JIHOKUN BOW , Neb. , June 15. ( Special
Telegram to The Bee. ) This territory was
( nvored last night with the largest rainfall
that It has had for a year. For two days
the rainmakers had been at work trying to
secure rain by artificial means , and It Is to
their efforts that a very large per cent o (
the people attribute the unusual amount of
rain. The ground , which had become very
dry In some localities , was wet down for six
to twelve Inches. The extent of the rain Is
more than 200 miles In length by thirty or
forty miles wide. It almost assures u corn
crop and will greatly Increase the yield of
spring wheat. Farmers and business men ,
who were growing very despondent yesterday ,
arc greatly rejoiced.
OKANT. Neb. , June 15. ( Special Telegram
to The Upe. ) Perkins county was visited
yesterday afternoon by a regular cloudburst.
Two and one-half Inches ( government test )

iety concerning crops. Nearly two Inches of

millet ( or a hay crop.
GOTHENBURG , Neb. , June 15. ( Special
to The Bee. ) Another good rain ( ell hero
last night. It was one of the "clod soak
ing" kind , ( ailing gently throughout the
greater part of the night , and ( armors are
now feeling very hopeful ( or a good crop o (
corn and hay.
WALLACE , Neb. , June 13. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Wednesday afternoon
about forty good people of this place assem
bled at the Congregational church to pray
for rains , and again at 3 o'clock yesterday.
About G o'clock a heavy rain set In and con
tinued until midnight , nearly two and a
half Inches having fallen. While small
grain Is a partial ( allure , corn and other
crops -were greatly benefited. Everybody In
this vicinity Is feeling good today , as the
drouth has been very severe.
COZAD , Neb. . June 15. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) This section was visited last
night by the heaviest rain that has ( alien
( or the last two years. Ualn ( oil steadily
( or about five hours. It was too late ( or the
small grain , but makes the prospects good
for corn. Hundreds of acres of millet are
being sown.
STUART , Neb. , Juno 15. ( Special to
The Bee. ) It rained here nearly all night
last night and the drouth Is broken. There
bad been but two light rains during the past
month. The dry winds of the past ( ew'dnys
bad begun to cause much alarm. A good
corn crop and n ( air hay crop are now almost
a certainty. There are Indications of more
rain today.
HLWOOD Neb. June 15. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) A heavy rain ( ell all
over Qosper county last night , reviving the
spirits o ( everyone. It rained hard ( or five
hours and about three Inches ( ell. The
wheat and oats will bo light , but there will
ba sufficient ( or bread and seed. The corn
had been growing nicely , but was needing
the rain. With ( avorable conditions ( rom
now on this county will raise the largest
crop In Its history. .
ALLIANCE , Neb. , Jane 15. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) A heavy rain lasting sev
eral hours ( ell over this part of Box Butte
county last night and crop prospects are now
very flattering. Grain was backward , but
where well put In has sustained little in :
Jury ( rom drouth.
MADRID , Nob. , June 15. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Never since Its settle
ment has Perkins county received such a
copious drenching as that which flooded the
earth ( or three hours yesterday afternoon ,
and which was followed by a steady rain
through last night. But ( or the ( act that
this county Is comparatively level the un
precedented volume of water which ( ell dur
ing the first three hours would have resulted
In serious damage In the way of washouts.
As It Is the thirsty earth absorbed It all ,
thus assuring a most bountiful yield ot corn
and all kinds ot vegetables , besides a luxuri
ant growth of grass.
Dr. W. J. Bartholomew , who has charge
of the government gauge at Madrid , states
that nearly seven inches cf water ( ell during
the afternoon and last night. Conildcrablo
hall was mixed with the rain , but not enough
to result In serious damage. Owing to the
long continued dry weather and hot winds
there will be no small grain to speak of in
the county , but as there Is a tremendous
acreage of corn , potatoes , millet , roots , etc. ,
the putlook Is very encouraging. The raja-
ing of stock and hogs Is an Important feature
o ( the production of Perkins county and
those engaged In that Industry are wearing
emlllng countenances this morning.

