NEBRAsKA's WONDERFUL CROPS.
Average Estimated Value of Grain
Alone S195.OOO,0OO.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. CA member of the
Nebraska state board of agriculture re-
turned to-day from an extended trip
through Nebraska, and makes this re-
port:
"As the result of this trip and the in
vestigations made, figures have been pre-
pared which show that there are 100, OOO,-
900 bushels of old corn yet in the hands
of the farmers of the state, 50,O00,O 900 bush
els of old corn in cribs in the state, 25O,-
100000 bushels of the new corn safe from
bad weather or frost, and assured to the
producer, whatever may happen to the
late corn, from 100000 to 100000 bushels
of late corn, which has been injured to
some extent by the late hot weather.
much of which, however will be saved
if rains come to the state within a few
days, and 75,000000 bushels of wheat rye.
oats. barley and fax
This makes a total of 5C0000,000 bushels
Of grain raised by the farmers of Nebras-
ka this year, allowing for %, 900 600 bushels
Of late corn to be saved out of the total
acreage. 1t is estimated further that of
this crop there will be consumed in Me-
braska, fed by the farmers and used in
the mills 150000,0O0 bushels, leaving $780,
100000 bushels to be shipped out of the
state during the next twelve months. To.
ship this amount of grain 1t will require
10000 cars, at 1900 pounds to the car,
using the larger size, and the profit of
the railroads at the rate of $40 per car
will be 100000.
"The average price OF the grain shipped
out of the state Is put at 80 cents bush
el for all kinds, and makes a total value
to the farmer of sos, 0O00 900. The 10000
900 bushels fed to stock and sold to mill
ers is estimated to be worth to the farm
er 60 cents a bushel, making total Of
800, 10000. This makes the average value
Of the seasons crop Of grain, according
to this estimate. $l95O00,0O0 This
does not include an estimate
of 20,000,OO0 acres of grass used for graz
ing purposes and 100000 tons of hay"

LowNDEs WAS SATISFIED.
The People of That County Pleased
with the Convict Camp system.


Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 10-The movement
to return the mlsdemeanor convicts who
are now held in the private camps is caus-
ing more talk in this section at present
than anything else.
The misdemeanor convicts have been
kept at MeRaes camps five miles west Of
here, so long and the system has been so
satisfactory to all of the people here that
the thought of putting an end to it with
out time for preparing for the changes has
caused great deal of uneas-
mess. Should the camps be brOk-
en- up and the cOnvicts he thrown back
upon the counties a right serious ques-
ton would arise here as to what disposi-
ton would be made Of them. The county
commissioners tried the plan of working
the convicts upon the public roads last
year, and it proved an utter failure, cost
ing the county more than free labor would
have cost The commissioners will have
a meeting Monday, it is understood, for
the purpose of trying to get ia line with
the spirit of the law without bringing a
great expense upon the county.
Va.dosta is very much interested at
present over the railroad projects which
are centering toward this city The Val
dosta Southern road is to be completed
to Madison, Fla, as speedily as the work
can be done. The track has been COM
pleted about twelve miles out from here
though the roadbed has been graded some
distance beyond there, and the right of
way made to within SIX miles of Madison.
Rails are ordered to arrive about Oct.
and the work of laying them viii begin
at once.
The new road from Ocmulgee river to
this city is to be completed TO Nashville,
Ga, within the next few months and then
to this city as fast as it can be. 1t is be.
lieved that the Georgia and Alabama is
interested in the new line and that that
road is working its way into Florida by
this city. II such is the case the road
will find Valdosta q splendid feeder. while
this city will find the new road great help
to her In many ways. 1t is pretty certain
that Valdosta viii. have two new roads
within the next year or so, If not sooner.

MURDER AND MURDERERs,
The Handling of Criminal News
aet osCrfticfsed.

The Handling of Criminal News
a.- Criticised.
Editor Morning News: There is a ques-
ton facing the good people of Georgia,
which needs attention, and it is the ne
cessity for the punishment of crime in or
der to deter others from committing
crime; and a change in the handling of
criminal news by the press of the country.
The whole country is congratulating IT.
self because it has been found possible to
hang one white man in Georgia, forgetting
that there are hundreds who deserve hang
ing richly; some fugitive from justice and
others awaiting in Jail the never-tlring eff
forts of their attorneys to free them. In
Macon, Ca, to-day there is In Jail crimi-
nal who committed as foul a murder as
ever was done, three years ago, and who is
not yet hung; solely because it has been
possible for his attorneys by various
means to stave off his execution until fin
ally his crime is almost forgotten and he
may yet go free and unwhipped of JUS
tice.
1t is an outrage upon society, that our
laws are so framed as to enable sharp and
shrewd lawyers to cheat the gallows of its
dues and turn lose upon the people red
handed murderer so frequently as it Is
done.
Why is it that lawyers will fight step by
step, spending valuable time and hundreds
of dollars of their own money in their eff
forts to save the life of criminals they we'll
know are guilty as hell itself; many times
indeed getting nothing for their services
except the doubtful honor Of having saved
the life of villain and born criminal
A poor thief perhaps stealing to ward
off starvation, may find no one to defend
his case, while the worst criminal, without
dollar, can get the services of talented
lawyers free because of the chance offer
ed to win fame as criminal saver"
True, one white man has recently been
hung in Georgia, but what is one hanging
must come about a change In the handling
of criminal news by the press, for so long
as crime is written up as the work of a
hero, depicting each horror as the work of
an artist in crime, and printing disgusting
news in detail Of the criminals, every move
an notion copied by a picture of the
criminal as seen at various times, just so
long then viii there develope fools who for
the sake of seeing themselves the OBJ
served of all Observers and the columns
of the daily press prostituted to the pub
fishing of their LIES history, with cuts of
the disgusting mugs" thrown in, then so
long, say, will this crop of fanatical
fools be with us with the ever ready wea-
pom to murder for the sake of notoriety,
pure and simple.
1t is time to call a halt. Time to stop and
think to whatgwe are coming in this en-
lightened age Essbeetee.

