Disorder and Distress Are Peared After
Oklahoma Opening
THE DROUTH CAUSING SUFFERING
Thousands of Campers Have but Scanty
Batlons More Than One Hundred
Thousand People Are Sure to Be Dis
appointed
FORT SILL July 22 Disorder and
distress will it is feared follow the
actual opening of the Kiowa Comanche
reservation Augut 6 It is estimated
that fully 150000 person will have reg
istered for a chance to secure one of
the 13000 claims to be awarded by
lottery when the registration booths
close July 26
Thousand of perons now on the
reservation who are neither mechan
ics nor artisans and who have little
or no money announce their intention
of settling around Lawton if they fail
to win a claim Campers who came
in prairie schooners by the thousands
generally brought with them provis
ions sufficient only to last from five
to ten days Continued drouth has
caused the water to be restricted and
for days a hot wind has blown over
the prairies and the temperature has
averaged over the 100 mark
With these conditions before them
many are already beginning to grum
ble and when this is followed by dis
appointment over failure to draw a
lucky number the hope that bore many
up will doubtless give way to more
serious conditions

Conservatives and Radicals Lose In
French Elections Councils
PARIS July 22 The election for
the French councils general took place
yesterday throughout the provinces
there being 1455 of these department
al legislators to be chosen in as many
cantons
The importance of the elections lies
in the fact that they serve az a weath
ercock to show the drift of public
opinion regarding the policy of the
central government Although the
Isues involved are purely local the
voting is invariably conducted on strict
party lines Moreover many coun
cillors are also members of the senate
or of the chamber of deputies and
their re election or defeat is indicative
of the view their constituents take of
their parliamentary acts

WASHINGTON D C July 22 The
weather bureau last night issued the
following bulletin
Practically the entire country was

degrees has been equalled but once be
fore on August 12 1881 At Chicago
the maximum of 102 degrees equals
the previous high record of July 10 of
the present year In the states of
Iowa Missouri and Kansas the dura
tion of the present heated term is
without precedent there having been
practically no interruption to temper
atures of 90 degrees or over since June
18 a period of thirty four days On
eighteen days of this period the maxi
mum temperature at Kansas City was
100 degrees or more
There are as yet no indications of

rain has fallen in the corn belt for

scattered local thunder storms which
are always accompanied by protracted
periods of heat may fall at times but
no hope can be entertained at this time
of any general rains or permanent re
