RAIN MAKERS IN CALIFoRIA.
PIXLEY, CAL, Jan. 15.-A party
of three rainmakers arrived here
last night, and will proceed at once
TO demonstrate what they can do.
The weather Is dry and cold, and
there Is no probability Of rain in the
appearance Of the sky; so if any
rain falls it will be greatly to their
credit. This town is surrounded by
nearly 100000 acres which is being
put into wheat, and an assurance of
rain would be well worth 81 per
acre 10 the farmers. So If the rain
makers do what they promise their
fortune is assured.

AFTER THE LIQUOR DEALERS.
OTrUMwA, Ia, Jan. 15.-Judge
Dewey, holding court for Judge
Burton, yesterday threw bomb
shell into the camp of the syndicate
Of saloon keepers represented by
Liston Mcmillan. "Stormy" Jordan
was fined $500 aud John Nuser $500
for contempt in violating an injunc-
tion. This indicates the fate of the
rest of the syndicate of fifty saloon
men. stormy" Jordan, saloon
keeper who years ago labeled his
saloon "The Road to He'll" Is one
of the syndicate. Blston Mcmillan
has kept him thus far out of Jail.
Governor Boies rescinded
Governor Larrabee's action In sus-
pending his fines during good be-
havlor, and although the supreme
court has decided half a dozen
times on constitutional points Of law
"Stormy" has been doing a
land office business since the orlgi-
nal package decision, and has treated
theWilton bill with contempt. Nc
Millan's plan Is to raise federal
questions and spring the civil rights
,ill on interstate commerce lines;
'ut yesterday Judge Dewey ruled
III his motions out of order, and
old "Stormy" he must respect the
of the court or go to jail.
strange feature is that Mcmillan
3 q prohlbltlonlst, and was a candi-
late for congress on the prohibition
lcket ten years ago, polling enough
'otes to defeat Lacey. He will ge;
writ of habeas corpus to keep
stormy" out of Jail, while he
arrles the question up to the
upreme court again.
