THE DROUrH IN THE WEST.
The Dry Heat Works Great Injury to All
Crops.
(By Associated Press.)

Kansas City. No., July 12.-No rain
fell today in any part Of the drouth-
stricken district, including all of Kan
sas, Western Missouri, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. Corn, oats, hay and
potatoes are so badly injured that even
with rain the yield will be short, and
as the weather EureeC gives no hope
of relief, the outlook is discoura2ing.
At some places in Kansas there has
been no rainfall whatever for nearly
three months
However, Kansas farmers are har-
VestiEg one of the largest crops on
wheat, if not the largest, in the history
of the State A great many counties
send word that with rain corn will be
half crop. without rain soon, no yield.
Hay sold thus morning for 500 ton,
one cent pound, the highest price
ever reached in the State This is al-
most rs much pound for pound as wheat
is worth. Receipts were very small.
Telegraphic reports from various
portions of Nebraska indicate that the
hopes of a big corn crop have been
blighted and spring wheat and range
grass districts are materially dam
aged. Oats will be almost a complete
failure.

shot and a cry of murder" from the
young man. They went to him and

Another story of the shooting is that
young Kermon some time ago deserted

upon which he had enlisted as sea-
man. and hearing of the arrest of a
fellow deserter in Wilmington, he hit
upon the plan of killing himself rather
than return aboard the vessel.

BILE falling off in attendance of members.
several of whom having no committee
meetings this afternoon or evening, and
knowing that the session would be short,
left for their homes to spend Sunday.
Delegate O'Flaherty. of Warren county,
Gold Democrat startled the convention
today by Offering the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
convention that the adoption of any pro-
vision whereby a privilege is given one
citizen over another n the matter of suf-
frage by reason of his, or his ancestors
military service is class legislation of the
most vicious kind, and in violation of the
principles of the Bill of Rights as pro-
mulgated to the world by Virginians more
than a century ago, wherein they declare
that no set of men are entitled to ex-
elusive privileges, and in violation of
both the letter and spirit of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which we,
as voters have sworn to defend, as well
as in violation the principles of equal
rights which are inherent in the body
polite, which we represent, and to which
we are amenable in the forum of politi-
cal ethics, and the specific application
of which test, without any exceptions, pro-
visoes or alternatives would actually dis
franchise some members of this body if
applied to them.
And we furthermore declare it objec-
tionable because it establishes a perma-
nent, hereditary governing class, which
is undemacratic and contrary to the spir-
it of a republican form of government
and because it is impracticable of admin
istration, unnecessary, unwise, and will
involve us in an 'untried realm of politi-
cal eXpediency.
