it Is reported that the crops are COM
pletely burned up while thousands OF
people are suffering from lack of wa
ter. Railroads are hauling water BY
the trainI0ads to the suffering people.

the suffering is intense. In some
places in Kansas business is suspend
ed.
Governor Hodges of Kansas has
refused to issue a proclamation call
ing on the people for prayer for
rain, declaring that Il believe in the
efficacy of prayer, but not in the case
of flood or drought" AS result
| Bishop J. j. Hennessy of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Wichita has is
sued an order that on Sunday an hour
Ishould be devoted in every church in
fervent prayer for a termination of
the present unusually protracteu dry
spell. Other denominations have ia
ken up the cause and open prayer will
be held throughout the state.
In Chicago where the humidity is
pronounced, the people are suffering
from the hottest afternoon of the
summer and the suffering is intense.
Deaths from prostrations are frequent
and no relief is in sight
Fierce in Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 16.-This is
the 18th day that Kansas has been
sweltering in such terrific heat and
in many towns throughout the state
business houses were forced to sus-
pend operations. No relief seems in
sight. Reports from over the state
show the temperature to be 10o' de-
grees.
Springs everywhere are drying up.
Trains are loaded with water and are
enroute to many localities which are
practically without water. In some
sections the inhabitants have left their
homes and are camped around such
wells that are still holding the liquid
cool. The suffering is intense.
Showers slightly relieved the suf-
fering in Kansas, Missouri and OkIs-
homa from the heat wave, but have
been inadequate to break the back
bone and the mercury is climbing rap
idly this afternoon. Practically every
crop in this section has burned up.
Record Breaker Today.

mometer registered at SO degree, AT

GLYNN ISSUING ORDERS AND GETTING SUP
PORT OF OFFICIALS.
cool HEADS TO EVADE MIXUP
Mrs. Suffers Condition is Critical But Information
Is Wthheld-Crisis is Near in the
situation.
By John Neyins
(For the United Press)

ALBANY, Aug. 16.-Goyernor Sui
ger continues in possession OF the ex-
,ecutive chamber while Martin H
Glynn, who signs himself Acting
Governor" is discharging all the CUB
ernatorial duties and is being upheld
by most of the state officers. Many
sources are exerting pressure on
Glynn to forcibly eject Sulzer from
his stronghold in the capitol building
but Glynn steadily refuses to engage
in what he terms an "unseemly
wrangle."
1t is predicted the present duel gov
ernorship will continue for some time
although undoubtedly Glynn's position
is much stronger. Leaders of the two
factions are discouraging the talk of
violence but their followers are threat
ening vengeance and it is feared riots
may mark the dispute.
Information concerning the condi-
tion of Mrs. Sulzer this morning has
been refused. Sulzer's private secre
tary this afternoon denied that the ex
act condition of Mrs. Sulzer was being
suppressed He said: "She is very
sick and cannot sleep without opiates
being used"

Glynn Refuses.

Martin H. Glynn checkmated the
move of William Sulzer last night to
invoke the arbitrament of the courts
on the question as to which of the two
is lawfully the present chief execu-
tive of the state of New York.
Replying to a formal proposal by
the impeached executive to submit the
issue TO adjudication on an agreed
statement of facts, Mr.. Glynn last
night decided it was beyond his pow
er to barter away any of the functions
attaching to the office in which | am
placed by your impeachment"
ANY attempt on my part to do so,'
he said, "or to stipulate method by
which it might be done, would proper
ly place me in the position you now
occupy-that of being impeached for
malfeasance in office"
Mr.. Glynn declared further that he
proposed to perform every function of
the office of governor Except in so
far as l am restrained by your illegal
action or by physical force

