The DEBATERS. S.--After a spirited
debate on the question of a war navy,
the chair decided in favor of naval
armament equal to any in the world.
The question for next Saturday
evening is, "Resolved, that the
United States should resent Russian
perseoution of the Jews" For a
week hence the question is, "Re-
solved, that the territory of Okla
homa should be set aside by the
government as a state exclusively
iof the African race"

HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST,

PARIS, Aug. 24.-Additional de-
tails received here this morning
from st. Pierre, capital of the island
of Martinique, which was visited
by terrible hurricane Tuesday
night, show that the facts already
published did not tell the full story
of the disaster.
The number of dead was origin.
ally estimated at sixty, with hun
dreds of injured. The late dis
patches received here announces
that 21S people are found to have
been killed in the coast towns, the
interior not having been heard
from. There is no doubt that the
loss of life in the interior towns
may have been greater than in the
coast towns, so it is impossible at
present to even make an estimate
of the number of people who lost
their lives through the cyclonic
disturbance which brought so much
ruin and desolation to the unfor.
tunate island.
The roads are blocked in some
cases for several miles by fallen
trees and displaced earth and rocks.
Houses, crops and trees from one
end of Martinique to the other have
been demolished or flattened down
beyond hope Of recovery. The loss
to the coffee and sugar planters
will be very great.
The physicians of the island had
hardly an hours rest for the first
forty-eight hours following the
hurricanes passage, and citizens of
ali classes are doing their utmost
to succor the sufferers and to re-.
pair so far as possible the damage
done.

THEY PRODUCED RAIN.

A correspondent has just reached
Midland, Texas, after driving
twenty-five miles through mud
and water from the Morris ranch,
where the government rainfall ex-
petition is located. General Dyren-
forth and his party have again
achieved success in their efforts to
produce rainfall by artificial
means, and all this region is re-
joicing in heavy and widespread
rainstorm, which insures winter
grass and averts the distress
which a few weeks more of dry
weather would have brought. This
is the second heavy rain on the
Morris ranch which has fallen in
side of eight days, besides several
light showers, and there seems to

two months ago that the climate of
this locality would wear him out,
and strongly advised him to travel.
He thought he knew the town
better than we did, and the result
was a hanging last Friday night.
Bill kept on drinking and fussing
until he put a bullet in Indian
Mike. No doubt Mike ought to
have been shot long ago, but the
boys concluded that Bill Chudso
was getting to careless with his
gun, and he was invited to 20 out
and be hung.
We were early on the spot, of
course, while our contemporary
never even heard of the case until
next day. We expected Bill would
be little sore on us, but he wasn't.
He wanted to shake hands with US
before he was tied, and during the
fifteen minutes allowed him on the
head Of the barrel he spoke in the
highest terms Of us as a citizen
and as the editor of great weekly
paper. He called direct attention
to the Kicker, declaring it worth
five times the subscription price
($1 in advance), and added that if
he had needed the good advice
found in every issue he would not
have been standing where he was.
In fact, Bill talked so tluently that
we were almost mind to ask the
boys to spare him and let us try
him as an advertising solicitor.
We reflected, however, that the
crowd had been put to a great deal
of trouble and would probably be
disappointed, and therefore held our
peace while Bill swung off. The
very last thing that he did was to
hand us his gun as an equivalent
to the cost Of ten years subscription
to the Kicker for his mother.
THAT'S no WAY.-Two or three
weeks ago we had an item to the
effect the county clerk of this
county was drinking too much tam
glefoot that public business was
being sadly neglected. We meant
it in all kindness, and hoped he
would take it that way, but it
seems that the iron struck home.
Instead of coming to this office and |
talking the matter over in friend
ly way, he banged our sanctum
door open last Monday and began
blazing away at us with an old
revolver as long as a rail and as
noisy as a cannon. He shot hole
in our Office clock, perforated
state man of Nebraska, and !
knocked the end off a horn of
plenty we had hanging up for an
ornament. The rest of his lead
went wild.
We don't want to be captious
about these things, but we have
feelings to be hurt. After the blithe
young man had got through we
rose up and sliced the lobe of his
left ear off as souvenir and then
. threw him into the street. We
were somewhat riled for a minute, !
but when he broke down and cried
we went out and stuck the lobe in
place and made friends with him.
His ear will be as good as ever in
couple of weeks, and We hope the
matter will prove a great moral
lesson to him.

