WINTER WEATHER ODT WEST
Snow Storms General Over Eastern
Colorado and Part of Wyoming.
FLURRIES Iff WEST NEBRASKA
Temperature Gets Below Freesing
Up la! Black Hills, While Cold,
Rains Fall la North Part
of th State.
The eastern portions of Colorado and
Wyoming are getting a touch of early
winter and It is beginning to be felt in
the western part of Nebraska, according
to the reports to the railroad offices.
The Burlington railroad's weather re
port shows that this morning snow was
falling over the entire McCook division.
From a point fifty miles west of the
Nebraska state line, it was snowing hard
all the way to Denver. On the Sterling
division . there was snow over nearly
everywhere, with scattering flurries in
the western counties of this state. Tem
peratures ranged from 30 to 60 degrees
above zero.
On the Nprthwestern's Wyoming divis
ion there was from one to two inches of
snow all the way from Glen Bock west
to Casper, Wyo. Glen Rock is about,
midway between Orrln Junction and
Casper. East of Glen Rook there are
snow flurries almost up to the .Nebraska
line. Temperatures run as low as 80
above and heavy frosts .were reported
from numerous Wyoming points. ' There
was snow and freezing weather all
through the Black Hills country..
From Long Pine east and all over the
Bonesteel country there was a cold rain
last night, but it was clearing this morn
ing and the weather growing colder.
Crops lu Good Condition;
After receiving reports from every agent
in Nebraska Superintendent Reynolds of
the Northwestern has gotten out a sum
mary showing the condition of tbo corn
crop of the state as he figures it on Sep
tember 10. On the whole, Superintendent
Reynolds estimates tha crop to be above
the average, but at the date of the re
ports there was very little corn entirely
out of the way ot frost Everywhere he
concluded that the ground was in splen
did condition and the crop making good
progress.
In the South Platte country Superin
tendent Reynolds estimated that at. the
date 'of the reports fully 5 per cent of
the corn was beyond danger of frost , The
remaining 75 per cent would require two
weeks of warm weather to bring It to
maturity.- In the Elkhorn valley section,
along tha Albion line and from Long
Pine to Norfolk 60 per cent was out of
the way of frost, but otherwise conditions
were Blmllar as in South Platte country.
From Winner east through the Bone-
steel country it was estimated that 10
per cent was beyond danger of frost; '26
per cent would require one week and 23
per cent two weeks in which to mature.
The remaining 15 per cent would be soft
corn under almost any condition. -
The report shows plowing to be pro
gressing In all sections and a large acre
age of winter wheat sown; since- the set
ting in of the rains. 4
Eighty, per cent of the hay crop has
been secured, and is in the stack,' only S
per cent of which , has been injured by
the rain. Potatoes everywhere are re
ported a full to bumper crop and farmers
are digging them for shipment to Omaha
and elsewhere. ;.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Sept 14.-(Spe-
oial eTlegram.)-An attack on the bull

after the meeting of the democratic state
While the regular republicans are de-
comlttee here today.
While the regular republicans are de
andlng that bull moose electors do not
disfranchise them, Mr. Morrissey, candl
date for attorney general on the demo
cratic ticket will on Monday In the courts
of Lancaster county file a protest against
the progressive party going on the bal
lot, as such, In vllolatlon of the primary
laws of the state. ..-'
"We might Just as well And out now
as later whether this law really means
what it says and whether it is going to
be enforced," said Mr. Morrissey.
The aotion Is not taken by the Btate
committee, however, but by Mr. Morris
sey personally. The committee discussed
the proposition, but took no formal action.
Secretary Matthews declares that the
(meeting was the largest in point of at
tendance for several years. Among the
candidates present were A. : C., Shallen
berger, candidate for the United States
senate, H. C. Richmond for ; auditor,
"Platform" Kelly for secretary of state,
Morrissey for attorney general, Eastman
for i land commissioner, and Clarke or
superintendent ' ' ' ..

Telegram. )-Frank L. Armstrong of Elm
Creek and ex-member of the state legis
lature from the Fifty-ninth district, was
today nominated as the bull moose can
didate for congress from the Bix Sixth
district at the Kearney convention de
spite strong opposition from the delegates
from Custer ouhty. - ' '
C. H. Corneli of Valentine, for eereral
years closely associated with Judge Mose
P. Kinkaid, was present and sought the
privilege of addressing the meeting. W.
L. Gaston of Anselmo moved that the re
quest be granted, but the Buffalo county
delegation, headed by O. G. Smith and
J.'P. Gibbons, downed the motion, "which
was not seconded.' ' ,
Mr. Cornell edged in several remarks
while others were demanding procedure
with the business in hand, that of nom
inating the .congressional candidate. : He
contended that the move would cost the
republican party at least 2,000 votes in the
district; that Norris would suffer in th
Fifth district and Aldrich votes would
be lost throughout the state by the move.
The regular party affiliation petition
was in the convention ' hall and the
speaker was invited to sign r the same,
which would have placed him in regular
standing in the progressive movement a
thing which he stated was impossible for
him to do in good faith with his con
stituents in the northwestern part of 'the
state. Gaston, reoognized progressive
party man, used all the influence within
bis power to secure the endorsement but
apart from the efforts of the two men
tioned the sentiment seemed to be . in
favor of the ultimate action of the con
vention. ' L

third party were drawn up, closing the

Instances farmers had lost all of their

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 10, 1912
Hon. C. II. Aldrich, Lincoln, Neb. Dear
Sir: I am In receipt of your letter of
the 7th Instant , regarding the disease
among horses in your state, which is
causing such a terrible loss. As you
probably know, this disease also exists
to a great extent In Kansas. The veter
inarians whom we have sent to investi
gate the disease report that it Is un
doubtedly forage poisoning , due to a
fungus which' exists either, in the pastur
age or on the hay or grain fed to horses.
Cattle, ttowevtr, are not as highly sus
ceptible to ths poisoning as are horses.
I have arranged to seqd five veterinari
ans into your state to meet at Lincoln
on the 12th Instant; they will be under
the direction of Dr. B. T. Davison. It
la to be regretted that not much can be
done in the way of medical treatment
About the only thing is to immediately
put the horses on a feed which is not
contaminated, even If it is necessary to
Import the feed from uninfected sections.
This latter fact should be given the most
widespread publicity in order that own
ers can take immediate steps to protect
their animals. Vary respectively,
' A. D. MELVIN.
' . ' Chief of Bureau.
A meeting was held in the office of the
governor yesterday. Those present were
the governor, . Dr. Bostrom, state veter
inarian; Dr. E. T. Davidson of New Tork

A nation-wide fight against reckless

those figures are given ua by the police

In those cities which were not reported,
as only those of a more serious nature
