Kansas City, Mo-, July 6. = With
temperatures over the southwest at
seven O'Clock this morning reading
from five to ten degrees lower than at
the same hour yesterday and light
showers in sight over most of the ter
ritory, decided relief from the ex-
treme heat of the last four days is
predicted today by the local forecas-
ter. Yesterdays climax of heat will
not be reached by from ten to fifteen
degrees, he said. At Fort Worth,
Texas, light rain fell today Last
night shower of rain fell at Mo
brara Neb., and at Salina, Kans. In
the twenty-four hours just ended at
seven o'clock this morning there were
nine deaths from heat and twenty
prostrations here.

on July "a, 1901, was surpassed yes

No heat prostrations occurred in To-
peka yesterday, and none are report
ed from out in the state.
There was no hot wind yesterday
just a mereiless sun shining from a sky
not even fiecked with clouds. Topeka
people are sleeping on porches and
in yards, the nights being almost un.
bearable indoors. Hope that rain may
fall during the night is raised by the
thunder clouds reported as generally
prevailing over the entire state. All

City the railroads report partial cloud.

A heavy rain yesterday at La Junta
and over Colorado generally and the
weather in the mountain state is be
ing reported as exceptionally cool. In
western Kansas it is reported that the
cool Colorado air is working east

supply of thunderheads which fill the
Kansas horizon generally are the only
apparent rays of hope for relief.
A promising shower accompanied by
considerable electrical display, be-

specifically the number of such deaths,
it is as serious a showing as is re-
membered for many years, if not a
record.
The number of prostrations is still
more difficult to compute, but from

pears that thousands have been over

Over two hundred Deming boost-

to the bitter end.

Christmas superstltIons.

The United States is almost poverty
stricken in 50 far as its collection oil
superstitions is concerned, our early
settlers having failed to import many
from Europe, and not adopting those
of the Indians. OF course some OF
us don't like to see the new moon
over the left shoulder or start on a
Journey on Friday, and the like, but
few of US take even these very serious
ly. We must go to "the old coun-
tries" to get superstitions with any
genuine thrill in them. There are a
number which have to do with Christ
mas.

teal yet poetic spinning wheel still

RustIIna Of Leaves.

Until few years ago Hampshire
rustics used to sit up till IL O'Clock
on old Christmas night, and as soon
as they heard the leaves rustling they
went to the nearest comstall to watch
the animals get up and lie down or
the ether side side. he idea of watching
the animals arose from the belief that
at IL o'clock on the night of the Ma
tiviy oxen knelt In their stalls in honor
Of the event; that the rustling of the
leaves refers to the tradition that
thorn trees blossom at midnight to
commemorate the Saviour's birth.

The Crisis for Democrats.

The Democratic party is in control 0
the Lower House Of Congress for th,
first time in sixteen years.
The victory came to Democracy as I
result Of general discomfort at condi
tons which had made the burden of life
heavy, opportunity unequal and more
limited and the expense Of government
enormous.
With the victory came responsibility,
and now there is a crisis confronting
the Democracy, having a majority in
one branch of Congress- minority in
the Senate and Republican in the
White House
As soon as the Republicans recover
ed the breath that had been knocked
out Of them in November, they began
shaping schemes that would again put
them 10 power
They delayed the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada until it forced an
extra session.
Coming into the extra session the
Democrats will begin revision Of the
tariff. This work is forced on them in
an unprepared hour, and if the revi-
sion of the tariff is not satisfactory the
blame will be on the Democrats.
II the reciprocity agreement hits
some protected but numerously repre-
sented interests the Democrats must
answer
The people will forget that reciproc-
ity is primarily Republican scheme,
that McKinley's last great speech was
for it and that President Taft is not only
the leader in the present fight for reci-
procity, but that he is tariff reyolu-
ZIONIST.
Every one is for reciprocity when he
gets benefit, and every one is against
it il some privilege he has enjoyed, but

If reciprocity cuts the price OF bar
rel Of -four fifty cents, the flour eater Of
the city will rejoice, but the wheat
grower will make trouble.
We are all free traders up to the
point when it goes into effect
The trouble is that the poison OF the
seIfishness OF protection has been in us

sent the man who for our ultimate good
