Charles NJ. Hatfield Predicts That Ev-

cry American City VIII Have One.
Charles NJ. Hatfield, the young man
of Los Angeles who Is called a rain
maker" was in San Francisco recently
on his way from Grass valley. where
he claims to have fulfilled contract
to break the drought that afflicted that
region for 1872 consecutive days, says
the San Francisco Examiner.
Hatfield was called to Grass valley
by a message from the South Yuba
Water company, offering him $3.50 to
break the drought, or $40 for each inch
of rain up to five inches within one
week. This was about Nov. IA. The
storm arrived few days ago, and now
the South Yuba reservoirs are full Of
water.
II succeeded all right and got my
money!" said Hatfield. when l ar
rived my employers sent me to Lake
Spauldlng, one Of the reservoirs in the
high Sierras, at an elevation of 5000
feet. There conducted my thirtieth
successful test in California, my first,
however, out of the southern portion of
the state. broke the greatest drought
California had suffered from In fifty
years.
I'VE had two rains. The first was q
fall Of Ito inches; the second was In
eighteen inches of snow. That my ex-
pertinent was responsible for the unu-
sually heavy downpour is proved by
the fact that it was the heaviest in all
that region. My work done, came
supervisors of Marin county wished
me to make test in the vicinity Of
San Rafael.
I'm April go under contract from
the British government to one of its
colonies where the soil is rich in pre-
cious minerals, but owing to the scarce
rainfall no water can be had. have
articles Of agreement signed and seal
ed, and leave here April l."
Hatfield denies that he is rain
maker" He prefers to be styled rain
attracter." II do not force nature;
assist it. When there is an unusual
drought there must be cause for 1t.
I remove the cause and produce the
effect. Nature will respond freely ind
willingly to any artificial assistance.
It doesn't take much to produce re-
suits. There is surely as much feast
bility in the idea of rain attraction as
there is in the artificial production Of
plants. The process of rain attraction
is merely an intelligent means Of get
ting at existing conditions. Fifty years
from now every state, every city in the
Union will have its rainmaking
plant"

Whose noble, grand. historic walls
Have sheltered famous men,
And thinks how he'll the nation teach
And soon with some magnetic speech
Awake those halls again.
He knows the folks at home await
His views upon concerns Of state
With Ill concealed restraint,
But hen not keep them waiting long.
And when he does burst forth in song
What pictures he will paint!
He sees himself another Clay!

Zig Tree Like a Volcano.

Flames issuing from the top Of a live
redwood tree is the sight that can be
seen in the State park in the Big Basin,
says Santa Cruz correspondent of the
San Francisco Call. This Is the third
time in fourteen months that flames
have been visible. The fire Is burning
constantly, but at times so slowly that
It is not perceptible. The heart Of the
tree is decayed, and it burns like punk
until the blaze burns a hole through
the trunk. This forms a vent and
causes the smoldering embers to burst
into flames. The tree was 40 feet in
height when it first took fire. Now Il
is but ninety feet high.

WOMEN PETITION GOVERNOR.
ImpIored to Refuse Pardon to Wallace Fucker Who Ruined Young
 SChoo! Teacher.

Pea Ridge, Dec. 5.-An un- usual incident occurred here at the conclusion of a speech by Gov. Jeff Davis in the interest of his candidacy for the United States senate. When the gov ernor finished speaking a num- Der of young ladies went upon the stage in the auditorium oi the Pea Ridge Masonic College, where he spoke, and implored him, in brief speeches, to refuse the application which has been made for the pardon of Wallace Fucker of Hiawasse, who was convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment for the se- duction of Decia Davis, a school teacher of Benton county.
 Fucker was convicted in Wash- ington county, where his case was taken on change of venue, and the supreme court affirmed the decision.
 Petitions for his pardon were circulated and the people of Pea Ridge, where Miss Davis lived, started a remonstrance. Both the petitions and remonstrance have been circulated in many parts of the county, and each side has several thousand sign CTS. Thinking that a personal appeal would add force to the remonstrance, the young woman went to the governor in person.
 The governor in brief speech assured the young ladies that he would consider the case we'll be- fore making any decision. The governors action in the matter will be watched closely in this and Washington counties.

DfSOLATION IN BOTTOMS.
Red River and 0zan Country Are in a Distressing Condition From
 Crop Failure.

Little Rock. Dec. Eff the whole Southland were as desolate as the Red river and Ozan coun- try in Hampstead and Miller counties, it would mean famine as great as India ever knew, for Georgia was not more desolate after Sherman swept over it in his march to the sea.
 This is the startling statement made by Capt. John J. Thomas, of Washington, Hampstead coun- ty, who was in the city yester- day on business. Capt. Thomas is one of the states leading citi- zens, a former member of the state board of charitable institu- tions, and not being given to sensationalism, the picture he draws of the conditions there may be taken as the actual facts, however distressing and beyond relief it may appear. He is a planter and has extensive agri- cultural. interests covering a long period of years, so that his ob- servations are accurate and have the stamp of authority. Con- tinuing, he said:
 "Never before in the history of that country have the crops over so large an area of the rich- est lands in the state proven an absolute failure, and this is the testimony of one of our citizens who has spent the greater part of his long life raising cotton there.
 Along the Ozan and it's forks and the valley of Red river, the cotton crop will not make more than 5 per cent. It will run on an average from 0 to 5 per cent. This is particularly true of the black lands, from Marlbrook on the south fork of the Ozan to Columbus, a distance of about twenty miles, and several miles wide.

BtRRY'S COUNTER QUERY
Shows That Gov. Davis Fell DeWn in His Own COunty-ReadS the Cele-
 brated DinSmOre Letter.

In the recent joint speaking of Gov. Davis and Senator Berry the the latter took all the wind out of the formers sails, when in reply to the insinuation that Berry's friends in Benton county had been false to Davis, because the latter had received only 50 more votes in the general elec- tion than in the primary, the veteran senator said: Gov ernor, in your own county of Pope you received five hundred more votes in the primary than you did in the general election. If you deny it I will show you the record. Now, whose fault was this?"
 THE DINsMORE LETTER.
 During the governors speech he had given Senator Berry the celebrated letter that Berry had written to MT. Dinsmore that was the cause of the assault at Fayetteville. The senator read the letter, as fol- lows:

 ''The race has not been dis cussed in this section much.
 My throat is not in good con- dition. Yours,
 JAS. H. BERRY"
 The senator thanked the gov ernor for returning the letter. and said he would like for it to be published in every paper throughout the state, so every man. woman and child could read it, for ''I have never yet written or said anything that l am ashamed for the public of the grand old state of Arkansas to read or hear"
