4 Partly cloudy weather prevailed
during the greater part Of the week,
Light thunder showers occurred on
Wednesday and Sunday. The weather
was mostly clear on Wednesday, and
was clear all day on Friday. The
maximum temperatures ranged from
10 to Sc degrees, and the minimum
temperatures, from 443 to "a degrees.
The mean temperature was about
normal, and the rainfall and the sun
shine were deficient. fs
The weather was generally favora-
BILE for crop growth and farm work.
The cultivation OF corn and potatoes
progressed rapidly, and potatoes! were
mostly laid by. Corn is growing well,
but some complaint is made of dam
age by cut-worms. Potatoes are in
bloom and the prospects are for a
good crop. Wheat is in head, and
promises a fair crop, and rye will al.
SO make fairly good crop. Buck
wheat is being sown. Oats are doing
well, and stock is in splendid condi-
4 ton. Clover is in bloom, and will
soon be ready to cut. Gardens are
growing well. Apples and peaches
will make about half crop, but the
prospects for cherries, pears and
plums are poor. The prospects for
raspberries and blackberries are
promising.

CAPITAL GOSSIP
New Species Of the Coffee Tree Dis.
covered In the Congo Dis
trict Of Africa.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Three
new species of coffee tree have been
discovered in the Congo district by
the French explorer, NJ. Chevalier.
In report to the State Department
Consul General Guenthen, at Frank
fort, in discussing the new discovery,
states that one Of the species Of these
trees was Of remarkable height and
yielded very useful fruit. 1t Is called
coffee excelsa" and attains height
Of GO feet, while other species reach
the height Of shrubs. 1t is a native
OF the forests adjacent to the eastern
tributary of the Sahari. 1t has also
been found on the banks of the Bata,
In the Ubangi basin. 1t grows ut a
high level above the sea and does not
thrive In lower regions exposed to
floods, The tree thrives best in a
rich soil of nitrogen and soda, but
lacking entirely in potash, phosphor-
lie acid and lime. The fruit consists
OF small grains, resembling In shape
and size certain kinds of coffee in
Abyssinia and Mocha. In its wild
state the flve.year.old tree is about
u feet high, yields about 1900 beans,
very rich in caffeine. The French
government intends to make expert.
ments in Its Congo colony in the cul.
tivation and Improvement Of this
wild coffee tree. The natives of Afri.
ca harvest the crop in very reckless
manner, climbing the trees, breaking
OF the branches and causing the
trees to die. According to the recent
treaty between France and the Sui
tan of Snoussi, the Sultan Is required
to furnish annually Geo pounds OF
coffee beans from the trees growing
In his domain.

STRONGER CONTROL OF BANKs.

Washington advices state that in his
annual report Secretary Shaw will have
something TO say about reckless finan-
ciering in national banking and will
recommend a stronger and more direct
control Of the banking system by the
federal government. II is said that the
secretary of the treasury is Disguised
with what he regards as the lack OF
conservatism shown byvfhe banks and
particularly desires TO correct the sys-
TEN by which the banks are able to raise
the rate OF interest, as was done recently
in New York. He is understood to be
OF the opinion that legislation can be
devised whereby the government can
assume the part which was played by
one OF the great banks OF New York
when other banks had raised the rate of
interest 10 height which came near
TO causing a panic in the stock market
and can even do more by preventing
the rate OF interest from being hoisted
at all. Mr. Shaw would have some
thing done 10 put an end to the frequent
appeals to the Treasury Department for
money TO speculate with.
Whatever the secretary OF the treas
ury may have TO say in this matter will
certainly be regarded with very great
interest by bankers and the business
public generally. II he can devise a
practicable plan for doing away with
the arbitrary action, in the matter OF
raising interest rates, by banks which
give aid TO speculation. It will uDdoubt,
! eddy meet with general approval and a

A DEPLETED FUND.

The $10,OO0,00O appropriated last year
for Panama canal work is about ex-
hausted, only a few hundred thousand
dollars remaining. The pay roll at pres
ent amounts to something like $6O0,OO0
a month and there is not enough money
on hand after the payment of the bills
to meet the December pay roll. 1t is
stated that there are bills unpaid for
material and supplies which should be
paid at once, the delay being quite OPP
pressive and unjust to the creditors of
the government.
This, at the very inception of the
work, is somewhat Of a reproach and
suggests that there has possibly been a
! lack of judlcious business Judgment and
management on the part OF the commits
sion. There is no allegation of extrava-
gance or waste, but II does seem that
the appropriation might have been so
| managed as to have extended at least
10 the meeting of congress, so that no
| creditor Of the government would have
had to wait for payment OF course
this will be one Of the first matters to
receive congressional attention and prob.
ably an emergency appropriation to
carry on the work without serious inter
ruption will be made Immediately after
the house and senate are organized. II
would undoubtedly be disastrous TO have
the pay rolls go unpaid for even a few
weeks. It Is a regrettable condition and
one which probably will not occur again.

