pani took all the articles upon the
table and set them on one side. He
would not throw them away, for he
meant to analyze them.
When the woman returned. 10
pani mixed the new potion and ad
ministered it, and ere long after
ward the count fell asleep.
"Ruric Newell" said the surgeon
as soon as he was sure the invalid
would sleep, "will you remain here
awhile? / wish to go and analyze
some of these things. have only
to go to the academy. / will be
back in an hour at the furthest-"
The gunmaker gladly consented
to this, and, having gathered up the
walls and the wine bottle and con-
cealed them beneath his pelisse, the
surgeon left.
Ruric Newell was happier now, for
hope was with him while he prayed
that God might spare the unfortu-
nate count.

OUTLOOK Is EXCELLENT
Crop Conditions in ebraska NJ Given by
University Weather bureau.

Crop Conditions In Nebraska as Given By
University Weather Burean.
The past week has been warm, with
heavy showers in the northern conn
ties. The rainfall Of the week was
heavy in the central and northeastern
counties; In the southern and south
western counties the rainfall was light.
Winter wheat has ripcned rapidly
and harvesting has commenced In tho
southern counties Oats have Inn
proved In northern counties, but con-
tinuc TO indicate small crop In south
ern. Spring wheat is generally doing
well. Corn has grown well but 10
backward and needs warm weather,
and In southern counties, more rain;
In thu northern counties rain has de-
laycd cultivation, and corn Is general
ly getting weedy. Considerable alfal-
ia hay was damaged In western
ties by rain while curing. In southern
counties the dry weather has damaged
grass In pastures and meadows, but In
the northern counties the prospect 10
for an exceptionally heavy hay crop,
and the pastures and ranges are unus-
ually fine. Peaches promise n good
crop.

ANXIETY ABOUT DROUGHT.
Cattle and Corn will suffer IL Rain Does
Not Come Soon.

Cattle and Corn will suffer IL Rain Does
Not Come Soon.
The wheat crop in Kansas is being
harvested but the fate of the corn crop
and pasturage in the state for the re-
mainder of the season is i'm doubt. The
corn is late and is in fairly good coudi-
ton, but will need rain soon il the hot
winds continue. The same is true of
the grass which affords pasturage for
thousands of cattle. The cattle deal
ers are o alarmed, or else they would
be rushing their cattle to market.
Beyond a line seventy-five miles of
Kansas City, Kansas has had a fair
amount OF rain this spring and summer
but more in needed right now unless
drought conditions are to develop. The
season has beer bad for vegetables and
small fruits and the pasturage has been
thinner and poorer than it has been for
years. The state has been unusually
dry near the Missouri line since April
ID, but Western Kansas has had suf-
acient moisture for the wheat crop.
The Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Is
land and Burlington railroads have
favorable reports from along their
lines about their crop conditions, but
the farmers and stockraisers are fear
full that n drought may be experienced
this summer.

ELEVEN DIE IN HEAP
One Bolt OF Lightning Does Deadly Work
In Chicago uoyeI.

Crowded together in a little zinc
lined shanty under a North Shore pier
Mt Chicago, ten boys and young men
and one old met instant death by light
ming Monday. They had left their fish
lines and sought shelter from the fierce
thunderstorm that dcluged the north
ern part of the city. Their bodies lay
with twisted and tangled limbs like a
nest of snakes" as the men who found
them said There were twelve who
sought shelter and just one escaped,
twclve-ycar-old Willie Anderson, but
he lay many minutes before he could
I've drawn out from the dead bodies.
The dead are all from the families of
comparatively poor people, and COM
prised a party of men who were fishing
and seeking relief from the heat of the
day.

Crop Prospects.

After nine days of hot weather that
broke all records a large part Of Ne
braska was deluged with rain Monday.
Day after day the Thermometer a a
race up the scale to alarming heights
and when the heavens poured forth
moisture IL vas hailed with delight.
Lincoln, which had been the driest
spot in the state, received it's full
share. The black clouds came from
the west shortly before 4 o'clock and
for an hour or more the rain fell in
torrents.
At Z o'clock in the evening the rain
gauge at the university station showed
l.27 inches and still a slow steady rain
came down at the rate of one-tenth of
an inch each hour. This continued
late into the night until the estimated
rainfall was at least one and one-half
inches.
1t was the first good rain that had
fallen at Lincoln since June Sd when
half an inch vas recorded. The crops
In the vicinity of Lincoln had stood up
wonderfully well, yet some damage
had been done. In other portions of
the state moisture was not SO badly
needed.
According to reports received from
the Burlington railroad the rain was
heavy in the eastern part of the state
and extended as far west as Juniata
and Kenesaw. Over the whole eastern
end of the northern division of the
Burlington the rain was heavy, and as
that division extends from Platts-
mouth to Ravenna a large area was
wet. North Of Aurora it was rather
light and on the Wyoming division no
rain was reported at To'clock, but that
region had been previously we'll wat
cred. Fairmont reported fcnr inches
Of rain and Omaha was also in the rain
belt.
Later the Burlington reported a good
rain on both the northern and south
ern divisions extending as far west as
Hastings, Minden, Red Cloud and
Franklin.

A dispatch from Vancouver, II. c.,
says: The steamer Islander, from
Skagway brings news of an exciting
flag episode at SkaguaC +. $. Busby,
Canadian customs agent there, acting
on instructions from Ottawa, hoisted
the British flag on a pole above his Of
flee. Several incendiary remarks fol-
lowed the hosting Of the ensign, and
on the following morning q tall, ath-
letic looking man glanced up at the
flag and stopping at the foot Of the
staff took out his knife and cutting the
halyards pulled down the flag and
ran up the halyards through the block
rolled up the colors and tossed them in
to a recess of the building.
Customs Agent Busby came TO the
defense Of the flag Of his country.
When he reached the iag-furler the
latter pulled a card from his pocket
and after handing IL TO the astonished
Canadian officer walked away. On the
card was George Miller, Attorney-at-
law, Eugene, Ore"
Miller is a brother Of Joaquin Miller,
the California poet. The Skaguay
News says:
1.-The incident, which bids fair to as
sumo international proportions as soon
as the news of it can reach ottawa and
Washington, Is being discussed with
the mass Of sentiment in favor Of the
man who hauled down the flag"

thought Gen. Gomez Is here to sound
the head of the Cuban junta on the
question of his candidacy for the presi-

is himself a presidential possibility,
declared recently in favor of Senior Pal

to Estrada Palma last night, he said:
IL would rather not discuss the mat

Others May Heat the Illinois.

The rejoicing of naval officers over
!he splendid speed trial Of the battle
ship Illinois must not be understood to
mean that the Illinois will be the fast
est battleship of the new navy. The
rejoicing over its performance Is Who'll
ly due to the fact that it has exceeded
the contract requirements in the mat
ter OF speed. The new battleships
Missouri, Maine and Ohio, recently
launched, must exhibit a minimum
speed Of eighteen knots per hour. II
they exceed this requirement to the
extent that the Illinois has exceeded
the requirements of it's builders, they
will be able to run nearly twenty knots
an hour.
