It notes meteorological controversy, claims of multiple rainfall demonstrations from 1900 to 1908, and comparisons to other historical rainmaking methods, including native and ancient practices, while presenting mixed opinions on the efficacy and origins of the rainfall.

Wealth From Early Bone Hunters of Kansas Prairies
Wichita Correapomteaca recounts a time when Seneca Street was paved with buffalo horns and bones as settlers dumped skulls after seeking profit. Buffalo skulls and horns were valued little then, later becoming precious as markets shifted to art and collectors. Father Bias and Dudley offer anecdotes on bone trade, while the city and region reflect on forgotten wealth and wasted heads.
