An Epidemic Could Hardly Be Worse In
It's Deadly Effects.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. li.-Monday was
another day of sitting heat. during
which funeral parties passed in con-
tinuous stream over the cemetery thor
oughfares. The FURNISHED sky was
without a cloud and the occasional
gusts of south wind swept over the
city In furnace-like waves of heat. The
degrees OF temperature registered by
thermometers bear no relation To the
suffering eDtailed, as the long siege has
left thousands helpless TO Withstand
even a moderate degree OF heat. An
alysis of tic death cases Sunday and
Monday show that over half were
stricken four or five days ago. From
Sunday midnight TO nine y. IN. 10 deaths
were reported within the city limits.

ton. The prostrations are so numer-
Gus that only those treated at the city

ACTION OF CANADIAN BANKS.
Take steps 20 Decrease Circulation OF
American Money.


American Money.
Toronto, Ont, Aug. ll.--A combined
effort is about TO be made by city banks
TO decrease circulation OF American
bills in this city. AZ present the city
is flooded with American silver certifi-
Gates. The following notice was posted
In the Standard bank Monday:
ION and after Saturday, August is,
American one dollar bills will only be
received for 90 cents"
IL is understood that other banks will
follow the example OF the Standard
bank. This action will probably result
In n much decreased circulation OF
American bills In this city. In regard
to the American silver, most of the city
banks are not accepting II at all. Some
will accept American silver only n ON
customers, but only in small amounts.
The railway companies refuse TO hardle
il and departmental stores are discuss-
ing the advisability OF refusing IL as
money.
Hamilton, Ont. Aug. 1i.-Foilowing

merchants local banks here have de-
clueu 10 iNAuoN 10 uCVcpt Nihtiitdh MI
YER and silver certificates. For years
American bills and currency have been

United STATES silver orsiiyer certificates

TO the silver agitation In the United
States, but 10 the fact thai ut present
there Is too much American silver in
circulation In Canada.

COOL WAVE COMES Ar LAST.
A Welcome Drop In Temperature In Heat
stricken Cities.


Chicago. Aug. i2.-Sufering humane
~ and animals were favored at seven
o'clock Tuesday night by "A cessation
Of the deadly, dry scorching weather
which has prevailed for more than n
week. The welcome change was fore
cast by Prof. Garriott and heralded by
fresh. cooling breeze from the lake.
Although the temperature in the
early morning hours was much lower
than on Monday the breeze was yaria-
BILE and mostly from the west and
southwest. This warmed up the mer-
curry, and by four o'clock in the after
noon IL had risen to 90. In the west
division IL was still hotter. Thermom-
eters in the street there registered 95.
AT the health department the death list
was close to the mark set by Mondays
list. At two o'clock 107 deaths had
been reported. At five o'clock the of
fee closed. Out of n total of 1874. 81
were sunstroke fatalities, 81 cholera
infantum and nine acute intestinal.
New York Breaks the Record.
New York, Aug. 12.--Another day of
fearful heat which is expressing this
section has added page OF fatalities
and suffering more remarkable than
its predecessors. In New York city,
in Brooklyn and all the adjacent towns
and TIN oughout the states OF New
York and New Jersey the days re-
ports of deaths and prostrations over
shadow the record of any other day
in many years. In this city alone the
death list for "a hours footed up at
midnight more than 100 names. Brook
lyin adds Is 10 the list, and the heats

st. Louis, Aug. 12.-For the IL hours
ending at six p. m. Tuesday there was
an average reduction of four degrees in
the temperature. The highest point
reached was o6 degrees at five p. IN.
Occasional breezes did much TO abate
the suffering. In consequence the death
roll is reduced TO seven and the prostra-
tions to 81. None OF. the factories that
suspended work on account OF the heat
have resumed. however. and several were
added 10 the list OF the idle. The ice
supply is barely sufficient il the tenn
perature lowers at once, but another
week of hot weather would create n
famine. HoWekeepers now pay so
cents per hundred, with the prospect OF
further raise. The local weather fore
caster promises cool wave.

They Complain That They Are
Being Defrauded of Wages
Due.
The Labor Commission Intervenes in
Behalf of Two of the
Victims.

"The public ought to know about a
piece of fragrant rascality which has lat
terly been perpetrated," remarked Deputy
Labor Commissioner Dam yesterday.
"On Saturday morning the cases OF Ty-
Ter VS.. Bowers and McDermott VS.. Bowers
will come up for hearing before Judge
Groezinger. The actions are nothing but
ordinary suits for payment on account of
services rendered; but behind the mass of
entangled legal phraseology in which all
actions at law are involved lies an infini-
tude of vilainy which should call forth a
burst of popular Indignation.
Tyler and McDermott are two out of
many men who went to work under agree
ment with man named Bowers, who has
taken the contract for the demolition and
removal of the old American Exchange
Hotel building. After working for some
days the men asked for money.
A dollar or two was all that
each petitioner could obtain. Demands
one by one began to pour in, and when
the genial Bowers found himself sur
rounded by an angry crowd of men seek
ing money he became fustered. The
proper procedure under the circumstances
seemed to be the adoption of an attitude
of dignified defiance. Accordingly, the
next man who asked for his money was
suavelv advised to take his departure for
the internal regions.
Il consider this the most aggravated
case of swindling that has ever come be-
fore this bureau" commented Mr.. Dam.
Had l been consulted in private ca
pacity, on the street or in my home, and
not in this public office, | might have
urged more summary methods; but since
the matter came before me officially
was obliged to do the next best thing.
told them to sue at once, and recon-
mended them to a good attorney, Mr.
McCabe of 1927 Market street, who took
charge OF their cases forthwith. The
matters came up for hearing about week
ago, and Bowers entered a demurrer to
the two complaints, stating that he had
not the wherewithal to pay the amount CT
the claims. To this demurrer the plain
tiffs will make answer tomorrow.
I'm order to release himself from the
attachments which Tyler and McDermott
had levied against him Bowers put UP
bonds with Oscar Lewis and Julia Green as
sureties. Then he told the plaintiffs they
could sue or do what they pleased. The
attachments had been levied upon the
debris and materials of the old hotel.
Even before the bonds were issued
Bowers commenced to remove the stuff to
his yard. Still the material is in his Gus
tody and must be held liable for the claims
of the workmen. The outcome of the suit
is looked for with much interest bv the
other workmen, who have allowed Tyler
to know what policy to follow in order to
get their own wages. The Labor Commits
sion will side with the workmen, and for
one hone thew will win !"
