Crops Fairly Good.

West Point, Neb., July 29.-Special
to The News: Corn throughout this
section is doing WELL With no un-
toward circumstances occurring the
yield will be at least normal. Late
planted corn will produce much better
than the early variety, the drouth and
hot winds having occurred at a stage
of its development which precluded
serious injury. What injury has been
done to the corn crop is much more
apparent in early planted fields. Po-
tatoes are practically a failure. In
the very small area of low lying lands
where the seed was planted very deep
the crop is a bare one.half the av-
erage, but throughout the county the
yield VII! not be sufficient to supply
the home tables.
Wheat and oats are threshing out
fairly we'll, much better than was ex,

teen to twenty bushels and oats from
thirty to forty, all of most excellent

was saved from ruin in 1907 through
the purchase of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the United
States Steel corporation, owed money
to j. Pierpont Morgan e Co., which
was secured by Tennessee Coal and
Iron stock as collateral, was revealed
to the steel trust investigating COM
mittee by Lewis Cass Ledyard.
Representative Littleton asked Mr..
Ledyard about the nature of Moore &
Schley's loans. He said:
THE firm of ]. Pierpont Morgan &
Co. had loaned the firm a considerable
sum-"
WAS it secured by Tennessee Coal
and Iron stock?" asked Mr.. Littleton.
yes, it was, but the Morgan firm
had never bothered Moore & Schley
and did not call the loan"
There never was a more Infamous
outrage than the suggestion that has
been made that either Mr. Morgan or
the United States Steel corporation
brought about, engineered, or inspired
an attack on the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company. Such a thing is abso-

CANADIAN BOAT ON ROCKS.
American Revenue Cutter is First to
Reach Disabled Flagship.

Halifax, July 81. The Canadian
navy was nearly deprived of half its
strength yesterday when the flagship
Niobe crashed on the lodges south
west of Cape Sable. Four hours later
she was fioated, leaking badly, and
proceeded under her own power to
Shag Harbor, ten miles away, where
she is at anchor with six fathoms of
water and a soft bottom under her.
The first to reach the side of the
disabled cruiser was the United States
revenue cutter Androscoggin, which
was cruising in the vicinity. The
Niobe's wireless call for help was
picked up by the Androscoggin, which
promptly flashed back that she would
stand by to help and would all in her
power. Through a dense fog and
heavy sea which is believed to have
been the cause of the Niobe's acct
dent, the Androscoggin rushed and
was standing by the Canadian cruiser
when the Canadian governments Lady
Laurier and Stanley, which had been
sent to the scene, arrived from st.
joins, NJ d. VIII tue luS hCtNauSh
ton of Yarmouth. The Niobe, how
ever, found that she was able to take
care of herself. Although water was
pouring into several compartments
her pumps kept her fairly clear and

Determined that he shall not suffer
financially for any injury to his thumb
nail causing him enforced idleness.
Charles Heinsey, grainer employed
by a Newton On j. painter, took out
an accident insurance policy for $50 on
his thumb nail. Heinsey says he

would be enough.
Heinsey'S fifty dollar nail is on his

inches long. He uses the nail almost
entirely in his business and says 1t is
much better than an artificial grainer.

70 Days

"HE Canadian reciprocity agree
ment was passed In the SEN
ate after Twenty-Five days Of
debate. Some Of these ses-
sions were wasted with other matters,
but during that period the agreement
remained the unfinished business and
had preference over all other matters.
More than sixty amendments were
offered to the reciprocity agreement.
All were rejected by votes approx
mating FIVE to one. The one caus-
ing the most apprehension was pro-
posed by Senator Root of New York.
1t provided that paper and pulp should
not be admitted from Canada until
the Dominion permitted shipments of
American materials and paper into all
its provinces.
Almost every conceivable kind of
tariff revision amendment was sug-
gested and rejected.
The passage of the agreement was
effected by combination of Demo-
Gratis and regular Republicans. The
progressives, with two exceptions,
voted against it. Three Democrats,
Bailey, Simmons and Thornton, stead
tasty opposed it.
An understanding existed in advance
between the president and leaders of
the regular Republicans and Demo-
Gratis that the reciprocity agreement
should be passed without change.
This proved continual source Of irri-
tation to its opponents.
Effect of the Agreement.

Is expected to materially reduce the
cost OF living, although this may not be
appreciate ut the outset. Its purpose
Is to bring the necessaries of life in
greater quantities. The belief Is that
1t will prevent higher prices and check
the continual advance in foodstuffs.
The agreement affects 81 per cent of
the goods imported from Canada into
the United States.
The free list contains wheat and 9th
er grains, fresh fruits and vegetables,
ali kinds of fish. poultry and eggs, cat
tie, sheep and other live stock
A mutual reduction of rates Is pro-
vided for fresh and canned meats, ba-
con and hams. canned vegetables, -four
and cereal preparations.
Concessions are made on agricultural
implements and coal and iron ore.
Print paper and wood pulp are made
free so far as the provincial restric
tons of Canada will permit.
Cottonsced oil Is made free by Can,
ada and rough lumber by the United
States.
