the people and live stock of the three
States.
Local showers in Kansas failed to af-

again reached an average maximum
above 100 degrees. In many places the
mercury climbed to los, and few sta

100. 4 half-inch rain fell in Topeka
late yesterday. causing the temperature

but an hour later the mercury had
climbed up to the maximum of the day.
The shower was confined to a ter

downpour, as it was the first rain there

Hot Spell Breaks Record.
For sustained heat the present hot
spell has broken all Kansas records
and this summer has been the dryest in
the history of the State. Since the
drought began early in May, when the
Thermometer rose to 100 degrees, hot
waves have followed with such brief
cool periods intervening that the ex-
ceptional heat has been almost con-
tinuous.
Late crops have been practically de-
stroyed in parts of the State. Some
farmers are cutting their corn In the
hope of utilizing it for fodder. but IN
some instances the blades are so dry

a rain in forty-five days, and for more
