Mr. RalnffUror Melbourne has , so the dls-
Aiatchcs state , boon onaairoj by nome cred
ulous people In Grand Island and vicinity to
produce or Induce n full of rain In thut part
of iho stato. Ho will It is stated , bogln to
manipulate tbo oloroonts totnorroiv.
Mulbourno may bo n rank humbug but ho
is no fool. On the ether hand , ho elves ovt *
deuce of being n very shrewd , bright fellow.
Every attending clroumstanco seems to in-
dlcato tlfat ho Is n close student
of motcoroloR.v , cllroatio conditions , and
the Rtato of the wcathor gonornlly.
\Vbcn Melbourne undcrtakos to producerntn
tit a glvon llmo and plnco he usually run the
hand or Omnipotence on his side , although
the people who pay him for lai alleged rain-
ttaklnif don't sue It. Mulbourno makes n
largo shore of the noise , but nature brings
'the ' ruin. At least that Is the conviction of
those who huvo made a study of his opera
tions.
Opportune Time.
"Thoconditions central and
through east
ern Ncbntdim just now are very favorable
for copious rains within the next few days , "
Haul Mr. S. S. Husslorvlio lias charge of
thu Otnnha station of the woiahor bureau.
"Look at this map and you can see nt a
glance that It is iilmoit certain to rain somewhere -
where In the region covnrod by this area of
low barometer , " continued the observer.
"You see this low b.iromotor covering nn
area reaching from below Pueblo In a northeasterly -
easterly direction up Into Minroso'.a , with
its center here In eastern Nebraska , Is
being held back by an area of high
barometer east of us while another high
baromutur Is pressing down from the north-
west. The low barometer district is being
caueczed and actually flattened out. A low
barometer means light , warm air , while a
high means cold , heavy ulr. A low barome
ter with u high approaching Is most favor
able for precipitation , especially when the
atmosphere Is well filled with vapor as It Is
licro ut present. The conditions are such
here In eastern Nebraska that a sudden
change In temperature from low to high or a
concussion or shock would bo vcrv likely lo
oroduco rain. It Is VIT.V probable that this
low laromotcr must aivo way. The high
cast of us and the high now approaching
will soon moot and shoot this low
section out from between them as
you would shoot a mnvblo from between
your thumb and linger. Then there will i o
rainfall , attended by thununr and lightning.
There It also danger of severe storms along
the south eastern borders of the low urea.
"Of course. I am not pretending to slate
Whore this rain will „ full or where those
storms will occur. I am only stntlutr that
which Iho present conditions indicate ,
.liny Itnln In Splto of Mnlbourno.
M would not say a word about Mr. Mel
bourne and his methods. It makes no differ
ence to mo how much monov the people pay
blm ; but I simply tinvo this remark lo make
concerning his attempt to niuKo it rain
\vlthln tbo next few days in central or
eastern Nebraska. I bcllovo that the
great Kulor of the universe is about
to bring rum in His own peculiar
\vav at several points and possibly all over
the area covered by this low barometer , and
if it ruins at Grand Island within a few
dayK , and while Melbourne Is at work with
bis explosives and cas , or whatever it Is that
bo uses , the fuct of its raining will
not , to my * mind , bo a proof that
Melbourne has produced the precipitation.
It is barely possible that , under the cir
cumstances , with the conditions so favorable
for ruin , n fow.hcavy explosions in mlil-nlr
might bring about precipitation , Just as tno
firing of heavy artillery during battle has
often boon followed by a downfall
of rain. But all great battles
in .which heavy artillery played a part have
not producoa rain. This , I think , shown that
certain climatic conditions are absolutely
necessary before explosions in or concussions
of the air will produce rain. I fool perfectly
Bale in saying that with a set
tled high barometer Mr. Melbourne might
shoot at the atmosphere till doomsdny and
not bring rain. There would bo no moisture
In the atmosphere to bo Jolted out. In a low
barometer the atmosphere expands anil takes
up moisture so that when It is uomprossea or
suddenly disturbed precipitation Is al
most sure to follow. Hot , light
oir will absorb a great deal ol
moisture. Sometimes you can see rain fall
ing from an upper stratum of air and it never
readies the ground. It strikes a warm , light
( tralum of air and evaporates.
Promising Outlook for Now York.
