The total precipitation for the last
three days is 2.75 inches, more than
fell in the entire growing season last
summer. The frost cannot do any
damage to the grain sown, and as the
wheat is practically all up, the ground
will be so covered before the surface
is dried off that the grain will thrive
if there should not be another drop of
rain until late in June. Because of the
main and lateral bitches there is no
fear of too much moisture.

"kickIna the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously of some
one of whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ phrase that would seem to
be piece of latter-day slang, but as
a matter Of fact, it dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1725,
one Bolsover hung himself to beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases Of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death
without distinction.

ANXIOUS FOR A DEBATE

Evangelist Interrupts Speaker Dur

in Convention Hall yesterday afternoon.

protested against the remarks of the

to joint debate. Pastor Russell ignored
the interruption.
Pastor Russell was discussing the
Hereafter" and spoke of the belief of
both Catholics. and Protestants.
''The curse or sentence for SIM" he
said, was not purgatory nor eternal
torment, but. as the Scriptures declare,
The wages Of sin is DEATH The soul
that sinneth it shall die This sentence
has been in execution upon our race for
the past sixty centuries and approxi-
mately 2O,OOO,0OO,OOO Of the race have
thus far been produced-almost enough
to comfortably fill the earth,' If all were
alive today.
These thousands of millions are neither
in purgatory nor in the theological hell
of torment-they are all dead (asleep) in
the Bible hell, sheol, hades, awaiting for
Gods due time when the Messiah shall
establish His kingdom with the living
generations and then gradually bring
from the tomb all those millions which
have gone hither from Adams day until
