Weather Conditions.

The rapid movement of an area OF
high pressure, which developed in
the northwest, to the eastern slope Of
the Rockies, has caused decided fall
of temperature in that region, and has
divided the area of low pressure,
which covered the mountain region
yesterday
The northern portion of the low
area is moving through the upper
Mississippi valley this morning, and
has caused higher temperature and
showers in the Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, while the southern
portion remains in western Texas,
and there have been showers follow
ed by lower temperature, in Arizona
and Texas.
The field of high pressure from the

TWO Factions of the
State.

TOPEKA, Kan. August 3o.-The
threatened split in the Kansas insur-
gency is no longer imminent. When
the state council was called at noon

test.

Mrs. French's dramatic story of

the young Montana financiNr a few
millions and precipitated the panic
that caused the innocent bystanders
