July H.-The Wither TJureau's weekly nummary of th cnp condition. hays: "The State of the middle Rocky mountain ar.d Mississippi valley hav- experiences ;n"th'T. the third successive, week of extreme heat. Th maximum temperature over a larp; part of these districts ranged about I'M claliy during the week, many stations reporting from 1"0 to 1 '7. With an almost f ntlr -absrr.f e of rain the crops In the region namd have been uhjcctp'i to mot unfavorable conditions. In the States lying irnm'li itely to the eastward of the Mississippi river very high temperature have also prevailed, but the heat ha? been b:? intent--'! and its effects not so serious as in th districts to the westward. The corn rrop, a a whole, in the Ereat corn States of the central valleys, hau materially deteriorated and ha? sustained jktIouf Injury over the western portion of the corn belt, especially in Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. A very large part of the rrop is late, however, and this hau withstood the trying condition of drought and heat remarkably well, und. with early rain, will Mill mak a fair crop. This is particularly applicable In Iowa. Nebraska and portions of Kansas and northern Missouri." Th early corn in central and southern Missouri, portion of eastern Kansas. Arkansas and in the central and wcr-t guif States has been Irreparably Injured. In tho upper Ohio valley corn, while needing rain, lias Improved, and in the Atlantic coast districts the 'crop hn rmrie excellent progress. Oats have suffered in common with other crops from he.it and drought in the State? of the central valleys. Ilarvestlnn is now progressing in the more northerly u ction. Haying has been retarded by rains In th New Kngland and middle Atlantic State:, but ha made good progress In the Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys. The yield will be very light In the States of the Missouri and central Mississippi valley, but a good crop Is generally indicated In the lake region, upper Ohio valley and extreme Northwest. CONDITIONS IN KANSAS. Not MiioiisIi Itnln linn Fallen to In mire the? Crop. TOTE K A. Kan.. July K While rain has fallen during the past twenty-four hours in various part 3 of Kansas, the drought is not yet broken and little benefit has been experienced by the crops. The rains have been local showers and their only effect has been to cool the atmosphere and freshen vegetation. The refreshing breeze from the south to-day made the weather more bearable than any during the past month. Two places in the State report a temperature of 107, but the average has been about W. Reports of blighted crops continue to come in. A hopeful tone pervades most of the reports, however. In the Cistern division -of the State crops are suffering more than In any other. The damage done in the central part f less severe, while in the western part the conditions aro the most lavorable. The corn crop Is not the only thing at stake. To obtain water for stock and for fire protection Is a much studied problem, and one that will not be solved until the coming of rain. Previous estimates of half a rop of corn this year will still hold good In case more rain comes within the present week. Late apples have been hurt but little, while peaches are damaged more and small fruits have failed almost entirely. rnAYKic ron haix. Speclnl Service Held nt Omnhii, Led by n Noted KiiKliah Divine. OMAHA, Neb., July 16.-1 he Rev. F. Morton Smith, the noted Kngllsh evangelist, who Is conducting revival services in the citle3 of the West, to-night led a congregation of several hundred people In prayers for a rain which will prevent business annihilation in the corn belt. An Immense tent was erected at Twenty-first and Spencer streets. In a small park located In the heart of the residence district, and in this were seated hundreds of members of the City congregations. About the tent, the Ide walls of which were raised, was massed a crowd of citizens of all classes and all relljrlourf faiths, partaking in the exercises and lifting thlr voices In unison In repeating the solemn, powerful invocation spoken by the eminent divine. So Impressive were the services and so deeply supplicating were the prayers that a general expression of belief was heard that the Invocation would be answered with a downpour In time to save the crops and prevent disaster.

CLEVELAND. July 16 Cleveland went to pieces In the last Inning and presented the game to Boston. Young was hit hard in the ninth inning, and it was only through sensational fielding that he won out. Because of several decisions a crowd followed Umpire Manassau after the game, and pelted him with cushions and pop bottles, and it was pnly through the interference of the Cleveland players that he was not mobbed.

