consumed with an entire absence of smell and

Of steam and oil, refuse, and the vapor Of these

brick, upon striking which the combined steam,
by means OF the intense heat. is divided into
oxygen and hydrogen, and these combining with

Victims of the Heat.
A SOURCE OF HOPE YET.
KafRr Corn and Alfalfa May Save the
 Situation.

Topeka, Kas., July 15.-F. D. Cuburn, secretary of the state board of agri- culture, does not share in the general opinion of the ruin that will come up- on Kansas as a result of the present dry spell. The damage to hay and corn has been serious, but the defi- ciency will be nearly made up by the great crops of kaffir corn and alfalfa that have been raised.
 MT. Coburn states that there are over 900,000 acres of kaffir corn and all falfa in the state, which has not been materially affected by the dry weather. In addition to this, there are 10000, ,000 bushels of old corn in the hands of farmers. This of itself is nearly a fourth of the average crop. The farm CT who has stored his corn for the last two years will not be seriously crip- pied.

Our Inconsruous Tarir Laws.

If the national tariff law was drawn up for the sole purpose of raising revenue for the government and was based, like other forms of taxation, without discrimination for or against industries or individuals, there would be comparatively no complaint. As it is we have a tariff the iron schedules of which are made in the interest of but half dozen individuals. With the pro,ection thus afforded these men held up the prices of iron goods to Anne cican citizens in the United States, while the benefit of low prices is given to those abroad. Thus we see law having for its osteRsible object the upbuilding of American citizens con verted into an agency to squeeze their pockets and resulting in the benefit of lower prices to the man living in France, in England, in Africa or all most anywhere so that he is not an American citizen.-Atlanta Constitu- ton.

PRESS COMMENTS.

The new republican platform is rather long for party that professes to be running on the simple issue of McKinleyism.-Cin Enquirer.
 There may be no danger from imperialism, but ex-Secretary Foster thinks that Hanna is a pretty good imitation of an emperor.-Indianap lis News Qnd.).
 -Mr. Hanna's fine work in the Ohio state convention may be taken as an indication that he expects the Buckeye state to furnish the next. president, regardless of Mir. McKihz ley's declination.-Om World-Her- aid.
 If Senator Hanna can organize a machine in few more states which will do his bidding as unquestionably as does the Ohio machine, he can either be the republican nominee for president in 1904 or select the gentle man upon when that honor shall fall. Peoria Transcript.
 The formation of trusts al- ways results in cheapening the prod- uct, as we have been so often assured by the trust magnates. Nevertheless, it may be well to note the fact that the price of linseed oil has been con- stantly on the jump since the Linseed Oil company was bought by the Stand ard Oil people.-Hartford Times.
 There are significant signs that the republican party is being divided by discord That party is likely to be seriously disrupted in congress next winter over the tariff question, and who shall say that that party, which arrogates to itself all the virtues, and is insolent in it's assumption of uni paralleled powers, may not go tQ. pieces before 1904 through interneciae nnarrels.-Syracuse Telegram.

MAS RELIEVED BY RAIN
A Portion of the Drought-Stricken Section of the Country Par
 tially Relieved.
BENEFIT HAS RESULTED TO THE CROPS.
The Rains Covered Southwestern Mis- souri and Portions of Southeastern Kansas to the Oklahoma Line-A Jubilee in the Streets of CoffeyvilIe, Kansas.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 1o.-A por- tion of the drought-stricken south west has been relieved by rain during the past 24 hours. Great good has al- ready resulted to crops, and, as there are prospects of further downfall, it is believed thousands upon thou sands of dollars will be saved farmers on stock and crops. Nevertheless much greater. quantity of rain must come before lasting benefit is done. In the portions of central and vest ern Missouri, western Kansas and the territories still untouched by rain con- ditions remain unchanged, the tenn perature ranging from 9S to 106, the latter at Hutchinson, Kas.
 Where the Rains Fell.
 The rains, which come at the end of a drought of from fourto eight weeks duration, covered southwestern Mis- souri and portions of one-third of Kansas, taking in the southeastern corner of the Sunf1ower state from Riley and Dickinson counties down to the Oklahoma line. The first break came Sunday night, when fairly good rains fell in Barton and Green coun- ties, Mo-, and on the Oklahoma bor- der in Kansas in Cowley and Chautau- qua counties, and along the Union Pa cific road in Riley county.
 Not Yet Sufficient.
 These rains, while good, were not sufficient to place the burned crops out of danger. Monday morning heavy rain fell in the vicinity of Jop- lin, Mo-, and travelling west covered portions of Montgomery, Butler and Sedgwick counties, Kas. Around Jop- Yin there was heavy fall for ten min utes. At 1:30 a soaking rain fell in Cherokee county across the line in Kansas, preceded by hail, beneftting pastures and small grains immensely and bringing relief to the crushing plants in the zinc mining district. During Monday afternoon heavy rain fell in the vicinity of Coffeyville, Eldorado and Wichita, Kas.
 A Jubilee in the Streets.
 At Coffeyville the people held jubi- ItS Ol lIlC SllCCtS uutlnS tuC IdIlls Two counties west from Kansas City and in Jefferson county, Kas., full inch of rain fell in the afternoon, while in Kansas City a temperature of 1o1 prevailed and hardly cloud was visible.
 Victims of the Heat.
 In Kansas City Mrs. Martha C. Null lett, wife of prominent business man, died of heat pros sration, and Edward B. Shillito, contracting agent for the Traders Dispatch fast freight line, was overcome and taken to his home in a critical condition. Near Leavenworth, Kas., on his farm, Sum day night, Oliver S. Hiatt, a we'll known Kansas politician, died from the effects of the heat.
