' Many farmers in this .vicinity have availed themselves of the ben efit of hail insurance for their crops. This is an excellent plan for all to adopt. Card of THANKS--Relatives of the late J. W. Reed wish to pub licly express their thanks to the people of this city for the sympathy and assistance tendered them during- the illness of the deceased, and trust that a similar affliction may be far removed from them. Director Wolcott of the United States geological survey, in reply to a letter written to the agricul tural department by the president of the Illinois Central railway com pany making inquiry as to the pro gress of the irrigation movement in the west and its possibilities in developing arid and semi-arid land, that is of very great interest to the people living west of the ninetieth meridian in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. From the statements of Director Wolcott the farmers of these sections must certainly draw the couclusion that there is little reason to hope for increased rainfall though a change of climate condi tions, and that it is the part of wisdom to develop all the possibili ties of irrigation and to utilize by storage and otherwise all the water obtainable. Twenty years ogo the theory was generally held that cultivation and tree planting would cause an increase of rainfall in the semi-arid section, but the theory has not held good either there or in any other portion of the country. "The only way," says Director Wolcott, 44by which the climatic changes, if any be made by the ad vance of cultivation or by artificial means, can be ascertained, is by comparison of long series of records kept at once place and under simi lar conditions as to instruments and methods. Unfortunately, we do not have in the west many such series; and even these are open to doubt, on account of questions re- omrr!?Tir ViTin M instruments the kind of and the care with which used. Again it is now known that the weather changes in any one locality are so great that a series migfht "be selected to show progressive change in one direction or another, where the whole record does not do this. EESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. In memory of Brother J. "VV. Reed. To officers and brothers of rVYalla Walla Lodge jSTo. 56.LO.O.F: Whereas: Our beloved brother J. W. Reed departed this life on July 25th, 1895, be it therefore Resolved, That in the death of Brother Reed our lodge has lost a faithful and honored member; the community a generous and re spected citizen; his family an un selfish brother and a kind and lov ing father. Our brother was cut olf from us and from all earthly ties in the prime of his manhood, having only reached the forty-sixth milestone on life s journey. When the grim messenger of death came he was prepared to face him. The lessons of Odd Fellowship were in delibly impressed upon his mind and memory, and he had so lived that when the hour of death ap proached he felt no fear, but calm ly placed his trust in Him who cures all pain, removes all sorrow and who js a father to the father less. Resolved. That we hereby ex tend to the family of our deceased brother our sympathy in this the hour of sorrow, and especially to the bereaved daughter who is now the only surviving member of a once happy family, we offer the as-r surance that the kind care and fatherly affection of which she has been bereft,, will, in all possible measure, be extended to her by Odd Fellows. Be it further Resolved: That our charter be draped for a period of thirty days and that the above memorial be spread upon our lodge records; that a copy of the same be forwarded to the family of our de ceased brother and also be fur nished for publication.

F. Jj. Terry was elected director. The building of the new school house was left with the board. A location could not be selected by the voters ..as some wanted it at the four, corners north, of the old site, which is about sixty five rods north ot . the center, and others wanted it at, the center, which is about twenty-five rods north of the old:site, so it,-was left for the jcounty superintendent 'to decide.

The death of a brother caused Miss Alice "Weed of Boone to go into spasms and her recovery is doubtful. The fields, of rye in Banner county are "coming through" in fine condi tion. The grain stands four feet high in its stocking feet. Dr. Barber, assistant physician at the Norfolk asylum, has made the startling discovery that several inmates of the institution are sane. The Nebraska City celebration committee is hunting for a fool to entertain the people on the fourth by jumping "from the "bridge that spans the Big Muddy. If all the grasshoppers in Ne braska were carefully herded and closely corralled,, says the York Times, there would not be enough of them to eat the crop of eighty acres of York county land.

Sugar beets around Winside are in fine condition, says the.Tribune. They give a promise of an excellent ,, crop and are growing "fit to kill." ' They give employment to many who live in town who would other wise be idle and are one of the best things that could have been thought of for this time. If the crop turns out as well as it is expected a great. many beets will be planted nextV year and much more work be done. In New York state the statistic" . for 1895 show that "the 125 savings banks had nearly S644.000.000 on deposit."

We are told that "only $5, 000, 000 was lost in the whisky trust." It is a pity that some of the other great trusts should not be made to score similar losses.
