Ini; whether In 'he opinion of thin depart

All the provisions of the statute cited
refer In express terms to tho clerk of the

cept one. That execution Is obviously h
mlstako of some legislative clerk or copy

selecting and appointing Judzes and clerks
of election, nnd that those olllcers must
bo uuuolnted bv tho oWk of the district
court.". I hikvc the liouoi to remnlns, yours

Gold Fields.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., Aug. 20. Special.)
Humboldt people were shocked this morn
ing to learn that Will Bracclen, one of the
party of fortune hunters who left here three
years ago for the Klondike, had perished
In tho wreck of the steamer Islander off
the Alaskan coast. The Information so far
Is meager, but authentic, and comes from
Bracclen's traveling companion nnd partner,
Ed Dentils, to his brother, John Dennis, who
returned several weeks ago from the gold
fields. The message was dated Juneau,
Alaska, nnd forwarded from Vancouver Au
gust 19 nnd reads:
John Dennis. Ilubnldt. Neb.: Been In
wreck: Inlurtd some; will remnln 11 few
days to try and recover Bracelet!' body.
ED DENNIS,
The case Is a particularly sad one, as the
young man Is the eldest of a faintly of
eight children and for many years was the
main support of his widowed mother, Mrs.
Sarah Bracelen, in the rearing and educat
ing of her family. Most of the children arc
now grown, however, the eldest brother
being Prof. Charles M. Bracelen, last year
principal of the public schools at Blair, and
two sisters being teachers In local schools.
During his stay In the Klondike Bracelen
became part owner of a valuable claim and
has sent home considerable money. In his
last letter ho expressed tho intention of
following soon and no word wns heard until
this morning's message. It Is known that
ho Intended bringing home considerable of
his savings, but, of course, unless tho body
Is recovered this may be lost.
Ono pathetic feature of the case Is that
each morning since the receipt of the last
letter, the mother has kept a warm break
fast for the homecoming of her son, nnd
each morning when the Portlnnd train has
pulled In ono might have seen her out at
tempting to catch a glimpse of the returning
traveler.

A bunt Over,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The . weather
bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions
Is as follows. Tho temperature conditions
of tho week have been favorable, except on
tho north Pacific coast, where It has been
excessively warm. The middle and south At
lantic and east gulf states. Including Ten
nessee, have suffered from heavy rains, the
south Atlantic and east gulf states and
Tennessee experiencing damaging wlndi
as well as Injury from overflows. Tho grent
er part of Texas and portions of the Mis
souri valley and portions of tho upper Mis
sissippi valley and uppor lake regions con
tinue to suffer from drouth and drouth Is
beginning to affect crops in Oregon and
Washington. Tho Rocky mountain region
and California have had an exceptionally
favorable week.
A very general Improvement In the condi
tion of late corn In Indicated In the prin
cipal corn states. In Iowa the crop Is ma
terially Improved and more promising than
was deemed possible August 1, but the
yield is still contingent on additional mois
ture very soon nnd the ahsenco of frosts
the greater part of September.
.ehrnakn anil Knnaiin Corn.
Tho late corn has Improved In extreme
southeastern Nebraska, but still continues
to sillier for rain In central and northern
counties.
In the eastern and western portion of
Kansas late corn Is much Improved, but In
the central counties rain came too lato
to suvo tho crop. In some portions of Mis
souri Into corn Is progressing well, but
In most sections It Is suffering for rain.
Good rains 1 Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
havo Improved the outlook, especially In
Indiana, but as In other portions of the
corn belt, the greater part of the early corn
has been ruined. The propitious outlook for
corn In the mlddlo Atlantic states and New
England continues.
The weather has been favorable for spring
wucui narvesi in an sections, llnrvostlng
Is nearly finished in tho Dakotas, Mlnne
sola und Oregon and Is In progress la Wash
ington, where, owing to excessive heat,
tho grain has ripened somewhat too rapid
ly, in North Dakota, owing to shrunken
berry and pnrtlully filled peas, the yield of
spring wheat Is proving disappointing.
Cotton, Tobacco anil Apple.
Tho central and caBtern portions of the
cotton belt have suffered from heavy rains.
while drouth has become more serious over
tho greater part of the western districts.
In Tennessee. Mississippi nnd portions of
Arkansas tho crop has Improved. Cotton
needs rain throughout Texas and Is falling
rapidly in the central, southern and south
western portions. licking Is general In
Texas nnd Is beginning over the southern
and central portions of the eastern dis
tricts. Tobacco has sustained lnJuryfrom rains
In portions of Marylaid, Virginia, North
Carolina and Tenncsseo, but has.beca great
ly benefited In tho last named state as w,ell
as In the Ohio valley, where cutting Is In
progress.
The general outlook for apples continues
very unpromising, although slightly Im
proved conditions are reported from por
tions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, Tho
excessive raln. have caused peaches to rot
extensively In tho middle and south At
lantic states.
Generally to the east of the Mississippi
river the soli is favorable to plowing, nnd
favorable work In this lino has been made
In Kansas, Nebraska nnd Oklahoma, but In
tho upper Mississippi valley the ground
Is generally too dry.

