Small Grala Being Damaged la Some
Parts of state.
LINCOLN, Nob., July 7.-(SpeclaO It has
rained every day this week. The ground
Is soaked. Corn is weedy and small. The
worms are ruining some fields on the low
lands on account of It being too cold.
Wheat and oats are making a rank growth,
but are badly lodged, and rust la starting
In both. Rye harvest has begun and wheat
harvest will commence next week, but If
the weather does not clear up It will be
Impossible to save It.
YORK, Neb.. July 7.-(Spedal.-The
farmers are commencing to complain of
the excessive rain and soms re alarmed
as to harTC;Ung their grain, which prom
ised to be the largest crop of small grain
in the history of the county. At present
It Is Impossible for the farmers to go into
the harvest fields, although many fields
have commenced to ripen. Prospects for a
good corn crop were never better. A few
fields are weedy owing to the excessive
rains during the spring and summer. All
kinds of tame hay, timothy, clover, bromo
and alfalfa are making wonderful growth.
PAPILLION, Neb.. July 7.-(Speelal.)
The Incessant rains during the past few
days have thoroughly soaked the ground.
rendering the cultivation of crops Impos
sible. Some fields of small grain are ready
to harvest, but farmers are unable to go
Into them owing to the softness of the
ground. The cool weather Is Injurious to
the corn Crop, which Is badly In need of
warm weather. Corn In western Sarpy, to
the extent of a considerable strip,, was
somewhat damaged by hall recently, al
though It is not thought It will be .perma
nently affected. Potatoes give promise of
an Immense crop and of excellent quality.
SCHUYLER, Neb , July 7. (Special.)
Rain has fallen here during nearly every
night the past week, the total fall during
the time amounting to about three Inches.
The ground is thoroughly saturated, much
to the' detriment of everything but grass,
but more particularly to small grain, which
Is beginning to ruat, and much of which la
badly lodged. From many localities there
come reports of damaging work done by an
Insect of some sort In the wheat. The
effects of the work show first in the head
of the wheat the top dying first, the
whitening gradually working downward
and leaving the heads with practically
nothing In them.
EDGAR, Neb., July 7. (Special.) Wheat
harvest began here Tuesday, July 5. The
weather has been wet for the past three
weeks and all kinds of farm work has
been seriously retarded. Wheat Is rusting
and will be a light crop at best, and If the
weather keeps so wet much of It will bo
ruined before It can be 'harvested.
BEATRICE, Neb., July 7.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Because of heavy rains the last
few days along the Blu valley railroad
trafflo on the Union Pacific between here
and Manhattan, Kan., Is badly Impeded
and trains are running behind time. The
wet weather bas Caused black rust to make
its appearance in many wheat fields and
many farmers are of the opinion that the
crop Is ruined In places. A number were
In the city today and offered to- turn over
the crop to ths persons who would stand
for the expense of harvesting It Oats
and grass look fine, but - dry weather Is
badly needed for crops of all kinds..
CAMBRIDGE, Neb., July 7. (Special.)
The heaviest rain of the season fell here
last night, 1.40 Inches.
FREMONT, Neb., July 7. (Special.) It
has rained here at Intervals during the last
three days until the ground Is thoroughly
soaked. Wheat and oats are suffering con
siderable damage. On the bottoms corn Is
seedy and It Is too wet to plow It- The hay
crop will be large. The rain has fallen
slowly, consequently It has settled without
flooding the low places.
GREELEY, Neb., July 7 (Special. )-A
heavy rain Is falling here today and for
the first time In years farmers are com
plaining of too much rain In June and
July. The ground Is thoroughly soaked and
the small grain crop assured.

shot fired and then shs fainted. She was
absolutely sure that Carr was the man.

the revolver soon after the shot was fired
and noticed Best lying on the ground.
Albert O'Donnel also testified to seeing
Carr do the shooting and said that only
about four feet separated Best and Carr
and that Carr did not aim deliberately but
raised the gun and shot at once.
County Attorney Patrick said he had
other witnesses who would corroborate the
above testimony but as It was all In the
same line he would dispense with It for
today. There waa only one very Impor
tant witness who failed to appear today
and it was decided to adjourn the Inquest
until tomorrow morning at 9:30 when the

WEST POINT. July 7 -The fate of Dom
inic Braida, sr.. the o'd man who has tepn
missing since Monday night, Is so far In
doubt. Searching parties have been con
stantly working without any result. The
grounds of the park have been thoroughly
gone over and the water taken out of the
mill race, but the body has not yet been
discovered. It Is believed that the unfor
tunate man has fallen into the river and
the body wsshed downstream. A mass
meeting of citizens was held last night an 1
large subscriptions secured to pay the ex-
tnse or searcninp. ana iinerai rewarus
have been offered for the recovery of the
