-ONG DROUTH BROKEN:
HELPFUL TO THE CROPS

At last, after a number of cruel
disappointments in which all signs of
rain failed, the drouth which had pre-
vailed in this immediate neighborhood
since July 2 has been broken and the
parching earth has been given a drink
an inch in depth. The first of the
rain came early yesterday morning.
Yesterday shower after shower
formed in the west and passed around,
till it began to look as though some
one with long pike pole were stand
ing on the hill over in Iowa and push
ing the clouds to each side Just to
spite us. Last night, however, this
very busy individual evidently had
more to do than. he could attend to
and a soaking rain came to town.
Farmers say the oats were some
what shocked, but the corn has
pricked up its ears and the potatoes
are roofing for all they are worth.
The general trend of sentiment in the
rural districts has changed from carp
ing pessimism to rosy optimism in a
single night and it is confidently pre-
dicted that this county will have
of normal corn crop

AT BURGLAR
Hugh Curtis Discovers Unbidden
Guest in His Home Satur-
day Night.
DISAPPEARS AS IF BY MAGIC
Police Called, But Unable to Find
How Stranger Got Into
the House.

Hugh Curtis had an experience
Saturday night that has gone far to.
ward strengthening his belief in the
supernatural. He is keeping bach
elor's hall at his home on Second
avenue, the other members of the
family having gone east.
Late Saturday night he was awak-
ened by footstep just outside of his
door and opened his eyes just in time
to see man in the uncertain light Of
tie moon stalk s:ealthily into the
room and approach the dresser which
stood not far from the bed. By this
time Mr.. Curtis was very wide
awake, but he had the presence of
mind to make no movement while the
intruder quietly but swiftly opened
the drawer and searched for valu-
ab!es.
Finally, having apparently satisfied
himself that there was nothing ct
hand he wanted, the stranger turned
toward the door.
Mr.. Curtis waited till he was Just
passing out and then whipped re-
volver from under his pillow aud fired
at the retreating figure.
Mr. Burglar VanIshes
Dead silence followed the shot, and
thinking he had killed his man, MIR.
Curtis started with sickening misgiv-
ings TO investigate. The outer hall
was vacant, and so were the stairs.
The young man was becoming de-
cidedly nervous, but he managed to
strike light and by its aid located
bullet hole in the door. Then, by de-
grees, he searched the house.
Every door was locked and every
screen securely fastened. He called
the police by telephone, and with
a couple of officers again looked
the house over from garnet no cellar.
Not trace of an unlimited visitor
could be fouod, only the empty revol-
yer and the bullet hole in the door.
