BRICK STORAGE PLANT IS GUTTED Orlcln of Fire Is Sot Known flood Work of Firemen Saves Large Elevator eit to Barn Inn Holldlng. The plant of the Woodmen Unseed OH works, Seventeenth and Nicholas streets, controlled by the American Linseed com pany, was seriously damaged by fire Tues day morning. The estimated loss Is placed at $30,000. The origin of the fire Is unknown. The entire plant was assessed at $S6,0tf), all of which Is fully insured, making the fire loss fully covered. The fire was discovered at 6:15 a. m., soon after Night Watchman John H. Carroll made his last round. Flames were first seen near the southeast corner of the sec ond floor of the three-story brick building, which Is used as a cooperage shop on the third floor and for storage and pressing de partments on the lower floors. The build ing also contained the engine and boiler rooms. The fire broke out In some wood work surrounding a coal bin and at a point where a number of electric light wires enter the building. The cooperage stock accelerated the flames, which spread with considerable ra pidity for awhile. A general lire alarm was turned In and by hard fighting on the part of the fire department and the absence of wind the fire was confined to the brick building, which waa gutted. Had the fire spread to the south the elevator of the lln seed oil plant would no doubt have been caught, as would also the Holmqulst & Merrlam elevator, a few feet south of the linseed elevator, both structures being In the direct path of the fire. The sprinkler system Installed some years ago In the lln seed oil plant kept the walls of the Wood man elevator cooled and was of consider ble assistance to the fire fighters. Contents of the Balldlng. The brick building whtch was damaged contained a stock valued at about $20,000, Including the machinery used for pressing the flax seed. The stock consisted of large tanks of ltnaeed oil, a quantity of linseed oil cake and empty oil barrels. This stock la practically all destroyed. The damaged building waa valued at about $20,000, and waa erected In 1886. So far as the building Is concerned, the base ment and first floor appear to be intact while much of the upper walls shows cracks, which will necessitate more or less reconstruction. This time of the year Is between seasons for the linseed oil works, the busy time be ginning the latter part of October, when the flax crop comes In and Is pressed for the oil at the local mills. Manager D. M. Delninger, who was early at the fire, stated Tuesday morning that the plant would be Improved Immediately so as to be In shape for the next flax crop The local plant Is considered fourth In point of Importance among the thirty-five plants operated by the American Linseed company. Eighteen men are regularly employed at the Omaha plant. The family of Jack Hansford, living Just west of the burning building, moved all their household effects to a neighbor' house, their home being in Jeopardy for some time. Of the total Insurance carried. 74,700 is carried In a long list of companies through H. E. Palmer & Son of this city, the bal ance being handled through eastern agen clea. w NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS Week of Warm Weather with Plenty of Rainfall Beneflta Corn Greatly. Weekly bulletin of the Nebraska section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau. The last week was warm, with mnxl mum temperaturea above 90 on several days. The dally mean temperature av eraged two degrees above normal, except In the northwestern counties where It was about two degrees below normal. Heavy showers occurred Quite generally In eastern counties where the rainfall mostly exceeded one Inch and ranged from two to more than three Inches In con siderable areas. In most central and west ern counties the rainfall was less than half an Inch. Haying and threshing progressed rapidly except In eastern counties Friday and Sat urday, where the heavy rain Thursday night retarded work of this character. Home spring wheat has been threshed and the yield Is rather better than expected. Potatoes are not yielding as well as ex pected. Corn has grown well and has been much benefited by the rain In the eastern counties. In some northeastern counties a high wind accompanied the rain and damaged corn to some extent by breaking and blowing It down. As a whole corn is now In excellent condition with every promise of a large crop. Fall plowing nas progressed nicely witn tne sou in ex cellent condition. WEATHER BlREAl CROP REPORT Condltlona Not Qalte So Favorable for Wheat Corn In Good Shape. WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. The weekly summary of crop conditions. Issued by tho weather bureau Js aa follows: During the week ending August 21, cen tral and western Texas experienced un usual beat, while unseasonably cool weather prevailed In New England and the northern portion of the middle Atlantic states; elsewhere the temperature was favorable. The rainfall was excessive and injurious In the Dakota and Minnesota and also in parts of the lake region, south Atlantic, central gulf states and In Florida. Rain is badly needed over the greater part of Texas, In portions of Kansas, generally throughout the central and southern Rocky mountain districts, and in Oregon. Frosts, causing slight damage, occurred on the I6th, In Montana and Idaho. The previously reported excellent con dition of corn continues generally through out the principal corn producing states and also In the Atlantic coast and eastern gulf districts. Windstorms blew down considerable corn In Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas and Ohio. In some counties in Kansas