IT WAS 4 SOAKING RAIN.

Over Three Inches Fell Here Great Benefi Done-The Rain storm Elsewhere-It was of Wide Extent-A Word About the Equinoctial.
 From the official reports it appears that 8. 10 inches of rain fell here Wednes- day during the twenty-four hours. It was soaking rain and did great deal of good. It extended all over this state. Reports from all sections of the state say that great benefit has resulted in increasing the water supplies in wells and brooks and reservoirs.
 l The rainfall in some of the other cities for the twenty-four hours was: Tampa, 3.86; Buffalo, 2.26; Cleveland, 2O6; Bos. ton, 1.5S; Albany, 1.52, and many of the southern cities had over an inch ol rain. .t,'1 '-''. ''A
 Said Mir. Dunn, the New York weather observer, yesterday:
 q heard this morning." said MT. Dunn, "that the children in the public schools are being taught that the suns crossing of the equator brings on heavy storms. This is all wrong. Since have been in this office l have smashed the theory that it always rains on St. Pat rick's day, and also the one regarding a rain following the Fourth of July, and I am now prepared to knock out the idea regarding equinoctial storms.
 "When the sun leaves the north," continued the man of facts, tropical storms usually develop, but it is on ac- count of the great amount of evapOra- tion that takes place in southern lati- tudes, and not on account of the suns proximity to the equator. The evapo- ration during the suns southern trip is rapidly carried into the atmosphere, and that is the principal factor in our storms from the south, and the tropical rainy season.
 1 Tt is not because the sun crosses the equator on a given day that creates storms. There is no more reason to suppose that the sun crossing the equa- tor would spring some trap and give us l storm than there is to suppose the 1 same thing in connection with any par allel of latitude.
 "The fact is that most tropical storms 1 develop and move up prior to the suns crossing of the equator. The sun cross es the equator tomorrow, and you will see if any storm results from it.
 "The storm that we have just had cannot be called tropical one, because it started in the Gulf of Mexico not as 1 storm, but just as a general weather | depression. Then it moved north, de- | veloped center, and the 4.19 inches of rain in this city resulted." ,- The weather yesterday morning was generally fair throughout the country, except in the lake regions, where there l were light rains. It was warmer in the 1 northwest and cooler in the central states.
 The forecast for to-day is fair and slightly cooler.

Notes.

The Salt Lake Democratic Working
mems club again demonstrated'i its feal-
ty to the principles laid down by Jeffer-
son and Jackson in it's meeting last
night. At least 700 people were pres
ent, the hall, at No. 60 West Second
South, being crowded to its utmost
capacity. P. w. Mccartney called the
meeting to order and announced
MORRIS sOMMER
as the first speaker.
Mr. Sommer said that he had come
to America to become an American cit
izen with a big A. He had read the
history of the republic from A to Il
card, and after its perusal had decided
that the Democratic party represented
the principles of democratic republic
canism; that it was the party which
founded this government, drafted its
Declaration of Independence and wrote
its constitution. Then why should any
man familiar with the basis of this
government vote any ticket outside the
Democratic ticket? AS previously re-
marked, the Democracy of this nation
formed this government upon certain
lines. With determination to adhere
TO this primal policy, the Democratic
party has, during all the passing years.
confined it's action to supporting the
FUNDAMENTAL truths originally promuI-
gated.
The speaker then gave a brief his
tory of the Wilson bill and it's effects
upon the various industries of the
United States
Mr.. Sommer read from the clearings
tables of the country, what told elo-
quently of the revival of business.
President Mccartney next introduced
r. W. SLOAN.
That gentleman's speech was a mas
terly review of the action of the Dem
ocrat1c party as regards tariff and sill
yer legislation He clearly demonstrat-
ed that the Mckinley bill was a delu-
SION, while the Wilson act, with its
beneficent provisions, is creating a. re-
y1val OF every interest in the nation.
GEORGE E. BLAIR
then addressed the meeting. Mr..
Blair's speech was a review of the
chronology of the Democratic and Re
publican parties from their inception
to date. 1t was highly appreciated and
vigorously app1auded.
A. S. FERNSTROM
concluded the meeting with a rafting
Democratic speech.

PoLITIcs IN JUAB COUNTY.
Rnviins and Packard VIII Both Get
Coed Maiorftfes.

GOC0 m1JOr11eS.
Mr.. r. C. Wilson, the genial Eureka
boniface, is in town. Speaking of po-
litical matters he expressed 1t as his
opinion that there will be little ques-
ton of the election of the three Demo-
Gratis who have been nominated for the
constitutional convention from Juab
county. and none whatever of the cleo
ton of John Q. Packard, one of them.
Mr.. RawlinS is very popular and it is
freely conceded on all sides that he will
also have, with Mr.. Packard, a heavy
majority of the Tintic votes.
Mr.. Packard is one of the pioneer
capitalists of Eureka, and may be des-
cribed as the father of the camp. The
fact that mining in Tintic has been
demonstrated to be profitable, has been
largely due to the pluck and determina-
tron of Mr.. Packard, who, with Mr.
john Beck, showed full faith in the dis
trict in the hour when it's prospects
seemed darkest. The people of Eureka.
are not ungrateful. They realize how
fully their prosperity and growth are
due to Mr.. Packard. The latter has
never sought an office at the hands OF
the people. He did not seek this nomi-
nation but in compliance with the
wishes of the people of the district,
who feel that he, better possibly than
anyone else, could represent their de-
SlISS ana ueGQS III the SOUVenIlO0s
Packard's name was placed upon the
ticket.
Mr.. Wilson says that Mr.. Packard
employs more men than any private
individual in the county; pays more
wages and more taxes than any person
in the county; mas stood by the miners
by holding up their wages to the last.
and has evinced his friendliness and
sympathy for the laboring man by
erecting, at an increased cost to himself,
a magnificent mill. one of the best in the
western country, in the dead OF last
winter when most other capitalists
feared to invest a dollar.
1t is true that Mr.. Packard has made
conSiderabl money in Eureka, but he
has also spent much of it in Develop
ment work and in improvements. Mr..
Packard is certainly the foremost resi-
dent of the district; no person can
possibly be named who stands equally
well in the affections of the residents Of
the place.
1t may be set down in short, said Mr..
Wilson, that any man who votes
against Mr.. Packard will do so through
the influence of partisan considerations
and against his own interests and the
welfare of Tintic.
