VIVA. Nebraska Produced.

A report has been compiled by the
state bureau of labor and Industrial
statistics, for Nebraska. giving for the
first time what are said to be prac-
tically accurate crop statistics for the
wear 1901. 1t is shown that 5,S53.967
acres were planted with corn, yielding
72,445,221 bushels, as against an acre
age of 6,291, 050 and a yield of 1885,
317 bushels the year previous. The
wheat crop last year was 50.227, 4s4
bushels as against 37,74S,245 bushels
in 1900. and the increase In acreage
was about 80 per cent.
The figures presented by the depart
ment show that the acreage of corn
has been gradually decreasing since
1899, while the acreage of wheat has
been rapidly increasing. With corn
smaller acreage and smaller yield in
1901 made better prices for the farm
ers, so that the total value of the crop
does not fall many millions below that
of 1900.
Taking 80 cents bushel as the
average price for corn paid to farm
ers in 1900, it is estimated that the val
ue of the crop of that year was $45,-
96S, 10144. Conceding that the aver
age price paid for corn In 1901 was
only As cents bushel the value of
last years crop may be said to be at
least s32,9O0.352. OF course, all corn
was not sold during the year in which
it was raised, so that the figures just
given are merely estimates of the wall
Tie of the crops.
1t is estimated that the acreage of
winter wheat sown last fall exceeds
that of the previous year by 81 per
cent. Reports from the various sec.
tons OF the state indicate that the
condition of wheat is about per cent
better than at the corresponding time
the wear previous.

PRESIDENT OH SURGEONS table,
FEST Is IMPERATIVE.
Operated on for an Abscess on the
LEG Caused by the Trolley
Car Accident

President Roosevelts Western trip
came to an untlmely end at Indian
apols, Ind. Tuesday. He was found
90 be suffering from a swelling In the
LETT leg between the knee and the
ankle, which required immediate sur
gical attention, and, instead of being
taken to the train to continue his jour
ney, he was conveyed to st. Vincent s
hospital. where he was operated on.
The operation occurred at i:30 o'clock,
and lasted only a short time. Then
he was taken to a private room in the
hospital to rest. After taking light
luncheon at 1880 p. m. he was con.
yeyed on stretcher to his train,
which had been backed up on "Y"
near the hospital and the train left
for Washington. The use of the knife
was brief and did not involve any i'm.
portant consequences to the Presi.
dents general health. The first public
knowledge of the affair came in the
form of a bulletin issued by Secretary
Cortelyou After the President en-.

and waited for instructions from the
physicians and surgeons, watching
their preparations with keen interest.

coat and vest A moment later he was
told simply to remove his shoe and the
physicians would be required to bare
the leg only This done, the President
walked to the operating table. and as
he lay down he remarked with smile:
Gentlemen. you are formal. | see
you have your gloves on" The opera
tion was begun without delay. The
pain caused the President to mutter
several times in low voice. but he
said nothing that was distinct except
to ask for a glass of water before the
needle had been removed. After the
operation was over he made several
laughing remarks concerning trivial
matters and asked IL he would be al

walk upstairs himself. He was con.

EXTENSIVE FRAUDS.
Greig's DefaIeations Amount to over
$4,000 Pounds, and He Had
Confederates.

Indications are that the Carnegie
Steel Company has been systematical-
ly robbed for years by organized
crooks, associated with Lawrence n.
Grcig, the confidential clerk of
Colonel Millard Hunsiker, its London
agent. Greigs defalcations so far
discovered exceed $4,000. He used
the funds to run four wildcat com
panies, for each of which he main
tanned separate elaborate city offices.
The company has secured the best
legal talent. and will push the case
to the limit. Scotland Yard detec-
tives at work on the case promise the
greatest sensation in years. Grelg,
who was remanded on the charge of
forging checks amounting to s9500,
purporting to have been signed by
Colonel Hunsiker, was given a second
hearing and again remanded. Coun-
sci for the prosecution said that prob.
ably others were implicated in the
case. which promised to develop
largely. The information disclosed
that not only had forgerles been com.
mitted, but embezzlement and theft
of correspondence from Pittsburg to
the Carnegie Company. Counsel
handed in forged checks for s90.0oo
and $4,000, respectively He said
the forgeries were all of great magni.
tude. The prisoner. he declared, kept
up a lavish establishment at Kings.
ton-upon-Thames, and steps we're be.
ing taken to prevent the removal of
his handsome furniture. Counsel
also handed the magistrate a letter
from prisoner in Exeter Jail, which,
the magistrate said. threw quite a
new light on the case. Counsel added
that an examination of the books
showed not only that Greig's forgeries
we're for very large amount, but
that there had been an extensive fal.
sification Of the books. The prisoner
had apparently been carrying on large
businesses. At various addresses in
the city the police have seized a mass
OF documents and correspondence.
They also discovered that chloride
Of lime had been used in erasing
names from checks. Colonel Hun
skier said that some of the money had
been recovered.
