THINK MELBOURNE A FAKIR His Efforts at Grand Island Produced Nothing but Distrust. EXPLANATIONS OF THE RAIN MAKER Atmospheric Conditions Could Not Be Over- come—He Was Anxious to Have More Time, but the People Would .AND, Nob,, Aug. 17.—[Special to Tue Ben, |~ Frank Melbourne, the ulieged rain maker, has faled and uas very fow friends in this city. He throws up the spongoe aud fails to explain why he couldn’t make the heavens weep. Melbourne was engaged on Friday aftornoon last to cause the fall of one inch of rain up to Wednesaay noon. Up to 10 o'ciock this morning the skies were perfectly cloudless and the rain fake has bursted with a very resonant boom. When there were no_indications of rain whatever yestorday afternoon Melbourne's agent, a man by the common name of Jones, sougbt the committeo. He made the request that the timo on the eontract bo extenaed twelve hours longer, or until midnight tonignt, This the committee falled to do, to the evident discomfort and displensure ot Melbourne and his man Jones. But Melbourne firmly kept his watech in the turrot on tho Palmer house until tmis morn- ing. When the skies wero again as olear as the Lord ever made them, not the sign of the smallest clond being visiblo, the rain wizzura gavo up in disgust, a feeling very largely shared by the citizens. Why Melbourne Falled Mr. Jones was accosted by Tur Ber re- rior this morning as to the reasons that lelbourno failed, assuming that there were reasons why he should fail any more than other individuals who might make the here uro certain conditions 1n the atmos- phere here,” said Mr. Jones, “which we have mever founu elsewhers." What are those conditions?? 1r. Melbourne doesn’t say,” wns tho very unsatisfactory answer. ‘‘He believes the gen- eral vaius in the eastern part of the state followed on the next day by anotner rain in the western pmrt, had w good deal to do with s failure.” 1'rom the tonor of the whole conversation “Tie Bre corvespondent is lea to_conclude that nejther Mr. Melbourne nor Mr. Jones knew why the rain did not come, and this opinion is shared by the general public. The feeling is that Melbourne is an out and out fakir, g *1 would ve one to tar ana feather that said @ prominent business man this \ing, and the remark is an indication of the love folt for the *rain maker.” Melbourne left this afternoon for his home in Choyenne. The 2,000 is still in Hall county and 1t will very probabiy Lo a long time before another ‘‘rain maker” will be engaced.

Prof. Biggsby of Detroit o Fitz- patrick Detivor Lect Prof. Bigesby of Detroit lectured yoster- day afternoon before the teachers of Douglas county. His subject was “Rugby and Ar- nold.” He said he would take a hurried trip to Eugland and 1nvito the teachers of the in- stitute to accompany him. The objective point of the journey was Wincnester, “‘where the soil is rich 1n history.” A city of relics all overgrown with ivy. ““Here we find catbedrals,” said Prof. Biegsby, “that are, 1n the words of Ruskin, ‘cpic peems,’ in the languago of Longfellow, “dreams in stone,’ and when General Grant saw the granuest structure of Winchester he said, “Puat Is frozen music.’ Prof. Biggsby desorived the interesting old city in detail, dwelling particularly upon old Rugby college. His description of the little lords during their first fow days experience in Rugby was particularly happy and capti- vating. He spoke of tho Knglish page boy, “who seemed to have burst 1ulo an eruption of buttons from head to foot,” and mude some ludicrously sarcastic remarks about the custom of keeping page boys. His picture of the old Kugby garden and the schoolmaster’s house was graphic and elegant. One could almost catch the odor of the roses aud seo the ivy that fairly smothered the house, 700 years old. He pictured the iuterior of the inaster’s house and sketehed Dr. Somerville, the master. Referring to the practice of rich Ameri- cans sending their sons to Rugoy and other English schools, Prof. Bigesby said: “These rich Americans send their sons to those old schools, not because they can secure better cducational advantages ‘there, but because they can say that their livtle nopefuls are at schuol with my lords Tobnoddy and High- riger and others of their class.” Prof, Biggsby was nine years at Rugby and he appeirs to know whereot he speaks. Such & thing as appearing at recitation with- out having the lesson is sure to bring asharp rebuke and the student is eiven what is known as an *‘imposition,” that is, he has to write over many timos the lines and words he failea to recite perfectly. The teachers were completely convulsed by the recital of @ scene at Ruggby in which Prof. Biggsby and the late General Goraon of the English army played leading parts. They had beon shut up in an old iibrary room asa punishment. Other b had been coming to the keybole and calling all sorts of tsunting things ut the prisouers, Finally young Gordon got hold of a syrings and waited patiently to fill the next eye or ear with ink that came up tothe keyhole, Presently thero came & step 8cross the hall and thea au ear wat pressed te the keyhole. In an Instant young Gordon thrust the syringe into the keyhole and let arive with all