peraturo of the last week was about nor
mal, though considerably cooler than th
preceding week. Frosts wcro observed on
tho morning of tho 3d, -1th and Dth at vari
ous localities In tho northern and central
districts, and on tho morning of tho 3d tho
minimum tcmpernturo at numerous stations
was below 32 degrees, causing the forma
tion ot ico on shallow'wntcr In many places.
Though too early to note nil tho Injurious
effcct3 of freezing temperature tho general
opinion seems to indicate that apples, plums
and cherries suffered but llttlo damage,
Tho tender vegetation and small fruit on
low ground were somewhat Injured, hut the
aggregate of damago by frost will bo quite
limall. The week 'was very favornblo for
plowing and other farm work, and nearly all
corn ground Is now In readiness for planting.
A fair start hns been made In corn planting,
but tho weather was not sufficiently warm to
Incite much activity In that line. Most of
tho reports nolol that tho soil was becoming
quite dry and that rain was needed for tho
grass and grain crops nnd to facilitate plow-
lug. Tho needed moisture -was generally
supplied by copious showers of Saturday
night and Sunday and tho crop outlook at
present Is quite nattering.

.Sue for Slous City Land.
SIOUX CITY, May 8. (Special.) An In
teresting case Involving a great deal of very
valuable property lying right In the hwrt
of Sioux City, abutting along the Missouri
river front, came up for hearing In tho dis
trict court this morning. S. P. Yeomans.
one of tho pioneers of Sioux City, but now a
resident of Charles City, la., and aevcral
othor old-timers, filed a milt to quiet their
alleged tltlo to this strip of land. It In now
tho terminal ground of the Sioux City &
Pacific Hallway company nnd a portion Is
occupied as depot grounds by tho Chicago,
Milwaukee & SL Paul Hallway company,
tho rcht being clnlmed by the city of Slotlx
City. In the early 'EPh tho Sioux City Land
nnd Forry company, a copartnership com
posed of tho men who platted and laid out
Sioux City, was tho owner of all of this
land along the river front. When Sioux
City wnn platted the map showed that omo
twonty ncros of land along the river front
had been marked "levee." It remained
thus for somo thirty years, when the Into
Senator Georgo W. Jones of Dubuque, ono
of tho original company, filed a suit to re
cover a portion of this land. Tho case wns
decided against him. Uist year Yeomans
filed a very similar milt to recover his share
of the proporty. He nvcrs ho wns not n
party to tho Jones' suit nnd Is not barred
by his laches or by the statute of limita
tions. The raso Is to bo heard on its mer
its, but probably will not end thin sldo of
tho supreme court.
