THE RAINFALL.
All Previous April Records Are
Broken So Far.

Everybody will be ready TO admit that
there has been lot OF rain this month.
and that April has fully lived up to its
reputation, but there are probably only
a few who know just what the rainfall
has been.
Up to o'clock yesterday afternoon the
total rainfall for the month had been
6.e5 inches. which breaks all previous
records for the first q days in April dur
ing the past quarter of a century. Dur
ing the first week of this month the pre-
cipitation amounted 10 over two inches.
The following week there were two
inches more of rain added 10 the record
making precipitation record, and what
the total will be before the first of May
yet remains to be seen.

ASSASSIN SHOOTS FARMER.
Wounded Man Turns Upon His AS
eailaut. Who Fires from Behind.


AT 5 o'clock on a recent morning as
Andrew Miller, wealthy farmer. living
half mile east of Minerva, Ohio, was
climbing from the basement to the hrst
floor of his barn he was shot at from
behind. The bullet took effect in his shoul-
der and he started back down the ladder.
Another shot followed the first one JUST
as he reached the floor. This one pene-
uated his left lung. Although badly
wounded, Miller turned and made for his
would-be slayer, who fred again, but
missed. Then the fellow became fright
ened and ran out Of the barn with Miller
after him. Just as the latter emerged
from the door another shot was fired ana
Miller fell with bullet through ms
cheek He quickly got up, though, and
again started after the fellow and chased
him for several hundred yards until ex-
hausted from the loss of blood. " mo-
tive can be attributed for the deed, unless
an old grudge. Miller stated few min
utes after the deed was committed that
he believed he knew his assailant. The
Miller farm joins President Mckinney s
farm in the northwest corner of ColSm-
biana County.

Echooner Reaches New York with BOX
of Treasure from Africa.
The two-masted schooner Kwaslnd
came into New York with yarn about
a pirate ship and treasure buried IN
nameless coral island somewhere OH the
west coast of Africa. Captain Freder-
lex i. Horton of the KWaslnd SAID ne
had pledged himself not to reveal the lat
itude and longitude Of the island, ana
therefore would not point it out ON the
chart. But he found it, he declares, ana
the representatives of spectators IN pl-
ratical spoils landed OH it and dug out
OF the soil an iron treasure chest OF the
regulation make, containing more than
enough silver and gold to pay for the ex-
pense of the expedition, computed to
have cost about $4,000. The Kwasind
was bought by a syndicate made up OF u
+. Benckenstein of Baltimore, Il. L.
Haring of Cincinnati and Charles spen-
ney of Columbus, Ohio. e. III. Camp
bell of Texas had run across an ancient
mariner in New Orleans, who calls him
self G. w. Henderson. Henderson con-
WINGED Campbell that there was an I'M
mense amount Of buried treasure on the
nameless island off the African coast
Campbell interested the syndicate III the
project, and it was decided to send the
Kwasind cruising for the island. Hen
derson's story was that about forty years
ago, when he was a seaman aboard
SLAYER, the Civil War came on, interrupt
ing the traffic, and the adventuresome
skipper decided to turn pirate. He accu
mulated great cargo Of jewels and bull
lion. When the ship was off the coast OF
Africa the skipper died and the crew
made for the first land, small island
and buried the treasure.

COMMONS VOTE WAR LOAN
British Chancellor Given Authority to
Borrow S3OO.OOO. OOn.

Borrow $30O,OOO,OOC.
The British House of Commons, by a
vote of Ill to 127, authorized the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer to issue a war
loan of $300,00O,OOO. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer re-
fused to state how he intended to raise
the new loan. He said it might be raised
by any or all Of four methods namely:
~ per cent consols, further war bonds,
treasury bills, or exchequer bonds.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer also
SAID that he was considering the ques-
ton OF exempting coal contracts already
entered into from the operation of the
new war export tax on that commodity.
The greatest cutlery against the new war
taxes is coming from the coal centers. At
a meeting held at Newcastle a resolution,
was adopted recommending that the tax
should not apply to existing contracts.
The chairman of the Cardiff Chamber of
Commerce thinks the new tax will have
the effect Of admitting American coal
into the markets now supplied by Great
Britain.
