Day WEATHER IN CORN BELT.
Portions Of Nebraska and Kansas
r. Alone Get Rain.

washington, Aug. 23.-Moderately
warm weather and continued lack OF
the normal rainfall in most districts
we're the marked feature of the wealth
er of the week just ended, according
to the national weekly bulletin OF the
weather bureau.
In the corn growing states west Of
the Mississippi 1t continued dry n
Missouri and Oklahoma and only light
rains occurred in Iowa. In portions
Of Eastern Kansas and over much Of
Nebraska however, there were good
rains and conditions were more favor
able in those states except in the
southern and western parts of Kansas
where hot and dry weather continued.
In the principal corn growing states
east of the Mississippi 1t was warm
and large sections were without bene.
acial showers; in fact no rain occurred
over much of Illinois, and there was
little or none in large portions of west.
ern Indiana and Northern Ohio. IN
Southern Michigan beneficial showers
occurred, relieving somewhat the
drought in those states, but more rain
is needed in these as we'll as the other
states of the belt.
In the spring wheat growing states
the weather was warm and dry. and
conditions were favorable for the con-
tinuation of the harvest as well as the
development of late vegetation.

ever, Sunday night after retiring, Mr..
Alderman heard the kitchen door open

found the money on the floor with the

CHIEF cR,rlc,ses WILEY.
Wilson Tells Probers Of DEPARTMENT.
Family Troubles"

Washington, Aug. 22.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson testifying before
the house investigating committee, Sc
verely criticised DR.. H. w. Wiley Of
the bureau of chemistry for his course
in regard to pure food and drug work,
and told in q more or less general
way OF the family troubles" which
led to the recommendation of DR.. wi.
ley's dismissal.
Mr.. Wilson declared that DR.. Wiley
In his testimony before the commit
tee, had withheld material matters in
regard to the controversy over sulphur
dioxide in fruit. He complained that
DR.. Wiley did not come to him to dis
cuss subjects about which he had talk.
ed freely to the Investigating commit
tee and promised to have little chat
with the chief of the bureau of chem
istry when he returned from weeks
vacation.
In appointing the pure food and drug
inspection board and in the creation of
the referee board Secretary Wilson
said he considered DR.. Wiley had been
done a kindness rather than insulted
as chemist
