TORTURED BY THE HEAT
St. Louis Breaks Record With 1903
Louisville With 1917.
UP TO 1914 EVEN IN ST. PAUL.
Slight Rains Again Give a Little Relief in
Scattered Localities, But the End is
Not Yet in Sight.

/ Washington, July 25.--In the great
corn belt the intense heat continues.
The maximum temperature line of
100 degrees yesterday again encircled
the Upper Mississippi Valley, the
Lower Missouri Valley and the Mid
die and Lower Ohio Valley The hot
wave continues from the Atlantic
to the Pacific except on the immedi-
ate Pacific Coast and in the Upper
Lake Region.
Scattered thunder showers in the
northern tier of States in the Central
West gave some relief to parts of that
locality. These showers, which gem
orally were light in character fell in
the Dakotas, Southern Minnesota,
Northwestern Iowa, the extreme nor
thern part of Illinois in Minnesota
and in Michigan. More showers over
wider area are expected by the
Weather Bureau today. Their effect
will be temperorary, and hot weather
is predicted for Friday
There seems to be no immediate
prospects for general rain, but the
fact that showers are becoming more
plentiful than for some days is en-
couraging to the officials here. For
showers are today Indicated for the
REGION fom the Dakotas eastward and
there is a possibility of rain in Neb-
raska, Iowa, Northern Illinois. Nor
thern Indiana and Northern Ohio
Such rain falls as occurred yester-
day and were officially reported to
the Weather Bureau we're none of
the heavy the greatest precipitation
being at Marquette and Green Bay,
Mich, the rainfall in neither case
reaching half an inch. AT Chicago
the precipitation amounted to hpt
trace. and there were slight showers
at New Orleans, Salt Lake City and
Vicksburg.

SLEEP WALKER FATALLY HURT.
Fell From Second story window While
In n SomnambuIistfc state.

Winchester, Va, July 25.-As re-
suit of walking in her sleep Mrs.
William II. Hoover, of Winchester, is
dying from injuries rece ived by fall
ing from the second story of her resi-
dennce. Mrs. How're had been suff-
ering with toothache and late at
night took a sedative which induced
sleep.
Early yesterday morning, while in
a somnamhulistic state, she arose, it
is thought. and went to the window.
1t is believed she climbed through
the window and fell to the steps of
the porch below, distance of twenty
feet.
None of the family saw the acct
dent, but several were awakened by
Mrs. Hoover groans. Her skull was
fractured and she was injured intern
ally. She has been unconscious
since the accident and her death is
momentarily expected.
