l25 HORSES DIE
 IN KANSAS CITY
Hundreds More Were Overcome by the Terrific Heat-Six Persons Prostrated-Much Suffering
 in Tenement Districts.

Kansas City, July 24.-Yesterday was the hottest day since in the sum- mer of 1901, the thermometer for the first time in six years soaring to 96 degrees. Not only was the high est point reached, but all day long the mercury lowered near the top mark. At 10 o'clock 86 degrees was registered, and at each succeeding hour the mercury ascended at the uniform rate of two degrees an hour until 3 o'clock, when the high est point was touched. There were six heat prostrations recorded and the record of horses overcome by heat was broken. More than 125 horses died, and an estimate of sev eral of the principal veterinarians of the horses overcome varied between 600 and 800.
 This is the highest number of horses succumbing to heat ever known in Kansas City on any one day. All day long every veterinary surgeon in the city had all that he could do in attending to overloaded horses and the veterinary hospitals are full of sick animals. At Some of the hospitals it was necessary to turn horses away or secure quarters for them in stables or sheds close by, where they weuld be easily accessl- ble for treatment.
 At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the mercury began its downward course and by evening had descended to an almost normal point.
 However, the weather of last night proved trying ordeal to the people of the congested tenement districts. In the tenement parts ot the city many of the people slept III doorways, on roofs and porches and even on sidewalks.
 During the day six men were pros trated by the heat, some ot whom are in serious condition.

THE wINGO LAW TEST
Suit in Preparation to Mandamus the
 Secretary of State.


 Little Rock, July 25.-The Wiugo law, compelling all for cign corporations to pay a tax upon their capital stock, to be allowed to do business in Arkau- sas, is to De tested some more.
 Within a few days Murphy, Coleman & Lewis, a prominent firm of attorneys, will bring suit for mandamus against secretary of State o. l.. Ludwig, to com pei him to accept fees upon the capital stock actually in service.
 The secretary of state, acting upon the opinion of the attorney general, IS requiring the pay ment of fees upon what ever capi- tai stock as has been authorized bv the directors, or stockholders. It is this feature of the bill which the attorneys, acting for a Brit. ish Insurance company, will attack the law. They will hold that the secretary of state, acting for the state, has no right nol power to require the payment ol the fees upon capital stock whict does not exist, although tho stockholders may have right to issue such stock.

CARL LEE GOES
 AFTER JEFF DAVIS
Reoresentive Denounces Sena or as Drunken Pretender and Blatant Demagogue Davis Refuses
 to Stay.

Augusta, July 25.-After Rep- sentative Elmo Carl Lee has travelled 40 miles to Tip to be present and answer United States Senator Jeff Davis, the senator, claiming that ne had to catch a train, left hurriedly after he had denounced Carl Lee for voting for the Lee-Browning bill. Davis claimed that he had a very sick daughter and promised Carl Lee he would come to Woodruff coun ty aud stay on the platform when Carl Lee answered him.
 As Davis left the platform, followed by few polltitious, Carl Lee called to him and reminded him before the entire crowd that Davis had never faced a man in political debate. He still stat ed that Davis would not debate the Lee Browning bill with any Is year-old boy in Arkansas on fair terms.
 Davis did not make answer and Carl Lee then proceeded with his speech. He reminded the people of the many promises Davis had made and showed how many of these promises had been broken. He said he h ad no apologies to offer on the Lee Browning bill and then proceeded to explain the bill. MT. Carl Lee was roundly applauded when he showed that 1t was not farmers that Davis controlled in the last house. He declared that out of 3l farmer members s voted against the Lee-Browning bill. He further declared that Davis did not care whether farmers or lawyers went to the legislature, so long as he could control them, and he frankly told the people if they wanted a man who could be controlled bv Davis he would step down and out aud allow someone else to be sent.
 Mir. Carl Lee requested those in the crowd who heard the senator two years ago when he spoke in Tid, to hold up their hands and quite a number held up their hands. He then asked how many remembered how Davis had prom ised if the boodlers were convicted he would let them lie in prison and rot before he would pardon them. A good many remembered it. The representative then de- clared that in Davis message he had declared 10 the house that if r. O. Butt remained in the penitentiary six months and no other boodler had been couvic- ted, and he was governor he would pardon bim. Carl Lee thought the senator was respon- sible for the pardon of the only boodler convicted. He declared the senator a blatant demagogue who would take the unpopular side of no proposition, no matter how meritorious it was, and that he was drunken pretender who had pardoned more than 800 blind tiger operatives during his ser vice as governor for the sole pur' pose of securing their votes and influence at the polls.
 MT. Carl Lee will go to Bald Knob Thursday, where Dsvts will spe ak, or is advertised to and see if the senator will keeI his word or means to fight it oui on the level.

