lists strike, which was organized May

ment and many more will do so Mon

siderable effect on the general strike,
az Cincinnati has been regarded as
the center Of the fighting, but reit-
Grated that there was no intention to
call off the general strike.

THE HEAT IN KANSAS
All Records for Thirty-Four Years
Broken Yesterday.
GREAT DAMAGE TO The CORN CROP.
Alfalfa Establlshes IT. Reputation ~ Dry
Weather Product = Twenty Th0usand
Acres Of Wheat Burned-E6ects
Of the Drought

Topeka, KAN, July l5.-Ail recOrc4
for heat in the "a years observations
kept by Chancellor Snow, Of the Uni
versity Of Kansas, were broken yes
terday, the mercury reaching maxi
mum average for the state of 1855
degrees. In Fort Scott the mercury
registered ITO degrees. The heat was
accompanied by a very light breeze
from the south which came as breaths
from a red-hot furnace, blasting and
whitening vegetation Of all kinds.
A careful perusal Of crop reports
from all parts Of the state indicate
that Kansas will not raise more than
50,OOO,OOO bushels OF corn this year.
The crop will thus be less than third
Of last years yield and less than q
9th of 1899. The late corn is all that
will yield anything, the early prod
uct being given up more than two
weeks ago. Late corn is just half as
high as it usually is by this time OF
year. This fact is proving its saliva
ton. II It had attained its growth
It would have gone soon after the
early corn. The fact that there has
been no good rain for three months
has retarded the late corn until 1t Is
no higher than 1t usually is in May.
Opinions and reports differ as to
the extent Of the damage to corn.
Secretary Coburn, Of the state board
Of agriculture, recognized author
lty, admits that the crop Is prac'
tically failure.
While corn has failed, alfalfa has
given an abundant yield. The condi-
lions have been very favorable for
alfalfa, and II has established its
reputation as o dry weather product.
Wheat is nearly all In the stack.
In many cases it has been harvested
only to be burned. As many as 10000
acres of wheat in the stack have been
burned during the last two weeks.
The fires start from the slightest
causes, so intensely dry is everything,
AID when they are once started there
Is no water on hand with which to
fight them.
Trees are showing the effects of the
drought. Leaves are falling like late
in the summer. Half grown fruit Is
shriveling, dying and dSpping from
the trees. A look at the yellow and
scared fields, dry grass, and trees
rapidly becoming bare, would almost
convince one he was gazing on an
autumn scene, were It not for the
vivid and intense heat.
Kansas is stricken with drought
worse than any since 1860 Queerly
enough, the usual order Of things has
been reversed this time, and the
western part Of the state, or short
grass country, is in much more
favorable condition than the hitherto
favored eastern part.

HOT AT WICHITA.


Wichita, Kan, July 1s.-Yesterday
was the hottest day Of the season in
southern Kansas, the temperature
registering as high as 1lS in the sun.
In the afternoon special prayer serv-
ices for rain were held at all of the
churches here. Two thousand people
crowded into the Roman Catholic
church to pray. Hundreds Of cattle
are reported to have died of the heat
md thirst in western Kansas. Several
train loads went through here yester-
day for market, there being no grass
or water for them on their ranges.

Enid, Oh, July 1j.-Four blocks VI
business houses on the public square
were destroyed by fire in less than
three hours time by fire that start
ed after midnight Saturday night.
The water supply was inadequate and
it was necessary to blow up buildings
with dynamite to check the flames.
Owing to the continued drought
everything burned like match wood.
A light wind blowing from the south
east saved the eastern part OF the
town. The total loss is estimated al
slightly over 100000. The insurance
will be light. The fire started Of
1902 in the two-story building near
the southeast corner Of the square
owned by John Benton and spread
quickly to the big Gensman Brothers
hardware house on the corner. Both
buildings with contents were soon
consumed. The fire then burned
south and then went east. II after
wards jumped across the street west.
The Armour Packing company's build
ing was destroyed and, following this
the entire south block Of the square,
consisting mainly Of frame buildings,
among which were the Montezuma no.

