HEAVY RAIN.
Crop Prospects Brighten with
Mondays Rain.

This section was visited with a
heavy rain which began on Sunday
night and continued until Monday
evening. A total of 2.85 inches of
water fell here at Morris, one of the
heaviest rains in two or three years.
The ground was so dry that the
rain at first soaked away as rapidly
as it fell. During Sunday night and
Monday forenoon about an inch of
water fell, and yet little of it was
left on the surface of the ground.
There were two heavy downpours dur
ing the afternoon. however, which
flooded every depression until it could
run off.
Crop prospects were much brighten
ed by the rainfall. Sufficient rain
fell to supply the growing crops for
some time.
Here in Morris the heavy down.

take care of the storm water and had
backed up into the cellars, but in
vestigation showed that this was not
the case, and that the sewer took care
of all the water poured into it. Water
came into the store cellars of Wells
Bros. Hanson Co., S. J. Stbebins
and J. R. Kruger. The first two
were flooded because the outlets from
the cellars were not large enough,
and J. R. Krueger's cellar got few
inches of water because of the back
ing up of an old drain.
The other heavy rains in recent
years were a rain of 1.73 inches on
May 24th and one of ITO inches on
May 3Oth, 1909, there having been
total of is inches for that month.
On June 9th, 1908, there was rain
of 2.35 inches, and a total of 1913
inches for that month.

HIS FIRM
RESEMBLES
MENHGERIE

George Pope must have a com
plete menagerie on his farm
northeast of town. He has had
several large traps set to catch
prowlers, and it seems he has
been more than successful. Jack
rabbits and coyotes are rather
common game in the traps. One
day last week on going to- his
traps he discovered a badger. in
one of them. Then a few days
later he caught a crippled stork,
which he has been trying to do
mesticate.
Yesterday morning he was in,
and told what on going to his
traps on Wednesday found an
immense bob-cat in one of them.
Fearing to tackle the animal with
a club, he ran to the nelghbor's,
Mr.. Wilmuth s and secured a gun.
With this he made short work of
Mr.. Bob cat. With Mr. Wilmuth's
assistance they measured the ami
NAL, which was a little over four
feet long and stood twenty two
inches high. At first we thought
George must have been tackling
something stronger than Estancia
Spring water, but he has promis-
ed to bring in the pelt Of the ami
NAL to show us that it was not
all a dream. George certainly has |
had luck with his traps, or else |
he has all kinds of animals in his
neighborhood, or both.

Fear COnnlnQ
OF R6u6S

1t is learned from an authentic
source that the revolutionists
fear that Reyes will persuade
president Diaz that minister
Limantour has persuaded the
president into granting too many
concessions to the rebels in order
| to bring about peace. 1t is said
that Limantour and Reyes have
never been on good terms, and
that the latter is predisposed to
pick flaws in anything done by
Limantour,
1t is known that when the an
nouncement was made that Gen.
Reyes was to return to Mexico,
president Diaz was informed by
telegraph that his presence might
jeopardize negotiations. Just
what action Gen. Diaz took is
not known, but Reyes postponed
his sailing from the 21st to the
25th. Yesterday he again post
poned it until the 9th, if tele-
gram received here is correct.
Reyes is alleged to be ambitious
to become president, and his in
fluence over the federal army is
great. Whether this would in
fluence his counsel in the Mexi-
can capital cannot be stated, but
it is an assured fact that the rev.
olutionists don't want him there.
1t is feared, justly or unjustly,
that he would bring about modi-
fcations of concessions which the
government is now willing to
make to such an extent that Ma
dero would have no other course
than to reopen the revolution.
knowledge that peace negotia-
tions were proceeding by tele-
graph came as a surprise, as il
had been stated by those NEST
concerned that this method was
too cumbersome and that after
preliminary exchanges of view
by this method it had been de-
termined to leave the work to Of
fetal commissioners.
1t is the intention to continue
discussion of terms by wire with
all possible rapidity, so that the
commissioners will have little
else to do than to put the agree
ment into legal phraseology.

shattered the window and terri

There is no clew to the would

Nobody spoke

Then Captain Darby, with that soft,

of innocence on his face that would

flinched but turned and went back
to the nozzle which was still play

words from the direction he took
which might have been misunderstood
as, "a bunch of liars!" or something
like that
There was quite some fun at the

on the water. Many ladies were out
lined up on the sidewalks, including
Mrs. Frew, Mrs. Foeppel, Mrs. Brown,

BUILDING AND LOAN.
Paying in of $4,000 as Starter Big
Event

The marlborough Building and

organization meeting April 13, at the
Union Church basement, there being
a large attendance. 1t was a novel
experience for Palisade, and a record
that may not be equalled soon-a
record that many larger community
might we'll be proud of. The scene
of the paying in of the actual cash
was one to be remembered, and to
those who were there it was an oc-
casion of most intense interest When
the invitation was rendered for those
who had taken stock to come for
ward and 'pay in" there wasn't ex-
actly stampede, but close to it, and
in little while there was nearly $4,000
laid on the secretary's table in real
money and checks. There was loud
applause when the total was an

Fast Riding.

Sunday afternoon, May Z, a man on
horseback, or ponyback, accompanied
by woman on another both astride,
came tearing through Palisade avenue
at breakneck speed One would have
thought that the Wild West show had
sent out its scouts. The man was ac-
costed by citizen who warned him
that he was riding in violation of the
law, and he jawed back that we did
not stop the autoists, and that he
would ride as fast as he dingblasted
pleased. There was a war of words,
the man talking back in the hardest
kind of fashion, and giving the citizen
the worst of the deal so far as Ian
guage went But when he was asked
to turn round and come to hand, he
baked, slowed up, and the two walked
on down toward Fort Lee. That is,
they walked their horses. He gave
his name as Peter Burns voluntarily.
and said he lived in Edgewater And
if Mr.. Peter Burns will only try his
trick of riding at such speed again
through these Streets and does not
get hauled up before Squire George
d. Roedeles, it will be because there
are not enough town marshals in
Palisade to make a clean job of it.
Mr.. Burns was clearly in the wrong,
and should know better.
