PUBLISHED EVERY-THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY. S. C. AGAIN THE RAIN CAME DOWN. t s It wao an Elaborate Attempt, and, After a Bombardment of Many Hours, a Rainfall of Half an Inch Fell In Less than an Hour. E [New York Sun.1 t SA_ DIEGO, Texas, Oct. 18.-The --oernment rain makers are the heroes of the hour here. The experiment which was begun yesterday evening and continued during the night was entirely successful. At 4 o'clock this morning rain fell in torrents in the camp and soaked the men to the skin. Never before were men so glad to get a wetting. They yelled and hurrahed and danced fan dangoes in the mud. The people of San Diego and the sur sounding country are astonished at the result. When they went to bed at midnight the moon was shining in a cloudless sky and there was no sign of rain anywhere. Four hourslater they were awakened by the pattering and pouring of the rain on the roofs, and in a few minutes . it came down in torrents. The rain continued for nearly an hour. When it ceased the rain guage showed that half an inch had fallen at this place. Telegrams received this morning from stations along the line of the Mexican National Railroad say rain extended about forty miles to the north east, 108 miles to the west, and thirty miles to the sourhwest. It did not rain either to the east or to the south at a greater distance than ten or fifteen miles. The water this morning is standing in pools all over the ranches, M t and the cattlemen are delighted. They estimate that the rain is worth to them, - in round ffgures, at least a half million dollars. It is also worth much to the cotton growers. The entire cost of the experiment was about $:,500, and they regard it as one of the best invesiments they could possibly have made. The scientific value of the success cannot be estimated, of course, but it will undoubtedly lead to many more tests of the concussion theory. Already offers are hei::g made to the rain makers togo to Mexico and experiment there. The bombardme%' began in earnest early on Saturday ;vening, and until nearly midnight there was a continu 'ous roar from the dynamite and rocka rock batteries. The full moon was sailing across a cloudless sky, and the hundreds of people who had come to the camp were satisfied that the experi ment would be a flat failure. They said -that it was a beautiful imitation of a battle, but that rain would follow from such a say was absurd and impos sible.] Many offered to bet heavily that no rain would come, and some of the rain makers took up the bets as quickly as they were offered. The heavy smoke from the batteries drifted off to the northwest, and the balloon also sailed offrin that direction before they exploded. The instruments showed 63 per cent.,. of humidity just I before the firing began, and at 11 o'clock t in the morning it showed 95 per -cent. I The barometer was high and rising diiring the early part of the evening,- I but fell rapidly near midnight, when 1 the continuous firing ceased and five *minute guns took its place. Mr. Ellis, who was in charge, and Mr. George Castler, the areonaut, sent up the balloons at intervals of forty minutes apart. The rose to the height of about half a mile before exploding. The explosions -were heard at points fifty miles and - more away. Lieuts. Allen and Dyer wa's in command of the batteries and they were worked by the soldiers from the Twenty-third Infantry. *The men did splendid work and added to the high esteem which they have won here by their conducta thioughout. Just before the rain came down a balloon was. sent .up. The air at the time was very still. The balloon went straight up and then drifted to the northwest, then came directly south, then went off east, and at the time it exploded was travelling west at a rapid rate. MIr. Castler, who has been making ascensions for many years, said that he bad never seen a balloon act in that way, and that the disturb ance in the upper currents must have been tremendous. It was 3 o'clock when the storm first showed above the horizon to the north west. The clouds came up rapidly, and one could see them gather in size and density as they approached the zenith and drifted over the moon. A small cloud would appear suddenly in a clear part of the sky, and in five minutes it would spread out enormous A few minutes to 4 o'clock the sky above was full of heavy clouds, but not a drop of rain had fallen. Then a balloon was sent up and exploded right in the clouds, and the mortar battery began shooting butts in rapid succes sion. In two minutes after the balloon ex ploded the rain came down, and in three minutes miore it was falling in sheets, and little . vulets were runnmng through the camp. At sunrise a dry norther came, and in a short time the storm clouds had been blown to shreds. Mr~. Ellis is highly pleased at the results a of the experiments, and every one here agrees that the storm was wholly due to the firing. r The experiment really began on Fri.c day. The only apparent result of the bombardment on Friday was a very a heavy dew. The oldest inhabitant,re who in this case is aMexican, says tbat it was the heaviest dew ever known u here. As the expedition is not down here to make dew, this result was hard ly satisfactory, however interesting it may have been from a scientific pointr of view. Mr. Ellis, the head cloud-persuader, and Lieut. Dyer, the meteorological sharp of the Twenty-third Infantry, 8 smiled sweetly when they saw the sun z rise in a cloudless sky on Saturday, and - said they were not in the least disap pointed, as Friday's firing was merely a preliminary skirmish along the picket - ~. - ne, and that the real battle wmuld b< >ugiAt on Saturday. From eari-r aturday morning the rain men an( ae soldiers from Fort Bliss were busi. engaged filling balloons with oxyhy rogen gas, preparing rackarock ani ynamite charges, taking headach< aedicine, and trying to catch betweer imes a little sleep, havin.g been con tantly at work for nearly forty-eigh iours. Seventeen large balloons wer illed with the terrible explosive ga nd 1,601) charges of dynamite an aekarock were prepared. In additior o this there were 250 charges for tb welve-pound cannon, and 100 twenty ne-pound bombs for the mortar batte les. At 6:30 o'clock Lieut. Dyer place< iis soldiers in position. The larg :rowd was moved back to a safe &is ance. Balloonist Castler lignted )>-ce of punk, and Mr. Ellis said 'Let'er go." Two balloons rose in th ir to a height of 2,000 eet and explode( vith a noise like twin claps of thunder 7he moment the flash was seen, an< efore the sound had reached tb arth, twenty dynamite and rackarocl barges were fired simultaneously 'ive twenty-one-pound bombs sho oto the air ond the cannon boomed al t knew how. The ball was on, and most of th, 1exicans who had gathe ed to witnes beexperiment ran off. The bombard nent was kept up all night. A conti iual roar accompanied the sharp vibra ions of the earth.

