PRAYING FOR RAIN.
FARMERS AND PREACHERS ASK
HEAVENS HELP.
Conditions Prevailing Are Worse than
Have Been Experienced for Many
Septembers-school Forced to Close
Because of the Deadly Heat,
MANY States STRICKEN.

Wells are drying, corn is scorchng, pas
lures are bare, dust is inches deep and the
pastors are calling special meetings and
joining their hocks in earnest prayers for
rain. Illinois, Indiana and Iowa are
parched. Until Tuesday evening Kansas
was in the same condition, bat rain came.
In Southern Illinois the temperature
averaged 80 degrees for fourteen days.
Northern Illinois and Chicago are having
an unusually hot period for SO late in the
season. Corn is being destroyed in all the
Egyptian country, and no such record has
been made in heat and drouth since the
September of 1879. The Sangamon,
Mackinaw and Vermilion Rivers are near
ly dry, and the cattle on a thousand hills
are believing in vain and dying for want
Of water.
In Indiana no drop of moisture has fall
len for two months, the corn is being
burned to death, the pastures are as in
fammable as powder and fires are raging.
All over Northern and Eastern Indiana
prayers for rain are being offered in all
the churches. Iowa has had an average
of nearly 80 for ten days and never in the
States history has there been so much
suffering in September. Public schools
are closed in many towns, workmen are
forced to quit toll and prayers for rain
are going up on every hand. In Ohio also
public schools were forced to close on ac-
count of the extremely hot weather. Chill
dren tainted at Bellaire during the morn
ing and there was no school in the af-
ternoon. Michigan, too, is scanning the
skies and watching every newspaper ard
weather bulletin for the promise of a
downpour. Farmers are anxious, fruit
raisers are downcast and the people of
the cities are discouraged.
Following is a table of temperatures in
the principal cities Tuesday:

The so-called Struble murder mystery
at Shepherd, Mich, seems to be de-
veloping into a story Of defalcation
and suicide. 1t is known almost beyond
doubt that Struble died by his own hand,
and the charitably inclined say he was
insane when de did it. One by one the
supporters of the murder theory are for
saking that idea. The officers have been
working upon the suicide theory for about
a week. What first turned their attention
to this idea was the discovery Of mys-

Bad for Barley Growers.

The American Mailing Company, the
combine recently formed in New York, is
to be conducted on the lines which have
made the sugar syndicate one of the most
profitable and powerful trusts in the
country. The leading brewers of Mil
waukee and the country were in it from
the start and are large holders Of stock.
1t is said that one OF the first moves Of
the new company will be to shut down a
number of the smaller mailing concerns
and soon raise the price of malt. On the
other hand, the price of barley will prob
ably fall, as it will do away with the COM
petition among the maltsters.
