RAINMAkERs' ERA.
Melbourne Has Undertaking Rivals at
Points in the West.


TOPEKA, Kan, March 15.-The ex-
periments of Melbourne at Geodland, in
this state, have left an unexpected
crop of rainmakers who claim to have
discovered his secret and who are now
ready to Gupplant irrigation for a CON
sideration. Two companies have been
incorporated and have proposed to make
contracts with counties at 5000 a county,
engaging to secure from one to two
inches of rain under each contract.
These companies are much more
liberal than WAS Melbourne. as they
will sell the secret, with but one condi-
ton attached that they will not use it
IN adjoining counties and thus ruin
good territory. The rain must also be
confined to the county purchasing, for
this great boon is not free. The secret
has been placed at the nominal price of
$4,000 per county, which it is claimed is
cheap, as rain can then be produced
whenever wanted.
In order to make good their claims as
successful operators" the two COM
panles have men at work in California
and Arizona experimenting in dry re-
gions. Most favorable reports have been
received from these. kilograms from
Messrs. Borders and Linders, two of the
agents, Indicate that one and one-haf
inches of rain was produced at Pixley,
in California. The immediate result
was the sale Of fifty shares of stock at
par value.

visitor and his fashionable wife, who was
with him.
The dinner went off with success. The
rich man was jovial fellow and his wife
affable. The Texans, however, felt little
nervous lest they should commit some
breach OF the proprieties, and they WATCHED
their guests manners closely. Now, the
rich man was a big eater. not to say a
greedy one, and his wife had to watch over
his meals on account of his health. He
wanted some ice cream, and she protested
to him, under her breath, that it would
surely make him i'll. He insisted, and she
dilated on the discomforts of sickness in a
Texan town. 1t was no use. Finally she
said: "Well, if you will have it, Henry
put some brandy on it, for PHYS sake
That may save you from cramps in your
stomach, which your obstinacy richly de
serves and the cream is almost sure to
give you"
SO the rich man poured a liberal dose of
brandy over his ice cream under protest,
declaring that the compound was far from
a luxury When he glanced around the
table and was about to apologize for his
queer taste, he saw people on both sides of
the table gravely deluging their ice cream
with brandy. New York Tribune.

pampered in the Governments Service.

To illustrate the difficulties which attend
a claim against the government may be
mentioned the case of Colonel B., who
raised regiment for the Union army in
Pennsylvania. He was made colonel of it
and was ordered to Washington. While
there he was kidnapped and shut up for a
long time in the old Capitol prison. The
whole affair is mystery which will never
be solved probably, At all events, the I'M
fortunate man having disappeared another
officer was appointed to his command and
he led the regiment to the field Investi-
cation made years later showed that Colo

equipping these troops, His petition for

kept going. Finally some poison was
