Great Rain Fell

That was a million dollar rain that
fell Tuesday night and Wednesday
over the state. The rain started fall
ing gently about midnight Tuesday
night, and continued falling slowly
all night. BY morning the ground
was quite wet, and the needed show
ers continued to fall all day long. 1t
was a genuine soaker and many be-
lieve that not another drop of rain
is needed to make big crop. OF
course, another rain in a week or ten
days would not come amiss, and the
chances are that it will come when
needed. We have been getting rains
Just at the right time all summer
Icing, and the crops never looked bet
ter. There is an occasional farmer
who grumbles, but this is true with
every year. Some are never satisfied.
But as a rule, you will see smile
on the farmers face as you ask him
how his crop is, for he has every rea-
son to feel we'll. The rain was not as
heavy in some localities as this one,
it being quite light at Burlington and
on North Prairie. Crops are not suf-
fering there however.

Murphy Case
Dropped

The famous Murphy case has been
dropped. Our readers are familiar
with this case, Major J. S. Murphy
having been charged with forgery IN
the third degree. In his first trial,
which took place more than four
years ago, the jury disagreed. in
the second trial, the defendant was
found guilty, but the Supreme court
ordered new trial, one of the main
arguments being used before the court
being that Judge Pollock before whom
the case was tried, had entered the
jury box, and talked to the jurors.
The case was to have been tried
third time before Judge Templeton,
who dismissed the defendant without
trial, Murphy had demanded re-trial
at once.
The case came about thru the hand
ling of road receipts.
