SILVER CREEK, Neb., May 27.—(Special.) ~—Roy Page, who Is being held by the Omaha police for horse stealing, appears to have beeh contemplating a much larger crime in this locality. Some weeks ago there stepped Into the | Times printing office of this place a young |man who gave his name as Roy Page and iwho asked the cost of baving printed a |single copy of a letter which he presented for inspection to W. M. Hutt, editor of the Times. The letter read as follows COLUMBUS, Neb., May 5.—Mr. W { Chamberlain Sir—I will write you a few | lines relative to this land of Roy Page's, it which 1 gave him December 17, i%1, as a birthday present, he being 21 years of age. He is my nephew, my sister's son, and he has a right to do ‘what he wishes with farm which I gave him, which far four and a half miles northeast of Qacela, section 12, range 2, Canada precinct, town- ship 4. The farm was bought from Mr McBeth and is_all clear, good improve- ments, house, barn, granary, windmill and two pumps. 1 did make out a deed for Roy, but he | lost it and wrote me to that effect, so I have written this letter, as it will answer the same purpose. Yours truly, JOSEPH MYERS, MRS, JOSEPH MYERS. The W. Chamberlain to whom the letter is addressed is the cashler of the Merrick County bank at Clarks, and Page's inten- tione, it on the land referred to In the letter, but on which he had no rightful claim. The sig- natures are believed to be bogus. Page evidently got frightened out of his intended swindle at Clarks, for he never re- |turned to the Times office for the printed or the original copy of his letter.

CORN PLANTING SOMEWHAT INTERRUPTED in Portions of diana and Michigan. WASHINGTON, May 27.—The Weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop conditions 1s as follows The week ending May 26 was one of highly favorable temperature conditions in all dis tricts east of the Rocky mountains, with abundant rainfall over the greater portion of the central valleys, lake region and mid- dle Atlanti: states. Drouth conditions in the Ohio valley have been effectually relieved except in southern Tilinois, and while oartially broken over the greater part of the middle and South At- lantic states, more rain was needed at the close of the week in those districts. Rain is much needed in Tennessee, over the sorthern portions of Mississippl and Ala- bama and in central and southern Florida xcessively heavy rains retarded work and cavsed some damage by washing and over- flows in the lake region in the states of the Ohlo and lower Missouri valleys. Corn Planting is Iniecrupted. On the Pacific coast the first part of the the week was too cold in Washington and Oregon, but more favorable conditions pre- vailed during the latter part in California. With the exception of drying winds the week, though cooler than usual, was gener- ally favorable. Heavy frosts occurred on the 19th and 20th in the middle and south- erf Rocky Mountaln districts, causing con- siderable damage. Heavy rains have Interrupted corn plant- ing over extensive areas in the Missouri, upper Mississippi and Ohlo valleys and lake regions, in portions of which districts much replanting will be necessary as a result of overflows and washed lands. The early planted corn has made good growth throughout the central valleys, but is suff- fering for cultivation in the lower middle valley. In the southern states the crop has made good progress and much of the early planted has been laid by. ‘Wheat Condition Improved. An improvement in the condition of win- ter wheat is reported from Nebraska, Kan- sas, portions of Illinots, and in Indiana and Michigan. It is in fine condition in Mis- souri, except in a few southeastern coun- tles. The reports from Tennessee, Ken- tucky, Ohfo, the middle South Atlantic and east gulf states show that the crop is heading low and indicate very light yields. Harvesting continues in Texas and will soon begin In Arkansas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas. On the Pacific coast the outlook continues favorable, except in southern California; the crop is, however, reported as unusually weedy in Oregon. In Cali- fornia winter wheat is ripening rapidly, and harvest will soon begin in the San Joaquin valley. Early spring wheat has made rapid growth and that later sown is coming up well. Seeding is practically finished. Oats Outlook Not Good. In the middle, south Atlantic and east gulf states and portions of the Ohio valley the outlook for oats is not promising, but ’man: favorable conditions are reported from the Missouri and upper Mississippl valleys and the lake region. Harvesting 1s in in the central and west gulf Few Adverse Cotton Reports. But few adverse reports respecting cot- ton are received. In portions of Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama the crop is getting grassy and boll weavel are increas- ing in southern Texas. Generally through- out the cotton belt, however, flelds are clean and the crop has made good growth. Conditions Favorable for Tobacco. Recent rains in the Ohio valley, Tennes- see and the middle Atlantic states have put the soll in favorable condition for trans- planting tobacco, which work is well ad- vanced In these districts. In the Carolinas stands are irtegular and insects destruc- tive. Plants are generally plentiful except in central and eastern Kentucky, but are overgrown in portions of Virginia and Ten- nessee, Frult Prospect Less Encouraging. Orchards have sustained some damage by local storms in the Ohlo valley and on the whole the general fruit outlook is less en- couraging than earlier in the season. Peaches are dropping extensively in the middle and south Rtlantic states. NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS Week Warm and Wet and Very Fa- vorable for the Growth of All Crops. United States Department of Agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Nebraska section, for the week ending May 26: The last week has been warm and show- ery.

Following is the report of the lowa weather bureau for the week ending May 26, 1902: The week was warm and showery. The age daily excess of temperature was from 8 to 10 degrees. Fully three- fourths of the state received a very large excess of rainfall, the smallest amounts being reported from stations in the porth- western counties. In pumerous localities showers fell every working day of the week. The heaviest downpours occurred in the northeast district, causing extensive dam- age to bridges and to crops on slopes and low lands.

HUMBOLDT, Neb.,, May 2 Considerable excitement bas pri this section thie morning over fled in the mys terfous disappearance of the wife of Thomas | Maxwell, &« farmer living a short distance southeast of the city. Officers in the surrounding towns were notified to keep a watch for her and a searching party was at once formed In the neighborhood to seek through the im- mediate vicinity and drag the streams.

The husband of the dead woman much affected at the time of the finding of the body and was with dif- culty restralned from leaping into water and taking his own life The woman has been in poor health for | the last year and during the last six weeks her illness seemed to prey. upon her mind to such an extent as to cause her husband and friends much uneasiness. From her actions her husband thought it unsafe to leave her alone and has therefore been with her constantly. Some time during Monday night Mrs: Maxwell had a bad spell and the husband was up with her most of the night. Toward morning he dozed off for & short time and awakened to find her missing. A search of the bouse and premises failed to reveal | a trace of the missing woman and the fact that she had taken but few was apparently in possesslon of a bottle of carbolic acid, which was gone from the shelf, caused much fear for her safety. About noon a portion of her clothing was found on the bank of the Nemaha, near the Skalak bridge, and to the wearing apparel was pinned a note In which she bade koodby to her Hisband and family, Mr. Maxwell has been a resident of this section for a number of years and the tamily coneists of three children, the young: est of which is 11 years of age. He is a renter and lives on the farm of Jerome Wiltse. Mrs. Maxwell was a woman of about 45 | years.
