Interviews with farmers who have come to town since the terrible rain, wind and thunder storm ot Sunday night, or rather Monday murning. finds none but that is Jubilant and happy.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT IIMMARV Winter Wheat Shows the Effects of l a favorable Conditions. WASHINGTON, July 12. The Weather bureau's weekly summary of crop con ditions la aa follows: Unseasonably cool weather has contin ued In the states of the Missouri valley and over the western part of the upper lake region, but elsewhere the temperature has been very favorable. Heavy rains have prevented cultivation of crops and greatly Interfered with harvesting in the lower Missouri, central Mississippi and Ohio valleys and in portions of the mid dle Atlantic states and lake region, and much grain in shock has been damaged in Oklahoma, Kansaa and Missouri. Por tions of the south Atlantic states and north central Texas need rain, and in tho southern plateau districts severe drouth continues. Drouth also prevails In the coast districts of Washington and Oregon, where crop prospects have been materially lessened. Over the greater part of the corn belt corn has made vigorous growth but continuous rains have prevented cultiva tion and much of the crop Is weedy. In the northerly dlstricta corn Is g-en- erany uacKwara, dui nas advanced de cidedly during the last week.- In the mid. die Atlantic states, the rron has marlai ex. ceMent progress and Is In very promising UOIUllllUU. Winter wheat has sustained errant dnm age from continuous heavy rains in Ne braska Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, where the unharvested grain waa seriously damaged by rust and lodging, and that in the shock by molding and sprouting. Har vesting was aiso greatly Hindered by un favorable weather In the districts east of the Mississippi river,. where the conditions, however, were much more serious than in the states of the lower Missouri valley. Harvesting has continued under favorable oonaiuone on tne facino coast. While spring wheat hits suffered slightly from rust over, the southern portions of the spring wheat, region and is thin and weedy on lowlands In northern Minnesota, the crop, as a whole, has advanced sat isfactorily. It is now heading In North Dakota and northern Minnesota. On the north Paclflo coast, spring wheat, espe cially the late sown, has suffered seriously from dry weather. 'In Oregon much will be cut for hay. In common with other grains, oats have suffet-ed from moisture In the lower Mis souri valley, but elsewhere this or op has made satisfactory progress, although rank growth Is reported from portions of Min nesota and Ohio. In the Ohio valley and southern portion of the middle Atlantic states, the pros pects for apples continue decreasing, but In New England and portions of the lake region the outlook Is favorable. A good crop of peaches la being gathered in the eastern states. Hay Is backward throughout the central valleys and middle Atlantic states, and much hay has been spoiled In some sec tions. Better weather conditions for hay ing, however, have prevailed In Minne sota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Montana, where a fine crop Is being gathered. Wall Renominated for Senator. KEARNEY, Neb..

BEE CONTEST A MASQUERADE Pew Candidates Inclined to Disolose Their Voting Strength. STORAGE VOTE OUTNUMBERS VOTE POLLED Few Ripples on the Snrfaee, bnt Many Frogs Below, nnd If Asked Their Whereabouts, Ye Fro He Doean't Know. The lull yesterday in The Bee's July vot ing contest for ten trips to the St. Louis exposition may safely be 'attributed to the fact that candidates are getting, too busy fishing for votes to bother about taking them In to caat, and besides many of these busy people prefer, to be lone fishermen, unknown and unheralded to fame at least for the present. So the reader, if he would read correctly must Imagine other names between the lines and other hidden figures peeping from behind the visible digits. It is true this makes It hard to calculate but the candidate seems to prefer this way and Is Inclined to consider all fair In love and war and voting contesu. Un der the circumstances we must recommend the mathematics of hustling. Hustle first and always and figure afterwards. The vote at f p. m. Tuesday, July 12, was; B. O.
