HOT WEATHER IN KANSAS.
Corn Fast shrivsling Up Oats Crop Fall
ure and Hay scarce--S0me Of the
Temperatures.

Topeka, Kan., July 1o.-The hot
weather in Kansas continues with no
immediate chance OF relief. Corn
has withstood the ravages of the heat
until yesterday. Now 1T is fast
shriveling up and the prospect is
anything but pleasing to the farmers
The oats crop is worse than a fail
ure and hay is scarcer than for years.
In western Kansas the conditions
are better than in the eastern part,
this being directly opposite to the
usual state Of affairs. Some of the
central Kansas farmers are shipping
their stock to western Kansas so as
to take advantage of the superior
hay crop,
It is estimated that Kansas will
suffer crop losses from the protracted
heated spell to the extent of 100000
600. This figure will be even larger
If the heat continues few days long
err, as then there will be absolutely
no help for the corn.
Some of yesterdays temperatures
were as follows, Topeka, lO3; sa-
lima, 1902; Abilene. l07; Usage City,
1903: Lawrence, 1909; Fort Scott, 1OS;
Sedan, 1906; Hays City and Manhat-
tan, 1915.
Prospects for immediate rain have
been dispelled and II SECOND hot wave
Is upon Kansas.

But the board had found that the reason
county hospitals can be managed SO
cheaply was largely because they are
rot managed properly. If the care and
attention are given insane patients that
belong to them by right the county sys-

IN some cases the insane patients We're
not given decent treatment. They We're

has been declared. The stations are &C.
cupied by troops. There is general
