Estimates of Corn Damage.

FREMONT. Neb., Sept. 16.-(Special.)-
There is considerable difference of opinion
among farmers and others in regard to the
condition Of the corn crop. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that a good part OF the
early corn was beyond the reach Of damage
by the frost of last week, but there are
some fields Of that planted the earliest
that are badly hurt. All late corn is in
Jured. A farmer who has looked through a
large number of fields claims that so per
cent Of the corn is badly hurt. Others
place the amount damaged at 10 per cent.
As the frost was heavy in streaks, no re-
liable estimate can be made Of the damages
until after busking.

A Fine Rain,

On Wednesday night rain fell here for sew.
eral hours, a good part of the time heavy
downpour. The lightning was vivid and
near; several of our telephones were burned
out, the wires having been overchargel
twice. At the first flash, balls Of fire were
seen dropping from the wires at several
points and the report though not loud was
peculiar.
The storm came from the west where at
several points great damage was done. In
the State of Indiana 1t was a cyclone and
caused damage amounting to 81 900, 900. A
dispatch states that hundreds of houses and
thousands of trees were blown down. In
South Dakota and Iowa it was tornado; al
one point barn was picked up and carried
over corn crib. The barometer went tc
the lowest point ever known there-99.2-
and during the storm snow fell for several
minutes and that was followed by a severe
hailstorm in Michigan.

King Edward Ill.

An attack of perityphltis, known here as
appendicitis, has required II surgical opera
ton on King Edward With of Great Brit
ain. The operation was performed on Tues
day and necessarily all further thought of
the coronation, which was to have taken
place today has been indefinitely postponed.
The operation was successfully performed
but it will be several days before he can be
considered out of danger. The kings duties
as such, have probsbly been the cause of his
breaking down Us he was upward of fitynine
wears old when he succeeded TO the throne.
He had been one of the free and easy men OF
England prior to that time, having few real
cares and many pleasures. Since his acces-
sion he has been scrupulously exact in the
performance IF every duty and those of his
approaching coronation have been manifold
and exacting and under them he has broken
down, just two days in advance of his coro'
nation.
King Edward is curiously superstitious
for man of his position in life and the
many predictions of evil to befal him.
among them, one that he will not live to be
crowned, seems to have upset him.
He is today 90 years, months and II days
old; he has two sons, three daughters and
six grandchildren living. He is the thirty
ninth ruler of England since William the
Norman conquerer and the tifiyfifth since
Alfred the Great who died 1,001 years ago.
The next in line to the throne is George
Frederick Ernest Albert born June 3, 1865
and who, upon the death of his elder brother
Albert Victor, in 1892, became next in sue,
cesson to the throne. He married Princess
Victoria Mary of Teck, who had been be-
tro,hed to Albert Victor.
The latest reports of the general condition
of the King would seem to point to fatal
ending. At O'Clock on Wednesday morn
ing he suffered serious relapse, but from
which he rallied quickly. The crisis is ex
pccted today.

An Alleged Witticjsm.

Here's Hagerstown Globe joke what do
you think Of it as piece of real funny stuff,
which it is presumed to be?
"A gentleman was In Hagerst0wn the
other day who had a new locust story that
deserves 10 be recorded with some of the
snake illusions that now and then appear in
the newspapers.
He told of man living al Thurmont who
seventeen years ago was stung in the fleshY
part of the back, near the shoulder, by To-
Gust. He experienced no special inconveni-
euce at the time and finally the incident
passed out of bis mind, 10 be recalled only by
the return of the seventeen year locuss.
About the time scientists and newspapers
began telling of the approach of the locusts,
the gentleman began to complain of pain
in he back. He at first thought he had an
attack of rheumatism, but later concluded it
was boil, but as the sore did not develop
rapidly enough for the latter and as the
swelling was too pronounced to be attribu-
ted to the former; the man became alarmed.
Finally he recalled the locust sting Incl
dent and now he is convinced that the swell
ing Is caused by the growth of the eggs of
cicada deposited IN his back nearly score
of years ago, and also that in due time the
locuss will force their way to the surface
and raise up their voices In lamentation to
their absent friend Pharaoh.
The gentleman did not see the sore spot
on the mans back, but he saw man who
knew of the other man, who knew that the
man had back and, then, he heard lot OF
Iocusts singing in the mountain, SO he felt
sure there must be something in the story, If
not In the mans back"

Oh. how we miss the smiling face,
Was once so bright and true;
But now has gone so far above.
But we shall meet her there.
You've laid her in the silent grave,
Among the slumbering dead to rest;
And know her happy spirit now.
Is numbered with the best
Heaven retaineth now your treasure,
Earth the lonely basket keeps
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where your darling Annie sleeps.
She Is now where harps are ringing,
In the heavenly courts above;
And her silvery voice is singing,
Glad spirit, hymns of love.
