on Reports Of Rain

The Burlington's weather and crop re-
port for last week shows that the rains

The rainfall for the week was general
over the state and torrential in some
localities, the gauge at Red Cloud show
ing almost eight inches. A number Of
stations reported q fall of five inches
Two and three inches Of rain was not
unusual In other sections.
The pastures and meadows are In the
best condition in the history Of the state
and cattle are fattening rapidly,
The Northwestern's weather and crop
report for last week shows practically the
same conditions In the territory through
which the lines extend.
Along the Northwestern the cool
weather has retarded the growth Of corn
and has given the cutworms a chance to
work. AS result some replanting has
been done, but on the whole the crop is
said to be in very satisfactory condi-
tion .

IDLEWILD CLUB RAIDED
AND FORTY ARE TAKEN

The Omaha police took two more steps
toward making Omaha highly moral
metropolitan city last night, when they
raided the notorious Idlewild club, 12tl
Douglas street, and the Royal hotel. at
Fifteenth and Dodge. At the Idlewild
club forty persons were arrested and a
large quantity of liquors confiscated, but
the Royal hotel had only few visitors
and no liquor when the police appeared.
At 9:15 o'clock Sergeant Vanous entered
the Idlewild club at the head of a squad
of bluecoats and detectives. In the rear
Sergeant Samuelson controlled a detail,
which prevented any attempts at escape.
Inside crap game and several card
parties were In full swing, breaking up
only when the presence Of the officers
was announced.
The patrol made four trips to the place
and during the time required to clean
out the place nearly 1000 persons gath
cred to see the place closed. Since the
change in the city administration the
Idlewild club has installed an electric
signal device by which unwelcome vis-
itors were announced before they could
get in. For this reason the police could
not gain admittance in time to secure
evidence. and last night was the first
time the proprietors of the place could
be caught mapping. Robert Johnson and
Ole Jackson, proprietors of the place,
were locked up with all of the inmates
and kept in Jail for several hours until
friends came to their rescue with bonds
Sidney Kacher and H. S. Pollock, pro-
prietors of the Royal hotel. were also
released upon bonds
Jackson was discharged in police court
and Bob Johnson was fined SO and costs.
The three white inmates were fined $40
and costs. The thirty-five black inmates
drew IS and costs johnson will appeal
