S MERCURY REACHES HIGH MARK Thermometer Registers Well Over 100 Degrees In Many Places--Boun­ teous Rains May Yet 8ave Grain- Fifty Per Cent Loss Is Reported. Topeka, Kuu, special? Oool weath­ er and slight rains have temporarily saved the corn crop of Kansas from destruction, but even so, the crop is greatly damaged. It Is estimated that half a crop on an average is all that can bo expected. Moist of the damage has been done in the Vicinity of Pratt There has been no rain there for six weeks and the corn crop la ruined, but, fortunate­ ly, wheat Is the staple of that section. The thermometer registered 109 there Wednesday afternoon and thrashing was delayed, as the laborers were un­ able to stand the extreme heat. Wheat, however, will average twenty bushels to the acre. Only Fit for Fodder.^ ; Hutchinson, Wellington, Ahum, Abi­ lene, Florence and other places in the central portion of the state report that a careful examination of the cornfields revealed the fact that the corn had been badly fired In spots. The leaveB of the early product are beginning to shrivel badly and cannot make any­ thing much better than fodder. It will take the most favorable kind of weather for the next six weeks to make anything like a corn crop In most of the Kansas counties. The flood in May made it necessary for most of the crop to be replanted. The corn had barely started to grow, when the ground baked hard around It The weather since then has beta exces­ sively hot most of the time and the plants have had no chance to grow. Hot Winds Threaten Crop. Kansas City, Ma, July 24.--Hot winds have been blowing in southern and southwestern Kansas and in west­ ern Oklahoma for the first time this season and corn growers in those re­ gions are somewhat concerned. Very little damage has been done yet, but the extreme heat, the mercury being well above 100 for days at a time, has dried the ground out pretty thorough­ ly and corn will not stand many days of hot winds. Reports that corn Is suffering al­ ready from the dry weather come also from Leavenworth, Phillips, Geary and other as widely separated Kansas' counties, but the conditions in all these regions are local, there being large areas between of abundant mois­ ture and booming corn. Over the greater corn growing area of Kansas the need of rain is serious­ ly felt and the crop is now at a criti­ cal stage. The weather of the next two weeks will determine in great measure what the harvest will be. Reports from several counties In western Kansas indicate great heat In Rice county the thermometer. reached 107 in the shade, the highest ever known there. Harvey county re­ ports high temperature, and corn, which is just tasseling, damaged &0 per cent by drouth and hot winds. Pawnee county reports 110 in the shade. Corn and feed crops damaged. As far east as Reno county hot wind$ were blowing, but the corn Is not yet damaged.

Morrl3 was presi­ dent of the Republican County Com­ mittee he was a "mark" for men who banked on hard-luck tales.

"Beg your pardon," said the man, "It's really too ridiculous, but " "Hold on," interrupted Mr. Morris. *Tou told me that story last week. Now I am going to turn you over to the police."

In the morning he wanted to take a bath and consulted the pro* prietor about It. The proprietor shouted back to the rear: "Here', Tom, this here gent wants a bath. Bring the fixln's." Tom soon appear­ ed, carrying a cake of yellow soap, a towel and a pick. "What's the pick for?" asked George. "Why," said the proprietor, "you'll have to dam up the crick.** Was It Original? Tit* person giving us the following incident does not vouch for its orig­ inality, but, be it original or quoted, the child made a pretty good hit: A geography lesson was being in< dulged in and happened to be on the far east.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the Country than all other diseases put toiiether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur­ able. For a treat many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed lurnl remedies, and by constantly failing to cure .with local treat­ ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.-J.

Hers le a Novel and Amusing Form of Entertainment. • novel and moBt amusing form of entertainment, one which undoubt­ edly will become popular with the younger set, has been originated by a young woman In Brooklyn. It is called a "Silent Party." The guests are permitted to speak only while being received by the hostesf, and during refreshments and a five-min­ ute intermission. All the rest of the time they are forbidden to speak, to laugh or to correspond with each other, and offenses against the rules are punishable by fines. Each guest is expected to exert himself or herself to the utmost to cause the others to break the rules. The fines are imposed by the host or the hostess, and range from a night cap to a box of candy. Before the party breaks up the fines are written on small slips of paper, and each guest draws one, blanks being added if there are not enough fines to go round. Those who are lucky enough to draw their own fines escape taxation. The others pay their fines to the persons holding the slips of paper, on which are the names of the articles they have been fined. •T. MARY'S ACADEMY. Notre Dame, lnd.

Windfall for a Shoeblack. A Hoxton shoeblack visited a bar­ bershop and while there heard a cus­ tomer read an advertisement offering a reward for information as to his whereabouts. On hearing his name read out as heir to a fortune of £30,000 the shoeblacK jumped up and exclaimed. "Hurry up; that's me. I'm off." Flinging down a few pence he put on his hat and went out. The people in the shop regarded him as insane. He walked all the way to the town where the solicitors who had advertised for the missing man were in practice, his own means to pay the fare being insufficient. It seems that the estate to which he has succeeded belonged to his uncle, who died in­ testate. It has since been valued at £50,000.--London Answers. The Thousand Islands.

"I don't see why they didn't regulate things differently," said the positive man who complains about the heat. "Those people who fixed up the calen­ dar made a mighty poor job of it, It seems to me." "You couldn't make any difference in the weather." "I couldn't?" That shows Just how thoughtless the world is. There's about one man in 200 who really has ideas, and the other 199 generally put in most of their time making fun of him. They let the short months, like February and November and April, come in cold weather, when we could stand the temperature. Why didn't they put 'em ail in a bunch In the sum­ mer time, so that we could get through with It? Here we are compelled to drag along with the longest months and the longest days and the hottest weather at the same time.

Mars, of the First Wiscon­ sin Cavalry regiment, writes from l<f25 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the following letter: • 'For yean i suffered with catarrh ot the kidneys contracted la the army. Medici nc did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by Pe- runa advised me to try it. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief. I kept taking It four months, and am now well and strong and feet better than I have done for the paat twenty years, thanks to Peruna."-- T. H. Mara. At the appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions w h i c h a r e sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It g i v e s g r e a t vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are a p t t o f a i l r a p i d l y i n this disease.
