Secretary BcWsher of the Nebraska Grain
Dealer' assoclat on writes to Commissioner

stent follows: j
I find In oomnarlns; the acreage received ',
by me from the rounty clerk of Harlnn
county and that published by vou recentlv
In The He. under date of September 9. 1
that there Is a wide difference In the tig- I
urea all the way through. For Instance. I i
Inclose you my report bk received. Tours
rives the winter wheat acreage :m 4S.IW;
spring. 1.904; corn, ffi.lMi oats, 3.615; rye, I
TjXS. f was In a quandary as to which in ;
the nearest correct. My figures I believe j
to be entirely too high, while yours arc
somewhat low. As 1 am. anxious to have '
our forthcoming report reflect as near the I
true condition as possible could you assist 1
me In arriving at what would be nearlv a j
true estimate? Kindly return the inclosed

I want to compliment you on having is- '
uea a list or acreaje that i ttilnK the

tne say that based on a report made bv us
In May we concluded that the winter wheat
acreage for this state for the year would

ROMINE MAKES HARD FIGHT
Mitchell, eb., Man Accased of Frond

neys la HI Defense.
GERINO. Neb.. Sept. 12 (Special. nr.
James S. Romtne, who was spprehnded
In Massachusetts and brought herd for
trial on three complaints filed In connec
tion with the big department store failure
at Mitchell In this county, has employed
three lawyers here to look after his side
of the case Judge F. G. Hamer of Ketrney,
James L. Mcintosh and W. P. Miles of
Sidney. The prosecution will be bandied
by Ed A. Mann, county attorney, O. W.
Gardner and F. A. Wright, all of this city.
The First National bank of Cbadron Is
Interested In the mstter to the extent of
$11,000 and Is represented here by Judge
A. W. Crltes. A brother of Romtne is here
from Lincoln and Mrr. Roralne accompanies
her husband so far as permitted to do so
by the officers. Besides these, there Is
a swarm of Interested parties from the
wholesale houses, and It is stated that the
mercantile agencies will be represented
by attorneys In the way of pushing prose
cution. As there Is over $40,000 Ini'Olved
In the aggregate lossea, It will be a very
hard fought case. The defendant presents
a very different appearance than when he
was doing business in this county. He for
merly wore wore a full beard and now Is
smooth shaven and would be scarcely rec
ognized by those who knew him well.
Dr. Romtne Is In the county Jail,
guarded by two detectives who arrived here
from Omaha last night. Rumor haa It that
the detectives are sent here for the purpose
of preventing any attempt at esoapo, the
Jail being a rather primitive concern, and
numerous escapes therefrom having been
made In the past.

NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO INJURE THE REST
Kaeept Very I. ate rieeea oa Low
Land fieneral Opinion Is That
More Good Than Harm
la Done.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb.. Sept. 12. (Spe
cial.) A heavy white frost visited this vi
cinity last night, doing some damage to
garden truck, but very little, if any. to
corn, as It will have a tendency to stop Its
growing and make it ripen. The indications
are now that Cass county will raise the
largest and best crop of corn In Its history.
BATTLE CREEK. Neb., Stpt. 13. (Spe
cial.) There was a killing frost last night.
Cannot tell how much damage to corn yet.
FREMONT. Neb . Sept. 12. (Special.)
There was a heavy frost here last night.
It'a effect on the ccrn crop cannot be
definitely lrarned. Early planted corn Is
thought to have been so far matured as to
be uninjured. Some fields of late corn, es
pecially that In low places, will be light
snd not up to grade. No other crops were
hurt. Tbe beet crop is In fine shape and by
next week a big force of men will be at
work harvesting It.
OAKDALE, Neb., Sept. 12. (Special.)
This vicinity was visited by a hard frost
last night, the temperature falling to 28
drgreea. Sixty to seventy per cent of the
corn was out of danger from frost and the
balance was probably not much Injured.

The mercury was down to 28 at o'clock
this morning. Ice formed about of an
inch on watering troughs. A killing frost
fell, killing all tho garden truck. Farmers
think the late corn Is not damaged much,
but if another hard frost should follow in
a day or so It would tend to make the late
corn soft and chaffy.

