In note entitled Chemistry of Rare
RAIN" writer in The Lancet london,
May llth,) describes results that Indicate
the presence of special fertilizing agents
in rain that falls after the prevalence of a
long dry spell. He says;
After a drought continuing for five
weeks rain fell on Saturday last generally
throughout the country. and the opportunity
was thus afforded Of examining samples
of rain with the view of ascertaining
whether the long arid interval had affected
its composition in any way. Clean sam
pies Of the water caught on the roof of the
Lancet offices about an hour after the
shower had begun were submitted to par
tial analysis with interesting results. A
feature of the analysis was an unusual
amount of ammonia in the water. This.
Of course. had been washed out Of the air.
The quantity found was equal to 0.525
grain of ammonia per gallon of the rain
water. This is about seven times the amount
found volume for volume. in rain in nor
NAL times Of rainfall. The suggestion is
that the first shower Of rain which sue
ceeds drought has in it augmented fer
tilizine properties. and it is probable that
this delayed fall serves as specific stimu-
liant to vegetation apart from the refresh
ing qualities Of rain as rain. 1t is note
worthy that vegetation rapidly RECEIVERS
its delightful, soothing, fresh Green aspect
when the shower that has been long time
coming at length drops upon the place

should perform and finally. that the only
satisfactory solution Of the parcel post
problem begins with cOndemning the ex-
press companies and operating the bust
ness by the Postoffice Department. This
done all other steps essential to the most
perfect express system Of any nation are
easily taken.
Any parcels post system which compels
the Government to duplicate any cOnsid-
siderable part of the vast equipment, rail-
ways terminal facilities. etc, In order to
compete with the existing express compa-
MES Is a mistake. for upon the people then
falls the burden Of supporting as well the
competitive express companies and the
parcels post rates will be higher than they
would be If this competition was eliminated.
The GREAT danger now confronting the
friends of the postal reform Is that Of
hasty action by Congress before all the
factors of the great problem have been
fully considered
Every reader should write to his mem
Der of Congress for the following docu-
ments, If he has not already done so, and
when he has studied them write again
giving his views, for our members Of Con-
gress are now in receptive mood and
anxious to move for a real parcels post

Letter From Cofnas.

Mr.. Editor Il am happy in stating that
our farmers are also happy. OF course,
there are some that are never happy; they
say that there is fly in the wheat, that the
corn is late, and bountiful Mother Nature
will give us plenty of roasting ears for
our Christmas dinner. 1t is impossible for
Nature to please ALL The cool, dry weather
is splendid for wheat. but not for the growth
of corn. However this may be, farmers
are planting every available foot of ground.
and the acreage of wheat is very great.
have seen fields of wheat that promise
thirty bushels to the acre.
The slaughter Of timber is very great in
this district and the woodman's axe will
soon rob us of trees even in our yards.
There will soon be no resting place for the
rabbit and squirrel, which reckon will be
quite pleasant for the scientific man who
says the squirrel scatters the germs of the
bubonic plague. For my part. would
much rather see the man exterminated
who utters such nonsense and makes some
nervous persons uneasy than the bright
and playful little squirrel that does no
harm to any one. When visit the parks
in our cities am delighted to see these,

win ter. They are so tame that have had

Obituary.

Mrs Frances Rebecca Hilton, relict Of
the late William T. Hilton. died at her home
in GAINESVILLE. on Sunday. June 18th, In
her 82nd year. She was born In Wirtem-
berg, Germany but when child came to
this country with her father. Mr. Jacob
Snyder, who. with some other German
families. located In that portion OF our
county still known as Germantown. On
November Il. 1850. she was married to
Mr.. William 7. Hilton. and has lived in or
near GAINESVILLE ever since. She left four
children. Henry M. and Clagett C.. Of the
business firm VIM. 7. Hilton 4 Sons; Mrs.
Sidonia +. Story, wife Of Thos. Story. Of Bar
nesville, and Mrs. Jessie v. Price. widow Of
Geo. E. Price. late Of Alexandra. Va. These
were all with her TO close her dying eyes.
Mr.. Jacob Snyder and Mr.. John Snyder. Of
Germantown are her brothers. She was a
devoted Christian and evidenced her Faith
by her Works Never blessed with a su-
perfiuity Of means, yet ever ready to share
what she had with the needy. Her warm
sympathy and kindly personal help went
much farther In cheering the sOr0wing
and relieving the suffering than could ma
terial aid. For the last two years Of her
life she was confined to her bed and suffered
severely. but was patient and murmured
not against Gods will. In our poor. weak
reason we wonder that one whose life had
been 80 pure and useful should be subject
90 such suffering at It's close, but II wal

her. but rather. II we could see II Alright

Pretty Home Wedding.
Evening Telegram. Warrington. W. Va.

Evening Telegram. Warrington. W. Va.
The residence of DR.. and Mrs. W. R
Andrews. on Howard street, was the scene
of pretty wedding Wednesday afternoon
June 18th. when their daughter, Miss
Caroline Elizabeth, was united in marriage
to Mr.. Omar H. Stout, Of Clarksbure.
The bride is well and iavorably known
in Warrington, where she has a host OF
friends. She graduated from the Manning
ton High School few years ago. and
after some special work at the West Vir-
sinia University, Moreantown. Legan teach
ing in this district, where she has special
lied on primary work and has made
marked success in that line in our local
school, where her presence will be much
missed
The groom is one of Clarksburg's' most
promising young men and has been in the
B. & o. Railroad Company on the Parh ers-
burg division for a number of years. lie
now has charge of the Clarksbure yards Tor
that company. The families of the con =
tracing parties have been intimate friends
for several years.
In difference to a long cherished notion
of the bride, no married people were guests
at the wedding except the parents of the
bride and groom, and all others present
wU.g intimates of the bride. The ring
ceremony was used, Rev. j. A. MacRae, of
Morgantown, friend of the bride, and
Rev. C. E. Goodwin, the brides pastor, per-
forming the same.
Girl friends had tastefully decorated the
home with green and white, which had
been provided by some of her male friends,
and the effect was very pleasing. All the
functions of the affair, though simple, were
very impressive The bride was tastefully
eowned in white and carried an immense
bouquet of white roses with green foliage.
After the ceremony the bride furnished
all the guests with roses. After the serv-
ing of a delicate luncheon. to avoid
waste q'srice and old shoes at the depot,
the couple slipped out Of town on the 6
1 rclock electric car, giving friends the i'm
preston that Fairmont was the immediate
destination as the beginning of an eastern
trip. However. Mr.. Walter Koen. friend
of the bride. was in waiting at the Home
wood Pottery with his auto, where he took
the couple and toured about the suburbs
of the town until the 6:45 train pulled into
the depot. when quick dash landed them
at the Pullman steps on Market street
crossing and they thus quietly slipped out
Of town for the Great Lakes, Detroit, St.
Joe. Chicago. Milwaukee and leisurely
return trip. including Kentucky and Tonnes
see, Nashville and the Mammoth Cave be-
ing objects of the itinerary. They will be
at home to their friends in Clarksburg after
August LIST.
The bride was the recipient of eener-
GUS number of useful presents from her
friends. notwithstanding an effort had been
made to keep the date Of the coming nup-
tlals generally secret.
