4 Ram Maker.

E. G. Whitney of Rocky Ford, Colo, has written to the board of public lands and buildings of Ne braska, asking for contract to keep Nebraska wet next summer. For do- ing this he asks the modest sum of S1 900. In his letter be says:
 "For fourteen years have known how to produce good soaking rain when needed. Why, then, have l kept SO silent all these years and watched the suffering and hungry when it was in my power of knowl, edge to help thsmi Just because thought others had the art and il was no use for me to say or do any. thing, and I wanted to be sure l had the real thing before making it pub lie.
 'I have made many improvement: since I discovered the real art; have seen rainmaking die; besides ] have seen or heard of much suffering caused directly by the drought. think it high time the art was put tt use and so much of this suffering stopped. I lived in or near the sanc hills of Nebraska since the fall O 1886 to the summer of 1900. Thsr, is where I made my discovery anc some improvements, but have learnet much since. I will cause rainfall of one inch throughout your state to Sl,0O0.

DUTIES OF PROSECUTORS.

District Attorney Jerome, of New York, makes the following startling statement in connection with a certain murder case in which he Is to appear as public prosecutor:
 "As the district attorney 1 have power which the defendants counsel has not. He is in honor bound to preserve every confidence of the de- fendant, and if he can prove her in nocence of the crime charged against herit is my duty to help him in prov ing her innocence. I will place all my power at his disposal, and will in vestigate the case on such lines as he may wish. will seek for the estab- lishment of the innocence of this girl as earnestly as I will seek to prove her guilty"
 This is such an unusual position for a public prosecutor to take that 1t is worthy of note. The attorney for the state in most cases considers it his sole duty to convict the defend ant, and he uses all his powers and ingenuity to that end. In cross ex- animation, by objections, by entan- gling witnesses, by circumstantial evidence, by all the means known to lawyers whereby they may embarass the opposition, he tries to throw dis credit on the prisoner at the bar and to trick the jury into verdict fol conviction. He presents one side only without any reference to what the defense may be able to establish His reputation as an attorneyis based on his ability to prove the origina charges. 4 public attorney is a sue cess or a failure, according to tn number of convictions he has secured As though the ends of justice wer not served as well by the acquittal O an innocent person as by the convic ton of guilty one.-EX.

Willard and Dr. Carrier ct. al. were the defend ants. MT. Carrigan took an option on the Cliff group of mines owned by defendants for a net price of S3O,OOO. It was understood between all par ties that the price presented to the prospective purchaser would be 40,- 900, and that the Sl0,0O0 represented his commission. Mir. Carrigan intro duced Prof. G. A. Treadwe1l to tho owners of the group and after lapse of several months and various changes being made in the option and renewals of it being made to Prof. Treadwell, the sale was con- summated for S40,OOO and the owners received the full purchase price Owing to the changes which occur red in the transaction, extension oi time, etc., granted, they claimed that Carrigan had dropped out of the transaction entirely, and refused tC pay the commission of Sl0.0OO. Sui was instituted in the district court here by MT. Carrigan, through hii attorney, R. E. Morrison, and on the trial of the case judgment was ren dered in favor of plaintiff. An ap peal was taken to the supreme court and the case was determined ther' yesterday by the decision of the dis trict court being affirmed.

They Will Not Mix.

Senator Depew some time since ex- pressed the wish that the exclusive millionaire society of New York might mingle with the society of genius that the men and women of exagger- ated incomes might consort with men and women of intellectual and artis- tic achievement. He thought It would be a good thing for both classes. The senator is immediately jumped on by William Dean Howells who says that such fusion is impos- sible. In his reply Mir. HOwells calls the plutocratic 400 good society" while he calls artists, authors, jurists, scientists, etc, the ''best society" The reason why the good and the best can never mix is that neither de- serves the company of the other. Plutocracy takes no interest in the the achievements of literature, art or science or in the persons who create such works. Their standard of merit is wealth and all who cannot play that game are of an inferior class in their eyes. Genius, on the other hand, does not care to go where it is ranked as inferior to wealthy stupidity. It does not care to ire uuent circles where its achievements are not known and where it is toler- ated only in a patronizing way.

pinkham's PnultrY Plans.

A Missoula, Montana, man named William Pinkham has novel chick en farm scheme which he is working on. If he is successful he proposes to reyolutionize the chicken business as we'll as the ever-absorving theme oi how to procure fresh eggs in sufficient numbers to supply that portion of the west.
 Mir. Pinkham's property is located on the hillside, one-half of which is partly underground and the other in closed in the building.
 In this chicken house and run he has installed some old engine head lights where he has built the struc- ture so that no light from the outside can penetrate it when he closes it up
 His plan is to have the hens work overtime, as it were, by cutting one day up into several days of few hours duration each by the means of shutting out the light from the outside at times and causing the ever-indus- trious hen to think that it IS night. Then after they have been on the roost for an hour or so he will light up his lights and the hens thinking that morning has come again will get down from their roost and after scratching about for time will go to their nests and lay. In this manner he figures it out that he can get each hen to lay several eggs each cay.
 MT. Pinkham's new plan will be watched with interest by the poultry raisers, and if it works as well as he plans it will there is no doubt but what it will revolutionize the poultry and egg business of the country.

About Oil Fields.

