TINE ROCK ISLANDS RAIN MAKER.


TOPEKA, Kan, June l.-Clsyton Is.
Jewell, superintendent of rainmaking for
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
road, arrived in the city en- route for south
western Kansas, where he will try to break
the drought which has continued almost un-
interruptedly for more than eight months.
Mr.. Jewell was for lumber of years
train dispatcher for the Rock Island at
Goodland. While he was there Frank
Melbourne visited the town and made some
experiments in rain making with indifferent
success. Jewell discovered his method of
working and began experiments on his own
account He continued these for more
than year. Now the people in the vicln-
ity of Goodland have confidence in bis abil-
ity to cause rain te fall almest at will.
Finally the officers of the Rock Island
fitted up laboratory for him in n car and
sent him over their lines in the Northwest.
For six weeks he operated under the
auspices of the company, and now the Of
ticers have made preparations to have INN
carry out his plans on an extensive scale.
Mr.. Jewels operations have been kept
from the public as much as possible. lie
declines to fully explain his methods. He
simply says that he generates gases. which
he sends heavenwa ard. These collect tine
moisture contained in the air into clouds.
With these clouds he establishes electrical
communication, and electrical disturbances
are dilated, resulting in PRECIPITATION. Soon
after he begins operations light clouds be-
ein to gather. The small bodies consolidate
and soon one vast cloud overspreads the
heavens. Then the electrical current is
turned on and the water begins to fall.
In addition TO his chemical apparatus,
Mr.. Jewell has heen supplied with bal
loon, for the purpose of experimenting with
explosives.

WArERvItLE, June - Specials -
There was public meeting of the Weayers
Union in City hall tonight for the purpose of
presenting to the people of Waterviile the
grievances of the weavers and the various
causes which led to the strike of last FRI
day. This is the first trouble of this kind
of any great importance which has ever oc-
CURED in this city, end for the people who
have never had occasion to consider the
various questions which may have arisen
was the meeting called this evening.
City hall was crowded to its fullest capa-
city. The meeting was called to order by
the president of the union, Arthur j. Pom
SAINT, who called Fred w. Clair, Esq, to
the chair Hon. S. S. Brown and e--Mayor
Jones expected to be present but were un-
able to do so
In taking the chair. Mr.. Clair made a
few remarks in which he expressed his hope
that the trouble would sool be settled.
A. J. Ponsaut spoke in French few
moments, after which Mr.. Will Coverett
was introduced, who gave brief history of
the union in this city. This gentleman
went in April to Lewiston, Biddeford, Saco
and all other large cotton manufacturing
places in this State, and found that the pay
at the Lockwood was at least 10 per cent.
less than in other places, and thus the rise
they ask for. The strikers do not ask an
abolishment of the fining of cloth, but a
gauge of prices. That is, if a weaver
makes first quality cloth to have first quail
ity pay if he makes second quality, to re-
eeive less pay.
The weavers also ask for better treat
ment from the overseers. The weavers,
who are largely ladies are, according to the
statements made in this meeting subject to
abusive, insulting language from the over
seers.
The strikers are determined to stand firm.
They have made their demand of the com
pany which stands silent and they will now
demand settlement or leave the city.
Mr.. G. c. Sheldon of Colby was the next
speaker. HIS remarks were upon the third
demand, that for better treatment. This
gentleman has investigated and found that
more than - of the women strikers have
received from the overseers language which
was profane, obscene and brutal.
The strikers seem to have the sympathy
of "A large portion of the citizens, especi-
ally those present this evening. They have
won this in no small degree by the perfect
order they have maintained since the
strike.

eating that there is an empire behind it.
The foreigner, who of course knew but lit

many states; be is surprised at the display

American, it is impossible for him to walk
down the avenue Of states without a feel

almost to exaltation. Chicago did mag

for battle ship system of protected tops
that will afford position of superior accom-

Great strategic advantages are supposed
to be made available from this arrangement,
as it will enable the officer directing the
movements of the vessel to see perfectly
