NEARLY OUT OF COAL.
Philadelphia Has Only Enough to
Last Six Weeks.

Philadelphia, July est is stated on
reliable authority that the supply OF
anthracite coal in the hands of railroads
and dealers here will at the present rate
of consum ption probably be exhausted
by the middle of September.
The report that the railroads are turn
ing over to the retailers supplies they
have been holding in reserve since the
Inauguration of the strike, is said not
to be true. In only one important case,
1t was said, that of the Pennsylvania, has
any of the roads released coal seized by
them in May, all OF the others retaining
what they have for. their own purposes.
In the case of the Pennsylvania, thai
road had no such need for what little
it had retained, as it could use soft
coal. This was the reason it turned a
quantity of anthracite over to some of
it's trade the past week.

HOW TRUNKS ARE MADE.

In going through, it is well to start
ir1s the basement and follow the making
offthe trunks, ETC., till they reach COM
pletion on the third floor. The Topeka
Trunk mandatory does not buy all the
parts of a trunk, tack them together,
and then put its name on them to make
them sell. 1t takes the green bass and
white pine wood, from which all their
trunks are made, dries it in it's own kiln
in the basement, after that saving it
up into the different shapes and sizes
necessary to build a trunk. Mr.. Hoss-
felt, the proprietor, has invented several
machines which facilitate the processes
used in trunk making. One of these
bends the slab-like pieces of wood
which are seen on the outside of a trunk
so that the corners appear round. The
machine is run by steam and takes the
place of the mold used in most places,
being not only much shorter but better
than the latter method.
The ground floor is the place where
the retail business is done. Piles upon
piles of fine looking trunks, valises and
telescopes are there displayed
Going several steps higher, you reach
the second floor. This is filled with
trunks in one end and boxes ready to
make into trunks in the other. There
are all grades and sizes. purchasable at
all prices.
The third and top floor is the one al
ready spoken of as noisy. The people
employed range in age from a 15-year-
old girl or boy to a 50-year-old man.
They number rs and still more hands
are needed.

Kansas section for the week ending July

recorded in the western division, in many
counties of which it reached 100 degrees.
while in many counties in the eastern half
of the state the temperature failed to
reach so degrees. larger, better distrib-
uted rainfall occurred this week than last,
yet it has been quite light in the central
counties during the past 10 days. Sc
we're hail storm occurred in Dickinson
county.
EASTERN DIVISION.
Corn is in unusually good condition and
in many of the southern and central cour-
ties much of the early corn is hard
enough to feed. Wheat threshing and
stacking have progressed, and while some
counties report it poor, others report it
better than expected. Oats threshing is
progressing with good yields Flax is be-
ing cut in Wilson, with cutting nearly
finished in Coffey threshing has developed
fair yields in Chase, but poor yields IN
johnson. Haying has progressed rapidly;

haying becoming more general. Potatoes
are fine crop in qualify and quantity
though in Geary and Anderson they are
rotting in places Apples are quite prom
Using in Johnson and Shawnee but are
dropping In Morris. Peaches are fine lii
quality, but light crop in Montgomery.
Flowing is progressing in Allen and john
SOD. but the ground is too dry in Chase.
MIDDLE DIVISION
Corn is generally in very good condition,
though in Lincoln some is suffering for
rain and in Dickinson some has been
damaged by hail. Owing to the light rain
fall for the past Is days rain is needed to
properly mature the crop. In the south
ern counties the early corn is hardeni.rg.
Wheat harvest still fingers in a few coum-
lies, but In general it is over and thresil-
Ing is in progress, developing poor to fair
yields. Oats threshing is progressing with
good yields. The third crop of alfalfa ds

are fine. Apples are plentiful il Cowley
early apples are about gone in Washins,-
ton. Watermelons are being, marketed in
Sedgwick. Potatoes abundant and fine.
Plums and peaches abundant in Cow
ley. Early grapes are ripe in Summer and
ripening in Washington
WESTERN DIVISION
Inc early corn has been damaged by the
dry, not weather in several counties, but
the late is holding we'll; corn is in roast
ing ear in Ness. Threshing develops fair
yields of wheat, better than anticipated in
several counties Second crop of alfalfa
Is not as good as expected in some coun-
ties and will be used for hay. Range
grass is good and in Mess and Wallace is
being cut for hay. Forage crops, with few
exceptions, are fine. Flowing is progress
ing IN Ness, but was stopped by dry
ground In Thomas. Good prospect for ap-
pies IN Trego and fair in Wallace. Cattle
are in fine condition. 49,,

EMPORIA FALLS DOWN.
Can't Get Horses for National Guard
Encamnmeut

1t seems probable that the state en-
scampment of the Kansas National
Guard will not be held at Emporia after
ALL No formal action has been taken by
the state military board authorities in To-
eating the encampment there but the
military board recomm ended to the
governor that it. be held there If Enporia
furnished the equipment necessary. The
Emporia people agreed to do so, but with
in the last few days they have found it
would be impossible to secure the saddle
horses necessary for the encampment.
The horses are all employed otherwise.
For this reason the encampment will
probably be postponed until the time of
the fall maneuvers at Fort Riley, and the
encampment will be held there in order
that the Kansas militia may see the oper-
ations of the regulars"