ANOTHER GOLD CAMP
BURSTS FORTH IN NEVADA

Dixie is a new land of gold
Located thirty-five miles north of Won
der, siXty-five miles southeast of Love
locks, via Boyer's ranch, is a new min
ing district that promises to eclipse any
yet discovered in the state of Nevada,
says the first issue of the Dixie News.
Not since the rush to Cripple Creek,
Colo, has there been ii discovery that
proved as sensational, or that held out
such inducements to the prospector as the
one commonly known as the Carpenter
strike, or the Gold Greek district, as it
was first designated. Owing to the fact
that there is another Gold Creek in Ne
vada, the name of the district was Off
ciaIly declared to be Dixie, and the town
site was also given that name
The general formation of the Dixie dis
trict is primarily of granite mountains,
with immense porphyry 1ntruslonS which
can be followed across the country for
well-defined lodges of quartz and silici-
fled pOrphyry with good walls at any
point where any work has been done at
all.
There is also phonolite running through
the country along which are found good
gold and silver values. The district is
very large and very highly mineralized-
The main values are in gold, but there
have been opened within a few miles OF
the gold bearing lodges some excellent
copper showings which also carry high
grade gold and silver values
The Carpenter vein, on the original dis
coNef9 property, mas Deen opened at IN
tervals for 1.500 feet, although it can be
easily traced for d greater distance; the
vein varies from four to six feet in
width. and yields the same startling val
ues at every point. The fact that Car
penter was compelled TO watch the ground
far months before locating, and that ne
has been practically alone since accounts
for the fact that no deep work has as
yet been undertaken. There is at pres
ent an option standing in favor of Gold
field parties, and several other interests
are in line for q deal should the parties
holding the option decline to pay the
price asked. In any event, work will be
started on this vein at an early date, and
the developments will unquestionably be
sensational when they start to sink on
this bonanza showing. 1t has every indi-
cation of a surface shipper that will ri
val the Nevada Hills of Fairview

HOMESTAKE FIRE DISASTER.
Company Passes Dividend for First
Time in % Years.

The management of the Homestake
company is to be commended for the very
heroic and efficacious means resorted to
for so speedily extinguishing the disas-
trous mine fire. says Denver Mining Re
porter. Late reports state that the water
is now above the fire level, and that the
upper levels are sufficiently cleared of
gases to permit Of their entrance with
out danger.
Miners have already been put to work
in mining surface ores, on the accumula-
ton of an adequate supply of which in
the mill ore bins. milling operations are
to be resumed with upwards of 500 stamps
dropping. According to accounts the
stamping of ores should be under way
at this writing. The expensive work of
unwatering the workings is to be started
at once, with the expectation Of having
the lower workings accessible within
thirty days.
In passing, it is of interest to note that
for the first time in twenty-eight years
this company omitted the paying of a
monthly dividend during May.

here about the 18th Of December last.
Working very hard ever since tramping
over the hills of this district and knowing

All that now remains to be done is to go
ahead and carry out those arrangements

assurance is given that the advertised
scheduled will strictly observed. AL
though scheduled for trip of only six

month on the excursion, so numerous are
the invitations which have been sent the
Commercial club. Scarcely a city or town
along the entire 5000 miles of way has
not written for an extension of time.
While these invitations are most crafty
