- AI- CAME DOWN.
It was an Eaborate Attempt, and, After
a Bombardment of Many Hourg, a
Rainfall of Half an Inch Fell in
Less than an Hour.
[New York Sun.1
DIEGO, Texas, Oct. 1S.-The
ent rain makers are the heroes
e hour here. The experiment
was begun yesterday evening
continued during the night was
ly successful.
-4 o'clock this morning rain fell in
ts in the camp .nd soaked the
to the skin. Never before were
so glad to get a wetting. They
and hurrahed and danced fan
in the mud.
Thi people of San Diego and the sur
-7uding country afe astonished at the'
It, When they went to bed at
night the moon was shining in a
dless sky and there was no sign
of rid a?ywhere.
Four hours later they were awakened
by the pattering and pouring of the
rain on the roofk:, .md in a few minutes
it came down -a 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 Railroad2sa ~
exctended about fm m e- north
east, I e west, and thirty
(e southwest. 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,
and the cattlemen are delighted. They
estimate that t he 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 $2,.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 i g made to the rain
makers togo to Mexico and experiment
there.
The bombardment began in earnest
early on Saturday evening, 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 ex peri
ment would be a flat failure. They said
that it was a beautiful imitation of a
bat-tle, but that rain would follow
frotr such a sgy 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 off in thit direction
before they exploded. The instruments
showed 63 per cent. of humidity just:
before the firing began, and at 110o'clocli
in the morning it showed 9.5 per cent.
The barometer was high and rising
. during the early part of the evening,
but fell rapidly near midnight, when
the continuous firing ceased and five
minute guns took its place.
rr. Ellis, who was in charge, and
was rge Castler, the areonaut, sent
miinultes apart. 'h faothl

mil beoeepoig The explosions
wer had at points fifty miles and
wre aay Liuts. Allen and Dyer
waore wommanld of the batteries and
tey 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 conduct
thiroughout. 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. Mr. Castler, who has been
making ascensions for many years,
said that he had 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'clcck when the storm first
showed above the horizon to the north
wvest. 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
ly.
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 ex ploded right
~in the clouds, and the mortar battery
began shooting butts in rapid succes
Sion.I
In twvo minutes after the balloon ex
ploded the rain came down, and in
three minutes miore it was falling in
sheets, and little rivulets 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 resultse
of the experiments, and every one here
agrees that the storm was wholly due
to the firing.
The experiment really began on Fri-e
day. The only apparent result of the
bombardment on Friday wa a very
heavy dew. The oldest inhabitant, r
who in this case is a Mexican, says t bat
it was the heaviest dew ever known
here. As the expedition is not down
here to make dew, this result was hard
ly satisfactory, however interesting it i
may have been from a scientific point
of view.
Mr. Ellis, the head cloud-persuader,
and Lieut. Dyer, the meteorological
sharp of the Twenty-third Infantry,
smiled sweetly when they saw the sun
rise in a cloudless sky on Saturday, and --
said they were not in the least disap

dytfL+n gas, preparing rackarock and
dynamite charges, taking headache
medicine, and trying to catch between
times a little sleep, having been con
stantly at work for nearly forty-eight
hours. Seventeen large balloons were
filled with the terrible explosive gas
and 1,600 charg, of dynamite and
rackarock were prepared. In addition
to this there were 2;0 charges for the
twelve-pound cannon, and 100 twenty
one-pound bombs for the imortar batte
ries.
At 6:30 o'clock Lieut. Dyer placed
his soldiers in position. The large
crowd was moved back to a safe dis
tance. Balloonist Castler lighted a
piece of punk, and Mr. Ellis said.
"Let'er go." Two balloons rose in the
air to a height of 2,000 feet and exploded
with a noise like twin claps of thunder.
The moment the flash was seen, and
before the sound had reached the
eirth, twenty dynamite and rackarock
charges were fired simultaneously.
Five twenty-one-pound bombs shot
into the air ond the cannon boomed all
it knew how.
The ball was on, and most of the
Mexicans who bad gathe ed to witness
the experiment ran off. The bombart
ment was kept up all night. A conti
nual roar accompanied the sharp vibra
tions of the earth.
Boy Preacher Married.
[Columbia Register, 22nd.]
SQtrte a large crowd of the friends of
the contracting parties gathered at the
Second Baptist Church last night at
7.30 o'.-.ack to witness the wedding of
Rev. James W. Kramer, the "boy
preacher," and Miss Bertha Weather
ford. The happy couple were unat
tended. Rev. Mr. Tolson pronounced
the words that made thera "man and
wife.' After the ceremony the couple,
followed by the heartiest good wishes of
all present, rode to the residence of the
bride's father on East Lady street,
where they will reside for a short
while.
The groom is rather youthful. For
three years he was an exhorter in the
Salvation Army, but a year ago joined
the Second Baptist Church and was
licensed to preach. In a few days he
will leave for Louisville, Ky., where he
will attend the Southern Baptist Theo- r
logical Seminary to fit himself for the
functions of his calling.

