Eanlccr Dies Fire, at Creston,
Omaha, ilay 80. Abundant rains
have fallen in many Nebraska counties.
It commenced ponring down at Kear
ney, in the extreme -western part of the
state, and spread rapidly south. Holt,
Adams, Polk, Buffalo, Dawes and Lin
coln counties have experienced enor
mous down pours. Little rain has
fallen in the extreme eastern part of the
state, but prospects are excellent for
showers in that part of Nebraska. How
ever, that section is in no need of im
mediate rains. A carefully prepared
statement from all points along the en
tire system of the Burlington in Ne
braska, shows a good state of affairs.
Small grain is not doing well. This is
not attributed to the hot winds of the
past few days, but to the fact that little
moisture was in the ground from which
to draw early in the spring season.
Realizing this the acreage of small grain
was much reduced, while com, which
would depend more upon the rains of
the present season, was more largely
planted. Corn along the Burlington
lines is 80 per cent of the whole cereal
crop. The hot winds have in no wise
hurt com. This system covers the
state, and this estimate will apply to all
parts of Nebraska. The crop could not
be in better condition. Even the small
grain will make more than half a crop
and in some sections fnlL All reports
agree that the hot winds have done
little damage that the present rains wiH
not efface.
BROKEN BOW BANK CLOSES DOWN.

Outstanding Obligations.
Beokex Bow, Neb., May 30. The

Za Snlsd to Be a Wros? One.
CHKYES5X, Wy., May SO. Two im
portant decisions were made by the
Wyoming nupreme court. By one the
application of Charles Boulter for a
writ of habeas corpus was denied.
Boulter was convicted of manslaughter
in the lower court and sentenced to five
years imprison ment. He claimed that
his conviction was unlawful because
founded on information. The huurbiite
court upholds the information system
and affirm t the legality of the statute,
which allows the prosecution of de
fendants by information or indictment
at the option of the county officials.
The second case was that of John Mur
phy, arrested for bigamy. He claimed
there was no law in Wyoming against
this crime. While Wyoming was a ter
ritory the legislature enacted a law cov
ering the crime at the same time the Ed
munds law against polygamy and big
amy was in force. Murphy claimed that
the territorial legislature had no au
thority to pass such a law, it being a
matter within the jurisdiction of con
gress. That the act being void at the
time of its enactment it could not be re
vived by the adoption of the state con
stitution and that since statehood was
obtained Wyoming had been without
any law against bigamy. The court
ruled that the territorial legislature had
the right to pass a law concurrent with
the United States law and that it was
continued in force by the adoption of
the state constitution.
Conditions That Confront XcKinley.
Zjlsesvieee, O., May 30. The Be
puhlican state convention was as tame
Wednesday as it was lively the day before-
After being in session tdH mid
night and nominating the head of the
ticket, there was little life left in the
delegates and only minor places to fight
over. Owing to the way in which the
factional lines had been drawn by the
McKinley and the Poraker men in
nominatfngBnshneHfor governor, it was
evident the slate headed by BushnelL
would go through and candidates not
on that slate would go down Kke Nash,
E3efer, Hoyt, Poe, Harris, Barger and
Nevin had previously gone down before
the n'"?ifl,i"fr;ra.irfnTi combination.
The administration did not surrender
without a fight, however, and held the
convention in continuous session from
9 a. m. to 215 p. m. With a single ex
ception, in which little interest was
taken, the BushnelL slate went through
complete far the eight places on the
state ticket, secured a majority of the
members and all the officers of the state
committee and really made a clean
sweep of the old regime.
Yet the most material thing for the
future are the conditions that confront
Governor McKinley. "FTr presidential
boom in Ohio is in the same embarrass
ment as was Sherman's candidacy under
the Poster administration with Gar
field's senatorial annex in 3SS0. In 1884
Sherman had the Blaine element as well
as Poraker and Poster to contend with.
InlSSS Sherman had the same old experi
ence and in 1SQG there will be a McKin
ley delegation from Ohio to the Repub
lican national convention, but it wnl be
selected by Poraker nnd Bushnell, no
matter what may be the result of the
state election next November. The
Poraker-BushnelL comMiiation fcns con
trol of all the party machinery and the
present party organisation continues
till after the selection of the delegates
to the next national BepuhTfaan conven
tion. Poraker and Bushnell w3i be two
af the delegates-at-Iarge themselves and
they are not at all likely to grant Mc
Kinley permission to nam s the other,
two, although it is believed, they wQI
consent to Sherman and Poster going 23
the other delegates-at-Iarge.
Governor McKinley Is .Satisfied.
New York, May 30. Wilham Mc
Kinley of Ohio has arrived in the city.
In answer to a question of what he
thought of the result of the Ohio 3e
pubTfcan convention and nominatMm of
Mr. Bushnell for governor, Governor
McKinley said that the result of the
convention was entirely satisfactory to
him. Although he had considered
George Nash of Columbus was the
strongest Bpubhcan in the state, he
was satisfied that the ticket nominated
was a good strong one and would surely
be elected. Governor McKinley dis
played a good deal of feeling in speak
ing of the talk which T?
been afioat that he was at dagger's
points witn ex-Governor Poraker. 41fc
is absurd to talk of a fight between my
self and Mr. Poraker." he declared.

Ixetdox, May 30. The Amffrfrans
were unusually fortunate in betting an
the races. Bichard Croker won the
first race by backing Courtier, Prince of

Courtier simply because he had heard
I that the Prince of Wales backed one of
i the Croker horses at Newmarket. Mr.

Courtier by backing' the Owl for the

SPOONING PARTIES.
Saw These Commendable Aids to 2Iatri
mony Should Be Conducted.
"Spooning' parties are papular in
some quarters. They take their name
from a good, old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged f an
ta stic actions of a young-man or a young
wonrrm who is in love. Porsomereasan,
which no one ever could explain, every
bodv pokes fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in aH the romantic story
books. The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "spoony."
vvben a "spooning" parry is given,
the committee in charge of the event re
ceives a spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guess with a
spoon. These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the srmflsrtty of
costume or by a distmguisbiag ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care of each
other d;:::?i the canctauance of the sa
dal gathering.
Of course the distribution of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fulness, the aim being to so place tbpm
as to properly fit the case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the pnug
people of same neighborhood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and thev are the source of
no tnn of fun. It is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as well,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to a diffi
dent swain after he feels tha his pas
sion is not a secret, but that his weak
ness for a "spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and womw; on the commit
tee which dispenses the spoon,?. Is may
be mentioned that after the spoors have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultakHiregarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case. Thw consul
tstion is known by the name of "spoon
ing." St Louis Bepubiic.
