NEBRASKA CROPS.
Showers in Parts of States Have Been
Very Beneficial.

Lincoln, Neb, Aug. 1.-THE sum-
mary of the conditions of crops by the
weather bureau says:
The past week has been cool with
light showers in eastern and heavy
showers in central and western coun-
ties. The daily mean temperature has
averaged 6 degrees below normal in
eastern counties and 4 below in west
ern.
Showers have occurred in nearly all
parts of the state. The rainfall was
generally less than half an inch in
eastern counties but exceeded an inch
in a considerable area in western
counties and in some places exceeded
two inches.
Stacking and threshing have pro-
crossed rapidly the past week, especial
ly in eastern counties. Good progress
IA also made in securing the excellent
crop of wild or prairie hay. The har-
vest of oats and spring wheat is near
ing completion in the northern coun-
ties. A number of hail storms occurred
in western counties, damaging crops in
small areas. Corn has grown we'll and
continues very promising but higher
temperature is needed. The rains in
the southwestern counties We're very
beneficial to corn. In the southeastern
counties generally corr needs rain.
EARLY corn has reached the roasting
ear stage while some late corn is just
laSSellnS. Inc ground IN most parts OIL
the state is too dry to pillow to adj
vantage.
Iowa Crop Conditions.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 10.-The Iowa
weather and crop bureau has ISSUED the
following bulletin:
The daily mean temperature Of the past
week was 2 to 4 degrees below normal.
The nights We're cool, and some of the
northern stations reported the minimum
below 40 degrees on the night of the 7th.
The amount of rainfall was very small
except in a limited portion of che north
central district.
The dry weather. with generally clear,
warm days, made favorable conditions for
finishing the harvest of oats, spring
wheat and timothy dor seed), and for
stacking and threshing operations. Re
ports from threshers In northern and cen
trail districts indicate fairly good yield
and quality of oats and barley, with some
local exceptions.
Reports as to the corn crop are gener-
ally more cheerful in tone than was re-
ccived In previous weeks. Though late
and somewhat below normal in stand, the
crop as a whole has made fair progress
and with favorable conditions in the flu.
ture the output Is likely TO be up TO the
average OF the past fifteen years.
Spring wheat is quite disappointing ir
sections where acreage is largest, tbs
rapid decline in condition being caused by
rust and blight.

JAPANESE ARE DISAPPOINTED
Port Arthur Is Harder to Take Than
They Expected.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-S p. m.-No It'd
ings of a definite character from Port
Arthur or Lao Yang nave reached the
public today. 1t is understood that a
hull followed the desperate fighting of
the earlier half of the week at Port
Arthur. The lull was for the purpose
of allowing the tired men to rest
arranging certain things in the plan
of attack and for completing prepara-
heavier. The Japanese guns continue
to shell the defensss of the fortress,
but the majority of the forces are not
engaged. Port Arthur proving hard
er to reduce and capture than the
general public of Japan expected. The
public which has been confidently
awaiting the fall of the place for the
past month, is disappointed at the de-
lay. Much regret is expressed at the
heavy losses, but the nation is un-
wavering in it's grim determination to
hammer and harass Port Arthur until
it falls and it is prepared to pay the
cost, however heavy it may be.

A GENERAL ADVANCE.

Russians Report Losses of ,45O

RumOr AfIoat That Japanese
Have Entered Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-The first
battle of what may be regarded as a
general advance of the japanese on
Lao Yang was fought on August 20,
with the result that the Russians at
the close of the fighting still held the
positions and had inflicted great loss on
the Japnese completely dismantling
several batteries which attempted to
lombard the main position at Liandian-
sian- The Russian losses altogether
We're 1,450 killed, or wounded.
A long official telegram has been re-
ceived at the war office but it does not
give a hint of what is transpirins to-
day. 1t is more than probable however,
that the Japanese have resumed their
attempt to reach Lao Yang. The si-
lence on this point of the special dis
patches filed at Lao Yang this morn
ing rather confirms this view.
The hottest fighting occurred in the
valley of the Ian, a, small tributary of
the Taitse, around Tsegow. a place be-
tween Amping and Liandiansian. Gen.
Kuroki's first aim apparently was to
separate the two principal Russian posi-
tions, as forecasted to these dispatches
August 26. The Russians in the valley
of the Ian lost !, ,450 men.
General Kuroki's army advanced in
three strong columns one northward
along the valley of the Sindahai, a trib-
utary of the Taitee, as far as Lao Din
Tan, wnen a portion of this force
marched westward to Mao pass, threat
ening AnshanShan, the other portion
pushing up the stream to Tun Sin Bu,
four miles southwest of Liandiansian,
where it was stopped by General Kuro-
patkin'S coSSackS. The second column
marched along the high roads and oc-
cupied Erdahe, when the Japanese bat
teries shelled Liandiansian "a couple of
miles northwest, until the fire of the
guns Silenced them. Several
japanese batteries were completely dis
mantled and were abandoned by their
gunners. The fighting at Tsegow was
of the most desperate description. The
Japanese had the advantage of noun
