curtain stretched around the hall took

Of women and children, became panic

Unprecedented Drought In the West.
CHICAGO, October G.
The drOuth now prevailing in the
West Is probably unequalled In It's his.
tory, certainly for the past twenty-five
years. All through the central and South.
ern part of Illinois, the wells and smaller
streams are completely dried up, and the
inhabitants find great difficulty in OBJ.
tanning sufficient water to supply the
necessities of their household and their
stock. Many Of the wealthest farmers
are engaged in sinking artisan wells, pre-.
ierring to incur this heavy expenditure,
rather than trusting 10 the natural supply
for the future. So dry Is the soil that the
fall plowing is rendered almost impossible.
This fact Is true, not only in central and
Southern Illinois, but also In Northern
Illinois and all through Wisconsin.
