ALL THE AMENDMENTS CARRIED.
New Provisions Added to the Constitution
of Texas by the Vote Of the People.

New Provisions Added to the Constitution
of Texas by tho Vote Of the People.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 18.--The amend
ments to the constitution, upon
which the people voted Tuesday, were
five In Rumber
The first provides for registration
of voters in cities of 10000 inhabi-
tants and over and empowers the
legislature to make changes in the bal
lot laws. The Australian ballot system
is at the bottom OF it.
The second authorizes the legislature
to take | per cent. of the permanent
school fund and place 1t to the credit of
the available school fund. The fact that
the public schools of Texas are not kept
open more than four months in the year
and the teachers are forced to wait for
their pay is at the bottom Of this amend
ment.
The third provides that the legal rate
of interest shall not be more than 10 per
cent per annum, and in contracts where
the rate is not stated il shall be per
cent The Farmers Alliance Is at the
bottom of this.
The fourth gives more extended facili-
ties for adopting and enforcing local pro-
hibition.
The fifth provides for the creation Of
additional courts of civil and criminal
appeals.
The poll closed at 6p. m. Advices
from all parts of the state show that all
of the amendments have been carried.
The judiciary amendment would have
been defeated but for the fact that many
Of the suffragists did not take the trouble
TO scratch. The vote was about one
fifth Of the usual amount.

Of the postmasters and mail carrier on
that particular route of thirteen miles
in length, this family and others who
desired to enter into the arrangement
erected posts for the reception and pro-
lection of small mail bags, suitable for
both collection and delivery, and thus at
a cost of 50 to each family, daily de-
livery was established, and all mail ex-
cept registered letters, was promptly de-
livered. Each family had its own mail
bag, properly inscribed, and were grant
ed the privilege of placing therein

RAIN FELL.
Result of Rain Producing Ex.
periments in Texas.
1t Was Only a Preliminary Test Of
the Apparatus,
But Nevertheless a Coplous
Shower Followed.

Clouds Begin To Form In Ten Mours and
in Seventeen the Deluge Begins, Cover
ing an Area Of Thousand Square
Miles Particularly Heavy and Pro-
longed in the Locality In Which the
Explosions Occur-NO balloons Used.
A Full Test to BE Made shortly.
MIDLAND, Tex, Aug. l3.--The rainfall
expedition sent out by the United States
department of agriculture under the
charge of General r. G. Dyrenforth, ar
rived at Midland last week. and Monday
scored its first success Last week was
spent in conveying the supplies to the
ranch of Mr.. Nelson Morris, of Chicago,
which is located twenty-three miles
north of this place.
Saturday and Monday part of the ap-
paratus was set up and test Of it was
made in which a number of explosives
were fred. The explosions of racka-
rock bombs caused great conclusions
and were heard and felt distinctly at a
considerable distance from the field of
operation. The explosives were all fired
ON and in the ground by means Of elec-
trio batteries. The trial was made pri-
marily to test the apparatus and was
not calculated to be ON a scale extensive
enough to insure rain,
The Heavens Open.
However, in about ten hours after the
explosion, clouds began to form and
gather over the Morris ranch and sur
rounding country and about seventeen
hours after the operations rain began to
fall in copious quantities. The storm
seemed to gather directly over the ranch,
and the fall of rain was heaviest at that
point. The storm extended over space
of 1000 square miles, and at the ranch
the rain continued to fall for space of
six hours. About two inches fell at that
point. This storm breaks drouth Of
long duration in this locality, and ia the
best rain that has fallen on the Morris
ranch for years.
Wait for u Thorough Test
All the apparatus will be in position in
few days, when full trial will be
made, which will be watched with the
greatest interest. The public will be
furnished full reports of the operations.
One of the Party Interviewed.
A reporter interviewed one of the
party of rain producers, who said
"We don't think the explosions act
ually produced the storm, as they were
not on large enough scale, but they
were undoubtedly instrumental in pre-
cipitating the moisture which the clouds
brought to that locality and greatly in
creased the intensity of the storm and
the quantity of the rainfall, which was
greatest in the immediate vicinity of the
place of operations We will continue
to cautiously make tests as to the density
of the atmosphere in this particular To-
cality so that our bombs may be adapted
to meet every possible condition, and
when we have sufficiently satisfied our
selves upon these and similar points the
decisive experiment will be made, which
will not be yet for several days.
The reporter did not witness the ex-
periments referred to above, but can
testify TO the rain falling in Midland,
over twenty miles from the spot Of oper-
ations, the first good rain for several
months
