University of Nebraska, Lincoln.—
The past week has been cool, with
heavy rains In southern counties. The
average dally temperature deficiency
has been about three degrees. 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. The ear
liest planted corn is tasseling out In
southern counties. Taken as a whole,
corn continues In exceptionally good
condition.
A good crop of tame g'ass Is being
cut for hay In eastern counties.

Reeking Pardon fnr n Murderer.
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.
