WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending August g, 19Ot

For the Week Ending August 22, 1903.
 The weather conditions during the past week continued highly faVoraple to the growth of vegetation and 10 stock interests. Temperatures were somewhat lower than during the pre- ceding week, but generally the weather was moderately warm. CloudlnesS prevailed generally during the week. and the air was rather humid. snow CTS occurred over most of the territory during the week. These were generally of a local character and varied from very light to very heavy. Considerable damage in a few localities resulted from high water due to heavy local showers. There is an abundance of irrigation water, but it is very muddy Many of the canals have been damagei by flood. As a result of the favorable conditions which have prevailed, al! growing crops have made excellent progress. Late planted corn and sor- ghum have made fine growth and are now in very promising condition. There has been some damage to corn, as well as to other crops, by hail in the northern part of the territory. Grain is reported to be doing well. AL falfa is making fine growth. In the northern part of the territory the cut ting of the second crop has been de- layed by rain, but the crop is promis
 ing. Considerable hay has been dam aged by rain in Graham county. The fifth crop of alfalfa is coming on nicely in the lower Colorado valley, but it will probably be not quite so heavy as earlier crops. A rapid growth has been started in Maricopa county since the rains began and in some places the crop is now ready to be cut. Po- tatoes are promising, but in Coconino county the growth is largely in the tops. Gardens are doing finely. Mel ons are setting nicely on vines in nor thern districts. The ranges have. inn proved very rapidly and are now in very fine condition. The prospects for winter feed are now excellent. Stock water is abundant. Springs are beginning to run again. Stock of all kinds have improved greatly. In many localities cattle have already come to be in excellent condition again. Trees and brush. which appeared to be dead in many localities, are again putting forth leaves.

Thought to Have Been Put There After
 t4is Murder.

Rawlins, Wye. ug. 2s-Wm. T. Me Ginnis of Lander, WyO., was found dead on the railroad at Ridge. His head had been severed from his body by a train. From indications the au- thorities entertain the theory that the man was murdered and robbed before decapitation occurred, the body being so placed that the first train would cut off the head. McGinnis had relatives in Chicago and had announced his in- tention of going to that city before leaving Lander.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The members of the teamster's union, who have been on strike for several weeks in an effort to aid the striking butchers at the stock yards, held a protracted meeting tonight to determine whether or not they should withdraw from the strike.
 The meeting lasted until after mid night and at times the arguments were heated. It was finally decided that the teamsters as a body would refuse to give further assistance to the strike, and the question of remaining on strike or of going back to work was left to a vote of the various local un- ions

HALF THE TICKETS SOLD.
Large Attendance at Kansas Day
Club Is Assured.

Secretary Nellis of the Kansas Day
club, announces that half of the tickets
for the Kansas Day banquet have al
ready been disposed of and that they
are going fast.
1t is desired by those in charge of the
banquet that the tickets may be sold
as far in advance of the banquet as
possible, and it will then be possible to
make preparations accordingly. When
the tickets are gone the sale will stop,
and preparations will be made for TAX
ing care Of just that many people. BY
knowing several days beforehand just
how many persons there will be at the
banquet, those in charge can prepare to
have everything in readiness for just
that number, and there will be no trou-
BILE in serving the spread as has some
times been the case.
The price of the tickets is two dol
lars, a dollar cheaper than it was a
year ago, when it was necessary to hold
the banquet in Security hall and the
number was much more limited than
this year. when it will be held in Rep
resentativo hall
The banquet will come two weeks
from last Friday evening. Secretary
Nellis therefore hopes to dispose of the
balance of the tickets the coming week.
He urges all who want tickets to send
in their applications with their remit
tanceS early.

ON GOTH OF JANUARY.
Date Set for the Nemaha County
Primary.

The Republican county central com
mittee of Nemaha county met Friday
and called the primaries to elect dele
gates to county convention, which
will in turn select delegates to state.
congressional and senatorial conven-
lions, for Tuesday, January &c.
There are some Curtis people IN Ne
naha county, notwithstanding the fact
ports from Nemaha county state that
the Curtis people tried to secure some
proxies from three members of the
committee who have left or who are in
tending to leave the county.
One member of the committee is a
postmaster, and it is alleged by the
anti-Curtis people that two others were
promised postoffices if they would act
with the Curtis element, and as a con-
sequence the committee stands seven
for Curtis and fifteen against him.
The Curtis element wanted to divide
the primaries as they did in Brown
county. They wanted one set of pri-
maries and one county convention to
elect delegates to the congressional
convention, and then hold other pri-
maries afterwards to elect state dele
gates. Nemaha county is, of course,
overwhelmingly for Bailey, and the
Curtis people knew it would be useless
to put up a fight if the state delegates
were to be selected by the same con-
vention that names the congressional
delegates.
Governor Bailey attended the meet
ing of the committee itself, and re-
turned to Topeka today. A morning
paper published a story under a SEN
eca date line that Governor Bailey had
asked the committee to name the state
and congressional delegations without
calling primaries. but that the commit
| tee had refused to do so.
That statement is untrue" said Gov
ernor Bailey when asked about it to-
day. Il made no such request at all Il
I had wanted it, however, it could have

Prof. Ralph Wylie, who has been con-
cert neister of the Carl Busch orches-
ira at Kansas City for some time past,
has been secured by the directors of
Washburn college to assume charge of
the violin department of the school Of
fine arts and to become director of the
college orchestral work. He is to be
the successor of Miss LuCelia B. Clarke
who has recently resigned her position
after three years of successful work in
the WaShburn music department.
Washburn could probably not have Sc
cured a more desirable person for the
vacant position. Before coming to
Kansas City to assume his position
with the Philharmonic society, Prof.
Wylie had attained wide recognition
for his ability as a violinist and as an
instructor. He secured his education
Jacobsohn the greatest of American
violinists, and on graduation received
the gold medal for his playing in the
