THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DEAD
Intense Suffering In the Large cities
Extent of tUe WareCooler Weather
Predicted
Chicago, July 10. The fierce heat un
der which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered eince the first of
July moderated in many localities to
day, and predictions from the weather
bureau at Washington indicate that a
lower temperature will bring general re
lief within 24 hours. The records of
prostrations and deaths resulting from
the long heated term approaches in mag
nitude that of a general epidemic. Re
ports from all sections of the country re
ceived by the Associated Press ibis eve
ning show that the prostrations number
in the neighborhood of 2000, with fatali
ties close to 350. In addition to this,
there were scores of deaths resulting,
indirectly from the intolerable beat, the
death rate in many of the large cities
showing a fearful increase over previous
years. The Central states suffered more
severely than other sections, the heat be
ing most deadly in Chicago,' Cincinnati
and St. Louis. In the number of fatali
ties, this city heads the list with 87
deaths, Cincinnati and suburban points
reporting 65, and St. Louis 42.
Throughout the South the heat was
intense, but the death rate was much
lower than in the North.

bathing to escape the sizzling rays of the
sun ; six have been driven insane, and a
like number have committed suicide,
while 347 prostratione, more or less ser
ious, have occurred. The health depart
ment shows a great increase in mortal
ity in children, and sufferers from chron
ic diseases. The average number of
deaths for the past three or four days
has almost doubled.

cooler than yesterday, is still very hot,
and prostrations are numerous. The
following deaths were reported during
the day : Joseph Devorak, Thomas Kirk,
child named Chewnnsky, Michael Mo
Laughlin, Thomas Walsh, John Fienal,
Justin Syke and Fred Bender.
This afternoon the heat was broken by
a smart thunder storm. The mercury
in five hours fell 20 deg., and life is once
more worth living. The beat in the
early part of the day caused eight deaths
and 21 prostrations, 11 of them being
serious.

tions during the first five days. Today's
record up to 6 p. m. is: Dead, 14; pros

heat cases.' The emergency wards were
packed this morning. Superintendent

which he will have placed on the hospital
grounds, and will transfer all the heat
cases to them.
At dawn this morning the temperature
was 83 degrees ; at 3 p. m., 94 ; this
evening it was 96 degrees. All sort of
things were promised for tonight, but
they were predicted last night, and the
night before that, and the people have
suffered and died. There are a few
little feathery clouds in the sky tonight,
and an apology for a breeze is coming in
from Kansas where it is hotter than
here but there are no signs of a cooling
storm. This is the 14th day. Men are
sullenly vicious under the strain ; wo
men are hysterical, and children are
covered with prickly heat from neck to
heels.
Fatalities in Kansas City.
Kansas City, July 10. Eight deaths
were directly due. to the extreme heat
which has prevailed in Kansas City dur
ing the past week. Seven of these oc

THE COAL FAMINE IN CLEVELAND.
Price One Dollar Higher Than It Was
Thursday.
Cleveland, O., July 10. The events
of the morning were tbe frantic efforts
of little dealers to secure coal from big
dealers to supply retail customers. The
price of steam coal is now $1 above what
it was Thursday. The demand is be
coming greater every hour, and the sup
ply is constantly, becoming less. Big
operators and manufacturers are begin
ing to consider the strength of the strike,
and today there is consternation among
dealers, marine men, manufacturers and
workingoien in general.
At the breweries and packing-houses
the situation is regarded with general
alarm, as coal must be obtained to pre
vent incalcuable damage to beer and
meats. : ;
A riot occurred in Newburg this after
noon at the Cleveland & Pittsburg ' rail
way depot. A dozen men from Allen
dale, Pa., who arrrived on . the 12 :30
train to take the place of strikers at the
Crescent tinplate mills, were met at the
train by 20 strikers and free fight result
ed in several broken heads. One man
was seriously injured. ''
The Lake Erie Iron Company . will
bring a test case against the Lake Shore
railroad Monday to determine whether
it has a right to confiscate coal.
Charles F. Crocker 111.
San Francisco, July 10. Charles F.
Crocker, vice-president of the Southern
Pacific railroad, has been prostrated by
an apoplectic stroke at his home at San
Mateo. The stroke was so serious that
Dr. Chiemore of this city was summoned
by telephone to the bedside of Crocker
and was taken there by special train.
Subsequently Dr. Matthew Gardiner,
chief surgeon of the Southern Pacific
Company, was summoned to come at
once. A special train conveyed him to
Mr. Crocker's country home.
Dr. Gardiner denied that Colonel
Crocker suffered a stroke of apoplexy.
He said it was only a fainting spell. It
is learned, however, that Crocker is a
very sick man. ,

Deafness Cannot he Cnred
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.'
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by ah inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine casasont often areA caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed' condition' of the' mucous sur
faces ; .: ; - ": .i .'.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deaf ness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured: by Hall'r Catarrh
