the investigation of the Occur d'Alene la
Dor troubles was submitted to-day. The
report says:
The Governor of Idaho, in his efforts
TO establish and enforce the laws of the

ana fearlessness. The blind hatred ex-
cited by the mob, the consequent distur-
pance of public business and the reign
OF lawlessness, is in a fair way TO be

the mob had been supreme, is a matter of

session, when Mr.. Hay of Virginia, at
tempted to file the views Of the minority
OF the Military Affairs Committee on the
Occur d'Alene investigation. The chair
stated that he had directed that certain

mony, and the arguments of attorneys, be
not printed.
Mr.. Hay protested vehemently against

Lake City, Fla, June 5.--Dr. ]. l.. Hor-
sey, assistant health officer of Florida,
was in town a few days ago. He came
to inspect the drinking WAFER of the city.
He reports that in the lake from which
the water supply is obtained he found
about 2 per cent. per volume of organic
and vegetable matter but from careful
inquiry be learned that less than / per
cent. OF the population drank the water
from the lake, and only about two-thirds
of the population used it for bathing
purposes. DR.. Horsey is of the opinion
that the shallow surface wells are about
as injurious to health as the lake water.
The artesian well will be ready to fur
nish water within the next three weeks,
and Lake City will then be blest with
an abundance of pure water for all pur-
noses.

pied by the enemy. Henry's and Ross

set, Dorset, Bedford and Sussex com
panies of yeomanry quickly dislodged
them from the south bank and pursued
them nearly mile, when they found
themselves under heavy fire from guns
which the Beers had placed in a well con-
cealed commanding position.
"our heavy guns of the Naval and Royal
Artillery, which had purposely been placed
in the front of the column, were hurried
to the assistance Of the mounted infan-
try as fast as oxen and mules could
travel over the great rolling hills sur
rounding Pretoria. The guns were sup
ported by Stevens brigade of Pole-Ca-
rew's division and, after few rounds
drove the enemy from their position.
The Beers then attempted to turn our
left flank, in which they were again
foiled by the mounted infantry and yeo-
many, supported by Maxwell's brigade
of fuckers division. As. however, they
still kept pressing our left rear, / sent
word to Ian Hamilton, who was advanc-
ing three miles TO our left TO incline to-
ward us, and fill up the gap between the
two columns. This finally checked the
enemy, who were driven backward TO-
ward Pretoria. / hoped we would have
been able to follow them up, but the days
now are very short in this part OF the

Temperature conditions as a whole, were

Generally corn has made satisfactory
advanc ment. Cut worms are causing
damage in South Carolina and other
states.
Winter wheat has begun as far north al
Southern Kansas and wheat is ripenmg
in the southern portions of Missouri and
Illinois. The heavy rains in Texas have
seriously interfered with harvesting and
injured wheat in shock. Short straw is
generally reported from the Middle Attain

except in Pennsylvania.
The general condition of spring wheat
is unpromising in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, but very favorable reports come
from Washington and Oregon.
Oats are more favorable. Harvesting
continues in the Southern states and as far
north as North Carolina.
The hay crop in the Ohio Valley as wei

MIDSUMMER In ARIZONA.
Region Where the Noondoy Heat
Breaks the Thermometer.

The cottonwoods have shed their cater
pillars; there has been thunderstorm;
mesquite wood has fallen In price; In
dams are selling bows and arrows; the
rose and the oleander have long been out;
oranges are in bloom; the umbrella tree
Is putting out its leaves; last summers
suit has been cleaned and pressed. the
small boy has gone swimming in the cam
al; the wise man stays up nights and
steals irrigation water from his neigh
hors; alfalfa is most ready to cut; straw
berries are nearly ripe; summer will soon
be here, and the Phoenix summer bed
room will soon be necessary.
Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the sum-
mer, and the bed room is born of that
necessity 1t is on stills; is built of wire
screen OF fine mesh, for the Phoenix mos
quito is microscopic in size. 1t Is furnish
ed, according to the taste Of the occupant,
with interior curtains, to keep out the
morning sun, the gaze of the curious
and the sand-storm.
The bed is a cot of canvas or woven
wire. covered, perhaps. with a sheet, but
even a sheet feels like a feather beh on
a Phoenix summer night The bed cover
ing is the roof of the bed room. and care
less folks who consult their comfort only
don't wear nightshirts.
Phoenix is proud of its climate during
eight months of the year, but 1t doesn't
talk much in public about its midsummer
1t Is a right warm day when the Govern
ment Weather Bureau doesn't know what
the sun temperature is and is unable to
determine 1t, and that Is how hot it gets
in Phoenix. l called on Observer Burns
one day last July and asked him what
the official temperature was in the
sun. He said he did not know, and that
the government couldn't afford to expert
ment to that end. He said he had attempt
ed to catch the sun temperature during
the summer of 1898, and had broken a 50
Thermometer in The attempt. To please
my curiosity he. hung thermometer in
the sun, watched 1t until IL registered
1856 degrees. and then took 1t in. fearing II
would break.
