chignons, plaits, false fronts, ETC.. has
hitherto received annually as much as
forty tons Of the treasured merchandise
from the long haired Celestials; and an
ingenious calculation has shown that up

A SHOWER OF PROMISE.
The End Of the Destructive Drought Predicted
In a Cold Rain To.night.


The sprinkliDg of rain which fell yesterday
but served to make the atmosphere more op.
pressiye. BY its detergent effect on the dust
covered leaves 1t produced an apparent good
result on the trees, though this was only super
fetal, as little, IL any, moisture could reach the
roots from such a shower. The signal office
authorities pronounced the rain an ofIshoot
from tho storm which developed in Nebraska
the day before and started In this general
direction. They predict however, a cold
wave from the opposite direction, due here to.
night or tomorrow morning. Then a rainfall
is expected that will amount to something.
The drought Is rapidly destroying the trees
and grass In the city, as 1t is truck and other
dmrm produce In the surrounding country.
There appears to be only one agricultural pro-
duct that this weather agrees with-cotton-
anu that is scarcely local issue here.
Farmers have 10 take cattle four miles aud
more to water in the adjoining states. The
elect on corn and late cabbngcs Is simply
destructive, and the growing crops and fall
wheat will also be n failure unless rain comes
soon and enables the farmers to prepare their
ground before the frost appears.