"Areas of low barometer pass across
the continent from west to oait but lu
o northeasterly direction , white arooa ol
lilch barometer pursue a south
easterly direction lu their passage from
west to oast. The winds blow inward all
around the cantor of an area of low barome
ter and they blow outward from tbo center
of an urea of high barometer. In the center
of an area of low barometer there Is
a cnlm and the air Is rising. It is
the center of an inverted funnel
with the air pouring up through it. Aflor
tills light , warm air roaches a curtain
altitude and gets cooled off it spreads out like
water spurting out of a fountain and finally
becomes heavy and falls somewhere forming
n high barometer whure It falls. The ureas
of high und low barometer foliow each otbor In
succession bringing the variations anu
chances that wo experience. " *
Ucfcrrlni : to the warm wave that Is now
FU'ihiiir ; towurd the east , Mr. Uasslor ald :
"Tho pnonle down cast uro likely to catch a
eroat old roasting to wind tholastof the week
They buvogot to have u taste of this low
area that has bocti hanging over
the west for a week or more. It Is moving
eastward now and when it roaches Now
York it will In nil probability be torrlllo.
AVe will soon got tbo area of Ultra barometer
coming down from tbo northwest. You will
notloo that it isit ) tins morning at Helena. "

The Diu-nutn & Dalloy Groatesl Show on

owns nnd exhibits more foreign rare animals
mid birds than any traveling exhibition in
the world , uud aside from the altrantlona of
the Ihu circuses , double museum nnd hip
podrome anil the splendor of the "Columbus"
display , It Is worth many times the admis
sion fee to iho stiow to inspect the zoological
wonders.
Using the most modest language possible ,
it Is only truth to say thot it is the best and
most varied collection of wild rare and cur
ious animals over seen in tbo city. The
annuals of the ruminant tribe arn particu
larly rare , and Is a splendid specimen of its
kind. There is a rare spoclo.s of gnu , or
horned ho o , from the mountains of Africa ,
mid different in many particulars from the
lowland gnus usually seen in captivity , beIng -
Ing piebald for ono thing , while the species
ordinarily seen is black. A pair of
uncommonly line African porcupine occu
pies ono cage and an enormous wart hog
from Aboysslnla another. Rare specimens
of Alpine , African and Asian antelopes are-
shown , among them an eland and au oryx
and a uytgau and a springbok. "
Tbo animals of the cat kind are without
question the 11 nest , whether taken singly or
collectively , of any in any zoological garden
In the world. There is one cage
of tbroo grand , full-grown lions ;
another contains a lioness and her
family of four young , wicknd-looklng cubs ;
another has throe baby panthers : another an
infant kangaroo , and so ou , forming n verit
able zoologlo nursery of most curious babies.
There Is another cntro of three enormous
ticors ono of them said to bo the largest iu
captivity , and a lordly boast ho Is , too. The
leopards are beautiful specimens of ttioir
kind ono being black , and there is another
cage of ferocious panthers. There U a cage
of luughlhg hyenas and another of Siberian
wolves. There nro n number of iho largest
Dears in captivity , from the Uocky mountain
silver tipped with claws live inches long , to
the huge , gaunt , restless polar species. Tbo
only performing hippopotamus in the world Is
there , weighing over two tons , and what is
known as a bleed-sweating specimen. His

the monkey family of 150 members , 'i'hoso

MR , MURPHY HAD LEFT TOWN
Ho Forgot to Sign a Pnving Bond Before Ho
Wont.
LEAVENWORTH STREET AGAIN LEFT OUT
Now the Council Will Cull Mr. Murphy to
f Tlmn on this Contract or T.oio
Ills Other Work-Tlio Anphnlt
Contracts.
Several mom bors ot the city council who
claim to have discovered tbo location ot a
largo sized African in the woodpile have
determined to smoke him out.
There is lots of talk among tno councilmcn
and other city oftlclaU which Indicates that
there Is something somewhere that Is in a do-
com oosoJ condition. This U all brought
about by the fuct that Hugh Murphy Tuesday
nlRht fulled to present his bond , guaranteeing
that ho would pave Loavonxvorth itroot with
brick.
Some weeks a so the Board of Publlo
Works asked for bids for pavlnp numerous
streets In the city. Among other streets was
Leavonworth which was to bo ropavod.
Murnhy never hod boon In the brick bust-
nosi , but on thlsttrootandonnoothcrhobid ,
unreelnfr to repair the street with vitrified
brick , with a ten-year maintenance at the
ridiculously low price of SI.43 per square
yovd.When
When the property owners loomed the
price they unanimously petitioned for brick
and Murphy was awarded the contract , by
the Hoard of Public Works.
This was some days ace and Tuesday niRht
with the exception of this ono all of tbo bonds
at.d the contracts reached the council. The
members were busy and it was not until
after adjournment that they discovered that
Murphy's Leavonworth street contract was
not In the bunch.
Early yosterd ay tbo matter became tbo sub
ject of discussion and It at once became
apparent that It was a schema upon tbo part
of Hugh Murphy.
Murpliy Wn > Away.
