 picked up his tent at 6:30 and skid dooed out of town after advertising to give us another performance ln the evening? We'll. poor Bill" as great a man as he is, must take his bumps once in a while and he got them the day before he arrived here.
 We heard the buffalo got at the cof- fee and ate it all, and the men could not find the grounds. That was good joke. But we hear when the canvas men told Bill their pay ($3 per week and grub was too small, he couldn't see the point and they struck. But that was carrying the joke too far, and when he offered more pay they said his money was ''tainted' because 'taint' enough.
 That settled it and he couldn't do as he advertised. We'll, last week we couldn't do as we advertised. We only had half enough of those butter crooks to satisfy our trade, but we'll see you later about them.

ANOTHER WELCOME RAIN
SHOWER IN THE NIGHT MELTED
SO INCH MOISTURE.
NORFOLK AS A SUMMER RESORT

Maximum Heat Yesterday Amounted
to 81, the Minimum 62-This Part
of Nations Grain Field viii Help
Supply other Countries.
Another soaking rain fell in the vi.
cinity of Norfolk during the night, add.
ing more than a third of an inch to
the weeks moisture. Morning came
with threatening skies and at o'clock
another heavy shower was expected
but the storm sailed away to the south
east without dropping any raindrops.
Total rainfall for the night amounted
to SO of an inch, bringing up the total
since Saturday night to 2.52 inches.
While the three rains since Satur-
day have brought some declarations
that there "has been too much rain, "
those who remember prayers that went
up in May for just a little rainwater
are uttering no word of complaint and
are only thanking a kind fate for
sprinkling this part of the nations
granary so abundantly that the coming
harvest will be one of the most pros
porous for years. Every farmer is
eagerly watching the grain markets
realizing that the shortage abroad is
going to make the grain raised here
a precious commodity. According tC
reports of the agricultural department
England, Germany and France are fac
| ing short crops and the worlds wheat
yield will be about 300,000,000 bushels
under normal.
The result is that each passing rain
on serious consideration, is worth
many more dollars than usual to north
Nebraska and the Rosebud.
| Along with the rains has come ar
atmosphere which would justify Nor
folk in setting up claims as a summer
resort. Yesterday the maximum heat
