RAIN BEFORE NIGHT.
Weather Bureau Looks for Downpour
This Afternoon.

OvercOats, rubber shoes and umbrellas
Will be in order this evening, according to
an official prophecy of the weather bureau.
Prof. Garriott, one of Uncle Sans fore
casters, informed The Star last night that
the outlook Is for fall of rain tonight.
THE skies will begin to cloud up in the
forenoon" he said, ''and, according to
present indications, the rain should come
later in the day. After the rain storm has
passed away from Washington and vicinity
the atmosphere will be cooler" Prof. Gar
riott also said rain is now general in the
southwest and is coming this way along
the Ohio valley.
The attention of the official forecaster
was called to a long-range prophecy made
by Pennsylvania prophet, to the effect
that the middle states will be visited by
heavy snow storms about November %, ac-
companfed by cold weather This prognos-
tication was chara racterized as "twaddle"
and guesswork. AS a matter of fact, the
outlook is that snow will not visit this To-
cality for several weeks, and when 1t does
come 1t viii not be heavy, but of the nature
or the falls recently experienced in the lake
regton-snow followed by warmer weather.
Usually, 1T is said, the first snow comes
about the last week of November although
there have been iurries before that time
The average winter snowfall here Is about
twenty-five inches. Last year however 1t
was forty-one inches, far above the normal

ABANDONED HIS COMMAND.
Lieut.. Pope Forfeits Fifty Dollars-His
Liberty Restricted

The case of First Lieut.. Benjamin H
Pope, Sth Infantry, which has just been
disposed OF by the military authorities,
presents several unusual features 1t seems
that Lieut.. Pope was detailed to conduct
a detachment of recruits from Columbus
barracks, Ohio, to Fort Mcpherson, Ca,
early last month and that on the journey,
instead OF occupying one of the tourist
sleeping cars in which there was ample
sleeping place available with his command,
as contemplated by the army regulations,
he secured and occupied double berth in
a standard sleeping car attached TO another
and separate train.
For his conduct on that occasion he was
tried by court-martial at Fort Sheridan,
Ill, on the charge of conduct to the pref
udice of good order and military discipline.
The specifications recited the facts in the
case and asserted that the officer had i'm
properly quit and abandoned his command
in violation of the regulations.
The court found him guilty of the charge
and sentenced the officer 10 forfeit to the
United States $50 of his pay and to be con-
fined to the limits of the post where his
company may be serving for a period of
one month
The sentence was approved by Col. Du-
gan, temporarily commanding the Depart
ment of the Lakes.
