AN OLD MAIDS GRIEVANCE.
She Claims that q Prominent Law
yer Misled Her.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Special. Miss
Narrisi P. Saunders, a stepdaughter of
Ex-Governor Aaron V. Brown, filed
sensational bill in the chancery court
here against John NJ. Gaut She claims
that she asked Gaut to obtain loan of
SO, 200 or $4,000 for her, and to ad-
vance the bid on property of hers, in
cludlng Melrose, that was sold 10 satisfy
a judgment; her purpose being to save
the home place.
She claims that he agreed to do what she
asked, and mined his fee; that he after
wards, when it was too late to get any
one else to advance the bid, claimed Ger
tain White county lands she had decided
10 him, in payment of his fee, was not as
valuable as represented by her and Col
onel Savage, and required $1,000 addi-
tional She claims also that the defend
ant took memoranda of their agreement,
and read typewriter copy, which was
read as agreed, and that she signed it,
believing it was written as it was read,
and not till afterward found out that
things benefic ial to her had been omit
ted. She accuses Gaut Of trying to sac
rifice the home property she wished saw
ed, and chg gcs that, under the pretcnse
OF trying to save it, Guut sacrificed it.
She asks that the fees paid Gaut be
declared null and void, and asks that
Gout be required to pay to her such
losses and damages rs, by his wrongs,
fraud and imposition, he has inflicted
upon her.
Mr.. Gaut is a wealthy and prominent
lawyer, and has an excellent reputation.

Lower pric than those of last year arc

harvest Many of the farmers have thus
so d their crops in advance, but the ma
jori,y have heard of the shortage in Eu-

that the bulk of the crops in this vicini-

Common on veloclpedes, muses. the Bos-

crowded, and the curiosity to see the
much -talkcd-of machine in practical use
was intense. There followed a regular
velocipede fever, and it ran until the
following spring. The velocipede was
well enough for indoor riding or a
smooth floor, but it surely was not the
thing for road riding. So the velocipe,ie
retired from view, and in process of time
the bicycle appeared in its stead. Now
the bicycle-what is called the "ordi-

the "safety," which is in appearance
moro like the discredited velocipede than
its successful successor the bicycle. All
of which goes to show the changes

OUR RAIN MAKERS.
Six Hours Precipitation Follow the
Experiments.
The Sky Was Almost Cloudless
When the Explosives Were Dis
charged. and Sharp Rain
fall Followed, Covering
an Area of 1000
Square Miles.

MIDLAND, TEX, Especial, Gen. Dy-
renforth's party Of rain makers are jubi-
liant. The first important experiments
have met with great success. a rain fell
Tor more than six hours. and they declare
that it was undoubtedly caused by the
sexpfosion Of. pxyhyd:og-n balloons,
rackarock powder and dynamite AT 8
O'Clock in the afternoon a large balloon
was sent up at the G ranch, where the
men of science have their Headquarters.
The ranch is about twenty five miles from
this town. The balloon was sent up
about one and quarter miles and was
then exploded. 1t made a report like
severe clap of thunder. There were only
few white clouds floating in the blue
sky at the time, the SUN was shining. and
an old farmer or mariner would have said
that it would not rain in week The
weather instruments showed that the
weather YVES remarkably dry and the ba-
romcter pointed ut "fair."
Ten minutes after the balloon had dis
appeared in a peal of thunder, kites w were
set flying, and attached to their tails was
dynamite. This was exploded while the
kites were high in the air, and then a
great quantity of powder, which was
scattered over the ground for about two
miles, was set off by electricity. This
made noise like a succession Of batter
les OF artillery. The smUkg rose In inc
air for about 200 feet and drifted toward
the experts headquarters. pefore it
reached there, however, it was driven to
the earth by torrent of rain.
The few fleccy clouds had gathered to-
gethcr, others had formed, the sky quick
ly had become overcast, and Il storm had
been created by mans efforts The ba-
rometer began falling ten minutes after
the balloon was exploded. The rain was
very heavy, and the centre of the storm
was over the G ranch. According to re-
ports from the ranchmcn and employees
along the line Of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad the storm extended over all
area not less than 1000 square miles. 1t
is hard to get definite reports and it may
have reached further.
The noise of the explosion was heard
plainly at Midland, and even at ranches
forty miles from the scene of the expert
ments. The people thought it was thun-
several more explosions We're ard mere.
! The experimenters were undoubtedly at
work again. The sky became overcast
inside of half an hour, and it began to
rain at 2 40 o'clock. 1t looks now as if
it would rain all night
This region, as rule, is very dry and
it is exceedingly unusual to have much
rain at this season of the year The rain
makers are sure that they have stolen the
secret of Jupiter Pluvius, and say they
can flood the country at an hours notice.
Their greatest experiment, when they
will explode tremendous lot Of bal
looms, kites, and dynamite, will proba-
bly, not take place until Friday The
ranchmen and town weather prophets
don't believe the storm was made by the
rain producers, but Gen. Dyrenforth says
he will convince the most skeptical in a
1ay or two

biIities of a reorganization of tho Three

preset the opinion that when the road
was completed to Minneapolis, Va, is
would be able to earn the interest on its
mortgag s, but tho full benefit of the ex
tension of the road would not be realized
until i; is completed to Cincinnati. When
this was done he was Of the opinioa that
the Three C's would be one of the hest
freight lines in the country, and would
Originate" to use his own words, "more
freight than any other line east of the

however, that the practical reorganiza-
