WELCOME RAINS GENERAL IN
NORTH NEBRASKA.
SOUTH DAKOTA QET8 WET ALSO
The Moleturo Wat Needed Dadly In
Some Placet Nothing But an Early
Frost Can Now Prevent a Dumper
Corn Crop.
A generous shower fell Saturday
night and was followed yesterday nf-
tcrnoon by another , n total of , < 51 of nn
Inch of water being preclpltnted altogether -
gothor Thlfl shower cnmo In Just the
right tlmo to provo of Immense ad
vantage to the corn crop. The sur
face of the ground wns beginning to
become pretty dry nnd the moisture
wns really needed to develop the corn
to Its full sire. It would hnvo been a
long ways from a crop failure If there
had been no rain at all , but farmers
were very glad to welcome the show
ers , ns they assure nn Immense crop
of corn nil over this country , If frost
holds off a reasonable tlmo. The
showers were general nil over north
Nebraska and they bring the same
benefit to every section.
P. Madison , n hardware man of
Fairfax , S. D. , was In town this mornIng -
Ing on his way to Deadwood , S. D. ,
and other points In the Black Hills ,
where ho Is going for a ten days' va
cation. Ho says the rnln struck Greg
ory county on Saturday nnd did nn
Immense amount of good. The rain
extended over the reservation , bring
ing relief to ground which had begun
to get very dry. Ho is cnthuslnstlc
over the crop prospects In his section
this year. Small grain Is already out
of the way nnd It only needed this
rnln to assure the maturity of the
corn. Wheat is a good crop , while
oats are Immense , the best that ho
has over scon. Corn wns backward
up to the beginning of the hot weath
er , but It Is now fully ns far nlong as
Is usual nt this tlmo of the year. This
cereal wns never known to grow fast
er than during the past few weeks of
heat. The sod crops on the reserva
tion have been doing fine this year ,
some of the corn being ns good ns
that on land adjoining which has been
cultivated for years , while the flax
will bo n great yield. The excessive
rains early in the season were some
what of n drawback , hut the land
recovered and no bettor crops could
bo asked for from a new country than
those that are being produced on the
now lands of the reservation this year.
G. B. Baiter received a letter this
morning from his son C. B. , who went

homesteaders were beginning to fear
a drouth , but that fear is dispelled and
they are happy.
Dr. P. H. Baiter wan at Wlnnetoon
yesterday , and he says there was a
good rain between Norfolk and that
point
Spencer , Neh. , Aug. H. Special to
The News : General showers fell over
Boyd county Saturday. It was badly
needed for the corn. There was very
llttlo wind , but heavy rain. The thun
der shower will assure the corn , now.

NEBRASKA PROFESSOR TALKS OF
MODERN SIN.
ROSS MAKES MORE ASSERTIONS
"People Do Not Call Boodllng Trea

ment Theft , Speculation Gambling ,
Tax Dodging Larceny. "
"Tho man who picks pockets with
railway rebates , murder with nn adul
terant instead of a bludgeon , burglar
izes with n rakeoff Instead of n jim

us instead of n deck of cards , or scut
tles his town instead of his ship , does
not feel on his brow the brand of the
malefactor. The lattordny treacheries
fly on no skull nnd crossbones nt the
masthead. "
So spoke Professor Edward A.
Ross of the University of Nebraska In
a lecture at the University of Chicago
on "Modern S\n. \ " BUI S > kes. Fngln
and Simon Legree , the gin-soaked ,
skulking , villain types , have passed ,
the professor believes , and today the
cloven hoof hides In patent leather
nnd the modern high-power dealer of
woo wears Immaculate linen and n
silk hat nnd most likely is a philan
thropist.
"Modern sin takes Its character
from the mutualism of our tlmo , " ho
declared. "Tho rise of the state
makes possible counterfeiting , smug
gling , peculation nnd treason. Com
merce tempts the pirate , the forger
nnd the embezzler. Every now fidu
ciary relation Is n fresh opportunity
for breach of trust. The daring sins
of our times are Incidental to the ruth
less pursuit of private ends , nnd the
victims , like the wayfarers run down
by the automobile , nro offered up to
the god of speed.
"But the people do not see that
boodllng Is treason , that blackmail Is
piracy , that embezzlement Is theft ,
that speculation Is gambling , that tax

RESIGNS ALL CONNECTION WITH
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
HE QUITS ALL CORPORATIONS
New Secretary of State Intends to De
vote His Entire Time to the Duties
of His Cabinet Position Was Di
rector In Financial Institutions.
Secretary of Stnto Ellhu Root , who
recently entered Persldent Reese
velt's cabinet , has , says the Times ,
severed all connections with a num
ber of financial Institutions of which
ho was formerly a director. Mr. Root
recently resigned , It became known
yesterday , from the boards of the Mor
ton Trust company , the National Bank
of Commerce , the Continental Fire In
surance company , the Title Guarantee
and Trust company , and several other
corporations.
This action was taken , the Times
continues , in order that ho might as
sume the secretaryship of state with
out being In any way allied with cor
porate interests. In conversation with
his associates ho Is said to have ex
pressed the opinion that it was better
for him to be free from his former con-
nectlon with these institutions as a
director , and for this reason he re
signed from them all.
Mr. Root has been-a director of
some of these Institutions for a num
ber of years , Including the period
when ho was secretary of war. In
quiry among his former fellow direct
ors failed to reveal Mr. Root's reason
for differentiating between the two po
sitions In the cabinet , so far as they
affected his personal business affairs.

WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE LAST
NIGHT IN NORFOLK.
WAS BETWEEN 8 AND 10 O'CLOCK
A Dark Shadow Bit a Chunk Out of
the Lower Portion of the Full Moon
Moon Last Night It Could be Seen
With the Naked Eye Clearly.
A partial eclipse of the moon took
place last night and was beautifully
visible In Norfolk , with a clear sky
and nn atmosphere thnt was well
adapted to the long distance view. At
exactly thirty-nine minutes past 8
o'clock , just as had been predicted by
the nstronomers , the full moon began
to grow black at the lower left hand
edge and the black spot gradually In
creased In size until forty-one minutes
nnd six seconds past 9 , when It looked
precisely ns If half of the sphere had
been bitten off.
The entire eclipse lasted two hours ,
four minutes nnd twelve seconds. At
forty-three minutes and twelve seconds
ends past 10 the whole moon emerged
from its shadow and sailed on serene
ly.
The ecllnso wns visible from nnv
part of the city and was clearly seen
with the naked eye during the entire
period.
An eclipse , ns Is well known , Is
caused by the moon In its 'monthly
Journey passing through the shadow
of the earth. This shadow stretches
out Into space for a distance of 85-
000 miles directly opposite the sun.
As the distance through the shadow
Is at least three times the diameter
of the moon , the lunar planet may be
entirely submerged. But astronomers
have decided that the moon will not
approach too near the earth this time
and will pass through the shadow hun
dreds of thousands of miles away.
Only n part of the shadow struck
the moon , resulting In a partial
eclipse.
Another eclipse Is scheduled for this
month. Shortly after noon on August
30 the sun will pass in total eclipse in
certain regions and the earth will be
left In utter darkness. Unfortunately
Nebraska , or even the United States ,
will not bo In the path of the total
eclipse. The shadow of the moon
strikes the sun first nt Wlnnlpek , Can. ,
nnd a black spot about 100 miles In
diameter travels at a tremendous rate
of speed , reaching Hudson bay in
about three minutes after Its first ap
pearance and continuing across the
Atlantic arrives at London ten minutes
later. Spain will be most favored by
the present eclipse , as the center of
the course lies In that country. For
fully five minutes darkness will en
velop the Spanish territory at different
places and hundreds of astronomers
and travelers are already on their way
thither to observe the phenomenon.
The end of the track will be reached
In Arabia at 2:32 : , having occupied 2
hours and 4G minutes In its 'course
from Canada. *
It may be mentioned that an eclipse
of this kind can be observed on a
bright day when the sun is high , in a
1 manner which , though It may not be
actually Instructive from n scientific
point of view , Is certainly pleasing
nnd picturesque. This observation Is
made , strange to say , not by looking
up to the sun , but by looking down
upon the ground. When the sun
throws n shadow of a tree on the
I road nnd the rays of light passing
' through Interstices between the leaves
form bright spots which , though we
may not ordinarily notice the fact , are
really images of the sun. When n
largo part of the disc of the sun Is
eclipsed then the bright part Is reduced -
, duced to n crescent , and consequently
each of the myriad little solar Images
' on the ground present to us beautiful
crescents.
Death of a Little Child.
Bculah Marie , the two-ycars-oltl

Written in memory of llttlo Beulah
Slgnor by Mrs. I. S. Ham :
Dear little Beulah has gene from our

Gene to dwell in the Savior's fold ,
And though our hearts are bleeding

Dear little Beulah , tender and sweet.

For Ho who has said "forbid them

Has chosen for her a happier lot.
But oh ! It Is well that wo should

That our Heavenly Father has or

It is well with the household pet.
Farewell , sweet child , it Is thlno to go ,

BONESTEEL CATCHER'S ' ARM
Bloodpolsonlng Followed Broken Fin
ger Brought to Norfolk.
Catcher Dickers of the Bonesteel
baseball team was brought to Norfolk
early this morning by Dr. F. G. Salter
of Dallas , for consultation with Dr.
P. H. Salter of this city , in regard to
the condition of the ball player's arm ,
which Is badly swollen from blood
poisoning. It was feared at first that
the athlete might lose his finger but
after the consultation today It was
stated ( that there Is likely no danger
of so serious a result.
Dickers wns playing at Butte the
other day when a ball struck the end
of his finger , breaking the bone.
The broken bone cut the flesh and
blood poisoning set In. The poison
then went up into the arm of the man
and his friends became alarmed over
his condition. He wanted to go to
Kansas City from here.
