Nebraska, Iowa and Dakota.
Reports received from the agents of
the Sioux City and Western Railway in
dicate that small grain in Nebraska as
far west as O'Neill has about all been
harvested, but the yield in northwest
Iowa, southern South Dakota and Ne
braska will be less than has been pre-
viously estimated. The grain is found to
be small and shriveled, and although hard
and of a quality to grade No. wheat,
will not run above fourteen bushels to
the acre in many localities where twenty
bushels had been expected. Oats will
not run above thirty bushels to the acre.
Recent rains retarded harvesting, and
hot winds which preceded them did al
most as much damage as hailstorms
which visited some sections, particularly
Plymouth County, Iowa, where SI5,UOO
of damage by hail is reported. Corn has
benefited by the rains, but the crop Will
be far from satisfactory.

STORY OF 1898.
The Message Which the Past Year Will Carry

BY WILLIS j. ABBOTT.

Written for the New Year Standard.
What will history have to say Of the
dead year 1888, which to US now, and
in this land, seems to have been so no
table and so full of historic import
ance? When the people of a century
hence, or even of half century to
come, shall regard the events of 1898.
time supplies. what great actions, what
great policies, what happenings, affect
ing the fate of nations or the happi-
ness Of men, will defy times perspec-
tive and stand cut boldly as salient
facts in the history of all time? The
politics which is partisanshp will then
be forgotten, but the politics which is
statecraft will endure. Battles will be
remembered as names only, but the ma
tional movements for which those bat
ties furnished the.y starting point will
still be studied for their share in the
development of the world. Men to
whom volumes are given to-day will
get scant line in the retrospective an
mails of the Goth century historian and
there will be frightful mortality among
the heroes of our war with Spain. In
one of the most judicious and com
plete epitomes of universal history, the
writer finds the year 1898 in civilized
lands credited with but few occurrences
which compel the attention Of this
later era. The organization of the reg
ular army of the United States, with
George Washington as commander; the
Irish rebellion, the second European
coalition against Napoleon, the victory
of Nelson in the battle of the Nile
these events only are thought worthy
of enumeration after the lapse of a
century by an historical student of no
mean position. What, then. will be
left of the now voluminous histories Of
the past year when Time shall have
remorselessly edited them for CEN
fury?
