WHAT OF THE WEATHER
Rain Promised Today by the
Ohio Experimental.
He Has Been hysteriousIy 0perat-
ing Since Saturday.
The Limit Assigned by the Commit.
tee Expires This Evening.
Signal Service Observations Also
Indicate Rain Today.

Frank Melbourne, the storm king, as
he is Economically alluded 10 and the rain
doctor as he is more irreYerently called.
has been cooped up more or less continu-
ously in the barn in the rear Of Frank II.
Jones residence since 6 o'clock last Sat-
urday evening. Mr.. Jones lives in the
old Frewen house which occupies a little
plateau overlooking the town. 1t is an
ideal place for the operations Of any man
who is inclined to dawdle with the clouds.
The situation is elevated and standing
within an enclosure embracing about two
and a halt acres OF ground it gives that
privacy without which the highest kind
of mental labor is impossible. A short
distance to the rear of the house with its
wide, cool verandas, stands the
barn, an ordinary story and a half frame
structure. The lower floor furnishes
stabling accommodations for several
horses. Above stairs is the loft for hay
and a small ceiled room originally intended
for the accommodation of a coachmap. A
dormer window Is projected from the roo
, 1891-09-01

above this apartment to admit air and
light. A few shingles were removed from
the apex of this dormer window so that
Mr.. Melbourne might have uninterrupted
access to the outer ether and pursue his
incantatIons or scientific processes, as the
case might be, with a degree of freedom
altogether impossible in a closely sealed
up room. The coacbman's room was
appropriated at once by Melbourne. The
entire stable was carefully closed up and
the doors placed under lock and key.
Even the window was secured with a
shawl so that no prying eyes could
penetrate into the bowels of the mystery
which the room contained.
Saturday evening Mr.. Melbourne
moved there with four ordinary, rather
small and not at all mysterious looking
grlpsacks. One of these he seemed to
set great store by. He never let it get
out Of his sight and seldom out of his
hands. With this paraphernalis he moved
into his quarters and commenced opera
tons BY changing his clothes to an ordi-
nary suit such as a mechanic at work
would wear. During the whole night not
a sound was heard from the stable. Like
a voter of the Australian ballot Mel
bourne was alone With his God and his
lead pencil or whatever 1t was. There
were no special efforts made to spy on
his operations. No lights were percep-
tible all night, no noise, nothing whatever
in fact but deep and mysterious darkness.
Early Sunday morning Melbourne was
called into Mr.. Jones for breakfast. He
was attired in a gcnteel suit of black, just
as when he had disappeared the previous
evening. He looked somewhat paler and
had scarcely anything to say. He was
evidently in a hurry to get back
to the stable and hastily dis
patched his meal. At noon the same
process was repeated. During this meal
he remained equally uncommunicatlve
and seemed equally anxious to return to
his work. At 6 O'Clock in the evening
he again appeared for supper. Things
had apparently been going to suit him.
While not communicative, he chatted
pleasantly, though not freely, on indiffer-
ent topics. When asked directly. he said
he had slept about two hours toward
morning Sunday. Mr.. Jones then
wanted to give him a hammock or some
bedding to take to his unfinished room,
but he declined both, and said he was
quite comfortable.
All day long the weather was delight
fully balmy. The sky was fecked here
and there with fleecy clouds but the sig
nal service officer said there was then
every indication for a spell OF dry weather.
Toward shutdown there was a hazy ap-
pearance along the edge of the entire
horizon. A few fieeting clouds appeared
here and there but mainly in the west,
the lower surfaces of them ragged and
stringy looking as though the wind was at
work on them. The air was fresh and
the wind a little south OF west. After
supper Melbourne stood out on the lawn
! with Mr.. Jones and a LEADER reporter.

