WILL GIYEA CONCERT.

The Equal Suffrage Women VIII Raise
Money for the Scranton Sufferers.
The Women's Equal Suffrage associa-
tion has decided to give an entertainment
to aid the suffering miners at Scranton.
All the details have not yet been agreed
on, but the women expect to give a con-
cert at Hamilton hall next Tuesday
night and charge twenty FIVE cents ad-
mission.
There was an error in the announce
ment Of the meeting at the National yes
terday afternoon, but about a dozen wo-
men were present, among them Mrs L.
o. Case. Dr. Eva Harding, Miss Gracia
Hart, Mrs. s. C Hart, Mrs. II. B. Hibben
and Mrs. Goodwin.
The plans were talked over in a gen
eral way, and it was announced that the
very best musical and literary talent in
She city would be provided to the cause
free of charge. Among those mentioned
were the Modocs, the Wyatt sisters. Prof.
Leib's singers and possibly MarshalPs
band.
The women are very careful in the
work they are doing for the miners and
their families. They have personally in
Vestigated every case they have under
their care. Mrs. Hart asked seven
or eight of the miners what their
earnings were last month, and not one
amounted to So; one was as low as So so.
Mayor Nixon, who is a miner, only got
81 Al for his last months work
The women are sending lots of goods
down in the way of clothing. Two large
boxes went today. The reform school
donated twelve suits of clothes.

THE TRIENNIAL RAIN.
In Some Places in Western Kansas
Eight Inches Fell
IRRIGATION not RETARDED, HOWEVER

These Rains, Which Are in the Nature
OF CIOudbursEs. Not to BIO Depended
On-State House News.
Secretary Coburn of the state board OF
agriculture is receiving some wonderful
accounts of the recent rains which have
fallen in western Kansas.
The correspondents of the board OF
agriculture are now sending in their
monthly reports and almost every report
contains postscript with an account OF
the big rainfall.
The rains have been particularly heavy
in that part of the state known as the
arid region. In some counties where the
ground has not been thoroughly soaked
for years, everything is swimming In
water
Most of the reports tell about from two
to four inches of rain having fallen, but
the most wonderful report comes from
Norton county. A STATE JOURNAL re-
porter saw the letter of the correspondent
at Norton who says his county has been
thoroughly drenched, the first time for
years, and says that between eight and ten
inches of water has fallen in that county
in four days.
This is d big rain story, but Secretary
Coburn says his CORES Ondent is perfect
ly reliable and he has other Information
which corroborates the statement
These big rains are so infrequent, how
ever, that the people will go right ahead
putting in their irrigation plants. They
have been fooled too often.

NO GOOD PROOF MADE
That George Burghart Was Con-
nected With loves Downfall.
THE EVIDENCE WAS so FLIMSY

That the Case Against Mr.. Rur%hart
Was at Once Observation-Disclosures
offered TO Prove Lowe Was Not
Drunk But Dragged.
The trial of George Burghart in police
court this morning for assault was really
the trial of Police Officer John Lowe for
drunkenness. George Bnrghart was not
convicted.
The trial occupied nearly the entire
forenoon and every detail connected with
loves actions Saturday night were re-
hearsed over and over again. Very little
attention was paid TO the charge against
Burghart for assaulting Lowe and it was
evident that the aim was to exonerate the
officer.
One side of the case was very fully
heard and that was the side going to
show that Lowe was not drunk The ev
dence connecting George Burghart with
the assault was so fimsy that Police
Judge Ferry dismissed the case without
hearing a single witness on the other
side.
VIM Harris, Frank More, A. c. Toll
man, John c. Bowes, Levi Scott, proprie
tor OF the Cremerie restaurant, and
Mike Thompson testified that they saw
Lowe at various times during the night
and be was not drunk and appeared not
to have taken any liquor.
Policeman Art Wellman told about
finding Lowe in the alley near the Santa
Fe offices about o'clock in the morning.
II came to the Copeland hotel with
officer Lucas" he said, ''and when just
in front Of the hotel we heard noise in
the alley. We ran across the vacant lots
and found Lowe sitting in the alley.
There were three men with him. The
only one l knew was George Burghart.
He and one of the other men had hold of
loves arms. One Of the men said get
up get up" just as we came up
E'Lowe seemed to be hurt. His face
was bloody and his head was held on one
side. One of the men who were holding
him said that a crowd had been beating

Mrs. Tony Smith, the white wife of the
man who had just testified, was called
next She was the last witness before
the noon adjournment
Mrs. Smith is a careless looking WON an

general way she confirmed all that her
