GOOD NEWS FROM THE FARMS
Wheat Exceeds Expectations and

Wheat Exceeds Expectations and
Corn IL Making Good Progress.
As the season advances interest in Ne
braska's corn and wheat crops increases
At every hotel in Omaha where men from
out in the state meet those In the city: at
the Grain exchange, Board of Trade, rail-
road offices and in fact various other places
of business men are talking crops" AND
there is very cheerful tone to these con.
versations, since news persists in coming
that the wheat output is far better than
anticipated and conditions for a good corn
crop superior to those a few weeks previ-
Gus. The fact is, as CLEANED from various
sources, wheat is turning out fine and corn
is making wonderful progress. Speaking of
conditions in his country, Joseph Clarke Of
Burt county said:
I'VE will have good wheat crop this
season, better than for several years. We
have not been bothered with the Hessian
fly at all. Our wheat is largely spring The
wet weather has put it back some, but 1t
will not be materially damaged from that
cause. The corn looks very promising con-
sidering the late spring and wet weather.
1t is exceptionally clean and has been we'll
cultivated and kept free from weeds The
oats are in fine shape and we will harvest
larger crop than usual. The hay crop is
the best have ever known In Burt county
and on the whole the farmers are very we'll
satisfied with the outlook regarding all
crops"

decrease in their wages, the min would

Monday to decide Although there was
dissatisfaction among some Of the en-
ployees they were told to consider the
matter carefully and after elaboration
they accepted the decrease. The cause
for this decrease is attributed to the
scarcity and consequent high price Of
raw cotton. The company employs on
an average 500 hands who work on
basis Of 60 hours week. Their wages
run from $t.25 to $500 day. This de-

o'clock yesterday morning forty-eight
dead bodies had been taken from the
mine at Virginia City, where the ter
rife explosion occurred on Monday af-
ternoon, entombing 116 miners. The
discovery was made by rescuers during
the night that the explosion had broken
a water pipe and that many Of the
rooms in the mine had been flooded
thus making the work Of rescue slow.
Several bodies have been seen floating
around in the rooms, which leads to
the conclusion that some Of the unfor-
tunate men must have drowned in.
stead Of being suffocated to death. For
ty-four bodies have been taken to Bes-
