mELBoURNE's SECRET.
He Has Told II to a Kansas Stock
Company.

A dispatch from Goodland, Ks, gives
this interesting information: During Mr..
Melbourne's stay in Goodland, after
much argument and work, a contract was
entered into between Mr.. Melbourne and
the company, whereby the company was
to be told the secret, furnished with a
machine and allowed to operate in any
part OF the country. The company is
called tie Interstate Artificial Rain COM
pany. The capital stock is placed at
800, 900 which is divided into 1000
shares OF 800 each. The home Office
will be at Goodland. and operations will
be conducted wherever the company may
see fit.
The test whish began here Saturday,
the 10th, and while supposed to have
been made by Melbourne, was made by
E. f. Murphy and o. FL. Smith, under
Melbourne's instructions. The same gen.
tlemen made another test commencing
last Friday morning at 3 O'Clock. The
sky was perfectly clear at the time, but by
noon they had the same kind of clouds
that Melbourne had made. aud about 6
o'clock a slight shower fell for a few min
utes, and would no doubt have turned in
to a heavy rain had not a stiff breeze
sprung up from the northwest and drove
the clouds away. However, there was
rain at Edison and Shermanville.
The company is very sanguine in regard
to their success and claim that it will be
all right in warm weather. when we most
need rain. Mr.. Murphy, who gives the
information, says that now that the pro-
cess has been explained to him, he can
readily see why Melbourne made a failure
OF his tests here, and that it was easily
seen that the cold nights and high winds
we're the cause. He further states that
there Is no question of the success of the
method IN warm. still weather, and espe-
cially when the nights are warm.
The charter of the company was filed at
Topeka Monday by A. b. Montgomery.
The profits of the company will accrue
from contracts made to produce rain in
different localities charging so much for
a rain and it is their expectation to make
a big thing out of it. The members oil
the company are silent on the terms they
have agreed on with Melbourne or as to
how much was paid, but as this does noi
interest the people it is of no concern SC
long as we get the rain and the crops.
The experiments cost between $50 and
SIS and the process is very simple.
On account of the cold nights here the
company intend to make a test case in the
South. Tho first test will probably be
made in the Indian territory and then
they will 20 on to Galveston, Texas. Yes

The searres win Contest.

SALEM, Mass, Oct. %. AFTER reading
letters, Mr.. Burnley asked for the journal
kept by Mrs. Searles while abroad. and it
was given him for examination. Mr..
Burley then called for all books of &C
counts of the copartnership. Mr.. Butler
objected, and Burnley finally called Mr..
Searles and Intercepted him in regard to
the books, but the witness stated that he
did not know anything as to the contents
OF the books. The letters signed per
E. L." were written bp Edith Littleield,
who did some writing tor him. The wit
ness did not know where the suggestion
came from to drop Timothy Hopkins
name from the executors of Mrs. Searles'
codicil of June IS, 1888. The witness
never knew a physician by the name OF
Hayward, and never attended lectures on
mesmerism or made 1t a study. He
thought there were copies kept OF some
letters sent to Mrs. Timothy Hopkins by
Mrs. Searles.
Mr.. Searles had not had any direct cor
respondence with Timothy since his mar
rage. Mr.. Stillman visited Methuen
about a week before the execution of the
last will by request of Mrs. Searles and
through the witness. His coming had
nothing to do with the information that
Timothy was about to start East. The
witness would not say whether he gave
any directions as to his will at that time,
but believed he did. When Timothy ar
rived witness had already made arrange
ments to go away, but delayed in order to
welcome him, and witness then told Tim.
othy that he had to go to Carriugton to
look after work there, and went. The
witness learned that Timothy had man
aged his mothers affairs for a number of
years, but never heard any discussion as
to whether he had received compensation
or not. There was no secrecy about the
copartnership. He had never heard his
wife between June l and July l6, 1888.
express any wish as to the disposition of

1T TO SILVER.
Secretary Foster Takes Up the
the Issue in Ohio.
An Indication of How the Ad-
ministration Stands.
The Omaha Congress Favors the
American Product.
Secretary Fosters Speech.

