II.
The citizen who arose this morning
feeling that he had passed reslful and
comfortable night was the exception
rather than the rule. The average hu,
man IN Rock Island crawled out of an
uneasy couch and he might have used q
great big I'd" if any one had made casual
mention of the weather in his prese nee.
And 1t was certainly a terrible night: il
is not probable that the inhabitants of
Rock Island ever passed through tough
er ordeal. Sleep was impossible, and if
a breeze stirred between the retiring hour
last. evening and the rising hour this
morning, the person who felt it has
been guilty of gross and uupar-
donable negligence in not boxing
it up as dime museum curiosity. This
morning an oppressive and sweltering
humanity was met by the promise of
another day of oppressive heat; the hot
breath from the lorrid zone had not yet
been switched off and a suffering people
must staud another day Of it.
