THE DROUGHT IN KANSAS.
All Previous Estimates of the Corn
Crop Must be Materially
Modified.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 2O.-Two-
thirds of Kansas west of the three
eastern-most tiers of counties, is ex-
periencing one of the most severe
droughts in the history of the state,
and the general opinion is that the
Kansas corn crop will be the smallest
is proportion to its requirements for
feeding that has been made in many
years. In 1899 it was 225, 5,OOO,O BUSH
els. Secretary Coburn's report of
conditions on August "a indicated u
yield this year of about 145,O0O,OO0
bushels. Since then there have been
two weeks of hot, dry weather which
has further materially reduced con-
ditions, and the most liberal estimates
of well-informed men on change do
not exceed 100000 bushels, while
many place the crop at not over
100000 bushels. The plowing for
winter wheat is delayed by the dried
condition of the soil. The pastures
are dry, and stock water in many sec
tiops i scarce

Illicit Brandy.

1t appears that number of distillers
in this State have been making brandy
without having reported the same to
the government for assessment. The
officers have gone along and assessed
distillery operators an amount they be-
lieve to be due the government, and the
district attorney has fled suit against
the following parties: J. III. Long,
Franklin county, to collect s6O9.2e; ].

to the advices of Admiral Remey. The
inner, or as it is popularity known, the
Forbidden City, evidentI.' had not
been taken. 1t is surrounded Ivy a
massive wall of solid masonry, more
than twenty feet high, and IL is not
regarded as surprising that the Chi
nese should make their final stand
within its shadows.
Thought to Have Left PeLIn.
Prior - the receipt of the dispatch
il was accepted generally as a fact
that the dowager empress, in COM
Pany with the emperor and a large
suite, had left Pekin. While nothing
is said in Admiral Remey's advices as
to the whereabouts of the emperor,
it is deemed scarcely probable thac he
left the city without the empress
dOwager. Some doubt of the accuracy
of the information received by .\d-
miral Remey is expressed, particular
ly as the Chinese minister, Mr.. Wu, is
very positive that the emperor, en-
press dowager and the entire Chinese
court left Pekin before the arrival at
the gates of the allies.

HoIbrook College Burned.

The main building of the Holbrook
Normal College at Knoxville was to-
tally destroyed by fire last week. The
loss is about sec, 1000, including a valua-
bic college library. The building was
erected six years ago by Josiah Hol-
brook of Ohio, who established the
school. Recently it was sold to the
Baptists of East Tennessee for Bap-
tist college. Another building will
take the place of the one destroyed.
