The drought has ruined crops in

way in England and as far north as Nor
way. Italy believes that it will have to

all below 200,000,000 ' bushels. ' The
Jnited States if it has any surplus at

prosperity.
The reports from almost all parts of
the country are that the season is cold
and backward. In many places the
frosts have cut , the early plants and
fruit. The prospect was that the fruit
crop would be. large but it does not ap
pear to be so eucouraging of late.
Street Commissioner Davis last week
examined the covering of the old well in
the center of the street and found it to

-Having got released from their busi
ness interests in Harrison, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. H. Turner have moved to their
farm in Antelope precinct. During the
four years they were in business here
they made many friends who regret to
have them remove, but they have a fine
farm, well stocked, and the care of that
suits them better than the mercantile
business.
On Monday evening Robert Wilson
received a telegram from his brother
who has been searching for their lost
brother, Rov. William Wilson, whom
many of our citizens knew, informing
him that, the object of his search had
been found and he would start for Illi
nois on the following day. The message
did not state whether he was dead or
alive, but Mr, Wilson believes it was the
body of his brother. Rev. Wilson had
many friends in this locality, and intend-
el to move his family here this spring
and become a resident. All extend sym
pathy to the bereaved friends of the un
fortunate man who met an untimely
death far-from friends and homo and,
from the information obtainable, alone
in the mountains in a storm. Further
details will be given when the facts are
learned,

went up there Saturday nightjind came
back with him on Monday, He was ar
raigned before Judge Barker that day
and pleaded guilty. Word was sent to
Judgo Bartow and be ordered the pris
oner beiore mm at uiaurou. County
Attorney Conley and Sheriff Reidy went
down with him last evening and the
plan, was to have him sentenced between
trains and he would be taken fight along
to Lincoln by the sheriff. Thus will the
llr.sf convict over sent to the penitentiary
from Sioux county got there with, yery
little cost to the county. He should be
given a (igbt sentence to compensate
him for having been sq lenient vyil ht

It rained on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday and Monday it put in most of
the day getting up showers and turning
them loose on people just as they got
nicely started to work. The ground is
well wet and the prospects for crops ex
cellent, except that all are a little later
than usual.' The continued cool weather
has caused the small grain to stool out
nicely and a few weeks of warm
weather will develop it rapidly.

of the twins-is a mule. The colt weighs

Robert Wilson had the misfortune 1o
lose another horse a few days ago. He
seems lo bo out of luck with horses.
Some of his friends made up a purse to
help him out but he declined to accept
it, stating that while he uppeciuted the
spirit in which it was tendered and was
gratified to know the kindly feelings felt
for him, his duty seemed to him to be lo
decline it with thanks. It is safe to sav
that not one of those who know Mv.
Wilson will think less of him for the
position he assumed.

supposed they had shut up shop. So he
