sunstroke. Such is the record for the
day in this city, bringing tine total since
Saturday night up to fourteen. The
heat today has becOmse so intense that
Chicago people vino are not absolutely
tied to their homes have determined to
avoid the prospect of fatality by fleeing
to some resort where life will be made
endurable. The earliest toilers telt the
oppreSsivenesS in the morning, and hour
by hour the oppressiveness increased
as the thermometer rose. At it regis
tered so deg; in two hours it ran up
three more degrees, and Kept on climb
ing up hour by hour until at o'clock it
had reached "a deg.
There was not breeze to relieve the
extreme and Overpowering character of
the day. ANY slight breath of wind
which was felt was more like sudden
blast from furnace than the usually
cooling blow from the lake. The inces-
SAINT clang of the ambulance wagon bell
told its tale of suffering. The hospitals
were crowded with those who sue
cumbed to the sitting atmosphere. and
for many of them there is little chance
of recovery. Those who are in un-
wholesome work, those who were weak
or battling with illness, young or old.
are dying from the weakness produced
by the torrid wave. There is at present
no prospect for cooler weather, while
there is a fear that the heat may in
crease.

Casualties Everywhere.
The weather throughout this state and
Iowa has been even worse than it has
been here. The atmosphere has been
so sitting at every point that outdoor
work has practically become impossible,

been reported. but the casualties have
been so numerous that doctors are kept
as busy as If the dreaded grip had sud-
denly made its appearance. Over the
state of Iowa the same condition pre-
walls. The highest nnint registered
