 IN HOT SPRINGS
HEAT WAVE WAS GENERAL.
Springdale Was in the Midst of It. Hot Weather Record at Fort
 smith k Shattered.

Is this hot enough for Whack Everybody said he got just what he deserved
 Yes, we know it's been hot this week
 This section experienced the hot test weather first of the week here for years. The heat wave struck us Sunday, and it increased in intensity until Tuesday when thermometers around town register ed all the way from I02 to 109 above zero. The heat was accom- panied by regular Kansas hot wind, which came from the North west at times, something people who gre familiar with hot winds say they never knew of before
 While 1t was hot in Springdale other places throughout the count " was experiencing the same kind of weather The heat wave seems the southwest
 F broken at Fort Smith Tuesday, the government thermometer registering little above 10S The weather bureau has been maintaining a sta ton at Fort Smith for twenty-eight years past, and the nearest approach to Tuesdays record was in 1896 ,rtYa,, tb1 tbarD,ap,a-ar ,at,f fota..Y1 Y1 107 degrees The thermometer reg istered LUG at Fort Smith Monday.
 Hot Springs was probably the hottest place in the state llo be- ing the record there
 The Fayetteville Daily reports 99 at that place Monday and at ? D m Tuesday 1o1 F, although We un- derstand the thermometer at the experiment station registered l09 Tuesday afternoon
 The following explanation from the Fort Smith Southwest American as to why the heat in this section is not so oppressive as in other sections will probably be Of inter est to our readers
 However. the one great redeemins feature of this climate is the low per cent of humidity the per cent at o'clock last night being only 80. with the temperature at 100. Perhaps there are some who do not understand the term humidity. he per cent of humidity means the per cent of moisture in the air. When the humidity is loo the saturation of the air with moisture is complete and it rains. There fore. when the atmosphere is very dry the humidity per cent Is low The body is cooled by the eyapora- ton of the precipitation which is sues through the pores of the skin When the per cent of humid ity is low and the air dry the precipitation eyaporates quickly and the body is cooled When the hu- miditv is high and the air heavily saturated with moisture, you have that sticky feeling, because the per spiration issues from the pores and does not dry up or eyaporate.
 Humidity is the explanation Of why people are prostrated by the heat in New York when the temper ature is 90, or whereabouts, and none are prostrated in Fort Smith with the temperature at 100, or as high as il was yesterday, t05

4 PARALyTlC STROKE.
John Whinnery Stricken Down Mon-
day Afternoon.

GdN RRitEIpbff
 John Whinnery abo4t forty years of age. residing some three miles west of Sprinedale was stricken with paralysis Monday afternoon about five o'clock. and h.s eondie tion is looked mon as being seri- ous.
 Mr Whinnery, with others. was employed in pruning apple trees in the old Zimmerman orchard when he said he felt q sudden numbness in his left les. which gradually gave way and he could not stand He was removed to his home, and at this time he has entirely lost the use of his left leg and arm His tongue is somewhat affected also.
 Dr. Christian, who was called to at tend him. thinks that the paralytie stroke was hastened by the extreme heat and exertion Ii is thought that Mr. Whinnery's condition will improve gradually, but as to whether or not there will be a permanent re covery is q question that time alone will answer

Concerning pr Douthat's expla- nation Mr. Pool hands in the fol- lowing:
 The above analysis and meaning of Ozark by Dr Douthat from a pathological point of view may be regardef as final unless something better appears It would be inter- esting to know the name of the man who named these mountains "Ozarks, and how he discovered that the wood growing thereon is Good for bows Perhaps he was an obscure French voyageour, and if so he missed his chance for immor- tality Greatness ls often missed by narrow margin

SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TT
 WILL BE BUILT
PLANS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED
Work Will Not Begin. However. Until Next Term of
 School Closes.

If present plans do not fail Springdale will have new nigh school building within the next year, this having been agreed upon at meeting of the school board held Friday afternoon
 A canvass Of the patrons of the district showed the sentiment largely in favor of the new building, and at the meeting Friday afternoon the plans of architect A 0. Clark of Rogers were formally adopted, and MT. Clark was instructed to pre- pare detailed plans and specified tions and as soon as this is done the board will be ready to receive bids on the building. MT. Clark, who was present at the meeting Friday, stated that 1t would require some two or three weeks to com plete the plans.
 Although bids will be asked for at once work on the building will not begin until the next term of school closes The new building will be located partly on the site of the present building, which will necessitate tearing away the lat ter, and to do so now would ln- terfere with the school work It is the intention, however, to have the foundation partially constructed and as much work as possible done by the time school closes so that the building can be pushed rapidly and completed during the vacation period next summer
 The new building shows up nicely on paper, and will consist of two stories and basement. and will be 50x90 feet. It will be constructed of red pressed brick with Carthage stone trimmings. The basement will be used fer | labratory and gymnasium, and the furnace to heat the building ~i1l be located in the basement.
 The main entrance to the build ing will be on the east, but there will be an entrance for the boys on the north and for the girls on the south side The first floor Will contain the study room, which Will have an inclined floor and twenty five foot ceiling, extending up and taking in the second story The study room will be 45x4S feet and will accommodate 200 students There will also be two recitation rooms, l@x19. on the first floor and on the south side locker l3Xl9 for the accommodation ef the girls, and one the same size on the north side for the boys. Two stairways will lead to the basement and two to the second story.
 The second story will contain three recitations rooms. l9Xl9' I4x19. and 1Sx19 To the front of the building will be the prlncl- pals room, 12x16 and library 12x13
 The building will be well lighted and well ventilated and constructed along modern lines in every way, so as to add as much as possible to the comfort and convenience of both the teachers and pupils. The build ing will, it is thought, cost not less than SIP ,000.
 We understand the board has not yet definitely decided as to wheth- CT or not Mr Clark will be em- tion of the building
