All heat rec ords for the season melted away to day, when Government thermometers registered approximately 95 degrees. This was on top of the Federal build ing, where breezes were blowing, but down in the cavernous streets the heats was above the 100 mark. One death and many prostrations were re corded by the police. That the death list is not much larger is due to the fact that this was a half-holiday and thousands of persons had quit work at noon. The maximum degree of heat was reached at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and continued until after sundown. The entire city wilted and gave up the battle early in the day. The night had been hot and there was no oppor tunity to store energy against today's heat. The proprietors of department stores and factories, realizing the un usual situation, dismissed as many of their employes as possible and per mitted the remainder to drag around as they chose. An invading army of 15 energetic men could have captur ed the entire city with small resist ance. Dispatches from cities! and towns in Illinois, Northern Indiana, Lower Michigan and Wisconsin tell of unus ually oppressive heat which half bak ed the life and energy out of man and beast alike. Prostrations were re ported in many of the smaller cities, and advices from small towns and farming districts tell of horses being killed by the sun's rays. There was one bright spot in the entire situation and that stood out prominently in the general picture of misery. The torridity is pushing the great corn crop rapidly beyond the peril of early frosts, which now con stitutes the chief bugbear in the grain markets. As far as sweltering humanity is concerned, the only possible relief which the Weather Bureau could of fer was "probably showers in the ex treme northern portion of the state." The! temperatures in all states in the Middle West were higher in spite of cloudy weather and slight showers in many sections. This condition and south and southwest winds combined to make Chicago a bakeoven. The air was loaded to the limit with hu midity, which is always the chief cause for heat suffering in the Great Lakes, region. A small classified ad will rent that vacant room.

MINORITY LEADER SCORES LAFFERTY WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. On two separate occasions during the closing hours of Congress Representative Lafferty was made to feel the biting sting of Minority Leader Mann's sar casm and in both instances the chas tisement was well merited, if general applause and undertone) comment is any guide. The member from the Second Ore gon district, criticising Mann for ob jecting to a private bill, declared the member from Illinois could not und erstand what "anyone with a grain of sense ought to understand," and then broke out into a tirade against the minority leader for "appropriating to himself a superior wisdom to that of a committee of this house." The minority leader, in i his most rasping sarcastic tone, replied: "That statement is not true, so that it is not worth answering. I am used tq being abused by some man who has a bill that is rotten." " Later, when Lafferty attempted to call up his bill for the relief of Lewis Montgomery, of Portland, he again charged the minority leader with mis representing the facts and "present ing a half-baked theory in regard to the case." After sarcastically referring to the "undisputed superior wisdom of the member from- the Second Oregon," the minority leader again objected to further consideration of the bill.

A frenzied Swiss soldier, Johann Sch wartz, ran amucS last evening and transformed the little town of Ro manshorn, on Lake Constance, into a miniature battlefield strewn with dead and dying.

He then barricaded himself in his home. When night fell the house was sur rounded by police and citizens, among whom, an hour or so later, a panic broke out when they - heard a shot. The beseigers, under the impression that Schwartz had come among them started firing and shot one another down until a dozen or more of them lay badly wounded on the ground.

It is covered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter were away when the fire started. It was discovered by a neighbor and an alarm was immedi ately sounded.

A sewing machine and several chairs s ere saved. It. is believed that the fire started in a chimney which was defective. The fire was a spec tacular one, and scores of persons living in the neighborhood were arous ed and many assisted in trying to save the household effects of the Baxter's.

GLADSTONE VOTES L The election in Gladstone Saturday to., determine whether the city was to have a high school resulted in the proposition being lost by a vote of 68 to 46.

It is probable that another election will be called to determine whether a tax levy is to be made to provide funds for sending pupils to the Ore gon City High School.
