COULDN'T STAND THE HEAT.

CufcAao, July gT.-The list of The
deaths and prostrations from the heat
Tuesday was larger than those of Mon
day or Sunday, owing presumably to
the protracted heat of the iastNfew
davs rather than to the temperature of
Tuesday, which wasZone degree
cooler at the maximum than
the rnuximun OF Monday Seventeen
died and sixty-eieht were prostrated as
result OF the heat during the day.
This was by no means complete rec
ord of the prostration resulting from
the terrible heat. There were, in the
opinion of e the health authorities,
probably three times as many
people overcome by heat as were re-
ported to the office. In all cases where
people could be got home without inter-
yention of the police it was done, and
this makes the list necessarily incom-
piete.. The maximum height reached
by the signal service thermometer on
Tuesday was 90 degrees.
The heat is killing off the horses in a
greater ratio than it Is killing men,
women and children, for 100 horses
died Tuesday and the day before.. As
the average Is only thirty day, the
fearful increase caused by the heat is
three times as great If the heat con-
tinues day or more the health depart
ment expects even greater figures To
show the deaths, both human and
animal.
Dispatches Announce a great deal of
suffering from the extreme heat
throughout Illinois. At Vandalia the
mercury reached from 100 to 103 in the
shade. Two men were overcome. At
Woodstock work was suspended At
Virginia several were prostrated,
but no deaths were reported.
At Fairbury one death oc-
Cured. At Aurora the ther-
mometer ranged at 100 in the shade.
Work was suspended in several fac
tories, and dozen or more men were
Frustrated. At Newton it is said that
crops will he damaged if the heat con-
tinues. Many men and animals
have been Frustrated at jack
sonville. Horses dropped dead on the
streets at Galena, where the mercury
rose to 102 degrees; persons working
