In a Irutj store where an electric fan ytands at th. fountain and a siri In the window read? "Iiei-iw zro at our fountain" the temperature- was lJ degrees above zero. One of the bureau observers, to convince a man that he was- not getting; all the pun's hat, put a thermometer down on the stone entrance to the M;j-.-tic building. In a few minutes th thermometer re.!tfred degrees. At the same time the thermometer on top of the Majestic building registered I'd. The man thought the difference b' tween the temperature shown on the prround and that five feet above would not be great enough to make any appreciable difference, and he was hardly convinced. People Rene rally took care of themselves, and the result was only a few prostration. There were, however, many persons who felt the effects of the heat and eiuit work, but were rot affected enough to require medical attention. There did not seem to be any great cessation of business, but people kept off the street when they had no business' there. IIOKSKS SUFFERED. Horses suffered greatly, and many of them were to be seen dragging themselves and their loads down the streets and. apparently, ready to drop from exhaustion. "W. S. McMillen, member of the Hoard of Safety, was at police headquarters Insisting that district patrolmen be given Instructions to especially watch, during the heated term, horses hitched to delivery wagens and drays, the drivers of which sometimes leave them for hours In the sun. unprotected, and then, after they have enjoyed thi shade of some saloon or the business house, drive the helpless animais at hard epeed through the streets, without thought of their probable suffering. He said he had been making a special study of such cases during the last few days and had himself Induced and compelled more than one driver to unhitch his horse and put it into shelter from the sun. He said his wife was also much interested in the matter . and takes great pleasure in calling up the firms employing drivers who abuse their delivery horses by neglect and hard elriving and adVising them of the facts which come under her observation. One man. who was unusually neglectful of his team, was discharged through her Interest. Mr. McMillen said people generally should look after such things and not leave animals to suffer without being able to protest, until they dropped dead or helpless to the pavement.. He said If persons would, when they saw pitch things, report the cases to the firms owning the animals they would no doubt eee that the evils were corrected. TWO DEATHS AND PROSTRATIONS. The denths ar.d prostrations resulting from the e:eesive heat were soon matters of news, and people generally took warning and kept- inside as much as possible. Indianapolis has been particularly fortunate in the matter of deaths and prostrations by sunstroke, yesterday being the first day when such casts resulted Immediately. One death occurred several days ago, but it was after an Illness of several days induced, it was thought, by the heat. Mrs. Mary Askrem. a widow, upon returning to her home at 511 East Merrill street from a visit to friends on Blake street about 11 o'clock yesterday morning became violently ill. Her daughter, Mrs. Fred Danke, with whom she lived, called Dr. E. C. Thomas, who found her temperature exceeding the limits of his clinical thermometer, which will register as high as 110 degrees. Mrs. Askrem suffered great agony and gradually grew worse. Dr. Thomas culled another physician for consultation, but there was no hope for her recovery and she died about 1 o'clock. Mrs. Askrem was thirty-nine years of age and leaves one son and her elaughter, Mrs. Danke. She was employed as a cook in a restaurant and was not accustomed to being in the sun. The second death was that of John SwerInger. a bartender for We 3 Stout in his ealoon on West Market street. He was overcome about noon in Military Park. He was found there unconscious on the frrouml and was hurried to the City Hcspital, where he died without having recovered consciousness. AMBULANCE KEPT DUSY. The City Dispensary ambulance was sent to 316 I2ast Washington street for Ed Miller, a driver for the Indianapolis bottling works, who had been overcome by the heat and carried into the house at that number. Before the ambulance arrived he had been taken to his home at 500 South Alabama rtrcet by a friend v ho called a carriage. His condition was said to be serious, but not dangerous. Henry Tiivan, a colored hod carrier, fell upon the street at Washington and Illinois streets about noon, overcome by the heat. He was sent to his home. .3 Emmett street. In the City Dispensary ambulance-. Ills condition was serious, but it was thought he would recover. John Foster, a machinist at the Prightwood shops, was overcome by heat while at work and was sent home. He will recover. He live at 71 Wett New YorK street. At the fame shop two painters, whose names were not known. w re taken from their work In a fainti:;.-? condition about J o'cleck. At the Atlas engine works twelve men, whose names could not be learned, weie obliged to leave tluir work and go home. iorr.e of them were seriously ill. Dlcyele Policeman Thomas (Jrillin, while making a run to West Washington street, beraube of a fight, was overcome so that he was unable to look after the case. A rer,t revived him su;üeientl so that ho was able to return to headquarters. Hal Reed, of the Indian apolls News, was overcome in the afternoon while rlJing in a bugy.