MllIcrfthurR- Man Im the Inventor, nnd It la Snld to He a Very Complete and Effective Device. South Bend (Ind.) Tribune.. A new voting machine Is being built in this city which will be completed In a few days and placed on exhibition. The ma chine Is simple in construction and promises to be not only the best but the cheap est voting machine now on the market. The arrangement was invented and patent ed by F. M. Myers, of Millersburg, Ind. The machine reduces the Australian sys tem of voting to a mathematical science, does Its own counting, makes Its own tally sheet and exhibits the result immediately after the polls are closed. All possibilities of a fraud are eliminated by the perfected arrangement of the mechanism of the ma chine. The machine, or three machines In one case, represent the three different tickets of the Australian ballot system, the state, the county and the township tickets, and any person who ever voted would have no difficulty in operating the machine. Provision is made for seven different parties In the field, and an opportunity Is also given a voter to vote for a man whose name may not be 'on any of the tickets, and also for constitutional amendments. The name of the ticket, the emblem of the party and the name of each candidate appears on the front or face of the machine. In place of a square at the head of the ticket or at the side of the name of each candidate a knob or lever projects below the names, and In pulling It down the vote Is registered. To vote a straight ticket the knob at the head of thejtlcke,t is .pulled down and a vote is cast for each candidate on that ticket by virtue-of the mechanism of the machine. When the straight ticket lever is down every other lever in the machine is locked and cannot be operated. In voting a split ticket the knobs for the different candidates a voter wishes to vote for are pulled down and the vote Is recorded on a dial on the back of the machine, the knobs being levers to a double rächet, which revolves when the knob Is pulled down. There are two dials, a small one with numbers up to 40 and a larger one with numbers up to 600. By adding the two numbers the total reult is shown. When the split ticket Is. voted -the straight ticket knobs are locked tho moment one of the other levers are. operated, and when one candidate for an office It) voted for all the other knobs for the same office on the other tickets are locked, thereby making it utterly Impossible for frauds to be perpetrated or mistakes made. After a vote Is cast a shift key on the side releases the levers and the machine Is ready for another voter. RESULT SOON KNOWN. When the polls are opened In the morning the back of the machine is locked and the keys handed to the election Inspectors. A proper official will operate the shift key releasing the lever or knobs after the vote is recorded. When the polls are closed the front of the machine is locked so that the knobs cannot be operated and 4he doors concealing the record of the votes are unlocked and the result recorded on the tally sheet, which need not be larger than the official ballot. The result can be made known In a verv short time after the polls close. All that is necessary is to add to the number of straight votes cast for a ticket the number of individual votes of each candidate and the return is ready. Mr. Myers thought out the idea a year ago and went to work on a model, which he whittled out in wood with his pocket knife, with the exception of a few steel pins. He made four models before he secured the one desired. He had his invention protected by patent Jan. 2. 1&)1. Edward Buysse, a Jeweler, Is building the machine by hand and with some assistance given by Mr. Myers has been working nearly two months on It. The parts are all constructed with the accuracy of clock work. A company composed of the inventor, his two brothers. B. A. and J. D. Myers, of Mlllersburp. Ind.. and O. C. Sabin, of Chicago, has been formed, with a capital stock of $20.000 and will soon file articles of Incorporation. It i? the intention to secure dies for the cutting of the mechanism of the machine, which is -for the most part of brass and steel and locate a factory for the manufaeture of the machine for the present at Millersburg. The company will have things in shape for the next State election and expects to have a number of machines In use at that time. After the machines are ready for operation they will be legalized by the government. A set of machines, which Includes the three tickets will be worth between $300 and $400. Each division is 24x3S inches and weighs about sixty pounds. The machines are inclosed In an antique oak case. On the start the company will put out an average of a machine a day. but will be equipped so that if occasion demands it the capacity can be increased to ten machines a day. SINKING IN THE SOUND.

Ten thousand people saw Eleata, a fou.-year-old black mate, bred on the Palo Alto farm In California and owned by ex-Senator Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, win the $10,000 Merchants' ani Manufacturers' stake for 2:24-class trotters at the Grosse Pointe track this afternoon and lower the record for the race from 2:104 to 2:0S. In the early auctions Eleata brought $11 to $200 for the field, but when the first heat was called she was bringing $50 to $3. Neva Simmons was second choice In the betting, but could not get better than third place in the race. Another record was broken in the 2:08 trot, when The Monk forced Boralma to go the last heat In 2:07,i, lowering his mark threefourths of a second. Fifteen horses answered the starter's bell when the first heat of the Merchants' and Manufacturers was called, and It was a hard field to get off. Neva Simmons had the pole, but she broke before the first turn, and Eleata took the lead as they turned for the back stretch and held It to the wire. Neva Simmons took second In this heat by splendid trotting on the back stretch, after Driver Price had got her on her feet again. Eleata was in front all the way In the second heat, although Country J. made a strong bid in the stretch. Going steady as a clock, the black mare took the third heat in record time and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers as she came under the wire, with Driver Marsh looking back and shaking his head at the others, six to ten lengths In the rear. Of the stake, $2.0 is held out for the Consolation stake Thursday, and the remainder, with the added money, will go as follows: Eleata, $5.S50; Country J., $3,230; Neva Simmons, $1.300. This is the first time since Emma Offufs victory in lSf6 that the Merchants' and Manufacturers' has been won in straight heats. Xava opened favorite In the 2:20 pace, nnd in the first heat led up to the stretch, where a break gave the heat to Helen D. The latter mare had all the speed In the next two heats and won the race. In the 2:16 pace Winfield Stratton opened favorite at $50. to $26 for the field. He was still a 2-to-l favorite after losing the first heat to Braden, which won the second heat and race from Capt. Potter after a fierce drive In the stretch. Boralma was a prohibitive favorite in the last event of the day. the 2:0S trot. The Monk broke badly at the start of the first heat and just got Inside tho flag, but in the second made Boralma go under his record to win.

CHICAGO, July 16. Abe Frank proved what a good two-year-old he is to-day by winning the Edgewater stakes almost In a gallop from the best youngsters at Washington Tark, with the exception of Endurance by Right. When Abe Frank ran away three miles on last Thursday after his jockey fell off at the post, It was feared by many the colt was seriously and perhaps permanently Injured. To-day he showed none of the effects of his accident. The other star feature of to-day's racing was the handicap, at a mile and an eighth. which was won by Advance Guard. The report that the two-year-old colt Brannigan was dead is a mistake. The colt is sick, but still alive. To-day's winners: Approved. 13 to Ö; Leo Newell, 5 to 2: Abe Frank, 3 to 5; Advance Guard. 7 to 2; Sly. 10 to 1; Scotch Plaid, 11 to 10. "Winner nt Other Tracks. NEW YORK.
