Weather Favorable for Crops and Corn
Planting Progressing Favorably.
Lincoln, May 24.-COrn planting
advanced rapidly and is nearly fin
ished, except in the western and
northwestern counties, where 1t Is
a:out half completed. Much replant-
ing is necessary on account of the
damage caused by the heavy rains Of
the previous week. In the southern
counties corn Is coming up.
All small grain made good growth.
Wheat is in fine condition and is be-
ginning to head in southern and Ger.
trail counties. Oats Is still reported
thin in places. Potatoes are coming
up and look well. Alfalfa is in good
condition and Is almost ready to cut
in southeastern counties. Grass has
made good growth and pastures con-
tinue good. Strawberries %ripening in
southeastern and are in bloom in
northeastern counties. Cherries and
apples promise good yields.
How starhsh Are Killed.
1t has been stated that the oysters
deadly enemy, the starfish, has been
most successfully subdued in the Long
Island beds by putting down within Its
reach an instrument very much like a
long handled house mop. AS soon as
touched by it the startsh invariably
grasps the strands and can be cap
tured and destroyed by the thousand,
for 1t will not let go until 1t has been
held out OF water long enough to Sc
cure the impossibility OF its return.

 T won't if can help it." she replied. as she tried to get flrmer hold with her feet
 But fate is fate," he continued. "If it was written in your book of fate that on this day and date you were going to go down with bang, noth- ing can save you-not even sand or ashes. You must turn to philosophy to solace you"
 What has philosophy got to do with slippery footpaths?"
 Much, madam. In the first place. be resigned to fall; in the next, pre- pare to fall as lightly as possible; thirdly"
 "Stop your talking" interrupted the woman, as one of her feet got away from her.
 Thirdly, madam" continued the philosopher as he refused to take her extended hand. having made up your mind whether you will fall or not"
 She gave lurch and caught his arm. relates London Tit-Bits, and both went down with a heavy jar. He rose first, and, picking up his hat and helping her to her feet, he bowed and continued: ..-..

"OuT OF THE FOLD.

Helen Gray, the heroine of Out of the Fold" which, plays at Polis to- night, is a woman with past who goes to little country town to begin life anew. Some of the narrow-mind- ed residents frown on her because she is a stranger. Nolan Crane, the vil- lage school master, befriends her and later they become sweethearts. John Lathrop,, a college bred young man, is struck by the beauty of the hero inc and tries to win her love. and failing, threatens to disclose her past to Crane, but efforts to separate the lovers are futile. Throughout the play the author has woven in number of humorous characters that are true to life, and these with the pathetic scenes, appeal to both the sympatlles and the humorous senses of the audi ence. Prices are p, B and 50 cents.

"BIG SENSATION COMPANY"

The name of the company playing at Polls theater last evening was mis- homer. A more appropriate name would have been "A Company of Vul- garity" and added to this might be another very apt title "A Company of Barn Stormers." Ut was shame to take the mGney" was the general con- ment of those who allowed their pock- cts to be picked, for that was just about what it amounted to, in the case of those who put up their good wealth to see this wonderful" panorama of chestnutty jokes and undlsguised con- cert hall slush. There was not q re- deeming feature in the whole business and it's continuation on any public stage should be prevented by those in- terested in good entertainments even if they have to call in the sanitary in- spectOrs.
