ALL WERE SUCCESSFUL.
The Rainnaker> Satisfied Over the
Experiments in Texas.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 2S.-Gen.
Il. G. Dyrenforth. under whose
charge the rain experiments have
been conducted in western Texas,
passed through Font Worth last
uight. l-lnalnln. here from 6:05 till
GAO. He Was accompanied by Prof
Carl My-i, ihe aelouaut, Prof. Ed
ward Powers, Paul A. Draper and
Edward W Ranuells, the manager
OF the Nelson Morris, or &c" ranch,
where the experiments have been
carried on. General Dyrenforth is
enthusiastic over the success of the
experiments. performed as they were
in one of the most arid sections Of
the country and under circumstances
which were as unfavorable rs they
could possibly have been. He said:
Our work has been seriously ham
pered by the strong winds which
have an unimpeded sweep on the
plains i'll that part of Texas and
which are constantly present. Sey-
erai times our balloons were broken
from their fastenings, and i'll some
instances the cords of the netting
parted as a result of these winds
speak Of. We at last were compell-
ed to erect coverings for our balloon
and for our mammoth oxygen fur
mace. After this no serious obsta
cles were encountered. During the
three weeks. while the experiments
were being made, over half a dozen
rains were had, three of the Il being
what are called grass rains in that
section. The first rain was of this
kiud and so was the fourth
The others We're good rains, but I
speak of these especially, as they
We're soaking rains. The last ex
periments / consider the most sue
cessful aud satisfactory, not only
because it was the the heaviest Of
the six, but because it was pioduc-
ed while the barometer was rising

AN ALLIANCE SCHEME.
The Country to be Filled With Coop
erative Stores.

A Topeka special of the 21st inst
says:
A committee of seven, consisting
of the president of the farmers al
lance and the executive board was
appointed by the Kansas alliance
commercial convention this after
noon to investigate a co operative
scheme proposed by S. W. Sandus-
ky of Columbus, general secretary
of the Kansas alliance exchange.
The scheme, if successful, will
build up the largest trust ever or
ganized in the United States.
1t is claimed by MIR. Sandusky
that the company known as the Ma
tional Union Company has been
chartered in New York with capi-
tai stock of S2O,OOO,OOO, $,3,OOO.OOO
of which has already been paid up.
Each town is to have company
store and resident manager,who is
to have charge OF the store and has
vote in the meetings of the com.
pany.
Goods are to be purchase .by reg
ular agents in large quantities and
shipped direct from the centers or
distributing points to every store
The distributing points are to be

Rid Weeds from Farms and Roadsldes

Rid Weeds from Farms and Roadsides.
Harrsonville Democrat.
Fifty years from now. aye twenty
five years from now, the noxious
weeds on the farms and roadsides
will not be allowed to go to seed.
We are of the opinion that some far
mers think weeds a necessary evil
that it would be next to impossible
to get rid of them. Not at all. All
that is necessary to be done is to let
the farmers of one school district,
for instance, agree that they will cut
down aud not allow the weeds on
their farms, and along the highways
to 60 to seed, and it will be but a
comparatively short time until blue
grass will have taken the place of
the wild sun flowers and other weeds
along the public roads. 1t wouldn't
be a very great burden for farmer
to run over his stubble field. for in
stance, and cut down the young
cuckleburs before the seed natures.
1t is not really herculean task to
clean our farms and highways if we
would so at it Systematically. 1t is
being done in older states aud they
are rid Of these pests. Nothing
would bring Missouri to the front so
rapidly as Kidding ourselves Of these
pests.

Private Individuals in Texas Deter
mined Ia Settle the Question.