bis might, Tuere was a great shriek on the outside and the little prisoners faicly bowled with delight. But their joy was short lived, Presently a key was thrust 1nto the door and an instant later in stepped the head master, his hoad and the collar of his shirt completely covered with ink. The young prisoners were soundly threshed for their work with the syringe, in closing Prof. Biggsby coatrasted the life aud work of Thomas Arnola, while headmaster at Kueby, with the character and work of those who preceded biwm. Arnold broke up the old cust iron rules end the inhumau treat- ment ot the boys and endearod himself Lo the hearts of the wholo school, excepting the other masters, who were jealous of his popularity, Prof. Biggsby culogized Mr. Arnold in eloguent terms, Superintendent Fitzpatrick addressed the eachers during the forepoon. His address was upon the hundred and one small things that became o part of thosuccessful teachers® experience. The toachers were very highly leased with the thoughts suggested by Mr. ‘izpatrick, THE OMAHA USED HIM AS A STRAW MAN Real Estate Speculators Found Mr. Pierce a Handy Man to Know. HE MADE GOOD MONEY WITHOUT EFFORT As the Mortgages Became Due Mr, Plerce Found it for His Failing Health<Other Conrt Events, Necessary to Go South Suit was brought in the distriot court yestor day, by which J. I, Thompson and R. W. Ross, executors of the estateof Reuben Ross, deceased, sued to foracioso mortgages exe- cuted by W. E. B. Pierce ou property in Mayne place and aggregaung §27,900. The mortgages bear date October 22, 1800, Thoy are in favor of the Byron Reed com- pany assigned without recourse and the notes are endorsed by E. Rerson, who is mnade & party to the suit in case there should be a defiotency judgment after the sale under foreclosure is made, In this particular instance there are eight mortgages, all due and payable on the same date. There is oothing to show that in this case the transaction was not straight, though it brings to lizht the fact that W. E. B. Pierce, while he resided in Omaba, 5t00d us a straw man for parties who had worthless property which they were anxious to work off upon unsuspecting specu- lators, Pierce came from Pierre, S. D, some five years ugo, muking the trip on ‘a flatooat. IFor some months after his arrival, with his family, he lived in a garret near Twentieth and Grace streets, where frequently he dia not even have bread to eat. Later on in his careor he moved into better quartors and put in some of his time at the carpenter’s trade. But last fall he again took to tho river and started for New Orleans on a flatboat. Rogarding Pierce's standing as a straw man for' real estate dealers, the faots and the plans by which he operated weore these. For instance John Smith owned a lot in some outlying addition. It was poor property and in the market would not sell for more than £500. Smith would see Piorce and the next thing that havpened thers would bea deed recorded showing that Pierce had vought the lot for $3,000 pamd _ balt cash and had given a mortgage for $1,500, due 1n five vears. Pierce would get all the way from #10 to $25, while Smith would sell his notes and mortgage at a slight discount, receiving in many cases from Lwo to threo times as much as the lots which wero covorad by tho mortgawo were worth. Not having any property of his own Pierce had no hesituncy in executing the mortgages and the notes for such amounts as his orin- cipals saw fit o ask. Not only din be act in this capacity for one, _ but there are today in Omaha & dozen or moro real estalo agents who used W, B. Pierce for a straw man. Iu this capacity he continued to labor until about the time some of the notes wero due, ahd then he quietly slid down tha river. Anu now Thomas Murray has brought suit agamst the Crano Bros. Mauufacturing company and in his petition he avers that he is entitled to recover $1,367.53, with in- terest since 1888, During that leges that he was constructing a hotel in the city of Omaba, and that ne purchased plumbing and other material from tho de- fondants amounting to #4,498.08. This sum no paid and now he has learned that the $1,307.53 was an overcharge which he should not have paid. Thomas Brennan has sued Thomas Muiray. He alleges that the sum of $66¢ remains dus upon & promissory note executed four yOars ago. Timothy J, Phelps asks to be divorcod from his wife, Margarot. Ho alleges that Margaret, without just cause or provocation, has loft his bed and board. Clara Williams proposcs to convince the court that sto has boen cheated and ae- frauded by Ived King and Josoph 1. Mail- ender. 1o prove this she has filed her petition which states that on Fobruary 1, 1892, sho was the o or of a lot in South Omaha. About that ti: , sheavers that the defendants conspired to dofraud her. They reprpsented that King was the owner in foo simple of (40 acres of land in Ppesidio county, Texas. which he would trdde for the South Omaha lot. Belioving theso rep- resentations she made the trade, to learn later that he never owned any land in Texas. Now she teels thatshe should recover $1,2580, which she alloges is the value of the prop- erty she tradea away. St 2R 4 S A COUNTY CHARGE.
