the worst day for heat that struck Kansas.
There may have been days when the sun felt hotter
when the hot winds were more oppressive, and even
when the thermometer ranged higher; but for down
right, solid heat, that penetrated every nook and
corner, where the could not reach nor the wind

hot that they almost burned the touch. The earth

~ The of Thomas Knowles, charged with
producing abortion upon Laura Sberrell, causing
her death, account Of which was given last week,
heard before Justice Trevett, at Highland, on
Monday. After examining number Of witnesses,
and getting at all the evidence possible both real
and circumstantial, nothing elected to justify
committing Knowles, and he discharged. Ii is
the general belief that the dec aased herself produc
ed the abortion. Ii said that she Ind done the
same thing on a former occasion, and had expressed
a determination do so in the recent instance. No
one would harbor associate with her. in the neigh
borhood where she died and there is Doubt that,
after producing the abortion she died from want Of
attention and care.
