A number of fields of wheat are show

wheat is going down, which means a
total loss. Many corn fields are green

that Viola is under 16 years of . age and

seems that after the marriage the couple
went to Omaha where the defendant was

suit is brought in the name of the father

about the amount of rainfall, as the
government guage shows 15.57 inches
since the first of May. The May rain
fall was 850 aud the June 7.07. These
rains have not been general, going in
streaks, but there has been plenty of
moisture and some to spare.
Sometime ago Tom Hill had some rip
rapping put in on his placed east of Mon
roe, where the river was cutting the
bank. This was before the high water
and examination since that time shows
that the work has held and the current
pushed away from the bank. MissGeer
of Columbus owns land east of Mr.
Hill's and thii was also protected by the
riprapping, which has held the curreut
away from the bank, and stopped the
cutting. They are both well pleased
with the work, which will save quite a
tract of land from being swallowed up
by the river.
For a good many years the Loup river
has been gradually cutting the banks
and making inroads on the pasture own
ed by J. E. North. Of late it has been
cutting toward the head of the slough
and the last high water was sufficient to
start a current of the river down the
slough, which will eventually make an
island out of some land at present used
for pasture. But the owners are going
to do something to protect their inter
ests, and Wednesday a representative of
the Omaha Current Deflector company
looked over the situation, and in a few
days they will decide what they are go

The reports ooming to this offioe in

Cramp Kings.
Formerly it was customary for kings
of England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings, the wearing of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy.
They were made from the metal ot
decayed coffins and consecrated with
an elaborate ceremony, some detail?
of which are still preserved. They
were "highly recommended by the
medical profession" about 1557, for
Andrew Boorde, in his "Breviary ot
Health," speaking of cramp, says:
"The kynge's majestie hath a great
helpe in this matter in hallowing
crampe ringes without money or petition."-
Occasionally cramp rings played a
persuasive part in diplomacy. Lord
Berners, our ambassador at the court
of Charles V., wrote In 150S "to iay
lorde cardlnall's grace" for some
"crampe ryngs," with trust to "bestowe
them well, by God's grace."

COULDN'T SEE JOKE
TYSON AND BOTTS GOT TOO
MUCH OF A BATH.
Long 'immersion Probably Accounted
for Their Inability to Discover Hu
mor in Trick Played on
Them by Friends.
During the summer they take board
ers out at Dr. Jones', and among them
are Messrs. Tyson and Botts, two
young men who are engaged in busi
ness in the city. One day last July,
after supper, Tyson and Botts went
down to the creek to take a swim. As
soon as they had left the house, two
or three of the other fellows suggested
that it would be a good joke for two
of them to dress in women's clothes
and go over and scare Tyson and
Botts. So several of them borrowed
some skirts and hats and other female
fixings and, after assuming them,
started toward the creek.
The two swimmers saw them com
ing, and began to paddle up-stream to
get out of their way. The female fig
ures came nearer and took seats on
the bank of the stream, so close to the
clothes of the swimmers that there
was no chance at all for Tyson and
Botts to sneak out and dress them
selves hurriedly. And the women sat
there in the most aggravating man
ner, while Tyson and Botts staid in
the water shivering.
Presently they got up to go. the
swimmers thought; but to the horror
of the latter, they perceived the wom
en get into a boat and begin to paddle
up-stream. They went very slowly,
and so Tyson and Botts had time
enough to swim farther up in order to
get them out of the way. The boat
followed them up for about a mile, and
then Tyson concluded to do something
to explain the situation to the ladies.
He was beginning to feel sick.
Accordingly, he shouted at the top of
bis voice, and Botts shouted; but
those idiotic women still continued to
pull up-stream. The swimmers were
pretty near crazy, and at last they
made a dash for the bank and hid be
hind the bushes. Then the women
In the boat turned round and began
to row down the stream. Botts and
Tyson got in the water again and
swam after the boat.
The women landed close by their
clothes and, to the amazement of the
swimmers, picked them up and began
to walk off with them. Then Tyson
and Botts became excited and swam
In close to the shore to shout at the
women, and then the women began to
laugh, and the victims of the joke saw
how it was.
When they emerged from the water
they didn't join in the merriment.
They seemed gloomy and sad. and as
soon as Botts got his shirt on he went
up to Peters and shook his fist under
his nose, and said:
"You redheaded idiot, I've a notion
to bang the life out of you! Oh, you
may laugh, but if you ever try any of
your jokes on me again I'll fix you!
Now, you mind me."
Tyson and Botts will board else
where next summer. X. Y. Weekly.
