yERITABLE HOT BLAST.
Southwest Literally ScOrched-1O6 mt
the Two Kansas Citys.

KANSAS CITY, July ga veritable hot
blast literally scorched the Southwest to-
day, breaking all heat records I'm the his
tory of the local Weather Bureau. Yester-
day Kansas City experienced the hottest
weather ever known here. the government
thermometer registering 104 and remaining
above the 100 mark for seven consecutive
hours. T~wenty-four prostrations and nine
deaths resulted. To-day at $3.50 o'clock the
bureau thermometer, at the highest point in
the city, showed 1O5 degrees, while Their
mometers in the business district on the
streets reached as high as lbs. The Their
mometer at S 4. m. registered 80, was 101 at
noon. and at 3 p. IN. broke the record at
1O46. Hardly a breath of air stirred. The
suffering was intense. especially among
persons compelled TO work outdoors and the
poor districts in the bottoms. Eleven deaths
from prostration were reported during the
day In Kansas City, Mo, and Kansas City,
Kan and over thirty persons overcome by
heat were treated. This makes the total
dead for the two days sixteen. Most of
the victims were elderly people. To-day is
the thirty-second in succession in which the
temperature has averaged above 90, and the
fifth In that time that the thermometer has
gone above 100.
Farmers are still rushing their live stock
to market because OF the scarcity of water
To-day the local receipts of cattle were the
heaviest on record, amounting TO 25.J00
head. There wGs also a big advance In the
price of grain, attributable to the heat, Sep
TENDER corn rising almost 4 cents TO 605sc,
and September wheat going up AZ cents to
6Slzc. Single carloads of corn sold as high
as 63c a bushel to go back TO the country.
There were liberal receipts. Heavy showers
fell this evening i'm southwest Missouri
in the vicinity of the Joplin mining district,
and in southeastern Kansas around Fort
Scott. There was a thunderstorm here late
tonight. but the rainfall was light.

being reached at one town. Governor Saw
age, at the behest of many ministers and
others, has designated next Friday as a
day 10 be devoted to prayer for rain. Two
deaths from heat occurred in Lincoln.
Grainmen concur in the opinion that half
a crop of corn is the best Nebraska can
expect. and rain must come at once to in
sure even that much.

the official government thermometer at
the Office of the local weather bureau
reached los degrees at $50 this afternoon.
and remained there for about an hour.
Fortunately. the humidity registered only

ing the day was a comparatively small.
Later IN the afternoon the humidity in
creased. and the heat early in the even
ing was again becoming exceedingly OPP
presstve. when 4 local thunder shower
cooled of the atmosphere 10 some extent.
The highest previous record was July 10,
1881. when the mercury reached 1914 degrees.

Reports from the surrounding country
show similar conditions have prevailed.
The heat records were broken at Paducah.
Frankfort and Maysville. Ky. At Paducah
the thermometer registered III. at Frank

heat is doing great damage to crops in
these vicinities.
The thunderstorm. which brought relief
here early this evening passed across the
river and assumed tornado like proportions.
Fences. trees. barns and outbuildings from
Newport east to Fort Thomas and south
into the State for a considerable distance
were leveled. The frame house of John
Schrader. near Fort Thomas. was over
turned and his wife and hfteen-year-old
daughter were seriously injured. Schrader

PREVIOUS RECORDS SMASHED.
Weather Bureaus Review of Condi-
tions Throughout the Country.

WASHINGTON. July Zone hundred
degree temperatures were common through
out the great corn belt to-day, according to
reports to the Weather Bureau here. In
various places in Illinois. Iowa and other
States, all previous heat records were
smashed. There appears to be no prospect
of decided relief from those exhausting
conditions for the next two days at least,
except such as may come from the always
present possibility of scattered thunder
storms which are predicted for some por-
tons of the superheated area. To-day dry
thunderstOrms. un-accompanied by rain,
prevailed in several sections of the West
hundreds of miles apart. They temporarily
cooled the atmosphere but brought no relief
to the furnishing crops. Absolutely M rain
fell In the corn belt according to the official
reports received here. In western Iowa it
was a trihe cooler to-day, while in the CEN
trail portion OF the State ii was warmer.
There is a little belt of high pressure over
the great lakes and another over the
south Atlantic coast line. but ii offers no
the continued low pressure remains in the
Northwest. The warm weather again was
general throughout the entire country, eX-
cept on the Pacific coast.
In the East the temperature, while high,
did not approach anywhere the extremes
prevailing in the West. and a recurrence of
the hot wave of two weeks ago is believed
TO be unlikely in the Atlantic coast region.
Thunderstorms have continued from the
south Atlantic coast westward into Arizona
and a continuation of them is predicted for
the South and Southwest.

the most oppressive of the year. Most of
the active work was stopped for the day.
From numerous places in Kansas come
reports tonight of intense heat and much
resulting damage. Slight showers fell this
evening in the region about POttawatomie
county. and some in Greenwood county.
Lyon county had a good rain. The larger
part of the State, however, is still parched
bv the terrible heat. Like breaths from
a furnace the hot air swept across the
Kansas farms to-day, more completely
Dlighting the scared corn and other suffer-
ing vegetation. In some parts of the State
the temperature was as high as 100, with
considerable humidity. The most hopeful
estimate of the probable corn yield has
fallen from half a crop to a quarter OF a
crop. Many counties report a total loss.
