TEE KORTH PLATTE gEMI-WIEKLT TRBDIE: FRIDAY EVENING, MIT 81, 1595. MIS IOEBRiSH. Many Counties of the State Favored "With Abundant Showers. com is is good common Eeporta From Along the Borlinjtcn Road -jr Tery Encouraging Broken Bow Saak Closes Down A. TTomlaent Eanlccr Dies Fire, at Creston, Omaha, ilay 80. Abundant rains have fallen in many Nebraska counties. It commenced ponring down at Kear ney, in the extreme -western part of the state, and spread rapidly south. Holt, Adams, Polk, Buffalo, Dawes and Lin coln counties have experienced enor mous down pours. Little rain has fallen in the extreme eastern part of the state, but prospects are excellent for showers in that part of Nebraska. How ever, that section is in no need of im mediate rains. A carefully prepared statement from all points along the en tire system of the Burlington in Ne braska, shows a good state of affairs. Small grain is not doing well. This is not attributed to the hot winds of the past few days, but to the fact that little moisture was in the ground from which to draw early in the spring season. Realizing this the acreage of small grain was much reduced, while com, which would depend more upon the rains of the present season, was more largely planted. Corn along the Burlington lines is 80 per cent of the whole cereal crop. The hot winds have in no wise hurt com. This system covers the state, and this estimate will apply to all parts of Nebraska. The crop could not be in better condition. Even the small grain will make more than half a crop and in some sections fnlL All reports agree that the hot winds have done little damage that the present rains wiH not efface.

Two im portant decisions were made by the Wyoming nupreme court. By one the application of Charles Boulter for a writ of habeas corpus was denied. Boulter was convicted of manslaughter in the lower court and sentenced to five years imprison ment. He claimed that his conviction was unlawful because founded on information. The huurbiite court upholds the information system and affirm t the legality of the statute, which allows the prosecution of de fendants by information or indictment at the option of the county officials. The second case was that of John Mur phy, arrested for bigamy. He claimed there was no law in Wyoming against this crime. While Wyoming was a ter ritory the legislature enacted a law cov ering the crime at the same time the Ed munds law against polygamy and big amy was in force. Murphy claimed that the territorial legislature had no au thority to pass such a law, it being a matter within the jurisdiction of con gress. That the act being void at the time of its enactment it could not be re vived by the adoption of the state con stitution and that since statehood was obtained Wyoming had been without any law against bigamy. The court ruled that the territorial legislature had the right to pass a law concurrent with the United States law and that it was continued in force by the adoption of the state constitution. Conditions That Confront XcKinley. Zjlsesvieee, O., May 30. The Be puhlican state convention was as tame Wednesday as it was lively the day before- After being in session tdH mid night and nominating the head of the ticket, there was little life left in the delegates and only minor places to fight over. Owing to the way in which the factional lines had been drawn by the McKinley and the Poraker men in nominatfngBnshneHfor governor, it was evident the slate headed by BushnelL would go through and candidates not on that slate would go down Kke Nash, E3efer, Hoyt, Poe, Harris, Barger and Nevin had previously gone down before the n'"?ifl,i"fr;ra.irfnTi combination. The administration did not surrender without a fight, however, and held the convention in continuous session from 9 a. m. to 215 p. m. With a single ex ception, in which little interest was taken, the BushnelL slate went through complete far the eight places on the state ticket, secured a majority of the members and all the officers of the state committee and really made a clean sweep of the old regime. Yet the most material thing for the future are the conditions that confront Governor McKinley. "FTr presidential boom in Ohio is in the same embarrass ment as was Sherman's candidacy under the Poster administration with Gar field's senatorial annex in 3SS0. In 1884 Sherman had the Blaine element as well as Poraker and Poster to contend with. InlSSS Sherman had the same old experi ence and in 1SQG there will be a McKin ley delegation from Ohio to the Repub lican national convention, but it wnl be selected by Poraker nnd Bushnell, no matter what may be the result of the state election next November. The Poraker-BushnelL comMiiation fcns con trol of all the party machinery and the present party organisation continues till after the selection of the delegates to the next national BepuhTfaan conven tion. Poraker and Bushnell w3i be two af the delegates-at-Iarge themselves and they are not at all likely to grant Mc Kinley permission to nam s the other, two, although it is believed, they wQI consent to Sherman and Poster going 23 the other delegates-at-Iarge. Governor McKinley Is .Satisfied. New York, May 30. Wilham Mc Kinley of Ohio has arrived in the city. In answer to a question of what he thought of the result of the Ohio 3e pubTfcan convention and nominatMm of Mr. Bushnell for governor, Governor McKinley said that the result of the convention was entirely satisfactory to him. Although he had considered George Nash of Columbus was the strongest Bpubhcan in the state, he was satisfied that the ticket nominated was a good strong one and would surely be elected. Governor McKinley dis played a good deal of feeling in speak ing of the talk which T? been afioat that he was at dagger's points witn ex-Governor Poraker. 41fc is absurd to talk of a fight between my self and Mr. Poraker." he declared. Xhxrrant Plead Sot Quflty. SaS-Pbaceco, May 30. Theodore Lvurrant was arraigned in the superior court for the murder of Blanche La ment and Mhmie WiHiams, pleading not guilty in each case.

"Spooning' parties are papular in some quarters. They take their name from a good, old English word which was intended to ridicule the alleged f an ta stic actions of a young-man or a young wonrrm who is in love. Porsomereasan, which no one ever could explain, every bodv pokes fun at the lover. In fact, that unhappy character is never heroic in real life, no matter what great gobs of heroism are piled about him on the stage, and in aH the romantic story books. The girl in love and the boy in love are said to be "spoony." vvben a "spooning" parry is given, the committee in charge of the event re ceives a spoon from each person who at tends, or else presents each guess with a spoon. These spoons are fancifully dressed in male and female attire, and are mated either by the srmflsrtty of costume or by a distmguisbiag ribbon. The girls and boys whose spoons are mates are expected to take care of each other d;:::?i the canctauance of the sa dal gathering. Of course the distribution of the spoons is made with the greatest possible care fulness, the aim being to so place tbpm as to properly fit the case of the young people to whom they are presented. The parties are usually given by the pnug people of same neighborhood where the personal preference of each spoony is well known, and thev are the source of no tnn of fun. It is possible also that they serve as aids to matrimony as well, and are therefore commendable, since an avowal is made more easy to a diffi dent swain after he feels tha his pas sion is not a secret, but that his weak ness for a "spoony" maiden is known to his friends and womw; on the commit tee which dispenses the spoon,?. Is may be mentioned that after the spoors have been distributed among the guests, each couple retires for consultakHiregarding the reasons which caused the award of mated spoons in their case. Thw consul tstion is known by the name of "spoon ing." St Louis Bepubiic. Crednlitj' of Snssian Pea wan try. A.