is 1T To TAUGHT
ole Who Smiles at Others Lapses
Merits a Smile Mt His own"
St Paul Disnatch

St. Paul Dispatch.
1t is the custom to smile broadly at any
mistake in examination papers, for a mis-
take in a mental concept, or the misuse OF
word, appears TO many people as a most
amusing thing. The statement that 1.-The
cry of an elephant is plaintiff or that
arbitration is government by injunction
and dlsapproved of by all rlght-minded
men," or that "hsbeas corpus is bringing a
dead body into court as evidence" has
reused the mirth of the people at the ex-
pense OF Nebraska. our most llterate state.
It is rather a curious national sense OF
humor, this delight Of ours in the mis-
placed or malformed word. II is not
kindly thing. for II always means mirth a.
The expense Of someone else, and II is not
even safe thing, for one does not need to
live long in this imperfect world TO dis
cover that every man in 1t misuses mis-
places words. has some grammatical or rhe-
| torical or photographed cape that he
never rounds safely, from Mr.. Roosevelt
! to the alderman OF your own ward, from
Barrett Wendell to the professor of your
| own college, from your clergyman TO the
members Of your own household. This
| kind of mirth, then, is the unholy Joy OF
your consciousness that you don't make
| the mistake But It is an ostrich variety.
for your own mistake is quite as bad,
viewed from the standpoint OF perfection
as that Of the educational aspirant who
stated that "the elephants cry is plaintiff"
But, after all the Nebraska eNamina-
lions seem to us TO betoken the fact OF
| the failure OF Nebraska education, and we
refuse TO smile at that failure since the
published comparative report gives our own
state Of Minnesota larger degree Of illit-
| eracy than NebTaska's. He who blackens
others does not whiten himself. and he who
smiles at others grammar or rhetoric mer-
Its smile at his own. The mistake out
there on the plains is a double one, but
chiefly the educators are to blame, who
asked such questions Of persons who could
answer such answers. II Is true that law
terms, even the simplest Of them, such as
these were, have very hazy purlieus I'm the
minds Of the majority Of people. II Is not
at all surprising; the law defines these
terms so exactly. and the practice shrouds
them In as much uncertainty as possible
so that the wayfaring man, much more
the Nebraska high school student, may be
excused from any great delinquency II he
does not know their meaning II Is nc
doubt quite time that simple terms, such as
these, should be current speech property
and every man should have enough ele-
mentary law education to keep him out Of
court even out OF the court Of American
mirth. But the laugh or the sheer should
really be on the educators who taught 50
little and expected so much. These answers
were no doubt published In order TO con
tribute to the JOY Of the nation. Hebraska

AN AUTHORS WOES.

w. d. Nesbit in Chicago Tribune.
Ten years ago I took my pen
In hand and wrote thrilling story
or gentle maids and gentlemen.
To which looked for gain and glory.
The publishers expressed their woe
AND said with II they'd take no chances;
Historic tales are all the 60
The markets dull on pure romances."
1 leaped in the historic field;
! wrote a novel fun Of kings
Upon each page the trumpets pealed
And lances clashed. and other things,
Alas! When it was finished I
Was plunged into a paroxysm
OF woe, with; Nowadays they'll BUY Ts
No tale that has no realism"
wrote a realistic tale
Wherein | called a spade a spade
We want the ship, and sea, and gale"
Was the next answer that they made.
straighway wrote around a plot
Which kept my readers on the ocean,
The publishers said: Now. We've got
To strike the David Harum notion"
My next was David Harumish
AND iuli OF sayings wise and quaint;
At any book containing amt"
tried to make my characters,
Though countrihed. be strong and noble;
This word came from the publishers:
!, The fad is for the automobile"
An automobile story next
/ tried to have put into print.
Too late-and then | was perpleNed
I ntl 1 got ,tnlS gentle mint:
THE auto tale has run its course
The stun that catches readers now, boy
Is that which breathes OF life and force
And which for hero has cowboy"
My cowboy novel is begun
And still sit and fume and fret
For fear that ere the book Is done
My hopeful plans will be upset.
I've wasted time and thought and ink
1t fairly drives me to a passion
When look at my work and think
How quickly things go out OF fashion.
