About a year ago Mr.. A W. Strickland,
an Industrious young farmer living six
miles southeast of the city fell desperately
in love with Miss Ida Porter, charm
ing young lady of the same neighborhood.
The young ladys relatives objected, but the
young folks resolved to elOpe. Mr.. Strick-
land got license and staked out preacher,
but the issuance of the license was
published in the papers and before chance
came to use it the relations of the lady saw
it and sent her away to Missouri. A few
weeks ago she came back. Her relatives
thought the affair was ended, but the young
folks did not. There were some private ne
gotiationS to which the rela-
tives were not parties. An
other license was procured, but
the fact was not published in the paper.
The same minister was engaged again, and
one day last week Miss Ida Porter, who did
not usually pick cotton, suddenly became
very iudustriously inclined and concluded
TO help pick out the crop. She went

| The Department OF Agriculture has
lately been making experiments in
initiating balloons with mixture OF
oxygen and hydrogen and exploding il
by means of electricity. The purpose
OF these experiments is to produce a
conclusion in the atmosphere that will
result In fall OF rain. 1t has also been
proposed to produce the same result
by exploding dynamite in the air. The
circumstance that rain has occurred on
battlefields soon after great engage
ments in which heavy artillery WAS
employed first gave rise to the idea that
a downpour of moisture could at any
time and in any place be secured by
means of violent agitation.
There is little to support the theory
that the discharged firearms or any
mechanical disturbance of the atmos.
phere produces rain, The occurrence OF
rain after great battle may be only a
coincident. 1t would certainly be made
a matter OF record by all who write ae-
counts of the battle. 1t is certain
that rain fall does not al
ways occur after a military engage
ment. But IL IL can be shown that a
heavy fall OF rain occurs more frequently
after battle than at other times, it can
be accounted for according to dis
tinguished German scientist by an alto
gether different theory than that OF the
disturbance of the air by the discharge
of firearms.
Senator Fsrwcll of Illinois, who owns
about halt of the panhandle of Texas
Is greatly interested in the scheme Of
artificial rain production. As this
region Ia not sufficiently watered by
natural rain fall some have thought he
was actuated by selfish motives in get
ting Congress to make an appropriate on
for the experiments that are
being madS by the Department
of Agriculture. An Australian who
is passing the summer near Canton,
Ohio, claims to be able to produce a
small shower or continuous rain storm
by means of electrical apparatus which
he invented and constructed. A local
paper Is authority for the statement that
the recent heavy rains that have occurred
near Canton were produced by the visitor
from the antipodes.
II men owning large areas of arid
territory are LAYING plans to take the
moisture from the air for their private
advantage, and foreigners are ready TO
take contracts to supply portions of the
great raiuless plains with water. the pub
lie has occasion to be alarmed. IL mois-

Progress aud Popularity OF Ballot
Reform

The fact that thirty II the forty -four
American states have adopte'i the Aus.
trallan ballot system In a more or hess
modified form within the last three
yearssshows how strongly ballot reform
has impressed itself upon the American
people. Attempts were made In two of
three states in 1857 TO secure legislation
10 the direction Of reform. but for one
cause or another these failed, and 10
Massachusetts, belongs the honor Of
enaetlng the first Australian ballot law
this being done Ia lsSS The Massachu-
setts statute has proved itself mos,
admirable one and has been the model
after which most Of the laws OF other
states have been constructed. The next
year, 1859, witnessed reform Legislation

tana, Rhode Island. Tennessee, Wis.
cousin, Michigan and Connecticut. In
1880, but few Of the state Legislatures

our own state, New Hampshire, Arkan

defective, and fall far short Of the Mas

worst, marked improvements upon the

The Price OF Wool
I Boston Journal.

The free trade papers for some time
have been endesvofing to make American
farmers believe that the Mckinley bill has
been Of no advantage to them, IS regards
the price Of their wool, and that they
would fare better under the free wool pol
icy Of the Mills bill. In proof Of this,
they have pointed to the fact that American
wool is no, selling as high as was antici-
pstsd. Some qualities, however. are ma
terisIly higher. For example, No. Ohio
heeces are quoted at SO cents, as compared
with "a year ago. and spring California
ranges up 10 % cents against 20 cents n year
ago. Some grades are slightly lower bat in
general, prices do rot vary g great deal
from the figures Of lac. year. But how as
to the price of wool in other wool-growing
countriesi Consul Griiiin of Sydney. New
South Wales. transmits some figures which
are interesting in this connection. The
Melbourne Argus. quoted by the Consul,
gives the following comparative table OF
the prices and sales of Australian wool;
