SEVERE STORMS.


Telegraphs Dem0ralixed and Fears OF Sc.
riOus Destruction.
CHICAGO, July 5-The almost total pa
ralysls Of the telegraph service west Of
Chicago to-day indicates apparently that
tho storms OF the past few days eliminating
last night were the most widespread and
severest in q number Of years. The winds
and rains that began sweeping over the
West Saturday had until last night the
worst effects apparently confined to the
territory close TO this city. Yesterday the
Western Union had virtually remedied
trouble, when last evening the storms
seem to have broken out with redoubled
fury and played havoc over the entire
West.
A storm last night washed out culverts
and damaged streets, entailinR loss Of
5000. The tracks OF the New York, Penn
sylvania 4 Ohio and the Ashtabula and
Pittsburgh roads were washed out in many
places and trains were badly delayed.
James Davey and family were overtaken
BY the storm q few miles from Youngs-
town, and he attempted to ford stream
with four-year-old son in his arms, but
the current was too strong and the child
was swept away and drowned.
At Mason City, Iowa, . severe storm
swept over the northern part OF the county
yesterday. Corn fields were leveled, Q
number Of houses unroofed and small grain
was badly damaged. The rain and wind
were accompanied by the heaviest electric
storm known there for years. Many horses
and cattle in pastures, standing near wire
fences, were killed.

Bradstreet's Weekly Review Of Trade-Ex-
tent Of the Great strike.
NEW YORK. July 7.-Bradstreet's. in its
review Of the week, says: The effect on
general trade of the Fourth OF July holt
day, Of the customary diversion OF atten-
ton to stock inventories, has been to re-
strict business in many lines. Special tel
egrams to Br0dstreet's note these features
particularly at Boston, New York. Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh. st. Louis, Kansas
City. St Joseph, Omaha and Chicago.
Louisville and Denver are exceptions,
with reports Of improvements and &C
tivity in the distribution Of merchandise.
The crop prospects, as reported a.
Omaha, st. Joseph, Louisville and st.
Louis, are all favorable. Like reports
come from Galveston and New Orleans,
with the exception Of cotton in LouisiaDs,
where there has been too much rain. The
New York stock market Is moro active and
higher, and principally on crop reports.
though the influence Of the July disburse.
ments and Q feeling Of reaction from the
long continued depression have share IN
the movement. Bonds are strong and 10
good demand. Money 10 easy.
Our investigation into the Alnalgamated
Iron and Steel Association strike indicate
that the number Of men on strike and
rendered idle has been overestimated. The
statement telegrsphed from Pittsburgh
that 100, 600 men had been rendered idle is
exaggerated. To date seventeen mills have
signed the scale and agreed to pay the old
rate of wages. Four or iive other mills are
expected to sign the scale in ten days The
number of men on strike is about $1,000.
The reports of business failures number
$40 In the United States this week against
2O4 last week, and 14l the Same week last
year. Canada has 10 this week against
8 last week. The total number Of fail

KANSAS CROPS.


Secretary A0hler Issues Another Favor.
able Report.
TOPEKA, Kan. July 7.-Hon. N. Mohler,
secretary Of the Kansas State Board Of
Agriculture, issues tho following official
circular today:
ents, representing nearly every county In the
State, clearly indicate that the expectations Of
the early spring, based upon the favorable con
dition then, are about to be realized IN our
State. the wheat crop being already secured;
also fair oats crop and corn has never been In
more promising condition At this date.
Wheat-The acreage Of wheat ~ shown by
the assessors return already received Ut this
ONCE, has been overestimated about 10000
acres for the State and ten per cent Of tho
acreage sown in the fall Of 1887 is reported not
harvested, leaving still the acreage which was
not harvested about 10000 acres. OF the acre
sge harvested the average yield per acre Of the
State il estimated at seventeen and onehalf
bushels, being two and one-half bushels higher
than We estimated it q month ago, indicating
total wheat product for the State Of 17,50c,0os
bushels.
Corn-Since the weather has become warm
and rain abundant corn has made IN unusually
rapid growth, and, with the exception Of some
damage by bugs entering from adjacent wheat
fields. the crop Is free from insect depreciation.
Oats-The oats crop in good many counties
was cut short BY chInch bugs. but generally
throughout the State IL is reported good.
STANDARDIZATION IS compared with full
average crop: Corn, full average, 99.1: oats,
average, e; rye, average. 90; barley, -; potar
toes, S.; broom corn, full average, Is; naxseed,
full average, %; sorghum, 81 per cent: miIlet,
%: tame grass. full average. s6; prairie grass,
full average. Is; apples, full average. 90.
Rainfall and chinch bugs-Throughout the
month Of June. especially the last half OF the
month, rains have been abundant in every
section Of the State, with the exception Of q
few counties in the western portion. Fifty
counties report no bugs TO hurt" The balance
report some damage TO corn crops. Rains con
ttnulng plentiful will remove all apprehensions
Of loss 70 this crop from these destructive in
