FROST LAST NIGHT.
New Weather RecortI-NIercury Drops
to 81 Here

Again the mercury over the state
took a big drop as a reminder thai
summer is not here and that plant life
| is not secure from the return of the
winter temperatures. A light frost
! prevailed over almost the entire state
though the damage will be but light
and that in the lowland and tracts ad-
/ jacent to bodies of water. This is the
1 latest date at which there has been a
] frost in Kansas.
At this point the temperature drop
ped to 81 which is several degrees
higher than, at other points in the
state and the frost while plainly dis
any damage. At Dodge City in the
western division the mercury dropped
to so, At Dresden %. At Baker just
to the freezing point. At Manhattan
two degrees below that point. At
Russell two degrees lower than at
Manhattan.
The lowest temperature recorded in
Kansas was at Mackville on the Santa
Fe in the central portion of the state,
where the mercury dropped to 20,
with rather heavy frost accompany
ing the drop in temperature.
IAN area of high pressure drifted
down from the north and is the cause
of the fall in temperature and the ac-
companying frost" said the weather
observer this morning. though our
reports do not indicate that any great
amount of damage has been done by
the low tenn perature or the frost
The forecast for tonight and Tues
day is, Increased cloudiness with pos
sible showers over the entire state and
a rising temperature" The more ten
der of plant life was nipped in this
locality by last nights frost, but vege-
tation in general does not show that
it was effected.
Complete reports received from Dodge
City, Dresden, Macksville, Mcpherson,
RuSSaU and Toronto by the weather de-
partment indicate that the drop in
mercury carried with it killing frost
which will nip vegetation of even with
the ground. 1t is thought that wheat
will withstand the freeze but corn and
garden vegetation of all kind is in all
probability killed.
During the 33 years that a record
has been kept at Dodge City no frost
has occurred. On the 11th of May. 1891,
light frost was recorded but it was
not of the severity of the one Sunday
night.
Warming Up at Last.
At two o'clock today there is nothing
to indicate the frosty conditions which
prevailed over most of the state last
nj hit excepting the dropping tender
plant life which was nipped and will
have to make a new start. The sun is
shining brightly and the mercury has
passed the sixty mark by several de-
grees and is still climbing. The wind
is blowing from the northwest after
lazy fashion and is not making over
four miles an hour. The flowers in the
beds about the state house which have
just been transplanted show the effects
of the drop of the mercury last night
though they are not so badly damag ged
that they will have to be replaced. The
real cold streak during last night was
just about daylight this morning when
the minimum of 81 degrees was reached. 1
