Ijookliif ; Tor Snioko Con * millers Btrntcclo Vnluo of the Canadian I'noUle Cali fornia nnd Palmer. CHICAGO , I1L , Sept. 10. [ rfpoclal to Tns BKK.J-As a rain mechanic Mr. Frank Mel bourne , late of Canton , O. , nnd now of Choy- cnno , Is literally out of sight. State Senator Kcibrls of that town , who Is nt the Palmer , b authority this statement : "I witnessed his tlrst oxporlmcnt , " 5ald the senator to a reporter for tbo Times , ' 'and ' although I have no more i'Joa than you have as to how It was done , I know that it rained Juat when lit ) said it would , although only a few hours before the shewer the sky was perfectly clear nnd tno local signal service man suld there was no rain in Right any where. Melbourne came to Cheyenne on the Invitation of several prominent citizens , who got up n purse for the purpose. On the day of the experiment I witnessed thcro wcro present beside myself a conunlttco of three , consisting of President Ullchrist of the Melrose - rose National bank , cx-Uovornor Baxter and Perry Oregon , the big cattle man. Up till noon the sky way almost cloudless. Then it began to drirzlo and by 1 o'clock it was pouring down. I had tukon an umbrella along , more as u joke than anything else , but I was very glad to put it up when Melbourne's shower began to operate. Then the sky cleared again nnd Melbourne suld : "In an hour and a half gentlemen , I'll give you another shower , " and sure enough about y0 : ! It began to pour down heavier then it did before. When this was over wo usKod the signal service man how nluoh rain bad fallen , and he said an eighth of on inch. "All this while Mnlbourno was shut Up in the loft of a barn in the suburbs where the experiment took place. All wo saw of him was when ho stuck his head out of a window occasionally and announced thu inundations. What necromantic arts ho employs I hr.vfen't the remotest idea , but I know that as a weather prophet ho boats anything I over seen or hoard of. " I'lltslmrf * Wants No Morn Smoko. It would hardly occur to the average citi zen , perhaps , that Chicago is a place to which a man would come to learn how to get rid of the smoke nuisance. Yet that Is precisely the mission of Mr. T. E. Sumner of Pitts- burg , who Is registered at tnoKichrllcu. Ho represents n numbcrof largo Iron makers and other manufacturers of tbo erstwhile Smoky City , and is examining the patent smoku con sumer which Cardinal Bonils employs in his furnaces , and expresses himself as very much pleased with it. Several smoke consumers arc now being used in Pittsburg1 , but noiio of them qulto combine too degree of cheapness and utility desired. "Since the natural gas began to weaken , " said Air. Sumner , " the manufacturers have been casting about for seine means of doing business without returning to the old order of things. Seine tire using a gas made by the injection of Ohio petroleum Into superheated steam with considerable success. This gas can bo inado at about 10 cents per IKM , ( ) and pro duces n moro intense heat than coal. It re quires quite an extensive plant for its manu facture , however. The older factories which were not built with a view to its use , still employ coal. During the post live years of pure atmosphere a very strong sentiment has grown up against a return to the old condi tion of things which made Pittsburg a by word lor uncleanness , and an ordinance com pelling tno use of smoiro consumers whoro- over smoke producing fuel is used , has been introduced In the councils of Pittsburg and Allegheny City , which will In all probability be passed nnd rigidly enforced. Natural gas is still uod for private dwelling and costs -0 cents per 1,000 not. " Strategic Value of the Canadian. According to Dr. Osborne , n prominent cit izen of Sholbourno , Out. , the British govern ment is getting very much interested in the Canadian Pacitic as a moans of transporta tion in case of war. "The experiment of sending mails to England via the Canadian Paciilc railway , ' said ho , "in which all reo- ords have been broken by a twenty-two day trip between Yokubama and Quoe'nstown , Is to bo followed by another. A body of Brit ish troops Is to bo sent from India to England oy this route and the road is making prepara tions to push them across the country nt a very rapid gate. The disturbance over the Dardanelles Incident lias lout additional In terest , in the mind of the Imperial govern ment , to the strategic advantages of this great transcontinental lino. Of course if a collision should occur between Encluud and Uussla the Suez canal would bo one of the first points of attack , and if it .should fall into the hands of the enemy or ho rendered useless by dynamite the qunon's forces would have the Canadian Pacitic to foil back upon. California Ioiiioor.ufor Pa I in or. Commissioner McUondald of California thinks that the democrats of his Rtato will give a big boost to Senator Palmer's presi dential boom. "I am heartily in favor of a western man , " said Mr. McDonald , "nnd I don't know of any man who would suit mo so well us Senator Palmer. I have talked with u good many other domoarats and iind that the Palme'r sentiment is attaining very re spectable proportions in our state. Cleveland is very unpopular , not only on account of his position on the silver .question but because ho irarslstently turned tbo cold shoulder to us during his administration. lie always seemed to consider that wo were outsiders. " A Great Ycnr for Montana. Charles S. Warren of Butte , a largo mtno owner nnd a member of the republican na tional commission , says the shutting down of the grout copper mine at Anaconda has re sulted In great activity in prospecting and much now and rich ere has uocii discovered. "Montana was never so prosperous as it Is today. " said ho , "and Butte is the Hvllost town in the country outsldo of Chicago. A million a month la paid out thcro now in wages ulono. This has been u phenomenal your for cattle and Montana will not import hay from Nebraska and Iowa us she usually does. There will bo sent out of the state this year $10OUO,00 ( ) worth of cattle , $0,0X,000 ( ) worth of wool and $30,000,000 worth of metals Including cnnnor. " Keeping an ISyo on tlio Mormon * . William J. Fomiomoro , a prominent mer chant who was in the city yoitordny on his xvny east , soy.s that the professed dlsbandon- mont of the people's party has produced llttlo or no effect upon the attitude of the liberals. "There nro u good many democrats and a good many republicans in Utah , " said ho , "and In the course of tltno they will no doubt form sop.u-iUo parties , but the tune has not come yet. The manifesto of the leaders of the church In regard to the people's party was rocolvoil with suspicion and largely from the very fact that it was apparently implicitly ohoyod. Men who hud boon voting together nnd fighting to gether for years suddenly annoiinood their intention of voting the straight dem ocratic or the straight republican ticket , an the case might bu , nnd ostensibly wont heart and soul Into the republican and democratic parties. Everyone with a little bit of ox- porlcnco nnd common souse knows that men's political opinions don't undergo such radical changes in u night. ThU is the view the liberals take of it , nnd they will keep to gether for a good wtnlo yet. The chief value of tbo manifesto U that It gives the younger element among tbo Mormons an excuse for afllliatlng with the progressive element hi the community represented by the liberals , and ttioy are taking udvantacro of it. Who it the old-timers among thu Mormons pass away and the generation now growing up takes hold of affairs , party lines will probably uo formed us in other parts of the union * but until then necessity will keep the liberals to gether , Irrespective of belief on national Is- BUCK , To Avoid Huinmnr Allmontw.

