Tne Nebraska weather service crop
report for the week ending June 14th is
as follows: The week has been warm
and sunshiny with only scattered show
ers and has been the most favorable
week of the season for the growth of all
vegetation and for farming operations
generally. The temperature has been
above the normal in all parts of the state,
generally from one and a half to three
degrees above but in the southeastern
part of the state about seven degrees.
The sunshine has also been decidedlv
above the average. The rainfall gener
ally has been very light and in many
parts of the state there was none or only
a trace. The dry, warm weather has
hastened the growth of all crops and
especially corn has made rapid progress;
small grain has been slightly injured in
a few cases by the warm, dry winds and
lack of showers; the ground has become
somewhat crusted and showers in all
parts of the state would be very benefi
cial to soften tho surface of the ground.

The not unexpected death of Sidney
Dillon occurred at his home in New
York City Thursday. Mr. Dillon had
been sick about three months, and his
caso was pronounced hopeless several
days ago. The deceased was a conspic
uous example of the possibilities of
American business. He was a multi
millionaire, one of tho very richest men
in the United States. Mr. Dillon, no
doubt, made a great deal of money in
speculation, but his fortune rested on
strictly legitimato ground. He began
life for himself as a little boy, carrying
water for railroad hands. He was only
seven years of age when he started out
in that way. He saved his money little
by little, and branched out in business
as he had the capital. From the acci
dent of being a watsr-carrier at one
dollar a week for a eantr of railroad
laborers he drifted into railway contracts.
His good judgment and business quali
fications enabled him to achieve great
success. In the construction of the
Union Pacific he was at-ihe front. He
is best known from his conneV?tjojn with
that great national enterprise. JBut
when the Credit Mobilier scandal
he was "not in it" We recall no stai
upon the good name of Sidnev Dillon
He was an uncle of Isaac Dillon and
Mrs. W. W. Birge of this city and owned
the Barton property in the east end.
Rev. Kublman has n vory lareo and

language should avail themselves of this
opportunity.

nate enough to hear him.
Rev. J. MV Younsr. who has iust
graduated frota the Theological Semi
nary, preached at the Baptist church
last Sabbath.. Mr. Young is looking over,
tnis neia with a view to settlement.
Those Who heard him speak highly of

sister church, will bo able to secure the
services, of Rev.T Young or somo good
man soon.
J. M. Tipton, Sunday school mission
ary of the Presbyterian board, preached
at Sutherland last Sabbath, and in tho
afternoon organized a verv lame and
interesting Sunday school at Birdwood.
Mr Tipton called on us on Monday
morning and gavo us the names of
goodly number of people at Sutherland
who desired the organization of a Pres
byterian church at that place.
The Christian' Endeavor of the Pres
byterian church decided last Sabbath
eveuing.that they would pay $25 of the
expenses of having a delegate at the

New York City, July 7th to 11th. They
elected Miss Foreythe as a delegate from
the society. We understand Miss For-
syine win accept tne society s proposi

The Presbyterian church was civen
thorough cleaning last week. The Junior

Rev. Bewu has accepted a call from
the Baptist church at York, Neb., and

Because it has no equal for baking,
