OUTLOOK is DlscouRAa.Na.

Drought Stricken Region.

No Rain, Nor Prospect of Any, in
Drought Stricken Region.
No rain fell Friday, July II 10 any part
d the drough stricken section, consisting
Ut all Kansas, western Missouri, Okla
noma and Indian Territory. Corn, oats,
nay n potatoes are Sc badly injured that
even with rain the yield would he short,
and as the weather bureau gives no hope
81 relief the outlook is discouraging.
AT some places in Kansas there has been
no rainfall for nearly three months. The
present is the worst drought since 1860,
when New England sent food to the set
tiers of Kansas.
However, the past few years have been
very prosperous ones, and ever now the
Kansas farmers are harvesting one of the
largest crops of wheat, if not the largest,
IN the history of the state. A great many
counties send word that with rain corn
will be half a crop; without rain soon, no
yield. A few say there is yet hope for a
fair harvest. Hay sold for $50 a ton, one
cent a pound, the highest price ever paid
in the Kansas City market.
July II was the hottest day ever experi-
enced in the southwestern part of Mis-
souri,. In Kansas City for four hours i'll
the afternoon the government thermometer
registered 10S, while the mercury on the
streets in the downtown districts scared to
lOS and ITO. Great suffering has resulted,
especially among the poor in the river bot
toms.

COFFEE IS 70 GO r e

Ruling Gives Foreign Shippers a
Chance to Avoid Duty.
Under a ruling of the treasury depart
ment coffee shipped from the United States
10 Porto Rico will be admitted into Porto
Rico free of duty as soon as free trade is
proclaimed between the United States and
that island. This in practice will result
likely in all coffee shipped into Porto Rico
from any country being admitted free of
duty. Although the Porto Rican tariff
provides for a duty of 8 cents a pound on
all coffee imported from a foreign country,
it is expected that coffee importers will
take advantage OF the fact that coffee is
admitted free into the United States and
ship their coffee into the United States and
thence to Porto Rico, thus avoiding the
duty which would be imposed if shipped
from a foreign country direct to Porto
Rico,

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Sioux Falls win Have a Factory for
Producing Powdered Milk. :.

Sioux Falls Will Have a Factory for
Producing Powdered Milk.
The first factory for the manufacture of
powdered milk in the northwest is to be
established in Sioux Falls byJ. K. Haugh-
ton, a local business man. The manufac-
ture of powdered milk has become quite
an industry in Germany, where it originate
ed, and where several factories are now
in operation. A number of years ago o
similar institution was started in the east
ern part of the United States. and has
proved very successful. Powdered milk,
Mr.. Haughton states, is not a new thing,
as it has been used on shipboard and for
army purposes for a number of years. The
new industry will mean a great deal to
the farmers of that part of the state. At
present after milk is taken to the cream
cries and the cream is extracted the skim
med milk is good only for feed for hogs
and cattle. When the business of making
powdered milk is in operation Haughton
will pay the farmers 50 cents per 100
pounds for the skinned milk, which will
practically add z cents to every pound of
butter sold by the farmers of that section.

CAVALRY HORSES.
Latest Acceptable Bid at Fort
Meade IL $1O7 Per Head.

1t is likely that the government will
award G. A. Martin of Sturgis the contract
for furnishing the 255 horses for the Thir.
tcenth Cavalry. His bid was for slO7 per
head. James Calm of Minnesota Transfer
bid several dollars lower, but the govern
ment would have to pay freight on the
horses, which would make 1t higher In the
end than that of the Sturgis man. The
horses are to be bays and roans as far as
possible and are to be delivered in forty
days. This contract is higher than the one
that has just been filed by about S. per
head. 1t was thought that the price Of
horses would go down a little,~ especially
since the government has ceased buying
horses for the Philippines. There are still
a great many native horses on the Black
Hills ranges that are suitable for cavalry
purposes and the price will be maintained
something above 500. in all probability,
for all of the cavalry contracts that are yet
to be let. II is expected that there will be
no trouble in getting the required number
for this contract in the specified time.

the occupants were badly shaken up, no
passengers were hurt. The engineer,
Frank Anderson, met death by being PIN

one person is thought to be buried under
the wreck.

SERIOUS SCARCITY OF HELP
Demand for Men and Women Much
Greater Than the Supply.

Demand for Men and WOmen Much
Greater Than the Supply.
Tho scarcity of hired help in all
branches of industry has become so great
in the vicinity of Hudson that the demand
for men and women has almost reached
the point of a panic. Everywhere n goes
people are clamoring for help and cannot
get it. The railroad company is unable to
get more than half the men it needs, and
in spite of the fact that it is now paying
higher wages than it has paid in fifteen
years men are leaving in squads to go in
the harvest fields. Many of the railroad
men who have been working at what was
considered good wages in former years are
quitting their places because they can get
from 80 cents 10 81 per day more on the
farm.
Hotels in some cases are not able to ac-
commodate their custom because they are
unable to procure help to do their work;
building projects are lying still for want
of hands to move them, and people in
every walk of life are unable to get much
needed help in their different lines of oc-
cupation. The situation is such that unless
help can be imported from somewhere be-
fore harvest, much grain is likely to be
lost for want of men to take care of it.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Mrs. Ida BONNIE Indicted for KILL

Mrs. Ida BONNIE Indicted for KILL
ing James s. Ayres.
The grand jury in Washington, after
several weeks of investigation, has re-
turned an indictment for murder against
Mrs. Ida Bonine for the alleged killing of
James S. Ayres, a young census clerk.
The killing of Ayres was Il ten day sensa-
ton in Washington. Young Ayrcs was
found dead in his room at his hotel and for
a week the crime was a deep mystery.
Mrs. Bonine then made a confession, adj
hitting that she had killed Ayres, but
claimed it was in self defense. She said
she had gone to Ayres' room with medi-
cine for him, andthat Ayrcs had attempted
to assault her. In the fight which fol-
lowed she claims she shot Ayres with his
own revolver. Ayres was a strong, we'll
developed young man, while Mrs. BONNIE
is a frail woman. This fact caused that
part of the story in which she claimed she
killed Ayres in self defense to be dis
credited. There is supposed to have
been another woman in the case.
