CAME IN TORRENTS
Over an Inch Of Rain Fell Lasl
Night
HAIL AND WIND ALSO
But Not Enough to Do Much
Damage.
III AND WIND ALSO

over an inch Of rain fell in this city
last night. About o'clock q heavy cloud
came up from the north and a few min
utes after that hour the wind began to
blow and the rain came down in torrents.
About s o'clock light hail storm came
up. but the stones were scattered and did
not do any damage here. as far as could
be learned last night.
About $50 o'clock the rain slackened up
a little, but there was z drizzle to Il
o'clock. The sewers could not carry off
the water fast enough. At the corner Of
Water street and Douglas avenue the
water was all over the street and covered
the sidewalks about three inches. When
the street cars went along they left a
wake ike a river steamer. The cross
ings were washed away and were float
ing around in the middle of the street
Several persons who started home after
the rain and reached those crossings did
not think that the water was so deep.
and stepped off. They went IN up TO their
knees, and then began to say mean
things about the city for not having
crossings that would not swim away
whenev little rain came along.
At the corner of Topeka and Douglas
avenues, the condition was even worse.
Here the water came IN from both dlrec-
TOMS and backed up almost into the Of
fee Of the Manhattan hotel. The water
was a foot deep in the middle of the
street there.
It was real old-fsshioned summer
thunder shower, the kind that has not
been seen in this country for about six
months. During the first part of the
storm there was considerable wind, but
this died down as soon as the rain slack
ened. The rainfall during the storm was
1t inches.
It is the first good rain that has visited
this city since May q. There was a
small storm two weeks ago. but it did
not amount to much. There was also one
four weeks ago tomorrow morning, but
only about thTee-quarters of an inch Of
rain fell ar that time

FOR EARLY VOTE
Forenoon Ballot Desired in
Park Bond Election.
NEXT TUESDAY THE TIME
What the Individuals Vote
Means TO Wichita.
QEXT TUESDAY THE TIME

Local interest in Wichita now centers
on the election next Tuesday for the
voting Of the park bonds. The city IS to
purchase from the Dold Packing com
pany land which is to be made into a
park. On the voting Of the bonds is con
ditioned the rebuilding Of the Dold pack
ing house. It is to be rebuilt greater than
ever.
In an election where there is no con-
troversy. it is always extremely difficult
to get out the vote. A certain per cent
of the citizens forget; and unless there
IS agitation some never know Of it
But it Is vital that next Tuesday morn
ing every citizen should have the park
bond election in mind. The best way to
keep II in mind, the individual VIII find,
is to make the resolution to vote in the
morning after breakfast. Other duties,
which come Up every day and VIII come
up election day, are then precluded from
preventing the casting Of his ballot. If
a man determines now not to forget next
Tuesday, and determines to vote in the
forenoon, next Tuesday noon viii see his
ballot cast.
No election ever held in Wichita has
been more important than the coming one.
To halt in the endeavor to become the
great pork packing center Of the west
now, would be ruinous. When the Dold
fire came, Wichita was on the high road
to ascendancy IN the great territory that
reaches from Central Kansas to North
remedy it. is now Tichitas duty not only,
but her necessity, also.
If the people win turn out and cast
their ballots, the sun next Wednesday
morning will rise on a new Wichita, a
Wichita with her face again set for vic
torious progress
II the retention here Of two thousand
souls were all at stake that would be
enough.
But the issue is greater than that. The
issue is the future Of Wichita. the demon
stration that where the corn grows and
the porker turns the corn into fat, there
he should be packed for the tables Of the
world; that the community which is sur
rounded by a great pork rodumingp
rounded by great pork producing area
should have the profit Of turning the
raw product into the finished one. should
have the population and wealth that ac-
companies the great market its packing
interests win make.
IN each individual the fortune OF Wich-
tia lies. Indifference or forgetfulness next
Tuesday morning would be unpardona-
BE. The casting the ballot is manda-
tory. Neglect OF it would not be without
its penalty.
