T-e ground being In good' condition,, the progress with plowing was better than usual last August.' The soil was rather dry for fall seeding the first half ot September nd entirely too wet the last ten days, and less than the usual amount of seeding was done In September. The wet weather con tinued during the first half ot October and fall seeding was considerably delayed, but fair progress was made the last half of the month. During November the moist con dition of the soil retarded seeding some what In southeastern counties, but In other parts of the state the month was an ex ceptionally fine one for farm work. Cold weather" came early in December, n as much of the wheat was sown late, plants were smaller than usual, but and healthy. The winter weather was not severs and as a rule did not In juriously affect wheat. The heavy snows of February left the soil moist, and while little work was dona In March, the soil was moist and wheat, rye and grass started nicely The first decade In April 190S was warm, with beneflclal showers ou the 10th In the central and eastern counties) the rain fall exceeded an Inch in a few counties swg the Platte river, but was generally less than half an Inch. Farm work pro gressed rapidly. Oat sowing Is nearlng completion in southern counties and is well advanced in northern; some early sown oats are up nicely. Spring wheat is nearly all sown, and In soma places the acreage rd as tl pis smng will be considerably leBS than last year. Grass and fall sown grain are starting nicely. Winter wheat Is generally in gool condition, although' in some places It has been winter killed in spots. In the south ern counties rain would be beneficial .to wheat. The Soli Is bec6mlng" dry and the high winds ot the week have been rather unfavorable. ' O. A. LOVELAND. Station Director, Lincoln.

M GOVERNOR blGNS THE BILLS Fini8hi Uo the Work Left Him by the Recent Legis attire. NEW POLICE OFFICERS FOR LINCOLN ioTcrnor Mickey Herelres Invitation, Which He Accepts, o Accompany President on Nebraska , Tonr. (Fvom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb, April 14. (Special.) Governor Mickey today signed 8. F. 212 by Marshall to prevent overhead Insurance; S. F. 20, to allow mutual companies to re organize under the legal reserve premium plan; H. R. 4S2. to llow the city of Lln coin to levy a school tax that will bring Into the school fund not more than $150,000, and H. R. 78, appropriating $10,000 for a Lincoln monument. The Lincoln monu ment bill was dug up the last thing this afternoon by Representative McClay and presented to the governor. Attached to the bill was a statement from Chief Clerk Ware and Secretary of the Senate Kelm, that' It had been regularly passed by both houses. Owing to the carlessness of a house employe tbe bill was sidetracked before It received the signature of Speaker Mockett. As the bill was passed by both bouses and it was simply an .oversight that U was not signed by Speaker Mockett, the governor signed it. Representative McClay discovered the bill In the "Indefinitely postponed" pigeon hole and brought It forth It Is not believed that the bill is Invalidated by the failure ot the speaker to sign it. . The governor took' all day In consider ing the bills signed, and did not attach his signaturo to them until late this after noon. Ho believed the bills were uncon stitutional and under the advice of the attorney general, he derided this morning to veto at least two of them. Speaker Mock ett and others Interested in the Lincoln bill, bore down on the governor and he decided to attach his signature. "They argued." said the governor, "that If the bill was unconstitutional the courts could decide It. As there was a question I decided to sign the bill." There is no question but that tbe action of the Lincoln excise board In reducing tbe liquor license fee had something to do with the governor signing the bill. It Is believed the reduction in the license will decrease the school fund over $16,000. The decrease In receipts from the general levy will be about $20,000 owing to the cutting down of the valuation of property. The maxi mum levy In Lincoln is 20 mills, though this has been levied and the saloon license has been high, the receipts have been barely sufficient to keep the schools go ing. All these facts were brought to the attention of Governor Mickey. Senator Howell of Omaha was here yes terday, presumably looking after S. F. 120. This bill was drawn by the Security Mutual of Lincoln, and it affects only this com pany. The officers say the Bankers Life and Bankers Reserve were opposed to the bill and fought It bitterly. Kew Police Officers. O. M. Routzahn is Lincoln's new chief of police; Byron O'Kane, who was city Jailer, Is the new captain; W, F. McWllllams, who was a carpenter, Is the new sergeant; J. C. Mitchell, who was a patrolman, is the new city detective. Chief Hoagland Is a private citizen. So Is Night Captain Ireland, City Detective James Malons and Night Ser geant McGulre. CV' M: Greene, who was the desk sergeant,' Is still the desk sergeant. The fee for a liquor lipense, which was $1, 500, is now $1,000., -.That druggist license Is $200. All this is bytthe' grate of the nsw excise board. At its first meeting held last night the license question was settled and at the meeting this morning the officers nf the police force were named. Besides this thirty liquor licenses were granted. The new chief of police was formerly a pa trolman and later a deputy sheriff. Mayor Adams voted for the high liquor license and Wolfe and Hosklns voted for the $1,000 fee. The rules of the excise board are practically the same as those that gov erned the old board. The reduction of the fee. it is claimed by members of the Board of Educatlcn, will take from the school fund of the city at least $15,000. It was the main issue, however, upon which the cam paign was fought. The city council also organized last night and re-elected J. L. Lyman president. Rector Kaaon Resign. Rev. Francis W. Eaeon has resigned as rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal church. The news came as distinct surprise to a number of the members of his parish. It was written and mailed last night after long and stubbornly contested balloting at the annual parish meeting, called for the purpose of electing wardens and vestrymen for the, coming year. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the election ended, and after the result was announced Mr. Eason retired to his study and wrote out his resignation. Members of the church stated today that Mr. Eason acted under a misunderstanding of the attitude of members towards him and misinterpreted remarks made during the progress of tho balloting. They believe that when the real sentiment of the vast majority of the members, which is strongly In favor of his remaining, is made known to him he will reconsider his action and withdraw bis resignation. By its terms It does not become effective until July 1. C. H. Rudge wss elected senior warden. Charlea T. Neal defeated E. R. Siier for Junior warden by one vote.

