WHEN TITS HOT ENOUGH.
w. N. Hall THINKS 100 Degrees Is
About the Right Temperature
For Removing His Coat.

w N. Hall of the Hall Iithographing
company insists that man can do just
as much work in summer while wear
ing his coat in an office he could do
were his coat, collar and cuffs removed.
Mr.. Hall wears his coat all the time.
Saturday afternoon while the mercury
was lurking about the attic Mr.. Hall
complained of the heat slightly. He
glanced at the thermometer and saw
that it registered SO.
When it gets up to 100, I'll take off
my coat he exclaimed.
Mr.. Hall went to another part of the
office for a moment and one of the men
stuck a lighted cigar under the tube.
The mercury warmed up to 100. Mr..
Hall returned and saw the condition of
things and Immediately removed his
coat, collar. necktie, cuffs. unbuttoned
his shirt collar and settled down to
work and does not yet know that joke
was PLAYED on him.

CAR FAMINE CERTAIN.
All Lines in Kansas Short of Cars to
Handle the Wheat Crop.

From this time up to the first of Oc-
tOber the Kansas railroads will be
principally engaged in transporting the
immense wheat crop of the state. 1t
viii be a season of arduous labor for the
officials of the operating and car ser
vice departments, and only those in
railroad service in Kansas during the
movement of the big wheat crop of
1892 know what to expect.
The movement is now underway and
demands for cars are coming in from
all points in the state. These demands
are increasing daily, and operating
officials say that a car famine is inevi-
table. If all the grain cars on the roads
west of the Missouri river were brought
into the state at once the number would
not be sufficient to take the big wheat
crop out of Kansas.
Shop forces at division points in the
state are being increased to take care
of the repair of rolling stock necessary
during the movement. and scores of
train employees are being hired. There
will be the heaviest freight traffic in
Kansas this year than any year since
1892

SUNDAYS HOT WINDS.
Dispatches From West and Central
Kansas Tell Sorrowful Story.

The hot winds of Sunday were gener-
al throughout Kansas and in many
places was the worst day of the year
Dispatches from the west, central ana
northern parts of the state are given;
Great Bend, Aug. yesterday was
one of the hottest days of the season,
with the mercury as high as los and
with burning winds blowing from the
south. 1t was a very hard day on corn,
sorghum, broomcorn, and, in fact, all
rough feed crops, and if Barton county
has any corn it viii be because it was
planted early, hence is beyond the point
where it will be badly damaged. A few
more days like this Will cut the hay
crop very short, but as the county is
full of straw, this Will entail no partic-
ular hardship.
At present the crop will average up
as whole fairly well, but the past few
days have dried out the ground and
rain would be very acceptable.
Salina, Aag: 2@This city experienced
day. About o'clock the thermometer
registered 100, but the mercury kept
climbing and by 4:3O some thermome-
terS had reached the 100 mark, where it
remained until after o'clock No pros
trait ms are reported. The winds which
struck this country Thursday are still
blowing and doing great damage to the
corn. There was no rain last night
Trainmen report a similar day clear to
the Nebraska line.
EmpOria, Aug. 2.-Throughout this
and the adjoining counties of Chase,
Morris and Greenwood hot winds pre-
vailed yesterday drying up the pasture
and water supply. The corn crop in
Lyon and Chase is badly damaged and
badly those of Morris, Greenwood and

F. c. GAYS ESTIMATE.
Santa Fe Freight Agent Thinks Kar-
sas' Corn Crop May Be Thirds.

F. c. Gay, general freight agent of
the Santa Fe road, has returned to To-
peka from a trip to Denver His es-
innate of the corn crop is not as large
as others.
1T is impossible for anybody to form
a safe estimate of the Kansas corn
crop until after the goth of August"
said he in speaking of the subject.
The hot winds are likely to play
havoc with the figures made up to the
middle of August, and if d man has
had practical experience in the state
he is very conservative in his talk I'M
ill the period of hot winds is past. Then
he may do some Dragging. Kansas
may raise twO-thirds of a corn crop
this year That would make 175. 900
to 100000 bushels. The wheat crop is;
safe and it amounts to sc, OO0, coo bush
els. These are big figures and mean
that farmers of Kansas are prospecting
as no other class of men in the entire
country are prospecting. The Kansas
farmer has no kick coming. No peo-
pie in the entire country are paying off
their debts as are the farmers of Kan