Midland, Tex, Aug. 30.-The rain.
making experiment inaugurated by
the government, aud which has been
operating on the Morris ranch. %
miles from this place, is TO be push
ed to final and thorough test, re-
gardless of what the operations or
results of the Dyrenforth party have
been. R, j. Kleberg, of Corpus
Christi. Tex and ex Senator Collins
Of San Diego, Tex are here investi-
eating to ascertain what the Dvren-
forth party has done.
A reporter called upon them. and
the following is their statement in
substance: This thing must not
be stopped now, as it is too import
ant. We are here to investigate and
to learn, not to make statements.
We realize that the government ap-
portionment for this purpose was
small and probably not enough to
,rry it very far. We shall wait till
after this party make their final test
at Ell Paso, and if it is not then
further demonstrated as an absolute
fact. we propose, as individuals.
backed by our counties and many
very strong financial interests, to
make similar and conclusive test.
We realize that it is necessary to re-
move every doubt before the gov
ernment can be expected to lend any
further assistance, and that is what
the individuals we represent pro-
pose doing We go direct to Austin
and shall interview Governor Hogg
and seek to further enlist his infu-
ence i'll the furtherance of this un
dertaking, with which he is already
deeply interested and favorably im-
pressed"
These gentlemen represent the
great King estate and other of the
most extensive ranch and land own
ing concerns in the state. and they
mean business. The world now may
expect this theory proved a success
or failure beyond a reasoable
| doubt.

THE SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO


According to the Herald dispatches
from Valparaiso, the Chaneral regi-
meut Of the Congressional army took
formal possession of Santiago last
night. If this is true the last act of
the bloody revolution which has
torn Chill for the past seven months
is closed.
As soon as the news reached Sau-
tiago of the overwhelming defeat Of
the government troops and the sur
render Of Valparaiso, the reop'e
knew that Balmacedl's power was
gone and their hatred of his govern.
ment broke forth. The cry was
raised that Balmaceda should be
killed, and mob started for his
house. It grew III numbers and
fury as it went through the streets
and by the time it reached the ex-
ecutive mansion it was ripe for any
bloody deed. The president. how
ever, was not there. Enraged, the
mob burned tle executive mansion.
While it was in flames the mob
marched 10 the home Of Seuor God
ay, the ex-minister OF the interior
and al ardent Balmacelist and fred
his place.
Then the residences OF Balmace-
da 5 mother, General Barabos. who
was killed at the battle Of Placilla.
Senors Mckenua and Eastman. the

houses OF several prominent officials
were burned to the ground.

SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
The Victory of the Chilian Insur.
gents now Complete.

Washington, Aug. 3l-Official
corroboration of Balmacedas fall
reached the naval and state depart
ments this morning. Acting Secre.
tary Wharton received the following
cablegram from Consul McCreery,
dated Aug. 80, 9p m:
Balmaceda has turned over the
government to Baquedano and fed
Canto goes to Santiago to night to
assume control until the arrival of
Junta from Iquique. Good order
here.
Acting Secretary Soley also re-
ceived the following cablegram from
Admiral Brown, dated Valparaiso
August 30:
President of Chill has surrender
ed the government to the Chilian
General Baquedano and has left
Valparaiso. Valparaiso we'll organ
lied. The foreign forces have re
embarked.
The above is somewhat obscure,
but it is interpreted at the depart
ments to mean that the police force
in Valparaiso is so well organized
as to relieve the foreign admirals OF
further necessity for keeping their
marines on shore duty.

with the above amount secured, as it
is it is not chestnut to say that the
great work will be accomplished in
due time. Contracts for the street
grading have already been let; the

Watauga Water Company is doing

work of street grading embraces the

THE COOPERATIVE TOWN COM
PANY MEET IN WASHINGTON.

THE board of the Cooperative
Town Company had::a very satisfac-
tory meeting in Washington a few
days ago for the purpose of trans
acting business. Hon. Robt. p.
Porter, of Washington, is president
and William T. Love, of Knoxville,
Tenn, general manager. The COM
pany was organized about thirty
days ago for the purpose of building
up a town in East Tennessee, AT
the above meeting the report of
assistant secretary John c. Houk
showed that fourteen thousand six
hundred and twenty.six shares were
already subscribed for, coming from
fourteen States and the District of
Columbia. The subscribers are
bank cashiers and presidents, capt.
talists, business men, manufacturers
and people of small and large
means.
AT the present rate of subscrip-
ton the first series of twenty thous.
and shares sold at eleven dol.
lars per share will be exhausted
within the next ten days. The
board of directors, therefore have
decided to follow it up with a sec
ond series of ten thousand shares to
be sold at twenty-six dollars pei
share, payable one dollar down and
twenty monthly installments of &
dollar and a quarter each. They
will soon select site which Porter
himself said in Knoxville, when the
company was organized, would be
in East Tennessee.

before the President reached the Cald-

little girls-Carrie Cobbs and Sadie
