The loss of more than 500 lives can
be credited to the great heat wave of
July l to g. The heat wave will be
memorable in weather annals for its
wide extent, its long duration, its
record breaking temperatures in GER

ties which il caused The hundreds
of news dispatches which cities from
the north Atlantic seaboard west to
the plains states have exchanged dur
ing the past four days account, ac-
cording to a careful review last night
for the deaths of 43l persons from
the heat and so from drowning-a

points to report specifically the mum

showing as can be remembered for
many years,if not a record The num-
Der Of prostrations is still more diff
cult to compute. but from the review
of the dispatches, ii easily appears
that thousands have been seriously
overcome by the heat in the various

sunset side OF the Missouri river TO those
who deal IN romance Most OF the novels
that are being brought forth today deal
with a past era in western history. Few
Of them take up modern conditions in the
west. because such conditions are not so
romantic as those the old west offers. Tho

years. The sudden elimination OF the long
cattle trails by the building OF railroads

Orders for seats and for the best place
in the big parade are coming in fast.
Omaha's Elks have lined up in gala array,
and they will not be hard to find when the
big day comes off. The governors of Ak
Sar-Ben will be in full uniform for the
affair, and will be prominent in the parade
line.
Who will pitch for Pa against Des
Moines is a question that is worrying many
of the fans. Bert Kelley and Danny
Durbin are contenders for the honor, but
as Bert has been with Omaha the longer,
and as he Is in the best of shape to twirl
off his combination of fast and slow balls,
he will be likely to be the man. Johnny
