shoulder and severely hurt his an

The drouth and, we believe, the
summer, too, were terminated
with a glorious rain that COM
menced falling about three o'clock
Tuesday morning and continued
with more or less regularity
throughout the day and into the
night. The total precipitation was
2.75 inches. The rain was pre-
ceded by an electrical storm and
some hail fell. 1t is a remarkable
fact that the weather forecast for
st. Louis and vicinity published
in the st. Louis papers Tuesday
morning was s'probably fair to-
day and tomorrow" Wednesday
promises to be an ideal fall day.
