below 90 degrees.
normal in the northern and most of the ex-
treme western counties and heavy in the
southern counties. In several southeastern
counties 1t ranged from two to slightly more
than four inches.
The past week has been an excellent one
for the growth of vegetation in all parts of
the state. Winter wheat has rpened rap
idly and harvesting has commenced. The
quality Is everywhere good, but the acreage
is small and the yield per acre is also
small. Oats have made rapid progress and
are now ripening in southern counties.
Some damage to oats is reported, caused by
lodging, rust and hail. but the damage is
small and the crop promises to be large
one. Spring wheat Is looking well.
Corn has continued to grow rapidly and
is now too large for cultivation. except in
northern counties Corn is laid by fairly
free Of weeds. but more cultivating would
have been done had it grown less rapidly
and some fields have been laid by weedy.
The earliest planted corn is tasseing out in
southern counties. Taken as a whole, corn
continues in exceptionally good condition.
good crop Of tame grass is being cut
for hay in eastern counties.

Condition of the New Postomce.

Some of the furniture for the new post
office building has arrived, but the large
shipment which was due here on July has
not come yet. Gas fixtures for the entire
building are due on July Is and the firm
having the contract for supplying these will
have to submit to a forfeiture of SIS for
every days delay after the date mentioned.
The government has authorized the use of
both electric lights and gas, but II looks now
as If gas would be the only illuminant for
some time to come. The bid OF an Omaha
company was accepted for supplying electric
lights and power to operate the stamp-can-
ceiling machine. This company has a fran
chise here, but work on the fines from the
main power house in Omaha to this city has
been temporarily abandoned. 1t is under
stood that the high price of copper wire is
the cause of the delay in building this pro-
posed line. Unless power is furnished the
electric stamping machine cannot be oper-
ated and according to the accepted bids this
power must come from Omaha. The interior
woodwork, which is all quartered oak, is
being vanished and dressed down. very
rich polish is obtained by the process used
and although this work is slow 1t will be
completed by the time Postmaster Etter is
ready to move. Orders have been given for
the connecting OF the boilers in order that
everything may be ready when Captain Et-
ter takes charge OF the building.

Grading Twenty-second street.

There was a special meeting OF the city
council Monday night for the purpose OF
passing the ordinance authorizing the grad
ing OF Twenty -second street from to @.
This ordinance was brought up at the first
regular meeting in the month and was
pushed along as rapidly as possible. Now
that this ordinance is passed bids will be
advertised for, which will take ten days,
and then the work will commence. The
contract for grading Twenty third street
was let to Dan Hannon some time ago, but
work on this street has been delayed on
account of the residents on Twenty second
street being desrous of securing the dirt
to be taken from Twenty-third street. 1t
is estimated that 1t will take $4,000 cubic
yards of dirt to fill Twenty-second street
and more than this amount will be taken
from Twenty-third street. Owing to the
short haul both streets can be graded at a
very low rate.

FLIES At HIN WITH A KNIFE
Vicious Attack by Discharged Man Upon
q. G, Leavitt at Fremont.
PROMPT HELP MERTs A FATALITY
Peter Boyd, the Man with the Knife
is Arrested and Will lie Tried
in County Court
Today.

FREMONT, Neb., July 11.--(special Tere-
gram)-Heywood G. Leavitt, president Of
the Standard Beet Sugar company, had a
narrow escape from being stabbed to death
near the factory last night by a man by the
name OF Peter Boyd, alias Peterson. Boyd
had been drinking heavily since the Fourth
and had not been working. Last night about
supper time he raised some disturbance in
the dining room and bunk house.
Manager Patterson reported the case to
Mr.. Leavitt, who discharged him and an
other man who was mixed up In the trouble,
ordering them to leave the premises. When
Leavtt left the office to go to his house,
which is near the factory, Boyd met him
and came at him with knife. 1t was abou.
dark and Leavtt was not aware of trouble
until Boyd suddenly jumped onto him. Leav-
lit, who is a small, slender fellow, but an
accomplished athlete, knocked him down
once and the two men struggled together for
a few seconds.
While the fracas was going on Leavitt
noticed that Boyd was striking at his right
side just above the hip and for the first
time was aware that the man had knife.
He has scratch about two inches long just
above the hip and long scratch or cut on
the right side of his neck. His pants and
coat also bear the marks OF the knife. Some
other persons now came to Leavitts rescue
and Boyd ran away.
Sheriff Kreader arrested Boyd about 4
o'clock this afternoon on Main street in this
city and he will have a hearing on the charge
of assault with intent to do great bodily
harm before the county Judge tomorrow. 1t
was a narrow escape for Leavitt and had he
not been we'll skilled with his fists he would
probably have been killed. Boyd has been
at work at the sugar factory for a short
time and nothing further is known of him
The other man who was discharged at the
same time, 1t is thought, was also watch
