The University of Ncbrnska weather
bureau gives out the following: Ilaln
fall chart for week ending 8 u. in., May
5. The past week was warm and dry,
followed on Sunday and Mondny by
general und sufllclcnt rain. Tho dally
mean tempcrnturo nvernged 7 degrees
above the normal. Tho maximum tem
peratures of tho week were generally
about or slightly below U0 degrees.
Very little rain fell during the week
previous to Sunday. A genoral rnln
followed In tho southern counties, with
rainfall ranging from half an inch
to an Inch and n quarter.
The week, previous to tho rain, was
most unfavorable for the growth of
vegetation. Winter wheat continued
to suffer for lack of moisture and is
considerably damaged In a few south
ern couutles, where somo wheat fields
have been plowed up. Outs continue In
a very poor Condition. Grass Is short
and pastures poor. Plum, cherry nnd
apple trees aro blossoming very full
and Indlcnto a good crop. Plowing for
corn is well advanced, but corn plant
ing has progressed rather Hlowly the
past week because of tho dry condition
of tlm soil. The rain will materially
Improve tho condition of all crops.

WHAT PHYSICIANS MAY DISCLOSE
Ilcrlflon lijr the Court of AppruU of
Mlmonrl,
An Important ruling made by a court
was that when a person who is suing
lor damages testllles lii court that a
doctor examined him ami found him
Injured, the doctor Is n competent wit
ness in the case, and must tell ubout
his treatment of the case and what ho
found.
This ruling was made In the case of
W. U. Illghrall against the Missouri
Pad lie Hallway company. Hlghfall
was n passenger on a train, and
claimed to hae had his hip dislocated
by a blow of a swinging car door. Hl.i
case was tried in the Circuit court of
the county, and a jury gave him $500
damages. This verdict the Court cf
Appeals resersrd nnd remanded the
caso for a new trial becauso when Dr.
Wood was put on the stand In the trial
of the case, and was asked what he
found lo be the nintter with Alt'. High
fall, the lawyers for the latter objected
to the question, and the coutt sus
tained the objection, holding that a
physician cannot be rorced to reveal
the secrets of the sick-room. But the
Court of Appeals holds that when a
witness seeks to foitlfy his case by tes
tifying that a doctor found him In
jured, ho wuiNos the secrecy imposed
by the statute, and the doctor may be
put upon the stand to testify. Kau
