STATE OF NEBRASKA
NEWS OF THE WEEK m a CON.
DEMSED FORM.
Corn Crop in This State This Year
Leads that OF any Previous Year
by Over Fourteen Million Bushels
Other items.

The annual Nebraska crop review, COM
piled from special reports in every county
in the state, show that the corn crop OF
1899 exceeds the record of 1897, the best
previous year, by 1l,2I7,240 bushels, and
reaches the enormous figure of IA, l25,09S
bushels. The average yield per acre is
34.5 bushels, and the crop is not only the
largest, but taken as a whole is of as good
quality as any ever raised in the state.
The total OF the wheat yield is below
that of the last two previous years. This
is due to the damage TO the plant durin 6
the winter in the winter wheat district.
The quality OF the grain in this district is
not first class. In the spring wheat region
in the north part of the state the crop is of
the average in quantity and quality. The
total yield is %, 3SS3, 9lt bushels, an average
Of ia per acre.
The oats crop amounts to 53.575,09i
bushels, an average yield of 33.l. This is
about an average with other years. The
quality of the crop is for the most part
good. Reports from the country Indicate
that more cattle and sheep will be fed this
year than ever before. Money for feeders
is plentiful and a very large percentage of
the crop will be converted into meat.

An Important Industry.

The Brockton, Mass, Times says that
at the factory of the w. L. Douglas Shoe
Company in that city the pay roll for the
week ending Sept. 30, excluding superin-
tendent, foremen, statesmen and all cler-
ical help, showed the average earnings
of the employees, large and small, to be
$15.54 per week. This was not an ex-
traordinary week. 1t was the customary
pay roll.
The Douglas factory has been closed
but one week this year, and that for the
usual summer stock taking, and it will
be closed but three days the latter part
of December. This would make but nine
days out of the year that the factory is
closed.
Owing to increased business, another
addition is to be made to the Douglas
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and FIVE stories high. This addi-
ton increases the capacity % per cent.
The W. L. Douglas Shoe Company has
the largest factory in the world, produc-
ing an advertised line $3.50 and $500
shoes.

S3 we'd by His Dog,

Perhaps it accords with the general
scheme Of things that a brave and de-
voted dog should lose his life. in de-
Tending a fool, but it seems a waste of
good material. This reflection is pro-
voked by a dispatch in the New York
Tribune, which says that a Buffalo
huckSter took his dog along. when, not
long ago, he drove to Lockport.
On the way home, not far from Lock
port, the man saw a swarm of bees in
a tree near the roadside. He climbed
over the fence, calling to the bulldog
to follow and then tried to set the ami
NAL on the bees, to see what they would
do.
The dog backed away from the
swarm, whining as if warning his mas
ter to desist and come to the wagon.
The huckster reviled the dog as a cow
ard, and tossed a stick into the bunch
of bees. The swarm was after him in
an instant.
The dog seemed to understand his
masters peril, and jumped between
him and the thickest of the swarm.
The hUckster sprang over the fence
and into the wagon, and drove out Of
danger. A dozen bees had fastened on
him, and his hands and neck We're bad
ly stung, but the dogs movement saved
his life.
The dog snapped at the bees savage
ly, rolling V and over, never utter
ing a sound, although he was being
stung to death. The poor animal
fought against the terrible odds until
his master was beyond reach, but final
ly succumbed to the poison Of the bees.