In conversation with the editor of the Journal Miner prior to his de parture for Los Angeles, Major Hor- ace M. Russell stated that the oil bor- ing machinery has not yet arrived bnt is now a day or two overdue ac- cording to the time it was estimated it would reach here. He has his men on the ground ready to erect the der rick and place the machinery in posi- ton immediately on its arrival. The derrick and the buildings have all been framed in Los Angeles as has also the big bull wheel used in bor- ing and nothing remains on their ar rival to be done expect to put them together. This, Major Russell esti- mates, will take probably two weeks. Major Russell expects to return in about ten days again. As there is a large amount of pinyon and juniper wood on the claims he has decided to use wood for fuel instead of oil as previously intended. The wood will
 be cheaper, as the transfer of oil iron the standard guage railroad woulo prove expensive besides leaving 2 three mile wagon haul from the rail road to the point where the first vel will be bored. Major Russell state, that from all indications oil should be struck at from 600 to 1000 feet but sinking the first well iG an un developed territory is always an ex pertinent even where oil exists Should they fail to obtain oil in th' first well. others will be sunk, as the, are determined to thoroughly pros
 pect the field and he says that th' indications for oil which exist there are far better and more encouraging than in a California field where flowing we'll was recently struck.

Aguinaldo, and he was made a bri- gadier general in the regular army.
 Naturally this last promotion was resented by many officers in the regular army, but it was just as heartily approved by others, and General Funston stands today as one of the most capable officers of his rank in the world. He has won his rank without the advantages of a military education, without the record of long experience in the ser vice, but he has won it just as legiti mately as others who had the advan tage of military education and o training in actual service.
 When he returned to the United States recently somewhat broker down in health, he expected to re turn to service again in the Philip pines, but the war department ha given him an important assignmen in this country as department com mander of the department of Color ado, New Mexico and Arizona. He is brilliant man and dashing officer, an' has earned the promotions he has re ceived and the assignment of dut which has been given him.

A Burglar Captured.

The Journal Miner recently men tioned the fact that E. A. Kastner & Co.'S store had been burglarized last Thursday night, the place being locked as usual the next morning. After the occurrence a bolt was placed on the door and last night an other attempt was made to burglarize the place. Finding the door bolted, the burglar broke pans of glass in the door and reached through it and drew the bolt. This aci proved dis astrous to MT. Burglar, as the noise of the broken glass falling to the floor was heard by parties in the adjoining room in the rear of the store and the alarm was given, and soon the place was surrounded by twenty or thirty men and the capture of the marauder was effected. It proved to be a man who had for merly driven a wagon for a transfer company. He has been living in a little cabin in the rocks in West Pres colt, and Officer Giles visited the place this morning and says he dis covered a whole lot of stuff which l; supposed to have been stolen.
 The prisoners name is Mike Ford Among the articles found in his room were seven clocks, a goodly supply of beer and whisky and an abundance of cigars.

REMARKABLE MILITARY CAREER.

The remarkable military career of Gen. Fred Funston is without par allel in recent history. Prior to his entering the military service he had proved his metal in exploring expedi- tions in Dakota and California, and Alaska, and had made the acquain- tance of military men long before he became a soldier. He was known to have a gay contempt of danger, to have great endurance, and to be alert and resourceful in situations of dan ger or difficulty, and those who knew him best were not surprised when in 1896 he went to Cuba and enlisted in the revolutionary army under General Gomez.
 His record there was that of dash ing soldier and he participated in some twenty two engagements. But when the Cubans murdered prisoners he left the Cuban army in disgust and returned to the United States prostrated by sickness, wounds and sore disappointments.
 His adventures in Cuba recon mended him more largely to the peo pie than to military men, and his ex perience there undoubtedly made hin commander of the Twentieth Kansa' volunteers, to win exceptional fam in the army of the Philippines. II the several campaigns under Genera Otis and General McArthUr he dem onstrated that he was an eXceptiona soldier and was promoted to a briga dier generalship for gallantry il battle.

The microbe has thls in common with the fabled monster, its food is human flesh and its drink human blood. It battens on slaughter. For centuries medical scNnce fought this ruicrobic foe in darkness.

Canals Are Increasing.

Canals existed in prehistoric times. It is a great mistake to suppose that, in any sense, they are out of date. Since its last war with Germany France has constructed 400 miles of new canals and 800 miles of new river navigation. French internal waterways cover 1000 miles, and in thirty years their traffic has increased 40 per cent. There are 60,0OO canal boats in service in Russia. Germany's great waterways project is to connect all rivers of Prussia emptying into the North Sea or Baltic. With scar cely an exception, the canals of the world are financial successes, while commercially, they are simply indis- pensable.

 Of all prevalent forms of blood dis ease. scrofula is the most intractable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has a remarkable record of cures of scrofulous diseases remarkable both in the number of cures and their variety as well as in the fact that these cures were effected many times in cases where all other treatment had proved utterly intellectual.

 There is no alcohol in vGolden Med- ical Discovery and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other mar cotics.
 Why does a dealer sometimes try to sell a substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, claiming it IS rjust as good?D Is 1t for the customers ben eft? It can't be. If the two medicines are equal in merit there's no advantage to the purchaser in an e0eB exnaGrge. The medicines are not equal in merit, and the reason for selling substitute is only because the less meritorious med icine puts a little more profit into the dealer's pocket.

 The Mexican government is deeply interested in the development of the frontier between Nuevo Laredo and Matamoras, which contains rich agri- cultural lands, and the concession granted is liberal enough to insure the construction of this line.
