About 6 o'clock a heavy rain set in and con- tinued until midnight, nearly two and a half inches having fallen. ~ While small grain is a partial failure, corn and other crops were greatly benefited.

MADRID, Neb., June 15.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—Never since its settle- ment has Perkins county recelved such a coplous drenching as that which flooded the earth for three hours yesterday afternoon, and which was followed by a steady rain through last night. But for the fact that this county Is comparatively level the un- precedented volume of water which fell dur- ing the first three hours would have resulted in serious damage in the way of washouts. As it fs the thirsty earth absorbed it all, thus assuring a most bountiful yield of corn and all kinds of vegetables, besides a luxuri- ant growth of grass. Dr. W. J. Bartholomew, who has charge of the government gauge at Madrid, states that nearly seven inches of water fell during the afternoon and last night. Considerable hail was mixed with the rain, but not enough to result in serious damage. Owing to the long continued dry weather and hot winds there will be no small graln to speak of In the county, but as there is a tremendous acreago of ‘corn, potatoes, millet, roots, ete . the outlook Is very encotraging. The rai ing of stock and hogs is an important feature of the production of Perkins county and those engaged in that industry are wearing smiling countenances this morning. JOURNEY OF OMAHA JOF IERS.

Cail was about to chastise the boy, and he ran out of the gate, saying as he went: “Goodbye, mother. You will never see me again.” Nothing was thought of the child's threat at the time, but as the day wore away Mrs. Cail became alarmed, and enlisting all the neighbors, began a search for her boy. The search has been continued day and night since, and up to 9 o'clock this morning no trace can be found of the little fallow. The parents are almost prostrated with grief.

Missourl Valley Woman Seeking Her Falth- less Hosband In Omah “The idea,” she said, “of the old scamp going off with that woman. Why, she is five feet nine inches high, and that is three inches taller than he is. I don’t see how he could bear to do it. I know I am very much handsomer than she fs. I wish I had her here now. I would tell her something that would not sound nice.” This is what Mrs. Dr. Gordon of Missouri Valley said to the Omaha police yesterday. She was looking for her husband, who had ran away, and she brought with her from the Towa town a constable, who had in his pocket a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Gor- don for adultery. Mrs. Gordon says she is a physician, as well as her husband, she and he going about the country selling a paten: medicine and “curing all incurable diseases.’ About a week ago they were in Missouri Valley, and after a few days there the hus- band began to layish his affections on “Mary.” “Mrs, Gordon did not like this, but her husband did not care. A day or two before they were ready to leave the doctor took his departure. He did not tell his wife of it either. With him also went Mary. The doctor is a distinguished looking indl- vidual, rather good looking, with long hair, which he combs straight back over his fore- head. He tells a story of how he was cap- tured by the Indians, and says he is partly Indian in his makeup. He goes sometimes by the name of “Spread Eagle” and some- times he calls himself Dr. Frank. e Go to Courtland beach tonight. Another Melodious Succoss. At the festival of song at the Fifteenth Street theater last night another packed house was present. Fourteen hundred chil- dren took part. The pupils were from the schools south of Dodge street and from the High school. The same program was ren- dered as on Thursday night, and sue- cessfully. On account of the larger chorus the stage presented, if anything, a more beautiful ap- pearance Yhan on ‘Thursday night. The accord between plano and chorus was as good. The beautiful fairyland waltz was exquisitely sung and was encored twice, The change of key In the latter part of this song was eminently well done. Both these concerts have been surprises to the audiences in attendance and reflect great credit on the instructors of the chil- dren. It is especially to be understood that they represent the actual work done in school, and not an exhibition prepared for the occasion, MeDowell Wil Kun Independent.

