hour on the right side of the road. Taylor
died less than four hours after having

FARMER WOULD WELCOME RAIN

Need rain" is the brief comment Of
every farmer of Nebraska now, when
asked as TO rcop conditions. mo damage

except for possibly little burning out
of wheat, but rain is needed badly"
Corn has advanced rapidly during the
last week, II being true blue corn weather
But tn excessive heat of tn esun and the
not too wet soil has brought the ground
to a condition when rain in the next two
days will be very beneficial.
On the other hand, II the ground had
been full of moisture before the hot spell

taken under consideration by the commits
sion and will be acted upon In the future
by that body, State Senator Placek of
Wahoo, who is engaged in the manufac-
ture Of steel culverts, was present and
made strenuous objection to the difference
between steel and cement culverts. The
former at the present time take fourth rate
with minimum OF ten tons per carload
while cement takes four classes lower with
$500 pounds minimum. In Iowa Senator
Placek asserted, steel takes one class
lower than in Nebraska
The proposal to increase babbit metal
from fourth to third class, less than car
loads, was discussed by ]. Nj. Guild of
the Omaha Commercial club He said he
had no objection to the change. but he
suggested that solder should be reduced
from second to third class, less than car
load He said there was a small basket
factory in Omaha and he would Investigate
to ascertain whether or not the proposed
increase in rating Of less than car loads
from double first class to four times
first class would lnjure the factory's bus
mess.
An employe of the commission submitted
to it memorandum showing the differences
between the classification No. "A and No

sheet the commissions agent said:
This sheet showed 376 differences, 125

were cropped by accepting No. 80. num-
per OF the 10 slips are shown in the call
Tor the meeting. A typewriter sheet for
ready reference has been prepared showing
the slips mentioned.
No. 10 has 1915 carload rates; sos of
these carry a higher minimum than pro-
posed for the new classification and lilo

There have been 1923 new carload items
added since No. "A was published Some
OF these give car rating For articles that

GREEN SUCCEEDS VI. |. SMITH
Defeats Democrat in Ninth

CALLED BLOW TO RECIPROCITY

Canadlan Agreement.

Judge W. r. Green. republican. Of Audi
bon county was Monday elected to sue
coed Judge Walter l. Smith as congress
man from the Ninth Iowa district by a
plurality OF LIZA according to nearly com
plete returns. Judge Green defeated w. +.
Cleveland. democrat. OK Harlan, Shelby
county
The result of the election is hailed a
blow to the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment by the opponents of that measure,
Senator Cleveland came out definitely for
the treaty, while Judge Green. although
supported by the progressive republicans,
denounced il.
Members Of the National Grange were in
fluential in determining the result in many
counties. In Center township. Pottawat-
iamie county, which has always been
strongly democratic. the grange element
was SO strong that it went over to the re-
publican column.
Judge Green all through the campaign
was in personal touch with the vote s.
having sent out over 1900 personal letters
to voters all over the district Senator
Cleveland only carried two counties by
anything like substantial majorities. His
own county of Shelby gave him majority
Of 442 and Pottawattamie gave him 49,.
Harrison and Mills were the only other
two coutnes which went for Cleve and, by
majorities of 40 and 80 respectively.
Judge Green had easy sailing in his own
county of Audubon, which he carried by
a majority Of 52s. Cass was the banner
county for the judge, rolling up a major
ity of 5SS. Montg emery gave the judge $50
and Guthrie 361. His smallest vote was in
Adair, which he carried by a majority of
100. The vote was especially light in that
county.
Nudge, the socialist candidate, polled the
regular vote of approximately 80. The
final returns had not all been received at
midnight, there being a few precincts
missing, but as the vote is always light
from them. the result will not be affected.
Two years ago Judge Walter /. Smith
received a total vote of 23,2l5 as against
1881 for George Spencer. the democratic
candidate.
Last year Judge Smith was elected over
Senator Cleveland by a plurality of I,S47,
the vote being 1878 and Cleveland 1876,
Smith subsequently resigning to accept
appointment to the federal bench.
