Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10, 1897.

The temperature OF the past week has
averaged about normal in the eastern
portion OF the State, and q below nor.
nal in the western portion. The maxi
mum temperatures have been below 00o
or most days Of the week.
The rain fall has been above the nor.
NAL in all except the counties along the
Missouri River North of the Platte
River. 1t he's exceeded an inch over tho
greater portion of the state, and in lin
tied areas it has been much heavier. In
parts OF Sherman and Buffalo counties
the.weekly rainfall exceeded 5 inches.
The rains OF the week were unfavorable
for tbrashing and stacking small gram.
In some fcw cases wheat 10 sprouting in
the shock.
Corn has been much benefited by the
rains OF the week, and it has recovered
somewhat from the effects OF the hot,
dry weather the last Of July. In many
counties, however, the crop has been
permanently injured to some slight ex.
tent. In a few limited areas, it 10 est.
mated that the corn will not exceed
three.fourths of an average crop. Gen.
orally, however, tho bulk OF the cora is
in good condition. Corn is very uneven
in development, and, while early corn il
fast maturing, the late corn is just
shooting.

PRIESTS SEEK RETREATS
End of the Long and Bitter Struggle by
ather Fitzgerald and Murphy.

Fathers Murphy Of recumsch and
Fitzgerald of Auburn have started for

ENGLISH
Hsw They Are Paid and Held Respoa-
sible.

'S' 49,
sibie.
In English restaurants, where tho
customer pays his bill through the
waiter, the latter Is held responsible
for its due payment from the moment
he receives the articles ordered by the
customer from the kitchen, and what
IL known as the check system is
pretty generally adopted. The waiter,
on beginning his days work, pays in
to the proprietor or his clerk from $40
to S25 to cover the orders he is likely
to receive during the day, and he is
given in exchange a number OF
checks" For every order he gives he
hands in checks to an equivalent
amount II the value Of the orders ex.
cecds the mount of deposit tho waiter
must pay in more money before he 70.
ceives the dishes. What the customers
pay him he retains until settling time.
II the customer goes away without
paying the waiter must bear the loss.
The waiter Is the person on whom ths
blame naturally falls IL orders are not
promptly executed. But he.is himself
nj the mercy of the kitchen rorteps,.
who pass the dishes from the kitchen,
n these men seriously impede him by
dawdling In carrying out his orders Il
he fails to square them with Q fee.

A SUSPEND D
Landslide on the Terminal OF tho Union
Pacific Railway Bridge.


A great section of the bank of earth
forming the western approach to the
Union Pacific railway bride across the
Missouri at Omaha tumbled down Mon
day night without warning and left
900 feet of the north track without Wis
IDLE means Of support. The sliding of
the embankment occurred just after
two of the Union Pacific engines had
passed ever and only a few moments
before train No. 6 of the Northwestern
road, the Chicago limited express, was
due to pass over the same track. Had
the earth given away either a minute
before or a few moments later there
would undoubtedly have been a terri
BILE catastrophe. A large force Of men
were at once put to work TO repair the
damage. Traffic was not delayed, as
provisions were soon made for hand
ling the ~eastbound trains on the south
track.
