea It
could bo disposed of. The only dlfferenco Is
that locally, the price will be higher on ac
count of tho sourco of supply being on tho
average further from Omaha.
Potatoes aro tho only crop which amounts
to considerable proportions In which tho
yield Is below tho avomge. Tho extremely
hot weather of the midsummer, followed
by heavy nnd continuous rains, Is respon
sible for this. Tho acreage to about the
samo as usual, but both quantity and qual
ity arc below tho normal.
Live Stock Figure Incomplete,
It Is a lamcntnble fact, but nono tho less
truo, that while llvo stock Is tho princi
pal industry of tho state, thero iu abso
lutely no way of ascertaining tho number
of cattle, hogs, sheep and hursts within
its boundaries, Tho assessor's returns aro
worse than useless as a 'guide. As ono

correspondent put It, "There nro innro

tho ontlre number returned by the
assessor." Thq same condition obtains to
a loss extent in cattle and hogs.
There aTe some legitimate reasonn for
this nnd some that arc not so legitimate.
In the first placo tho assescnr Is only sup
posed to list animals abovo a certain uge,
and, therefore, all the young stock escapes
entirely. In the second place tho as
sessment Is made on April 1. At that date
tho feed lots are empty and only thn etock
cattle remain. The feeders only buy nfter
It Is ascertained what the corn crop Is
going to be and there Is an indication of
the profit to be made In feeding. If the
corn crop is lght only enouxh nri pur
chased to consume It, nnd if conditions In-
uicaio a railing market for cattle feeders
are extremely careful abo-it loading up.
Bo far ns sheep are concornod, outsldo of
tho rango country In tho wostern part of
the state, there are few, except as they
are shipped In for feeding purposes, ny the
time the assessor conies around In April
all tho animals shipped In have been fat
tened and Bhlppod out, Another reaeon for
the small showing Is tho usual one uf lax
dodging, which Is practiced no more nnd
no less than In other lines of property.
Reports from the country end also the
sales of feeder cattlo nt the South Omaha
stock yards show beyond a doubt that the
number of, cattle fed will be up to If not
In excess of any previous year. Tho enles
of feeders have been heavy, the present
and prospective jrrlce of bejf caltlo nnd
tho supply of corn are nil favorable to
heavy feeding and handsome profits to the
men engaged in tho buslnoas, though the
high price of feeder cattle and also crn
caused some to hesitate. Tho receipts at
tho stockyards up to doto have been of tbo
record-breaking sort In -attle nnd the
authorities expect It to continue, t'p to
date tho receipts of hogs havo shown a
slight falling off, but this is iiccounted for
moro perhaps In the diversion of a por
tion of Nebraska hogs to Oloux City and

train this morning, marched through Lon
don, along streets packed by thousands and
received n tumultuous greeting. Such a
demonstration wbb probably never before
evoked for such a small body of volun
teers. The postponement of London's welcome
until today diminished the number of
spectators, but the pnthUBtasm could
scarcely havo- been more general or genu
ine. Burly In the day Queen Victoria sent
a message to the returning troops, wel
coming them and Inquiring as to their
henlth. Tho prince of Wales came to town
and viewed 'the procession from Marlbor
ough house. The other royal personages
watching the tittle band of men In khaki
uniforms were Trlncess Louise, the duch
esss" of Argyle and Prince Edward of
Saxe-Welmar, who with many other dis
tinguished people had taken up positions
of vantage early In the morning. The
clubs In Piccadilly presented an unusual
spectacle. Hundreds of women were at
tho windows, these sacred precincts hav
ing thrown open their doors in honor of
tho great occasion. All along the line of
march thore were festoons of flags and
other such devices, presenting a brilliant
spectacle though, as a matter of fact, the
decorations hac been up since Saturday
and had been drenched with Sunday's rain,
which had not Improved the colors.
In addition to the City Imperial volun
cesslon the bands ot twelve volunteer regi
ments and 24,000' regulars and volunteers
lined the route.
Among tho most Interesting features of
the display vai the presence in the pro
cession of the Invalided City Imperial vol
unteers In carriages Hying tho Red Cross
flag, and tho assemblage at a conspicu
ous point In Fleet street of tho few re
mitting survivors of, the Dalaklava
charge.
The locomotives whlcl drew the City
Imperial volunteers' train from South
ampton were respectively named "Vic
toria," "Roberts," "Powerful" and "The
Maine." To the Inst the Invalids wero en
trusted. Tho exuborant throags proved vn
manngeablo and tho police nnd soldier
woro quite unablo to stem the ugly, rushes.
The crowding ot the populace became so
terrible at the Marblo nroh that the
pooplo broke through the cordon and -when
tho Held was again cleared forty persons
wero left lying on the ground, several of
thorn suffering from serious Injuries.
In narrow Fleot Btreet the crowds broko
down all the barriers and slghtstfers,
soldiers, pollco and City Imperial volun
teers wero mixed, up in a confused mass,
from which the volunteers had to be
finally extricated In single flip.
A fractious cavalry horse stampeded the
crowd at Ludgato circus and fifty persons
vho wero injured had to bo attended to by
the ambulance corps.
Along the wholo length of Fleet street
the scene could only be likened to a
contlr.ual foot ball scrimmage, but It was
even more exciting. Shrieks nnd groans
filled tho air, people wero hurled to the
ground and trampled upon. Life Ouards, on
borsebnrk, were swept off and lost In the
struggling mass of humanity ftor Impotent
struggles to stem the pressure of the seral-panlc-strlckcn
mob. Some of the Injuries
sustained nre 'go severe that It Is feared
they will prove fatal.
Field Marthal Lord WoUeley, commander-in-chief
of the forces, issued a special army
order this afternoon expressing the high
appreciation which the patriotic services
ot the City Imperial volunteers and tho gal
lantry and soldierly qualities of all ranks
had afforded hlrq and offering the volunteers
In brhalf ot the British army a cordial wel