Governor Mickey this morning received a letter from the private secretsry of the president requesting him to meet the presl dent's train at Hastings on April 27. The governor haa sent an acceptance. He said this morning that he would travel with the president throughout the state. He will be the guest of the president In his special car. It is quite likely that Adjutant General Culver will go to Alliance to welcome the president to the state as the governor's representative. Tha personnel of the party which will accompany the governor to Hast ings to meet the president has not yet been determined upon. Plrvate Secretary Allen may be one of tne party and Adjutant Oen era! Culver, as the governor's chlef-of-stsff. will also probably be taken along, although the governor stated this morning thst he had made no definite plans. Governor Mickey has been In consultation with the local reception committee and has agreed to all their plana for the visit of the president. Hoars Cans Tronble. A drovs of hogs gamboling on the grees In their usual playful manner, out In Ham ilton county occasioned Hsrlsn Heist to bring suit against Peter Jscoby for $2,050 for damages. And the case Is now before the supreme court for final settlement, the Hamilton county court having decided in favor of the owner of the cause of the trouble. Heist, who Is yet a boy, wss driving along tha country highwsy shout two years ago In the month of September. His horse wss gentle, so the petition In error filed today states. It continues "the swine, so at large and unrestrained, suddenly, with great violence and making a loud noise peculiar to such anlmajs, rushed out of an adjoining cornfield and scared the horse." Then, It appears, there was something doing. As one hog rsn under tho fore feet of the horse that usually quiet and domesticated animal raised on his hind feet. These props were knocked from under him in about a Jifiy, snd then Mr. Horse took tbe management of affairs Into his own hands. He ripped and tore, and he reared and charged, and the upshot was that the buggy was shot up into the sir and came down in many pieces under one of which was young Heist. And to this day Heist has not recovered. HI. rm broken and he received various other dam ages to bis anatomy, which bis mother, who brings the suit, thinks eniltlo tho vnn man to the amount of damage specified in tne did.

Any one can escape entirely the 111 ef-1 fects of spring weather, and Instead of; dragglug drearily through weeks of had 1 feelings and perhaps acquiring a fatal disease can find themselves in as excel lent spirits and health as at any other time of the year. Get a bottle of Peruna when tbe first languid feelings make themselves appar ent In the spring. Take It according to the directions on the bottle. Continue this treatment' through the r.rst months of spring. This course of treatment Is not experiment; It Is as positive In lis results as any fact of science can be. After you have tried It you will say Pe runa is positively the best spring medi cine you have ever tried. A great many years of extensive trial of this remedy in this class of derange ments have demonstrated that there are no failures.
