ALL BIT THE DUST.
The Wind H;sw Great Guns and Hot Air
Made All III ut Ease.


Made All III ut Ease.
Every body bit the dust in more or
less quantities Yesterday. not in the
spirit of humiliation or in the COM
monty accepted adaptation of the
phrase. but purely as a matter OF
fact. Impenetrable. but penetrat-
ing clouds of it that rose FROM the
streets were encountered at almost
every step along the street. while it
was waited into the house through
window, kcyhole and crevice. 1t
was everywhere and all at the same
time. Nose, mouth, eyes and ears
were filled with it, and to this un-
happy ordeal was added an intensity
of atmospheric oppression that was
most uncomfortable. In fact, the
prevailing elements combined to
make one welcome the appearance of
a change which the rising clouds in
the west suggested as evening adj
vanced, without regard to how radi-
cal it might be in its tendency.
Extent and Effect
The wind blew during the day at q
velocity OF As miles an hour. pretty
rapid freight train travelling. and
considerable mischief was done in the
way of broken tree limbs, damage to
awnings. sheds and other outbuild-
ings, etc. On Sixth avenue east OF
Twenty-third street tree limb fell
across the trolley wire on the Elm
street line and delayed travel con-
sidcrably.
The temperature fell 81 degrees in
two hours-between and & last
evening-and the indications are
that il will be somewhat cooler to-
night than it was last, although the
temperature will experience little
change.

Michael and William are brothers
and came in to gaze upon the ele-
plant. After the evening perform
ance they commenced taking in the
sights. Some OF the stall "maidens''
captured them and ere long William
and Michael were intoxicated. A
couple of city guys attempted to
steal their female companions and
trouble was imminent. The melee
Terminated on the square and when
Capt. Long arrived all had d:sap-
peared but the two farm hands.
This morning William had large
blue shade over his left eye, while
Michael's had gone down somewhat.
William was assessed S. and costs
for disorderly conduct. and Michael
produced security while he went to
Viola to raise funds.

Upon his return u the city, he an
nonnced that he and Mr.. BRYAN had

for the year is from 2.250,0 00, 900 to
2,5OO, 000, 600 bushels. AT the present
price which is 80 cents for December or
May delivery, the crop will bs worth
$500, GOO, 600. A decline of 8 cents a
bushel would mean a difference of
Sll5, 900, 900 in the value of the crop.
To emphasiZ the ~immensity of this
product H. may be said that the State
of Iowa alone will raise enough corn
this year to supply more than 8
bushels to every man, woman and child
in the United States. Illinois, Iowa
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska COM
prise what Las been termed the corn
belt. This section furnishes nearly,
If not quite two-thirds the entire corn
product.
So favorable have reports been of an
enormous crop that the Of
the various railroads that traverse the
valleys OF the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers are already making range
ments and perfecting their equipment
for handling.the crop. The force of
workmen has been increased in II num-
Der OF the shops and all rolling stock
Is being repaired and made available
for use in addition to new freight cars
h u are being hurried rapidly in con
struction.
The government report OF July 10
indicated hat there would be an
unusually large yield of corn, but since
that report was issued the conditions
have vastly improved. Secretary
Morton has called for q special report
ON corn from all whcather stations,
which will be furnished next week.
The previous greatest yield of any
year was in 1889, when the acreage was
IS,3l9,65l and the yield Zip, 49,, coo

TALKING CLOCKS. = The new
chronomcters, which, through an in
genious application of the phono-
graph, speaks the hours instead of
striking them, are particularly use
full us alarm clocks. A French in
ventor is already at work on clocks,
which instead of the strident and
e%ar-piercing bell that every one is
acquainted with, have speaking discs.
One can thus have himself awaken
ed by the growing of the cock, or by
the vigorous accents of a we'll known
voice. He is constructing some
alarms which, with a disc of six or
seven centimetres, cry out to you
from one room to another, through
closed doors, such phrases as "Get
up" Come, wake upp loudly en-
ough and long enough to snatch
you from the arms of Morpheus. BY
retouching the photographic grooves
~repressing some of them, and exag-
gerating others, the inventor has
succeeded in giving the words pro-
nounced the peculiar accent charac-
teristic of such and such 1 locality.
Amateurs who may not be content
with ordinary discs will thus be able
to order others that will be true
family souvenirs.