RAN OFF WITH MART.
'Missouri Vntloy Woman Seeking Her Falth-
lc8H Ilnsbanil In Omaha.
"Tho Idea , " she said , "of the old scamp
going off with that woman. Why , she Is
five feet nine Inches high , and that Is three
Inches taller than he Is. I don't see how
ho could bear to do It. I know I am very
much handsomer than she Is. I wish I had
her here now. I would tell her something
that would not sound nice. "
This Is what Mrs. Dr. Gordon of Missouri
Valley said to the Omaha police yesterday.
She was looking for her husband , who had
ran away , and she brought with her from
the Io\\a town a constable , who had In his
pocket -nan-ant for the arrest of Dr. Gor
don for adultery. Mrs. Gordon soys she Is
a physician , as well as her husband , she and
ho going about the country selling a patent
medicine and "curing all Incurable diseases. "
About a week ago they were In Missouri
Valley , awl after a few days there the hus
band began to lavish his affections on
"Mary. " Mrs. Gordon did not like this , but
her husband did not care. A day or two
before they were ready to leave the doctor
took his departure. He did not tell his wife
of It either. With him also went Mary.
The doctor Is a distinguished looking Indi
vidual , rather good looking , with long hair ,
which he combs straight back over his fore
head. He tolls a story of how ho was cap
tured by the Indians , and says he is partly
Indian In his makeup. Ho goes sometimes
by the name of "Spread Eagle" and some
times he calls himself Dr. Frank.

Another .Melodious Success.
At the festival of song at the Fifteenth
Street theater last night another packed
house was present. Fourteen hundred chil
dren took part. The pupils were from the
schools south of Dodge street and from the
High school. The same program was ren
dered as on Thursday night , and as suc
cessfully.
On account of the larger chorus the stage
presented , If anything , a more beautiful appearance -
pearanco Xhan on Thursday night. The
accord between piano and chorus was as
good. The beautiful fairyland waltz was
exquisitely sung and was encored twice.
The change of key In the latter part of
this song was eminently well done.
Both these concerts have been surprises
to the audiences In attendance and reflect
great credit an the Instructors of the chil
dren. It la especially to be understood that
they represent the actual work done In
bchool , and not an exhibition prepared for
the occasion.

rate. That Is to say. If the rats from Fre
mont or Lincoln to Chtcifet ) should bo $100 ,
that the Nebraska roatU- . for the haul of
titty miles to the Missouri rlvur would re
ceive $45 of the rate , 'ami ' the roads from
the Missouri river to Ghldaqo , for the haul
ot 600 miles , would refi-l.ve but 55 per cent
ot the through rate.
"Mr. John E. Utt , the complainant's ex
pert , undertakes to dxcttno this exorbitant
and extortionate demnnd-iof the Nebraska
roads upon the theory that such a distribu
tion of the rate was nccdisary for the main
tenance of the NebntHfca lines , but the rea
sons given by Mr. Utt foir this condition at
affairs Is untenable and unreasonable. In
explaining how this distribution ot rates Is
nude and the reason , therefor Mr. Utt tes
tifies :
" 'The Union Pacific railroad , for example ,
on business from Fremont , Wahoo and Lin
coln , get 45 per cent ot the through rate ,
between thcso points named and Chicago.
For example , If the rate on corn was 22
cents from Fremont to Chicago , the Union
PaclQc would get 9.0 cents and the Rock
Island or Milwaukee & St. Paul would get j
the other remaining 53 per cent of the rate ,
which Is 12.1 cents , and 12.1 cents and 9.0 ,
cents Is 22 cents. As the Union Pacific ex
tends westward their percentage Increases ,
so that In the western part ot the state
they get CO per cent of the through rate , and
the lines between Council Bluffs and Chicago
cage got 40 per cent ot the through rate.
The sonio system of percentage applies to
the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley and
the Northwestern railroad nnd the Burling
ton & Missouri and the Chicago , Burlington
& Qulncy , by which the railroads In Ne
braska are given the largest constructive
mileage In making per cents on through rates ,
and the reason of that Is this : The railroads
In Nebraska have not the earning power to
maintain themselves unless they are allowed i
'
more favorable conditions than would bs
allowed them provided the railroads took the
existing rates between the Missouri river
and Chicago as their portion of the through
rate. '
ALTITUDE OF NEBRASKA RATES.
"In that part of the brief In which wo
compare the rates In Nebraska with the
rates In the state of Iowa , we find that the
present existing local rates in Nebraska nro
more than 40 per cent higher than the rates
In the state of Iowa. Wo further find that
when the rates In Nebraska shall be re
duced to tbo rates established In the max
imum freight law , the rates in Nebraska
will compare favorably with the rates In
Kansas , Wisconsin , Minnesota and the Dakotas -
kotas , and will still be higher than they nro
in the state of Iowa.
"There Is no legitimate reason , based on
local rates , to explain why the roads run
ning from the Missouri river to Chicago
should pay tribute to the roads in Nebraska I j
to the enormous extent as stated by Mr. j I
Utt.
Utt."Let us see If there Is not another plausi
ble excuse for this condition of affairs. The , i
Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy road may be
perfectly willing to make such distribution
ot rates with Its western lines , for the reason - '
son that the bulk of all Its business comes
over the various lines which nro owned
and controlled by It In the state of Ne
braska and which constitute part of Us sys
tem , so that the company , as n corporation ,
loses nothing by such a distribution of rates.
"Again , all the business of the company
accumulating throughout the state of Ne
braska becomes concentrated on Its main
line from the Missouri river to Chicago. The
main line already realizes a large amount
of net profit on Its mileage from the Mis
souri river to Chicago ! „ For prudential rea
sons the company may .desire to apparently
reduce the net Income of the line east of
the Missouri river and odd to the apparent
Income of Its respective , , llnes west of the
Missouri river. ,
"What Is said of the Burlington may also
bo applied to the Northwestern system. These
two great companies , ! malUng such distribu
tion of their Income to the various lines
making up their respective systems , It maybe
bo readily understood , why the Union Pacific
company can likewise obtain the same con
ditions for Itself from , the several connect
ing lines running from the Missouri river to
Chicago In the endeavor of the last named
companies to contrql the business which
comes to them from the Union Pacific sys
tem. By this process thnse large companies
nro not credited with thefr actual Incomes
from their freight rates , but are enabled to
make It appear that the trunk lines are not
earning unreasonable profits by thus dis
tributing their Income upon the mileage of
their branch lines. "