NAXIMUM FREIGHT TARIFFS —3unt (Continued from Rirst Page.) rate. That Is to say, H'the rate from Fre- mont or Lincoln to Chico should be $100, that the Nebraska roadae for the haul of miles to the Missourl river would re celve $45 of the rate,'afd the roads from Missouri river to Chidago, for the haul 0 miles, would regoive but 55 per cent through rate. “Mr. John E. Utt, ¥he complainant's ex- pert, undertakes to @Xehss this exorbitant and extortionate demand of the Nebraska roads upon the theory that such a distribu- tion of the rate was necassary for the main- tenance of the Nebraska lines, but the rea- sons given by Mr. Utt for this condition of aftairs is untenable and unreasonable. In this distribution of rates is reason, therefor Mr. explaining how made and the tifles * “The Unfon Pacific for example on business from and Lin coln, get 45 per cent of the through rate between these points named and Chicag For example, If the rate on corn W cents from Fremont to Chicago, the Union Pacifjc would get 9.9 cents and the Rock Island_or Mi e & St. Paul would get the other rema per cent of the rate, which is 12.1 ce nd 12.1 cents and 9.9 the Union Pacific ex ds westward their percentage Increases that in the western part of the they get 60 per cent of the through rate, the lines bet Council Bluff cago get 40 per cent of the through rate.

We further find tha when the rates In Nebraska shall be re- duced to the rates established in the max- fmum freight law, the rates in Nebraska will compare favorably with the rates in Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Da- kotas, and will stiil be higher than they are in the state of Iowa. “There is no legitimate reason, based on local rates, to explain why the roads run- ning from the Missouri river to Chicago should pay tribute to the roads in Nebraska to the enormous extent as stated by Mr. | Utt. “Let us sce If there Is not another plausi- ble excuse for this condition of affairs. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road may be perfectly willing to make such distribution of rates with its western lines, for the rea- son that the bulk of all its business comes over the various lines which are owned and controlled by it in the state of Ne- braska and which constitute part of its sys- tem, so that the compan. a corporation, loses nothing by such a distribution of rates. “Again, all the business of the company accumulating throughout the state of Ne- braska becomes concentrated on its main line from the Missouri river to Chicago. The main line already realizes a large amount of net profit on its mileage from the Mis- souri river to Chicago; . For prudential rea- sons the company may desire to apparently reduce the net income of the line east of the Missouri river and add to the apparent income of its respective lines west of the Missourl river. “What {s said of the Burlington may also be applied to the Northwestern system. These two great companies, making such distribu- tion of their income to the various lines making up their respective systems, it may be readily understood why the Union Pacific company can likewise obtain the same con- ditions for itself from the several connect- Ing lines running from the Missourl river to Chicago in the endeavor of the last named companies to contrl the business which comes to them from the Union Pacific sys- tem. By this process three large companies are not credited with thefr acfual incomes from their freight rates, but are enabled to make it appear that the trunk lines are not earning unreasonable profits by thus dis- tributing their income upon the mileage of their branch lines.” Mr. Webster will this morning.

Bachelor have been asked by County Judge Baxter to explain some of thelr actions respecting probate matters which Judge Baxter regards as suspicious. It appears that Eller, while county judge, appointed J. W. Buck adminis- trator of the estate of Platte Saunders, vice E. V. Smith and Isaac Hascall, and allowed him to take out of the court $1,699.18, which was left there when Judge McCulloch was in office because several parties claimed the monéy. Buck was cited to appear, but Eller appeared for him yesterday, having with him an answer signed by Buck, which is in the nature of a general denial. He said that Buck would not answer the citation, as resume his argument all tho proceedings had been regular. Judge Baxter has not decided what course to pursue. Ira C. Bachelor has admitted that §$2,000 belonging to the Andrew Johnson estate was in his hands as administrator, and that he had not paid it over to Nellie Weybright, the sole heir.

J13 mst BY THE SEASHORE, e p—— Balm, for Face, Neck, Hagan’s a Harmless Liquid Arms and Hands. It banishes freckles, sunburn and tan, therefore a toilet necessity for the seashore and mountains. It is quickly applied, and gives to the skin a soft, creamy appearance, removing all redness, rough= ness, pimples and sallowness. Its effect is immediate, and deceives the closest observer as to its naturalness. It brings back the freshness of youth to the faded cheek and causes a woman to look years younger. If applied after dancing it will be found delight- fully cooling and refreshing.
