TO SUPPLY FROM WICHITA.
The DoId Packing Company Will In
crease Their Force.

Wichita, Sept. 5.-The Dold Packing
company in Kansas City suffered a ser
ious loss by fire and the plant will have
to be shut down, while repairs are be-
ing made. The plant in this city will
have to fill not only it's own orders,
but that of the Kansas City plant.
Fred DOld stated this morning that
if necessary the plant in this city could
fill the orders for the Kansas City plant
for a limited time. At present the plant
in this city is killing 500 to 500 hogs a.
day and is handling practically no
steers. The plant when operated to it's
full capacity can handle little over
1000 head of hogs and $50 head of
steers a day.
The force of men now employed at
the plant is not large enough to Oper-
ate it at it's full capacity and if it is
necessary for the local plant to supply
the Kansas City plants orders, Mr.
bold said that he would bring enough
men down from Kansas City with him
to run the plant at full capacity as
long as required.

building which will be used as the man

the machinery has been done yet and

The penitentiary board directors. will
meet in regular session Tuesday and at
that time it is probable work will be
ordered commenced.
The state has begun the retimbering
of the coal shaft. The work will cost
nearly $4,000 and the whole of it will
be done by prison labor. The work
was begun at the bottom OF the shaft
and goes very slowly, as the timbers in
place have to be replaced by new ones
as soon as taken out. The usual meth
cd of timbering a shaft is to begin at
the top and go down.
Some coal is being taken out of the
mine although it is not brought out of
the main shaft where the repairs are
going on. The air shaft is being used
to hoist the coal.
At present not enough coal is being
taken out of the mines to supply the
state institutions and Chief Clerk
Barnes of the penitentiary said yester-
day that the state would have to buy
coal this year for the state institutions

HOT WIND TODAY.
It Is Blowing over Kansas, But Doing
Little Damage.

A burning hot wind is blowing from
the south over Kansas today Three
weeks agO it would have meant a loss
in the corn crop of thousands of dol
lars, but now it is harmless except to
late corn. The crop of early corn is
made, and there is but little late corn
in the state. What there is, however,
will be greatly damaged by the wind
today.
In the southern and western portions
of the state the hot wind has forced the
temperature several degrees above the
100 mark. Many points in the middle
and eastern portions report the tenn
perature from Sc to 1O1 degrees.
