( Special. ) Nearly four .and oncrhalf Inches of Tain has fallen hero within the last week , and the greater portion of It soaked Into the ground , where It will be available for future use. This fact as to what became of the moisture Is fully proven by the action of the streams ) which , though showing considerable rise , did not get much higher than the point reached earlier in the season with a mere fraction of the moisture when it fell on a frozen , impenetrable surface. The soil was already In good condition , but the frost had just left the ground and It was In Just the consistency to absorb the water and If any had lingering doubts as to the promise of heavy crops this season , they are now dis pelled. The rain has also beaten down the mud on the roads and left them In better trim for traveling than they have been for months past. I.nnt Anpt-al for Inilln. LINCOLN , April 5.

A telegram to Ube governor says : "Tim United States can save thousands of Hvea by noting promptly.

REPUBLICAN REGENTS ARE ELECTED I'ltiKroc-'n Candidate for Mayor of De troit In Drfrnteil l > cninornt * Make ( . ( linn In it Number of Municipal Context * . DETROIT , Mich. , April C. Estimates , based on returns thus far received from the state , give Long upwards ot 20,000 plurality for supreme court justice. The republican candidates for regents ot the university were elected by probably somewhat lessor pluralities , as Judge Long ran ahead ot his ticket generally. McKlnley's majority In Michigan was about G8.000. I'lugreo for governor was 20,000 greater. Charles U. Lawton and William J. Cocker , republican candidates for regents of the University of Michigan , are also elected. The vote was light and the free silver sentiment was shown In several ot the cities more strongly than In the No vember election. This appears , to have boon especially true In the southern tier ot boun ties. In a few cases , on the votes for city officers , the republican majorities ot last fall were turned Into fusion victories , As usual the result as to local olllccrs Is con siderably split up politically. William C. . Maybury , democrat , was elected mayor of this city today by about 1,000 majority over Captain Albert E. Stew art , republican. In view of Mr. Maybury's victory It Is considered surprising that Judge John Miner , , democratic candidate for police Justice , was defeated by Judge Al bert F. Sellers , republican , who was re- .olected by a majority fully equal to that received by Maybury. Maybury's election la looked upon as a decided defeat for Gov ernor I'lngree , who practically named Cap tain Stewart as bis successor as mayor after the courts had overruled tbo gov ernor's contention that ho could hold the offices of governor and mayor. With returns from two precincts , which will not be canvassed until tomorrow , still to como , Maybury a , GOO majority ; Sellers about 1,100. A mistake In the delivery ot these two returns accounts for their delay and they will bo hold by the police until tomorrow. City republicans are preparing to contest today's election. They charge that a Tot-Ing machine used In one precinct disfranchised a lot of votes , and that some Polish votes were bought by democrats. PETOSKEY. Mich. . April D. The repub licans elect M. F.

MITCH MOKE TROUHM2 FOll IJACHMAN I1U AVlfe Aslvn for n Divorce Alimony. Mrs. Georglana Baclnuan has applied to the cotirte for a divorce from Charles M. Bach- man. She also asks for alimony and prays that she be given the custody pf her.two. , children , a boy aged 1 year and a girl aged G years. Bachman was convicted In the district court of being the father ot the child ot Sadls Keller and was. given what was virtu ally a life sentence In the county Jail by Judge Scott. He 'was sentenced for one year In jail on the charge of bastardy and ordered to pay $20 per month toward the support ot tha child. To Insure the payment ot the alimony he was ordered to give a bond In the sum of $2,000 and to remain In jail until this bond was furnished. Whenever the bond should bo given Bachman was sentenced to begin serving one year In jail for adultery and to pay a flna of $200 and costs. Upon completing this sentence Bacbrnan waa con demned to servo ten days for contempt of court in calling Miss Keller vile names while she was on the witness stand. As Bachman waa entirely without means and almost entirely without friends , ho was un able to comply with the terms of his sentence and furnish a bond as security for the sup port of the child , and he was therefore com- pslled to remain In jail. About a year ago a showing was made to Judge Baker that the child had been placed In a responsible family and was In no danger of becoming a charge upon Douglas county and Bachman was thereupon released. The uult of hla wife for divorce Is based entirely upon Bachman's conviction oa the charge of adultery and bastardy. IK.1113 I < 'OH CAM.AClllOll. CIIII.DKK.V.
