RAIN Brings
COOLER WEATHER
Precipitation General Over CentraI
and Eastern Kansas.
ON 18TH DAY OF THE DROUGHT
Rains Were Not Heavy But There
Was Enough 20 Bring the
Mercury Down-Sccond
Longest Dry Spell.

Topeka. July 1.-THE second
losgest period without rain in Kan
sas in the last twelve years was
broken last night with light rains
that were general over central and
eastern Kansas. The rains were
not heavy. but there was enough to
send the mercury scooting down. the
thermometer tubes and give the
corn roots a little of the much need
ed moisture.
At Great Bend and other points
in the western section Of the state,
mercury took a drop. of 90 degrees
in less than three hours and then
1t rained. 1t was 100 at Great Bend
at 3 o'clock and 81 at 6. There was
half an inch OF rain at Dodge City
and from that amount down to good
showers of a tenth of an inch fell
generally along the Santa Fe lines.
The Rock Island reported rain on
it's southwest lines almost to Liber-
al and on its Colorado lines to Phil
lipsburg and the telephone offices
showed showers general through CEN
trail Kansas. A quarter OF an inch
Of rain fell in Topeka.
Yesterday was the seventeenth
day on which no rain had fallen in
northdast and central Kansas. In
July Of 1901 there was no rain of
measurable amount in the same ter
ritory for eighteen days, so that to-
day would have equaled this record.
For five days this week the tenn
peratures throughout the state have
exceeded 100 degrees each day and
most points went to IL degrees
higher. Wednesday was the warm
est day throughout the state ever
recorded by the government wea-
Their bureau, higher average tenn
peratures prevailing then than on

MILITIA A PART OF ARMY
Agreement Reached TO Make Guards
Available.

washington. July 19.-Complete
agreement was reached today be-
tween the war department and the
executive committee of the national
guard association on the general
outline OF q bill designed to make
the organized militia available for
immediate service in any part OF
the world as a part OF the regular
army. The measure will be per-
fected in the near future and I'M
troduced in congress with the In
dorsement Of the war department
and the state militia authorities.
Conferences on the proposed bill
have been in progress here for sew
eral days between Acting Secretary
Breckenridge for the department
and Major General Edward Young,
adjutant general OF Illinois; Briga-
der General John G. Chase. adju-
tant general of Colorado; Brigadier
General James A. Drain OF the state
Of washington and Colonel Harvey
of the District of Columbia national
guard, constituting the national
guard executive committee.
The proposed new law would pro-
vide for the payment Of militiamen
by the national government, the
payments to be made in lump sums
to the state authorities and disburs-
ed upon reports by inspectors of
the regular army, testifying to the
complete efficiency of the militia to
be paid. 1t would overcome the
effect of decision by Attorney GEN
eral Wickersham chat the militia
could not be used outside the terri
toriaI limits of the United States.
This is to be accomplished by main
tanning the militia in strict accord
ance with the regular army organ
ization and by transferring the or
ganization bodily, officers and pfi-
Yates, into the regular army, in case
of need

DEMAND ACTION
FROM FEDERALS
Americans Must BE Protected, Says
State Department.
REQUEST DISPATCH OF TROOPS
Foreigns Are Held for Ransom In
DurangO-United States Poll
icy II One Of Waiting
Say Officials.

Washington. July 19.-In re-
Spouse to Consul Hamm's request
for protection for Americans In the
Durango district, the state depart
ment has demanded action from the
Mexican federal authorities. The
department went further than usual
in that 1t requested the federal gov
eminent to dispatch troops from
Torreon.
Consul Hamm has previously re-
ported foreigns irrespective of ma
tionality being held by revolution
lists for ransom in Durango. The
prisoners at one time included the
archbishop OF Durango.
1t was reiterated that the cabinet
unanimously was in accordance with
the president in waiting return to
stable conditions before Attending
recognition. Several officials stat
ed that the cabinet from the begin
ming had been of the opinion that
changing conditions of Mexican pol
itics warranted the :'hands off" pol
icy for some time to come.
Secretary Bryan authorized the
statement thaA he would cancel any
lecture engagement which would
conflict with the conference next
week he and the president will have
with Ambassador Wilson. Some of
the members OF the cabinet were not
inclined to think any action would
be tsEen following Ambassador Will
sons conference and reiterate the
belief that until elections were held
in Mexico and an appearance of peace
was in sight formal recognition
would be held.
The state department today, in
confirming the report of the APP
pointment by the Mexican federal
government of General Felix Diaz
as ambassador to Japan on a spec
ial mission, announced that Diaz
would fulfill mission which was
created for Gustavo MaderO, bro
Their of the late President Francisco
Madero, who was also killed in the
events that led to the deposition and
death Of the unfortunate president.
The mission was created for the
purpose of formally thanking the
Japanese government for its pgrti-
cipatfon in the Mexican centennial
in 1910.

TOO MANY COYOTES
IN WESTERN KANSAS

Rayanna, July 19.-Thfs section
of western Kansas is overrun with
coyotes. They multiply each year
by the thousands. The law fixing a
bounty of 81 per scalp is not sufff-
cient to extermfnate them.
When the people can kin coy
ote and collect the bounty, they do
so. but the 81 fee is not sufficient
inducement to hunt them. If the
bounty was SIS the coyote would
soon become a curiosity, and It
would cost the state less in the end.
The people of Finney and other
counties VIM ask the next legfsla-
ture to amend the law by fixing the
bounty at IS for every coyote scalp.