FINDLAY, O., Oct. 22.-Secretary of
the Treasury Foster made his first speech
for the Republicans in the Ohio cam-
paign at the wigwan in this city tonight.
About 5000 people listened to the speech
and frequently interrupted the secretary
with vociferous cheering. The secretary
devoted some time to the Democratic ger
~rymanders of the various states and par
t~icularly to their scheme newly introduced
in Michigan to elect presidential electors
by congressional districts. If successful
in Iowa, Ohio and New York this fall
they will introduce the same plan in those
states. Thus, although those states give
a Republican majority. two-thirds OF he
electors would be Democrats. Thus the
solid South and Tammany hall, although
largely in the minority, would rule the
country under the forms of law. How
long could free institutions endure this?
The secretary devoted much attention
to the dangers of the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver. His Investigations lead
him to believe there Is in European coun-
tries more than 5000, 000. 900 of silver, to
say nothing of the boards IN Mexico and
South America that would come to this
country the moment we are ready to pay
$l.20 per ounce for 1t. We could not
maintain ourselves against such an enor-
nous strain and would soon be placed by
the side OF Mexico and the Asiatic coun-
tries, with the currency huctuating in
value and with an ever increasing down
ward tendency Let no one delude him
self into the belief that the world would
not deluge us wllh silver. The secretary
said the Republican party has, in his
opinion, gone as far as prudence will per
NIT in the matter of silver legislation. He
has made in a quiet wav a careful Inves-
tIgation of the feeling of foreign countries
upon the subject of an international
agreement between them and our country,
by which gold and silver upon some ac-
ceptable basis can be maintained at a
parity.
THE success of the Democratic party
in Ohio this fall means that unlimited
tree coinage will be in the platform Of
that party in 1892. and Democratic sue
cess In the nation means this country
must go on a silver basis, Let us con-
tinue to pursue the Republican policy of
conservatism. Let US convince Europe
we are not going on a silver standard :.
MY word for it. when Europe is convinced
that we will not adopt a policy of free
and unlimited coinage, or, in other words,
that we will not place ourselves upon a
silver basis. we will be able to come to
some agreement for the better use OF
silver, If not at once to come to an inter-
national agreement by which the parity OF
the two metals upon an agreed rate may
he maintained

Senator Warren of Wyoming. who ia
yored free and unlimited coinage for the
products of the United States mines.
When the debate closed the congress
voted upon the second minority report
which opposed the free and Unlimited
coinage of silver and favored the calling
OF an internationa congress for the pur-
pose of establishing a universe, ratio of
gold and silver values. All the states
voted sgalnst this except Minnesota,
South Dakota, aud fourteen delegates
from Nebraska, the vote standing 90 tor
and lie against.
The vote upon the first minority report,
favoring the free and unlimited coinage OF
all silver offered at the United States
mlnts was hen taken. 1t stood Sc for
and 95 against. The vote was then taken
on a majority report favoring the free
coinage of silver for the American product
only. 1t resulted in lO2 for and As

An interesting debate arose over tho
resolution by Miller of Nebraska declar
ing the interstate commerce law was a
hindrance to interstate commerce and
should be repealed. He spoke at length
on the subject and referred to the vision.
airy schemes to which the people resorted
for relief. The people of Nebraska, for
instance, appealed from God Almighty to
the Nebraska legislature last winter, but
the Almighty got his work in this summer
bv giving the state n magnificent crop
and the work of the legislature had faded
out of mind.
Col. Gage of California said the inter-
state commerce law had benefited some
of the Eastern commercial c%enters, but
had been a curse to the trans Mississippi
states.
The resolution was then laid over until

The authorities have forbidden the local

The military grauaries have been depleted.
Funds for the relief of the starving people