ELLER LOANED THE MONEY.
Judge llaxtcr Seeking to Clcnr Dp Some
Suspicious Probate Jtlnttcrfi.
Ex-County Judge Eller and Ira C. Bachelor
have "been asked by County Judge Baxter
to explain some of their actions respecting
probate matters which Judge Baxter regards
as suspicious. It appears that Eller , while
county Judge , appointed J. W. Buck adminis
trator of the estate of Platte Saunders , vice
E. V. Smith and Isaac Hascall , and allowed
him to take out of the court $1,699.18 , which
was left there when Judge McCulIoch was
In office because several parties claimed the
money. Buck was cited to appear , but Eller
appeared for him yesterday , having with
him an answer signed by Buck , which Is In
the nature of a general denial. He said
that Buck would not answer the citation , as
all the proceedings had been regular. Judge
Baxter has not decided what course to
pursue.
Ira C. Bachelor has admitted that $2,000
belonging to the Andrew Johnson estate was
In his hands as administrator , and that he
had not paid It over to Nellie Weybrlght ,
the solo heir. He was given until next
Wednesday to square the account.

SENATORS INTERVIEWED
CoiuldcrnMo Ktcltrinont II.-M llenn Uiininit

So .Many I'roniliionc Men.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Juno 15. The ex
citements of congress and the Interest
caused by varying schemes and various
measures have been overshadowed of late
by n revelation of the al.ir.nlng death rate
among public men , and the additional ( act
that in nearly every case the cause can bo
traced to one source. The sad nnd sudden
death of ex-Postmalster General Frank
Hatton , who wai stricken at his desk nnd
died shortly afterwards , recall * the deaths
of Secretaries Polgcr , Wliidom , Chandler
and Chase , and Senators Sumncr , Beck ,
Cameron and others.
Now It has dawned upon the minds of
the public men that there must be rome
one great reason for all these untimely
deaths , and It has been traced directly to
that great modern trouble which seems to
be a natural scourge , Drlght's dlzeasc of the
kidneys.
An Interview v. Ith a number of prominent
men on the subject shows the interest they
( eel. Mr. J. II nderson Wilkinson , the well
known pension attorney , said : Ten years
ngo I was seized with an attack o ( BrUht'fc
disease while at work In the treasury here.
How bad I was you can understand when I
ray that my hands became bloated and net *
ually cracked op n. My limbs nnd body
were alternately swollen and collapsed. I
could only creep across the floor. Finally
my physician said to me , "You ore at death's
door with Brlght's disease. You may live \
( ew weeks , but there Is absolutely no hope
of your recovery. " Upon the advice o ( the
Rev. Dr. Rankln , president of Howard uni
versity , I began the use o ( Warner's Safe
Cure , which rescued me from the grave after
the doctors had abandoned all hope. I am
certain that If men and women generally
realized the wonderful power of this great
remedy there would bo less sickness , fewer
deaths , longer llfo and more happiness than
at present. "
Rev. Dr. J. E. Rankln , D.D. , formerly
chaplain of the senate , confirmed all that
Mr. Wilkinson had said and cited many
other cases that had come under his notice
whcro Warner's Safe Cure had restored the
health o ( men and women suffering from
Brlght's disease. Congressman Bclden of
New York , Senator Bruce , Mr. Egleston of
the Treasury department. Senator Black-
burn and others all united In similar state
ments.
Wherever I went I found the testimony
the same. It was generally admitted that
the strains of llfo were wearing , but It is
universally conceded that for overcoming
this condition , for strengthening the vitality ,
toning the health and prolonging the llfo ,
nothing had ever been known equal to the
great remedy I have above described.
