with funds to tide the bink over any panic
which might be caused by filse rumors or
doubts as to how the shortage might affect
the financial standing of the Institution The i

It was more than It Is

claim to know to amount to $21.000 Of this
amount J10.000 Is fraternal Insurance , car
ried by four lodges to which he belonged
The remainder Is old line Insurance and It Is
claimed some of the policies at least are In
the hands of the bond company as a protec
tion to Its Interests. The officials claim
they do not know what became of the mis
sing funds , but It IB generally thought that
speculation in grain or other options caused
his downfall
The funeral services were held over tlie

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN ,
April IS In this , the flrst Issue of the
Weekly Cllmato and Crop Bulletin for 1S99.
a brief summary of weather and crop con
ditions for the last fall and winter is given
to present a more complete view of the crop
conditions at the opening of the season
Subsequent numbers will contain a chart of
precipitation for the week ending Monday
mornings and a summary of conditions In
each county , as was done last year.
September Heavy rains the second week
in September placed the ground In excellent
condition for seeding and much winter wheat
was sown during the next two weeks. The
wheat sprouted quickly and grew rapidly
during the last days of September.
October October was a cold month , with
a snow storm on the 17th and ISth. Tha
dally minimum temperatures were near the
freezing point during the last twelve days
of the month and wheat did not make the
usual progress.
November and December November and
December were both cold months. The
ground froze about the 10th of November and |
remained frozen. Wheat made little growth
during November and started the winter less
firmly rooted than usual , especially the late
sown , for the continued low temperature
presented almost unbroken unfavorable con
ditions for growth after October 1.
Januirv January was a warm month with
less than the normal amount of snow , leav
ing wheat uncovered , and on the whole was
rather unfavorable for wheat.
February and March February and March
was exceptionally cold ; the ground remained
frozen nearly all the time until the 1st of
April.
The flrst week In April was cold and un
favorable for farm work and little was ac
complished before the 10th of the month
The last week has been clear , warm and
dry. The dally mean temperature for the
week averaged 7 degrees above the normal
In the eastern and 9 degrees In the western
counties The minimum temperatures were
above freezing and the maximum tempera
tures ranged from S3 to 90 degrees.
In the greater portion of the state no rain
fell during the week. The rainfall In the
preceding week was light in all districts
As the precipitation for January , February
and March was below normal , the ground
vvis dry enough to plow and seed as soon as
the frost was out of it.
Very rapid progress has been made with
farm work during the last week. Spring
wheat sowing has been pushed and is now
nearly completed In the southwestern coun
ties and about one-half done In the central
and northern counties Oat seeding has
commenced In the southern counties and Is
well advanced in the extreme southern portion
tion of the state A little plowing for corn
has been done in the southern counties.
Winter wheat is starting slowly and has
been damaged considerably by the cold
weather early In the fall and the severe
winter and spring The estimates of the
condition vary widely , ranging from about
all to only about 20 per cent killed. How
ever , most reporters estimate the damage to
be between uO and 75 per cent. A good warm
rain soon would probably materially Improve
this condition. Some wheat has been plowed
up and in some Instances the ground sown
to spring wheat.
