AN OPPRESSIVE DAY.
just Enough Rain Fails to Lay the
Dust


An exceedingly oppressive day was
this one and just as peculiar as it was
oppressive. For hours during the
morning it seemed that a terrific storm
was about to break on the city in all
It's 1ury any minute. But it did not.
When sunrise came this morning
good sized gale was blowing from the
south but the sky was bright and clear
and the sun shone with all It's summer
strength until about 8 o'clock. Then
some purple storm clouds appeared in
the south and swept around westward
and to the north until they nearly en-
circled the city. Vivid flashes of light
ming broke through them in the west
and the rumbIings Of heavy thunder
were heard. Along about 10 o'clock
few drops Of rain fell and an hour and
half later there was a bit of a show
er but it was hardly enough to lay
the dust. Then the clouds broke
away, the sun shone forth with many
extra degrees of heat, and the atmos-
phere became burdensome with hui
midity. Clouds hid the sun at 2 O'Clock
again, but they were not of the storm
variety, and the chances are there will
not be a storm either this afternoon
or evening.
Tempera lures today were:
o'clock ..76l11 o'clock ...-.79
o'clock ....78l12 o'clock ....-78
o'clock .....80l 1 o'clock ....S6
10 O'Clock .-..80l 2 O'Clock 81
The wind was blowing at 2 o'clock
at the rate of fifteen miles an hour
from the southeast.

were unable to get here before Sun

Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 10. Mayor

noon issued the following signed state
ment:
Report regarding the earthquake at
Socorro have been exaggerated. The
damage to date is limited to the fall

The walls Of the building were not
of a substantial character. The court
house is not injured except by the
falling of plaster from the ceiling and
the topping over Of old chimneys.
Wmkler hotel, which is an old adobe
building, has not been injured in the
least. Actual damage all around is
very slight, although there is some un-
easiness ON account of the frequency
Of the shocks, which are, however, be-
coming lighter each time, indicating
that the disturbance is subsiding.
Since yesterday there have been four
slight shocks, which were barely per
ceptible, and would have passed un-

lave left SOrrocco on account of the
earthquake have done so principally
ON account of their children and fe-

LOOKS BAD FOR HARTJE
Sensational Develop elts in the Hart
je Divorce Case That Ad Mrs,
Hartje,

Pittsburg, Pa, July l9,-Following
the sensational attack ON the charac-
ter of Augustus Hartje, in which it
is alleged that he had taken two differ
ent women frequently to question
able resort, was the real sensation of
to-day in the Hartje divorce trial, cul-
minated this afternoon when Judge
Robert S. Frazer admitted, under bit
ter protest Of the opposing counsel,
that the testimony relating to the
charges of conspiracy against John
L. Welshons. prominent merchant,
Augustus Hartie, libellant, and Cliff
ford HOoe, a negro coachman now in
Jail on perjury charges for alleged
false swearing in the case.
Welshone, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel, told clear story
cf how the deposition was secured
from Hooe. He said that Hooe then
left the city and the witness told of
having given him various small sums
of money at different times. This
locked like backmail the witness
said, He said he might have told
Hooe that he would be sent to the
penitentiary for perjury if he did not
stick to the original story he told.
Welshons story, it is said, comedies
very closely with the statement of
Hooe, relating to the case, which is in
the possession of the district attorney.
This was the first attempt during the
trial to present evidence of an alleged
onspiracy which Mrs. Hartje s counsel
declare was formed to defame her.
Welshons is a close friend of Angus
tus Hartie, and is accused with Hart
je and Hooe of canspiring against
Mrs. Hartje.
Hcoe some months ago, made a de-
position in which he said he had been
intimate with Mrs. Hartje. He af-
terwards repudiated it, and is now in
Jail on a charge of perjury.

Pawhuska, July l9.-Gov. Frank
Frantz left this afternoon for Guthrie
after spending yesterday and this
morning in Pawhuska. In a conversa-
tion last evening regarding the new
state, he said "The date for holding
the constitutional convention has not
yet been fixed, and probably will not
be for some fttle time yet. Inc com
missioneers for Oklahoma have their
work well in hand and will be ready to
report the districting Of this territory
before the commissioners of the Indian
Territory will have completed their
work Conditions in the latter terri
tory necessarily make the work slower
as there is no basis of political divi-
sions or former census upon which to
rely. However, the commissioners are
working as rapidly as possible, and
hope to hold the election for delegates
at the usual time for fall elections
Regarding the political complexion of
the new state, | think it can be safely
said that it will be Republican. The
best authorities in Indian Territory
agree that that portion north and east
of the Chickasaw nation is Republi-
can. The latter nation is of course
Democratic, but the Republican major
tiles in Oklahoma will offset this.

far and near to witness this important
event. The occasion was of less vital
charm to Enidites themselves, who
have watched the court house progress

1t is long journey from London to
Russia, and an expensive one-about
as far as from New York to Kansas
City or Omaha, and about twice as
long and twice as expensive. 1t re-
quires an outfit of tickets. There are
two fast trains a week from London,
with only one change of ears at the
Russian border, which is necessary be-
cause of the difference of guage in the
tracks. All the Russian railroads are
broad guage.
The journey is advertised for fifty
hours, but it is little longer, and
the waits at Ostend and at the from
tier of Russia are deducted, although
that is not necessary in measuring
railway time.
