Rainbolt came in from Sparks yesterday and made this office a visit. He and Joe Jennett are camping north of Sparks tak ing care of a bunch of cattle. They take THE DEMOCRAT so as to get the home news. Our mail system is notgood. It is frequently the case that a paper that comes or should come regular ly to this office fails to make its appearance for a couple of weeks or more and numerous complaints reach us that papers mailed from this office do not reach the sub scriber and in some cases we hear that a postmaster informs some subscriber that THE DEMOCRAT didn't come this week or that no paper came to his address. An investigation might reveal the dis honesty .or carelessness of many of these postmasters or their care less clerks. John Sullivan and wife , of Rose bud , came down Tuesday and start ed next morning for Sioux Falls where they vail visit old time friends in the home of earlier days. Mr. Sullivan called on us and though it is our first acquaintance with him we found him to be a gentleman , sociable and intelligent. He holds the position of Boss Farmer in one of the districts on the reservation and is doing good work in several ways in his dis trict , building roads , dams and the teaching of- self support to the Indians in doing this work while improving the country. Any one passing along our streets late Sunday afternoon would have imagined that there might have been some rain. ' Had lie been out for an after dinner onstitional his powers of imagina tion would not have been severely taxedf or he would have had tangible svidence and an ocular demonstra- ion of what Jupiter Pluvius can do even in this locality when he jkinks we need a little moisture. We like it Mr. J. P. but would rather have it in homeopathic doses We cant say that we arc thankful for such large favors , smaller ones would be more to our liking. I } hink the rain God must have lost his reckoning and thought he was hovering over the Carolinas and Georgia or possibly over the ex treme north western corner of Washington , judging from the amount of precipitation with which he flooded some portions of Main and other streets. To the laymen it appeared to have rained several feet , but according to Uncle Sams' offical referee there was 2.42 inches during the afternoon , 2.09 inches of this amount having fallen in one hour and ten minutes. This docs not surpass the record but is one of the heaviest since the establishment of this station. It is the greatest daily amount in August. The nearest approach to this was on Aug. 10 , 1892 when 2.26 inches fell. The greatest rainfall ever recorded here in any 24 hours occurred on the 26th and 27th of June 1891 , when the re cord shows 2.96 inches. Accom panying the rain was a rather se vere thunder storm with deafening l ' peals , the rcverbrations being especially - ' j pecially loud and prolonged and j the flashes of lightening unusually sharp and vivid. The hail which fell varied in size from a cherry to a hen's egg according to the condition of the estimators vision. Fortunately there was no damage apart from the flooding of a few cellars and the burning out of fuses in a number of telephones. * TF" B 0 f" * ffl I A S I * T WE HAVE j Art Squares ? 49 Good patterns and good colors § 4.50 ! to § 5.00 49 49 Table Covers 4 ?
