CHICAGO, Aug. 81. - The trial OF
Adolph L. Luctgert for the murder Of
his wife began in earnest to-day, the
preliminary work of securing a jury
having been completed. Long before
the case was called the corridors of
the court building were crowded.
LuetRert was calm when brought into
court.
Mr.. McEwan, assistant states attor-
ney. intor mally opening the case for
the state, told the story OF MIRA Luet-
gcrt's disappearance Nay /, dwclt
upon the apparent Indifference of the
husband, his statement that he had
not informed the police but had hired
two detectives, and his invitation 10

Of the state that Mrs. Luetgert accom-
panied her husband into the factory
between 1890 and II o'clock after her
little con Louis. who had returned
from the circus, had been sent TO bed.
He then detailed the Isobuble move
ments OF the L~uetgerts in the fac
tory, the turning on OF the steam
to the vat, the sending Of the watch
man. Bialk, to a drug store. which
Kept him out OF the factory for
IN hour and a half, during which time
Mrs. LuetRert was last seen alive. Mr..
McEwau said Luetgert despised his
wife. He had treated her with VIC.
lence, rs evidence for the state would
show. lie had no affection for her and
lived alone in the factory. A witness
would testify that he saw Luctgert
choke his wife in the chicken house
back OF his residence when she said.
You need not kill me, as you did that
man, for I have no money" This
caused Luctgert to say that she
wouldn't be allowed TO betray him.

Of the coun ties north of the Missouri
river corn is maturing nicely. but in
some the late planted Is suffering
seriously from drouth, and through
out nearly all Of tho Southern half OF
the state the crop is drying up very
rapidly. The hot winds of the Goth
and eth did much damage and in
many counties the crop is now too far
gone to be benefited by rain. Early
corn is maturing rapidly and cutting
has begun in all sections.
In some of the northern counties
the ground is reported in good condi-
ton to work, blowing has progressed
well and some wheat has been sown,
but over the greater portion OF the
state the work is nearly all at a stand
still, and in many places not a furrow
has yet been turned. Pastures are
failing and stoctwater is becoming
scarce in many counties In many
districts the drouth and hot sun have
been very severe on fruit, peaches be-
ing almost baked on the trees. A gen.

The actual facts. so far as Nebras-
