Marengo, July 27.-Republican pri-
maries were held in this city last
night and all three wards were car
ried by the Cummins supporters. Ma
rengo is entitled to twenty delegates
in the county convention. The result
is decisive and gives the county to
Cummins.
Last night Cummins carried Will
liamsburg, which is entitled to sixteen
delegates. He, also carried Lincoln
township, Pilot, Fillmore, Dayton. Vic,
tor and Green townships. In York and
Honey Creek townships he obtained
half the delegations. Seventy-one del,
egates are required to control the
county convention which will be held
today. There is no doubt the Cum
minis men will in control. The anti
Cumimns forces were supposedly the
strongest in the southern half of the
county. The results of the caucuses

CORN CROP SHORTAGE.
President Warren of Chicago Board of
Trade Talks.

Chicago, July 27.-President Warren
of the Chicago board of trade, speaking
of the corn, said:
| have reduced my estimate on the
total corn yield to 1,500,000,00O bush
els, or shortage of 600,000,00O, as
compared with last year. If we mark
eted crop of 2,10O,000,00O bushels
from last year between 40 cents and
so cents, it looks reasonable to expect
between SO cents and so cents for the
crop of 1,5O0,000000. l was talking to
the biggest farmer in northwest Iowa
yesterday. He left home a few days
ago feeling safe over his corn. Today
his foreman advised him that several
days of heat, 104 to 10S, had ruined
his crop. Kansas is practically out of
it. don't believe that state will yield

THINK PENlcK WAS MURDERED.
Iowa Bankers Brother Scouts the
Theory of Suicide.

Racine, Wis, July 29.-James Penick
brother of the Iowa banker who was
drowned from the Virginia, has arriv-
ed here to search for the body. He
scouts the idea of suicide and believes
it was an accident or murder. Many
here incline to the belief that per-
haps the man was tackled by pick
pocket; that the thief was discovered
and that in the struggle Penick went
overheard. The fact that Penick' S
pocketbook was found in the water
helps to support this theory. Mr. Pen
ick has increased the reward for the
recovery of the remains to $500. The
drawned man had an insurance of $10,-
600 on his life. and the brother is
getting evidence to be presented to the
insurance companies.

Ohio Convention.

Grand Rapids, July 29.-Since the
Ohio convention the assertion has been
recently been made that the Ohio
democracy is the first to break away
from Bryan and the Kansas City plat

exactly what the Michigan democracy
did four or five months ago in its con-
vention where not a word was spoken
concerning free silver. and only once
was the name of Mr.. Bryan mentioned.
The resolutions adopted were silent
as to the Kansas City and Chicago
platforms, contained no reference to
the peerless leader and omitted even
a kindly mention of the financial ques-
ton.

FOR YEARS OF INTENSE HEAT.
Garret Serviss, the Scientific Writer,
Makes an Unpleasant Prediction.

New York, July 27.-The Journal
and Advertiser prints an article upon
the hot weather by Garrett p. Serviss,
the scientific writer. The article, dat
ed at Ithaca, N. Y, says:
'The burning heat now affecting the
whole of the United States, and felt
also on the other side of the Atlantic
and generally throughout the northern
hemisphere, is convincing proof of the
fact, that the earth is the satellite of
variable star. Only on the assump-'
ton that the source of terrible heat
is directly in the sun, and due to an
extraordinary increase in it's effective
radiation can the widespread and long
continued nature of the present meter
illogical disaster be satisfactorily eX-
planned.
"All astronomers know that the face
OF the sun is blanketed with absorb
ing vapors, while its interior is much
hotter than the glowing shell that we
see. Strip off the vaporous blanket
entirely, and the surface of the earth
probably would burst into smoke and
flame in the instantaneous gush of un-
bearable heat that would be poured up
on it..
Whenever, as occurs periodically.
though not always to the same extent,
the solar vapors are thinned. the heat
from within leaps out through the
weakened shell and strikes the earth
and the other nearby planets as with
breath of fire from the suddenly op-
ened door of blazing furnace.
That is what happened this sum
mer, and the immediate agency that
has. flung open, the furnace doors and
sent forth the destroying blast is the
| mysterious power whose visible mani
festation Is the presence of the black
sun spots. But it is a mistake to sup
pose that the sun spot themselves ex-
ercie any direct influence upon the
weather, or that there must be spots
on the sun whenever, there is extraor-
dinary heat on the earth.
The spots are simply indicators of
the suns condition, resembling in that
respect the eruptions on the face of
smallpox patient. They tell the story
of the suns internal commissions, and
indicate some of the places on its sur
face where the pent-up forces are
bursting out.
The next four years these gigantic
bursts will increase in fury, and a
corresponding series of terrestrial sea-
sons marked by great eXcesses of tenn.
.perature, sudden contrasts and extra
I.ordinary cycloaic disturbances, will
I follow -
