From the weather bureau of theUal verslty of Nebraska for week ending March 30: March has been a stormy, windy month, and the amount Of farm work done was less than Is usually accomplished In March. Generally, little has been done, except the cutting of sulks and occasionally some plow ing. In the southern counties some oats have been sown, and In the southern portion of the spring wheat belt a little spring wheat has been sown.

Fall sown grain lived through the winter unusually well. Winter wheat Is In exceptionally good condition and the screage Is almost without exception unusally large, The high winds of the month cauaed some slight damage In western counties. The general and heavy precipitation of the last ten aays turougnout me pori tlon of the State where winter wheat Is grown has Insured sufficient moisture to start the crop. At the end of the month the prospect Is exceedingly favorable for all fall sown grain. Chicago Park Lawn grass seed.

Smalls' Palace Store C. B. E. B. FINCH PERSONAL MENTION.

THE ATTACK ON WEBSTEK. Falsehoods Circulated Through an Anonymous Gutter Snipe. The "Good Government" guttersnipe circulated by unknown persons Saturday night contains this state ment: w. Webster is a newcomer, who has never contributed one cent in taxes to our city. He even re fused to pay his poll tax because a mistake was made in his initials." This is by all odds the smallest campaign dodge the Hub has ever witnessed.

The fact are these: The first year Mr. Webster was in business in Kear ney it was as agent for his brother, O. W. Webster, of Lincoln. He voted in Lincoln in 1899, held his residence there, and paid poll tax there.

The assessor of Kearney property In that year included poll tax in the per sonal assessment against O. W. Web ster In this county. The error was corrected by Treasurer Bodinson, and that was all there was of it. Later the business was purchased and has since been conducted by W.

W. Webster Son, and the assessment runs against them lor liHHJ and lor 1901. So there Is absolutely nothing to the poll tax or personal tax story. Mr. Webster Is both a tax payer and a good citizen.

The attack made upon him is dirty and underhanded and unjustifiable. Dwarf Pearl Tube Rose bulbs three for 10 cents at Green's. At the City Hall To Mght. The "Good Government" gutter snipe announces a grand rally at the city hall tonigbt and says: "There you will learn that there is an issue between the tax payers a represented by the citizens' ticket and the so called republican ticket backed by the water works company." The Hub advises every citizen to attend. There Is nothing that any republican need be afraid of.
