Nebraska Crops Forecast and a Humble Warning
The piece predicts a magnificent Nebraska corn crop in 1880 with praise for corn prospects and cautions against eastern doubters. It contrasts weak wheat in Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois and recalls a humorous anecdote about a Teuton’s hog and blood pudding, followed by a critique of sensational personal injury submissions to local papers.

Lightning Strikes House in Grand Island Storm
A brilliant bolt at two o clock in the morning struck the Lederman home in Grand Island. It split along a roof rod and descended through the bay window and kitchen tin roof, tearing plaster, damaging coal oil, weatherboards, and bricks, then vanished through a 40 foot tunnel into the earth. No injuries were reported though residents nearby received shocks.
