We were yesterday shown by Mr.. A. A.
HYDE, a plat of the new Merriman park, To-
Gated on the crown of College hill just south
of Douglas avenue. Mr.. Hyde hiss been
engaged with an engineer corps for several
weeks in planning ard laying out this park,
and when its details as to drive-ways, walk
ways, shade and floral appointments. ETC.,
are carried into practical execution, it will
without doubt be the handsomes. piece OF
landscape engineering and gardening in
this country. The plat embraces l6o acres
and is designed for coy suburban resi-
dences as well as convenient and sttrac-
tive retrea. from the din and hustle and
hea; Of the city when the days labors are
ended.
M. Merriman has had this scheme in hi:
minds eve ever since he came here from
Michigan and purchased the tract of land
many month. ago, and has steadfas;ly held
on to it for the purpose mentioned above,
although he has had many tempting offers
for it.

RAINFALL AND DROUTES-

To- the Editor Daily Eagle;
For many years l have felt like giving
YOU my idess about droughts, rainfall, &c,
hardly talk with single man but says,
"Yes, yes, l believe you are right and 1
would like to see test of it made" Well.
To begin | will say tina: there are various
causes for rainfall, but the one in particular
which wish to notice is the disturbing OF
the clements which often brings rainfall,
especially if the conditions are right to pro-
duce rainfall. Many times this spring the
conditions have been right, and yet We have
had very little rain. The "disturbiug"
which l wish to speak about is done by
heavy cannonading, a in battle, or on the
Fourth of July, and over in Canada on the
Queens birthday. In tie eastern part OF the
United States it almost invariably rains on
the Fourth of July. Why? Some will
say, "Ob, only to destroy our good clothef;'
but tell you nay; it is because one Of the
conpitions which in Gods eternal laws has
| baen fulfilled ard rain is the consequence
| How much powder could Wichita and
Sedgwick county afford to burn for good
rainfall st the present time?
Mr.. Editor only wish that l was deeply
| read in the natural sciences and then
would Use technical terms, high sounding
words, SC, but facts, genuine practica
facts, is what is wanted at this time, for
well set drouth is on our hands and pFact

sounding phrases Every old soldier vii
tell YOU at such battle the rain did COM

Wichita snd surrounding country. believe
