EXCESSIVE HEAT FARTHER
NORTH.

Omaha, Neb., July photographic
reports from various portions of Ne
braska Indicate that the hopes of a
big corn crop have been blighted and
spring wheat and range grass districts
are materially damaged. Oats will
be almost complete failure. The
central and eastern sections OF the
State have Jared better than the wes-
tern half. but thew also are suffering
from the excessive heat.
In the southern part the wheat har-
vest is practically over, and thrashing
has begun. The yield is not up to the
average. Oats are almost failure.
Fruit has been completely ruined in
many counties by the hot winds. In
the northeastern counties, reports In
dictate bountiful crops of wheat. corn
and hay. Corn is in the best possible
condition.
In the central part OF the State small
grain is withstanding the drought
Corn is suffering, but not severely as
yet. The cattle on the ranges are in
excellent condition.
In the extreme western part OF the
State the lack of rain has practically
ruined wheat and oats. The ranges
are, however, in better condition
than for years, but need rain soon
to keep them green. The first crop
of alfalfa is generally reported OF
excellent quality.
In the lsouth western part OF the
state the chinch bug and grasshopper
have done much damage.

Martinsburg and Berkeley county
seem to be the center of fierce electri-
cal storms. Another severe storm
which equaled the one which passed
over the county several weeks AFRO.
visited us again last THURSDAY. Frum
6;l5 to I 80 there was tremendous
downpour, heavy wind and thunder
and flashes of lightning closely fol-
lowing one another. In an hours time
|. 20 inches OF rain fell.
4 Martinsburg appeared to he the CEN
ter for the vicious looking clouds
which lowered overhead and passed
around The heat had been intense
during the day, the mercury In the
Government thermometer in the after
noon creeping up to 90. About six
o'clock IN the evening fierce looking
black clouds gathered and there was
the proverbial calm before the storm.
Soon the thunder began to roll and
the lightning flashes appeared to tie
lighting duels with each other. The
clouds came up from the northern and
southernsends Of the con ntv and an
nsared to meet and burst directly over
the city.
Lightning struck in various pIaces
over the city and county. AT the
residence Of Mr.. David Kilmer on
West John street it struck branch III
q walnut tree and then ran down over
the trunk of the tree into the garden,
burning off the tops of all the beans
in the garden. The bolt was then
seen TO pass ont over the clothes line
Another volt made two large holes IN
the ground, as IL two large stones had
been shot into the ground. Mr..
Kilmer thinks that two stones drop
ped down ont of the clouds into the
ground and he started to dig for one
Of them TODAY. So far as he has dug
he has not found the bottom OF the
holes and he is sill under the hallucf-
nation that some kind Of strangc
stones are at the bottom OF them.
Lightning ran down oil the tele-
phone line in front of deputy Sheriff
Catrow's place, five miles west of
town and struck "a tree to which
wire supporting the pole was attached
Lightning struck IN electric wire On
w. KING street and burned ont thu

The electric light pole at the corner
of John and College streets was struck

ABOUT THE CROPS
The Berkeley County Corn and
Wheat Crops.
GREAT DR0uTH IN THE WEST
Makes Prospects for Berkeley County Corn
Raisers Bright--Wheat Crop Below
she Average.

