PLENTY OF RAIN ALL OVER
Moisture Comes In Abundance to
Sections that We're Dry on
the Darlington.

The Burlington's soil and crop report
for the Nebraska district for the week
ending August II shows rain was general
places heavy. The dry places referred to
in former reports have been we'll wet
down and there is no place in the district
today where soil is not In good condition.
Threshing OF winter wheat was inter-
rupted somewhat during the week by rain,
has been practically completed except the
grain which has been placed in the stack.
Stacked grain will be threshed any time
between now and winter. The excellent
condition of the soil has stimulated to
some extent blowing for the 1907 crop and
1t is in some parts Of the district well
under way.
Corn has done remarkably well during
the seven days covered by this report and
nothing is said in reports to indicate I'M
favorable conditions; in fact, the condi-
lions are so favorable that those who in
sist upon finding fault are driven to the
extremity of falling back on the predic-
ton of an early frost.
Potatoes are yielding well.
Pastures generally are in good shape and
producing ample feed for stock. In many
places the third crop of alfalfa Is growing
and looking exceedingly well; in other
places the second crop has not yet been
cut
Peaches are yielding much better than
was anticipated. Prospects are excellent
for good apple crop.

FUND TO FINISH AUDITORIUM
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars t. the
Estimate of John Latenser,
Architect.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was the es-
Innate made by John Latenser Tuesday fol-
the Auditorium board OF directors Of the
amount which will be required to complete
the Auditorium. This was about what was
expected, and a meeting of the board will
be called within the next few days for the
purpose of authorizing the issue of the
bonds to cover this amount and the float
ing debt of the Auditorium. the latter about
$4,000 Then the sale of the bonds will be
pushed rapidly, and IT is expected TO dis
pose of them In a week after the active
campaign is begun. a number of promises
having already been secured on the part
Of business men to take big blocks OF
bonds
Mr.. Latenser's estimate does not cover
the cost of stone colonnades which are to
be placed at the north and west sides of
the building Fred Nash. chairman of
the board OF directors. has another plan
for securing these. and they viii not be
considered at present. as they are merely
ornamental. and the building can be fin-
ished without them, so far as all practical
uses are concerned.

e. Becker for S16,5Oo two lots at the north
east corner OF Eleventh and Jackson streets.
This piece of property, which is 132 feet
square, and which is described as lots 8

ago and has been rented to the market
gardeners who bring their produce to

All this time II has been the purpose of
the company to buy the corner, but owing
to the fact that 1t was a part OF the Linton

two ago and has finally secured a clear
title TO them, IN turn selling to the market

NO COWBOYS FOR NEBRASKA
wild West TrappinEs VIII Not Dis
tinguish Delegation to
Meet Bryan.

Mayor Dahiman says that the weird yarn
about the Nebraska delegation to meet
Bryan in New York marching down
Broadway in chaps and six-shooters is all
rot. He has proposed that each delegate
wear a light Stetson cowboy hat, and he
is inclined to the opinion that It might
make old Father Knickerbocker. sit up and
teke notice to have a genuine Commercial
club parade, with big red and white UNI
brellas and the tinkling cow-bells. This
proposition appeals to his honor as more
feasible and not quite so devilish as
the wild west vision of Dave O'Brien. and
he intends to see what can be done to-
wards carrying 1t out. OF course each
umbrella would have an Inscription about
Omaha, the market Town." or something
like IL: the cow-bells would ring for the
Antelope state and the metropolis, and
the distribution of souvenirs would be as
lavish as at Belle Fourche. or any other
place visited by the Commercial clubs
excursion trains.
