Elko seems to be suffering with a
series OF Jail breaks. Three prisoners
who were held, knocked a hole in the
brick wall Monday and escaped. They
were captured and their life is being
made miserable for the temporary lib

Thunder storms seem to be general
throughout Nevada. In Elko county
the S. P. Co. suffered a number of de-
lays on account of washouts, and the
same condition exists between Elkc
and Reno.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson hopes
that the corn crop Of the Western States
has not yet been ruined by the drought.
says Washington dispatch. He is dis
posed to believe that the reports as to
the damage have been exaggerated. He
is quoted as follows: II do not regard
the corn crop as seriously damaged, not
withstanding the press reports from the
Western States. On July l the condi-
ton of the corn crop was more promis-
ing than on the same date last year, and
even if the press reports are not exag-
gerated, although | am inclined to think
that they overstate the real conditions,
there is not, as yet, cause for genuine
alarm. :;
Throughout the area of the great corn
crop the drought has not been sewers
enough to seriously affect that crop. Hot
weather is not damaging to corn at this
season. In fact, high temperature at this
season is one of the requisites Of corn de-
velopment, and 50 | think that we had
better wait awhile before we say that the
corn crop is ruined.
For myself, l think that we shall have
plenty OF corn in this country. The press
reports from Kansas and Nebraska are,
of course, discouraging, but the crop in
those States is not great, except in the
eastern portions.
THE great corn belt Of this country is
east Of the Missouri river and west Of the
Ohio. l have not yet seen anything to
indicate that there has been a large
amount of damage in this area Of couu-
try. l am going to wait, therefore, until
l hear whether the drought has been dis
astrous in Iowa. Illinois, Missouri, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin before 1

Physicians, like clergymen, are con-
cerned in trying to make their fellow
men better, but they have a great adj
vantage over the clerical brethren in
being able to shape their lives accord
ing to their whims and necessities with
out undue criticism from their fellows.
We prefer that our doctors should be
good men. We insist that they shall
have a high degree of professional
honor. We expect them not to be I'M
duly mercenary, and not to grudge 4
fair measure of their time to the public
service. But we don't concern our
selves about what they eat, or drink, or
smoke, or how they choose to have
their share of sun, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. We don't even in
sist that they shall practice what they
preach, and we should be disappointed
! if we did, for though doctors spend
| their lives in efforts to induce people to
/ take care of their health, it is unusual
/ for a busy doctor to take even ordinary
care Of himself. His sleep is broken,
( his meals are irregular, he overworks
himself; very likely he smokes too
much. But as long as our confidence in
his skill is unimpaired we don't criticise
/ him.
Doctors are supposed to know what
is good for themselves, and in their
hands we leave the responsibility for
their own cases as well as for ours. To
be sure. we scott a great deal at the
medical profession, carp At its contra
dictions and remark upon its limita-
tions, but in the long run the good doc
tors get the credit that is theS due,
even though its arrears may not come
in until after they are dead

Rob a Fortune in Daylight.

Bold daylight robbery was committed
on the farm of Conrad Elgert, residing a
few miles north of La Crosse, from whom
a fortune was stolen. Elgert was at
work in the field near his house, but ow-
ing to his extreme age his sight and hear
ing have been impaired. When he went
to his house he found that the trunk con-
tanning his money had been broken into
and that nearly $1,000 in gold had been
stolen. He has been very saving and
has accumulated a large fortune, but
through several unusual misfortunes lost
all but the $1,000, which is now also
gone. A part of this fortune was found
buried on the farm and was stolen, while
another large amount was lost in a finan-
cial disaster. With the theft of the bal
ance he is left penniless.
