DRAIrGHT In KANSAS

Topeka, (Kan),o July S.-Kansas
farmers will lose 800, 000, 900 because of
the drought which during the last three
months has almost ruined the corn crop
destroyed all hope for oats and seri-
ously damaged fruit, hay and vege-
tables. Heat and lack of moisture have
caused greater injury to vegetation
than was ever before known in the
State. Since the middle of April there
has not been a general rain in Kansas.
Local showers have fallen in sections
of the State, and in these localities the
prospects warrant an estimate of one
third of the normal corn yield In two
thirds of the State corn is a total fail
use. Some of ii may be cut up for for
age but there will be no ears on the
stalks. Oats have been burned up in
the fields, and there will not be enough
hay for local feeding needs. Pastures
are brown, fruit has been blighted and
all kinds of vegetables have been with
cred by the terrific heat. The normal
corn crop of the State is 100000, 900
bushels. At this time It does not seem
possible that the farmers can harvest
$4,000, 600 bushels. The harvest of wheat
is about completed. A yield of about
7O,O0O,O0O bushels is expected.
GREAT BEND, (Kan), July s.
Fifteen thousand acres of wheat went
up in flames here this afternoon. The
fire was started by an unknown man
throwing a lighted cigar into a field of
wheat stubble. Everything was as
dry as finder and soon a destructive fire
was in progress. The inhabitants all
left their work and exhausted all the
methods they knew for fighting fire, but
to no avail and it was late this even
ing before the fire was under control.
Roughly estimated, the loss in wheat
will aggregate 100000 bushels most of
which was in stack.

TO FINISH Up THE WORK
HOUSES CLERK is ALLOWED
$3.50.
A Cheerful Morning Session With a
Funny Story from Dickey and Even
Emmeluth in Joking Mood.

The House began preparations for
final adjournment early yesterday
morning. The session was a cheerful
one, with all the members in very good
humor and nothing to be done but the
| fixing off clerk Meheula's compensation
for finishing up the work after adjourn
ment. Dickey told a funerealy funny
story, even Emmeluth dropped his Sc
| robustness and gave up his treasury
| Watchdog stunt long enough to move
that the clerk be given ''all the money
| left" and some of The other members
pondered over the right kind of a
| rough house" with which to end the
session next Thursday.
| Kekaula moved ,fat Meheula he
given 80 days to finish up. Meheua's
salary is $12 per day, and some Of the
members objected. Dickey wanted to
make it ten days, but was voted down
and then Hoogs proposed twenty and
was sustained.
| Meheula came to his own rescue. He
said he had made a contract to have the
House journal printed within 20 days
after adjournment, and he would have
to do the distributing of copies after
that.
Dicley got reconsideration and pro-
posed fifteen days pay, leaving it to
Meheula to do the fit zen days NoiI;
when he pleased. A running fire eft
amendments and proposals oc all kinds
! followed. Emmeluth said there was a
certain sum set aside for the House,
and he proposed that the clerk take all
that was left, while Hoogs suggested
forty days and then moved to adjourn
Keliikoa moved to adjourn and prompt
ly did so by leaving the House.
1t was at this stage that Dickey' S
funny story was begun. 1t produced
an air of profound depression and some
of the members did not understand it
Dickey's explanations We're drowned in
raps from Akinas gavel and shouts
from members who did not propose to
suffer any longer. and Dickey sat down
Prendergast got the floor to propose
appointment of a committee to notify
the governor that the House was pau
hanahana, and Akina named Emme-
luth, Aylett and Prendergast. Emme-
luth declined and Kumulae was substi-
tuted.
A motion to adjourn was carried and
the members, many of whom had spent
a large part of the morning in packing
up, left the hall A flying waste-basket
followed Monsarrat through the door
while the committee appointed to see
the governor went to his office and had
a heart to heart talk on the subject OF
extending the session after Thursday
