BUMPER CROP ON NoRTHwEsTERN
Corn Gives Promise of Turning Ont
Immense Yield.

Corn has every indication of giving n
bumper crop on the eastern divisions OF the
Northwestern in Nebraska, according 20
the crop report received by Frank Walters,
general manager. Superintendent Reynolds
Of the eastern division writes that in spite
OF the heavy rains during the last week
the crop outlook is still very favorable,
with but few reports of damage. This re-
port also includes the Bonesteel line into
South Dakota. There were a few reports
OF damage, but only in limited areas. due
to washing out of the corn or to its being
covered by water in the low lands on ac-
count Of the swollen streams. This, how
ever, is very small proportion of the
whole and the general feeling is that the
crop has every opportunity OF being
heavy one.
The rain over the entire division was
heavy one for a week. but with indications
of clearing the farmers are hopeful of be-
ing able to give the weeds a setback and
give the corn a chance.
The acreage of corn planted is large and
we'll up to the standard Of last year and IN
some places larger. In but one or two sec
tions is there decrease shown in the acre
age. There is no place on the division
where the soil is reported as dry.

Rises Again,

The electrical storm that visited Omaha
Thursday night. while leaving little serious
results in its wake was one OF the most
severe that Omaha has had for many
day. The thunder roared with ominous
and deafening peals and many faint
heart sank in refuge further under The
cover The lightning flashed with such
vivid display that momentarily day came
out of the dark night. For several minutes
these pyrotechnics played their disauietng
role and brought rain in veritable sheets
1t simply came down in floods and played
its part in the din and turbulence of the
tempestuous elements. The precipitation In
Omaha was 1.3 inches.
Nebraska as a whole got another thor
ough soaking Thursday night and from
half an inch TO ~ inches OF rain fell all
over the northern half of the state. The
Lincoln and wymore divisions Of the Bur
lngton were given a good drenching The
Union Pacific reports rain all over its Ne
braska division and the Northwestern re-
ports rain from Omaha to Chadron. Old
timers say they have never seen the time
wien the state has had too much rain for
the growing crops, If the rain would but
permit the planting Of the crops. This was
the condition this spring, for the heavy
rains Qlu not until all ln6 NoIu hdu
been planted. 1t has now reached the stage
where it is a race of the farmer against
the weeds, the rain furnishing the handicap
in favor Of the weeds Farmers are putting
every available man and horse into the
corn fields every day as soon as the ground
dries sufficiently to permit of cultivation.
River Goes Up Again.
The Missouri river resumed business Fri
day morning with three-tenths of foot
rise, which gives it a stage of 17.3 feet, the
highest thus far Of the season. Half a foot
rise is reported from the Blair bridge, with
three-tenths Of a foot rise at Sioux City.
The stage OF the river at these points FRI
day morning was: Sioux City, 14.3, and
Blair bridge. 14.5
The sudden rise is attributed to the heavy
rains Of Thursday night IN eastern Ne
braska and western Iowa, Heavy rains ale
also reported in the lower Missouri valley.
The rise in the river has been general from
Plattsmouth to Sioux City. The rains in
the district named average from one-half
an inch to la inches at Fairbury. No
heavy rains are reported from the DakoLas
and the inference follows that the sudden
rise in the river will be of but short dUra-
tion

FRENCH OFFICER DEGRADED
Ensign IIIImO, Condemned to Devils
Island, Deprived of Rank
Before Crowd.

TOULON, June IA pitiable spectacle,
the degradation OF the traitor, Charles B.
ITllmo. formerly naval officer, occurred
at Roche Square today, in the presence OF
an enormous crowd. Ensign Ullmo was
arrested at Toulon last October charged
with being a spy An examination or his
effects showed him to be in possession OF
many valuable documents. Last February
he was found guilty by court-martial
OF attempting to sell naval secrets to a
foreign power and sentenced to life inn
prisonment in a fortress and to be degraded
in rank.
Train excursions were run into Toulon
and thousands of people from the surround
ing country came in to witness the cere-
mony. The pressure of the crowds was
so great that II threatened to sweep away
the lines OF soldiers and sailors drawn UP
around the square. After the troops had
been reinforced with two-line regiments,
a battery Of artillery and two squadrons
OF cavalry, Ullmo. wearing his uniform and
sword, was led into the rectangle, where
the commandant read the order that Ullmo
had betrayed his country and was not
worthy to wear its uniform. Two subal-
terms then took off his sword and stripped
him of his chevrons and buttons One Of
the subalterns broke the sword across his
knee and threw the broken blade at
ILLINOIS feet. In this plight Ullmo was
compelled to march at the head Of squad
OF soldiers around the rectangle, amid the
boots and jeers ofthe crowd. He walked
with his bare head sunk upon his breast
and his eyes staring straight in front of
him. Tears were streaming down his face
Several thousand recruits who Witnessed
pressed by the ceremony. Ullmo will be
deported to DEVILS Island. off the coast of
French Guiana. where Major Dreyfus was
Sonfined. frav,, 1904 To
