ton, affirmed undying allegiance to the last
national and state platforms Of the party,

certain terms and pats the fusion members
of congress from Nebraska on the back
most lovingly.

cratic convention brought forth no other
name than that Of Robinson. Boone county

ing him. The chief speeches, however,
were made by Memminger Of Madison and
spokes Of Merrlck, both Of whom e~ulogized
the candidate in "impassioned speeches.
In the populist convention an informal
ballot gave Robinson 81, r. o Tawney of
Pierce II, Sprecher 80, Allen 6, R. D. Kelley
Of Dodge 8. On the succeeding ballot
Tawney got lit to Robinson's 81 and he was

ton and In the populist convention, during
the progress of the third ballot, Tawney

INNocENTS GET BOGUS COIN
Women and Children I'm Hastings
Are Victims of Three
Counterfeiters.

HASTINGS, Neb., July 1~5.-(special Tele-
gram.)-A couple Of counterfeiters struck
Hastings yesterday and succeeded in ex-
changing several spurious coins for the
genuine article.
One Of them entered c. A. Shirey's res
taurant during the absence OF the proprietor
and asked for change for a $40 gold piece.
The little girl behind the counter gave him
the correct change and was handed what APP
peared to be a $40 gold piece. When the
proprietor returned and noticed the coin In
the draw he tested 1t and found II to be
counterfeit. The police were notified. but
the counterfeters had made their escape.
1t seems that there are two or three in
the gang and that they make II a point to
pass off their spurious coins on women
and little girls. The coin is Just the
weight of a IS dollar gold piece and is
dated 1898.

WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE
Crops in District East Of Rocky Mountains
Show Improvement.
CORN MAKES PROGRESS DURING WEEK
Spring wheat is Heading while oats
Continue I'm PrOmIsing Condition
save In Nebraska and
Iowa.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The following
is the Weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions:
Very favorable temperatures prevailing
during the week ended July IL, in all dis
tricts east OF the Rocky Mountains, with the
exception Of the central and east Gulf states,
which have suffered somewhat from excess
sive heat. A considerable portion Of these
last mentioned districts, have, however. re-
ceived much needed rains, relieving to a
great extent the severe drouth that has pre-
vailed for several weeks, although more
rain is greatly needed in some sections.
Heavy rains have continued In the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys and portions
of the Lake regions, delaying cultivation and
causing destructive freshets In places. The
central and southern Rocky Mountain re-
gions have suffered somewhat from low
temperatures and frosts. Highly favorable
conditions prevailed on the Pacific coast,
especially in oregon and Washington.
The corn crop as a whole, in the prlnci-
pal corn states, has made very favorable
progress, although needing cultivation In
portions Of Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys and Lake regions as a result Of con-
tinued rains, which have also reduced the
acreage somewhat In Iowa. In New Eng
land. New York and North Dakota corn is
very UNLAWFUL
Winter wheat is nearing completion, ex-
cept in the northern portion Of the winter
wheat belt. The crop has experienced gen.
eral slump, except in the Missouri valley
where complaints continue of speculation IN
stack and shocks. The north Pacific coast
winter wheat Is maturing nicely and har-
vest will begin in oregon in about ten
days.
Spring wheat is now heading in the
northern portion of the spring wheat re-
gion and the general outlook for this cror
continues promising, although It is late In
northern Minnesota. In Iowa, where the
crop has been damaged somewhat by rust
the outlook is less favorable.
Oats continue in promising condition, but
lodging is reported quite extensively in Ne
braska and Iowa and to some extent In
Ohio. Harvesting has been interrupted by
wet weather In the lower Missouri valley
but has made good progress elsewhere.
A general improvement In the condition Of
the cotton is indicated, although in the cen
trail and eastern districts the plant Il
small, and blooming to top is extensively
reported. In Texas, except In the regior
Of drouth, which comprises less than 10 pei
cent Of the cotton area. the crop has made
rapid growth, and In many sections thu
prospects are fattering.
