From TUESDAYS DailY.l

On Saturday evening Hussey, who

chased a suit of clothes. In payment
he rendered check pureorting TO be

the city banks for $50. The change was
given him and he departed. He next
went to the Pacific hotel, where he
handed the day clerk, ". .. Moore,
another check for $1z, requesting him
to cash it as he was in hurry to take
the stock train. Moore suspected it to
be forgery and refused to aeeemmo-

a ticket to Junction City. The agent
would not take it and the two men de-
parted.
No more was seen of them, but 1t is
supposed that they went to junction
where they are supposed to have beer

The Signal Services Report on
Week of Kansas Weather.
The report of the Kansas signal ser
vice, as given by Agent w. z. Gulick,
saws that the western portion of the
state was fairly we'll watered last week.
The central and eastern counties need
rain.
The highest temperature for June
occurred the first days of the week,
when it ranged from 80 degrees to 116
degrees: but with the 4th came cool
wave which tempered the suns rays to
the shorn harvest field. The sunshine,
with the temperature, has been exces-
sive.
Results-Corn is doing well although
in the eastern and far west counties it
needs rain. The wheat harvest is over
in the eastern and middle divisions,
and much of the wheat in stack, while
in the western division it is still III
progress, except in the southern coun-
ties, where the wheat, rye and barley
are now in the stack. In the eastern
division the oat harvest has progressed
well towards completion and the flax
harvest is in full progress. The oat
crop is not as uniform as the wheat,
ranging from poor in some sections to
very good in others. The hay harvest
has begun in many counties, but the
wild grass is much lighter than last
wear. Timothy and clover are good

Funeral Services

Among the last of the tributes Of re-
spect paid to the remains of David
Engle were the funeral services held In
the Abilene meeting house, Brethren
church, Sunday. The exercises were
conducted by Elder Jesse Engle and
Rev. Noah Zook. The latter selected
text from II Corinthians v, 1-6.
After delivering an able and appropri-
ate address, he was followed by Elder
Jesse Engle, who made use of Job xiv,
IA, IF man die, shall he live again?"
His remarks were brief and to the
point. The services in the church
were closed by the relatives forming
into procession and, with the friends,
proceeding to the place where the
corpse lay embalmed, at Eicholtz's I'M
dertaking parlors.
On Tuesday the family with the
corpse, started on their journey to Penn
sylyania, where the body will be laid
in its final resting place.
The age Of the deceased was AZ
years 10 months and 20 days. A child
l year and 8 months old was buried
some few weeks since and the services
were also in memory of its departure.
The attendance was very large,
friends coming from twenty miles away
to attend tue services. The relatives
have the sympathy of all.

GRAIN TAKES A BOOM.
All Products Make Sharp Advance
in the Markets.

III bu6 udIk6GSs
A sharp upward tendency in the
grain markets was noted yesterday and
still continues, satisfactory state of
affairs for the farmers and dealers.
Kansas City advices say that wheat
was higher at all speculative markets
from the opening to the close, last
prices at Chicago being cents higher
than Thursdays close. The excite
ment in the corn market, together with
a war scare in Europe and a continual
ton in the advances of English prices
of wheat, were the controlling news
factors in the market. Reports from
the northwest stated that the wheat is
not developing well, owing to the ex-
cessfve rains and hot weather. Receipts
of winter wheat are increasing, For
the three days since last Thursday st.
Louis has had 800 oars, aud there have
been 20 cars at Kansas City.

CORN ALL RIGHT YET.
Leading Farmers Say the Corn Fields

Leading Farmers say Lne Oorn I Ie1uo

Sensational reports in the Kansas
City papers regarding the 'hot winds"
in central Kansas are without basis.
There has been dry weather for two
weeks, to be sure, but there have been
no hot winds such have in former years

Leading farmers interviewed today
nv the REFLECTOR unite in the opinion
that the corn has not yet been much
damaged. The early planted fields are
in some places showing the lack OF
moisture but the late planted ones are

which surpassed it by only O-2S degree

Thresher Burned,

On Saturday a steamer, owned by
Strous 81 Lady pulled into Thos.
Craven's wheat field opposite J. Ii.
Taylor's farm, three miles south of
town, to thresh 20 acres of shocked
wheat. After a short run they were
unable to thresh on account of break
down. The men hauled in and built
two stacks of wheat at the machine
preparatory to commencing work on
Monday. After everything had been
safely arranged the men all left the
field. On Sunday night about II
o'clock, after Mr.. Craven returned
from town, he noticed a light in the
direction of the field. Going there he
discovered the separator and stacks In
a blaze. In short time all were
burned TO the ground. About Il
bushels of wheat together with a new
machine and straw stacks were totally
lost. There was no insurance. I'm
disputable traces were found, showing
it to be the work of an incendiary.
