The maximum temperatures ror the week have generally been below 90 degrees. The rainfall of the week has been below normal In the northern and In most of the extreme western counties and heavy in the southern counties. In several southeastern counties It rang ed from two to slightly more than four Inches. The past week has been an excel lent one for the growth of vegetation In all parts of the state. Winter wheat has ripened rapidly, and harvesting Iiuh commenced. The quality Is every where good, hut the acreage Is small and the yield per acre Is also small. Oats have made rapid progress, and are now ripening in southern coun ties. Some damage to oats Is reported, caused by lodging, rust and hull, hut the damage Is small, and the crop promises to be a large one. Spring wheat is looking well. Corn has continued to grow ra-pldly, and Is now too large for cultivation, except In northern counties. Corn In. laid by fairly free of weeds, but more cultivating would have been done had It grown less rapidly, and some fleldB have been laid away weedy.

Ainsworth dispatch: County Clerk Smith has received official notification of the commutation of the sentence of Ole Anderson from imprisonment for life to fifteen years, one month and eight days, which with good time re leased nlm from prison on the Fourth of this month. The history of the case Is as follows: On the 31st day of March, 1887, Ole Anderson, living In the southeast part of what was then Brown county, but later partitioned off as Rock county, was arrested for the murder of his wife which occurred a few days pre vious. He was tried and on the 20th day of February, 1889, after nearly two years had passed, was convicted and sentenced to he hanged. His sentence was afterward commuted to Imprison ment for life. The murder was most foul, Anderson braining Ms wife with a bucket and afterwards hiding the body In an old well where It was found. On the 3rd of this month Gov ernor Poynter commuted the sentence as above, making Anderson a free man. There Is a good deal of dissat isfaction over the governor’s action and It will he widespread when it be comes generally known. No intima tion was given our people so far as known that any effort was being made to paruon Anderson and the news will come as a shock to our Justice-loving people who feel that such work is a hid for the court of Judge Lynch to sit in Judgment hereafter. Home Moral Proportions In I.sw. Fremont dispatch: A case has been on trial in the district court for the last two days involving some some what novel propositions of law. Geo, Korn suddenly disappeared from his home In the western part of the coun ty in November, 1891, and has not been heard of since. His property was mortgaged and there were rumors that a part of it had been sold. About a year ago he inherited considerable property, and as he has been atisent seven years his wife, Anna Kern, made application to the county court for her appointment as admin istratrix of his estate, alleging that, not having been heard from him for seven years, he was legally dead. The application was resisted by some of j his creditors, who at once commenced i attachment proceedings, levying on some land. The county court decided in favor of Mrs. Kern and the creditors took an appeal to the district court. Last evening the Jury brought In a verdict in her favor. The creditors claimed that Kern left to avoid prose cution for the crime of selling mort gaged property and that, therefore, the presumption of death on account of seven years’ absence did not apply. Ttirnlnir Out Well. The rains which have fallen In this part of the state during the past week, j says a Wayne dispatch, have made ! doubly sure the biggest crops with I which this country has been blessed ! for many years. The corn has long ago been laid by and is now as high as a man’s head and will, according to the estimates of conservative far mers, go eighty bushels to the acre. Wheat Is being harvested and what was supposed was a total failure Is making a good crop. Oats and other small grains were never in finer con dition. The prospects are that, with the exception of wheat, this portion of Nebraska will break all previous records in the matter of large crops. The farmers here are still holding their corn from last year, not being in a condition where they are forced to sell, as has been the case in pre vious years.
