Party.
Holdredge. Neb., August 4.-The
special train bearing the party of tour
lists from the East arrived here this
morning. They are on tour Of inspec-
tion of the crops of Nebraska. To
state it plainly they are delighted be-
yond measure at the prospect OF an
immense corn harvest, which has met
their gaze on all sides since their train
entered the State two days ago. Dur
ing that time they have seen, they ad-
nit, as fine fields Of corn as could be
found anywhere. Corn is now almost
made. II is cleaner and stronger than
for several years past, and as the rain
fall has been regular and all-suficieht,
5 more luXuriant and the ears are al
most heavy enough TO break OFF OF
their own weight. There were fairly
good yields Of all small and large grain
crops here last year, but nothing 10
compare with the prospects for this sea-
son.

farmers are threshing as fast as they
can. All these facts were noticed by
the members OF this party and they re-
fer jok;ngly TO the widely accredited
statements that Nebraska is droughty
State. These statements were all the
result Of one dry season, 1894 which
all the States are willing to admit was
an universally disastrous year for the
entire country.
Some intelligence of their coming
preceded The party and at various
points along the route Of the Burl.ng

garden products and showed them.

shown them. Baskets Of fine apples,
peaches and other fruits were handed
to them 10 test their eating qualities.
and samples Of beets, potatoes and 9th

The party will leave here fora more
northerly part of Nebraska, and no
doubt with an entirely new opinion Of
the immense possibilities for agr.cul-
tural interests Of all kinds in Nebraska.

than $4,000 in his accounts, and it is
possible that this amount may be in
creased to $4,000 when his books have
been thoroughly examined.
On Wednesday morning last Jackson
reported to the police that he had been
awakened at his residence by three
masked robbers, who compelled him to
accompany them to his Office with the
intention of forcing him to open the
county safes. On reaching the Office
jackson claims he struck one of the
robbers on the temple with an ore sam
pie, and was in turn knocked down by
the other robbers and left insensible on
the office floor
AS Jackson had been dissipating
heavily for some time, the story was
discredited. His bOndsmen became
suspicious, and experts were put to
work on his books.
1t was discovered that the Treasurer
had embezzled large sums of the coun-
tvs money, making fictitious claims in
his books.
Jackson has held office for sixteen
years, and has hitherto borne an ex-
cellent reputation. He has wife and
two sons His bondsmen have not yet
determined what course they shall pur-
sue in the case. County Recorder
Ross has temporarily been placed in
charge of the Treasurer's office and ac-