Dodge Goer from the l'our House to Fortune. BrrrE, Mont., October 21.-Mis. Anna A. Dodge, an inmate of the poor house of this city, and aged :) years, has received notice that she is heiress to an estate worth 4:8,00),00. Her great grandfather on her mother's side, owned a vast estate near London. His oldest .:on removed to America, set tling in Virginia. Two children, Wil liam and Annie, were born of this marriage, the latter being the mother of Mrs. Dodge. Their mother died and bey moved to Kentucky,where Annie marriL I William Coleman. The pa rents died forty years ago, leaving Mrs. Dodge and a sister. They moved to Missouri, where Mrs. Dol"e's lusband died twenty years ago. Five years ago an article appeare,l in an English paper telling of the estate and the lost heirs, and the fact that the estate was in the hands of the public administrator. Mrs. Dodge hid the case before a relative named 1Z-ss, re cently of Minneapolis, and he wit io London to investigate the matter. He returned an encouraging letter, but since then nothing was heard from him, and it is not known whether he has put the matter in the hands of her nephew, William T. Colem~an, a very wealthy canning manufacturer of San Francisco or not. Meanwhile she came to Butte to visit her daughter, Mrs. Charles Ragsdale. She was taken sick, and accommodations not being good at the miner's cabin she was removed to the poor house. She has now re ceived letters confirming her right to the estate, and has forwarded letters and documents, the family Bible, etc., to prove her claim.

Remedies for some other derange ment are frequently taken without the least effect, because it is the liver which is the real source of the trouble, and until that is set right there can be no health, strength, or comfort in any part of the system. Mercury, in some form, is a common specific for a slug. gish livr; but a far safer and more effective medicine is Ayer's Pills. For loss of appetite, bilious troubles, consti pation, indigestion, and sick headache, these Pills are unsurpassed. "For a long time I was a sufferer from stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, expe riencing much difficulty in digestion, with severe pains in the lumbar region and other parts of the body. Having tried a variety of remedies, including warm baths, with only temporary relief, about three months ago I began the use of Ayer's Pills, and my health is so much improved that I gladly testify to the superior merits of this medicine."

"When I feel the need of a cathartic. I take Ayer's Pills, and find them to be more effec tive than any other pill I ever took."-Mrs. B. C. Grubb, Burwell:ille, Va. "I have found in A yer- Pills, an invalua ble remedy for constipation. biliousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic localities.

"Whenever I am troubled with constipa tion, or suffer from loss of appetite, Ayer's Pills set me right again."- A. J. Kiser, Jr., Rock House, Va. " In 1858, by the advice of a friend, I began the use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil iousness, constipation, high fevers, and colds.

SAFETY (or Strength) is all impor tant: for an insurance contract is either en tered into for a !ong period of years or for life In the case of an insurance company (as with an individual or with any other business organization), strength Is determined by the amount of assets OVER AND ABOVE ALL LIA BLITIES: or, in other words, by the Surplus. As the surplus of the Equitable Life Assur ance Society of the United States On De0. 31st, 189, amounted to Twenty-three and Three Quarter Millions (a sum many millions In excess of the s.rplus held by any other Iife company in the world), and as the Equitable's ratio of assets to liabilities is 125 per cent., i e., $125 to meet each $100 of indebteduinm (a percentage greatly In excess of that of any other leading company), the question of greatest safety m ust be decided in favor of the Equitable. ASSETS. .-..........$l 19,243,744 UABILITIES (4 percent) 95,593,297 SURPLUS.....-........ 23,740,447 2. CONTRACT (or Poliey).-This deter mines your rights and privileges. The Freo Tontine policy and application of the Equi table is free from any- and all restrictions after one year, is absolutely incontestable after two years,gives a choice of six methods )f settlement at theend of the stated period, xnd is payable immediately on receipt of proofs of death. Compare this with the policy of any other company, and the verdict will necessarily be In favor of the Equitable. 3. RESULT.-The settlemeuts that are being made on the twenty-year Tontine pol. &ies of the Equitable Society, maturing in 1891, show a cash return to the policy-holder. iaself, IN ADDITION to the protection far mished0by the life assuranee for twenty years, 5f all the premiums paid, with interest at From 2% to 7 per cent. per annum besides according to the kind of policy and age of the assured). No other company can show ;uch results, and hence it is that the Equita ble's business has outstripped that of every ther assuranceiorgAnization Further information will be promptly 'urnished on application to JAS.
