The County Foots the Bill.

The board of county commissioners
met in special session yesterday for the
purpose of hearing and finally dispos-
ing of the liquor cases. We had sup.
posed that lie action OF the district
court in this matter was final bnt in
that we seem TO have been mistaken.
The boards action virtually relieves
the applicants from all liability of the
fine imposed by the court as well as
most of the costs accrued in the prose-
cution and conducting of the cases. In
substance the order is as follows: That
the fine shall be void unless the parties
shall engage in the sale of intOxi eating
liquor hereafter, then to be in full force
and effect; that upon payment of the
county attorneys fee of S25 in each
case and one third of the clerks costs.
the defendants shall be released and
await the action of the district court as
to other costs. Provided, however, that
In the event that motion TO re-taX
costs IS sustained, defendants shall not
be liable to imprisonment in default of
payment of the same. In other words,
they shall use their discretion about
the matter i. e. pay if they choose so to
do, If not, the county is to have the
rare privilege. 1t is not difficult TO
forete!l the course they Will pursue.
Commissioners Murray and RowIey
voted for the order. while Commissioner
Wyer went on record as voting against
the measure.
We regret to note that Chairman
Rowley was induced to cast his vote
FOR this resolution or order. Though
honest in the matter, we think he has
made mistake. OF Murray, nothing
otherwise could have been expected.
Our reasons for this statement would
not look well in print neither would
they cast very bright ray of light on
the commissioner of this district. We
have no desire TO see these men-Day.

ty of the law, but we certainly think it
an imposition on the taxpayers to thro W
the burden of costs OH the county. Had
the county been made even on the deal
so much injustice would not have been
done.

Our Rainmakers.

On last Wednesday few of our pro-
fessIonal men 1--WE will call all who had
to do with setting up and operating
the "paratus, professional mem con-
structed the necessary wherewith to
produce rain under the Jewell process.

Kocieil, Dentist G. l.. Sparks and Prof.
Colvin, though several others claimed
certain per cent of the honor. The
experiment took place IN the old black
smithshop formerly occupied by Romig
~ Son. The apparatus Is comparative
ly simple considering the results CLAIM
ed for it. As constructed at this place
1t consists of three 5-galloD churns
nlled with zinc, sulphuric acid and gas
and a battery of twelve cells. The
zinc, acid and water are calculated to
produce hydrogen gas while the cells
furnish electricity which is commune
Gated to the generator by means of q
copper wire. Over these churns are
common stove pipes made to fit with
out leakage, which at distance of
about midway between the floor and
roof are connected into one plpe by
means of elbows, this leading through
the roof. The originators of the
scheme do not claim this invention
will produce moisture but they do claim
to cOndense and precipitate 1t when
contained i'll the atmosphere During
the past week we have had several
experiments and, strange to say, I. ev-
eral showers, thus lending deal of en-
enlargement 10 our local scientists.
The first shower occurred on Thursday
morning when the experiment was had
on Wednesday evening. and another
fine rain fell Sunday night when the
experiment was had on Sunday after
noon. Whether these rains are due
to orr r2inmakers or not is question
on which there Is not the best of har-
mony but we are generous enough to
give them the benefit of the doubt and
say the precipitation was due to their
Efforts until the contrary is proved.
AS long as their work is or seems to
be attended with such flattering results
we will entertain no unfayorable opin-
ion or our professors and hence it Is
not our purpose to pluck one laurel
from their brows. AS lengas we have
the rain we are willing to concede it
to them. Thanks, gentlemen, send
us some more.

Recent winds have blown off a great
deal of fruit.
Mulberries are full crop but most
of them have fallen from the trees.
Perslmmon and yellow.wood trees
are in bloom. Both afford good bee
pasture.
Cherries are ripening but in some or
chards there is not more than one third
OF an average crop.
L notice in Hicks almanac that the
equinox of the planet, mercury, occurs
on Monday, the third day of June and
this nice rain coming at almost exactly
the time of the equinox seems to con.
firm the theory that the equinoxes of
the planets have some influence on the
precipitation and other meteorological
phenomena of the earth.
Sunday was cloudy and windy with
but little precipitation or rain; but dur.
ing Sunday night there were several
good showers and some sharp peals of
| thunder and not much wind. The
rainfall of Sunday and Sunday night
! aggregated LIS inches on level and is
| the best rain we have had this spring.
All are happy over this abundant rain
and discouraged husbandmen will take
heart again.
| Last week we listened to two excel
lent discourses at Medicine Lodge. One
on Sunday by Comrade Engle and one
on Thursday by Comrade Axline. We
are always deeply interested in these
memorial exercises. Two of my broth
ers were with Sherman IN his march to
the sea. Benjamin fell at the battle OF
Eutaw Creek before Atlanta, shot
through the breast, and William was
discharged at the close of the war after
over three years of service. He died
in 1866 about IA months after he re.
turned home.

turist. We are sorry, however, to note
that his fruit crop will be comparative
ly light this season. Peaches, he says,
will be fair crop but the rest of the
fruit will yield unusually light. Mr..
G. attributes this to the sevsre winds
and slight frosts we have had this
spring. What fruit he will have will
De of an excellent quality. He also is
very hopeful for large corn crop this
season but says it will require a large
amount Of rain.

w. Lappin and John Covey deceased
Last Tuesday 146 head of yearlings
worth Sl4 each were sold at private sale
for S4.35 per head. The private sale
seems TO have been worked up in order
To give somebody chance to buy at an

administrator was appointed yester-
day, in the person of J. r LitZ, to take
charge of the cattle and prevent depre-
dations of this character. Even if they
were sold to satisfy mortgage no man
has right to pay such prices when an

Probate Judge Funk is keen,n,

Probate Judge Funk is keeping a
paddy IN close confinement this week.
We suppose he intends to summon a
jury to try his sanity before long. The
PADDY was brought in by Sheriff Mills
and public opinion as to the supposed
invalid's condition is divided. The
physicians have not yet made an exam
ination. The Judge and Sheriff and
also County Treasurer Potes seem to be
in quite n dilemma over the affair.
There is shade of melancholy on the
countenances of these officials that is
pathetic indeed, to say nothing of the
paddy and close confinement in which
he IS kept.
