A couple of ball players were practicing yesterday after noon on Washington street, whea one of them. who was standing in front of Lunds drug store, made an exception ally good throw. The ball passed the other man. ran through crowd stand ing on the corner of Washington and First streets without hitting any one, and bored round. smooth hole through glass In the cellar window on the west side of Heyman's front. landing in a pile of crockery in the basement.
 THE LINGERING SUMMER. The weather yesterday was about as warm as it has been at any time during the season. According to the weather bu- r-au thermometer 1t was two degrees below the record. l12. but higher hu- midity rendered the heat more unpleas- ant. According to several unofficial thermometers the record of the hottest day by the same thermometers was broken. It was after all not an un- pleasant day. It is not often that the latter August days have been as warm as they are this year. The nights. though. are cool and pleasant. as they always are at this season. They give strength and courage for the next day S struggle.

It was ten o'clock before the eX- petition returned to camp. The mem. bers were cold. clammy and hungry The coldness and clamminess were mostly manifested toward Major Elwell
