Chicago News: II the wife is untidy the
husband may try to get united.
Truth is mighty enough to become more
prevalent than It is.
The average man imagines that he in
horited Jobs troubles.
No mai is half as good as he expects
his daughters husband to be.
One way to avoid disappointment is to
seek something other people don't want.
Crops may COM and crops nay 90, but
tho annual crop Of sweet girl graduates
never fails.
1t is easier to get a man to tell you how
a thing should be done than II is to get a
man to do it.
The man who is always calling for the
fool-killer would be the first to hide
IL he saw him coming.
After making his first public speech the
average man cannot understand why he
isn't famous the next morning.
A word to the wise may be sufficient
yet doubtless you have observed that most
of the letters you receive are written at

side OF the stream. Leaving his boat at
the bank of the river he ran as fast as
possible to the train dispatcher's office and
reached there barely in time to prevent a
more terrible disaster. The train was Just
ready to start for the river and might
have rushed across the bridge without the
destruction being noticed until it was too
late.
The loss of these two spans represented
a capital OF about $3.50, 900 or more, as the
bridge was built at a cost of about 81, 00O,-
600, and 1t was composed Of eleven spans,
1850 feet in length. Several months were
consumed in the work of reparation. In
the meantime there was a heavy freight
and passenger blockade, as it was neces-
sary to carry both across the river at
Plattsmouth and Blair ferries. Tele-
graphic communications were cut of with
the east for some time and there were
other serious losses to Omaha and sur
rounding country.
The narration OF the bridge disaster
brings up two other serious accidents
which occurred at or near the same fatal
scene. On July 6, 1887, General Terry,
one OF the old-time steamboats, of the
Missouri, collided with a pier of the bridge
and was sunk. Its remains are still In
the bosom Of the old stream. The boat
was carrying about seventy soldiers from
Fort Keogh and had considerable cargo on,
but all the men escaped. During the fol-

rife storm OF August rs, 1877, which swept
away two spans Of the bridge at the east

displaced probably 1900 cubic yards of
roadbed, destroyed three sets of tracks on
the north side of the embankment and ne.

The accident Monday did not interfere
with the passage Of trains a minute, while
that Of August rs, 1877, shut on trafhc over
the bridge for several months. There is
one feature alike in both, however; there
were no lives lost in either case, though
In the former one narrowly escaped.

Wherever worlds are swung IL air,
Under our own blue skies,
Or in far spaces none hath known
Save God alone
He bUfIdeth always, room OF room.
Nor knoWeth new, nor Old
Under His hand. as blossoms bloom,
SO 90 the worlds unfold;
With neither noise nor strain OF strength
From length 10 length
His substance doth not fail, uor spoil,
No Over-broOding curse
Lieth upon His tfreless toll
Who builds the Universe;
He knows not heaviness, nor haste
Nor want, nor waste
How beautiful He buildeth all
The heavens and earth recite,
Though slow as creeps through crannied
wall
The unreluctant Eight
Our hearts let in, as 'twere distress,
Lies lOveliness-
He hath no lack for any child,
Nor here, nor anywhere;
Who seems to lack hath been beguiled
Far from the gates Of prayer;
Where all may enter without stealth
Into Gods wealth.
We have but gIimpsed a hallway here,
YOn tapestry Of Death,
Though wrought with curious forms Of
fear,
Is lifted with a breath,
And 10, His parlors stretch away
For aye, for aye.

Houses OF Cinnamon and Relieve Them
OF Their Treasures.

Boise, Ida, Aug. 13.-News has
been received here of an outrage
committed by outlaws at Mormon
basin, in the MaIheur country, in
eastern Oregon. There was a settle
ment known as Chinatown, occupied

laws set fire to the houses occupied
by the Chinese. The latter gathered
up their money and rushed out only
TO be met by the robbers, who
knocked them down and relieved
them Of their treasure There were
% houses burned. Information con-
corning the affair is meager and it is
not known whether there were any
fatalities.

GREATEST OF ALL CEREALS
Statistics Of Wheat and Corn Crops.
Show Astonishing Records.
Nature and Farmers Have Outdone
All ReeOrds-AveraEe Yield and
Profit Of Wheat and Corn
Per Acre for 1902

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Nature and the
farmers OF the United States have
OutdOne themselves in the wheat,
corn and oats crops Of 1902. The most
bOuntiful harvest in the history Of
the nation has already been gaTnered
or is practically immune against
damage by unfavorable weather.
Wisconsin announces to the world
that she has the biggest cat crop she
ever raised, and that her corn is in
excellent condition Indiana calls
her corn crop phenomenal" and
submits the figures-17O,O OO, 600 bush
els-to prove II.
Nebraska declares that she has 40
600, 900 bushels more corn in her fields
than she ever had before, and Illi-
nOis hopes to add nearly 100000, 900 to
her last crop Of that cereal.
Ohio makes her wheat crop Prac-
ticalIy the same as last year, and
raises her corn limit 1000, 900 bush
eds.
Kansas viii not raise more than
half as much wheat as she did in 1901,
but she makes up for this loss with
corn crop estimated at 10000
bushels.
Oklahoma promises something like
Isl, 600, 600 bushels Of wheat and S.
OOO,O 900 Of corn.
Up in the big spring wheat country
Of Minnesota and the Dakotas the
harvest has begun with a condition
above 90 points. Statisticians now
believe the wheat crop Of 1902 viii
exceed that of its predecessor in 1901
by at least 25,OOO,OOO bushels. That
Is the latest estimate of B. W. Snow,
one of the best-knOwn crop experts
in the country. His total for the
wheat crop will be us, 600, 900 bushels.
The same authority says the corn
harvest viii be $500, 900, 900, or near
" double that Of a year ago. He
puts the oats crop at SIS, 100000 bush
els.
Missouri state authorities are not
satisfied with the figures on wheat
credited to that state by the agri-
cultural department at Washington.
They announced that the state viii
contribute 63,7sO,OOO bushels OF wheat
this year, or a little more than
double the amount produced a year
ago. The government in July esti-
mated Alissouri's crop at Only &c.
225, 900.
The profit on corn and wheat has
been figured down TO an average per
acre. This year the average yield
Of corn is something ike 30 bushels
per acre, and the cost Of producing
it is S5.75 per acre. Consequently.
the cost Of planting, cultivating and
gathering the corn crop for the fail
Of 1902 will be $500. 900. 900. The value
Of the corn crop in 1901 was 1921. OOO,
600, but the corn went to a high price
certain seasons. It is probable that
corn, unless cornered, will sell at
cheaper price this year, but the farm
ers will more than double their
money on corn
The wheat crop Of the United
States sold for s476.s5O.155 in 1901.
There is every probability the crop
will be as large this year, but the
wonderful increase in corn produc-
ton is likely to result in lowering
the average price obtained for wheat.
