The rough floor of the ICrug block has boon laid and the wall of the first story is rapidly rearing itself under the deft fingers of the masons em ployed. Something of a race will soon bo on between it and the nod addition to the Citl/.ons National bank. The latter had a much later start but does not cover quite as much ground and a race for the finishing touches is quite likely to devloop. A largo portion tion of the foundation of the Citizens bank addition is already in and the balance of the work is speeding along rapidly. Members of the Tribe of Hen Hnr and the Highland Nobles , with their families will picnic tomorrow at Taft's grove on the Elkliorn , south of the city and a time of abundant pleasure Is expected by all who will participate.

There was a shower during last night that was timely and productive of much good. While the crops have not been suffering for moisture , a wet ting of the surface will not hurt thorn In the least , but will contribute that much toward a larger and better devel opment , and the laying of the dust Is a considerate performance on the part of the weather man that will bo ap preciated by the housewife and the merchants who like clean shelves and neat looking goods. Haying and har vesting have boon slightly interfered with , but the prospects are that It will clear up Immediately and no material damage will result from the shower In those particulars. Lincoln , Nebraska's capital city , may not have bats In Its belfry , but it has recently had a spell of bugs that was the limit. They came in droves. Trillions of the Insects settled down upon the town In the night time , swarmed about the electric lamps and drove the stores out of business. A plagno of bugs , strong enough to close the business houses is seldom experi enced , but must ho a nuisance while it lasts. One merchant thought to got rid of the post by saturating a broom with oil , lighting it and holding it In the glare of the light In front of his storo. Millions of victims fell , but millions of others took their places and the nuisance wont on. Saturday night was the tlmo that the horde of bugs took for their raid and numbers of merchants were placed out of busi ness for several hours. Dug Up Old Culvert. The workmen digging the trench for the sewer at the corner of Fifth and Main strcot dug into an old cul vert about six'or seven foot below the surface of the present highway , show ing the tilling that has been done since Norfolk was a village. Some of the old timers recall riding In a boat during a spring ; freshet over the old culvert. BUT BOARD OF INSANITY FINDS DIFFERENTLY.

This has been a remarkable year for extremes In the weather line In this section of the country and It Is quite apparent that not all varieties have yet boon drawn on , as now quirks are put forward every day or every few days. Last winter for a few days there was excessive cold and with it was a snowfall with sleigh ing conditions , the like of which the oldest Inhabitant could not remember. With the opening of spring , which be gan to warm unusually late , came an cxcesslvo amount of rainfall , and all during May the clouds and an over- soaked soil gave Hoods and wetness the like of which was never before known. This continued through Juno and with It the temperature was far below the average. After the Fourth conditions took another change , and for excessive cool and surplus mols- turo , for a few weeks have boon known excessive boat , with scarcely a show er , during which crops have made up for lost time and are today fully as far advanced as Is usual for the sea son. Within the last few days , with showers , has como another lowering of the temperature to below the nor mal , nnd this morning the point of frosting was almost reached Through It all , however , crops have boon grow ing and developing and the people have cheerfully withstood the excess es , constantly expecting something bet tor and more perfect , and the people have noldom been disappointed for long nt a time , and conditions will bo right , beyond nil doubt.
