Five People Lose Titir Lives at Kansas
City from the Hot Wave-Deaths at Other
Places.
KANSAS C1TY, Mo-, July 10.-The ex-
cessive heat of yesterday was more
than a local visitation. The heated
area includes all of Missouri and Kan

20 or more prostrations were recorded.
Those who lost their lives in Kansas
City by the heat were; Michael

death list reached nine. The heat
found two victims in st. Joseph and

fatalities in proportion. Besides do
ing much damage to corn, dispatches
indicate that heat has been even a
greater hardship to dumb beasts, es-
pecially fatal to horses and cattle.

have made life burden since the warm
weather of 1897 began yesterday was
the worst. There were more deaths of
human beings and of animals, and the
number of prostrations was greater
than upon any other day of the long
hot spell that has hung over Chicago.
Sixteen people are dead from the heat;
two are insane, and out of a large
number of prostrations, ten cases are
critical
At Cincinnati the number of heat
deaths yesterday was six. Thirty pros
trations were also reported. At Lafay-
cite, Ind, three deaths occurred yes
terday from the effects of the heat,

crazed by the rays of the sun,
leaped into the Harlem river and was
drowned. Seven sudden deaths yester-
day were indirectly due TO the heat.
At indianapolis, Ind, yesterday was
the hottest day of the year. Oscar +.
Mayhem. "A bookkeeper, and Daniel j.
