OVER AN INCH IN OMAHA S i \ Railroad Men 8ay That it Will Be Worth Over Fifty Million to Corn Crop. 3 ) Sweetest music fell upon the ears of such Omahans as were awake at or after 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn- | ing. | It was the music of the little rain | drops drumming upon the roofs, | splashing against the windows, swish- | ing among the treetops, pattering in | the puddles. | The month’s drouth was broken. | July had gone into history as the dryest Omaha ever recorded. And when August was only two hours old the rain began. The rainfall here was .88 of an inch up to 7 a. m. And enough fell after that to make the total fall well over an inch. Other parts of the state was drenched eyen more. Stroms- berg reported 2.15 inches and Lin- coln reported 1.88 inches, with rain still falling. Only two out of twenty weather stations in the state reported no_rain. Early reports to railroads Tuesday morning indicated good general rains through the eastern half of the state. The Burlington reports on the Oma- ha and Lincoln divisions showed ll\it the rain extended as far west as Hal- tings and Grand Island. The differ- gnt stations reported widely differing amounts, but with the exception of O’Neill all reported some rain. It was the first rain since the Fourth of July, after almost a solid month of unbroken drouth = with blistering heat. It is believed that this morning’s rain will be worth many millions of dollars to the farm- ers of the Missouri valley. | Worth Fifty Million. “A fine rain, covering ali the rain| belt of Nebraska,” was the way i which E. W. H. Jones, di freight agent of the Northwestern lines, commented on the crop saving | downpour. | “I figure that it means a 100,000,- | 000 bushels of corn at 50 cents a bushel.” said L. W. Wakeley of the Burlington. 1t came just in time to save the crop, and while we will '\ not have a 100 per cent crop, we will have a splendid big crop. I think Nebraska is about the most favered spot on God's green earth this year.” Good soaking rains were reported all along the Missouri Pacific line from Omaha to the Kansas line. E. P. Hennessey, commercial agent for the Rock Island, said that he had just heard from the agents along the line to Fairbury, and that not a sta- tion had missed a good rain, and that most of them were either enjoying a rain or had one in prospect. The heaviest rain reported was at | Beaver Crossing, on the Northwest- | &rn, where the agent reported four inches. From Gresham to York, on the Northwestern, the average rainfall was in the neighborhood of two and ¥ one-quarter inches. | Torrential Rains Hamper Operation of Army Motor Trains Columbus,| N. M days of torrential rains in the Casas Grandes valley have hampered oper- ation of the army truck line to the American field base at Colonia Dub- lan greatly, according to reports heré today by truck men. However, the drivers asserted the command has ample supplies. Other reports indicated that small ‘Carranza forces, which operated south and west of the American lines in the El Valle district, have withdrawn, . apparently to enter the bandit cam- paign along the Chihuahua-Durango border. With the arrival of 500,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, daily tar- get practice has become a routine of the American troops in Mexico, | \ i R % 5 i ) § The Weather For Omaha, Council Bluffs and Vieinfty—— Falr tonight and Wednesday; slightly warm- er Wednesday. e s Temperatures WMIR—\ at Omaha— Hours.

Russians now are well advanced in| the campaign against the two impor- | | tant centers of Kovel and Lemberg. | The Russian offensive conducted | in both these directiors has been so vigorous and unrelenting that the Austro-Germans apparently have been in a predicament, not knowing from which point to spare troops to reinforce the defense of some other part of tie front. The result has been that the Germans are exclu- | sively occupied with the defense of | Kovel, while Von Boehm-Edmolli’s army, without assistance,” has been mainly striving to protect the roads to Lemberg.

Hughes, the republican presidential nominee, this “afternoon addressed the Women's Roosevelt league, say- ing: “It is an especial pleasure to meet you this afternoon and to recognize the very deep interest that you feel in this campaign. 1 am particularly glad to have the support of this or- ganization.

They, if there can be any comparison in such a matter, feel more keenly, perhaps, than any- one else with respect to the national honor and the importance of its main- tenance to our proper preparation and to our security; and, further, to that organization in our life in all its activities which will give us an Amer- ica going forward to meet the re- sponsibilities which are to be upon us after this war is over, “I note that you represent a very strong feeling with regard to our re- ) lations to American rights in connec- tion with that war—to our relations | to the maintenance of American | rights in connection with Mexico.

MacKenzie, president of the National Dock and Storage company, the scene of the explosion, was taken into custody at his home in Plainfield, N. J., and re- leased in $5,000 bail for examination. “There is no question that I am responsible for the warehouse owned by the company,” said Mr. MacKen- zie. “But I can state positively that there was no infringement of the law in any respect.” _The city commissioners of Jersey City by a vote of 4 to 1 adopted a resolution today calling upon Director of Public Safety Hague to prevent the shipment or storage of high explosives in that city.
