COPIOUS RAIN SHOWERS BRIN a GLADNESS TO MANY Will Prove of Immense Benefit to Winter WheatFarmers Are Rejoicing- It has been many months, in fact some say a year, since the soil intnis vicinity has been as well soaked bv rain, as at the present time. It is scarcely possible to estimate the value of this moist ure to the farmers the county over. The majority of the far mers have sown almost all of their winter wheat, not a little of which has been above the ground for some time but has been held back from the lack of moisture. The rains of the past week will give the tender plants new life and will contribute to their growth. While the rain waa not gen eral throughout the county, in the vicinity of Condon, the rain fall was heavy for thia season of the year. Real Estate Transfers. . The following real estate trans fers have been filed for record with the county clerk. A J Coe to B N Snover two lots in Arlington $ 635 T G Gibbons to Geo.

One of the strang-eur of all the pag eant wblrb are to tie seen in Jerusa lem la the auniial march of the Mo hammedans to tbe tomb of Muaea. To them, as well as to Christians aud Jews, Moses is a prophet of tbe high est bonor. But, rejecting the traditions of the Hebrews, they refuse to believe tbat be was bnrled iu a valley in tbe land of Moab, as la described in tbe last cbaptr of Deuteronomy. Instead tbey assert that be was buried where be breathed his last, upon the summit of Mount NebO. Therefore eacb year at the time of the Greek Easter tbe faithful gather by thousands In the early morning be fore the site of tbe temple of Solomon In perfect silence waiting for day break. Later tbe strange scene of quiet Is entirely transformed, fanatics danc ing and preaching, hordes of dervishes whirling about in mysterious "sacred" dances and bund reds of exborters rous ing the enthusiasm of their fellows. Tbe scene Is gaudy wltb hundreds of red and green banners, and the only semblance of order Is in the seinlregu lar organisations of marchers. At lust tbe procession forms, with the banners borne ahead, an liuuu bearing tbe yataghan of tbe prophet a short, straight edged sword used by tbe armies of Mohammed and after them more dancers and marchers. A large part of the population of Je rusalem gathers about the gate, out of which the procession moves toward tbe Mount of Olives, but few besides the faithful endeavor to obtain a place In the ranks of marchers, since death has often been tbe penalty of an at tempt by a non-Mohammedan to make this march to "Nebl-Mouca," the "tomb of Moses." Traders of many kinds Invade the camp, for the marchers remain at the mosque live days, and all their sup plies must be bought from the wan dering merchants, who make a busi ness of looking after their needs. Aft er the first excitement fanaticism yields to good humor, and games and banter till the time for those who have paid their duties at tbe tomb. The mosque on Nebo Is one of the most sacred of Mohammedan shriues and one of the most difficult for a Christian to approach. An English traveler who brought nu (Order from the norte was denied .ad mittance, and. although lu recent years It has become possible to enter. It Is too early yet to forget the esierlcuco of one traveler who came bearing a order of admittance from the saltan himself. "This finnan," the guardian priest said, "commands me to let you enter the mosque. . "Very well; you can euter. But think well before you do so, for I mid nothing written here about let ting you out again!" Your money not ours until you are satisfied with the goods you purchase. TheS. B. Barker Co. Uchanga.
