The Investigations on agricultural
soils which are being conducted in this
country are probably unsurpassed in
quality and extent by those of any
country, unless it be Russia, where a
very systematic and extensive line Of
Investigations, including a survey and
classification of the soils of the whole
country, has been in progress for a
number of years, says the Popular Sci.
ence Monthly. The work in this coun-
try has been carried on mainly by a
number of the agricultural expert
ment stations and the divisions of
soils of the national department of ag-
riculture. The report of the field op.
erations of the division of soils for
1899, by Prof. Milton Whitney and a
number of his assistants, lately is
sued, is a report of progress in survey
ing the soils of the United States. Dur
ing the year areas aggregating about
100000 acres were studied in the field
and mapped.

Clarinda, Ia, June 2S.--At the hour
when he was to have been married
and while the bride and her guests
were awaiting his appearance for that
event Thomas J. Rogers committed
suicide. During the day. Rogers ar
ranged for the minister to perform the
ceremony that was to unite him to
Miss Inez C. Plank. The wedding was
to have taken place at the home OF
the brides parents. About twenty Of
the friends Of the young couple, who
had been invited, assembled shortly
before o'clock the time set for the
wedding. As-the hour passed and the
groom did not come messenger was
sent to see what was the matter.
The joy of the nuptial party was
turned into grief and CONSERVATION
when half an hour later the announce
ment was made that Rogers had ia
ken his life. Instead of going to the
home of the bride the young man
had shut himself i'm his room and shot
himself. The bal! entered the skull
Just above the ear and passed back
through the head, but 1t was nearly
an hour after the shooting before life
was extinct. Rogers three years ago
inherited $12, 900 from his father. or
this he had spent all but $50. This
fact. it Is thought. weighed upon him,
although he had never shown signs of
being depressed.
The only incident indicating that he
contemplated suicide occurred an hour
before the shooting. Rogers asked his
sister Mrs. C. j. ,Hyfiin. with whom
he lived. to go to his wedding, but she,
being ill, told him she was not able to
do so. He then remarked that she
would be sorry. This sister, who was
was in an adjoining room, heard the
report of the revolver and went into
Rogers room to find her brother lying
In front of the piano clutching the
weapon in his hand. Rogers was born
and raised at ClearmOnt, Mo.

Pittsburg. July las result of the
refusal OF the representatives of the
American Steel Sheet company and the
American Steel Hoop company. sub
sidiary companies of the great United
States Steel corporation, to sign the
workers new scale at Saturdays con-
ference, circulars were sent out from
the national headquarters of the Anal
gamated Assertion of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers declaring strike at all
the plants of the two combines. The
great strike Is now on, but it Will be
several days before it's actual extent
Is known. AT the outset, however,
over $1,000 men are involved.
Result Hard 70 Forecast.
What the strike just inaugurated
may eventually lead to is problemati-
cal. Three months ago when a strike
occurred in the Wood plant of the
American Sheet steel company at Nc
Keesport. because the company refused
to allow its men to become members of
the Amalgamated association, Presi-
dent Shaffer threatened il the McKees-
port strikers could not win with their
own strength, he would order strike
in every plant Of the company. If the
latter would not yield he would then
call out the union men i'm every plant
of the United States Steel corporation.
Such a course would result I'm the big
gest strike the country has ever seen.
involving several hundred thousand
men. For the first few weeks the sit
uation will not show the strength of
the association. Almost all the plants
of the company, union and nOn-union,
will be compelled to shut down during
the early part of July to give the men
a rest. They have been working
steadily since the first of the year,
| many of them without weeks ces-
| sation.
Men Demand Vacations.
Union and non-uniOn alike, they are
| demanding a short vacation, and the
| prediction is made that the companies
will be unable to keep anyone at work
| for the next two or three weeks. The
heat is intense and the men, one vice
president said, are almost in state of
revolt. ,sso
1t will be after, perhaps. the first Of
August when the combine makes Sc
riOus attempt to start up I'm full, that
the real battle will begin ii no settle
ment has been reached at that time.
The companies cannot well delay oper-
ating longer than that, On ACCOUNT Of
the present floods of orders. In fact,
the urgent orders now on the books can
scarcely wait through July. Thus the
association has almost month more
/ to prepare for the coming struggle. 1t
Is the boast of the Amalgamated asso-
citation officials that by that time they
, will control 80 per cent of the capac-
, ity of the combinations plants.

Bricker was hit three times, all his
wounds being slight.
The last shot, Bricker claims, was
fired by the boy, Bricker having
knocked the revolver from Guilds
hands. Bricker then commenced fir
ing, and his brother George came up
with a shotgun, and he fired one barrel
at the boy, who held the revolver. The
boy fell, and as his father sprang to
pick up the pistol Bricker shot and
killed him.

HOTTEST SINCE 1872
Thermometer at Chicago Goes UP to 81
Degrees Above Zero.


Chicago, July Sunday was the
hottest June day since 1872. The
temperature rose to 81 degrees and
held to its high mark for over two
hours during the middle of the after
noon. The sizzling period came after
a tolerable Sunday morning. and when
the prospects were fair for an endura-
lie afternoon. Then, midway between
2 and o'clock, the wind shifted from
southeast to southwest. and the ther-
mOmeter went up 15 degrees at a
jump.
While the suffering of the residents
ia all sections of the city was intense,
i'm the tenement districts it was ter
rife. Hot sidewalks and streets. burn
ing back yards and porches offered no
relief from the suns rays. and the
wind, what there was of it, did not
strike these congested regions. The
list of prostrations tells only I'm part
of the tortures borne. for Sunday was
a rest day for the laborers, and they
were able to protect themselves just
enough to escape being overcome.
But in the history of the government
office In Chicago for official weather
fcrecasting and registering, the day
will go down as record breaker
for June-with just one exception.
That day was June 10, 1872. when
the thermometer recorded 90 degrees.
