SUDDEN CHANGE.
Intense Heat Followed by Wind and
Rain.

The weather department has no ex-
cuSeS to offer for itself today. Instead
1t is rather proud of the performance of
the weather yesterday evening and last
night.
In response othe prediction of cooler
weather the mercury made leap from
the maximum temperature of 101 in
the early afternoon to So degrees above
at midnight. Within the half hour
from 7:30 to o'clock last evening it
fell from IS to So degrees Up to
O'Clock this afternoon the maximum
temperature registered by the Their
mometer on top Of the Columbian build
ing was So degrees. This was at noon.
As early as 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon the perspiring people OF Topeka
knew that the weather department had
predicted correctly. The wind veered
to a northeasterly direction, and clouds
of dust Travelled the other way while
the mercury in thermometers gradually
commenced a downward journey. 1t
slipped through the eos into the SOS,
and at the hour scheduled for the horse
show to open it stood at IS degrees
above.
Then it was that the wind took anoth-
er veer and started to blow directly
from the north 1t gradually increased
in velocity until a rate of rs miles an
hour was reached, and by that time the
dust uprising of the afternoon and even
ing had developed in something that re-
minded one of the narrative of desert
SandStormS For a half hour the wind
continued at handicap speed,
and by the end of that time had forced
the temperature down 16 degrees.
BY midnight the temperature had
fallen four degrees more, and a heavy
rain was falling. The wind continued to
blow with considerable velocity during
the night and early mornings at one time
reaching a speed of 80 miles an hour.
The precipitation was .78 of an inch.
WeatherObserver Jennings has very
natural explanation of the wind storm
of last night. He says the southern
breezes that Travelled north on Tuesday
and Wednesday to meet the attractive
low on its tranScontinental journey to
the Atlantic coast were simply in a hur-
ry to get home.

LONG AND BLOODY WAR
China Is Expected to Defy the World
For Some Time.

Vancouver, B. c., June 2S.-General
Stahl, of the imperial German artillery,
who has been Investigating conditions
in the Orient under a special commits
sion from the German government, has
arrived here ON his way home.
On being asked if he thought the Box
ers would be quickly suppressed he said
that in his opinion the powers had
started in upon a long, bloody conflict.
In the end the Boxers would be dis
banded, but the sacrifice of life would
be appalling, for the movement was
spreading like wild fire throughout
China's vast territory. The south was
also about to take I'D arms and his
information was that the uprising in
the south was very grave and of great
dimensions. The southern Boxer would
join the north, and vast mobs of fanat-
les would have to be contended with.
They would be insufficiently armed at
first, but enormous quantities of arms
were being constantly smuggled to
them, and owing to the countless hordes
of fanatics and the vast territory COW
cred they could for some time defy
the whole world.
General Stahl added that the hostil-
ity between Japan and Russia was a
serious complication in the present cri-
sis, as it would interfere with the una
nimity of feeling between the powers,
which was absolutely necessary at this
time.

THE TROUBLE IN HAVANA.

Much has been said and written about
making Havana a good place to live in,
but no one unfamiliar with the print
tive conditions now prevailing in that
city from a sanitary point of view can
realize the greatness of the task The
city has no sewer system and even no
surface drainage. The houses are gen.
orally of stone and consist Of a room
fronting on the street, back Of which
extends a court, along the side OF which
are arranged other and smaller rooms.
The last room in the rear is generally
the kitchen. In the floor of this kitchen
is dug sink-hole. Into this hole. which
has no outlet except the natural see
page, flows all refuse from the house. As
long as the contents of this sink-hole
keep below the kitchen floor all is con-
sidered well. When it overflows, a. few
loads are taken out to make room for
more. Some of these sink-holes had not
been cleaned for so years, until the rest
less Americans with their troublesome
ideas came along and forced the owners
to make some attempt at sanitation

The Dramatic Mirror says that Maude
Fealy will enjoy the distinction next
season of being the youngest leading
woman on the American stage, she
having signed to occupy that position
with William Gillette Off the stage
Miss Fealy is a slender slip of a girl,
almost childish in appearance, but in
portraying character she deports herself
with the naturalness and composure of
a star of long experience. Possessing a
beautiful, expressive face, a voice of
musical timber, well modulated and of
fine carrying quality, with all the am
bition of youth combined with the in
telligence of maturer years, with nat
ural and charming methods, Miss Fealy
is singularly blessed with everything
to assure her a successful career. Many
hattering offers have been made for
her services for next season, among
them being one from E. S. Willard, who
wishes her to join him in London She
was also offered the leading female part
in Mr. Lifts production of caleb
West and Lygia in "Quo Vadis." She
will prove a valuable acquisition to Mr..
GiIlette'S company.

KANSAS HERSELF AGAIN.

IFrom the Chicago Inter Ocean,
This is a great year in the history of
Kansas. Besides tremendous crops of
corn, oats. barley and rye, she will pro-
duce not less than 10000 600 bushels of
winter wheat. All the crops are in ex-
cellent condition. Prices promise to be
good. Prosperity is beamfng upon the
blooming state There is practically
nothing in the world the matter with
Kansas
-Four years ago Kansas conditions
were different. From 1886 to 1896 it had
been the mission of Kansas to raise
statesmen. It was her belief that the
nation could not be saved unless she
dropped her own work and undertook
the task of saving it. So, with a view
to lifting all responsibility from the
shoulders of her sister states, she laid
aside her cuItivators and haTvesters
her threshing machines and wagons
and took to organizing movements
against the capitalists.
How well she succeeded in stemming
the influence Of the money power, in
discoura ging the enterprise of corpor-
atoms. and in driving investors from
her borders are matters of history. Nor
did she give evidence Of awakening
from her illusions until the man
with-the foreclosure came along Then
she became aroused, and started a
movement that really moved things.
This was the movement away from the
county seat and cross roads groceries
and meeting halls to the fertile fields
that were awaiting the magic touch
Of honest and practical industry.
Four years of thinking and working
in the fields have raised Kansas from a
low to a high place among the great
commonwealth Of the nation Faithful
husbandry has been rewarded a hun
aredfold. All obstacles have disap-
peared from the path Of the men who
were driven by dire necessity to aban-
don theory and return to practice TheS
began with the hope of saving theil
farms from foreclosure. Today they
have money to lend. They are indie