Nlrs. Anna A. Dodge t;aes froim the Poar
House to Fortujne.
BurrF, Mont., October 21.-Mis.
Anna A. Dodge, an inmate of the poor
bouse of this city, and aged s0 years,
bas received notc:e that she is heiress
to an estate worth 8,1 00,010. Her great
grandfather on her mother's side,
)wned a vast estate near London. His
Adest son removed to America, set
tling in Virginia. Two children, N il
liam and Annie, were born of this
marriage, the latter being the mother
)f Mrs. Dodge. Their mother died and
they moved to Kentucky,where Annie
married William Coleman. The pa
rents died forty years ago, leaving Mrs.
Dodge and a sister. They moved to
Missouri, where Mrs. Dodge's husbandi
died twenty years ago.
Five years ago an article appeared in
an English paper telling of the estate
ind the lost heirs, and the fact that the
estate was in the hands of the public
idniiistrator. Mrs. Dodge laid the
ease before a relative nanied Ross, re
ently of Minneapolis, and he w!it to
London to investigate the matter. He
returned an encouraging letter, but
5ince then nothing was heard froni.
aim, and it is not known whether he
Ias put the matter in the hands of her
2ephew, William T. Coleman, a very
Nealthy canning manufacturer of San
Francisco or not. Meanwhile she came
.o Butte to visit her daughter, Mrs.
.harles Ragsdale. She was taken sick,
nd accommodations not being good
tt the miner's cabin she was removed
o the poor house. She has now re
,eived letters confirming her right to
be estate, and has forwarded letters

The Liver
'When out of order, involves every organ of
the body. 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 liver; but a far safer and mere 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."
Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal.
"For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathar
tic Pills are the most effective medicine I
ever used."-R. K. James, Dorchester. %lass.
"When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take
Ayer's Pills, and find them to be more cffec
tive than any other pill I ever took."-.Mrs.
B. C. Grubb, Burweliville. Va.
" I have found in Ayer's Pills, an invalua
ble remedy for constipation. biliousness, and
kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic
localities. Taken in small and frequent
doses, these Pills

on the liver, restoring its natural powers, and
aiding it in throwing off malarial poisons."

" In 1858, by the advice of a friend, I began

THREE
REASONS
WHY.
Has it ever cccurred to you that :
selecting a company in which to as
your life, there are three points which.
if correctly ascertained, will determine
beyond ali question the best com
for you to choose ?
Here they are:
FiRsT-SAFETY.
SECOND-CONTRACT.
THIRD-RESULTS.
I. SAFETY (or Strength) Is all impor- '.
tant: for an insurazce contract is either en
tered intofor a long period of years orforlife
In the case of an insurance company(as
with an individual or with any other busins
organization), strength is determined.by'the
amount of assets OVER AND ABOVE ALL L.
BILITM: or, in othe- words, by the Surplug
As the surplus of the Equitable Life Assur
ance Society of the United States on Dec.
3ist, 189, amounted to Twenty-three anbthree
Quarter Millions (a sum many millions in
excess of the surplus held bv any other life
company in the world), and as the.kMtble
ratio of assets to li.bilities is 125 per eent.,
I. e., $125 to meet each $100 of indebtedness (a
percentage greatly I:2 excess of that of any
other leading company), th. question of
greatest safety m us' be decided In favor o
the Equitable.
ASSETS..---.-. - $119,243,744
LIABILITIES (4 per cent) 95,593,297
SURPLUS..-----------.......$23,740,447
2. CONTRACT (or Poicy).-This deter
mines your rights and privileges. The Fre
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 mithods
of settlement at the end of the st ted period,
and is payable immediately on receipt of
proofs of death. Compare this with thw*
policy of any other company, and! th
-verdict will necessarily be i" iavor of the.
Equitable.
3. RESULTS.-The settlements that are
being made on the twenty-year Tontine pol.
icies of the Equitable Society, maturing in
1891, show a cash return to the policy-holder
himself, IN ADDITION to the protection ftr
nithed by the life assurance for twenty years,
of 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
such results, and hence it is that the Equita
ble's business has outstripped that of every
other assuranceorganization

furnished on application to
