The week ending May 26 was one of highly
favorable temperature condition In all dis

lantic states, more rain was needed at the
cloae of the week In those districts. Rain
la much needed In Tennessee, over the
northern portion of Mississippi and Ala
bama and In central and southern Florida.
Excessively heavy rains retarded work and
caused aome damage by washing and over
flows In tbe lake region in tbe statea of tbe
Ohio and lower Missouri valley.
Corn Planting I laterrapted.
On the Pacific coast the first part of tbe
the week was too cold In Washington ' and
Oregon, , but more favorable condition pre

With the exception of drying wlnda tho

ally favorable. Heavy frost occurred on
the19th and 20th In the middle and south
ern Rocky Mountain district, causing con
siderable damage.
Heavy rain have Interrupted corn plant
ing over extensive areas In tbe Missouri,
upper Mississippi and Ohio valleys and lake

replanting will be necessary aa a result of
overflows and washed lands. The esrly
planted corn has made good growth
throughout the central valleys, but la sum

FIND CLOTHES ON RIVER BANK
Searchers Discover Garment and
Jfote of Mlealna- Woman, bat Body
la Not Recovered.
HUMBOLDT, Neb.. May 27. (Special.)
Considerable excitement has prevailed In
this section this morning over the mys
terious disappearance of the wife of Thomas
Maxwell, a farmer living a short distance
southeast of the city.
Officers in the surrounding town 'were
notified to keep a watch for her and a
searching party wa at once formed in
the neighborhood to seek through the im
mediate vicinity and drag the stream.
The searching party at I o'clock found
the body of Mrs. Maxwell in the Nemaha
river about half a mile below where she
entered tbe water. The appearance of the
body Indicated that the womaa had drank
carbolic acid before throwing herself In
the stream. The husband of the dead
woman was much affected at the time of
the finding of the body and was with diffi
culty restrained from lesplng Into the
water and taking hla own life.
The woman haa been In poor health for
the last year and during tbe last six weeks
her Dines teemed to prey upon her mind
to such an extent as to cause her husband
and friend much uneasiness. From ber
action her husband thought it unsafe to
leave her alone and has therefore been
with ber constantly. t
Some time during Monday nlgbt Mr.
Maxwell had a bad (pell and the husband
wa up with her most of the night. Toward
morning he dozed off for a abort time and
awakened to find her mlsstog. A search
of the house and premise failed to reveal
a trace of the missing woman and the fact
that she had taken but few clothes and
was apparently In possession of a bottle
of carbolic acid, which waa gone from the
shelf, cused much fear for ber safety.
About noon a portion of her clothing was
found on the bank of the Nemaha, near the
Skalak bridge, and to the wearing apparel
waa pinned a note In which she bade goodby
to her husband and family,
Mr. Maxwell haa been a resident of this
section for a number of years and the
family consists of three children, tbe young
est of which 1 11 year of age. He 1 a
renter and Uvea on the farm of Jerome
Wilts.
Mrs. Maxwell was a woman of about 45
yesrs.
