CORN ABOUT HOLDS ITS OWN
Railroads Report It in About Same
Condition as Week Before.
GOOD RAIN IN SOME PARTS
IrrlRnted Section of the Stntrn Gives
Every Indication of HnvliiK
a Moat nonntlfut Yield
of All Cerenla.
Although some parts of tho state have
received good rains In tho last week or
ten days, crop reports complied Monday
by railroads with Nebraska lines Indicate
that with the exception of tho northern
parts, to which the drouth did not ex
tend at any time, ltttlo material benefl
was derived and tho corn Is In approxl
mately tho same condition as before,
In tho north part of the state In tho
territory of the Northwestern lines be
tween Bcrlbncr and Oakdale, rain has
been sufficient to assure a good corn
crop ond the Union Pacific running west
between Fremont and Grand Island pre.
diefs an average crop. South of the
Platte river, however, along tho Burling
ton districts, crops arc In a deplorable
condition.
On the Omaha division Lyons received
3.":5 Inches of rain last week, and .Ran
dolph received threo Inches even of rain,
but the corn was In such critical condi
tion that tho precipitation did little good.
The Omaha division Is still In better con
dition than any other of tho divisions
running Into the southern partB of the
state.
On the Lincoln division, where corn Is
in almost as good condition as on the
Omaha division, some fair rains fell. Sar
gent reported a total precipitation of 2.75
for1 the week, while Greeley Center, Eric
son, Comstock and Arcadia reported more
than two lnchjbs.
The Wymore and McCook divisions,
which have been suffering from lack of
rain, had, as usual, very little precipita
tion. Station agents on the two divisions
reported heavy rains after the precipita
tion of last week, but It Is probable that
the agents wero too enthusiastic as a
result of the first shower for six weeks
and did not tako accurate measurements
of the rainfall.
Status of Corn Crop,
Superintendent Allen'j weekly report to
the Burlington at Omaha estimates tho
corn to be In about tho same condition as
a week ago. The following figures com
pare the present crop on the various
divisions with an average crop:

D. Clem Deaver of the Burlington col

trip through tho Scott's Bluff country.
Btudylng tho crop conditions In tho Irri
gated country. Ho was accompanied by
Prof. Erwln of tho Ame3 Agricultural
college.
Mr. Deaver was overjoyed at the way
the crops In Scott's Bluff county .wero
growing. In addition to tho Irrigation,
tho county has received bountiful rain
fall, which has caused the crops to
grow beyond the most optimistic expec
tations. ' v
"Sixteen years ago." said Mr. Deaver
In discussing his. trip, "I pxodlcted that
Scott's Bluff county would ralBo more
produce than any other county in tho
stato of Nebraska, and It looked very
much as If I wero correct. This year
the county is raising every Imnginablo
product and every one of those products
Is growing In fine style. Even if the
county does not lead In tho amount of
produce raised, ono thing is certain5
It raises the best varied products In Ne
braska and It will bo but a short num
ber of years before no county will raise
the amount of produce Scott's. Bluff
county -will raise."
Diggs to Go on
Witness Stand in
His Own Behalf
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 18,-The
third week of the trial of Maury L. Dlggs,
charged with white slavery, will begin
tomorrow. Diggs Is expected to take the
stand In support of tho contention of the
defense that tho purpose wnlch Impelled
him and F. Drew Camlnettl to run away
with Marsh Warrington and Lola Norris
from Sacramento to Reno was solely to
escape troubles pending them, and not to
tlmulato the white slave traffic. Tho de
fense will Beek to show that the girls
were not transported within tho meaning
of the Mann law.
L. P, DlggB, father of tno defendant.
has already testified that he had threat
ened the four with arrest In the hODo of
severing his son's relations with the Wart
rlngton g)rl. and the owner of the Sac-
ramento building, In which Diss's had in
office, related that ho had warned Dlggs
that Juvenile officers would be after him
for taking young girls to his office.
By showing that the girls were acou-
mulatlng thick and fast about Dlggs, the
defense will try and convince tho Jury
that he was afraid to remain in Sacra,
monto and that If he had not gone to
Reno, he would have fled to some point
where he would not hrfve been liable to
the operation of the "Mann law.
R. C. Ramsay, a lawyer friend nf
Maury I. Dlggs, was fined 1100 In nollce :
court today rnr assaulting a newspaper
photographer Friday nfternoon after ad
journment of the Dlggs trial. Ho ap
pealed.
A warrant for Dices, charclm? an.nn
and sworn to by another newspaper pho
tographer, as a sequel to the same fra
cas, remained unserved today.
There Is no fear that Dlggs. has fled.
Ha Is thought to be seeking to avoid
further notoriety as far as possible.
