Corn Promises Largo Yield, Except In
the State's Garden Spot.
McCook, Neb., Aug. 26— On crossing
the Missouri River running to Lincoln,
the Burlington land agents' party
found a prospect which, from an agri-
cultural standpoint, could not be ex
celled. Corn is luxuriant and sturd*
and every stalk shows large-sized ears
sticking out from it. It is so far ad-
vanced that the uninitiated could be
made to believe very readily that it 1s
past all harm from any source. Not-
withstanding it.fi fine appearance, how
ever, It is not yet out of danger of frost,
and will not be for at least two weeks.
A fine crop of oats has been reaped in
this section. Much of it is still in the
shock and a good deal of it has been
stacked. It is thrashing out from
thirty to fifty bushels to the acre and
will average about forty. The wheat
crop has all been harvested, and farm-
ers are now busy plowing their land
preparatory to putting in another crop
of winter wheat.
Leaving Lincoln the outlook Is much
less promising. Between Waverly and
Fairmont, a distance of sixty miles, Is
a stretch of country which has usually
been described as the garden spot of
Nebraska. Crops have always been
abundant here, however poorly they
may have been in other parts of tho
state. Last year and this year have
been the only known exceptions to this
rule. Somehow this belt has suffered
severely this year. It has rained copi-
ously on all sides of it and all around
it, but the clouds refused to give it a
drop of moisture until too late to save
the corn crop. For a stretch of coun-
try sixty miles long and sixty miles
wide the corn crop is a comparative
failure. It will only run from a quarter
to half a crop, averaging as a whole
about one-third an ordinary crop.
Oats have not faired so badly. They
are thrashing out from thirty-five to
forty bushels an acre. Heavy rains fell
over this section at the end of last week
They came too late, however, to save
the bulk of the corn. Very much of it
Is wilted beyond redemption and a good
deal of it has already been cut for fod-
der. Wheat in this section Is thrashing
out fifteen bushels to the acre.
West of Fairmont the scene again
changes and an ocean of waving corn,
strong and luxuriant, is to be seen as
far as the eye can reach in every direct
tion. The crop from Hastings to the
western boundary of the state is prac-
tically made, and nothing but a killing
frost can now blight It. It will average
not less than sixty bushels to the acre,
and very many large fields will yield
fifty bushels.
Around McCook is where the disas-
ters of last year were most severely
felt. The gains of this year have more
than made up for the losses then sus-
tained. The whole section of country
looks like a veritable garden, and the
people feel buoyant beyond expression.
Winter wheat is thrashing out about
twenty bushels to the acre and the best
fields are yielding thirty bushels.
Spring wheat is running fnug twelve
•Sixteen bushels to acre. Oats
average frofft y bushels, the
best fluids thrashing out 100 bushels.
Alfalfa is a new crop here with
which the people are delighted. All
kinds of live stock eat it with relish,
and it is proving to be fattening foddor.
The first year it yields one toe to the
acre, but after the third year It yields
three crops a year, which foot up seven
and one-half tons to the acre. It is
worth in the market $5 per ton, but to
feed cattle the results have shown it to
be worth $70 per acre. It is the coming
Crop all along the the flats of the Re-
publican valley.

Friday morning four members of t u
Christian gang rode up to J. N. Town-
sley's farm, 30 miles west of Atoka,
and terrorized the whole family and
employes. Mr. Townsley, with two of
his cowboys, were at the barn when
the four bandits suddenly and unex-
pectedly made their presence known
by telling the old man and his employ-
es to tlirow up their hands, at the same
time covering them with Winchesters.
The orders were obeyed and the ban-
dits proceeded to rob the victims. #18
was found on Townsley. The robbers
then placed two guards over the three
men while the other two went through
the house. They broke open Town*
sley's trunk and took therefrom a gold
watch worth §75, a six-shooter worth
$20, and about $500 in money orders.
Returning to the barn, they marched
the three victims about 100 yards from
the barn and told them to remain un-
til they (the bandits) were half a mile
distant. When the robbers halted they
found the orders were not signed by
the payee, and returned to get Town-
slcys signature, but he and his men
had left the premises and given the
alarm to the neighbors. Seeing horse-
men approaching they threw down the
money orders and took to the thick
bottoms. They escaped.

big bulky pills were in
general use. Like th?
"blunderbuss" ol
that decade they
were big and clum-

tive. In this cent-
ury of enlighten-

Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pel-
lets, which
cure all liver,
stomach and
bowel de-
rangements i n
the most effec-
tive way.
If people
would pay more
attention to prop-
erly regulating the action of their bowels,
by the use of these little "Pellets" they
would have less frequent occasion to call
| for their doctor's services to subdue attacks
of dangerous diseases. The " Pellets " cure
sick and bilious headache, constipation, in-
digestion, bilious attacks and kindred de-
rangements of liver, stomach and bowels.