the different fire company houses. He
was much surprised to learn that Chey-

rooms of W boarders at Mrs.
Hunters, on East Seventeenth
street, and got away with some
money and other things. Ed Hansen, a
Union Pacific swltchnan, lost sc. so in
change, which was taken from the pock-
cts of a pair of pants he had been wear

lost a revolver. The only persons about
the premises at the time were two little

other inmates had gone out, leaving the

his natural growth, and is thereby fitted
to grasp the more difficult parts. He
would teach the child the simpler por-
tions of arithmetic which do not require
much exercise of the reason, and would
not try to force the mental faculties BY
attempting to teach the more difficult
parts to a child whose years and develop
ment have not qualified him to grasp
them. President Elliott also advocated
the teaching OF civil government and the
inculcation of correct principles Of liberty
and patriotism. At the close Of his ad-
dress Prof. Elliott was warmly congratu-
lated.
A TRIP TO EGYPT.
Following The Practical in Educa-

teresting paper entitled New York to
Luxor" which was an account ola jour

the people of the latter country. the Nile,

other antiquities. The paper was written
in her usual graceful style, and was much
enjoyed by everyone who heard it.

The last on the programme was instruc-
ion in drawing, by Prof. f. Fl. Collins of
Denver. The abilities OF the gentleman
are well known by Cheyenne people. Prof.

fortunate in again being placed under his
guidance.
The first session of the institute closed

The evening session consisted OF a vo-
cal solo by Miss Bessie Vreeland, and a
lecture on Ethics in the School Room"
by A. A. Johnson d. D., president Of
the Wyoming University. DR.. johnson
handled the subject in an able manner.
He began by saying that of late years the
demand for physical training, gymnastic
exercises, had grown strong. He thought
that without exercise, without physical
strength. there could not be sufficient
moral strength. The force of the lecture
was to the end that the rising generation
be taught s~elf-control. The young
should understand their conflicting ma
lures, which we're compared to fiery
steeds on which they should hold tight
rein and learn to guide Alright.
Fear, hope and duty should
be inspired in the pupils.
Fear, however, was of not much benefit.
The principle thing was for the teacher to
win the confidence and love OF their
pupils. The real elements Of character
was not in the head, Mr.. johnson
thought, but teachers must reach the
heart. Love-" said he, makes obedi-
ence a delight and a pleasure" To teach
was no ordinary calling and to be success
tul one must have self control, the pa
thence OF Job and a complete mastery of
human nature. The audience was made
up Of teachers aud those specially inter
ested in educational affairs. Tonight
there will be music and readings by Miss
Julia King and an admission of so cents
will be charged. At all other times ad-
mission free.

The Signal Office Looks for Ram.

The Signal Office Looks for Ram.
IF it rains today and the rain doctor
wishes the credit for the bringing Of it. it
will have to be a soaker and fall fast and
furious. Mr.. Gilchrist, a member O. the
committee. is beginning to weaken, and
Observer Ravenscraft is watching the
weather with the sole purpose of knowing
the why and wherefore of the rain, if it
comes.
Mr.. Ravenscraft received the report
last night from this section of the country,
and from it he figured that rain was a
probability for today.
At 6 O'Clock last night a slight rain was
commencing to fall at Fort Custer, Mont.
and the reports also told that the baron.e-
ter was rapidly falling IN Montana, the
Daaotas and Wyoming, and that a rain
would probably fall over the named states.
He said, figuring from the reports. hat If
the same conditions that prevailed
throughout the above mentioned states re-
manned during the night, rain would be
sure to fall today in Cheyenne.
The wind last night was blowing from
the south with a tendency to veer around
to the southwest. In case the wind
should come from the west
there will be little if any rain at all. but if
it continues to blow from the south or
should turn to the southeast rain is sure
to come and come heavy. 1.-THE barometer
in the Mississippi valley should fall the
result would be that we would have a vest
wind and consequently no rain, as the
clouds woald be dispersed and the sky
become clear.
However. Mr.. Ravenscraft, from the
report thinks there will be rain and ever
lift is escaped, a heavy storm will range
from Fort Custer towards the lakes,
passing probably between Omaha and
Chicago.
A heavy wind and clouds are looked for
today by the signal service officer whether
the rain comes or not.
