There appears to bo considerable dis
pute as to whether what happened last
| night was a rain or not. This paper
speaks knowingly when it states that it
| was a genuine , old fashioned thunder
storm. A weather record discovered In
tliu twins of ancient Nortolk staKs that
quite frequently water fell from oloudH
In drops nnd that often it wa > iieoow-
paniod with brilliant flushes of light ,
termed lightning , followed by a deep
rumbling Bound iu the heavuiiH called
thunder and therefore they were named
thunderstorms. Mr Wright , who num
bers among his ancestors the man who
first discovered the now generally used
vortical-spiral method of producing
moisture , states that ho has In hit * li
brary an ancient manuscript which
HtateH that people actually believed that
tlm production of inoiKture was n nat
ural phi noun 11011 and some held to the
Christian belief that prayers were olll-
caciouH in bringing rain to growing
crops.
Indications denote almost positively
that James T. HolVniun , formerly as
sistant postmaster at Nuwman drove ,

Missouri river at Omaha. The Bee to
day status that his rout , vest and trou
sers wore found on the river bunk near
Furnam street last night. The mother
of Hoffman lives in Newman Grovo.
Ho him been staying in Omaha during
the summer and has lately been mak
ing wire jowolry. Ho was given to
drinking and this note in explanation
of liiHaction wns found in hie ) coat :
"Dear Mother : Whisky is the cause of
it all. I was good for marly two
months then wont wrong. 1 have
enured you all trouble enough. Keep
Tom to remember mo by. This pays
all my debts. My big book with papers
iu it are at the Cambridge hotel. My
grip is at the State hotel. I sold my
tools. You have all been too good to
mo. Your wayward and loving s'on.
Jim. " The police have been investi
gating the case and np to the time the
Bee's report closed had not decided
positively that Hoffman had committed
suicide.
