THAT RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT.

That rain Sunday night was queer me-
neurological job, anyway. \ little black
cloud, of circumscribed limits, eliminated
of unknown moistures, hung high in the
heavens, right over the center of the city,
with the moon shining brightly on one
side and Mars upon the other, and stars
all around, and poured down rain for a
half hour or more with all the vehemence
of Daisy sprinkler. 1t fell only where it
was not particularly needed and didn't
touch where it was prayed for. 1t reached
north to Oak and south to Lincoln, west to
Garfield and east to the top of College
Hill However much of success it may
have been as a rain, it was failure for
crop purposes.

MORE ABOUT CORN,

1t don't rain, or only in spots, but in
spite of all predictions to the contrary a
large per cent of the corn refuses to curl
up, fire and die Not a day passes hardly
that specimen ears of splendid corn are
not laid on our table, ears of corn that are
made, or matured beyond the reach OF
drouth or anything else. We say it don't
rain. 1t don't very much. 1t Is awful
spotted and very irregular, ten acre field
catching a shower here and a township
getting a soaking there. But in the alb
sence of general rains and even if there
should be no more there will be good
deal of corn in Sedgwick county. City
Treasurer Trockmorton laid on our table
yesterday several magnificent ears of fully
matured corn pulled from farm belong
ing TO T. l.. Throckmorton, his father,
which farm is situated between the two
rivers four miles above town. The field
from which this splendid corn was pulled
contains forty acres, and although it will
not go as much to the acre as it would had
there been plenty of rain, it will make a
good Weld

A Dry Niagara.


II seems almost incredhle that at ono
time in its history the gneatsst and mosa
wonderful waterfall in the worlsastually
ran dry. Nevertheless it is an established
fact that this occurred on March -, issS
and for a few hours scarcely any water
passed over Niagara falls.
To thoE0ughly appreciate this astonish-
ing phenomenon It should be remembered
that the estimated average amount ct
water passing over these falls Is JOe, 500 tona
per minute.
The wigterof that year had BEEN an elc>
copfionaliy severe one, aud ice 81 unusual
thickness had formed on Lake Erie Thu
warm spring rains looseued tins c0ngealed
mass, and on the day in QUESTION a brisk
east wind drove the ice far mp into the lake.
About sunset the wind suddenly vecred
around and blew a heavy gale from the
west. This naturally turned the ioe in is
course, and bringing it'down 70 the mouth
Of Niagara river piled it up in a solid. inn
peretrable wall.
So closely was it packed and so great was
its force that in a short time the outlet 10
the lake was completely choked up. and
little or no water could posSibiy escape. Ia
a very short space Of time the water beloss
this frozen barrier passed over the falls,
and the next morning the people residing
in the neighborhood were treated 10 most
extraordinary spectacle.
The roaring. tumbling rapids above tho
falls were almost obliterated, and nothing
but the cold black rocks were visible In all
directions, The news qaifsiy sprsad anl
crowds Of spectators locked TO view tbo
scene, the banks on each SIDE OF the river
being lined with people dpEing tbs whole
day At last there came break IN tho
Ice, it was released from its restraint, tbs
pent up wall of waters rushed downward

family have the sincere sympathy of sor-
rowing community. A most lovely life
has come TO an end. In the brief time of
her residence in this city she endeared her
self to many and the recollection of her en-
gaging manners will be ever fresh in the
memory of all The following from the
Ell Paso Times is the account of the acct
dent:
One of the saddest accidents that ever
occurred in Ell PaSo cast the gloom of sor-
row over our entire community yesterday
morning. Mrs Leyeth started out for
buggy ride, driving w NJ James horse.
She was accompanied by Mrs L. II. Conk-
lin While crossing the railroad track on
Mesa avenue. the horse became unmanage-
able and dashed off down the street to-
wards San Antonio street. Mrs. Leith,
who held the rains, was delicate Lady
and could no more control the wild animal
than if she were a child. The horse, going
at terrific speed, dashed across San An
tonic street as if going straight into the
custom house, but when arriving immedi-
ately in front OF the place made an abrupt
wheel, lifting the buggy fairly off the
ground. The movement was so swift and
abrupt that the occupants were thrown
with great violence to the sidewalk. Mrs.
Leyeth fell on the side of her head and
shoulder, and lay white and motiOnless.
Mrs Conklin, who had her left arm broken
and was painfully bruised, raised to her
knees and was assisted to her feet by John
L. Brinck. Tom O'Keefe, of the Times,
was the first person to reach Mrs. Leyeth's
side, and raised her head to rest on his
arm The white face and closed eyes told
him that the lady had either tainted or
was dead. Laying her head back to the
pavement he rushed across the street for
water. A crowd quickly gathered and
every effort was made to bring the lady
back to consciousness, but all in vain She
was carried into the custom house and Drs.
Villas and Johnson called to her side, but
she expired in few minutes without re-
covering consciousness. 1t is supposed
that death resulted from the dislocation Of
her neck and from internal injuries, as
blood oozed from her mouth and ears.

yesterday in the city looking it over in the

in Kansas of equal promise, that Wichita

as sure of making a great central CONNER

inhabit southern Kansas and the Indian
