A POINTER on RAINMAKING.

Within four hours after the expiration
of George Matthews contrac. to make rain
for Winfield. and all the conditions had
been declared unfavorable and the gas
machine closed up, the Lord of the sun
shine and the cloud took a hand and be-
fore night some of the inhabitants of that
burg thought that there was going to be a
veritable food. 1t is reported that four
inches of water fell in some portions of
Cowley county. OF course George will
claim this rain, bnt he will observe that
there was no monkey business after he
had closed up shop. Elijah after he had
done up the heather by burning up their
sacrifice in time of hot winds and dfouth
by fire from heaven, knew where to 20 for
rain. He didn't fool around with any old
tin cans of chemicals, but Topped down on
his knees and went to praying. And the
conditions Were not favorable either, 1t
will be remembered The day was a
scOrcher among those Judean hills with
high barometer and a stiff wind right of
the desert around the Dead sea. There
was only one cloud in sight, about as big
as mans hand. and i5 was a good while
working up. But when the cloud burst
came the old prophet rolled up his IN
mentionables above his knees and lis out
for shelter. not even waiting Tor his pay.
II George would exercise more OF Elijah )
faitn, do less pumping and more praying,
we think his rains would be more sure to
come before the expiration OF contract
time

The meeting was the result of a call
issued by the German American League
of Sedgwick county for mass conven-
ton, and the most sanguine of is leaders
could not have wished for a better and
more satisfactory result. Leo Won Ian
gen OF Topeka, the state organizer, was
present, and several citizens from the
country attended. Every class of German
American citizen was present irrespective
of political party affiliations, all being
willing to throw aside the cloak OF
party preferences in the great work

Zimmerman, the president of the league
OF this county, called the meeting to order

stand true to the state, their home and

too, was strong and convincing and met
with hearty applause.

Another effort was started yesterday
in New York that will, If successful, bring
something like S5,O0O.00O to citizens Of
Wichita
Richard Woodward, of Msrshallstown,
Pa, commenced suit in the United States
court for the recovery of sixty-iye acres Of
land in the heart Of New York City, now
estimated to be worth 100000, OO0, and
also for land at Troy, New York, valued
also at a high figure.
William Edwards came over from Wales
when a lad, about 1854. and secured the
land in question. About 1913 he leased
the land TO King George III. for ninety
nine years, and the lease expired about
1872. After the lease was made Edwards
went into the revolutionary war and was
never afterwards heard Of His brother
Richard succeeded TO his property, being
the only legitimate heir, as William was d
bachelor when he WAS last heard from.
King George sub-let the property after Sc
curing he lease upon II. After The War was
over the entire tract OF land was occupied
by buildings. When the iuety-nine-year
lease had expired the owners OF the build
| ings wanted TO purchase the ground but
the heirs of Edwsrds could not be found.
Judge Fuller, of New York, took the mat
ter in hand and ia an Incredibly short time
he had about $50 alleged heirs found
Now the number has grown to 200. A lew
years ago they met in st. Louis and APP
pointed Mr. Woodward their Representa-
tive. The occupants of the property also
organized aud offered to settle the claim
for 10 cents on the dollar. but strange to
say majority of the supposed heirs re-
fused this although it would give each aud
every one of them about 500, 600.
The heirs in this city are Anderson
Bros, the grocers, ana Captain Edwards,
proprietor of the Kentucky hat store.
Captain Edwards seems to have direct evil
dence of the validity of his claim, for there
Is now il his family the chest which the
original owner of the land, William Ed
wards, brought over from Wales with
him. This chest contained papers belong
ing to its owner and some of them are
stlll held in the family aud. in fact in the
chest. The name William Edwards Is
also on the chest, which identifies il be

wards. While the captain seems to have
valid claim to the relationship of Will

and says that he would rather have 500, =
900 now than 81 900, 900 after his death.

PIG AT a CANDY PULL.
Surprise of the Porker when he Dipped
His Nose In the Dish.

Surprise Of the Porker when he Dipped
His Nose In the Dish.
Pretty nearly everyone knows or
ought TO know what an old-fashioned
''candy pull means 1t used to beat
the apple bees" and such other coun-
try affairs away out Of sight, and was
q much sweeter way of enjoying win
ter evening, says the Hartford Courant.
1t CHANGED recently that a family in the
outskirts of the city thought they
would indulge the children in one Of
these pastimes, and things were made
ready. II was just at the end of the
last snow, and when the molsSses had
bser boiled sufficiently and had been
tried" by dropping q few drops on q
bit OF snow, the dishful was placed on
the snow just outside the door the
quicker 10 cool of and be ready for
pulling. Some half-grown pigs had
been capering about the yard. likely to
keep warm. and one of them CHANGED
70 come upon the dish of sweet stuff,
which oy that time had become con-
siderably cooled off on the surface. so
that when the fellows nose touched II
II was not in the least uncomfortable.
The superstition is that with his usual
avariciousness. the fellow plunged his
'snout" away down to the bottom OF
the vessel. Naturally he got pretty
warm reception when he hit the mid
die of the mess, and quite naturally,
too, he pulled-pulled for dear life.
The half-cooled caEdy stuck 70 him
like a leech, and with an audible grunt
he fed as best he might. The people
who were chatting within while the
cooling process was going on hurried
to the door just in time to see piggy
lighting out, candy and al, for free
dom. They gave chase, but they might
as we'll have tried to catch a cyclone.
The youngster finally run himself out,
so to speak, the candy having mean
time cooled out sufficiently 70 make it
quite difficult matter 10 remove the
encunbrance from the poor brute's
nose. 1t is understood that the pull
that was down for the evening was IN
definitely postponed.
