How a lewiston Liquor Case Was
Thrown Out Of Court.

LEWISTON. September PIN the Supreme
Court, in liquor case, counsel for defense
yesterday claimed that the warrant was in
sufficient. In the case on trial the seizure
was made. from builcing and warrant OBJ
tained subsequently. 1t was for seizure
only. Counsel claimed it should have been
for search and seizure. Judge Emery today
ruled that a warrant issued before a search
must be for both search and seizure and one
obtained after seizure must be the same. In
this case on trial the warrant was only for
seizure, and he dismissed the case. There
are several similar cases pending and thew
will be mol pressed. The warrant was issued
by the Lewiston municipal court aud many

and won easily. The result was so apparent
that the slate was made up when they were
on the back stretch. Mr.. Kane vigorously
objected TO taking part in a competition with
Saltpetre, an old timer with a record Of
394. The judges however gave the race to
Saltpetre, deciding the gentlemen's race as
other races are tr0tted on point of speed,
and furthermore that II Mr.. Kane was not
satisfied he should have objected before
starting In. The summary:

Dull Summer Months.

July and August comprise what is
called the dull season by the CONNER
cial world because the farmers are busy
II is these months and the work that
is done in them which brings forth
the bulk of the year. They may be
dull months for the tradesmen, but
they are even to that class the most
profitable. Even though the mer-
chant must be idle and fold his hands
for these two months. he does not re-
pine, for he knows that the money
tor his future trade is heing made
then. Those who do business and
dwell in town should welcome what
is termed the dull season of the mid
summer. and must be content to
await their time for the proit-sharing
in the growing of the crops. The
more experienced man of business
learns to regard the dull season with
favor. He anticipates it by prear-
ranging his affairs to meet it conf
tortably. He is not in the least cast
down or perturbed in spirits. While
the farmers arc at work his profits
are growing, and when the harvests
arc gathered. his harvest will come to
him in months of busy trade and
heavy sales.

The merchant who trusts Tom
Dick and Harry Is always a ~"squcalcr.'
for he is always losing money. Now,
why does a merchant trust everybody
that comes along? All merchants DO
not do business that way but some do
and they are the ~"squealers." They
certainly do not do this trusting bust,
ness TO accommodate the person
trusted; it is for gaining what the
gambler plays cards for. If the
gambler loses and "sgucais' he is
looked down upon. The same rule
ought to hold good in the casc of any
merchant who will trust ont his good.
aud take the long chances for gain
and '~squeals" because he gets beat at
his own game. There is too much
trusting done. 1t would be far better
for people were it not SO. The Demo-

RaIN-MAKINGI IN
The B~yrcnf0rlh Sky Dembardnsent
Gratifying Results.

Midland, Tex, August 1.-THE
people of this section are more than
pleased with the recent success of the
Governments rain-making expert
mcnts. The drouth that is daily max
ing inroads upon the farmers pros
poets may possibly be broken by the
Dyrenforth process. which, as simply
described, is nothing more or less
than an extensive system of sky can
nonading. Another test will be made
on Friday next near the railroad. as
soon as the final test has been male
on Norris ranch, and thus the whole
country will be given a chance TO
witness what promises TO be the
grandest achievement of all modern
science and ages past. A member OF
the expedition says no such pcrcept-
able results were anticipated. The
combustibles were light and not of
sufficient force to generate or u
any great fall of rain. The Morris
ranch is 20 miles from Midland, and
in the very heart of the Staked Plains.
Hundreds of people will witness the
final test.
About noon local rain showers
were frequent, and covered many
miles of country. AT the Morris
ranch, where the experiment was
made, the rain was heavy, and con-
tinued several hours. The people of
this country, who had become some
what respondent because OF the
threatened continuance of the drouth,
arc now buoyant with hope. The
experiment made yesterday was
merely the beginning. The material
and preparations are sufficient for a
weeks continued test. The sky is
clear again, and no special indications
are to be seen. which fact attests to
the practicability of the experiment.
