LINCOLN. July 12. (Special Tele
gram. Superintendent Beghtol of the
boys' lodiMtrlal school at Kearney ht
discontinued the services of the chaplain
In that Institution and arranged to have
the place supplied by local ministers.
This chance Is partially In keeping with
his policy of retrenchment and partially
' because better results can be attained
than with one man in the place. It has
been erroneously reported that the reli
gious serTlcea at the school are to be dis
continued. The superintendent has not
done this, but on the contrary has made it
possible for the boys to have the advan
tare of Christian teaching of the various
denominations.
The case 'of Lloyd Chapman of York

Nebraska Section Climate and Crop 6erv
Ice of the Weather Bureau Crop bulletin
for the week ending July 21, 1902: The last
week, as a whole, was cool and wet. The
dally mean temperature has averaged I
degrees below the normal in eastern coun
ties and 6 degrees below in western.
The rain occurred principally In heavy
thunder showers Thursday night and Fri
day; the amount exceeded one Inch in most
of the eastern counties and ranged from two
to six Inches in a number of southeastern
counties.
The first four days ot the week were hot
and dry, exceedingly favorable for all agri
cultural Interests. Some progress was
made In stacking and threshing wJteat;
however, little could be done In the eastern
counties the last days ot the week, because
of the heavy rain. The winter wheat
harvest is about completed; a small amouut
of wheat in the southeastern counties on
low, wet land has not and probably will
not be cut. Oats have been further In
jured by the showers of the week; the
harvest of oats is in progress In southern
counties. Corn has grown well; the cul
tivation of corn Is about finished, because
corn Is getting so large; the cultivation
was less than usual and many fields are
rather weedy; however, corn is In a very
promising condition, except In the rela
tively small acreage where It has been dam
aged by the heavy tains; early corn is tas-
sellng and silking. Potatoes are a large
crop, but there are some complalnta of rot
ting. Apples are abundant and promise a
gocd crop.

CROPS IN JIMRIVER VALLEY
Small Grain Metering- Rapidly and
Corn Making: Splendid Growth,
Thonaxh Little Backward.
HTJRON, S. D., July 22. (Special.)
'Magnificent" Is what an Illinois man said
this morning when speaking of crops In
this part of South Dakota. With a party
of five he had traveled over the country
with a team for a radius of from seventy
five to 120 miles, with Huron a few mllos
to the southeast of the center. These men
are buying land and took special pains to
Investigate crop conditions, and the ver
dict of the company Is aa above ex
pressed.
A week of favorable weather, with co
pious showers the latter part of the week
over most ot the Jim river valley, has
tended to push the small grain 'crop to
ward maturity. Barley and rye the ear
tier sown will be ready for harvest the
present week, and that work will be
pushed aa rapidly as possible In order to
get these crops garnered before the wheat
s ready for the sickle. A little rye has
been cut and the quality, like that of bar
ley, ie exceptionally good.
The wheat heads are also very heavy
and unusually uniform, In size and
so tun innt ins aerneis crown eacn oiner
for room. Oata are of the best and the
acreage Is larger than heretofore.' The
crop gives fine promise and Is almost ma
tured. Some report that It is ripening:
unevenly and that It will he necessary to
cut It quite green. This, however, Is. not
the general condition of the crop.
Corn la making; rapid growth, and while
a little backward because of cool weather.
It give promise of early maturity. Many
fields are wqerty because of continued wot
weather, but altogether the outlook Is ex
ceedingly encouraging. ,Flax, millet and
potatoes are as fine as could be desired.
The potato crop will be large, as frost was
less harmful than at first supposed.
Small fruit Is the best ot any yet grown
lo the Jim river valley berries, currants,
plums and a fair crop of apples included
In this class.
HER NIGHT RIDE OF NO AVAIL
Woman Makes Gallant Effort to File
on Land, bnt Male Opponent
Beeares the Title.
RAPID CITT, 8. D., July 22. (Special.)
At the Rapid City land office Saturday ot
last week occurred a "simultaneous home
stead entry," that is, two applicants filed
on the same piece of land at the same
time.
When the doors of the United States
land office opened for business on that
day there were two people standing at the
threshold waiting for admission, a man and
a woman. The man stepped up to the desk
and said that he wanted to make his home
stead 'filing on a certain piece of land
about seventy-five miles east of Rapid
City, giving the description of the claim,
As soon aa the woman could be heard she
stated that she wished to file on the same
piece of ground.
To all Intents and purposes both en
tries had been made simultaneously, and
under a ruling of the land office In Wash
lngton, In such a esse the land Is put up
at auction, only the persons making tho
filing being allowed to bid, and It is given
to the highest bidder. In this Instance
the nan won, he paying a premium ot $60
for the land.
Each had made a night ride on horse
back to file on the land, and had ridden
side by aide tor the greater part of the
distance. It seemed hard for the woman
to lose the land after she had made such
a gallant effort to secure It, and the sym
pathy of the officials and the spectators
to the contest in the land office were with
her.
