Illinois, Indiana and Iowa Literally Baked
by Heat-MRny Cattle Dying.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1G.-Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa are parched. Until Tuesday
evening Kansas was in the same condi-
ton, but rain came. In southern llli-
nois the temperature has averaged 90
degrees for II days. Corn Is being de-
st, Dyed in all the Egyptian country,
and no such record has been made in
heat and drought since the September
Of 1872 The Sangamon, Mackinaw
and vermillion rivers are nearly dry
and the cattle are dying for want OF
water.
In Indiana no drop OF moisture has
fallen in two months, the corn being
burned to death, the pastures are as
inflammable as powder and prairie
ores are raging. All over northern
and eastern Indiana prayers for rain
are being offered. Iowa has averaged
nearly 90 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.

have been killed, while many others
were injured. Buildings were blown
down and great damage was wrought
From early morning the sky was
threatening, and stiff gale blew. No
rain OF consequence fell until four p.

heavy wind that increased In intensity
until II reached the enormous velocity
of so miles an hour. Every building

A scene Of great desolation was pre-
scented Monday morning. At least 10
frame buildings had been converted
into kindling wood and u number OF

tents torn and scattered in every direc-
ton. The bodies Of the dead are in

A dispatch from Beaumont last night

received n dispatch from the agent at
Sabine Pass, who walked from Sabine
Pass to Port Arthur, stating that the
track for eight miles is washed away
and that 80 people are missing. He re-
ports the sinking Of two tugs and the
drowning of Green Moore and Lewis
Bettes, prominent steamboat men OF
Orange. A later message says that
the loss of life at the pass will not be
so great as reported, probably not
more than six or seven.
An present it is utterly impossible
to ascertain the full extent Of the dam
age done at the several towns, but 1t is
evident that the destruction has been
extensive. One dispatch states that
the people of che towns named and in
their vicinity who are not now helping
the wounded or caring for their dead,
are busy seeking homes on the almost
barren prairie.
