The second ward is again troubled
with a fiend, in the shape of a wife

damnable.

Reports Received From Fifty-eight
Countl s.
Observations lis made at Hoswell
observatory, lVmne college, Crete,
for the week ending Friday, Apt il -H.:
The week has been cold and
cloudy, but more favorable for
farm work than the preceding.
Temperature decidedly below
normal and sunshine very little;
rainfall less than half an inch, ex
cepting along the northern border
of the state, where it exceeded the
normal and in places reached
nearly two inches.
The rainfall being generally less
than normal, the ground has dried
out, allowing farm work to make
some progress. Seeding is about
completed, excepting in a few local
ities, and plowing for corn has just
commenced. A very little planting
is reported from southern counties.
Antelope All email grain ten
days or more late; very little plow
ing for corn.
Boone Small grain doing nicely,
but preparation of corn ground de
layed by wet weather; work pro
gressing well the latter part of the
week.
Box Butte Last week's snow and
rains since have delayed wheat
sowing; not all in yet.
Buffalo Weather favorable for
farm work, but too cold to puHh
crops.
Cass A few warm , days have
brought wheat rapidly forward.
Sowing oats about finished. Apple
hlnnm rominir forward. FroBt on
29th but no damage.
Cherry Country flooded with
water; no plowing done the past
seven days; oats not all in; farm
work a month late.
Clay Farm work two or three
weeks late; farmers very busy. Wild
grass backward.
Colfax Wheat and oats looking
well; plowing for corn juHt com-
I meuced.
Cuming Wenther more favorable
for farming; p'owing for corn begun.
Custer Ground still too wet in
placea to plow for corn.
Dakota Small grain about sown;

Tarlor Is Coming.
On Saturday, May 14, we are again
to have the ever-welcome J. F. Tay
lors Great American circus,
museum and menagerie, who will
spread their city of canvass in
Plattsmouth for one day only.
They need no introduction to our
citizens or friends in the vicinity,
as their former visit gave the best
of satisfaction. This year the show
has been greatly enlarged nnd now
they claim the best one-ring circus
in America. They carry fifty star
performers, including John Hatch
lor, champion leapcr of the world.
In the menagerie will be seen the
baby elephant, only ten months
old. The parade will take place nt
noontime, a sight worth coming
miles to see. The prices are cheap
and nlmost anyone can afford to at
tend. So let's all turn out and give
Taylor a rousing crowd.
Dundy Wheat sowing about fin
ished; oat sowing well advanced;
no serious damage from the cold
storm.
