 This is the first time in the history of this country that the common peo- pie have financed campaign. One of the most striking features of this most remarkable fund is that most of 1t has come in contributions 'ow $5 or less--probsbly $200,000 of 1t up to this time. IL has come in envelopes such as one finds around homes rather than sofflces, and there has been something pathetically human about 1t.

DEAD PIANO TUNER
WAS WELL KNOWN

S. d. Fry, who died suddenly in

good reputation elsewhere thatwas
reputed to him here.
w. II. Fuller, whountil recently
has conducted cleaning and pres

quite we'll in Weatherford, Okla
homa. Mr. Fuller is responsible for
the statement that the deceased
was earnestly urged TO leave that
city nnceremoniously; vague hints
Of tar, feathers, rails, etc, had the
effect of causing Fry to lose no
time in leaving,
These threats were made because
of Fry's implication in a double
tragedy in which Lee Leedy shot
and killed his wife and afterward
was killed by a posse which was pur-
suing him, although the coroner
Jury returned a verdict of Leedy S
suicide at the inquest Fry's in

Mr.. +. ]. Considine, Amarilio's
weather prophet chnracterizes last
nights rain and electrical display as
nothing extraordinary and only what
was really TO he expected from his
representations.
The heaviest fall was from mid
night until l a. m. when 81 inches
vas recorded; from noon yesterday
until 1 a, m. Isl inches Tell
The months record shows an ex-
cess over July's precipitation Of 1.79
over the average July fall during
the history Of the station, thirty
three years there having fallen 496
inches as against the July average OF
ar inches
The heaviest previous July rainfall
was in 1899 when a fan Of 3.55
inches was registered The present
months fall exceeds that already by
1,41 and more rain is expected to-
day. ... ,.....
The average temperature Ia also
considerably lower this month, than
in any other previous July, excepting
one. there having been daily
shortage OF degrees as compared
with the average July temperatures
OF the past thirty-three years,
The highest temperature Of the
month was recorded on the 18th
inst. when the thermometer scared
to SO degrees, and the lowest was
on the 9TH when the mercury sunk
to SIS degrees, making he average
73 degrees. The exception above
noted was for July 1895. when 70
degrees averaged.
The heavier rainfall causes a
general decrease in the wind veloc-
ity and the total wind movement for
the month has been approximately
1000 miles, as against $500 miles
for July Of last year.
These statistics are interesting, as
proving beyond a doubt that ANA
