A good general rain fell over the north ern and western part of state Saturday and Saturday night, and every Indication promises that It will reach south and east to Omaha. The railroads running out of Omaha report rains that fell steadily from an hour to two hours and a half last night, and prospects were excellent for more of the welcome pre cipitation today.

Many ot the best agricultural' sections of southern Ne braska have not yet been visited. Along the lines of the Union Paclflo heavy rains that varied around half an inch fell between' Grand Island and Co lumbus, while east from Columbus to Fremont slightly lighter rains fell. On the Norfolk branch, in the vicinity of Cedar Rapids, good rains fell at odd times Saturday and continued well Into last night. The Northwestern lines reported a two and a half hour rainfall all along the route from Oakland north, and stations along the Norfolk branch reported to the local dispatcher that good rains were falling and heading In the direction of Omaha. At Wakefield and other stations on the Minneapolis & Omaha road, rains were falling and showed no signs of dis continuing.

STATE BANKERS MAKE PROTEST Provision of Montr Measure Glvln Dnnki Privilege ot Loaning Montr on Ileal Estate Criticised. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-(Spcclal Tele gram.) Events in congress will prevent the attendance at the Interparliamentary union to be held August 23 at The Hague of Senator Norrls and Representative Klnkald, both of whom had tentatively made plans to go. The American dele gates arc selected by congress and It was expected three senators and five 'representatives woutd go, with a possi bly larger attendance, it seems doubt ful now that even the eight delegate will attend. Representative Klnkald said today that ho regretted that he would be unable to attend. The possibility that a vote will bo taken In the hoiise on both tariff and currency bills, he said, made It 'In advisable for him to leave. There are certain amendments to the currency bill especially In which he Is Interested, and the passage of "which he expects to urgo when the bill comes up for discussion. Warrick In Cnpltal. S. K. Warrick of Scott's Bluff has been In the city for a day or two. He at tended the conferenoe of western bank ers at the Treasury department and has also been making some effort to prevent. If possible, the adoption of the free sugar provision In tho tariff bill. He has not met with much encouragement from the .M nMV.jt..ci nf it st rt rrv a whom llA hR fi.t - . ,1,1-1, ia narrow margin which Is left to the dem ocrats through the death of Senator Johnston of Alabama, It Is not generally believed that any change can be made In the free sugar program. While Senator Hitchcock voted against the free BUgar amendment in caucus he stated at the time that he expected to abide by the caucus Instruction In that respect when the final vote Is taken on the tariff bill. Cnnvnss of Senate. A canvass of the senate has recently been taken with a view of finding some loophole by which the free sugar amend ment might be defeated. The result, how ever, has apparently given no hope to those who arc opposed to It, and It Is be lieved that tho caucus instruction on Uie measure will stand. The recent conference of western bankers with Treasury department offi cials gave tho delegates an opportunity ot presenting their views to currency leaders, and it is believed here that some of their recommendations may bo adopted before the bill Is finally enacted. That these recommendations must be adopted before tho bill will receive any repub lican support from Nebraska members is Indicated by Representative Barton. Referring tdthe ciirrehcv .Brozram to. day Mr. Barton ealdlha'UresJiztng'that currency reform was needed he Had favored putting some measure .through If It seemed an improvement over present conditions. But he feels Jhat he cannot vote lor tne administration bin in Its present form. Mr. Barton stated that he has received a good many objections to the bill from various quarters in his district and In other parts of Nebrauka, and that the" objections seem sound to him. Received Many Objection, One strong objection urged In letters and also pressed by the Nebraska bankers who attended the recent con ference Is the provision relating to glv. lng national banks the privilege of loan. Ing money on real estate. It is pointed out that this provision puts entirely too short a limit of time for which such loans can bo made. Real estate loans under the present bill can run for nine months only. Most real estate loans now run for from three to five years, and a limit of nine months, n said, would practically forestall any loans being maoe on such security. jtrprencmnuve aiepnens nas some amendments that lie expects to urge bo- xore tne caucus Monday night. One of these relates to the deposit that member banks must make with the reserve cen ters. Mr. Stephens believes that tha member banks should be allowed to de posit commercial paper with such banks in ueu or the cash deposits now reaulred He suggests that If a cash deposit Is required from each of the thousands of tne DanKs that may become members o reserve aistncts, It will create a shortage in currency, which will be ten an over the country, and serlouslv cripple everyone, banks and customers alike, as loans of banks would have to be recalled In order to provide cash to mane tne required deposits. But If com mercial paper could be used to mako Bucn deposits the loans could still con. tinue to run and a stringency be avoided. Ryder Again Is Cities' League Head winmi'KU, .Manitoba, Aug. 10.

The Justice held that Deacon Denother was not slandered, because even if och charged that he worked on the SabbUh he was not injured, as the scripture Justify necessary labor on that day. Deacon Koch had charged Denother with plowing corn on the Sabbath an.1 the congregation formally rebuked Denother for violating the commandments. Denother said the accusation brought him Into such bad repute that his neigh bors would not speak to him. He dulled that he plowed on the Sabbath, but said he led his horse to water past the corn field, burled a dead horse and nailed boards around a stove to prevent his children from burning themselves. Thest things he considered necessary and there fore permitted by the scriptures. Rebels Still Give China Much Trouble PEKING, Aug. 10.
