Dakota Corn Crop Best Yet.

Aberdeen, s. D., July 21.-The Da-
kota Farmer says: South Dakota
crop conditions have not changed ma
terially since our last report. A very
light crop of small grain was then in
dicated and late rains bettered it only
in limited areas. No part of the state
will harvest a normal crop of wheat,
oats or barley, and in some sections
there will be total failure. Every
part of the state reports a few fields
much better than the rest and usually
attributed to better methods of tillage
Flax still gives promise of fair to good
yields in nearly all sections. Corn is
the best ever known and greatly in
advance of any previous year in every
particular. The fields are free of
weeds and reasonable weather from
now on will assure the best and larg-
est crop in the history of the state.

A Eiuht on Mr., Bryan,

There's fight on in the democratic
party of Nebraska. against Mr.. Bryan,
NJ. f. Harrington's selection as tenn
porary chairman of the forthcoming
convention at Fremont, was a part of
this fight.
The Omaha World.Herald has been
attacking Bryan, and r. L. Metcalfe,
editor of the Commoner, is just now
engaged in heated controversy with
the Word-Herald over the lack of har-
mony. Mr.. Metcalfe was formerly ed
itor of the World-Herald
The plans of the anti.Bryan men are
reported to be to organize the conven-
tion without reference to the wishes Of
the democratic leader and without
consulting any Of the Bryan demo.
Gratis.
Harrington made the principal
speech against the Bryan county op-
tion plank last year and his selection
for temporary chairman has been at
least concurred in by the Shallenberg-
er forces.
Shallenberger has openly broken
with Mr.. Bryan. He did not attend
the Bryan banquet at Lincoln this
spring and in other ways has shown
that he is not in accord with his for
mer leader.
Democrats opposed to Mr.. Bryan
will try to induce the convention at
Fremont to adopt resolutions attack
ing Bryan along the same lines as
those adopted recently by the Doug
las county democracy, according to
members of that party.

Route Laid Out for Him.
Wyand's route is laid out for him
piece by piece. AT Omaha he received
letter ordering him to walk to Nor
folk, thence to Cheyenne. At Chey.
enne he will get further instructions
as to his route. At each division point
he gets the signature Of the city may.
or, to show that he has reached that
town. When he reached Norfolk,
Mayor Friday was attending funeral,
so the pedestrian waited and came
over to The News office. The last
signature previous to Norfolk, was
that of James c. Dahlman Of Omaha.
Wyand is obliged to follow the rail-
road and to make a mail report from
every station. This prevents his TAX.
ing automobile or buggy rides.
Too Swift for Companion.
"The president of the athletic club
started out with me, but l set too hard
a pace for him and he turned around

Wyand said.
The route up to date had included
Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Wheeling, w
Va, Columbus, o., Cincinnati, Indian
apolis, La Fayette, Ind, Chicago, Ma
, rion, Ia, Perry, Ia, Council Bluffs
, Omaha and Norfolk.
Among other experiences, Wyand
was chased by an enraged bull and
had a sensational leap over a barb

snake under tree where he wanted
to sleep and three or four times he
was held up by hoboes, though he
never had any money that they could
get.
