llnlnninkrr Wrlrcat nt 'Work.
KatnmaKer Wright last night began bli
bombardment of the heavens In order to
produce rain. Ho kept up the firing until
6 o'clock this morning, when he was com
pelled by exhaustion to cease his efforts.
Hut three men had appeared to assist htm
any they were Incapabla of keeping the
twenty-five mortars In active operation.
Some difficulty was also experienced by tho
btrength of the powder, which was so
groat that It sent several of tho funnels
whirling Into tho air. It Is through these
rifled funnels that the air Is driven before
mingling Vlth the outsldo atmosphere.

the progress of the experiment It went
lower nnd lower. The low area of pressure
which was hanging about tho outskirts ot
Nebraska has been offered In explanation of
this phenomenon and the weather depart
ment Is hopeful of getting local rains by
next Friday or Saturday.
The neighbors around tho scene of the
bombardment aro driven almost to the verge
of hysterics by tho nolso and confusion.
One of tho sufferers today consulted a law
yer, hoping to sccuro an Injunction and tie
up operations should Mr. Wright start In
again tonight. This man Is quoted as
saying that Mr. Wright cannot bring rain
nnd for ono he would enjoy a little sleep.
Rainmaker Wright dcnlos that there Is
such a process as evaporation. Instead
water decomposes and returns to tho orig
inal elements, oxygen nnd hydrogen. This
takes place upon the application of heat.
Electricity fuses tho two gases. In order
to produco rain It Is only necessary to pro
duce electricity nnd an Intermingling of the
gases. This Is In brief his theory and he
expects to produco the commotion by dis
charging In succession twenty-five mortars,

In commenting on the naval controversy
W. J. Bryan takes tho side of Rear Ad
miral Schley, giving htm credit for tho
victory at Santiago and declaring It a
"pity that there should be any controversy
that seeks to discredit a bravo, hotiorabla
and modest sea tighter, who successfully
led the Amorlcan forces In ono of tho
greatest. If not the greatest, naval battles
In the history of the world."
Mr. Bryan denounces tho Maclay history
of the strugglo and thinks It strange that
a historian finds It necessary "to rcBort to
tho lowest form of abuse In dealing with
an historical character," adding:
"As a clerk In the navy yards he should
bo displaced, because of bis outrageous as
saults upon a man who has been the pa
tient victim of tho most remarkable sorles
of nttacks recorded In Amorlcan history."

the Wound.
BEAVER CITY. Neb., Aug. 1. (Special
Telegram.) Tho myatery surrounding tho
caso of Thomas Cheney, who was found
ycotcrday with ono arm nearly sovcroii
from his body, has been but partially
cleared up. The Injury was done with an
axe, which was found near tho old man
with blood on the blade.
Cheney has regained consciousness to
somo extent and seems to wish to convey
tho Impression that ho nttempted suicide,
but cutting off an arm Is not generally ac
cepted as being tho most approved method
of Belt-destruction. Cheney lived olono
with a half-witted son, and many believe
that It was he who attempted his father's
life. Tho Injured man had lost so much
blood when discovered by a neighbor that
life was nearly extinct and, although ho
haa rallied at Intervale, the doctor has but
little hope for his recovery.
