From Monday morning un-
til Friday night the weather
was abnormally cool and OK
tremely dry. The last two
days were very warm, and on
Sunday evening copious show
crs occurred in the Missouri
valley, Sioux City and Omaha
reporting over two inches of
rainfall. Reports from nearly
all stations in the state tell
about the same story of drought
ty conditions and imminent
need of rain to prevent serious
damage to all crops. In the
southern section and western
portion of the central section
the seasonal rainfall has been
less than in other parts of the
state. The dry weather has
been beneficial to the corn crop
affording ideal conditions for
cleaning out the fields and keep
ing the soil in fine filth. The
crop as a whole is notably we'll
needing only normal moisture
in the balance of the season to
insure great yield. The hay
crop has been materially affec-
ted by the drought in all sec
tions and the yield will be
much lighter than in recent
years. Oats, spring wheat and
barley have been somewhat in
jured. Pastures show i'll effects
of dry weather, but are not ma
terially damaged. A general
rain over the state would be of
inestimable value, and the
week closed with indications of
relief from prevalent drvness

a handsome little park in which

Jewish Synagogue of centu-
ry ago is one of the interesting
sights of the city. The builder
of the church was Juda Toura,
and he had more money than
would burn up a wet mule. He
built schools, churches, homes,
&c, for his people, and looked
after the people generally.
Toura street is named after
him. He died in New Orleans,
in 1854, and in his will he had
it so fixed that the sidewalk
along the side of the Cemetery
and Church should be kept in
good condition for all time to
come, and he left g trust fund
for this purpose only. We hope
some Of our rich Missouri VAL

this old Jew and fix it so their
sidewalks will be in good condi-
tion forever.
