Rain-making a Failure.

Secretary Morton has received a
large number of inquiries from all
parts of the country as to the results
of the Agricultural Departments
rainfall experiments, and the feast
bility of controlling precipitatlons by
means of explosions. The following
circular is being sent by the depart
ment to all inquiries:
Replying to your letter as to RAIN
making experiments, | have to inform
you that in no case did they pass the
merely experimental stage, and that
prospect of ultimate success Is not
such as to Justify farmers and other
citizens in rain-making experimental
ton. In this determination, judg-
ment and opinion, l am supported by
the scientists and other alleged ex-
perts in meteorology connected with
the United States Weather Bureau.
The bombardment of the skies for
water, as carried on by this depart
ment, did not produce results calcu-
lated to inspire the hope that any
method of conclusion can be made
commercially successful in precipltat-
ing the moisture from the clouds.

A Sad and Mysterious Death.

The community was shocked on
Wednesday morning after hearing OF
the death of Carl, the seventeen-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. David We'll,
of this city. Several months ago
Carl, who had started to learn the
drug business with Mr.. C. H. Wolfes
in this city, entered the employ of a
drug firm in Camden, expecting
eventually to go to Philadelphia to
take the necessary pharmacy course
at city college. He was bright
young man and became favOrite with
his employers. 1t is reported that he
had suffered with some brain trouble,
but none of his actions at home here
ever indicated anything wrong with
him. 1t was on Monday night shortly
after midnight that he got up, took
his overcoat and left the store where
he was employed. Some young men
in the same building heard him going
out but thinking nothing strange of
him did not ask where he was going,
They never saw him again. Being
alarmed when he did not return the
next day they telegraphed here on
Tuesday, notifying his parents of his
disappearance. His father went to
Philadelphia at once to search for
him, and identified the body at the
morgue at Camden. He was seen on
Tuesday wandering in the vicinity
where his body was found by parties
who did not know him. 1t is sup
posed he was suffering from mental
alteration and entered a freight
car, fell and became insensible, and
while in that condition (the night was
extremely cold) he froze to death. His
body was discovered on Wednesday

Stole a Diamond Ring.

Mollie Titlow, a dashing young wo-
man, was arrested in Hagerstown
Monday night on a charge of stealing
a $50 diamond ring from Jeweler
Harry Reisner. She asked to see a
tray of rings, and the jeweler claimed
that one of them was missing when
she left the store. When the officers
called at her house she arranged her
hair. In Justice Bitners office she
was ordered to take down her hair,
which she did. No one saw her take
a ring from the coils, but Constable
Shaffer heard the noise of a ring fall
ING at the other side of the room. A
search in the direction Of the sound
brought a ring, which Mr.. Reisner
identified as his. Mr.. Reisner has
missed several valuable rings IN the
same way. Justice Bitner held Miss
Titlow for the action Of the May term
of the circuit court.
