The temperatures throughout the state
ranged from 100 to 10S. On account
of the dryness Of the atmosphere few
prostrations were, reported, but the
damage to crops and fruit was wide
spread.
Corn has been seriously damaged,
though there Is yet some hope for the
late product. Early corn will not
yield anything. Late corn shrivels up
during the day, but at night unfolds
again. The farmers are cultivating it

crop Of late corn.
The splendid fruit prospects Of early
shippers are entirely blighted. Ber-

Apples, peach and pear trees, laden
with half grown fruit, are shriveling
up and drying in the fierce heat.
There is widespread depression
throughout the state because of the
drouth, which is the worst expert

better prepared to endure the con-

withdrew and came back to the city.
The Columbia and Independence

they rounded with Columbia about a
mile in the lead. The wind, however.
died down almost to calm and the
leading boat could not finish in the

called Off. At the time the Constttu-
