CROP CONDITIONS FINE IN WYOMNG AND UTAH C. J- Lane, general freight agent of the Union Pacific, says things look good through Wyoming and Utah, but that the real garden la in Nebraska. Of course, it Is too early to say what the harvest will be." eald Mr. Lane, "but there was never a time at the present season of the year when the prospects were as good as now. The acreage Into small grain Is unusually targe and the winter wheat Is covering the ground like an immense carpet. There was plenty of moisture during the early spring and everywhere there have been many .heavy and seasonable rains since. The cold weather has caused the grain to "stool" and now it Is aa thick on the ground as the hairs on a dog's back. Few of the farmer have planted then corn, but they are preparing the ground aad aa soon aa the weather warma up they win go at It with a rush. Farmers generally took th advtoa of th Omaha Commercial club and th railroad offi ciate and tested their seed . corn. A a result they have secured seed that will grow and if conditions are tavorabl they wlU-Jwesireafccroanejtt fail.

Special Grand Jury May Be Called for N White Slave Case It Is believed that a special federal grand jury will be ordered to Indict Harry Allen and Michael Albert, so that their trials may come up during the present term of court. Albert and Allen are under arrest on a. charge of "whit slavery." This Information was brought out la estimating the cost of holding the pris oner until September for the grand Jury to work on their case, with the cost of ordering a special venire and bringing them to a speedy trial. Both the girls. Ida Multer and Emma Walsh, are In the care of the matron of the Jail, where they are being held as witnesses. Though the girls may be freed If their parents take charge of them, or If Private William Marvin still presses his' suit to marry the Miller girl, tiers strong probability that thev. too. will be held at government expe ate until Albert and Allen ara Indicted and tried. The prisoners, too. nava. expressed a wish to marry th girls. 'United States District Attorney Howell will not con sider under any cireuTnatance to allow the men their freedom. The attorney feels, however, that If Marvin means business and win marry the girl upon th consent of her parents; be wiU let her go. and when the trials of Albert and Allen domes up .ubnoana Purchases jy j S. m.

The construction of the line up the Platte river from O' Fallon to Gering was a part of the scheme. In building this line the distance between Omaha anj the Pacific coast Is shortened does to 100 miles and an easier grade secured.

Not far from Thunder mountain, for years one of the richest copper mines haa been worked, but not on an extensive scale owing to ths long distance from the railroad and the expensive haul required to get th output to market.
