With fruits the outlook Is not so hope

be a very poor yield, and the outlook Is

Demand for canned goods has increased
in the territory west Of the Mississippi
River. and st. Louis wholesale grocers have
transacted an unprecedented business in
canned goods during the past fortnight.
Jobbers state that, notwithstanding the
unusual demand. prices range low and no

WELL-kNOWN THEATRICAL
MANAGER DIES SUDDENLY
Oliver L. Hagan Passes Away at

Oliver L. Hagan, once well-known the.
atrticaf manager. died yesterday of CASTRO
enteritis at his home. No. 3119 Laclede ave-
nue..
Mr.. Hagan had been III for more than
month. Yesterday morning he attempted
to leave his house. but had hardly left the
front door when he reeled and fell to the
ground Ho recovered sufficiently to return
to his bedroom. where he expired few
minutes later.
Mr.. Hagan was born In Cincinnati in 1858
and spent the early years of his life IN that
city. At an early age he evinced taste
for the theatrical business, and when still
quite a young man he was engaged as stage
doorkeeper by John Havlin at his theater
in Cincinnati. Later he became manager
of the score-card privileges at the Cincin-
natl baseball grounds.
In 1884 Mr.. Hagan came to st. Louis at
the instance Of Mr.. Havlin. the latter hav-
ing leased the old Pope's Theater, at Ninth
and Olive streets. He was manager of that
playhouse until 1t was torn down to give
place to the Century building. Later he

Numerous prostrations are reported, ana

No rains Of any consequence have fallen
in the State during the day. Central Kan
sas was the only place having even light
thunder showers. What rains fell yester-
day served only to temporarily reduce the
extremely dry condition of the atmosphere.
Tonight no relief is in sight. There were
some thunderstorms early in the evening,
but 1t looks now as II the threatened rain
has passed over again. as it has done q
dozen times within the past few weeks.
The financial part of the situation is lost
sight Of for the present. What Is being
thought of now is the extreme physical
discomfort resulting from the heat. the
alarming scarcity of drinking and stock
water. and the prospect Of much sickness
after the heated spell.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July M.-Why the weather
Is hot and why 1t stays 30 hot. are Ques-
lions which science refuses to answer. Pro-
lessor Garriott of the Weather Bureau said
to-day that the States Of Missouri, Iowa.
Kansas and Nebraska are the heart Of the
heated area, which has extended in greater
or less degrees Of intensity from the Rocky
Mountains to the Alleghaniea
1.-THE most remarkable feature OF this
long SPELL" said Professor Garriott. 'is its
duration. Since June 20 there has not been
day in which the temperature in the
States named has not reached 80. and a
majority of the days 1t has gone up to 100
or more.
Tho End Cannot he Seen.
'There is nothing by which It can be ex-
planned, and there Is no way Of predicting
its end. All that weather forecasters can
do is to keep a sharp lookout for indica-
lions Of general atmospheric disturbance.
and II such Indications appear they can
perhaps predict the end of the hot spell
three or four days before the storm comes.
The local showers that have occurred In
those States have given little relief. They
have been Of short duration and the sun
has come out Just as hot, as soon AZ they
were over. It will take a general rainstorm
extending over very large area to break
the stagnation Of the atmosphere. which
causes the heat"
Last year a prolonged heated spell was
broken By the tropical storm. which tho
Weather Bureau first located in the Ca
ribbean Sea, and which took its course
through the Gulf Of Mexico, passed over
Galveston with dire result. and then turned
northward to the lakes and disappeared on
the North Atlantic coast.
While there Is no reason to predict an
other tropical storm. the Weather Bureau
officials are keeping a sharp eye on this
region constantly. The heated area has
grown so large and the stagnation has be-
come so general that 1t would seem to re-
quire disturbance such as can be created
only in the tropics to break 1t up.
No Material Change Noted.
There has been no material change in
the weather conditions during the past
twenty-four hours. The temperatures were
not unreasonable over the East and South
and the Lake Region, but in the central
valleys and West they continue alb
normally high without another rain ex-
cept few very light and scattered thunder
showers reported in Central Iowa. Western
Nebraska and Northwestern North Dakota
There were local showers in the West Gulf
States and on the Great Lakes except Lake
Huron and Lake Ontario.
The officials of the Weather Bureau hold
out no hope for immediate relief from the
drought and intense heat prevailing
throughout the Middle West.
