that little understood something On

BIG SOAKING RAIN FALLS
OVER ENTIRE COUNTY
A Whole Week Of Precipitation Prac-
tically Insures Big Wheat Crop.

Rain, which began falling Fri
day, has continued at intervals
almost every day and night
since. At times it came down
like torrents converting h e
streets into rivers and filling the
rain lakes about the country.
Atm time since the country was
settled has the ground been 50
thoroughly soaked at this season
of the year as at the present
time. According to the state
ment Of an old time cattleman,
there has been no such precipi-
tatiOn at this season of the year
since 1891.
The rain viii be of much bene-
fit to the farmers for winter
plowing and those who have
wheat planted are all smiles as
it insures a good crop Of winter
wheat, even in the absence Of
more moisture. All the lakes
are filed with water, which will
benefit the stock raiser and it
will put sufficient moisture in the
ground for early grass.

cation Of "a declaration Of faith which
he gave out on March 6. with the an
nouncement that il contained his views
! on our national position. In that
statement, there We're certain passages
which occasioned mild surprise. among

fIacs are only feared and "a republic
which shakes thrones and dissolves
ariatocracies by is silent example and
give light and Inspiration to those
who 1T in darkness"
Tine declaration Of faith was read by
ambassadors and ministers with much
interest. but it was discovered that II
consisted merely Of excerpts from
speeches made by The Commoner" ten
wears ago. ~ one prominent member

Mr. Eryans maladroit expressions as
something which was TO be expected Of

An unfortunate side Of the affair is
the fact that Nv Bryan's remarks may
contribute somewhat to the difficulty OF
settling the Panama controversy and
may even operate as an obstacle TO a
renewal OF tho general treaty of arbi-
tration. a matter Of far more moment
to the welfare Of the United states
than is generally appreciated.
As Mr.. Bryan left for the West last
night. it has not been possible to ask
him for any application of his anti
