Commissioner Richards to do so.
A bread famine IS imminent along the
border, too. and orders for 10, 900 loaves
of bread daily have reached here from
FL Reno, while the two packing houses
here are unable to supply the number
of orders for boiled ham and bologna.
Fifty barkeepers left here today to take
positions in Ell Reno and other border
towns during the rush. They are all
experts and will be paid 5000 per month.
The saloons were open here Sunday
only at the back door and there was no
gambling The only noise on the streets
was made by the lemonade and lunch

and everybody was quiet and orderly.
All the churches were crowded both

just in time to save his train from

held here until this morning. An extra
train was sent out from Emporia to
Kansas City over the cutoff carrying
the mail and passengers of the delayed
passenger trains Nos. 116 and S. A NUNS
SengerS were also laid out and did not
get through until this morning
The fire which caused the destruction
of the bridge il supposed to have orig
mated from a spark dropped by a pass
ing engine. It is considered fortuna te
that it burned early in the evening, for
it was located at the top of a steep
grade and on curve which would have
made it impossible for the engineers on
the night trains to discover it until too
late to avert a bad wreck It will prob
ably be replaced by a steel structure.

Rain FELL TODAY.
Slight Shower Passes Over the

There Was Also a Light Rain
fall at Oakland.
CONDITIONS CHANGED.
Atmospheric Conditions Unset
tied and Encouraging.
TOrrid Sunday Followed by a
Hot Night.

There was rain in Topeka this NOM
ing at 11:57 o'clock. The drops were
small and few and not enough water
fell to even change the color of the
walks and pavement The rain was
confined to the part of town west OF
Madison street. The rain was notice
able on Kansas avenue but not in the
eastern part Of town. In the southern
portions the shower assumed definite
proportions.

menced to gather but they amounted
to nothing. Today's clouds are not
recognized by the government. Todays
forecast is generally fair and contin-
ued warm tonight and Tuesday"

announcement that there was a rain
east of Topeka at $3.50 this morning.
when the thunder was heard. The OBJ
server saw the rain from the roof OF
the Columbian building. The shower
was felt in Oakland but was not enough
to lay the dust.
While Topeka may be lucky enough
to get a small thunder storm 1t VIII be
only local and the relief Will be short
with probably depressing after effects
Observer Jennings has the following 10
say about the present conditions; "lhe
air shows that the dry condition IS
gone. The forecast sent out today COW
ers the entire state. Our local condi-
tions are more favorable than the fore
cast would indicate but we are a small
part of Kansas. There was a little
shower east of town this morning about
$3.50 o'clock. / think 1t was about
mile wide and lasted Tor a few minutes.
If we get rain 1t VIII be a local thunder
storm and will not break up this heated
spell but give only temporary relief.
The conditions of the atmosphere have
been changing which gives us these
clouds. For several days we could only
get a few white caps and some days
none. The humidity today is apprecia-
BILE so that as far as relief goes the
slightly lower temperature may not
make the weather any more bearable.

Girl KILLED.
Rejected Suitor Shoots Her to
Death on Lonely Road.
Murderer Then Commits Suicide
on the Spot.

Newton, Kan, July 15.-Newton was
Saturday night the scene of a shocking
tragedy. Miss Oma Beers. the beautiful
Is year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Beers, of this city, was shot and
killed by Herbert Shacklett, a rejected
suitor, who then killed himself.
Miss Beers lived with her parents
about a mile west of the city. She came
in town Saturday night and attended a
show, which was being held on the
street, starting home alone in a buggy
about 10 O'Clock. As she failed to arrive
home at the proper time, her mother
became alarmed and notified the police.
Searching parties were at once organiz-
ed and the dead bodies Of the young girl
and the murderer were found about
three miles west Of the city.
-Four bullets had been fired into the
body Of the girl, three of them taking
effect in the head and one in the ahdo-
men. Shacklett ended his life with one
bullet, which penetrated the heart He

a few weeks as a groom, but had re-
signed his position. 1t is said that he
had become fascinated with the girl,
but that she had rejected all his atten-
tions-
From evidence introduced at the in
quest Sunday, it appears that a terri
BILE struggle took place between the gi-l
and her slayer before the crime was
committed.
Shacklett was about 1S years old
Frank Beers, father of the murdered
girl, is a conductor, running between
Newton and Purcell, on the Santa Fe.

CORN NOT RUINED
Secretary Wilson Takes Hope
full View of Situation.
Believes Reports of Damage
Are Exaggerated.
CONDITION ON JULY 1
Was More Promising Than at
Same Date Last Year.
Hot Weather Is Not Damaging
at This Season.

New York, July 15.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson hopes that the corn
crop of the western states has not yet
been ruined by the drouth, says a
Washington dispatch to the Herald.
He is disposed to believe that the re-
ports as to the damage have been ex-
aggerated- He is quoted as follows:
L do not regard the corn crop as Sc
riously damaged Notwithstanding the
reports from the western states. On
was more promising than on the same
date last year, and even if the press
reports are not exaggerated. although
am inclined to think that they over
state the real conditions, there is not,
as yet, cause for genuine alarm.
Throughout the area of the great
corn crop the drouth has not been Sc
we're enough to seriously affect that
crop. Hot weather is not damaging
to corn at this season. In fact. high
ten perature at this season is one of
the requisites of corn development, and
so 1 think that we had better wait a
while before we say that the corn crop
is ruined.
For myself, I think that we shall
have plenty of corn in this country.
The reports from Kansas and Ne
braSka are of course diScOura ging, but
the crop in those states is not great,
except in the eastern portions. The
great corn belt of this country is east
of the Missouri and west of the Ohio.
I have not yet seen anything to in
dicate that there has been a large
amount of damage in this area of coun-
try. / am going to wait, therefore, IN
til hear whether the drouth has been
disastrous in Iowa, Illinois. Missouri,
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin be-
fore I become really alarmed"

ANOTHER ICE PLANT
N. B. Bridges Is Planning to
Construct One.

N. B. Bridges has under consideration
the construction of an ice manufactur-
ing plant with a capacity of rs tons a
day.
Mr.. Bridges is chief clerk in the Office
of the state labor commissioners. He
claims that he has interested parties in
the enterprise and that they have suffi-
cient money to carry out the project if
it is thought to be a. good business
proposition. Mr.. Bridges says that
nothing definite has been decided but
that If the plant is built it will not be
in the ice trust and that it will be a
strong competitor of the combine. A
plant of rs tons a day capacity as pro-
posed would be as large as any plant
now in Topeka
