WANTED MONEY FOR RAIN.

Herman Drescher, we'll known in this
city, made a peculiar request OF the
county clerk In Omaha, Neb. last week
when he claimed to be responsible for
a beautiful rain and desired pay for 1t.
The World-Herald Of Omaha tells OF
Drescher's request as follows:
II have come for my pay" said
well-dressed, sad.eyed stranger to Dep
uty County Clerk Frank Furay.
What is your name and how much
does the county owe you?" inquired the
deputy.
II thought would leave that part
with the county. Whatever you think is
right will go all right with me-" re-
sponded the stranger. my name is
Herman Drescher and my home Is at
Ottumwa, Ia, and / am professional
rainmaker. I just slipped over to
Omaha with that fine rain you were
needing so badly.
"The state OF Arizona recently Of
fered to pay me $1,000,000 for the rain
l manufactured for the drouth-stricken
settlers down that way, but here in
Nebraska would not expect SO much
this time in the year"
The deputy weakly said he guessed
the county didn't have that amount
handy at that particular moment and
made wild dive to connect with the
insanity board whereupon the Ottum.
wa wizard vanished without leaving
his card.

Another Central association baseball
season opens tomorrow under aus
|picious conditions. The best spirit pre-
walls in the league, the teams all re-
port being in good financial condition,
and preliminary accounts go to show
that the teams are well matched. There
should be no lack of interest in the
opening games, as there are many new
faces to be seen. Ottumwa will have
several new men on Its team, due to
the sale of several of last years play
ers to teams in higher leagues.
Burlington has secured an entire
new team and is more or less I'M
known quantity. Muscatine, the new
city in the league, appears with team
that was winner in the league In
which it played last year. Ottumwa has
unbounded faith in Manager Egan and
is banking on first division team, but
whether Ottumwa finishes among the
first or down at the bottom of the per-
centage ladder, the end of the season
will find the fans cheerful. Ottumwa
fans always have shown themselves to
be good sports"

THE VOTE FOR RECIPROCITY.

New York Times-If the republican
party that has 80 long lived by the
tariff issue should now perish by 1t,
several venerable maxims would again
come true, the ends of justice would
be nobly met, and there would be many
a dry eye. We do not mean that the
actual death Of the republican party
would be an occasion for applause.
the Times would sincerely deplore
such an event We mean thai the end
of it as a party existing almost wholly
for protection, for the eternal building
of high and higher tariffs, would be a
cause for rejoicing. It looks as IL that
blessed dispensation were at hand.
Certainly the democratic party has
never been so at war with itself and
shown such dreadful division of coun-
sells, save over the civil war and over
Bryanism. as the republicans IN the
house when they were called upon to
meet the advancing hosts of democracy
bearing the banner Of Canadian reci-
procity. Sixty-seven republican con-
gressmen voted for the ratifying bill
and only seventy-eight against it. AL
most half the republican representa-
tives went over to the enemy on the
direct issue of practically demolishing

THE LOS ANGELES CRIME.

New York World.-Whether proof OF
a conspiracy can be established Is a
matter that will have to be determined
in court, along with the guilt or limo
cence of the persons now under arrest.
without accepting the accusations or
the statements Of the detectives, the
fact remains that after twenty years Of
warfare between Gen. Otis and the la
Dor unions, the Los Angeles Times
building was blown up, presumably by
dynamite, and twenty-one lives were
destroyed. Somebody committed the
crime.
No element in the country has a
greater personal interest in seeing that
the guilty are brought to punishment
than the rank and file Of organized Ia
Dor. No element has suffered more from
crimes Of violence committed ostensi-
bly, for its benefit or has more to lose
by the continuation of such crimes.
Organized labor cannot blink the
fact that unionism is in great peril In
this country, however great the gooc
that has resulted from it. AS an insti-
tuition it is unincorporated and respon-
sible to no laws and to no, government.
In spite of the tremendous Industrial,
economic and social power that it ex-
erts. it manages its affairs without pub
lie accountability. It's oligarchies raise
and expend vast sums Of money in
ways i'm which the public has no
knowledge: It's operations are yelled in
mystery and reach out to every part
Of the country. No corporation would
be permitted to exercise a hundredth
part of the irresponsible power that or.
ganized labor has gathered into Its
hands.
If union labor will not assist in the
process of purging itself of its own
criminal elements, union labor Is fac
ing the crisis of its career. The Ameri-
can people have shown that they can
curb the corporations. They will curb
the unions, too, il life and property can
be protected in no other way.

at has been suggested says. the
Davenport Times" that the manufac-
turers Of the state ought to hold in
stitute in the several counties for the
purpose of educating the people to an
appreciation of the large number of
things that are made in Iowa and for
the purpose of letting it be known how
important is the manufacturing indus
try in comparison with the total
amount of business of the state. 1t is
to be feared that the exhibit would be
so large that it could not be trans
ported from place to place without
costing. 80 much as to make the enter
prise prohibitive. However series OF

ARCHBISHOP kEANE.

accepted at Rome. !.

men. Nor can he be a greater scholar
than Archbishop Keane, than whom
there is no man in the, church in the
limited States more erudite. Nor is
Il likely that he can have more gentle,

the spirit Of the love of God and man.
ssThe successor to Archbishop Keane
easily may have greater constructive
ability. He may dot the hills with
churches and the valleys with school
houses and inaugurate an era of con-
struction in the diocese thatlshall even

for him to do more in spiritual way

to make the church stand out more

told me she was going to take some,
and it-slipped my mind"
I believe it was the first lie she had
ever told in her hard, conscientious
old life. Was she right? wondered.
Had Miss Jane taken the pearls, and If
she had, why?
Wardrop had been taking long
walk; he got back about five, and as
Miss Letitia was In the middle Of a
diatribe against white undergarments
for colored children, Margery and he

known, of course, that it must come,
but under the circumstances, with
my whole future existence at stake, |
was vague as to whether 1t was col
ored undergarments on white orphans
or the other way round.
When I got away at last, found
Bella waiting for me In the hall. Her
eyes were red with crying, and she
had crumpled newspaper in her

'Not yet, but there is very little

heavy shoulders, as she sat in her fav-

briefly, that she had lived with Mrs.
Butler since she was sixteen, and had
