conducted at the Catholic church
in this city by Rev. Muyssen anc
the body laid to rest in Mt. Hope

sioner of Indian Affairs for this

yet to come , beside the regular
payment , making § 25 for each In
dian over the age of IS years.
The U. S. weather bureau re
port for the week ending April 19 ,
has some interesting features. The
highest and lowest temperature
respectively was , 62 ° on the 19th
and 10 ° on the 14th , giving a
range of 52 ° and a mean or aver
age for the perion of 32.8 ° , which
is about 14 ° below the normal for
the week. Since the first of the
month there has been a loss of
117 ° in temperaturs. The pre
cipitation .5 of an inch , a loss of
.2 of an inch compared with the
normal and a gain since the 1st of
April of .21 of an inch. The winds
have scarcely been equal to the
normal , the highest velocity being
26 miles from nw on the 15th.
The crop outlook up to date is
very favorable.
The second weekly crop bulletin
issued by the U. S. weather bu
reau April 18 , 1905 for the Ne-
Draska section shows that the dry
cold weather of the past week has
3een unfavorable for the growth
of vegetation. Winter wheat con
tinues in excellent condition.
Spring wheat and oats are coming
up nicely. Grass has grown slow
ly. Alfalfa has wintered well and
is growing finely. The low tem
perature caused some damage to
oats and probably slightly injured
apricots , early plums and a few
cherries in central and southern
counties. Plowing for corn has
progressed rapidly and a very lit
tle corn has been planted in south
western counties. A considerable
acreage of early potatoes have
Deen planted.
A Dangerous Runaway.
Jesse Granger's four-horse team
started on a run with his wagon
while he was loading it with coal
: rom a car on the tracks yesterday
ust before noon. They came up
Main street on the full run and
; hey were going pretty fast. Mrs.
Nicholson and Miss Holcomb had
to run to get out of their way on
the street east of Mrs. Elmore's
millinery store. The near horse
tried to turn the team at the cor
ner of Virginia street to go east
jut the others didn't have that
notion and swung so near the elec
tric light post on the corner by
Barker's gallery that the off horse
struck the side of his head on the
post and fell flat as sudden as if he
were shot dead , turning a somer
sault and breaking a new bridle
and the singletree. The other
three horses went on with the
wagon to the next post at the cor
ner of the Star livery barn where
they run straddle of the post and
came to a sudden stop , breaking
the harness in several places. The
grey horse which struck the first
post got up almost instantly and
didn't appear to be badly hurt ,
though when it fell it appeared to
have broken its neck.

ha , whereby they will now become
the sole agents of Pattens' Sun
Proof Paint , of this place. After
having put forth considerable ef
fort and study m their search for
the best , they have come to the
conclusion that Pattens' Sun Proof

merits of paint value than any
thing else that could be found.
They found it possessed greater
spreading qualities , lasted longer
and held its color better. They will
issue a written guarantee with ev
ery can of paint sold by them and
if it is not entirely satistactory in
every way , return the certificate
of guarantee and they will furnish
