car, Can l go your bail?' Then to see all
the people in the car look at me and then
to have them turn to their neighbors and

inal.
But the Other Fellows, All Me.
But, seriously, it was said to observe
the mental torments of the old gentlemen
in the board of directors of the New Ha.
ven road. These men for lifetime have
been known for their integrity and prob
ity. They were forced TO believe that this
prosecution was for political effect. They
felt under the circumstances that the
whole idea was to convict them whether
they were guilty or not. 1t was hard to
see them worrying, and to receive then
visits at my house in the morning and in
the evening and on Sundays.
Couldn't Forget Their Troubles.
They wanted to discuss the situation
every moment. Sometimes they were
moved to tears at what they considered
the humiliation they had been subjected
TO. Then they received cables from differ
ent parts of the world from their families
inquiring how the case was progressing.
Remember that the integrity and stand
ing these men had never been questioned.
1t got so that their appeals rather ratified
me. Sometimes i was quite as ratified as
they were
just Think of 1t, Indeed.
Think of the spectacle of the coroner
holding an old gentleman like Wilson G.
Hunt and Mr.. Park, of Park & Telford
and Mr.. William Rockefeller, and others
in SIS, 900 bail as if they were boodlers or
murderers. This was situation difficult to
accept seriously There is silver lining
to every cloud, if we are only looking
for it. Even the gloomy proceedings

torship in 1879 the congregation is
said to have made him a present of
$4,000 and to have mortgaged the
church for the purpose. He gave up
pastoral work in 1885.
Burchard came prominently be-
fore the public in 1884, when sew
eral hundred ministers gave a

had engagements to meet at Good

places or he would have remained
here until he ha caused it to rain.
But he will undoubtedly return

ditions.
MELBOURNE WAS NOT IN II.
Nampa Leader.
Melbourne and two assistants
arrived here Sunday morning, and
the following evening a tent was
placed on the roof of the bank
building. Monday morning the
weather was cloudy and considera-
bic rain fell, but about 10 o'clock,
the clouds appearing to break
away, and prospects bid fair for
clear day. The wizard entered
the tent with two small satchels
and it was announced that he had
commenced work. In the after
noon the clouds had a peculiar
appearance and some rain fell, but
during the night the sky cleared
up and Tuesday morning found no
rain. But during the day there
was every appearance of rain, dark
threatening clouds arose above the
horizon and yet there was no rain,
and during the night all appearance
of rain disappeared, the sky re-
naming clear. Wednesday morn
ing was bright and clear, with a
strong wind from the west. The
professor remained in his tent until
6 o'clock. After having been on
the roof for fifty-six consecutive
hours, having had his meals carried
to him. He then announced his
inability to produce rain at this
place and ascribes his failure to
the fact that the weather at this
point was unsettled when he COM
menced operations, as the rain
Sunday night and Monday morning
left the atmosphere moist. He
claims that his success has been
the greatest when the weather was
dry and warm. Had he not had
an engagement to meet in Kansas
he would have continued his expert
lnents here at least four days
longer, as he fully believes that
under more favorable circumstances
that he can cause the rain to fall
here as we'll as elsewhere. He
announces his intention to return
sometime in the future and dem
onstrate the fact that he can give
US good rain.

Melbourne Works Fiity-six Hours at

AND HAS TO GIVE IT UP.
Uncle Dan'i, Of tic Progress, Indu'ges
in Some Vivid Word Painting, Which
is Worth the Price of Admission.

Melbourne arrived in Nampa
last Sunday and selected the DUTIES
brick for location for his labra-
tory.
Monday morning the sky was
overcast with cumulo-stratus
cloud approaching to the nimbus
form with occasional light showers.
Mr.. Melbourne said he would not
operate until the board of trade
should determine. The weather
was unfavorable for operations, he
would much rather have clear sky
as sunshine was one of the condi-
tions necessary to success. About
o'clock the clouds broke away
and Melbourne commenced opera
tions.
Tuesday morning the sky was
again overcast and few drops of
rain fell, but the clouds gradually
disappeared and by noon the sky
was clear. Soon great masses of
cumulus clouds commenced to pile
up on the Owyhee range to the
south, the Boise range to the east,
the Blue mountains to the west and
the Salmon mountains to the north;
all around the horizon white clouds
like snow capped mountains piled
up on top of hoary mountains; sem
tinels, as it were, keeping guard
around the blue ethereal dome
capped vault, above the sacred pre-
cincts of Nampa, where feeble NOR
tai man was attempting to arrest
from high heaven the great prerog-
alive of making rain descend alike
upon the just and the unjust; max
ing merchandise of natures most
holy gift to mortal man. The
scene was majestically grand be-
yond the power of tongue or pen to
describe. For long hours the vision
of glory remained, and not single
sentinel ventured to leave his post
of duty; not clond dared to climb
towards the zenith to obscure the
dazzling light of the great orb of
day, which was pouring it's efful-
gent beams ofglory upon the sacred
scene. But at the approach of
night the setting SIM changed the
scene; the clouds turned golden,
then scarlet; great masses broke
from the western piles and floated
toward the zenith, changing as
they were pushed up by the au-
tumnal zepkers, first Speeding out
into long golden-hued bars, then
breaking into red mackerel clouds,
pierced, as it were, by ten thousand
blood dripping arrows, and vanish
lug above the magic plains. The
t.scepe was awe-inspiring; a great
battle was being fought-a battle
between the elements and presump.
tious man, who had raised his
puny arm of rebellion against ma
lures memorable DEGREES. Soon the
silent stars peeped from behind
their veil of light to behold victory
perched upon the brow of nature,
and the pale-faced but beautiful
moon climed from behind the
Boise mountains and cast her CLINT
ing rays Of light athwart the placid
scene.
But Melbourne was not disposed
to yield the palm, Notwithstanding
the condition of the atmosphere
was such that clouds burned up as
soon as he could produce them, he
continued operations. But during
Tuesday night old Boreas appeared
on the scene; strong wind from
the northwest blew during that
night and all day Wednesday.
This drove the scientist to the wall
