RAINS COMING.

Our rainy season has commenced in
earnest. The SHOWS OF the Rocky Noun,
tains have been pouring down upon us in
coPsous showers. Our reports from that
region estimate the accumulation of snow
equal to that OF last year-that gave us the
unprecedented flood. Last year We gave
warning of what was coming, basing our
forecast on conditions that thus existed in
the mountains. Indications now point to a
superabundance Of rain this summer.

Stop Croaki ing and Prepare for n BIG
Harvest.

Stop that croaking. 1t Is wrong, il is
wickedly wrong, to persist in predicting
evil to the growing crops in this goodly
land. What though the genial showers dc
not fall as frequently a. We III our feeble
Judgment would wish, shall we fold our
arms and predict failure and famine No
Let the husbandman be diligent in seed
time, cheerfully laboring in season, and the
harvest will come in due time. Within the
past ten days We have heard numerous pre-
dictions OF short crops, light harvest and
impending disaster. Let Us see. We pass
ed through the State the other day to the
Missouri river, and "all along the line,
especially in our fertile valley, the pros
poets were not only promising but astonlsh-
ing. Vast areas OF wheat, gracefully waving
in the free prairie breezes, more thrifty
than ever before. Nothing short OF an un-
forseen calamity can prevent the approach
ing harvest throughout the State from ex-
ceding. by fifty per cent, that Of any pre-
cedinc year. The county of Reno, within
one hundred miles Of US has sixty thousand
acres that will be mostly harvested within
thirty days. Rice, Barton, Pratt and Paw
nee will each have an abundant arrest.
The same Is true in the Raw Valley. A
prominent wheat raiser of.Saline county
Informed us at Topeka that his county
would produce sufiiciency this year To-
feed the State until another harvest. All
other crops are promising most hopeful
harvests. Then why this murmuring and
croaking? Whilst Illinois, Iowa and 9th
er States have had food and mud all the
season, we have not had, perhaps sufli
cheney Of rain, and yet there il no indica-
ton Of drouth. IL any OF our grain has
suffered the fault il attributable more To
the Careless manner Of the planting than 10
the season. The fall or winter wheat in
our own county is doing we'll, and will
yield abundantly az rule, and our faith
IN an abundant harvest generally il abid
ing. We have had as much rain "a We
could reasonably have expected, until a
larger area of our vast prairies are brought
into cultivation. The history Of the conn
ties east OF us will be our history. Almost
in proportion to the increase in the area
cultivated is the increase Of moisture pre-
cipitated. Be industrious and hope for a
harvest.

Alleged Poisoning ut Reform school

The most important subject brought to the
attention of the board of trustees at their reg
uIar monthly meeting, at the Reform School,
yesterday, was that Of tho reported poisoning
of a number of the inmates. All tho members
were present, and the matter was most care
fully investigated by them so far as lay in
their power. The board set to work to find out
what the boys had eaten to produce such revo-
luton, but totally failed to ascertain anything
that would bring about such result. But spec
ulatons werG rife, as Is usual tho most prom.
imcnt being that the boys had partaken Of for.
on the usual diet. Tho boys are now safe and
about, and there Is 10 longer cause for alarm.
The board decided to analyzo the subject
through the medium of science. and directed
the physician to the school to make an imme-
diste examination and report.

The Inspector of Buildings has transmitted
a communication to the District Commission
ers, in which he states that, In view Of the di-
versity Of opinion existing as to the obliga-
tions of owners of buildings with reference to
property adjoining their premises, and in the
absence Of well.dehnod law on tho subject, he
asks Instructions on the following points: " In
excavating below an adjoining building, which
party shall take care OF and underpin tho wall
endangered, taking into consideration its To-
cality, as, for instance, wall properly located,
half over the line, as required by law for party
walls or as to wall being built up to and not
over the line Also as to wall being fow
inches or a few feet FROM tho line." The
courts have made number OF decisions in such
cases, and the District Attorney has been re-
qucsted to furnish abstracts Of the same or
reference thereto for the information OF the
Commissioners before preparing instruction;

Mr.. Lancaster should Have tho Money.


Some time ago Mr.. Edward Lancaster found
q glove on the sidewalk containing SIP and u
few cents. which no delivered to police OIL
Ger, and 1t subsequently, fell into the hands OF
the property clerk. No owner appearing to
claim II, Mr.. Lancaster asked that 1t be ro.
turned to him, but tho property clerk refused,
asserting that a. the owner hsd not been found
the money belonged to the United States. The
matter was finally referred TO Assistant District
Attorney Miller for an opinion on tho subject,
aud he reports that he thinks Mr.. Lancaster Is
entitled to the possession of the money after
proper advertisement. Tho property clerk is
only eutitcd to retain any property that comes
into his hands In the absence Of lawful
claimant" Lancaster, having found the
money, was, as against every one cS.
cepting the owner, entitled to retain. and
| IL the police authorities havo failed 10 ascer'
tain tho owner, after proper effort, he Is en-

such cases Is erroneous. Whom lost property

should advertise Immediately throo times, and
