THERE WAS FROST
FreezingTemperature Prevailed
Last Night Over Large Area.
Was General i'm Nebraska and
Western Iowa.
CORN WAS DAMAGED
In the North and West Portion
of Nebraska.
Vegetables We're Injured in All
Parts of the State.

Omaha, Neb.. Sept. 16.-Frost was
general last night over Nebraska and
western Iowa. Two-thirds of the coun-
ties of this state report frosts, but in a
very large portion of them it was light,
owing to cloudy skies. The effect of
the severe weather on corn is uncertain,
bat in most localities the crop is be-
lieved to be beyond severe injury.
Des Moines, Ia, Sept ia rift in
the clouds which have been hanging
over the state for the last three days
appeared in the Northwestern part of
the state at o'clock this morning and
the first frost followed. The weather
bureau is of the opinion that the clear
ing will spread over the state and the
frost which is following will fall like
mantle over the corn crop. If it is
of a freezing nature the crop will suffer
an inestimable damage. The tempera-
ture at Sioux City was "a above, at
Omaha it was 80, and at Des Moines 40
this morning. Grain reports declare
that a strip of country from Fonda to
Rockwell City, in the northwest Suf-
fered from frost last night, but that
the damage was not 50 serious as might
be imagined.
t'All Iowa is threatened with frost, -
said J. r. Sage. director of the Iowa
weather and crop service. Fully two
weeks of warm weather are needed to
ripen the corr crop. With such con-
dition staring us in the face, the situ-
alton is very grave
Lincoln, Neb., Sept 16.-Frost came
to nearly every part of Nebraska last
night, and in the north and western
portions of the state the damage is con-
siderable. In these sections it was suf-
ficiently heavy to kill. while in the
eastern and southern portions of the
state the frost was light enough to
help the development of the corn but
not heavy enough to damage it. The
Garden vegetables were damaged in all
parts of the state Grains were not Sc
rlously hurt in any portion of the state.
St Paul. Mimi, Sept. 16-The weather
IN Minnesota continues damp and the
weather observer says that is the only
reason why there is no frost in this
state He says that reports received
here today show from heavy to killing
frosts from Huron, S d. to North
ing frost at Huron, S. D.. Sioux CITY,
Ia. North Platte, Neb.. and Bismarck,
n. D.
A dispatch from Beresford, S. D.,
which is the center of the corn grow
ing country says that killing frost
came last night and that corn suffered
badly. 1t is estimated. however, that
two-thirds of the crop is safe.
Denver Colo, Sept. 16.-A severe
frost and freeze last night in this vi
cinity and through the agricultural dis
damage to all crops except sugar -beets.
Potato buyers in Greeley estimate that
the potato crop will be diminished by
LOCO carloads.

TO AID STUDENTS.
A System of Advisers at X. U. to Aid
in Selecting Course.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 16-Kansas par
ents who have sons and daughters in the
state university will doubtless be glad to
learn of the new rule whereby all stu
dents get advisers in their department
These advisers are members of the fac
ulty to advise students and discuss any
thing with them that the students wish
help about. There are four for the SEN
ior class, five for the junior, six for the
sophomores and eight for the freshmen.
The dean of the department appoints the
adviser.
One of the chief aims of the advisory
system is to help the students lay out a
course that will best fit them for their
life work in whatever profession they
may choose and also to bring them into
closer social communication with the
faculty The students like the idea.

KILLING FROST
Reported from Points in West.

Kansas City Mo, Sept 16.-The

Kan, reports a temperature of SO, while

more of sun to fully ripen.
