ments were Investigated. And also alas
for the dignity of club women, nearly
every Atlasite rode on the merry-go-
round, without an excuse in the shape
Of small fry. True. there were four chill
dren present. but not enough to go
around. And. worst of all. they bought
tickets by the half dozen. six for a quar-
ter. thereby getting an extra one.
Then they had luncheon, decidedly al
fresco. And as 1t was simply raining
"cats and dogs and 1.-The cats fighting
the dogs" it was served on a long table
in the main building. Coffee was
brought in from the cafe, as fires were
out OF the question. Everything indi-
gestible and delicious was provided,
pickles Of every kind, hard boiled eggs,
deviled eggs, sandwiches by the hum
dreds and made of everything known to
culinary art. Pies were barred. but
there was cake in all its variety. Olives,
cold meats and dainty relishes. And. to
end the feast. Strawberries and cream
was served. with cherries and other
fruits. II
Before the merry crowd left the table,
President E. A. Gilbert handed around
mysterious slips of paper and pencils
Each one was to-write down the day
she thought Mrs. Gilbert was born on,
it being Mrs. Gilbert's birthday. Only
four guessed successfully (Tuesday), and

Corn Belt Gets Some Light Showers
Lower Temperatures.
Washington, July %. - The past
twenty-four hours probably have been
the most favorable to the states of the
corn belt since the existing hot wave
began, nearly forty days ago. Rains,
generally light in amount, have fallen
in Western Kansas, Western Nebras.
ka, Southwestern Missouri, Central
Iowa, Arkansas and little in Okla
homa, and the prospects seem to be
favorable for continuation to-day Of
more numerous showers in these states
and territories. On Sunday showers
are looked for in Northern Illinois and
Northern Indiana. Still, there has
been no general rain, OF which the
crops stand in so much need, and there
are no immediate prospects of any. On
the whole, the weather bureau officials
here regard the situation as somewhat
improved. Incidental to the rains the
temperatures officially reported yester-
day were somewhat lower than Thurs
day.. However, they ranged from 80 to
100 in the corn belt.

OPERATIONS OF AN ALLEGED BAND
OF TICKET FORGERs
CHECKED. 4.
RAILROADS LOSE THOUSANDS
Chicago Ticket Broker, Said to he
the Head of q Gigantic con.pir-
acy. IL Arrested - Accused Of
Turning Ont Railroad Tickets
From Private stamping MILL
More Arrests Promised.

Chicago, July 2S.-In the arrest Of
Frank E. Rice, a ticket broker, at his
place of business, No. 1876 Clark street.
detectives of the Western Passenger
association claim they have unearthed
a conspiracy to defraud Western rails
roads out of large sums Of money, and
that the operation of band of ticket
forgers of whom they say Rice was
the leader and instigator, have been
effectually checked
The exact amount the railroads have
already lost through the operations OF
the alleged band is not known at pres
ent, but it is thought the losses will
amount to several thousand dollars.
Rice was arrested on charges of
forgery and conspiracy. The case will
probably be at once made the subject
of grand jury investigation. The de.
tectives accuse Rice of turning out
railroad tickets from private stamp
ing mill located outside Of Chicago.
Rice, they say. would not sell the
tickets for terminal points. His OBJ
ject, they charge, was to have every
ticket issued returned direct to him.
To accomplish this he would issue the
ticket for a station some miles beyond
the destination of the passenger, and
this, according to the charges against
him, would prevent the taking UP Of
the ticket by the conductor. With
each ticket Rice is said to have issued
a sight draft for rebate, thus insur-
ing the return of the ticket to his own
hands.
Rice was arrested three years ago on
charge of handling stolen passes on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
He was also arrested last year in New
Orleans on the charge Of fraudulently
manipulating tickets. In Rice's office
We're found various devices for dating
tickets and acids used for erasing pur-
poses. Detective Harrington said that
more arrests would be made to-day.