So far as the corn crop is concerned
bright future is In store for the
farmers OF Berkeley county this sea-
son. The crop Of corn in the county
will be unusually large and this, with
the poor crops in the great corn grow
ing sections of the west. make the
future bright for the Berkeley county
farmers who have raised corn.
AS to the wheat crop the conditions
are reversed. The corn crop is very
poor in the great corn growing state
of Kansas, while the wheat crop is
unusually good. In this county it is
jsut the opposite, On the rich lime
stone land of the county the crop is
considerably below tho average, which
is caused by the continued wet weath-
er at the time the wheat was
blooming, most all of it developing
into straw. without the usual amount
of grain. On the slate land IN the
county. however, the crop is above the
average. exceeding the crops on the
richer limestone land.
The following dispatches from the
West give distressing reports OF the
corn crop in that great growing belt.
Kansas City, Mo-, July IL. No rain
fell today in any part of the drought
stricken district including all OF Kan
sas, Western Missouri. Oklahoma, and
Indian Territory. Over much of this
region this was the worst day OF the
long hot spell, the temperature being
more than 100 degrees and no breeze
stirring. Corn, oats, hay, and pota-
toes are so badly injured that even
with rain the yield will be short and
as the Weather Bureau gives no hope
of relief, the outlook is discouraging.
AT some places in Kansas there has
been no rainfall whatever for nearly
three months. The present is the
worst drought since 1860, when New
England sent food to the settlers of
Kansas. However, Kansas farmers
are harvesting one of the largest crops
of wheat in the history of the State.
A great many counties send word
that with rain corn will be halt a
crop without rain soon, no yield. A
few say there is yet hope for fair
harvest.
Hay sold this morning for $50 ton
II cent a pound-the highest price
ever reached in this market. This is
almost as much, pound for pound, as
wheat is worth. Receipts were very
small.
In numerous places there is no pas
ture and owners of cattle are ship
ping hay to their farms. Alfalfa has
yielded well everywhere and will be
the salvation of many farmers.
Crop reports from all parts of the
State indicate that Kansas can not
raise more than 80, 600, 600 bushels of
corn this year. or less than a third of
last years yield, and less than a fifth
of that of 1899. Secretary Coburn, OF
the State board of Agriculture, admits
that the crop is practically failure.
Wheat is nearly all in the stack. In
many cases it has been harvested only
to be burned. Leaves are falling like
late in the summer. Half grown fruit
is shrivellng and dropping from the
trees.

diverted the food from its proper chan
mel, but caused him infinite pain.
Lord Byron, who was otherwise q
magnificent specimen Of man, had a
club foot, of which he was anything
but proud. II, however, it detracted
from his appearance and hindered loco
motion, it did not hamper his genius.
Byron was possessed of a morbid fear
of going out of his mind.
Insanity Not Uncommon.
Indeed, all poets are said to be more
or less mad. Cowper was certainly
subject to fits of lunacy, as was like
wise Chatterton, who killed himself in
a fit OF arrangement The same is true
of Rousseau, Cervantes, Southey and
Swift.
Alexander Pope was hunchback,
with very caustic tongue, which once
resulted in his being as good as told
that he was "a crooked little thing that
asks impudent questions"
Throughout his life Sir Walter Scott
could only walk with limp. AS a boy
he was afflicted with paralysis, which
left him ermanently lame.
The late James Payn, the novelist
was extremely deaf in which respect
he resembled Edison, the world re-
nowned electrician and inventor.
Milton was totally blind when he
produced the masterpiece of his mar
velous genius. From his youth up he
suffered extremely from govt, which
was the primary cause of the loss of
his eyesight
As anybody could gather from his
works, Thomas Carlyle was a chronic
dyspeptic. A state of irritation appears
to have been his normal condition, and
although in the absence of this pc
culiar ailment he might have been a
far more amiable being, his writings
would certainly have lost some of their
most prominent characteristics.

A Princess of Hawaii.

THAT the former royal family of
Hawaii had supernatural powers is
still firmly believed by a very large
number of the natives of those ISL
ands," says Chief Examiner Server of
the Civil Service commission. when
Commissioner Rodenberg and myself
visited the city of Hilo, while we were
on the islands recently, we were told
the story of the rescue of that city
from destruction by volcano by
Princess Emma of the Hawaiian roy
atty The story was told us by the
judge Of the city and vouched for by
half a dozen Americans who claimed
to know personally.
THE volcano which was doing the
damage is some 80 miles from the city.
1t began active operations, and the
stream OF lava which flowed from it
started straight for the city of Hilo,
covering an area about half mile
wide. The flow of lava was slow, as
it gained only small distance each
day. 1t presented solid wall of red
hot stone six or eight feet high, and
remains to corroborate the story.
LAS the lava approached the city the
natives became much alarmed and
We're on the verge of panic, when a
message came from Princess Emma.

The Iron Ore Industry.

The first shipment of iron ore from
the Lake Superior region was made in
1850, but it was not until 1860 that the
shipments of Lake Superior ore annu-
ally exceeded 100000 tons. Neither
Connellsville coke nor any other coke
exerted an appreciate influence upon
the manufacture of pig iron in this
country until after 1850. These dates
show how late in the last century we
began to utilize the raw materials that
now have worldwide reputation.
