The occupation of the rain fakers in Ne- braska appears to be gone for the present. Providence sooms to have knocked tho rain- makers out. From all parts of thostate come the reports of welcomo coplous showers and abundant rainfall, It began toraiu in Omaha about § o'clock Wednesday night.

St. Pavt, Mino., July 25, —There i1s & panic among Datota farmors lost they bo unable to harvest their groat wheat crop, which is now veing out in the soutuern part of South Da- kota, North Dakota begins its wheat harvest in about a weok of ten days, and all farmers are espocially anxious. It has boon esti- matea that from 200 to 400 laborers are needed iu each county in South Dakota east of the Missouri river. This means about 10,000 laborers, Southern Minuesota needs belp in tho harvest fleld also, and North Da- kota will begin anrvesting in about two or three woeks. Altogether, conservative esti- mates are that 40,000 laborers are needed within the uext month in order to harvest the immense grain crops of the northwest. Tho acreage is a little less than last year. but the yield promises to be equally great, 1fonly the crop'can bo secured, In order to induce laborors to come to tho rolief of the wheat farmors of the northwest, ol tho railroads In this section havo an- uounced a special rate of & from this city to the Dalkotas for farm laborers.

When showmen who have yet to make their reputation and prove their right to the fame they print on their bills, but have not yet earned, speak lightly of reputations born of years of conscientious and honorable deal- g with the public, they must necessarily forfeit the respect of thinkiog people. Bar- num & Bailey have been to Omaha many times and not one person will say thoy have ever failed to give the public many times the worth of its money. This is a record safo to rely on and they do. The presidents of many national banks and wealthy corporations have held their positions for many years and dischargod their trusts with unswerving fi- delity, but tiis fact does not characterize them as “*moldy” nor their business insti- tutions as ‘“ancient” and _ behind the times. Oniy the freshness of inexpe- rience and the desporation of a consciousness of inferiority would sugzest such a thing. It is the time-honored institutions 1 which tho public has confidonce, and this conti- dence is the substratum of all substantial prosperity. Those who mock at it have itnot. Let the reader ask himself what munner of men characterize a splendid cow- mercial reputation as ‘‘moldy. Were they cver heard of before! Mr. Barnum was proud of his half century of triumpbs, and the nation was proud.of mum. Mr. Bailey, 1n turn, has led the show business, like a Na- poleon, to where he has ‘‘no moro worlds to conquer,” and he stands as pre-ominent in the circus world as Rothschild in the finan- cial. He has been insthe show business for many years, and has, placed the peerless exhibition he controls in the crucible of pub- lic criticism of the old and new worlds, and uncounted miilions ;of patrons of every tongue have pronounced it matchless, It comes to Omaha September 14, ‘‘time-tried and true,” standing ob its grand reputation of the past aud promising to beat its own rec- ord on September 14, jvhich is all it can say or do, for it has reached a point where it bas its own glorious past to excel. As Colum- bus founded a new, world so has Mr. Bailey discovered all the new features for tented oxhibitions, and as he presents them this season they form an_amusement program at onco the largest, grandest and best that the sun of the nineteenth century has smilew up- provingly on. 11, as is often said, the *‘best is tho cheap- est,” the whole city wili “wait for Baroum’’ without further suggestion. An Appeal for Ald, Masox City, Neb., July 14.—To the Char- itable Peoplo of Nebraska: Itis generally known by the telegraphic dispatches to the daily papers of Omaha and Lincoln, that this village was visited by a very destructive cyclone on Friday evening, July 1, 1 which lnlnll( destroyed many of the resident wnd business houses snd ail the public buildings of our town. Our school district is already bonded to the limit of the law, and the flnancial condi- tion of the people will not allow the rebuild- ing or repairing of one loss in ten. The losses are not confined to our town, but many of the farmers in our vicinity aro without shelter, and it is the feeliux of our citizens that they share equally with the town 1n any nid that may be given us. “The loss is estimated at from 30,000 to £50,000, and we are greatly in need of help. It is with prife thal we' refer to the fact that our people have always responded lio- erally to any of our neighbtors who have mot with'such disasters, and we would ask each and every person who may be aware of our loss o contribute as lverally as his or her flusucial condition may aliow.

