He BOMBARDs THE ELEMER Ts.

Near Lincoln, Nebraska, the drouth
has been attacked with a battery OF
twenty-four mortars. At last accounts,
heavens artillery had not replied.
Captain Wright, who commands the
battery, was brayely holding his po-
sition at last accounts and says he will
continue the Commandment until ii
rains, or his ammunition is exhausted.
He has called on the state for a rein
forcement of several thousand dollars,
which had not been sent forward up to
the date of the latest news. Capt.
Wright is sole inventor of new Vi
bratlon theory of rain-making, which
is said to be very successful in wet
weather, but will not stand drouth.
There has been numerous funerals in
which fools furnished the remains, -
but there seems to be material for
many more.

BUILDING CARS IN GEORGIA.

Amerlcus' big sister city, Augusta, is
elated at the fact that the Georgia
Railway is building hundreds of freight
cars in that city, thus establishing an
important enterprise and affording en-
ployment to large number of en-
ployes. Until recently Americas boast
ed such an enterprise and knows the
value thereof to community, and our
people earnestly hope that IN the near
future she Seaboard Railway will
again manufacture its freight cars
here. As the Chronicle correctly says,
the logic of the enterprise is self-as-
sertive GAS we look into it today we
cannot understand why any railroad in
this section should go east and west
for cars - freight cars or the finest of
specials Manufactures of the east
must set the raw material for these
cars from the south. We have been
told of an instance where a southern
railway company gave an order fol
cars to northern house and actually
hauled over its line the wood out of
which the cars were made, freighting
the raw material north in June and
getting it back in the shape of cars il
March. The "un-business" of This is
