W. J. 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.