These were Springfield. 111., and Des Moines, la., where the maximum was IO'j. Four cities "had the same temperature as Indianapolis, and four others reported 101. Three Mailers showed 1-J2 degrees, and three others 1' degrees. There Is said to be no appreciable change in the distribution of the air pressure, and consequently there Is no relkf In sight, except that which may result temporarily frum thunderstorms. The drop of 5 degrees in the thorrnorneier lart evening was slid to be due to a thunderstorm at Cincinnati. The :','ju Is from which Cincinnati received Its rain were to te s. n in the south lit evening, and many persons were hopeful that rain was in "sight." There were a number of Malions in the Wst which reported rainstorms, but they were all of h-rt- duration and lacking in quantity. Th weather bureau during the last few days has rnude no effort to give the limits of the tempr-ratui e, and the foecast. has be-n. and is for to-day for "continued fair and warm weather." It was said last night there rras no wiy of telling whether or not it would te as hot to-day as yesterday.

Even Wnppexilinnw Surprineri. The temperature yesterday was a surprise to everyone, even Observer Wappenhanr. as it exceeded by live elegrees the maximum temperature shown l:i the records of the offiee for thirty-one years, ever since the oltice was efened. This maximum temperature was lul degrees ard is of record fur July 10. ISM. Aug. L. lwl. and Aug. P5. Several times iaring July and August of different ynrs the mercury has stood at l'.j decrees, but nev r exce pt the three times mentioned has it passed that mark. PREVIOUS HE:(III)5 SMASHED. Wcntlicr Ilurenu's Review of Condition Throughout the Country. WASHINGTON. July 22. One hundreddegree temperatures were common throughout the great corn belt to-day, according to reports to the Weather Bureau here. In various places in Illinois, Iowa and other States, all previous heat records were smashed. There appears to be no prospect of decided relief from those exhausting conditions for the next two days at least, except such as may come from the alwayspresent possibility of scattered thunderstorms which are predicted for some portions of the superheated area. To-day dry thunderstorms, unaccompanied by rain, prevailed In several sections of the Westhundreds of miles apart. They temporarily ceoled the atmosphere but brought no relief to the famishing crops. Absolutely no rain fell In the corn belt according to the official reports received here. In western Iowa it was a trlile cooler to-day, while in the central portion vi the State it was warmer. There Is a little belt of high pressure over the great lakes anel another over the south Atlantic coast line, but It offers no prospect of relief in the West sf long as the continued low pressure remains in the Northwest. The w.um weather again wuj general throughout the entire country, except on the Pacific coast. In the East the temperature, while high, did not approach anywhere the extremes prevailing in the West, and a recurrence of the hot wave of two weeks ago is believed to be unlfkely in the Atlantic coast region. Thunderstorms have continued frrtrn the south Atlantic coast wesiwarel into Arizona and a continuation of them is predicted for the South and Southwest. -. TWO DEATHS i'KOM HEAT.

We call attention to the advantages that the Indiana Oil Company offers to investors. Among the different oil companies organized, and whose stock has been largely taken by Indiana people, none present as advantageous a proposition. Write for a prospectus, which cites in detail the plan of the Company and the unparalleled success of all other companies in the Kern River districts of California. Every one of these companies, while selling their stock at a price far below the par value, have been able, as soon as four wells were in operation, to find a ready market for all stock that was for sale, at par, and in very many cases they have been able to sell it at many times its face value. The reason for this is plain: No prospector in this field has ever struck a dry hole, or one that did not produce at least 300 barrels a day. It is needless to say that an opportunity of this kind is seldom offered, as lands that are capable of such production are immediately gobbled up by wealthy syndicates and exploited for their own benefit. A majority of the Directors of this Company visited this field early in its history and obtained options on lands that could be sold at the present time for many times the prices at which they were purchased. We cite the history of all investments with other companies in this field to prove that your investment will make most satisfactory returns end increase in value many fold during the development of the Company. We are confident that we will pay quarterly or semiannual dividends within six months from the first of August. We offer only a limited amount of this stock at 20 cents on the dollar.

Slight showers fell thU evening in the region ahout. Pottawatomie county, and some in Greenwood county. Lyon county had a good rain. The larger part of the State, however, is still parched bv the terrible heat. Like breaths from a furnace the hot air swept across the Kansas farms to-day, more completely blighting the seared corn and other suffering vegetation. In some parts of the State the temperature was as nigh as with considerable humidity. The most hopeful estimate of the probable corn yield has fallen from half a crop to a quarter of a crop. Many counties report a total loss. 10O Degrees Wn Cool-L.ile. ST. LOUIS, July 22. The terrible heat which broke all records in the State oP Missouri Sunday continued to-day.
