The FIorenceyiIIe Mill.

High water, Tuesday morning,
damaged the top of the center section
OF the rev dam, also taking out about
eight CUBIC yards OF the I ici, < on the
east wall that was put in on Monday
last. At this writing, it is impossible
to correctly estimate the damage.
Had the center. pocket been filed
with the sconcrete. we believe that
we would have had no loss at all.
This was an unexpected and unusual
raise in the river, as the water had
gradually receded since Sunday night.
Theswork will be pushed with all pos
sible speed, just as soon as the river
goes down to an ordinary stage again.
We are slightly disfigured but still In
the ring. will not throw up the

but the pressure was more
than the middle section could stand,
unprotected as it was and not having
been properly set before the food

Weather.Cr Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. II, 1906.
High temperatures prevailed the first
three and the last two days OF the
week, and the average was above the
normal for the middle of September.
At the central station the average
daily excess of temperature was nearly
8 degrees. Light showers were re.
ported in all DISTRICTS on the 18th and
18th, and very eopious showers were
quite general throughout the state on
the 18th and 10Th. The rains were
timely and beneficial to pastures es-
pecially in the southern half OF the
state. Reports indicate that corn out
ting is in progress In all districts. and
that more than the usual percentage
of the valuable fodder will be saved
In shock or silo. As to the stage Of
ripeness, the conditions are quite vari-
able, but it is evident that over 80 per
cent Of the crop is beyond danger Of
material injury by frost, and the full
crop is likely to be practically safe be-
fore the close Of September. Damage
by windstorms has been less than
usual. The soil is generally 10 exesl:
lent condition for plowing. some prog.
ress Is reported in seeding fall wheat
and rye, and the acreage Of wheat ii
likely to be increased In the western
districts, whore the yield has been ex-
oellent this year. AS q whole, this has

Mr.. Bryan reached Lincoln about s
O'clock. just as the 5000 persons at the
state fair grounds were coming into town.
These lined up on either side OF the street
through which the parade passed almost
to the car tracks from the station to the
residence OF Charles W. Bryan. where the
great commoner and his family ate dinner
Barely enough space was left on o street
for the parade to pass through.
Except right at the station. however. the
crowd was not noisy collection OF people
They seemed content to raise their hats
and look at the man they honored cheering
only spasmodically.
The Joy OF the Nebraskans at once more
having their distinguished citizen with
them was no more intense than was the
pleasure Mr.. Bryan experienced at being
with his people on his own grounds. in his
own home. Mr.. Bryan expressed his pleas
ure in his every look and in his every
utterance. He became "idgety'' before his
train reached Lincoln and nervously hustled
his baggage together,
I'm set your baggage together. Mr.
Bryan" said some one IN the car; you go
ahead and sit down and rest"
Il don't think I WILL" answered the
home-comer. i just paid myself a quarter

And he earned the quarter unaidsd and
