The weather bureau shows that the rainfall during the two hours the storm prevailed was 3.21. From 1.1 "20 to 11:30 o'clock a period it-n hin-utes, the rainfall amounted to exactly inch. This is something phenomenal. The figures given above are without precedent in the history of the local weather bureau. Mr.

Von Herrmann says there were two distinct storms. The rainfall during the first amounted to only .85, while that in the second measured 2.35. The last storm was by far the more severe, and it was accompanied by a terrific electrical display. Flashes of lightning lightened the heavens without intermission for All the boast dramatic contest in the i'opunst convention two years ago will in all probability beT repeated. -I f.

Skinner will fight to. the bitter end any proposition favoring fusion with the Democratic party. Butler must, of necessity, present to the convention a plan for an alliance with the Democrats of the State. He must do this to justify the stand he has taken as jNation-al chairman of the Populist party. Congressman Skinner said last night: "There will be no proposition submitted to the Democrats for fusion." 'What will be the action of the convention?" the Congressman was asked.

"Wait and see," was his reply. Congressman Skinner talked! about harmony and a big and at the same time several "hatchets' were dangling from his coat sleeves.) Chairman Fountain said after midnight: "There will be a proposition submitted to the Democrats for fusion, and it will be submitted in good faith. I find the prevailing sentiment favors it.