Champlain Hotel Orchestra Plays
McKinley's Favorite Air.

Hotel Champlain, N. Y, Aug. "A
warm, bright sun breaking through the
wet clouds which have hung over the
Adirondacks and the beautiful Lake
Champlain for several days, encouraged
the president to come out today and in
duIge in the only real outing he has had
in a long time. The president appeared
to be in exceedingly good health He
said that ten hours of good sleep in the
fresh mountain air had done great
deal for him.
Mrs. Mckinley, who has so far during
her stay kept to her apartments, has
recovered from the fatigue of her long
tourney from Washington. This morn
ing she arose and received several wo-
men who are staying at the hotel,
among them Mrs. Alger and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bailey.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
breakfasted at 8 o'clock. The fashiona-
BILE hours at Champlain are 10 and half
an hour later.
Those who come late to the breakfast
room are cheered by an inspiring con-
cert When the musicians began play
ing this morning, and party from the
hotel was starting off in the hotel brake
for Au Sable Chasm, the president ap-
peared accompanied by Mr.. Porter and
walked about the grounds.
One of the guests of the hotel had
informed Leander Clark that the pres
ident's favOrite musical air was a ne
gro levee ditty called Louisiana Lou, -
so Mr. Clark had his musicians play it,
which tribute was acknowledged by the
president with a graceful bow.

OLD GLORY TO THE FRONT.
Procession of Foreigners Halted by
Police Sergeant at Trenton, N. j.

Procession of Foreigners Halted by
Police Sergeant at Trenton, N j.
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 2.-Police Ser
geant Dettmar yesterday stopped
procession of Slavs and Hungarians on
their way to a picnic, and compelled the
marshal to advance the American flag
from the rear of the line to the place of
homer in front.
Soon after the procession started it
was noticed that large blue silk flag
was carried just behind the band, while
the stars and stripes We're carried by a
tall man at the rear of the line. The
marshal was notified that the American
flag should be put in front, but paid no
attention to the warning. Word was
sent to police headquarters and Sergt.
Dettmar stopped the parade, and told
the marshal that there would probably
be trouble unless the positions of the
two flags were reversed. There was a
conference of the leaders of the society,
and then the marshal ordered Old Glory
to the front, and the parade was con-
tinued. The marshal told the sergeant
that he did rot know that it made any
difference which flag was in front.

MUST STAND TRIAL.
Jointists Held to Answer Summons
in Injunction Proceedings

The temperance committee of seven
teen won the preliminary bout in the
Shawnee county district court this
morning.
The cases involved were the injunc-
ton suits brought against the jointists
by A. H. Vance for the committee of
seventeen. The suits were brought in
the name of the state by a private in
dividua1 and Eugene Hagan and A. H.
Case attempted to have them thrown
out of court on the ground that no
bonds for costs were filed.
Judge Hazen in deciding the case de-
livered a carefully written opinion. He
said that the law gave to a private
citizen the same right to commence a
suit for the abatement of a common
nuisance as the county attorney or at
torneV general
THE statute requires that citizen
shall give a cost bond or make money
deposit in civil cases, and the only ques-
ton now involved is whether the same
thing could be required Where the state
is the party. I think it cannot. If q
nuisance exists, a private citizen should
not be required to give bond to secure
its abatement
Judge Hazen then refused to- set aside
the summons on the grounds set up
and the injunction suits must be tried.