Tbln Ice formed on standing water. It Is
believed that It waa not sufficient to ma
terially Injure the corn.
GIBBON. Neb., Sept. 12. (Special.)
There was a heavy frost here this morning.
It cannot be told how much damage was
done until tbe sun warms up things. Most
of the corn is all right if tbe frost does not
cut too deep. Haying is hardly begun yet
on th? Platte.
WEST POINT, Neb.. Sept. 12. (Special.)
A heavy frost visited this county last night,
but so far as heard from did net do any ma
terial damage. Corn has matured rapidly

practically out of danger of frost.

night, but It will not do much damage ex
cept to tomatoes. Tbe early corn la
matured enough so that it Is out of danger

affected. Tbe farmers are busy putting in
wheat, but there will not be a very large
acreage aown this year on account of tha
delay in harvesting the present crop.

egram.) The first frost of the season v'a
Ited this vicinity last night and proved to
be very heavy, killing sweet potato and
tomato vlnea In most places, and in some
localities froie a thin coating of ice. Farm-
era who were In the city today say that
nearly all the corn was out of the way
and do not think any waa seriously dam
aged but tbe alfalfa has been prevented
from growing and where It was seeding
will cause it to mature very rapidly.
YORK. Neb., 8ept. 12. (Special.) The
heaviest frost of this year appeared last
night. JuBt what damage waa done to the
corn is not known. Some believe tbat It
will do some damage and others contend
that tbe frost was not heavy enough to
damage the corn to any extent and that It
was of some benefit by causing it to dry
up Quicker.
PENDER. Neb.. Sept. 12. This vicinity
waa visited by a heavy .frost last evening.
BIGSPRINO. Neb.. Sept. 12 Heavy
frost last night killed all vegetation. Tbe

Will Make the Price of Fred
lag leea-Other Con
ditions. WASHINGTON, Sept, 12 Secretary Wll
son, who returned last night from a trip
through the west, today summarised the ag
rh ultural condition tn the states he visited.
These states Included Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He said
there was a great abundance of crops gen
erally In that region.
"There will be a good corn crop," he said
"Corn now is substantially out of the way
of the frost.
Nebraska's Corn Good.
"The corn crops In parta of Kansas, Ne
braska and Indiana are probably tbe finest
on record. There has been more hundreds
of millions of dollars depending on tbe ri
pening of this crop this year than the ordi
nary person has ever realized.
"While the crop is a little lata any danger
of Its failure can now bo considered over.
The crop Is a good one. While it may not
be a record-breaker, the quality of the corn
is splendid and with tbe exception of the
southern states the yield per acre is very
heavy. In the south the drouth has some
what affected the corn crop.
Condition of Wheat.
"The wheat crop of the west this year is
also very fine and what may be considered
as really the most important crop of all
tbe grass crop is exceedingly good.
"The census tells us there has been a
great Increase during the last ten years In
the number of cattle in tbe United States,
This Information, taken together with tba
fine crop of grass, Insures lower prices of
meat. I don't believe the price of meat,
however, will ever be as low aa it has been
in the past for the simple reason that the
American people are more prosperous than
ever before and are eating more meat than
ever before.
"However, the exceedingly high price of
meat will be a thing of the past as soon as
the present feeders get fattened up to a
beef condition. Another thing that will tend
to keep the price of meat a little above the
former lower price Ib the demand of Eng
land for our meats."
CHROMC DIARRHOEA
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy.
"My fatb.tr had for years been troubled
with chronic diarrhoea and tried every
means possible to effect a cure, but all to no
avail," says John H. Zlrkle of Phllippl. W.
Va. "He saw Cbamberlaln'a Colic, Cholera
and Dlarrnoea Kemedy advertised in tne
Republican and decided to try it. The result
Is one bottle of it cured him and he has
not Buffered with this disease for over
eighteen months. Before taking this remedy
he was a constant sufferer. He is now
sound and well and, although 60 year of
age, can do aa much work as a young man.
These are facts and you can uae the above
if you desln." Mr. Zlrkle and his brother
