Nebraska Corn in Danger.

Omaha, Neb., July 27. —For more than two weeks no rain has fallen and there has been an excess of sunshine. Wednesday a hot wind from Kansas swept over the state like a blast from a furnace and corn blades are curled close. The stand that promised so well a month ago now promises a total failure unless rain comes before the end of the week. Many fields are already beyond salvation. The drought is unprecedented in its severity in this vicinity.
