sudden Cold snap.
just as the people of Topeka became
reconciled to the sahara like weather to
which they had been treated for the past
three weeks, they found themselves
shivering in -eezing rain.
Many were caught out on the streets
in summer regalia and as they rushed
for their homes to lay aside light under
clothes and straw hats they wondered
whether they would be able to escape
freezing.
The sky was over-spread with grey 6y-
ing clouds all morning. At 9 o'clock
few heavy black clouds appeared in the
western horizon. They d not look sus-
piciOus, and people paid but little atten-
ton to them. they contin ued to multi
ply until they drove out the grey ones.
The air became murky.
Al 1880 there was change noticeable
in the northwest. The clouds began to
tumble over each other. In a moment
more furious gale descended. 1t bent
the tall trees until their tops almost
touched the ground. It caught um brellas
and twisted them out of their owners
hands aud carried them far beyond their
shelter. The wind blew with icy GOODNESS.
At 1920 the mercury stood at 80 In
fifteen minutes il was at 81, and in half
an hour at so. Then rain commenced to
fall. The rain only continued for short
time. but the wind blew chilling cold
until nightfall.
The conditions we're excellent for
heavy frost and thoughtful women COW
cred up their flowers. but the weather
of III f.u h.
was scarcely percepsible on the high
ground.
In the bottom along the river and
Shunganunga, vines of all kinds were
killed Probably some damage was done
to the tomato and sweet potato crops.
Sergeant Jennings says that the mini
mum temperature in Topeka was 40 de-
grees, and that was at o'clock this
morning. At Dodge City the frost was
great deal heavier and all vegetation
was killed. The minimum tenn perature
there was 30 degrees. At Pueblo Col,
it was %. The frost extended all over
Kansas and through the northern states.
The Topeka school Of Physical Cul-
ture.
The physicians of Topeka endorse this
school and recommend its beneficial work
to the women and children of the city
Topeka, Kan, Sept f. 1895.
We, the undersigned physicians of the
city of Topeka, commend to the women.
and children of this community the
Topeka School of Physical Culture" for
the healthful benefits to be gained in
that institution. The propristors of this
we'll conducted school do not claim to be
a mighty cure-sll; but they do claim
that the carefully studied physical train
ing given there is one of the strOn est
and surest agencies in securing and pre-
serving health, strength and grace of
bod; and that claim We heartily endorse
The great value of this scientific and
progressive physical training, when
given intelligenuy, is leyond question.
This careful and systematic exercise and
development of every part of the body
must yield the most desirable physical
benefits.
From our personal knowledge of this
school, of its equipment, of its manage
ment, of its teachers and of its work
during the past two years, we recommend
it as a superior one and worthy of the
patronage of those who need and desire
this training.
