CROPS IN SEWARD COUNTY
Excessive Rains Darken bright Out
look, but Oats Suffer
Least Damage.

BEAVER CROSSING. Neb., July e.-(spe-
cial.)-During the month Of June fifteen
inches Of water fell here, and thus far in
July there have been about six inches OF
precipitation. This is the most that has
ever fallen in the same length OF time in
this part Of the state.
The gardeners and potato growers have
suffered heavily as a result OF so much
rain.
What is left OF the potato crop is ex-
~cellent. A large acreage was planted, but
the heavy rains have destroyed 7 or 8 per
cent Of the crop.
The wheat crop was as promising as
could be desired. but the rains have de-
stroyed about 20 per cent Of 1t. That
which has been harvested is being damaged
somewhat in the shock.
The cat crop is nne and has been dam
aged as yet but little. Some OF the earliest
will be harvested this week.
The corn crop was very badly damaged
by hail on June II and retarded by con-
tinued cold and wet weather for two
weeks, but is now growing rapidly.
The river was again out Of it's banks
on Sunday and Monday and 1t was feared
the gardeners would again suffer heavy
losses, but the water is now receding.

a III " Noll-
plete relief. and l am sure that a continue
alton of them will effect a permanent
cure. Peruna is surely a wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections.-J. D.. Botkin.
This Is a case Of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years, ac-
cording to his statement. and Peruna has
at once come to his relief. promptly accom-
plishing for him more benefit than he had
been able to find in all other remedies dur
ing a quarter Of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man OF wealth
and influence, like a Congressman of the
great United States, has left no ordinary
means untried and no stone unturned to
find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify the
claim not only that dyspepsia is due to
catarrh Of the stomach. but also that Pc
runa will cure catarrh Of the stomach, it
is impossible to imagine how any evidence
could do so.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement Of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Captain o. Bertoletto Of the Italian
Barque "Lincelles," in a recent letter from
the chief office of the Italian Barque Lin
c%elles, Pensacola, Fla, writes:
II have suffered for several years
with chrdnie catarrh of the stom-
ach. The doctors prescribed for me
without my receiving the least
benefit. Through one OF your PAM
phlets 1 began the use OF Peruna,
and two bottles have entirely cured
me. l recon- mend Peruna to all
my friends" o. Bertoletto.
In catarrh Of the stomach, as we'll as ca
tarrh of any part OF the body, Peruna is
the remedy. AS has been often said II Pc
runa will cure cstarrh Of one part, 1t will
cure catarrh Of any other part of the body.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. and
the remedy that will cure it anywhere
will cure 1t everywhere.

Arrangement for Second.

The second and more important set of
summer maneuvers will consist Of a naval
attack on a point on the north Atlantic
coast by a supposed hostile feet, which at
tack is to be met by a joint defense by the
army and militia. assisted by a small num-
Der of naval vessels detached for the pur-
pose from the North Atlantic squadron.
Active preparations are in progress by
the army for its part in the coming
maneuvers. The defense will be under the
general direction of the commanding officer
Of the east, although the actual work de-
wolves upon the coast artillery, whose
officers in the districts which are to be
attacked will be in active command. 1t has
been determined that the attack will be
made between New Bedford, Mass, on the
east coast, and the eastern defenses OF
Long Island sound. This will include the
artillery district OF Narragansett, COM
manded by Colonel Henry C. Hasbrouck,
and tho district of New London, COM
manded by Lieutenant Colonel J. NJ. K.
Davis. The Narragansett district includes
Forts Adams, Wetherell and Greble, Rhode
Island, and Rodman, Massachusetts. The
New London district is composed of Forts
Tumbull, Connecticut, Mansfield, Rhode
Island, II. G. Wright, Niche and Terry.

and are located for the purpose of defend
ing all the cities Of the sound as we'll as
the upper approach to New York City. All
the engineer officers available have been
ordered to these districts and are direct
ing the preparations Of such portion OF
the defense as would come under their
charge.
Ordnance officers have been directed to
give attention to the inspection Of arms
and quantities of ammunition with blank
charges have been sent to the various
forts.
Not only will the defense consist Of
handling and firing the guns, but will also
be q test of the appliances, such as range
finders, telegraphic facilities, signal opera
lions and everything else that is necessary
In a perfect seacoast fort.
Within the radius OF the operations the
army will have no notice of where and
when the attack will be made. The army
must find tina out for itself. The signal
corps will be utilized for this purpose as
we'll as all telegraph and telephone stations
| along the coast. The navy will take every
precaution to conceal the point OF attack
and the army will do it's utmost to find
out Just where the fleet will approach the
coast and at what time. Owing to the
secrecy to be maintained by the navy the
troops in the different forts will be kept
in a state Of readiness, either for a day
or night attack.

scribed. The duty Of the defending squad
ron will be to send out scouts to locate the
"enemy's" vessels before they can reach
the coast.