Lovcland, Nebraska section director of the
climate and crop service of the government
weather bureau, issues this weekly crop
bulletin:
(riieral Summary.
i Tho last week has been warm and dry.
The dally mean temperature nvcraged 3 de
grees above the normal In northern coun
ties, nnd 1 degree In western. The maxi
mum temperatures for tho week have
been slightly above 90 degrees.
Italn lias fallen only In scattered show
ers, generally so light as to be of little
benefit. Tho rainfall Iwb exceeded an Inch,
however. In parts of Cass, Thayer, Hamil
ton and Merrick counties.
Late corn hns Improved In condition In
tho southeastern counties, but more rain Is
now needed In most of the stnte. Late corn
Is caring befer than was expected, but will
need moisture and absence of frost until
the last of September to mature. Haying
has progressed well In northern counties,
where the crop Is generally abundant. Con
siderable plowing has been done In south
ern counties, nnd all Indications are that a
largo ncreage will be sown to winter wheat
this fall nnd that It will be sown farther
north and west thnn has been customary.
Very little plowing has been done In cen
tral and northern counties, ns the ground
Is still too dry to plow to advantage. PaB
tures have improved slightly, but are still
dry. Early peaches are small In size; Into
peaches have been Improved some by tho
recent rnlns.
Snntlie-tntrrn Section.
Late planted corn has Improved In condi
tion In the eastern counties because of the
rains of last week. In the central and
western portions of the section the im
provement Is less marked, while In some
places the late corn Is now In need of
more rnln. The most marked Improvement
hai. occurred In Cass, Nemnha, Johnson
nnd Richardson counties, while In Butler
and Polk and thence southward the change
has been slight. Italn has placed the
grojnd In good condition for plowing In
most of the section, and rapid progress
has been made with tho work. Tbero Is
every prospect that a large acreage of win
ter wheat will be sown, especially In tho
western portion of this section. Fruit Is
generally small; late peaches have been
benefited by the ruins, but early peaches
will bo small In size.
Virthenatcrn Section.
Corn hns had sufficient moisture In Knox.
Cedar and parts of Wayne and Thurston
counties. In the other counties south
ward to the Platte river the dry weather
has affected corn unfnvornbly. Tho week
has been exceptionally favorable for
threshing and haying, and rapid progress
has been made with this work. Very little
plowing has been done, as the ground Is
too dry to plow to advantage.
Central Section.
Corn has generally Improved somewhat,
but more rain would be beneficial. Haying
has progressed nicely; the crop Is good In
the northern portion of the section, nnd
below average In tho southern portion,
Somo plowing has been done, nnd there Is
a probability thnt more winter wheat will
be sown than usual In the southern portion
of tho section. Pastures have Improved.
.South weatcrn Section.
Heavy rains In llnyos, Hitchcock, Dundy.
Chase and Perkins counties have Improved
lato corn, all forage crops, and pastures.
In the eastern counties of the section the
rnln was less and the change In condition
very slight.
Weatern nnd .Vortbeptern Section,
A large crop of hay Is being secured In
prime condition. Tho pastures and ranges
nre getting dry, hut are fair feed still.
Corn In the northern portion of Hock and
Brown counties Is doing nicely.
