LINCOLN, Sept. observation-disclosures
Savage and Adjutant General Colby have
decided to adhere to their former ruling,
by which they approved the election Of
Samuel e. Yoder as captain Of the battery
of artillery at wymore. This latest de-
cision was given today after listening to
exteId ed argumen by former Captain
Murdoch, who is contesting the election.
All Of the high military authorities who
had jurisdiction in this case were Of one
mind. Judge Advocate General Browne
gave a written opinion, in which he held
that the election Of Captain Yoder was
legal in every respect and Attorney Gen
eral Prout, when asked for his views gave
a similar opinion.
This action BY the governor and the ad-
tutant general is considered final. Adiu-
tant General Colby said this afternoon that
he would at once issue a formal order APP
proving the election.
The election Of William II. Ray as cap
tain OF Company I Of the Second regiment,
stationed at Tecumseb, has been APP
proved by the adjutant general. An cleo
tion has been ordered to I'LL the vacancy
in the office Of captain of Company X of the
Second regiment, stationed at Schuyler,

artillery OF wymore TO proceed overland to
Fort Riley. Kan, where they will partici-
pate with the two Nebraska regiments Of
infantry in the military maneuvers. The
encampment at Fort Riley will begin on
September 20 and continue for ten days.
Nearly all companies in the First and Sec
ond regiments have already voted In favor
of attending the eneampment and it is ex-
,pected that the expression will be made
unanimous so far as the company organi-
cations are concerned
Drop Crop Bulletins.
The Nebraska section Of the climate and
crop service today issued its last bulletin
for the year. 1t tells the sam tale Of good
crop conditions in all parts OF the state.
Incidentally Mr.. Loveland says that never
since he has been connected with the de-
partment have the crop conditions been
better. His reports, which are considered
authentic, show that the yield per acre will
be unusually large The acreage OF winter
wheat increased materially, while the acre
age Of spring wheat declined. Corn re-
manned almost stationary, there being a
slight decrease in many places, owing to
the increase in the acreage OF wheat.
The fact that the department will issue
no more bulletins is a convincing indication
that corn is entirely out of danger. in fact
Mr.. Loveland says that the weather during
the remainder of the fall will have but
little effect.
