The fire record of the past week was
started at the Newport House Sunday
afternoon. Fire caug at In woodwork in
the basement from an overheated chimney,
but was extipguished without the aid of
the department. The second chapter
proved more exciting, the scene being laid
at Sidney Slee's house on Second street;
time, Monday afternoon at 200 O'Clock.
Here the fire caught in the attic by the
chimney burning out, and the flames
spread to the tenement occupied by Frank
E. Miles. No one was present in the house
but Mrs. Slice, who at once telephoned to
L. A. Spauldiug, captain of the fire de-
partment, who hurried out to ring in an
alarm at the nearest box, but the appa ratus
refusing to work, he ran up Main street,
calling on members of the brigade on his
way and sending messenger TO Prouty &
Miller's 70 cause a general alarm. Not
withstanding the accident to the alarm
system, there was but a few minutes
delay in getting two lines of hose playing
streams to the roof of the burning build
ing. The fire was put out after a good
deal of the roof, upper rooms and most of
Mr.. and Mrs. Niles clothing and house
hold effects were destroyed. The interior
damage was largely by water. From ex-
periences at such fires as this, it would
appear practical for the village to have a
chemical apparatus, the use of which
would obviate the great damage always
done by water. Both Miles and Slice were
insured. Mr.. Slice returned from New
York the next day, not knowing about the
fire until his arrival. The closing chapter
In the weeks record was the fire in II. E.
Lanes barn. This was caused from an
overheated stove in the office. A boy dis
covered smoke issuing from the door
Wednesday noon and told Mr.. Lane, who
rang in an alarm and attached bis garden
hose for use, which. together with pals of
water, put the fire out before the fire de-
partment arrived. The damage was
slight. The fact that all of these fires
occurred in the daytime addict materially
to the buildings being saved.

NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS
nge to All Crops in Large
Sections.

LINCOLN, June 2-The following sum
mary OF crop conditions in Nebraska is
given out by the section director OF the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau:
The past week has been cold and wet
The daily mean temperature averaged
degrees below normal in the eastern
counties and degree below in western.
The rainfall has been general and heavy;
over the eastern half Of the state 1t has
exceeded two inches and in most of this
district 1t has ranged between three and
six inches.
The continuous and heavy rain has
practically prevented all work in the fields
for the past week. In all except the ex-
treme western and a few northern coun-
ties large amount of replanting will be
necessary because Of washing out and
covering up OF corn or the flooding of the
low lands by the excessive rains: corn
has thus suffered considerable damage
and the prospect is much less promising
than 1t was week ago, The low lands
are largely covered with water in east
ern counties, which will result in some
damage to small grain; where not under
water oats. wheat and grass have made
rank growth and in a few places have
lodged a little. Grass has grown well
generally; conditions in extreme western
counties were unusually favorable. 1t is
too early TO make an estimate of damage
done by the excessive rains as so much
depends upon the weather Of the next two
weeks.

d. NJ. Logan was awaiting trial in the
district court, which is now in session, for
the murder of Charles Christianson at
Holbrook Neb., on April l, 1903, and was
to have been arraigned tomorrow morning.
The killing of Christianson was a cold
blooded and shocking affair and created
intense feeling against Logan in the COM
munity where the two men resided. II
was the result of an alteration over q
SO account which Logan claimed as his
due. After the dispute seemed to have
been ended he drew a revolver and shot
Christianson three times, inflicting wounds
from which he died In thirty minutes
In the absence of the coroner, Deputy
Sheriff Greenwood has summoned a jury
and will hold an inquest tomorrow.

Kansas City Man f. Charged BY Gov
ernment with violation of
Regulations.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-second Assist
ant Postmaster General Shallenbarger to-
day removed svend schibsby Of Kansas
City, a railway postal clerk. on the charge
Of violating the postal laws. Schibsby is
charged with leading a movement OF rail-
way postal clerks to secure payment for
travelling expenses, a claim that never has
been recognized by the government and
which would involve payment of about
$15OO,OOO annually for the 800 odd clerks in
the country.
The case has been Investigated by Alex
ander Grant the assistant general super
intendent OF the railway mail service.
Schibsby stated that his arrangements
were made in good faith and that they
were not made until he had notified the
chief clerk of his division of his intention
to resign from the service.
The order OF dismissal is based on al
legged violations OF section 1888 of the postal
laws and regulations, forbidding clerks
from engaging In the prosecuting Of claims
against the government; section 1872 which
forbids clerks engaging in other business;
section 1852 which forbids clerks turning
over the mail keys to any one who is not
sworn oficer Of the government and vio-
lation OF instructions of his chief clerk,
and absence without leave on and after

BRIDGE is IN NO DANGER NOW
Missouri River is Falling and People
of Nebraska City Feel
Easier.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., June 2-(Spe-
cial Telegram 1.-The river has been falling
here for the last twelve hours and no fur
ther anxiety for the approach to the Bur-
lington bridge is felt.
LEIGH. Neb., June 2-(Special.) 1.-The
recent heavy rains in this vicinity have
been a great backset to the farmers. Fully
one-fourth of the corn is yet to be
planted, and, as 1t is still raining, there
is little prospect of doing much planting
this week. Some of the corn that is al
ready planted will no doubt have to be
replanted in order that a stand may be
obtained, which, owing to the lateness of
the season, will necessarily make the corn
very late. In town nearly all of the cellars
and Easements have from two to four feet
of water in them caused from the rise in
the underground flow.
MCOOL JUNCTION, Neb.. June 2.-(Spe-
cial )-There has been a perceptible fall in
the Blue river and residents here and along
the valley are feeling much easier Water
has been higher than ever before and has
destroyed crops, fences and carried away
small buildings. 1t is nearly impossible
for people living east or south of McCool
to get to town. Those who are obliged to
come to town come to the track one mile
south, tie their team and walk the rest OF
the way.
FREMONT. Neb, June 2.-(speciaL)--
Many of the roads leading to the city are
almost impossible on account of mud and
consequently no stock or grain is coming
in and there are but few farmers on the
streets. Transfers can only haul small
loads in the city. The Platte is out of it's
banks. but no serious damage is appre.
hended from 1t. The Elkhorn is also out.
