The U. S. weather bureau re
port for the week ending June 28 ,
shows extremes of temperature
respectively : 75 ° on the 28th ,
and 45 ° on the 22nd , a range of
30 ° . The mean for the week was
59 ° and the normal 69 ° , a loss
of 10 ° . The low temperature and
lack of sunshine during this period
have not helped crops very much.
The precipitation is probably un
precedented in amount , the total
being 3.38 , and the normal 0.78 ,
and excess of 2.6 inches. The-
lowland crops more or less have"
almost been drowned out for the
time being. The winds have been
aigher than usual and exceptional
ly high on the 22nd , when the
velocity reached its maximum of
30 miles per hour on the 22nd.
Thunder storms occurred every
day except one.
The summary from Nebraska
section weather bureau shows as
follows : The past week has been
cold and wet with several severe
lail and rain-storms which serious
ly damaged small grain in small
areas. The mean daily tempera
ture averaged 30 ° below normal
in southern counties and 8 ° below
in northern. The rainfall occurred
mostly in heavy thunder-storms
and was above normal in nearly
all parts of the state. It exceeded
an inch in all except a few north
eastern and northwestern counties.
In most of the central counties it
ranged between 2 and 4iaches. .
Winter wheat is ripening rapidly
and the harvest has begun in
southeastern counties. Wheat
has rusted some in the regions of
heavy snowfall but not enough to
cause a material injury to the crop.
In general , the damage by Hessian
fly seems to be less than was ex
pected and the crop now promises
to be better than seemed probable
earlier in the season. Spring
wheat and oats have grown well
and improved in condition. Po
tatoes continue to grow well. The
wet weather delayed alfalfa har

the crop in western counties.
Clover.and timothy are being cut.
The prospects in most parts of the
state is for a large hay crop. Corn
is small but has grown well the
past week except in northern
counties where the low tempera
ture has been unfavorable.
At 9 o'clock yesterday evening ,
June 28 , 1905 , Miss Lizzie Hayes
and II. A. Daniels were united in
marriage at the home of Sam
Hudson near Simeon. The bride
entered on the arm of her father
and was met by the groom under
a canopy of white flowers where
the impressive ring ceremony was
performed by Eev. Cumbow. A
large company of guests present
showered congratulations upon
the happy couple. Many valuable
and beautiful presents were re
ceived. Both the bride and groom
have resided in this county for a
number of years and are well and
favorably known. THE DEMO