Murphy was out of the city and coneo-
queutly It was impossible to learn why ho
bad failed to bo on hand with bis bond. His
right baud man , however offered an ex
planation by saying that Murphy was sud
denly , unexpectedly ntid unavoidably called
out of the city anu did not huvo time to prepare -
pare his bond ; that ho was acting in good
fuitb nnd that tbo bond would bo before tbo
council next Tuesday night.
There are members of the council how
ever , who have no hesitancy In saying that
Murphy acted In bud faith and Intended to
delay the roouvinp of Leavomvortu street
until next year. Ho bid , they say , f 1.43
knowing that ho could not do the work for
that money , and would rather lose his S1.UOU
forfeit than to go on with the paving. If the
work could bo put oil he had nn idea thai ho
would tire out tbo property owners and
eventually make them accept Colorado stone ,
his favorite material , at his own price.
The members of Iho Board of Public
Works stated that Murpliy went out to get
his bondsmen on tbo contract but failed to
ruturn , consequently they were unaolo to
send bis bond to tt.o council.
Councilman Specht snld yesterday : uln
awarding tbo contracts last night for the sev
eral districts the council approved all tbo
contracts , and was under the Impression that
all the contracts wcro legal and right , out as
the citizens and the council nro nwaro the
chairman of iho Beard of Publlo WorKs is In
cahoots with Hugh Murnhy , so that all con
tracts were lot except the Leaven worth street
contract , which was pigeon-holed in the in
terest of Murphy. It is a rule that all con
tracts should fo to tbo city engineer for bis
certification , which rule was observed iu the
case of the contracts of Smith & Co. and
others , but not ono ot Hugh Murphy's con
tracts was sent to the city engineer for bis
certificate. Now iho council and tbo people
would like to have Mr. Birkbausor explain
why tbeso contracts did not go to the city
engineer for his corlitlcato tbo same as is
customary , aud , also , why ho did not notify
the council that tbo Loaveu worth street con
tract was not amongtbem. "
Slay Cancel Ills Contracts.
It is about settled that the mayor will bold
all of the Murphy bonds until that date and
if the Loavcnworth street contract is not
forthcoming all of the bonds will bo rejected
and to the council there will be sent a veto
message. That the vote will be sustained
there remains no doubt , as eight members of
tbo council bavo sworn to stand by the
mayor and bis veto. Should this follow , all
of Murphy's contracts on the following
streets will be rejected : Sixth streoi , from
the south line ot Plerco street to tbo north
line of Hickory ; Lcavcnworln street from
the west line of Tenth to the east line of
Kloventh ; Twelfth street , from the south
line of Jones to the north line of heaven-
worth ; Uurt , from the woitlino of Fifteenth
to the east line of Sixteenth : Californiafrom
Fifteenth to Sixteenth ; Izard , from Twelfth
to Fourteenth : Sherman avenue , from the
south II 1:0 of Grand avenue to Fort street.
AS TO ASPHALT.
City Engineer Jtotiowator Saj'H the Highest
JiiililarH Iluvu H Scheme.
The paving of Lathrop street from Sher
man avenue to Eighteenth street and tbo re-
paring of Purk avenue from Lcavenwortb to
Hickory streets , wus thoroughly discussed by
the councllTuosdny night. The matter is still
in a [ uncle. Some claim thut bids must bo
ruadvertlsed for ana some hold otherwise.
In tbo early season Andrew Jalcks of
Chicago bid and secured most of the strcots ,
bidding for asphalt thu land product. Jolclts
bid was knocked out whpn it got up to the
council. At the tirao of awarding the
contructs , the bid of the Barber company ,
which was SJ.DS class "A" ind 3.81 class
"B , " with alive-year guarantee ; $ J.8 ! ; class
"A" and W.'Jl class "B , with a. ton-voar
guarantee , was thrown out as bemg exces
sively blub. That loft the city with
out any asphalt contract on cither
of the streets. Then a now ordi
nance was Introduced , which pro
vided that pitch lake asphalt only could bo
used iu this city. This ordinance was
passed and vetoed by the mayor , but the
vote was rejected.
City EngineerHosowator , In speaking ot tbo
asphalt cqu&bblo , yesterday aald that it was
simply a schema to lot tbo contract to the
highest bidder. Tbo reformers had howled
for competition , and alter they secured that
competition they refused to accept it. The
council bad no more right to designate the
oxaot location from which the aspbRltshould
be taken than they had to say that all
vitrified bricn should bo burned in
ono certain kiln. They bad no more right to
establish cbls arbitrary rule than they had to
soy that each blocK of Colorado stone should
bo taken from Hugh Murphy' * quarry. Mr.
Rosewater held that it was all wrong aud
against public Interests.
