CLOUDY.

Cloudy and threatening almost
the entire week. rains all round
Us but none here to speak Of, is
the rather dismal story from
Canyon City.
Tuesday evening and night
splendid rains fell in Hale and
Swisher counties, 50 reports
Plainyiew and Tulia. These
rains almost reached Happy. At
the same time good rains fell at
Texico coming this way nearly
to Umbarger. Armstrong. our
nabOr county on the Fast, has
also Jared well in this respect,
the rains there extending over
the Ceta country coming this
way. In fact, our county. Ran
dali, seems to have been shorter
on ram Tor TINS season than any
other county on the Plains. This
condition seemingly supports
the position frequently put for
ward by somo>Weather observers
that rains follow the courses
marked out by the first spring
wettings." Whether this be
true in the main or not, the fact
remains that the theory certainly
holds good so far for this season
in the Panhandle.
Randall county needs rain and
wants it seven days worse than
last week. This much is certain. /
Perhaps, the Reunion will bring
it. Who knows:

TO BLOW HIM UP.
Pittsburg Man Finds Bomb on
His Front Porch.
Loaded With Dynamite and .
Fuse Attached.
MATCH WAS APPLIED.
The Fuse Scorched But Failed
TO burn Back.
MATCH WAS APPLIED.
Prof. w. o. Crosswhite Didn't
Know He Had an Enemy.

Pittsburg. Kan, March 15.-The
Headlight says: The police are puz-
zled over what seems to have been a
dastardly attempt to either do injury
or kill Prof w. o. Crosswhite and
wife, teachers in the Pittsburg Bush
ness college, last night by dynamiting
their home at 119 East Thirteenth
street. a4 81
1t was about nine O'Clock when Prof.
Crosswhite was sitting near the win
dow in the oarlor of his home when
for some reason, just why he does not
know, ne arose from his chair and
stepped out onto the front porch.
AS soon as he closed the door his
eyes rested on a small box which ne
picked UP and carried into the house
Upon examination he found that it
contained a stick of dynamite to which
was attached a cap and fuse. all ready
to fire off. '-f-s'-@
Near the place where the box was
found lay two matches that had been
burned apparently in an attempt to
light the fuse. The fuse was connected
with the cap and stick of dynamite
through a hole in one end of the box
containing the dynamite and the fuse
had been burned or rather scorched.
Mr.. CroSSwhite telephoned the
police station and officer King an
swered the call. and took possession of
the DOX ana 1t is now IN the ndnQS Oh
Chief of Police Skinner at police head
quarters.
The dynamite is loose in the box and
therefore would have done no further
damage than to have blown a hole in
the porch and perhaps have shattered
some of the window glass.
Three matches were found in the
box unlighted.
1.-THE fellow who fixed that dyna-
mite" said Policeman Wright, who is
i - g. L, sr
business, for it was perfectly fixed in
an experienced way that would have
done all right had the fuse burned and
the stick exploded. 1t could not have
done much damage though because 1t
was not confined. The force of dyna-
mite is always downward and it could
not have done much more than blown
a hole in the porch and the explosion
would not have been very loud. If the
fellow had pasted little bit of mud
over it there would not have an ex-
plosion much louder than pistol
shot,
'I did not know that had an enemy
in the world said Prof. Crosswhite
today, f'and why any person would be
not explain"
If it was done for a Joke it was al
most too dangerous to be a joke. and
it looks now as though some one was
trying to do some damage, but wheth-
er it was directed towards Prof Cross
white and his wife, or whether it was
mistake in the house and the con-
spirators were after some one else, is
a mystery. l

HAVE SAN JOSE SCALE.
A Large Wyandotte County Peach
Orchard Affected by the Insect.

Kansas City, Kan, March 15.-The
Rev. William Cady, pastor OF the Peo-
nle's Methodist Protestant church, was
walking through an orchard on the
Kansas City university grounds one
day last week when a peach tree limb
brushed his face. He broke off a twig
and it was covered with small red spots
Mr.. Cady sent a limb of the tree to the
Agricultural college at Manhattan,
Kan. Prof. E. A. Popenoe,state nursery
inspector, came to the city yesterday
and examined the orchard.
"All the trees are sick, The said. "They
are suffering from San Jose scale,
small insect, several of which can f1nd
plenty of room on the point OF a PIN:
They destroy peaches and all kinds OF
fruit. The little insect is carried from
place to place on leaves blown by the
wind, or in the feathers of BIRDS
Four hundred trees in the orchard are
affected by the insects. Prof. Popenoe
says the farmers and fruit growers
must take steps at once to stop the pest
by spraying the trees with a solution OF
lime and sulphur.

NO NEW TRIAL FOR MCCOY.
Caney Dentist Charged With Wife
Murder Must Go to Higher Court.

Independence. Kan, March i5.-A
motion for a new trial in the case of
DR.. z. B. Mccoy. charged with the
murder of his wife. at Caney, in June.
1906, was overruled by Judge Elan
nelly in the district court here.
DR.. Mccoy was brought over from
the county Jail when court convened
that he might be present to hear the
ruling as soon as Mr.. Clark arrived.
The prisoner looked bitterly disap-
pointed although he sh owed no feeling
of emotion. 1t seemed to be the blast
ing of a hope which he had cherished
and that was all. He hurried to his
lawyers side, but Mr.. Clark had al
ready asked the court to grant sixty
days in which a bill of exceptions may
be prepared. Judge Flannelly granted
this.
DR.. Mccoy claimed that his wife had
committed suicide and after his con-
viction produced a note alleged to have
been been written by Mrs. Mccoy in
which she indicated that she contem-
plated suicide.
County Attorney Charlton took the
note to handwriting experts in Kansas
City, Mo, who pronounced it fraud.

Running, Jumping and Pole
Yaulting on Programme.

Kansas City. Mo-. March 15-To-
night in Convention hall the fourth an
nual indoor track meet between the
Universities of Kansas and Missouri
will be held. AS in former years, it
looks very much like a victory for the
team from Columbia, but the Kansans
are coming to Kansas City with team
that should make a much better show
ing than any of its predecessors. In
fact the Missouri men are much more
conservative than they have ever been
before. Whereas the Missourians used
to come here seeing only a onesided
victory, they say that they will do well
to win tonight by more than ten
points. -z--9--s-- --
The recent dope of the meet figures
kansas a very strong contender. The
Jayhawkers don't see a victory but they
do count on giving their Tiger rivals a
very big scare. They have been work
in fact. much harder than the Mis-
souri, men, if one may judge by the
reports of the strenuous" work.
The first event tonight in the big hall
IS scheduled to be staged at exactly s
o'clock. when the Missouri and Kansas
sprinters are due to mix for a few sec
onds. Sixteen events are carded to
come up for decision tonight. Eleven
of these events will be between Mis-
souri, and Kansas athletes. The other
five are invitation AFFAIRS. Central and
Manual will hook up twice in a 50-yard

while the other invitation event will
be n pursuit race between Kansas City

In the big hall the rooters will sit
upon opposite sides of the house, the
KansanS on the west side and the Mis-
sourians on the east. Sections have also
been reserved for the three high schools
