Intense heat continues, but tho weather
man makes a vague proviso of rain.
Tho rerun! of deaths and prostrations to
tbo current twenty-four hours Is not so
frightful ns for tbo preceding day yet bad
enough.
Remarkable Is a city like Omaha, whero
the percentago of mortality from all causes
Is notably below the average.
In several Instances other Infirmities have
contributed to tho fato of victims, yet th
doctors say the heat Is primarily re
spouslblo.
How much longer these torrid conditions
are to continue, the government weather
observer will not even hazard a guess.
Even though the suggestion of rain
materializes, there Is no assurauco of more
than temporary relief.
Up in thu northwest tho source of
weathor Indications for respite from" heat
aro not promising.
Jiut con though the temperature re
mains high, Heeling patches of cloud
within tho lust twenty-four hours havo
been the source of some consolation.
At 3 yesterday the government thermom-.
etur registered 102 degrees.
All Over the Country.
Records wero broken again Monday In
reports from all parts of tho country. The
corn nnd wheat stations reporting to St
Louis, which on Sunday showed an average
maximum of 108 degrees, Monday went
that record 2 degrees higher. Tho maxi
mum of 108 degrees In tho Omaha district
was maintained and no station within the
district showed less than 101 degrees. There
wero traces of rain at Tccumseh, Neb., and
Storm Lake, la., and Falrbury and Carroll,
la., reported partly cloudy weather, but
Aside from this every station reported clear
weather.
The hottest places In the United States
shown ou the map Monday were Oes Moines
la., and Miles City, Mont., which reported
a temperature of 108 degrees. Omaha, and
that proverbially hot place, Phoenix, Ariz.,
showed Identical maximums of 104 degrees
Bismarck, N. D., and Sioux City ehowed
the same "degree of heat. St. LouIb ex
ceeded this by 2 degrees, as did also Kan
sas City. Davenport showed a temperature
of 102 degrees, while Dubuque and Valcn
tine, Neb., reported nn even 100.
"Tho only encouraging thing in the
present condition Is that there Is moro
probability of local tbundcrntorms today
than yesterday," said Forecaster Welsh.
"I cannot see any prospects of permanent
relief out of tho existing conditions, as It
,Is higher everywhere In tho northwest."
The rain which was predicted for Omaha
and eastern Nebraska yesterday afternoon
did not materialize. However, there wero
Indications of rain.
And In these days of brazen skies even a
symptom of rain gives rise to hope.
Reports received at the government
weather bureau last night told of rain at
North Platto and vicinity, also a copious
downpour at soveral points In Texas.

NEW YOKK, July 23. Prof. Koch of Uer

from his discovery that bovine tuberculosis
Ii not transmissible to the human systei.
Tho famous bactcrologlst in an Interview
made the statement that ho hns demon
strated that meat and milk tuberculosis
Infected cattle may be consumtd with abso
lute Impunity.
Dr. Allen F. Halght of Chicago, the ofllelal
representative of the American Medical as
sociation, said. "If I had not heard I'rof,
toca quietly announce bis discovery In
private conversation It would hao seemed
iu mo aosoiuteiy incredible. I can only
sy in.il ur. Koch Is too profound a student
nnd has too much reputation at stake to
promuigato such a proposition unless con
vinced of Its soundness beyond tha ohudow
or a doubt. If he is able to 'heorellcally
dcmonstrnlo his claims the sanitary systems
of the world'' will bo shaken to the very
roois. ino word revolution but falutly ex
presses what tho discovery will precipi
tate." English experts talked of the theory with
mingled astonishment and contempt and as
serted that the German professor would
encounter stubborn dobato and learned dis
proof of hlB "mad Idea."
Dr. Reynolds, health commissioner of
Chicago, when Informed of I'rdf. Koch's
theory said.
"The discovery Is certainly of tho highest
Importance, especially in regard to milk.
As far as meal Is concerned, I never be
lieved It contained elements or danger when
cooked, hence the announcement has com
paratively les significance for tho civilized
people's of the world. As to milk taken In
Its natural state, It Is a different proposi
tion. Whllo probably nobody Is desirous of
drinking tho milk of tuberculosis cows, yot
a great discovery would bo made If It can
bo used with Impunity."

the presentation to King Edward yestorday
by somo American women of the hospital
hip Maine committee of a modal commcmo.
ratlvo of tho Maine's work, with a request
that the king transmit tho medal to Queen
Alexandra. It seems tho medal was op
posed by a number of Influential persons on
tho ground that the king did not want the
medals, but tho others carried the day.
The king's reply to the delegation which
made the presentation is causing some com
ment, as he thanked this "American com
mittee" for their "loyal dutiful sentiments"
as he did the Kansas legislature In answer
ing their condolences on the queen's death.
