Last Sunday probably will go down
in history as one of the hottest days
ever known in the State of Kansas.
The government thermometer here
registered ITO. The wind that blew
Nfrom the south held the hot blast of
a furnace in its breath and every
thing it touched swiveled and droop-
ed, even the weeds looked limp and
detected. Eastern Kansas was even
worse Topeka giving a report of la
with great humidity which is harder
to bear than when a breeze is stirring
even if the breeze is warm. Late
in the the evening the wind changed
to the north and by midnight one
could sleep under a light covering.
The day will long be remembered as
one of the most uncomfortable for
many year.
