RAIN PROMISED IN THE WEST
Weather Bureau Says CopiOus show
eEs VIII Fall In Mississippi VAL
ley This Week.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Tde drouth
that is prevailing throughout the country
with such serious results will be broken
about the beginning of next week." pre-
dicted Forecaster Garrett of the Weather
bureau today.
"There will be disturbance which will
start in on the Pacific coast by tomorrow
or next day, which will cross the country
and bring fairly coptous rains.
Forest fires are due to the fact that
there have not been any well defined
storms in these regions. Forest fires have
had no effect in preventing rains in the
past nor will they have in the future. The
forests have to a very small degree any
influence on the rainfall but not enough
to be appreciable."
THE continued absence of rain" says a
report of the weather bureau, "over large
districts in the Mississippi and in the
Missouri, upper Mississippi and Ohio val
leys, lake region, New England, and in
the middle Atlantic states. is seriously af-
fecting many interests. The ground Is be-
coming baked, vegetation is at a standstill,
streams are lower in sections than for
many years, and the water supply rapidly
falling.
Some frosts occurred at exposed points
last Wednesday aud Thursday, but with
out material damage. Sunshine was abund-
ant, over nearly all districts, especially the
corn belt.
Some heavy rains occurred along the
immediate coast and good showers were
general over the southern portion of the
cotton belt and sufficient rain for present
needs occurred over large portions Of
Texas, Oklahoma and the surrounding por-
tions of Arkansas and Kansas.
Rain was also fairly abundant and we'll
distributed over Montana, Idaho and por-
tions Of eastern Georgia, North Dakota
and western Minnesota"

There is an increase Of two in the number
Of banks reporting. The average reserve
is SSR per cent, being more than double

hand i'm the banks is found to average the
full legal requirement. This Is the first re-
port for this year to show an increase in
either loans or deposits, Such a substan-
tial increase in these two important items
indicates that the country is rapidly recov-
ering from the effects Of last fall and win

GOEHNER, NEB., Sept 23-(SpeciL)-
Three men robbed the Bank of Goehner and
the State Bank of Germantown early this
morning and are still eludlng the officers
who are trying to secure their trial. At
the local bank they got away with $3.50 in
silver but at Germantown they got nothing
leaving their work half finished. evidently
in fright. They did the job t Goehner first
between 1 and o'clock in the morning and
then Fastening to Germantown, a few miles
distant. got into the bank there and were
in the act of exploding dynamite to open the
safe when apparently scared awy.
Sheriff John Gilln, of Seward county,
thought he had two of the criminals at
Weeping Water, as rumors reached him
early In the morning tending to fix them as
two of the gang, but he went there and
made a thorough investigation only to find
them not to be the robbers
In the safe at Goehner was So, 900 and in
that at Germantown $4,000, which the rob-
bers failed to reach. At Germantown they
forced their way in the front door of the
bank and had got their soap ready for
the explosion when, it is believed. a noise
at nearby section house alarmed them
and they left their depreciation unfinished.
1t was getting well along toward day.
They were seen by a section man to leave
the bank and run for a section car on which
they pumped their way west as rapidly as
they could.
Hotel Men Scare Them.
A. Grass, the banker and Sheriff John
Gillian of Seward county are convinced the
work was that of amateurs. The bank
will not lose by the robbery. as 1t was in
suTed for a much larger sum, enough, in
fact, to cover all the funds on hand.
But for Edward Plunkin who conducts
hotel a few doors from the bank, the
robbers probably would have increased
their plunder. Mr.. Plunkin was aroused
by the noise of their clumsy movements
and, satisfying himself robbers were in the
bank lost no time in getting word TO Mr.
Grass. Mr.. Grass lives on the same street
and same side of the street on which is
bank is located, so he was soon on the
scene, with Mr.. Punkin. When they ar
rived at the bank, however. the robbers
were gone. 1t is believed they heard move
ments or became frightened, determined to
be content with what little booty they had
and fled.
THE robbers entered through the front
door OF the bank" said Mr. Grass "Evi-
IDENTIFY they had a skeleton key, or at least
one that fitted the lock, for it was not
broken. but merely unlocked. The cur
rency they got was in an outside safe, not
the main one with the combination lock.
1t was too bulky to place in there, so we
left it in the other place. They managed
to tear the door off this safe, but evidently
had made no effort to open the vault"
