Weather is Cooler.
Preceded by a wind that caused a
'ively dust storm hut no damage rain
which continued for two hours or more
began falling las' evenin gabout S
c clock During the precipitati jii
there was more than a half inch of
water fM doing much good to biirinmc
(fops replenishing th. supply cf si0.k
water cooling the otinosphere and re-
viving the spirits of the people gen-
erally. . By no means was the rainfall mle-
quate to meet conditions made some
what alarming by the prolonged
drouth but the shower of last night
did much good. The rain though not
heavy seenis to have been pretty
general over the west side of the state
striking more particularly those local-
ities that had not been visited by re-
cent rains e
The rain of last night did no extend
over the. eastern portion of the ataia
but that section had been favored
with a good ralu only a fw days ng;j
which now places the entire- state in
a more riioit con. iiiioti than It h i
been for some time.
Reports from over the state are in
substance as follows:
Perry got a half inch rain and in
wind : conditions much relieved.
T.awron got. Ui best rain of any
I'iice in the state more than two
inches falling there. The downfall
was gentle and .was accompani:I by
only a very slight wind.
Frederick came in for a goodly
share of the rain getting more than
a half. inch. Weather conditions that
were getting very had have been
greatly relieved and growing crops
gteatly benefitted.
Hobart got only a light shower but
enough to do much good.
Clinton and sitrounditig towns go1-
one fourth of an inch. Not any-thin
iike sufficient but enough to reviva
'h-ncs considerably.
Mangum was less favored than some
oilier towns in the burnt district only
a very light shower falling there.
Anadarko and Verden got fa'rly
good rainr. The Washita river raised
eight inches at Anadarko in two hour3
