FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 16.-(Special.)-
The hot weather and rains of the last week
are not causing many smiles on the faces
Of the farmers. Small grain that was cut
and in the shock will be an almost total
loss. That in stacks Jared som better, but
the loss on 1t will amount to considerable.
The total loss on. beets cannot be ascer-
tanned. The Standard Cattle company had
several hundred acres flooded and estimates
that $50 acres have rotted. The losses in
the beet fields around Fremont are likely
to. be considerable, much Of the crop being
on low lands. Fears are also entertained
that the potato crop. which is the largest
and best ever raised in this section, will
be damaged by the potatoes rotting in the
ground. Corn is the only crop not badly
damaged.

HAYWARD REGAINS STRENGTH
Nebraska Senator is Apparently Making
Long Strides to Recovery.
MIND is CLEAR AND NO FEVER REMAINS
Effort to Move, However, IL Followed
by Severe Pain and Patient VIII
Occupy Present Quarters while
Illness IL Serious.

BRowNv1LLE. Neb., Aug. 1e.-(special
Telegram.)-Senator Hayward has passed a
good day. He has rested quietly, partaken
Of punishment and his mind, as DR.. Whit
ten remarks, is as clear as a bell. He
suffers but little pain and is able to turn
himself in bed without assistance. An
effort was made to get him out of bed, but
upon arising he suffered excruciating pain
In the back and the attempt was abandoned,
Mr.. Hayward keeps in good spirits and to-
day, in addressing DR.. Written, who has
been the family physician for twenty-five
years, called him Medi, a playful nickname
he had bestowed upon the doctor years age
when they were young men together.
Mrs. Hayward, while naturally anxious
for the time to come when her husband
can be taken to their home, yet appre.
ciates the care given the distinguished pa
tient and the anxiety shown for his re-
covery by the people OF Brownville Con-
gresham e. j. Burkett came down on the
1 o'clock freight this afternoon to see the
senator and after spending a short time
with him departed at 3:1S. The senator's
brother. B. S. Hayward of Davenport, Ia.
and Hon. T. l.. Mathews OF Fremont, candi-
date for state auditor on the republican
ticket last fall, arrived this evening.
Mrs. Hayward remains constantly by the
senator's bedside and his son, Major w
H. Hayward, is with him as much as pos
sible. DR.. Written returned to Nebraska
City this afternoon and upon arriving there
informed Major Hayward that the case now
has no resemblance to apoplexy and he at
tributes the attack to convulsion caused by
stomach trouble, similar to that sometimes
suffered by infants.
DR.. Gather Of Nemaha is caring for the
sick. man during DR.. Whitten's absence.
At 1880 o'clock this evening Senator
Hayward is very tired and is suffering with
a headache, but otherwise his condition is
greatly improved.
Many Inquiries Received.
Many inquiries are being received from
over the state as to the condition of the
senator.
The attending physicians are not willing to
hazard a statement as to when Senator Hay
ward will be sufficiently recovered to enable
him to return home or as to the length OF
time that is liable to elapse before he will
be able to resume his ordinary avocation,
but are confident that with good care he will
ultimately recover, unless some entirely I'M
foreseen event occurs. While in his weak
ened condition there is always the danger OF
a relapse; at present the symptoms are all
favorable to the sick mar.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the physicians
stated that in case Senator Hayward con-
tinued to improve as he had done today he
would be out of all danger by tomorrow.
A bulletin received at Ills states that
Senator Hayward's condition still continues
to improve. He was resting we'll.
