soLoN o. TEACHER DEAD.


Home In Lawrence
LAWRENCE, Kan, Aug Il - The
death of Judge Scion o. Thacher took
place at his home in this city at $50
o'clock yesterday morning, surrounded
by his family. He was conscious to the
last and had known during the past
week all that had been going on in his
waking hours He slept much of the
time, and thus the report got out that he
was unconscious Judge Thatcher was
sick a little over two weeks He had
gone to Colorado for his health, but
soon returned On the way home the
train was delayed for thirty-six hours
by high water, and during that time it
was impossible to get anything to eat
This aggravated his case, and since
coming home he sank rapidly.
Judge Thatcher was born in HorneIls-
vile, y. Y, in 1880 and in
1856 graduated with high honors from
the Albany law school. Soon after
the Fremont campaign in 1856 he
moved to Kansas, locating in Law
renee, where he took an active part in
the free state contest then raging. He
was temporary presiding officer of the
Wvaadotte constitutional convention
II 1859, and in 1864 was the republiean
union candidate for governor but was
defeated by Samuel J. Crawford.
Judge Thatcher filed many local
Offices, both by appointment and cleo
ton. He served as district judge
from 1859 to 1864, when he resigned.
At the time of his death he was serv.
ing as state senator from the district
composed of Douglass and jefferson

KANSAS CROP BULLETIN.

Big Corn Crop Acknowledging and FAN
Flowing i'm Progress
TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 1.-THE Kansas
weekly weather crop bulletin says: In
the eastern division corn, fruits, gar
dens, pastures and meadows with few
exceptions are in fine condition, the
early corn being nearly all out of dam
ger while the late is rapidly approach
ing maturity. Fall blowing is becoming
general. The good rains in the middle
division came too late to help corn in
Cloud and Republic counties, but they
have done much for pastures and late
crops Corn has been injured this week
in Phillips and Marshall and in Cow1ey,
but generally over the division it is in
very good condition and much Of it has
advanced so far that a large crop is
certain. The general absence of rain
in the western division was very favor
able for the harvest, which is now
mostly finished, and trheshing begun