OMAHA MEN WERE SHUT OUT Very Peculiar Mathods of Awarding ( bu- tracts for Doing Stito Work. * MR , MOSIIER CAPTURED MIS SHARE OF IT. In This Cnso n Ijow Iiuni | > Illil Wns Itrjnclcd for IMuuo Contracts at n Much Orontcr Cost. Some of the state ofllcors diu'o adopted ways of tholr own for handling the public fund and letting public contracts. Last winter the legislature appropriated the sum of $10,000 , for Improving the grounds about the titato university building at Lin coln. Of this sum It win contemplated that the grounds would bo cradod down , a side- wnllc laid and some driveways built. Shortly after the appropriation was made , the Board of Hcgonts declared In favor ot the Improve ments. Last July Superintendent Chowin prepared the plans and specifications for grading down the cast sldo of the campus , laying a stone walk on the south and west sides , another walk from the south line of the campus to the building , n driveway from the north , with a fouco around the wholo. Tun specifications provided that the contractor should furnish all work mid material required to complete thu nntlro lob to the entire satis faction of the superintendent ami the whole to Do performed under his directions. The grading was to bo done In tno usual manner , but the driveway was to have boon tilled with largo broken stone to the depth of six Inches , thoroughly rolled. After that tnoro was to have been a coatof broken stone and gravel six Inches in thickness , crushed into place , presenting a perfectly smooth roadway , with the crown six inches above the sides. The sidcualks were to have been of cl rosso J stone , thruo inches In thickness. It was upon these spoclllcatlons that the Hoard of Regents Invited bids. Knowing that the board Had invited bids on the entire job , J. W. Furnas & Son of this city , sub mitted the following , end paid no more at tention to the matter until a few days before the award was made : Hoard of Itoxonts.

Wo will furnish a guarantee bond that this work will remain in perfect condition for one year. July 10 , Messrs. Furnas & Son received a loiter from D. C. Aloshcr of Lincoln , who wrote us follows : "Since wo figured on the university work. I find a llttlo loss out on the east sldo anil tuk- Inc all In consldeiatlon. think wo can flgnro sufuly on 1U.UOU yards at HI cents. Make your Hcnros on that basis and $ .10 > 'or soJdlng , and consider this as a proposition between us. " Not having had any dealings wltn Moshor , and not considering him a party in interest , no attention was paid to his communication. A few days later when the bids opened , tbo Messrs. Furnas learned that they stood no show of getting any of the contract. Not withstanding the fact that the board had asked for bids for doing the whole of the work , Lincoln contractors \ \ croon hand with bids for the work that suited them host. Contractor Buckstalt had a bid for a brick covered driveway , something that was not mentioned In tbo specifications and to him the contract was awarded at $3,500 , whllo if constructed according to specifications it would have cost but ? l,80J. Moshor hie on the sidewalk , the grading nnd sodding. Ho was let out on the sldo- walk , but cot the balance , the grading and sodding at $2,570. Tim Handera stone people , who have a res ident agent at Lincoln , who is a brother-in- law of the county Judge , bid W.025 on rough Handera stone , and had no trouble about- walking away with that portion of the con tract. The peculiar thing about the whole trans action was that the Omaha men were the only contractor * who bid on the work In a lump. To them it looked as though it was a nut up scheme , not only to freeze them out , but to gat a uico llttlo slice of state money to divide up among Lincoln contractor. The figures bear out the statement. Taking the brick in the driveway , at the usual price , 81.05 per yard , the 1,110 yards would have cost $1,821 , but It was given to Uudcstotf at W.fiOO. Tbo city of Lincoln contracts for the lay ing of IJandora sandstone nt 18 cents per square foot , but In tills sidowallc the state paid for It at the rate of . ' ! , ' . < j cents , nnd the rought arllclo at that. Figuring out the grading , under Furnas' bid , It would have cost the state $1,070 whllo with the contract mudo with Moshor it cost JGOO more. People not only here , but in Lincoln , will ask the regents to explain this nut. 1506 Farnim Street. THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE GL 6 VE HO USE IN THE CITY.
