KANSAS IN sT0Rx'S PATH.


Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. H.
Leavenworth and the surrounding
country was visited yesterday morn.
ing by one Of the most disastrous
wind and electrical storms In its his.
tory. The storm was accompanied
by the heaviest rain that has fallen
in Leavenworth since July 9, 1899.
The storm came from the northwest
and struck the city with terrific
force. The wind uprooted trees, blew
down signs and fences and damaged
hundreds Of buildings. In the coun'
try surrounding Leavenworth great
damage was done to the corn crop.
Many fields were laid fat and as the
corn is very heavy 1t Is not believed
that much Of 1t will straighten up
again.
Topeka, Junction City, Florence,
Osawatomie, Manhattan and many
other places in Kansas report much
damage.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Of the Great Struggle In
Pennsylvania.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
fourteenth week Of the anthracite
miners strike begins to-day. Presi.
dent Mitchell is authority for the
statement, made yesterday, that the
strikers are in good shape. Contribu'
tions to the relief fund are coming
in from many quarters now and the
dissatisfaction which was first
evinced over the distribution has now
disappeared and the strikers have
settled down to what they believe
is going to be a much longer siege
than was first anticipated. While the
slrike leaders are inclined to throw
cold water on all reports that an at
tempt may be made to resume min.
ing at an early day in the Wyoming
region, 1t would not be at all 'surpris'
ing should one or two of the mines in
this section be started up this week.
A general review of the whole
strike region shows that unless the
operators can break the ranks OF
the strikers by starting up a col
liery here and there, the men will be
inclined to remain out for some tins
vet. The amount of relief to be dis
tributed will not satisfy all, but the
miners seem to be willing to make
some sacrifices in that direction In
the hope that eventually they will
win

CORN AND WINTER WHEAT.
The statistlclan Of the Department oi
Agriculture Gives Some Figures Con-
cerning Both Cereals.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The month.
ly report Of the statistician Of the
department Of agriculture shows
the condition Of corn on August
to have been S6.5 as compared with
s7.5 on July /, 1902; "a on August /,
1901; S7.5 at the corresponding date
In 1900 and ten year average Of 81,
There has been an improvement dur
ing the month Of 10 points in Penn
sylvania, 7 in Indiana and Whcon-
sin, 4 in Ohio, Illinois and Kansas,
8 in Iowa and II in Nebraska. This
substantial Improvement in the
most important corn states would
undoubtedly have resulted in a
marked improvement in the average
for the entire country, but for the
fact that IA southern states, contain
ing 36.S per cent. Of the total corn
acreage, show an average decline
during July Of 1917 points.
The statlstician estimates the win
ter wheat crop at about 3sO,0OO,00O
bushels, or an average Of 1873 BUSH
els per acre. While this estimate IL
subject to revision, threshing not be.
ing sufficiently advanced in the more
northerly sections Of the winter
wheat belt to Justify the making Of
o definite and final estimate at this
time, IT is based on reports Of yield
per acre, in bushels received from
correspondents and special field
agents. II the estimate is higher
than was indicated by previous re-
ports Of condition, 1t Is due to the
fact that the crop is turning out
somewhat better than was expected.
The estimated average yield per acre
in the principal states Is as follows,
the states being arranged in order
Of acreage: Kansas, 81; Missouri,
