The Drought Broken.

The long dry spell which promised a
poor outlook for some of the crops was
broken last Tuesday by a good intro
ductory shower of few minutes which
started in the middle of the forenoon
and the rain came down quite hard for
a few mintes, enough to settle the thick
dust and to brighten up and refresh
the parched grass and crops. There
was heavy fall of rain at supper time
and there were frequent showers dur
ing the evening, accompanied by some
sharp lightning. There was baby
shower Saturday night, but it only
lasted a few minutes.

Don't put too much faith in political

a good share of the political stories

them are waited from summer resorts
where politicians have been fishing.
Because Brother Heatwole and Capt.
Whitney were in the Northern editor

and fast alliance between the two are
current. Because Ray Jones and Dan
Shell went camping together it is hint
ed that Mobiles county is for Jones for
governor. Because Governor Van SAINT
spoke to Moritz Helm on the streets of
st. Paul it is stated that Helm is his
candidate for attorney general. Be-
cause Robert Jamison is trying to raise
bigger potatoes on his farm than John
Lind has on his it is asserted that the
Judge will run for congress next year.
Now these things are not necessarily
true because of the strong circumstan-

did not join the church.

The justices are the hardest worked

to dry legal arguments three months
at clip: three cases day, read the
briefs submitted in POO cases, look up
the authorities in each case, write the
opinions and then take the cussing of
every man in the State who disagrees
with the opinion. In this connection it
might be well to add that an attempt

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 3.-Judge H. c.
Ryan handed down a decision this after
noon of much import to Summitville. A
month ago Messrs r. c. Howard and s.
c. Warner, owners of the Summitville
Electric Light and Water-works Company,
promoted a plan to sell the plant to the
Town Council of Summitville. The terms of
the sale and price were agreed on and the
citizens regarded the deal as closed. The
payment of the price. however, meant an
increased tax rate for the citizens and a
suit was brought asking for restraining
order preventing the completion of the deal.
1t was granted and week ago the pro-
motors sought to have the order dissolved.
The court to-day i'm it's ruling continued the
order. Summitville in the meantime will
continue to purchase water and light