and generally throughout Texas the crop Is In need of rain. The harvesting, stacking and threshing of spring wheat on lowlands In the north ern part of the spring wheat region, where grain Is fully ripe, were Interrupted during the fore part of Ihe week, the fields being too wet for the reapers. Ical storms In North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota, causer the lodging of considera ble grain. Satisfactory yields are generally Indicated over the southern portion. Com plaints of shrunken grain are general from Washington and western Oregon. While cotton has improved In portions of the central and wentern districts the crop as a whole haa suffered deterioration which la most marked In the eastern dis tricts. Rust and shedding are extensive throughout the belt, and dry, hot weather has proved Injurious over much of Texas where premature opening is reported, but boll weevils In that state, aa a rule, are diminishing. The crop has Improved In Arkanaaa, some northeastern countlea in Texaa. In portiona of Louisiana, northern Alabama and In a few placea In Bouth Carolina. Picking la quite general In cen tral and southern Texaa and over the southern portion of the eaatern district. Wet weather has proved injurious to tobacco In Ohio and Indiana, but most reports respecting this ctod are favorable. an Improvement In Kentucky, the middle. Atlantic states and New England being indicated. There Is no Improvement In the general outlook for apples, nearly all reports show ing an inferior crop. Much complaint of blight and rot In potatoes Is received from the lake region ana me nonnern part or tne middle At lantlc atatea. but the renorta from tha Missouri and central Mlsslealppt vallaya are more favorable. Plowing for fall seeding la unusually well advanced, tha soli being In excellent con dition In nearly all districts aaat of tha nocay- inouniaina. Harry B. Daruk ua0rtAr. Xtl 1SX GRAIN RATES RISE A LITTLE Schedules Influenced Upward by Advance of tbe Eastern Line. MORE GRAIN WAY GO SOUTH AS RESULT Wobble In Tariffs Not Exactly Clear, bnt It la Said Situation Ttaue Far Haa Hot ifurt Omaha. Grain rates have ta&en a slight move upward by the announcement of the roads east of Chicago that, effective September 1, rates on domestic grain and grain prod ucts will be advanced to a basis of 17Vt cents, Chicago to New York, an advance from H'-i cents on domestic grain and from 1R cents on grain products. Export grain will be advanced from 13 to 15 cents. Effective September 20, the rate on export grain products will be advanced, Chicago to New York, from 14 to 15 cents. A local grain dealer said the effect of this probably would be, if conditions re mained the same, to send more of the grain than ever to the southern ports. The cause of the recent wobble In grain rates Is not exactly known to most, peo ple, but the fact remains that none of the developments has any tendency to in jure the Omaha market In any way. It Is thought, in some quarters, that the fact that some of the roads were paying 34 cents elevation waa one of the causes and the great reduction announced by the Burlington brought matters to a focus so that the rates were fixed on the basis an nounced by the Chicago Great Western. As one railroad man said: "The railroads would like to handle the grain themselves direct from Nebraska points to the market at Chicago or St. Louis, but they are forced, by the estab lishment of grain markets at Omaha and Kansas City, to recognize these points and to pay elevation there." Another railroad man remarked: "Here Is the natural market for the grain of this section of the country and It Is all foolishness for the railroads to be forced to pay elevation at Chicago or any other destination." Forced to Pay Charges. The railroads are forced to pay these elevation charges and, aa much aa they dislike to, they cannot get away from them. Peavey made a contract some years ago with the Union Pacific to get 14 cents rebate on every 100 pounds of grain hauled over the Union Pacific. The railroad was willing to pay this to get the cars back for another haul. The trouble came when there were points In Nebraska reached by the Northwestern and Burlington as well as tha Union Pacific. The Burlington was forced to have an elevator In Omaha to compete with the Union Pacific at these points, but It worked on a different sys tem. The Burlington road said to a shipper that If he would send his grain to Omaha the road would pay the elevation charges, provided the grain was sent on east or south over the Burlington. This forced the elevation charge at the Omaha ter minal, for If the Illinois Central, for in stance, wished to haul any grain that was In the Burlington elevator It had to ad vance that charge for elevation, and (then pay another elevation charge at destina tion. Stock raisers In the west have learned that it Is cheaper to ship grain to stock than to ship the stock to the grain, and this accounts for the large volume of grain that moved to the west and north during the month of July. Teachers at Beatrice. BEATRICE, Neb.. Aug. 22. (Special.) The Gage County Teachera' Institute opened here yesterday for a week with an enrollment of 165.

The Westbrook-Olbbona Grain company Is In the same position and also strongly objected. There waa not so much opposition to the closing of other streets, provided the Great Northern would lay out a stret south of Its right-of-way from Broad to Main. The council adjourned about midnight without having taken any action. Unless some kind of a compromise Is made with the Westbrook-Olbbona com pany and Healey there Is likely to be some litigation over the matter.