PEELED to blow up several buildings
with dynamite and in this manner

Army Mos say That ~ Kansas Gsnssals
spirit Of Daring WIN Lead film 70
Quit the Army.

Washington, July 15.-Army officers
who have just returned from Manila
say Gen. Frederick Funston will soon
resign his commission as brigadier
general. They predict that when the
Filipinos have adapted themselves to
the new conditions Of civil govern
ment Funston will retire from the
army and engage in business in the IL
lands. The report that the Kansan
would resign was thoroughly dis
cussed by officers at the war depart
ment Saturday, and while no one
seemed to have any direct informa-
ton concerning his intentions the
statement that he would leave the
army was generally accepted as true.
People in Washington who know
Funston say that he 10 not by nature
adapted to the routine and humdrum
Of q military post in times Of peace
and that his spirit Of daring and en-
terprise will lead him into other
fields. Officers who have returned
within the past few days say he did
not expect the promotion that result
ed from his capture Of Aguinaldo and
that when he was shown the cable
gram from the war department an
nouncing his appointment as briga-
dier general he expressed astonish-
ment that his exploit should have led
the president to accord him such rec
ognition. At that time, it is said, he
was making arrangements to get out
of the army to accept a proposition
of large business concern to repre-
sent it in the Philippines. The pro-
motion for the time being, Of course,
diverted his attention from such
plans. The offer is said to have been
renewed since, and, as it would bring
him a much larger salary than that OF
brigadier, it is understood he has
about decided to accept.
Army officers, especially the older
officers, are very favorably impressed
with Funston's report to the war de-
partment Of the capture of Aguin-
aldo. They regard the report as a
modest, straightforward and complete
statement of the facts connected with
that historic event. That part OF the
report in which he accords full recog-
milton to the important service OF
Lieut.. Taylor and other subordinate
officers called for much commenda-
ton from the officers.

opinion of correspondents in the

that a good general rain in the next
few days would mske half a crop, and
that Il the drought should continue
until August only a fourth OF crop
could be raised.

OUTLOOK BRIGHTER,
Rain rell In Kansas Yesterday and
Z Hopeful Air Prevails.
CROPS HELPED, DISTRESS RELIEVED


Topeka, Kan, July l6.-The out.
look In drought-stricken Kansas was
much more favorable last night.
Rain fell in the state yesterday and
: much cooler and more hopeful air
pervades. The air shows that the in
tensely dry condition is gone. A fore
csst sent out covering the entire state
says that rain may now be expected
il generous quantities. Crops have
been greatly helped, and distress has
been relieved. Southern and eastern
Kansas received the most benefit
from the rain yesterday. In no case
was 1t hard rain, but much good
resulted.
Cofieyville, Eldorado, Independence,
Valley Falls, Wellington, Wichita,
Wamego, Osksloosa, Manhattan and
Abilene reported good rains. In
Wellington the rain was accompanied
by a high wind, wrecking buildings
and inj1ripg some people. There the
rain was too late to rescue the corn,
but will be Of great help to pastures,
alfalfa and Kafir corn. In Valley
Falls half nm inch Of rain fell, &C.
companied by some hail. A heavy
rain yesterday morning extended
from Emporia to Ottawa. A rain Is
also reported from Lawrence The
showers that occurred in the vicln'
ity Of Arkansas City and between
Newton and Hutchinson are described
"a being too small to greatly benefit
the crops
Yesterday was the coolest in most
Of the state than for two weeks and
unless all indications fail the drought
In Kansas will soon be broken.
r. D. Coburn, secretary Of the state
board Of agriculture, does not share
in the general opinion Of the ruin
that will come upon Kansas as q re.
suit Of the dry spell. The damage to
hay and corn has been serious, but
the deficiency will be nearly made UP
by the great crops Of Kaftir corn and
alfalfa that have been raised. Mr.. Co
burn states that there are over 9Oo,'
900 acres Of KafIlr corn and alfalfa
in the state, which has not been ma
terially affected by the dry weather
In addition to this there are 100000
900 Bushels Of old corn In the hands Of
\ the farmers. This Of itself Is nearly
a fourth Of the average crop The
farmer Who has stored his corn fol
the last two years will not be seri'
