Heat Kills Forty In CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Ill. July 6.-Forty deaths
from heat had been reported to the
Chicago police up to 10 o'clock last
night and it is thought the later re-
turns will run the total close to the
half hundred mark. There were abou.
seventy prostrations and in the Ghet.
to and other congested districts,
babies died like flies. In the streets
men and horses dropped constantly
One of the most common sights was
that of veterinarians working over
PROSTATE horses.
1t was the fifth and hottest day OF
the present unprecedented heat wave
and it found the survivors in poor con
dition to meet the battle. Tuesday be
| ing a holiday, was chosen by many
laboring men to attend picnics, where
| they drank freely of intoxicants. The
night WIS so intensely hot that sleep
was almost impossible, and when
these men went to work. the first
blast of the days sun crumbled them
as though they had been shot. The Of
! ficial temperature was in excess of 10s
but in the streets it scared about 10

ambulances in Chicago to care fo
the prostration cases. Frequently ex

victims to the hospitals.

chine there until the highway commits
sioner saw it, Montgomery County folks
would get some highway repairs, per-
maps. In addition. he volunteered to- ex-
tricate the machine for a consideration
that is he would extricate It when his
boy returned from town with the family
morse. The boy might get back within
two or six hours, he added.
Mr.. Wynne decided TO try to lift the
machine from its nest. That's where he
made the mistake OF his motoring life,
and, incidentally, received aforementioned
injuries to his erstwhile consul shoulder
and arms. One tug at the marooned
machine laid him out and he sat down TO

After several hours the machine was

INCREASE SHOWN
IN PRINT PAPER
Stock on Hand Larger by
More Than 1000 Tons.

An increase of 4,OS2 tons in the stock
of new print paper at the end of July,
as compared with June 80, 1911. is shown
by the statistics OF the American Paper
and Pulp Association, filed with the
Commissioner of Corporations. The in
crease has continued since February,
1911. Total on hand February 2S, 1911,
was 1881 tons: May 81. 34,9l7 tons, and
on July 81, 4I.7SS tons.
Both production and shipments fell of
very greatly during July. Production de-
creased 1880 tons, from IlO.39O in June
to 81, $50 tons in July The percentage of
normal production in July was Sc, as
compared with practically 100 per cent
in June. The July shipments declined
1852 tons. from 1O2, ,033 tons to S7.40S tons.
II is a remarkable fact that production
in July. 1911, was almost the same as for
July, 1910, but the production in July.
1910 exceeded the average for the pre-
ceding half year, while the output for
July. 1911, was the smallest except one

Washington.

Trunks Piled High.
Although the beginning of September is
always attended by a big homeward
rush. the number of those returning to
the city earlier than usual is larger this
year. For the last three DAYS the num-
Der of trunks handled at Union Station
is as great as il usually is toward Sep
tember 90.
Three reasons are assigned by knowing
ones for the early return of the vaca-
tionists. One is the belief there will be
an early fall this year Just why this
idea should prevail is hard to say, but
the fact remains that the recent heavy
rains and attendant cooler atmosphere
frightened those at the resorts, and the
fear Of shivering in their summer cloth
ing sent them back home.
Another reason is the desire 10 escape
the coneested condition of the railways
which is usually the case later on in the
month
