Bound To Drown Dakota. .

A few days since Washington dis
patches contained news regarding the
experiment which the agricultural de-.
partment will make in Dakota, pro-
duclng rainfall by aerial explosions.
Since then the department has decided
to make a change in the explosive to.
be used. 1t was at first proposed to
use dynamite, but 1t is low decided,
there would be to much danger in
handling il. Besides, a balloon loaded
with dynamite might fail to explode,
and allght in a settled community or
town with bad results. Yesterday
evening an experiment was made upon
q farm near Washington with hydro.
gen gas. The explosion was terrific
and shook every window in Washing
ton. Within two hours q heavy rain
decended and lasted all the evening.
The experiment will be made in Dako-
ta with hydrogen gas.

The Temperance People of the County
Assemble-A Grand Good Time.
For q couple OF weeks past John
Hughson has been busy arranging for
temperance picnic upon his grounds
In Trenton township. As O result
there gathered from the tour points OF
the compass q large assemblaee TO
enjoy the occasion. A more appro.
pirate spot could not have been
selected. Mr.. Hughson has q fine
farm, we'll laid out and situated on q
commanding eminence that affords
magnificent view of the country for
miles around. Beautiful shade trees
surround the farm house, to the north
OF which is large grove. On the east
side OF this grove upon q grassy sward
was pitched u large tent wherein the
intellectual entertainments OF the day
were conducted. The "Kid" band of
Brooklngs was present and received
many tlattering comments upon their
musical performances. Congressman
John A. Pickler delivered q very fine
temperance address before dinner
which was followed in the afternoon
by a Demorest prize medal contest.
This contest was indeed q meritorious
one and each effort was q surprise to
the listener. The judges. who were
DR.. McLouth, Hon. 0. H. Parker and
Prof. Waters, awarded the prize to
Marcus Allen. 1t was so good that
we reproduce the entire program with
out comment:
Fred Hughson-"The Bible and the Liquor
Traffic.
Miss Anna West-"Conscience will Destroy the
Arthur Sage-''Young Americas War Cry"
Miss Edith McNeil-"The Martyred Mother"
James Hughson-"The Honors of the Liquor
Traffic" ..
Miss Della French-"The Infamous Liquor
Traffic.
Marcus Allen -"Rum Selling the Countrys
Scourge."
Miss Lille Laird-"The Cry of Today"
Miss Ellen Roe treated the audience
to one Of her choicest selections in the
same vain. The music, in fact the
entire entertainment, was replete with
enjoyment. The usual lconcompetents
OF q celebration, viz: the ice cream and
lunch booths were there and in charge
of Mr.. Crawford, who in his genial
way, saw "that none went away dis
satisfied" 1t was very large day
and We are sure was enjoyed by all.
The management have our thanks for
courtesies extended.

Work in Iecturfrs.

A popular lecturer who has appeared
before big audiences on hundreds Ct
platforms during the past ten or twelve
years, says that lecturing IS the hardest
way OF earning living. The lecturer is
all the time exhausted with travel FROM
place TO place by railroad or steamboat,
or stage coach or other conveyance. He
cannot get solid sleep any time. He
finds himself in uncomfortable quarters
in all sorts of hotels. He cannot get to
bed till nearly midnight after any lect-
IRE. He Is bothered with committees
and agents. He often finds that both the
audience and the receipts are light. The
lecturer here quoted says that he Is worn
oct down TO the bones after few weeks
OF Iecturing. ard that he never had as
exhausting work when he was a deck
hand ABOARD ship as ne has had during
the years in which ne has been on the
lecture platform. His nervous system
