TOO LATE TO SAVE CORN
CROP OF SOUTHWEST
Other Forage Crop. Greatly Benefited
and Intense Heat Wave Which Broke
All Records in Kansas is Ended
Temperature Above 100 on Several
Succeeding Days

Washington, Aug. 11.-Heavv rains,
western New York, beginning Satur-
day night and continuing Sunday. have
broken the heat siege in portions, at
leas, Of the east central and west CEN
tral states, and will be of great benefit
of what remains of the corn crop, ac
cording to reports received here. The
rains were steady, without driving
winds. and soaked gradually into the
ground. They will revive dropping
pastures, wash six weeks accumula-
ton Of dust off vegetation generally.
and replenish wells and cisterns which
have failed.
Dispatches indicate that the rains
were very heavy over northern and
central Illinois and Indiana In centra;
Illinois the rain amounted to a torrent
Buffalo reports rain which fell prac-
tically without cesss 4 for forty

thing and minimizing the danger Of
fires in timber and fields.
Light Rains in Iowa.
Iowa reports say rains fell Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon over
large portion of western and central
Iowa, with local showers, light in char
acter, III the eastern portion of the
state.
Eastern Kansas and western Mis-
souri, sweltered under temperatures OF
100 and higher Sunday, but there are
excellent prospects for rain tonight.
Showers fell in western Kansas in
spots from the Colorado line to Hois-
ington. but were not heavy enough to
be of much benefit.
ST. Louis reports no rain, but pros
poets are good for rain in that district
tonight. Recent rains have put the
crops in good condition in the Dakotas.
Minnesota and other states. and there
Is no further immediate apprehension
in that quarter.
Too Late to Save Corn.
Experts in the corn trade say the
rain came too late to be Of much help
to the crop, but say the benefit to hay,
pasturage and forage generally viii be
very great. It also 10 admitted that es-
Inmates Of damage to corn may have to
be revised, as the staple IL hardy and
has great recuperative qualities.
Agents OF big trading firms who have
visited the "fired" fields say the grains
have shr1veled and no amount Of mois-
ture will cause them to FIJI and harden.
That the rainfall IL proceeding east

wire service, due principally to rain. az
no windstorms are reported from any
direction. All dispatches show that
much Of the corn belt has been fairly
well soaked, with prospects for addi-
tional rain. Even II the damaged corn
is not revived to any appreciable ex-
tent.the destruction has been checked
and the moisture will mean millions Of
dollars to other crops.

Records Broken in Kansas.


Topeka, Kans.. Aug. liver since
last Sunday, seven sweltering days.
Kansas has been in the center Of the
heat wave that has rested upon the
states Of the middle West. The ther-
mometer rose to SO above zero last
Sunday. It was 101 on Monday, 103
on Tuesday, 101 on Wednesday. 104 on
Thursday, 103 on Friday and 101 on
Saturday This breaks all August
consecutive heat records for the state
since the weather department was es-
tablished All the creeks in the state
are dry. and most Of the rivers. The
Kaw. the largest river, measure 3.s feet
at its deepest stage here. The last
trace Of rainfall in Topeka was July %,
when light showers fell during the aft
ernoon. Thes howers that fell in the
eastern part Of the state Saturday did
practically no good.
All the August heat and drouth rec
ords and maximum and minimum tenn
perature records have been shattered
the last seven days. The ground was
dry and cracked from July heat and
lack of the usual rainfall when the Au-
gust heat wave came. Reports re-.
ceived here from reliable sources over
the state indicate that the damage is
not SO great as would appear from
such unusual conditions. Thousands
of silos are scattered over the state,
and these rob the drouth of some Of
its terrors. Farmers have learned to
dig ponds deep and protect them with
willow trees. The first panic following
the drouth doubtless sent thousands of
head Of cattle to glut the market but
warnings from dozen reliable sources
seem to have checked these disastrous
shipments. The heat and drouth of
1901 was a lesson. Most farmers have
since prepared for such a summer.

Chicago, Aug. 1l-Wheat-Within
narrow range and on a light trade
wheat showed fair hrmness because Of
rains which may delay harvest i'll the
northwest. Country offerings were
moderate and receipts at primary mar
kets not as heavy as recently. The
visible showed a large increase and is
more than double last years total.
Corn-Good rains thru the corn belt
gave us a break Of from 1 to Ia cents
early. Country points were Offering
considerable to arrive on the basis Of
Saturdays prices. but did not follow
the decline very far with their offer
ings. Good buying followed and final
prices were about II lower than Sat-
urday.
Oats-This market showed better
strength than any other and closed "A
higher. Receipts We're heavy but were
rapidly absorbed at the table. Only a
small portion Of the days receipts was
reported sold for shipment
Provisions-After opening lower in
sympathy with corn. provisions had a
sharp upturn and closed near top
prices. support at the decline was
given by packing interests, who
seemed opposed to the desire Of pro-
fessionals to force the market lower.

Chicago. Aug. 11-Corn prices broke
today on account OF the ending OF the

out from either bank. Hence the bridge.
 Meantime the trolley had come to Old Saybrook, from New Haven, and gone up on the river on the west side, and it had also come out from New London on the other side to within eight or ten miles of Old Lyme, in East Lyme. Two years ago. there fore, with the foresight which, charac- terizes the materialiSts who bJSild troll leys, application was made to the leg islature for an extension of the char ter rights of the company which was approaching Old Lyme on the east to build to the new bridge, then not quite finished, and by the other company for the right to cross the bridge and connect Today both companies are owned by the same combination. and the extension and connection complete through trunk line from New Ha- ven to New London. and is part of a new through trolley line between New York and Boston.
 Opposition in the Village. Old Lyme aroused to the facts slow ly, but 1t did realize them at length. Then came the excited putting together of heads. The defenders counseled with Miss Griswold and the many other Griswolds in Old Lyme and the Chadwicks and the others of the old families. They were firm in a knowl- edge of what they didn't want, and their numbers were greater than those of their opponents, but their methods had not that rough and rugged char acter which gains ascendency in a town meeting and there could easily have been a more exciting time than there was at the town meeting to consider this subject.
 Legislators Gave Trolley Rights. In the end the whole matter was taken to Hartford, but Connecticut's rustic legislators made a poor court to which to take an appeal for the preservation of old village beauties and the artistic verities and finally the trolley company got what it asked for. Ears must have burned on capitalistic heads that summer and later on when ever some of the Old Lyme colany got together, but ere another legislative session convened at the beginning of the present year the trolley company had started to construct the line toward Old Lyme.
 This was not the end, though they were not to get through that Neck road at their pleasure, and injunctions have held them up this past summer, until they agreed to widen the street to 50 feet and abandon all lines which would mean hardship for anybody, They have got the line open. but it will be some time yet before they can cross Lieutenant river, and passen gers have to alight and walk across that to another car.
 Nevertheless, the trolley has come and commerce has triumphed GoWky poles and networks of wires mar the landscape and the roar and rattle of cars get on ones nerves. Perhaps this had something to do with President Wilson's establishing the summer Nap- ital in the quiet of a northern New England town.
