Rain Much Above Normal.


The week was cloudy, says the Ne
braska crop report, with about normal
temperature and an excess of rain in
most parts of the state. The daily
mean temperature was between 81 de-
grees and 20 degrees. which. at most
places, was about one degree above
the normal Thursday and Saturday
were the warmest days, with maxi
mum temperatures quite generally
about IS degrees, but in some places
in southwestern counties the tempera'
ture was about five degrees higher.
In nearly all parts of the state the
rainfall was above normal. In most
of the central and eastern counties it
exceeded two inches, while in consid-
cradle areas it ranged from four to
eight inches. Several severe local
storms occurred, accompanied by high
and destructive wind. The total rain
fall from April 1 to date is decidedly
above the normal, except in the south
western counties.

THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
A SLUMP N BANK DEPOSITS
Not Single Bank, However, in Ne

Of Last October.
Banks in Nebraska.

Not q single state bank in Nebraska
went down during the panic last fall,
but Secretary Royse of the state bank
ing board is obliged to report a de-
crease Of $2,5O0.OOO in deposits in one
year and a decrease Of 100000 in
loans. This decrease he attributed
largely to Withdrawals for March set
cheap lands in the newer unsettled
states and in the British possessions.
The reserve is "a per cent, or double
the legal requirement. This indicates
that since last falls stringency people
are showing up and paying their
debts" said Secretary Royse. Those
who remember that the state banks
total deposits in 1896 were only about
$11 100000. as compared with nearly
$63.000,O00 now, are disposed to feel
that Nebraska is more than keeping
pace with the financial progress of the
country.
"A comparison of this report" says
the secretary, with the report Of
February %. 1908, shows a shrinkage
in deposits of little over one mil
lion dollars. and a corresponding de-
crease in loans of neArly half a mil
lion dollars. The number of banks
have increased four. with an increase
of seventy thousand dollars in paid in
capital. Notes and bills re-discounted
and bills payable have been reduced
one hundred and ten thousand dol
lars.
Compared with the report of a year
ago deposits are found to have de-
creased about two and one-half mil
lilo dollars, and loans have decreased
about one million dollars.
"A portion of the decrease in depos-
its, in my opinion, represents unusu-
ally heavy Withdrawals for March set

fering cheap lands.
While decrease in deposits at this
season is unusual. it will be noted that
loans have also been reduced at al
most the same ratio, leaving the
banks with a reserve of "a per cent,
being more than double the legal re-
quirement, and indicating that as a re-
suit of last falls money stringency
people are slowing up and paying their

night, July 81. HOodoos and superst-
tions of any kind mean nothing 10 this
company of players, that has remained
intact for three years. This in itself
is a remarkable thing in the theaterical
world A list of thirty-two plays
make up the companys repertoire OF
productions and these are being con-
stantly added to, so that the Ear
Burgess company stands today the
best equipped in this line of any COM
pany in the country.
The players comprise people espec-
tally adapted to the work, and who
have remained with this organization
during its entire existence. The COM
pany has its own scenic artist and
carries completed equipment for ev-
cry production presented. Nothing is
left undone, and no detail is lacking
to make a complete and project per-
Torrance.
Miss Anderson, the leading woman
of the organization. is an actress of
personality, charm and magnetism and
has already won a splendid reputation
in the theatrical world. The opening
play - ill be that most successful of all
American melodramas, Queen of the
White Slaves" No play in recent
years has been such a money getter
as this well-known success. A large
corps of extra people have already
been engaged TO add the local color
to the scenes, and the production
promises to be the most novel of any
seen here. Tuesday nights offering
will be that powerful society drama
by Mark Swan. entitled 1.-THE Unwrit-
ten Law" The first weeks plays will
also include Darkest Russia THE
Gypsy Girl" king Of the Desert" THE
Whole Dam Family" and Tracked
Around the World"
A list of vaudeville numbers is given
between acts that will prove clean,
bright and particularly up to date.
The engagement win certainly clear
the Olympic of its absurd hoodoo for
ever.

DAILY PUNISHMENT
OF THE DOG CATCHER
Bryan Describes the Horrors of a
Week in Jail.

The dog catcher appeared at the
city hall yesterday afternoon after a
period of seven days sequestration in
the county Jail. He bore a look Of
pain on his face but he confided that
that was not really where the pain
was. He related a story of cruelty
in regular installments. He said that
during his confinement in the county
jail, he had been kangarooed every
morning and had received twenty-five
applications of the "cob." The result
was that he had hated to see morning
come for the operation every day was
a little more painful than II had been
the day before.
His STORY of his mistreatment ex-
cited a great deal of sympathy about
the city hall.tand it was decided to
bring the matter to the attention Of
the sheriff's office in order that judi
cial reforms may be instituted in the
kangaroo court. Such things are apt
to take place without the knowledge
of the authorities The use of the
cob" is understood and it is admitted
that exercise within reason goes far
toward preserving discipline in the
jail. 1t has not been understood hith-
ertO that the kangaroo court exceeds
its authority but in the case of Bryan
it appears to have done so. He was
kangaroOed a couple of weeks ago when
he was thrown into Jail on suspicion
and two or three days later he was

DESTRUCTIVE STORM
AT Aqua CALIENTf
Hotel Modesti Unroofed and Its Con-
tents Battered by Hail Stones and
Soaked With Rain.

| Water Lund, one of the proprietors
of the Hotel Modesti at Aqua Caliente
Hot Springs, arrived in Phoenix yes
terday for the purpose of employing
all the contractors in town VINO were
not working and buying up all the
building supplies west of the Rocky
mountains that have not been sold in
advance. His purpose is not so much
to secure control of the building trades
as to repair the damage done to the

a wind and rain storm of almost cy-
clonic force. that ripped off the iron
roof. tore down all the porches, dam

on Mr.. Lund however for he was at

besides he never sins anyway. or if he
does he never lets anybody catch him
at it.

new bedding was still piled in the lin

the dull season at the springs and
there were but few people stopping at
the hotel most of the guests having
