o'clock they seemed to be coming to-
ward each other from every direction
and about that time the bombardment
was stopped and shortly thereafter the
rain began falling. Whether the use of
this explosive caused the great amount
of rainfall which followed we cannot
prove. Many give it great deal of
credit while others make all manner of
fun about it, but one thing is true and
that is that we got one Of the best rains
for years and more than the surround
ing country; consequently it did no
harm and may have done great deal of
good. The theory worked upon is not
that the conclusion caused by explo-
sives viii produce rain, but that it will
create storm center, condense the
moisture in the atmosphere and clouds
about us, and cause it to fall in the
shape of rain. On Friday afternoon
eight or ten persons met and organized
as the Rain Maker association with

Ogallah Items.
BY KETCHUM.

Rev. James and bride were given re-
ception at the j. P. Marquand residence
Wednesday. Some sixty or seventy
were reported to us as being in attend
ance After congratulations were ex-
tended sumptuous dinner was served.
All joined in an all around good old FASH
toned time.
The wheat crop which now looks fine
in this part of the county has been put
long way toward an abundant crop by
the rains of both Monday and Tuesday
evenings. Farmers are once more rid
ing on the top wave of high anticipation.
Western Kansas, it would seem, has be-
come disgusted with some of its chronic
habits, has flung them of, at least for
time, and now seems inclined to come
out in Sunday raiment. We are rejoiced
to say good morning to you, we have
been anxiously looking for you for
some time.
CLOSING DAY,
It was made most abundantlv evident
by the attendance of almost the entire
community, at the closing exercises of
Ogallah school Wednesday, that our peo-
pie are appreciative of an honest effort
and are ready always to encourage and
applaud wide awake public school. Mr..
BARCLAYS term of school was success,
the closing day was successor. A dim
ner we had to be sure. It would not be
an Ogallah affair if the dinner was left
out. Old calamity never shut down his
cloven claw too tight for that, and it is
hoped that he never will. The feast of
good things was not confined to what we
had to eat alone; we had greater feast
than this in hearing the well prepared
pieces recited in most creditable man
ner. Some of them never having been on
the stage before. The Misses Edna and
Blanche Mapes did themselves and the
school credit in the mastery manner
in which they recited their several
pieces. ''The Closing Day" by Miss
Blanche was especially fine. Master
Judd Yetter sustained his former well
earned reputation in the ''Irishman
Honton job" Johnnie Harrison al
ways knows what he has to say and says
it with a will and fires it right at Lbs aud
fence. Many others are deserving of
compliments, though we see we are get
ting this drawn out. Short talks were
made by E. D. Wheeler, Superintendent
Peacock, G. G. Ridgway and G. G. Yetter,
closing with congratulations to the
school and the teacher for their achieve
ments. Miss Clara McCollum paid a
high compliment to the schools enter
tainment and the exercises closed, all go
ing away feeling well paid for their visit
to the closing day OF the Ogallah school.
