NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS.
Apple Prospects Are Bright, Cherries
Less Favorable.

Lincoln, May 10.-The cool and gen.
orally wet weather of the past week
has been favorable for wheat and rye
and they continue in excellent condi.
ton. Oats have grown fairly well.
but the stand is somewhat thin in
places. Rain would be beneficial to
all grain and grass in southeastern
counties. Grass continues to grow
slowly.
Some progress was made with corn
planting in southern and southeastern
counties. In most Of the state very
little corn was planted during the
week, Apple trees are in full bloom
and promise a good crop. Cherry
trees are blooming less full and were
probably damaged some by the frosts
early in the season. Frost and low
temperature this week damaged fruit
In northwestern counties. Strawber,
ries are in bloom in southeastern
counties and promise a full crop.

pccu1jnrfties of Ltchens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives, there being good
grounds for believing that they endure
as long rs Il hundred years. Their
growth is exceedingly slow, almost be-
yond belief. indicating that only n little
nourishment Is necessary to keep them
alive. In a dry time they have the pow
er to suspend growth altogether. rcNcw'
ing 1t again ut the fall of rain. This
popularity alone is enough to make the
lichen a vegetable wonder. as it Is a
property possessed by no other species
Of plant. Another interesting fact about
lichens is that they grow only where
the air Is free from dust and smoke
They may be said to be n sure indica
tion Of the purity of the air, as they are
never found growing in cities and
towns, where the atmosphere is impreg-
mated with dust, SCOT, smoke and other

were LATER ARRESTED.

PLEADED GUILTY TO CHARGE.
Police Are investigating the Matter
Using This Arrest as
a Clue.

By the arrest of two South Am
boy young men yesterday on
charges of stealing iron from the
steamer Magenta the police believe
they have a clue as to who set fire
to the Gregory boats. Both prisoners
pleaded guilty to stealing iron this
morning, when arraigned before Re-
corder Pickergill, and were held un-
der $500 bonds each for the grand
jury. They are Sidney Bloodgood.
twenty-five years old, and William
Leonard, nineteen years old.
Yesterday morning Patr0lman
Whitworth, of the local force, went
up the river in his boat to try to get
some light on the cause of the burn
ing of the Margenta Sunday morning.
AS his skiff approached he discov-
cred two men taking something from
the boat. He gave chase and saw
that they had iron in their boat. They
escaped to the shore, abandoning
their craft with its booty. Whitworth
had not recognized the fellows, but
he found out who they were by hav-
ing some persons in South Amboy
identify their boat. Warrants were
issued for the arrest of Bloodgood
and Leonard and they were arrested
in Hobart street, this city, by Pat
rolman McDermott at 1.30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
These two are declared to have
been seen aboard the Margenta be-
fore the fire Sunday morning and it's
believed by the authorities that they
may know something about 1t or Its
cause. A further Investigation Is be-
ing made.
Bloodgood and Leonard both fur