sawed ono bar nt tho bottom, shoving It
out and getting through. In doing this It
Is supposed that they encountered McGov
ern and Wilson, killing one and wounding
the other. Tho escaping prisonors used
their bedding for a rope and swung from
a window. Flanagan succeeded In swing
ing to the roof of a car stablo adjoining,
but Emerson did not make it nnd foil head
long to a pile of rails, crushing his skull.
Tho men must havo left their cell several
hours before the fact was discovered. At
5 o'clock Keeper John Drady, who had been
In the offlco all night, went, as was his
custom, to the malo prison' on the fourth
floor. As he was walking around the cor-
rlder of tier No. 1 ho came across tho body
of Keeper Mcuovern. It lay face down
ward In a pool of blood, with a great
wound In the head. Near by lay the
prisoner Wilson, who wns still groaning.
A surgoon who was called In said McOov
orn had been dead somo time. Ho said
Wilson would probably die. Wilson is 69
years old and for two years has been in the
prison solf-commltted, as he had no home.
Ho acted as a "trusty" and had the con
fidence of tho officers. They believe he
was hurt whllo aiding McQovern.
Emerson was under ball of 3,000 on two
charges ot burglary, Flanagan, who had
been omployed as a steward in a fashion
able restaurant, also was under heavy ball
for burglary.
It is the belief of tbo attaches of the
prison that a woman Is at the bottom of
tho whole trouble, and that It was she who

a woman, whose name Is not known, came
to tho prison Saturday evening to see the
prisoner Kmerson and It Is thought that
It vas at that time she smuggled In the

time secured a lawyer for Emerson.
When the body of Keeper McQovern was
scarchod It was found that his keys and
rovolver had been taken from him. Neither
tho keys nor the rovolver were found in
the pockets of tho dead prisoner, which
leads to tho belief that they aro In the

When Emerson was taken to the police

October 13, he removed his shoes and then
called Doorman Coghlan to the cell. Tho
tatter answered the call, and as he opened

Mr. Erastus A. Ben
son, President of the
Omaha Real Estate
Exchange, writes: "I
tried Dr. Kay's Lung
Balm for a severe cold,
as did my neighbor,
Mr, W. L. Selby, and
the rssult was quite re
markable. The effect
i
was so quick I would
not have trusted my
senses had not Mr.
Selby's experience
been the same."

At (bis Heusou of the year
DH. KAY'S LUNG BALM
should be constantly nt hand.
Get a 10c tin box, just fitted to
tho pocket. Jt will cure a cold
and stop a coiigh. Have it in
your pocket or bag. If your
throat tickles, you wet your
feet or clothing let one of the
tablets dissolve slowly in your
mouth and you will feel no ill
effects from the exposure. If
you are exposed to a draft or a
sudden change in the weather
causes you to take cold, prompt
ly take one of Dr. Kay's Lung
Bulm tablets from your little
handy vest pocket box. Your
cold will quickly and without
your knowledge disappear.
Many a long winter's sickness
and large doctor's bill starts
with a slight exposure. La
grippe, pneumonia, a lingering
cough or buck start this 'ay.
Dr. Kay's Lung Halm prevents
all this. You cai get it at your
druggist.
lo nof take a substitute! no rasttcr
who tells you Home othrr rpnn;dy Is
Just ns Rood. Insist upon trying Dr.
Kny's LutiR Itnlm. Jt lins no equnl.