Mr. Whito said the statement was absurd on its face, and adaed: *‘The Santa I'e com pany placed the whole matter before the commissioners and before the advisory board of the Western Trafiic association away back in April, and asked for an inves- tigation that might result in placing it upon an equality with its competitors, The wholo question was slighted and thrown outof court on a trifiing technicality and the merit of the complaint not inquired into. The ad- visory board is composed of officors of the Santa Fe and competing lines, who must or should have known what their owu com- panies wero doing and that if the Santa ko had not just cause It would have been a very simplo matter for these gentlemen to prove i, *“The trouble was that nearly every ono of theso lines had, at that time, illegitimate contracts which' they could nov expose and they thought to getrid of the question by slighting it. There is ot a passenger official in the Western Passenger association and very few in either the Central Trafic or Trunk Line associations who docs aot Know that this action of the Santa Fo was forced upou it by the intemperate and unfair com- petition of other roads. Any statement to tho contrary comes from interested parties who thouglit they could continue idefinitely to take advantage of the extremely conserva- tive policy of the Santa Ko management without incurring loss or dotection, The Santa e has ignored many such actions in the past two yeurs, but it could not afford to lose it wholé Colorado trafic.” Making the Matter Worse, The $12 round trip rato between Chicago and Denver Knights Templar conclave was tho subject of a further conference of the western geueral passenger agents. The pur- pose of the taeeting was to formulate an ap- pifcation to Chairman Caldwell for authority to make such rates s would afford them ample protection against the Atchison’s re- auced rates, Tho Chicago & Alton repre- sentative was present and gave noiice that his company, in order to protect its interests, would not only meet tho §12 rate to Denver ana return, but would make around trip rate of $8 from Chicago and St. Louis to Kansas City and return and a_one way rate of $6 westbound between the same points. Upon hearing this the association lines so framod their application that the chairman was asked to authorize an additio. to the $12 round trip Denver rate, a one way rate of $12 from Chicago to Denver and intermediate points, and u round trip rate of $8 and a one way rate of § Chicago and Missouri river pointe. Will Meet the Cat. Chairman Caidwell authorized the Atohi- son’s rivals to _make the §12 rate to Denver and roturn under the following regulations : The rate 1s to apoly through the Chicago, Pooria and St. Louis gateway and in all the territory south of the Tllinois Central lines in Dubuque, south of the Chicago Great Western lines from Dubuque to Waterloo and South of the Illinois Central lines, from Waterloo to Sioux City. The dates for the sale of tickous are to bo August 3 to 7, tickets 10 be good for continuous passage only from date of sale. The final linit of the tickets to be October 1 and they may be cortified to for tho_return trip at Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo. Authority was also given by the chairman to sell one-way tickots at tho $12 rato to Denver and all inlermediate points on tho dates namod. These rates and arrangements are 10 be tendered connecting roads for basiug purposes. Concerning Missour! river rates the chair- man reserved his decision until tomorrow. Of course he cannot refuse to authorize the $3 rate wo Kansas City and return as well as the ono way rate ot §, because theso rates have been adopted by the Chicawo & Alton, but he has asked to allow o rate of $I0 to Omaha, Council Bluffs and Sioux City and re- turn, with a one-way rate at the same figure, ‘T'his, he thinks, is an eatirely differ.nt mat- ter and he cannot grant the request without further consideration.

So faras known, the Vandalia is the only road that has taken this step. It is truo that the Chicago & Alton and the ‘Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City both 1s- ued tariffs on tno same basis, but they can- celed them on rocelving nssurancos from the Chicago committoo of the Central Trafo association that the reduction is not con- curred in by auy of tho eastern roads. The Vanaalia cannot derive any advantage from its courso if all its tarn connections rve- fuse to particivate in the reduced rates, and that seems™o be the state of affairs at pres- ent. A suspicion exists, however, that the Vandalia has an ally in this movement and thatitis no less & road than the Krie, though the oficials of that line did not admit it Ouat of the Comb . According to reports received here there is a painful lack of harmony in the Transcon- tinental association, The Rio Granan West- ern has givon notice of withdrawal, and it 1s intimated that othor ronds may follow its example, Cbairman Vining has raised a technieal point in regard to the Rio Grando Woestorn's notice, claiming that he cannot entortain it becauso it doos not specify whothar the company desires to witharaw from the passenger or freight department. The supposition is that the Rio Grande Wostorn wishes to sover 1t counoction with iho association which includes both depart- ments and that Chairman Vining is siwply soeking to aclay sction. Itis believed that other Colorado lines will take this step in order to preservo the indepondence of their Jolorado-Utah association over which the commissioners of the Westorn Trafo asso- ciation claim no authority. “I'io Buriington stutement for June, which is to be issued in a few days, will probably como up to the most sanguine_ expectatior of that company's officials. It 1s promised that tho gross onrnings will show an incronse of over $100,000, as compared with the corre- sponding veriod last year, aud that the gain in net earnings will bo $642,000.
