Arrested for Stealing Corn.
Saturday officers Smith and Fo-
glesong arrested David Noalo for
stealing corn from MIR. Capehart's
fold, going their during the night
and shocking it out. Whom arrest
cd he gavo in and implicated Harry
Phelps, Prico Burgo and number
of othors. This has boon going on
for some time but they nevor could
catch them, and on Saturday night

"Do you know" said prominent
steamboat captain that l am begin
ming to believo that the electric
light, electric power and othor eIec-
trical manufacturing plants, are
having an effect in diminishing the
rainfall. We are not having the
amount of rainfall wo ought to, nor
that wo used to have, and thoro is i"
cause for it. OF course, do not
say that my theory is "tho theory"
but l want you to koep your eyes
open on this thought, and l believe
that within year you will find that
othors beside myself are taking
stock in the theory. The basis of
this gentleman's theory is that all
rain storms are electrical results,
and there is great deal of truth in
it, but that electrical energy pro-
duced by mechanical means has any
effect on the atmosphere or precipi
tations, is, as the Captain remarked,
a theory for which, at least, laymon
are not yet prepared to believe.

the Mayor this morning and fined

leased.
Tho pyramid of ashes in front of
tho County Clerks office grows
beautiful and symmetrical as the
days lengthen. In tho coming
spring time, when the soft zephyrs
of tho semi-tropical south are watt
cd to us it will BIO sodded over with
petunia or portulacca seed and
it's adornment will add greatly to
tho picturesquencss of its surround
ings. There is nothing like the
cultivation of tho ornate.
