New York, June 26.-Many heat pros
trations occurred In different sections
OF the city yesterday, when blazing
sun heralded the hottest day yet ems
dured this summer. The thermometers.
at $3.50 o'clock p. m. recorded a street
temperature OF IS degrees. The nearest
approach to this record was scored on
June 2, with 80 degrees. 1t was proba-
bly, due to the absence OF atmospheric
humidity that the heat did not make
itself more progressively felt. When the
extreme heat of the day was attained
in the. afternoon, with 9S degrees, the
conditions were almost unbeatable in
those quarters Of the city where the big

Convention Humbug.
After all there is good deal Of hum-
bug about . convention. An. Iowa deli
egation was necessary because that Is
the system, but aside from the, DOlliver
boom their work in the convention
could have been done by two men
placed on the committees and the re-
suit would have been the same If these
two had stayed at home. What !s true
of Iowa is true OF every state not in
the vice presidential conspiracy.
Roosevelt is q remarkable man.
never saw truer or more sincere face.
The man is incapable of duplicity. He
can't understand how man can say
one thing and mean another. He is a
judge OF men in business affairs and
in daily life and he wants man to
look him straight in the eye, but the
pure. .unadulterated cussedness and
deviltry OF politician he simply can't
fathom.
Iowa Danger.
Different from all others was ]. w.
Blythe. He casts chill over men. His
face is strong but repelling. He spoke
to but few. sought acquaintance with
none. 1t was word here and a whis-
per or nod there. In all probability
| he was here to adjust the nicer parts
OF the little machine he Is perfecting
and perhaps doing little oiling OF the
parts that don't run smoothly. My own
Judgment is that Iowa republicans will
do we'll TO fight shy of this man and his
methods. They may we'll fear him. He
| lis not in politics for the good of the re-
publican party and the first thing Iowa
Republicans know they will be crushed
by a more merciless machine than Tom
9Platt's. Quay's, thank God and honest
Republicans in Pennsylvania, is
broken. Platt's has at times been
badly Jared. 1t is funny to hear Iowa

Lincoln, June s6.-"I am at home to

the way w. j. Bryan greeted newspa-
yesterday.
Mr. Bryan denied statements sent
out from Lincoln and Chicago that his
plan of campaign had been mapped
out and that his speeches would be
nearly all made from the porch of his
Lincoln home He said: Any state
ment made by any body in regard 70
campaign plans are without foundation
or authority. No plans have been made
By me or by any one for ME, and no.
plans Will be made until after the con-,
3Nention has been held.

No one. OF course. can say what

Atlanta, Ca. June 2e.-Reports re-
.ceived here from points in Georgia. and
parts of Alabama and South Carolina
show that recent heavy rains have in
undated "a vast territory and caused
enormous damage to bridges and other
farming properties. Crops, including
cotton, corn. and especially fruit. which;
was nearing maturity when the wet
season began. have been greatly in.
iured and vast amount has been lost
to the farmers of the southeastern
states. The rainfall has been unpre-s
cedented. All the streams are out Of
their banks and carrying away bridges
and ferries in large numbers. The sub
structure of the handsome bridge over
the Ocmulgee river at Macon was car
ried away yesterday. Reports say the
Savannah river at Augusta was TWEEN
ty-nine feet at noon and rising two
inches per hour. The mills there are
closed down on account Of the back
water in the canal. AT Rome. Ca. the
river is eighteen feet above low water
mark and rising one inch per hour. AT

The low lands have been devastated
and only the higher farming lands are
untouched. Indications are for a cessa-
ton Of the rain, which will cause the
streams to fall rapidly.

A murder mystery has developed at
Wyoming. Pa, near Wilkesbarre, and the
principal figure in it is Rev. -. G. Stuart,
a former pastor of the Wyoming Baptist
church. His wife died suddenly two
weeks ago at the home of her daughter
in Plymouth. She had been married but
three months and was i'll only ten days.
Her illness was not considered serious,
and she died suddenly shortly after her
husband had carried dinner to her bed
side. An empty bottle having the label
of "carboic acid" was found near the
bed. and suicide was suggested. Numer-
Gus susphious circumstances have been
brought to light, and the body was ex-
humcd and an autopsy will be held. The
minister was asked to account for some
money belonging to the church, which
he failed to do, and he resigned his
pastorate and left for Philadelphia,
where he was arrested.
