DIED FROM HEAT.
Prominent Kansan Expires Sud
denly Near. LeavenwOrth.

I.eavenworth, Kas.. July 15.-O1iver s.
Hiatt. a Kansas politician, died of the
heat at his farm at Paramount last
night. When the news of his death
came to the city this morning It caused
great surprise as Mr.. Hiatt had spent
Saturday in town. He was in Lansing
last night to take his daughter home
He was badly effected by the heat in
making the FIVE mile drive to his home.
He was 66 years old.
He was in politics for many years,
attending state and congressional con-
ventions. Shortly after coming west he
was a school teacher among the Indians
in Kansas and the Indian Territory. He
was county commissioner Of Leaven-
worth county for two terms, county
auditor two terms and served two
terms as director of the Kansas peni-
Tertiary under the contract system

The Hot Weather Has Not Eradicated
the Disease.

Even the present torrid weather has
fa1ied to entirely check the spread q
smallpox. There are now two cases of the
disease in the pesth0use, four more quar-
antined outside of the besthouse and one
person IN quarantine who was exposed To
the disease and who is likely to come
down at any time
The fact that the hot wea fner has failed
to conquer the disease BODIES no good for
the conditions which are likely to pre-
vail as soon as cold weather sets in again
The extraordinary efforts which the
board OF health is making to clean up the
town are evidently justified
The board is making a systematic clean
ing of the city, every sanitary officer be-
ing required to patrol his ward and sub
each month. In addition the officers must
attend the weekly meetings of the board
and give a verbal report.
The. result of this work has been the
accumulation of over 800 orders at the
crematory for cleaning vaults. These or
ders are being turned in at the rate Of
50 day and the crematOry is running
extra time to catch up with the back
work.

ADVANCE OF THE TROLLEY