River-Other Florida News
Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 1O.-Parties from
Blaze Pine turpentine camp, on the Ock-
lockonee river, in Liberty county, give the
following in regard to a shooting scrape
there last Saturday morning:
The foreman walked out to where driv-
er was hitching up his team. and remark
ed that 'it is a good time for us to have
our shooting match" The driver quickly
pulled his gun and shot the foreman just
below the heart
Only one shot was fired, and the wound
ed man was still living at last account,
but there is little hope Of his recovery.
1t is said that nearly every man in the
camp has gun, and that five men have
been killed there during the past eighteen
months.
A Tallahassee man, who mllks seven
COWS, last mouth. sold S2ls pounds of but
ter for $3S, and had all the butter a family
of nine persons could use. This is at the
rate of 81. 70 per COW for one of the poorest
butter months of the year, or at the rate
of about s57 per annum.
Cotton receipts here are one hundred
bales short, as compared with same date
last year. The cotton crop in this section
has been cut short by the rains for the
past month.
A fight is on between the saloon men and
the temperance people. Rev. S. NJ. Prov

Performed by a Woman.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Kansas City, Mo.-Some remarkable
feats of strength have been performed by
women, but that which young man says
Mrs. Hall of Independence and Elmwood
evenues performed is entitled to the blue
ribbon and a special prize. Mrs. Hall and
James Fletcher are neighbors Neighbor
Fletcher has a COW, and Neighbor Hall
has a lot Of chickens. A barbed wire fence
separates the two premises, but has not so
far succeeded in keeping the two families
apart. Fletcher has a lot Of boxes on his
place, and Mrs. Hall claims her chickens
lay in the boxes The chickens and Mrs.
Halls boy combined have proved a bone
of contention for some time but matters
approached a climax when Mr.. Fletcher
sent young man to the prosecuting at
torney's Office to have Mrs Hall arrested
for disturbing the peace.
The chief cause for complaint on the
part of Mr.. Fletcher, according to the
young man. was that Mrs. Hall had de-
liberately, premeditatedly and with malice
aforethought, lifted Mr.. Fletcher's COW
over the barbed wire fence into her yard
on a recent occasion. Just how the wo-
man pulled the cow over the fence the
young man did not explain, but he de-
clared that the fence was not broken
down and that the COW was translated
from one sphere of activity to another
against the peace and dignity of the
state.
MIR. Fletcher says Mrs. Hall insisted on
his removing his boxes because her chick
ems laid in them. All of the little neigh
borly amenities were passed over, but
when she lifted the COW over the fence
he thought that was a casus bell

Two Floridn Towns That VIII Go
Back to the Old-Time Mule Train.
Sanford, Fla, Sept. 10.-This month
finds our Gate City of South Florida"
again represented in the board of county
commissioners, as Capt. George H. Fer
maid has duly qualified as successor to
Hon. ]. N. Whitner, late president of the
board.
Our people are greatly pleased to learn
that the elegent steamer City of Jack
sonville has left her summer run In Bos-
ton harbor and is now in New York being
put in good shape for a big business this
winter on the St. Johns river. Early in
October she viii put in an appearance
here and then our busy season will open
in dead earnest.
The Sanford Board of Trade has deter
mined to make the opening season one of
the best for business in many years. There
are several schemes on foot to accomplish
this purpose, one of which is to draw more
trade from the Oveido and Geneva sec
ton of the county, both by railroad and
new clay roads. and good bridges that
will shorten tEtSlistance and make travel
more comfortable.
Unless the railroads make more conven-
lent sen adulas for people in country towns
to get to and frcm Sanford or Orlando.
the compile ion of the cay road between
these two cirits will cut into the local
freight and passenger traffic of these rail-
roads Already country merchants are
hauling goods from Orlando over the new
clay roads, and the same will be done
from Sanford as soon as our clay road
reaches Mattland Then the country mer-
chants can have their goods come up me
river by gteaIner and haul them inland on
their own teams. By this means they can
secure a mIch lower rate on their mer-
chandise. The clay roads of Orange al
ready show that they will revouuonizc
the old systems of doing business.
