DROUGHT IN KANSAS. uorn Urop on verge or uestruction ana Grass Parched Up. Kansas City, Mo, July 12.?No rain fell today in any part of the draught stricken district, including all of Kansas, western Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Over much of this region this was the worst day of the long hot spell, the temperature being more than 100 degrees, and no breeze stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that, even with rain, the yield will be short, and as the weather bureau gives no hope of relief, the outlook is discouraging. At some places in Kansas there has been no rainfall whatever for nearly three months. The present is the worst drought since 18G0, when New England sent food to the settlers of Kansas. However, Kansas farmers are harvesting one of the largest crops of wheat, if not the largest, in the history of the State. A gaeat many counties send word that, with rain, corn will be half a crop: without rain soon, no yield. A few say there is yet hope for a fair harvest. Hay sold this morning for $20 a ton?one cent a pound?the highest price ever reached in this market. This is almost as much, pound for pound, as wheat is worth. Receipts were very smell. In numerous places there is no pastarage: and owners of cattle are shipping hay to their farms. Alfalfa has yielded well everywhere, and will uc tuc oaivauuu ui luoluj iaiuic;o. During the past five days 110,000 hogs have been received at the stock yards, breaking al! records; these heavy shipments are due to the scarcity of corn. In Audrain county, Mo., young calves worth 85 a few days ago are offered atSl a head. Heartburn. When the quantity of food taken is tco large or the quality too licb, heartburn is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested toed. Masticate tne icoa thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between meals and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, indicating that you have eaten too much, take one of Chamberlain's Stomach aod Liver Tablets and the heartburn may be avoided.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.?In i order to save the life of a pig Hiram Johnson and Miss Matilda Parkin- j j sod were married today by Alderman 1 i ConehaD, of this city, whote repula! tion as a Solomon is thereby en- j i hanced. Miss Parkinson appealed to him | the other day for jastice. She said , that Hiram Johnson, who owned a j farm Bext to hers at Hudson, had I stolen the pig from her. She also j said that they had known each other ; for years and were always good friends. I When the squire sent for Johnson j he said the pig was his and he could prove it. As neither would yield : Alderman Conehan had the hearing 1 today. Each arrived with several i witnesses who swore the pig belonged to one or the other, and, as the j evidence of each side was of equal ' weight, the alderman made a decision worthy of his reputation. He said : the pig should be killed and then divided equally. Both Miss Parkinson and Johnson | objected strenuously that the pig : was not old enough to kill, and be- j sides it was a dear, little pig, etc. J There was no settlement in eight, j ? -3 it- - ) -!? 1_J :l: l?_ I ana me tqire buggebieu, bmuiugij; ''Why don't you marry and keep ; the pig in the familj?

About twenty colored soldiers who wen- from this place to the Philip- ' nines about two vears ar?o. returned I l -~y C3 ? I to Darlington last Saturday and j Monday. There are still about j thirty more to come, makiDg fifty in i all. They sailed from Manila June 2 j and came to the United States by ! way of Japan, taking the Northern j route from there to San Fancisco. While they were cfi the Alaskan ' coast the weather was cold enough | for overcoats and blankets. The j soldiers have been interesting their friends since their return with tales j of their adventures, and, judging from their statements, one would j come to the conclusion that they found the Philippine Islands a fine country to live in. They liked the people and had a good time, with a T l l _ - _ i_ J iL! a_ J _ Ti pienty to eat ana noming to uo. At is probable that a number cf them will enlist in the army again in the hope that they may get back to the j Philippines.

Whereupon the youth cast tne condemned articles from him and threw himself upon the mourners bench to ! : repent, while cne of the principal ! ' pillars of tho church stole off into the ! < woods and rescued the hat. When ! J asked why he could wear an article ' 1 which was too wicked for the young j man, he replied: 1 "Why, yo' sees, mistis, I'se got !
