Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 17.-Not in a month
has Sc much rain fallen aionS the lines
of the Burlington and Union Pacific as
that of last night, in some cases soaking
showers being rep )rted, while IN others
it was a steady downpour for several
hours. While the rain comes too late
for corn, it will help grass considerably,
and that is most needed by farmers III
the drought-stricken districts of the state.
AS result of the exceedingly dry wealth
er in South Platte sections, the Burning
ton has reduced the rate on grain from
Omaha to interior points affected by the
drought for the purpose of giving farmers
who are hard hit by hot winds, a chance
to buy grain TO feed their stock, thus
being permitted to tide over the present
conditions The Union Pacific will fol-
low the lead eli the Burlington, and Will
make the same rates to common points
as the Burlington.
The stories of distress being received by
the railroads are touching, one man haV-
ing killed thirty-five head of horses on
Tuesday near North Platte, rather than
allow them to starVe. There are num-
berless cases of this kind being reported,
farmers being unable to give stock away
because of the inability of people to care
for them properly, after receiving them.
The rain however, of last night, which
was pretty general throughout the west
ern and southern portions of Nebraska,
may assist materially in checking the
Widespread desolation of ruined crops
and therefore ruined homes.

TIME CUT DOWN.
CAMPANIA BEATS ALL PREVIOUS
RECORDS.
Five DAVIS. Nine Hours and Twenty
Minutes in Crossing the Atlantic
Lucania Takes IL Back seat.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Cunard nne
steamer Campania, which arrived TINS
evening from Liverpool and Queens
town. left Daunt's Rock at 12:45 p. M
on August II and arrived at the Sandy
Hook lightship at 5:45 this evening.
Her time of passage was five days
nine hours and twenty-nine minutes,
which beats all previous records by
about three hours and ten minutes.
The CampaDia had, just previous to
sailing, been in dry dock and was In
prime condition for making fast run.
Moderate westerly winds were expert
enced up to August IA, when the wind
veered to the eastward, and there was
fresh breeze.
On crossing the banks on the 18th,
much fog was encountered and it was
necessary to run the engines at reduced
speed for two hours. The wind at this
time veered to northward and con-
tinued to port On the 18th, the steamer
made the remarkably good record Of
545 knots.
The Companies daily runs were SIC,
52S 543, 525, 545 and 126.
The Lucania, the sister ship Of the
Campania, had held the best western
record between Queenstown and New
York since November 8 last, when she
made the voyage in five days twelve
hours forty-seven minutes.
