ARE
EXPECTED TO
COME SOON

Reports of rains throughout the
drought west have made the
officials of the Standard Steel Car COM
pany more optimistic as to the pros
poets for new orders.
A few days ago it is understood that
an important western railroad notified
the Standard Steel Car company that
it would withdraw its inquiries re-
garding new cars on account of the
drought in the west.
1t is believed that the placing of i'm
portant orders now depend on the crop
conditions in the west. If the wide
spread rains that are reported this
morning have come in time to save the
crops it may be expected that big or
ders for cars will be placed in the near
future.
The Erie railroad is reported to be in
the market for 1000 cars and fifty en-
gines. W. d. Webb said this morning
that the car builders are so anxious to
get orders that there will be very lit
| tie money in the first orders.
| The railroads have gone so long with
out purchasing new equipmentthat a
well-known car manufacturer is the
roads of the United States will have to
| order 100000 cars in order to bring
their equipment up to the standard
| that prevailed in 1907.
The cars will have to be bought some
| time in the near future, and the broad
/ smiles tina tthe manufacturers are
/ wearing indicates that they believe the
orders will come in soon.

mans Report to Sheriff. Four Hoboes
Arrested on Suspicion Near Palmer

and whether it now lies along the right
of way of the Erie.
Sheriff Grant still held the hoboes in
custody today pending a further in
vestigation. Sheriff Grant and deputy
Furman have attempted to connect
them with what might be murder. but
they have not uttered a word that
would warrant any charges against
them.
WORKING ON MYSTERY.
The reports that came to the sheriff's
Office were of such a nature that the
county officials felt that an investigation
should be made at once.
While few facts have been gathered
so far, theories based on the reports
that the bloody head of man was seen
in the car door, are not lacking.
One is that the mysterious passenger
was himself a hobo, and that he was
the victim of a holdup or bloody
fight with other tramps. Another is
that he was hobo travelling alone. and
that he had been overcome by the heat,
and that he lay insensibie in the door,
way pleading from wounds which he
received in falling. But the principal
question is: Where is this mysterious
person or his body?"

FIVE HUNDRED LOSE LIVES.

The loss of more than 500 lives
is to be credited to the great heat
wave of July 1 to 5, 1911, which Of
fetal weather advices say will abate
somewhat tomorrow.
The torrid period will be memoir
able in weather annals for its wide
extent. its long duration, its record
breaking temperatures in many
places and the long list of fatalities
which it has caused.
The hundreds of news dispatches
which cities from the north of the
seaboard west to the plains states
have exchanged during the past
four days account, according to a
careful review tonight, for the
deaths of 431 persons from the heat
and so from drowning-a total of
511.
Incomplete as the record is from
the failure of many points to report
specifically the number of such
deaths, it is as serious a showing as
is remembered for many years. IL

EXPLOSION FROM WITHIN.

Washington, D. c., July 6.-The
loss of the battle ship Maine was
caused by the explosion of her three
magazines. No such effect as that
produced upon the vessel could have
been caused by an explosion from
without. Such is the opinion of Gen.
William H. Bixby, chief of Engineers.
u. S. A., who has returned from a
personal inspection of the work of
raising the Maine.
