A PRoFirABLE INDUSTRY.


One of the chief products OF the Pa
louise country, which IN extent Is equal
TO some OF the Eastern states, is ilax
seed. IL is the prevailing Impression
among farmers that tho best returns can
be obtained by sowing iiIy for the first
crop Oh wild lands. In fact this indus
try has paid so we'll that many OF the
farmers have preferred TO rely upon tho
prices usually paid upon the tluctuating
prices Of wheat. The land Is especially
adapted 10 its growth, and rs 1t natures
before dry season can effect Its growth,
II Is considered safe and reliable crop.
liza linsced oil plant could be con-
str'icied at this point there would be
sufficient material raised to supply q
large concern. The competition would
bo slight and virtually not wofth con-
sidering, The demand would undoubt-
edly be greater than the output Of our
manufaotory and possibly enough TO
keep two mills running throughout the
entire year. If the right man could be
found who would be willing 90 engage
in tins enterprise, fortune would GER
taiply attend his efforts.

Yesterday capped the climax. The
thermometer continued on the ascend
ency until there are many citizens
whose yeracity has never been ques-
tioned-not even in horse trade-that
are willing to make affidavit that it was
the hottest day they ever experienced,
and there have been mighty hot days in
years gone by. as all are willing to ac-
knowledge. 1t was SO insufferably hot
that business was arly'paralyzed- The
sun in its scorching fury shot down re-
lentlessly upon the multitude until all
were compelled to seek shelter. Had it
not been for a refreshing breeze which
prevailed all day, the results must have
been disastrous, AS it was, many peo-
pie were overcome, although, happily,
no serious instances were reported. III
AT O'clock in the afternoon, in sheer
mercy, the foreman in charge OF the
crew of men engaged in grading Hope
street called time, and allowed the men
0 seek shelter. Work was also sus-
pended On z. T. Kavanagh's building,
in the course of construction at the cor
ner of Wabasha and Sixth street. and
on several other structures.
The only fatality reported was in the
case of Wenzel Horejs. who lives with
his sons, the Horeis Bros, bakers, at
461 West Seventh street. He CON-
planned of Illness during the early part
of the afternoon, when the heat was at
its height, and retired to his room Ill the
second story. Two hours later he was
discovered dead i'll bed. Coroner Quinn
investigated and concluded that he had
died from heat. Mr.. HorejS was sixty
years of age.
The heat was particularly severe on
the helpless horses. The sireetralEway
company gave their animals unusually
queutly. One of the horses attached to
the. Val Blatz Brewing cempany's de-
livery wagon fell dead on the street OIL
west Seventh street, near Ramsey. and
a team i'll the city's employ, engaged ON

street, was also overcome, but Will

On the preceding day Henry Wen

ST. LOUIS, June 27.-The strike of
platform men in East. Louis is still on,
and there seems to be no immediate
prospect Of settlement between the
men and the railroad officials. The
Mobile Il Ohio men, who resumed work
yesterday at the advanced wages, went
out-again to-day, and will remain with
the strikers until all the roads agree to
advance. About 200 of the strikers who
live in East st. Louis went across the
river this morning, and when they APP
preached the freight houses, they were
charged by the police, driven back and
forced to return to this city. They
then went to the Lightfoot hall. corner
of Eleventh street and Franklin
avenue, where they held a secret
meeting. 1t is learned, however, that
several speeches OF a rather incendiary
nature were made, one of the men being
reported as having said if they could
not work in the freight houses they
could burn them. All of the freight
houses were opened this morning, but
only a few men were at work and these
resumed their places to-day, and they

of the roads held another meeting this
forenoon, at which the Mobile d Ohio
was represented. Supt. Clark, OF that.
road, said his men were forced out yes
terday by the strikers. He had few
new hands working to-day: All the
railroad property In East st. Louis is
carefully guarded by watchmen and
there is large police force on duty. In
addition to this, should any riotous pro-
ceedings occur. large posse armed
with Winchester rifles will be ready to
act at moments warming. =!
