SUNDAY A RECORD BREAKER
Thermometers About Town SCARED
Way up in the Hundreds.

In the memory Of the oldest inhabi-
tant there is NOT on record day il
which was experienced such sitting
heat such as was handed down to peo-
pie OF this locality sunday.
The burning suns rays were famed
by blistering hot wind that felt TO
one facing it ike draft from a fiery
furnace. Early in the morning the
mercury commenced to climb upwards
and continued to rise until about 5
p. m, when it descended slowly.
Thermometers about town recorded
all the way from LOG to 40 in the
shade.
Lancaster was not the only city
that suffered however. Throughout
the entire middle west similar con-
ditions prevailed and deaths and
prostrations from the circulating
heat were reported on every hand.
The effects of the whitening wind
upon vegetation was as severe as
against man and beast and the little
green portion left was badly Drowned.
Unless relief in shape of rain comes
within a week the loss to farmers
will be difficult to estimate. Their
hopes now center alone on the corn
crop which is not past saving proyid-
ing showers Of blessing descend
soon
