"The greatest rainfall In any part of the I'nited States during the months of June snd July fell over the great Rosebud coun try In South Dakota which lies west of the Missouri river. According to the gov ernment gauge kept at Dallas, 8. D., which Is near the central part of the Rosebud country, the rainfall during the montji of June was 6 Inches.' The rainfall in May had been abundant. During the month of July we had 7.K1 Inches and during the month of August It has rained a good ralrt on an average of about every third day. August weather came In June all over the country and the small grain crop In the Rosebud country was extremely light. Wheat Is g'Jnng about eight to six teen bushels per acre and oats are yleld- ir as high as forty bushels per acre. At t 70 pvr cent of the farm land in the Kosebud country is In corn, and the pros pert for a good yield Is assured. Many farmers claim they will haive sixty bush els to the acre and few farmers will get lens than thirty-five.

At least eighteen Inohes of rain has fallen in the Rosebud country during the growing months each year for a great many years and many years it has been more than thirty Inches during these six months.

State Federation of Labor to Meet Here Contention of Affiliated Unions to Be in Session in Omaha Next Month. The fourth annual convention ot the Ne braska State Federation of Labor will meet at Omaha on September IS. Secretary Chrisman reports that he has assurances of , a larger attendance than ever before in the history of the organisation, there hav ing been a decided Increase in affiliations and more affiliated organisations request ing reservations for delegates. 'A great many people have a wrong idea of the purposes ot the state federation," said President 'Will Maupln of Lincoln yes terday. "It is not an organisation whose sole purpose is to shorten hours and In crease wages. The federation's chief pur pose is to secure beneficial legislation look ing to the better protection ot life and limb, to secure better working conditions, to educate its membership along social, po litical and economic lines, and to do all it can to eradicate Injustice. It will endeavor to secure a workable compensation law and to strengthen the female and child labor laws. We believe that our organiza tion should have the co-operation of all citlxens who are seeking the beat for the general public. We may not agree, but we may at least meet in friendly spirit now and then and diacuss the matter." The Nebraaka State Federation ot Labor was organised In Lincoln on June 5, 1V09. Upwards of 100 trades and labor organisa tions are now affiliated, with a total mem bership of about U,00u. The dues are levied on a basis of membership and are merely nominal, the organisation seeking only suf ficient revenue to pay incidental expenses. There are no ualarled officers nae the secretary-treasurer, who receives th i mu nificent wage of 18 a month. W. A.

I, Silkett and Karl Impey, steepiejacka. have been working for two days in an attempt to rase the smokestack at the old high school building. There le but one spot where the masonry from the 110-foot tack can safely fall and that is almost directly northwest. To make the stack fall Into that particular clear apaoe and do It so delicately as not to injure any person or destroy any of the construction work ou the new wing is the problem that has con fronted the workmen. As a solution they propose to peas two large guy wires from the top ot the stuck to the northeast and southwest and when this has been done they will rxplodo dyna mite under the southeast corner of the base. If their calculations are correct the debris will tumble Into the desired spot. Hut it haau't been found easy to get the wires to the top of the stack and the attempt to do this delayed the execution, which was originally set for Saturday afternoon. Once the wreckers succeeded, through the use of a Hkj rocket, in getting a rope over the edge, hut when they tried to adjust It the sharp edges of the bricks sawed it In two. When they went in search of more rockets it was found that the Fourth of July had exhausted Omaha's supply, as well as that of South Omaha. Then a kite was tried, but without success). ksturday afternoon Wlkuit. with two workmen, commenced the construction of a temporary ladder on which he hopes to reach Uie top, but the working spaoo hi cramped and it looks like an almost In terminable Job. Impey. meantime. Is work ing on another kite and hopes filially to get the rope over ill that ay. If the men work Sunday the Pig chimney may tumble some time in the course of the day. If not the event will be delayed.

We wash every bottle four times by machinery. Even the air in which the beer is cooled is filtered. It is aged for months in glass enameled tanks. It can not cause biliousness.
