They Do Not Object to the Production of

Rock Islander Anxious to Convince the
World That He Is Not Fraud.
TOPEKA, June eO.-C. B. Jewell, the
Rock Island rainmaker, has a scheme
on hand now which is causing the Popu.
list administration great deal of wor-
ry. He announced Monday that he
proposed to convince the people of the
state that he could bring ddwn rain,
and would go to Chicago anil during
Kansas week in September food the
worlds fair with great downppurs.
He said if that would not satisfy the
most stubborn he didn't know what
would. His scheme is to operate from
the Kansas building in the fair grounds.
and, if not permitted to do that, he will
set up his tent on the outside and food
Chicago with water. He believes that
if he can make rain fall at the fair he
will convince the world that there is
something in his method. He has Sc.
lected Kansas week because thousands
of Kansans will be there.
The state officers object to this
scheme, because they do not want n
downpour of rair when tlfsa;a StNs. Chi
cago to make a big show, and it is Ger.
tain that the board will be urged to see
to it that Jewell shall not be allowed
inside the grounds. Only one member
of the board would be in favor of Jewell
making his test in the Kansas building
and he is Major Anderson, who is as
sistant general passenger agent of the
Rock Island.

CHASED GIRLS.
John Do/an's Lark at the VaIIey
Mills,

A man named John Dolan got fair
sized "jag" on yesterday, and while un-
der the influence of the liquor made
things interesting In the Valley Worsted
mills on Valley street.
Dolan had formerly been employed
there, and in some manner managed to
get into the mill during the noon hour.
In the mill there are numerous girls en-
ployed. and Dolan sigDalized his advent
by chasing them about the shop. The
women ran hither ann thither shrieking
with terror, trampling on each other in
their frantic efortsSep escape Dolan who
pursued them with persistency worthy
of q better cause.
AT length the noise and turmoil dis
turbed the noon hour nap of the overseer,
man named Champaign, and he inn
mediately arbitrated with Dolau. Dolan
however was feeling exceedingly gay and
showed his affection for the overseer by
pulling his whiskers and slapping his
face vigorously Whereupon, the women
oil screamed and the overseer's daughter
promptly tainted away. aud then the
women screamed gain.
The clerks in the Office were notified
am one OF them rushed to the phone
and called up the sixth police station.
Lieutenant Darv went there, but the
superintendent refused to prosecute the
man and Dolan was led from the build
ing and all owed to depart.

Yesterday morning a young

and asked for Mr.. Dingee. He was in
formed that he would arrive in a short
time, and was given seat. But he could
not sit, he could not stand, in fact the
young man was in an exceedingly nerv-
Gus condition.
Al last Mr.. Dinges came, and the
stranger was informed of mis- arrival.

before Commissioner Blodgett, who
adjudged them probably guilty and sent
them to the grand jury. by wnom true
bill was found. The men themselves
were com nparatively penniless, but their
case was taken up by the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's union, who engaged the SER
vices OF ID. j. Morrison OF Boston,
attorney for the union.
Attorney Morrison tried to end the case
at the start by interposing a demurrer
maintaining that the men were not
shipped by United States shipping COM
missioner, and consequently were not
amenable TO the laws governing men so
shipped. judge Carpenter overruled the
demurrer for the present and the trial
Captain Thompson, who was first put
on the stand, stated that he had shipped
the men from Boston at Salem June =.
There was no trouble that day, but tn Q
next morning the men refused to obey
orders to fail to aud get the
ship in readiness to sail. They
gave as reason for Noncompliance