rain-makers deserve considerable
credit tor the copiousness of the
fall.
Ten days ago the experimenters
began operations, and they have
kept up a continual skirmish since
that time. Some of the most power
full apparatus has not been used to
a great extext, but large quantities
Of rock-a-rock mixture, dynamite
and oxyhydrogen gas have been
exploded on the ground, from kites
and in balloons. The readings of
the instruments which Prof. Curtis
ofthe Smithsonian Institute brought
from the weather bureau at Nash
ington clearly show that tho opera
tons have had marked effects
upon meteorological conditions and
have produced definite and practi-
cal results. The continued series
of explosions last week resulted
Monday night in an unsettled con-
dition of the atmosphere, light
broken clouds floated overhead and
the moonlight shone brightly be-
tween them. A heavy charge of
rock-a-rock was fired for more than
fifty spectators. and forty seconds
after the explosion followed the
observers were treated to the rare
sight of a beautiful lunar rainbow.
This operation was repeated four
times during the evening, when a
light cloud came directly over
head and in every case the rain
fell in from twelve to forty seconds.
The firing was redoubled Tuesday
and the clouds gathered and
formed steadily all day until 6p.
m. the rain again began to fall.
Before 10 o'clock this whole region
was drenched and soaked.
Still more effective apparatus
will be brought into operation to-
morrow, and the rain-makers ex-
pect to see a third storm over the
Llano Estacado before the the week
is out. If so, the prairie dogs will
get a drowning out, which has
been almost unprecedented.
A young Kentucky girl named
Agnes Rankin has been playing
some amusing pranks on the other
girls in Crockett county. Putting
on male attire she secured work as
a hired man on a farm, and begun
at once to court all the attractive
young women of the neighborhood,
escorting them to church and to
places of amusement and acquiring
local reputation as beau. When
her sex was discovered it was
found that she had become engaged
to marry three farmers daughters.
The genuine New England hired
man of the Almy type is bad
enough as a heart-breaker, but
Miss Rankin seems able to crowd
him closely for the honors.

Never to Fail.
Chambers Journal.
young man, who had been arrested one
morning for theft, was called up and measured
then and there. The process is carried out by
two men, one of whom applies the instruments
and calls out the figures, which are entered
on card by the other, precisely as in tailor's
shop. The subject is barefooted and bare
headed. The measurements are taken in four
minutes, together with the height standing,
height sitting, the length of the arm extended,
the length and breadth of the ear. This fin
ished NJ. Bertillion, card in hand, interro-
gated the prisoner:
"What is your name?'
''Albert FeliX.n
"Have you ever been up before?"
'No, never.'
ssQuite sure ?'
'Perfectly sure" with jaunty confidence.
AS the young scoundrel was the leader of a
band, this seemed highly improbable.
He was removed, and we proceeded to the
search. Section after section of the drawers
was rapidly eliminated by comparing the fig
ures on them with those on M. Felix's card.
AT last we came to single drawer, and then
down to two cards. If he was there at all, it
must be one of these. A look at the first at
once showed discrepancies OF one or more mil
limetres under some OF the headings, and, as
the bony measurements are accurate to mil
limeter, it could not be this one. There re-
mained one card. M. Bertillon took it up,
hiding the photograph on it. All the figures
corresponded exactly with those just taken of
Felix. He was recalled, and again questioned.
He repeated his former statements, but OBJ
viously with less confidence. M. Bertillon
uncovered the photograph, and there the fell
low was to the life, and as he stood that
moment before u.s. 1t was most startling.
But the original of the photograph was called
Alfred Louis Lemarie, and he had been in
jail two years before. The card bore details
of certain scars and marks on hand and body;
they corresponded exactly with those on Felix.
Our friend, the detective, edged up and
watched the prisoner with professional de-
light. Again questioned, Felix stuck to his
story, but his composure was gone, his eye
was troubled, his lips trembled and the mus
cles in his face twitched. The photograph
was shown him. "Who is that ?''
''Not me, some one like me"-but very
shakily.
''This is Alfred Louis Lemaire, and he was
arrested" etc.
The fellow was down in an instant, as limp
as wet paper ''Oi, c'est mon nom,' adding,
81 knew you would find it'
The astonishing thing was that out of that
great roomfIl of cards not single one
corresponded, or anything like corresponded
with the measurements of the youth before us
except that particular one his own. Mistake
is impossible.

THE LONE HIGHWAYMAN.
A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STAGE
AGAIN HELD UP.
The Driver of the Vehicle Shot, But the
Robber Scared OFF Without Obtaining
Any Booty.

REDDING, CAL, March THE Red
ding and Weaverville stage was held up
by lone highwayman tonight, at about
half-past o'clock, near what is known
as the double S, two miles from town.
The driver, Ed Graham, was called upon
to halt, and he reined up his team i'm
mediately. A masked robber then
called to the driver: "Drive up little
further" The team was started, and
had not proceeded far till the robber
shouted: "Hold up, or I'll Shoot
Messenger Ward raised his gun, and
as he did SO, the highwayman, who was
standing on four-foot embankment
about level with the drivers seat, and
but a few feet distant, fred his revolver
at the driver, the ball taking effect in
his right side. The messengers gun
snapped, and he dropped it into the
road, pulled his revolver and blazed
away over the top of the coach. A
second shot was fired by the would-be
robber, but without effect. BY this
time the frightened stage team was run
ming away, and it is not known whether
Messenger Wards shot took effect or
not.
/. 1t is supposed that the highwayman
is well acquainted in this neighborhood,
and that he knew that it was ''treas-
ure trip night but was unprepared for
resistance. He was a short, slender
built man and wore light gray mask.
There were four passengers aboard,
and with the exception of the driver no
one was injured, although the stage was
considerably damaged by the wild run
of the horses. Graham's wound, while
not necessarily fatal, is of serious ma
ture, and he probably owes his life to
the quantity of thick clothing in which
he was enveloped.. No one was allowed
to so to the scene of the attempted rob-
berry, as tracking about would make
tracking in daylight utterly impossible.
