GLADSTONE carried his Home Rule
bill through the House of Com

vote of 347 to 304. It was q great
triumph for Gladstone.
Mr.. Balfour said that he could
not believe that this childish imita-

States would ever commend itself
to the judgment of the British peo

There is great excitement in Scran
ton today over the mysterious dis
appearance last night of Mr.. Joe
Cook, nephew and bookkeeper of
Mr. j P Clay ton, one of the most
prominent merchants in Scranton.
When last seen Mr. Cook was seated
at his desk in Clayton's store post
ing up his books.
This morning at 6 o'clock the
store was found as the negro left it,
with the lamp still burning Cooks
hat and vest were found on the
desk. The safe was securely locked,
but had been rifed of its contents,
amounting to $500 to $1,000 No
trace of the missing man could be
found anywhere.
MIR. Cook was young man about
25 years of age, of an excellent
character and we'll to do.
At l p. m. party was organized
to search for Joe Cook, the missing
man. At2 o'clock the Hon George
Matthews, ex mayor of Scanton, &C
companied by J. G. Monroe, found
Cook lying on his back in a pool of
water at Blackberry swamp, about
two miles east of Scranton and a
half mile south of the railroad, and
though shot five times with 80
callber pistol, viz: twice in the back,
once in the right breast, once in the
side and once in the face, he was
still alive and able to talk.
He was brought to Scranton, to
the residence of Mr.. Clay ton, where
he was attended by Drs. W. R. Kell
and Robert Lowery, who pro-
nounced his wounds probably fatal
At 3p. m Cook made his dying
statement before the Hon. A. G.

lows:
Il was busy at work on the books
up to between 10 ana IL o'clock,
when two white men came into the
store with pistols and told me to
hold up my hands, which I did.
They then took the contents out OF
the safe and told me to go ahead OF
them, as they would not hurt me-
When they got me in the woods the

ABOUT RAIN MAKING.

There has been theorizing and discus
sions galore Of the subject Of producing,
or more properly of provoking rain fails
throughout the country and particularly
in the west during the past few years,
the subject beng considered of sufficient
interest to prompt the agricultural de-
partment of the government to expert
ment along that line quite extensively.
The present season has witnessed less
effort in that connection than for several
past, though occasion has demanded
more than any spring season for years.
While great many peODie doubt the
feasibility, not to say possibility. of pro-
ducing ram at any time, it seems to be
settled by practical demonstration that
precipitation may be facilitated when the
conditions are right. An instance of this
occurred at Wellington 4 short time
ago, a brief account Of which was
furnished the Mail of that place by
Mayor Savage, the experimenter, from
which account we excerpt the subjoined
salient points:
''For nearly three months there has
been 4 great lack of moisture in this
part of the state, covering nearly all of
the great wheat belt. D"rinE that time
we have had u great many days when
the clouds hung 50 thick in the sky that
the sun would be hid for DAYS. We
have had several rains during this time

IT Is SUCH MEN as JERRY.

1t is the cotton and the grain OF the
| United States which in being shipped to
| European markets has held the balances
of trade and stopped the flow of gold to
pay for the imports of the past. Then
why don't our cotton and grain in ex-
port stop the present outflow Of gold
There are a number Of minor reasons
but the European dealers are sick and
tired of their losses in these two articles,
brought about, not by their abun dance
and cheapness. but by the uncertainty
there is in dealing in articles the APP
one hundred fold in single day by the
option dealers of the United States. Euro
pean dealers declare that there is no
practical, legitimate basis of value left
them, with the exchanges, so-called of
this great army of option dealers, throw
ing unlimited quantities of imaginary
cotton and wind wheat on the market at
a minutes notice. Real supply and de-
mand only come into rule in some. pinch
where the chances are that these COM
moditieS will, for a day or an hour, rule
unreasonably high. 1t is such men as
Jerry Simpson who prove to be the tools
of the short seller and the bear, that not
only beat the producers out of their
rights, but who destroy our market
abroad by ther refusal to vote for a law
which would have wiped out class of
gamblers who are not permitted in any
other civilized country on the globe.
