A HEATED CITY.

ST. Louis Times, 1Gth
Another day of heated term, for appall-
ing effect unprecedented, has passed away,
and the sun rises this morning to resume
with even greater intensity work of pain,
suffering and sore distress upon commune
ty sickencd beyond endurance by the con-
tinuous blaze and broil and stew Of the past
week.
The ordeal to which St. Louis is exposed
at this time can only be thoroughly under
stood by careful pe1usal of the fatality
columns, which furnish an accurate account
of all the cases of sunstroke and attendant
atliction brought to the notice Of the board
of health and police authorities every hour
during the day.
The terrible list speaks for itself, aud
but one conclusion can be reached in this
hour of city's distress: that unless a
change speedily sets in, the death will not
be counted daily by the two or three score,
but by the thousands. The highest mortal
ity rate was reached yesterday, when forty.
five burial permits were issued, all the cases
having resulted from overhead.
Apart from the fatal cases are those which
have been treated with partial success
by the medical men, and under that head
ing several hundred have to be added to
the list of yesterday s distresscs. Inprivate
residences, stores, banks, hotels, in the shade
of warehouses, the victims of the terrible
heat were found yesterday stricken down to
the border Of death. On the public streets
men and women fell like cattle before the
boiling sun, and the ambulance wagons
were to be seen at every corner removing
PROSTATE forms to the dispensary.
The physicians throughout the city have
their hands full attending upon the sick at
their homes and at the public departments
the doctors, nurses and assistants are doing
noble work. Indeed, nothing is left un.
done at the dispensary and the hospital to
restore the victims of the blood fever, and
the excellent system pursued saves the lives
of hundreds smitten by the sun.
To-day the turning point is expected to
and fear for the developments of the next