A Pleasant Social Event

The Misses Maybury, Griesel, Ida
and Clara Abel, Payden, Chelgren,
Quigley, Hedensted, Void and Bur-
gett last years teachers in the city
schools gave very pleasant enter
tainment in honor of Misses Wash
ington, Armstrong, Muir, Gilbertson
and Alden who are this years re-
cruits of the teaching corps, at tie
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. E..
Compton on Friday evening of last
week.
Each teacher was supposed to
represent some popular song and the
idea was carried out very successfully.
Misses Ida Abel, Maybury and
Hedensted tied for the prize of cor
rectly guessing the largest number OF
songs represented and they drew cuts
for the prize: Miss Hedensted proved
the best drawer and won. Miss Arm
strong won the BOBBY prize for guess
ing the fewest number by a wdie
margin.
Much amusement was created by
the game of hidden fortunes and some
surprising results developed. Re-
freshments were served and very
pleasant time enjoyed. Mrs. Nj. d.
Aygarn and Mr.. Thomas were honor
guests.

WON ]. ]. HILL CUP
Albert Molitor of Raymond Township Has
Best Agricultural Exhibit at
County Fair

The fair board had their trouble i'm
finding the winner of the J. J.. Hill
cup at the Stearns County Fair. This
was to be for the best individual
agricultural exhibit which included
everything grown on the farm. The
board divided the farm into four
classes, live stock, farm produce,
horticulture and poultry. The high
est points any farmer could secure
would be 100 and then his exhibits
would have to be perfect in every
particular. Horses, for instance we're
put i'm at 100, and no matter how
many horses any one farmer might
have at the fair he could not secure
marking of over 100 on this branch of
the farm. To compete for the cup a
farmer must have exhibited in three
of the four departments designated.
The board figured the percentages on
a basis of seven and four for the first
and second prize. There were num-
Der of very close contestants for this
cup but after everything was figured
up it was found that Albert Molitor
of Raymond township had won out
with percentage of 373, with O. S.
Cass of Sank Centre township
second with a percentage Of BOB.

TALKS TO STUDENTS
w. o. Chamberlain of Minneapolis, Ex-
pounds the Doctrine of Fire Proven
ton to 500 Students

Friday morning of last week w. o.
chamberlain of Minneapolis visited
tbs Sank Centre public schools and
delivered four talks to the students
In the various grades and high school
on the question of fire prevention.
During the past two years this fire
insurance expert has made speciality
of addressing the student body of
this state on this important question,
and has spread the gospel of fire pre-
vention to over 60,000 of them in this
period. The gentleman works on the
theory that if he can have SO per cent
of the student body back of him he
can eliminate any crime or nuisance
in existence, and who can say that he
is not right. Other states are teach
ing the idea of fire waste prevention
in the puplic and parochial schools
under the law, and it is being carried
on in Minnesota by the State Fire
Prevention Association, of which Mr..
Chamberlain is an active member,
and the state fire marshal depart
ment. There isn't any doubt but
what from IS to 10 per cent of the
fires in the United States are prevent
able if the public will perform their
full duty, and in these talks Mr.
Chamberlain is building for the
future. There are but few who can
get closer to the child and young man
or woman i'm an address than Mr..
Chamberlain, AMI his illustrations
whether for the kindergarten class or
high school student are always timely.
He made a splendid impression dur
ing his stay in Sank Centre and an at
tempt will be made to have him ad-
dress the commercial club at some
near future date.

Conference at Detroit, Mimi,
This Week

5 Rev. r. w. Duel closed his second
fears work as pastor of the Sank
Centre Methodist Episcopal church
Sunday morning. His work in this
city has been highly satisfactory to
the members of his flock and the Of
ticial church board voted unanimously
Iorequest the conference to return
him for another year.
The Northern Minnesota Confer
ence of which the local church is a
member is now i'm session at Detroit,
MINI. 1t was i'm Detroit that Rev.
Duel first located when he came to
Minnesota, and this conference meant
much to the Sank Centre man. not
only because he would meet old friends
but because he expected to be ordained
as elder. The rules of the Methodist
church put the young pastor on a
probationary period for two years
after which he is ordained as deacon,
giving him authority to perform the
marriage and baptismal rites. Four
years of service and passing rigid
examination he is entitled to be Or
dained as elder with authority to
serve the Sacrament Last Sunday
closed the fourth year since Mr.. Duel
first entered the ministry.
