TIE New York Sun prints a v

The New York Sun prints very in
structive and interesting review of
the wheat situation throughout the
world. 1t points out that EurOpe's
requirements are each year about A.
100000 bushels greater than the year
before, on account of the increase in
population. Wheat producing in
Europe is decreasing. and the present
years requirement of 5000. 900, or
little over million bushels per day,
will probably be less than what will
be needed for years to come. The San
says that with liberal estimate India
may furnish 4O,O0O.O00 bushels If
our crop yields $50, 100000 bushels
we may be able to spare. with the
surplus of 1892, as much as 26,000.-
900 bushels. On the most favorable
showing there must be deficiency OF
64.000,00 bushels. and then leaves no
reserves to be carried over.

The Pharisees of the country are in

The Pharisees of the country are in
a perfect rage over the opening of the
worlds fair gates on Sunday. Like
their prototypes of old they "are
straining at a gnat and swallowing a
camel" AS a matter of duty the
worlds fair ought to be closed on Sun
day to give rest and recreation to the
thousands of employees who labor in
side the gates. As to the absence of
the Sabbath, if the conditions of the
producing classes were as they should
be, there would be far greater respect
for the Sabbath than there is, and un-
til the churches address themselves to
the duty of improving mans temporal
conditions, their loud professions of
sympathy for his spiritual welfare will
sound more of hollow mockery than
anything else.

The CoodIand Rainmakers.

The Rock Island rainmakers made
two experiments at this place this
week. They occupy a common box
car. that is divided into two cOmpart-
ments, one for labor, the other for
sleeping. From the car run two wires
that are connected with the telegraph
system of the company, and when the
apparatus is in operation the full force
of all batteries between Colorado
Springs and the Missouri river is turn
ed on. This electric force is added to
by powerful battery carried on the
car. just how the machine works, no
one outside of the operators knows.
Work was commenced at the depot
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. At
that time the sky was almost clear.
Four generators were used, each max
1900 gallons of gas per hour. This
gas. highly charged with electricity, is
projected into the air through two
2-inch pipes. and assembled into space,
meets in the air other rain producing
gases, thus forming clouds and lain.
At times this section lacks certain
properties necessary for rainfall. These
the rainmaker seeks to supply. As to
results At o'clock, Tuesday even
ing. this section was visited with a
nice shower of rain, and the rain
maker turned oft his machine. In the
morning he commenced again. Last
night deluge accompanied by high
wind cam down from the northwest
In an hours time almost two inches of
rain fell. Just how tar this storm ex-
tended is not at present known. The
rainmaker, Mr.. Jewell, and his assist
ant, Mr.. Hutchinson, claim credit for
it. The Rock Island road pays all ex-
penses, some $500 per week, and must

ments would be stopped. The opera
tors say that their system has not as
yet been fully developed, but that
they are psrfecting their process with
each trial. So far this year, at every
point where they have been at work,
rain has fallen, from within six hours
to five days.
This rainmaking business is either
one of the biggest fakes ever known,
or the grandest work ever attempted
by man.-Phillipsburg Herald.

On account of cool weather, the
rainmaker could not work last week.
On Monday he opened his chemicals
and before night it was evident he
would succeed. A half inch or more
of rain fell all over the district. 1t
commenced raining here about "a
o'clock and kept it up for three or fonr
hours. The grain needed the rain, ia
fact some pieces were suffering.
Whether Mr.. Morris brought the rain
or not is question. However, he is
entitled to his money whether the efe.-
ments helped him or not. J. F. Wat
son was in Doland Sunday and he be-
came convinced that the rainmaker
was a success beyond a doubt. He
says he knows Morris can make it rain
when the temperature is high enough:

The rainmakers arrived Wednesday
morning and are now operating to
produce rain. They commenced work
in the old creamery building Wednes-
day evening. but the weather turned
cold suddenly and they had to stop.
Yesterday morning they resumed
operations and we will know in a short
time whether there is anything in this
method of producing rain or not. Mr..
Morris. who is doing the experiment.
ing, is very confident of success. He
says he has tried several times this
spring and has never failed to precipi-
tate moisture. The contract has been
signed and committee of one from
each county interested has been ap-
pointed to look after this test. The
contract calls for not less than one
half inch of rain to cover distance of
800 square miles. If he is successful
in this test he is to receive $500; if not
he gets nothing and pays his own ex-
penses. The operation to continue

were no Republicans present, and the
session was adjourned until 5 p. M, the
sergeant-at-a1ms being instructed to COM

Swift, having taken the oath of Office,
will present his bond for approval at the
