large chorus sang Home Sweet

and BY" The Fifty-fourth regiment
band of Ottumwa, played to the de-
light OF the crowds. The appreciation
of this band was best demonstrated by
the long and hearty applause which
was repeatedly given It. The concert
given Wednesday was the best ever
given in the city.
Some OF the visitors began leaving
Thursday evening while others are
remaining for a more extended visit
with relatives and friends. all are

RELIEF FOUND IN
SUDDEN CHANGE
DROP IN TEMPERATURE sRlNoo
AID TO MANY sUFFERERs
FROM HEAT.

A drop Of nearly 40 degrees was
registered at the local weather once
during the twelve hours between 6
o'clock last night and the same hour
this morning. The figures registered
were So, yesterdays maximum, and
So this morning.
This is practically the first real re-
lief that has bean felt from the ex-
treme weather conditions that have
prevailed this summer.
In the matter of records the past
summer has stood out quite promi,
neatly. Seventeen times has tho bulb
registered 100 plus. Sixteen times
during the summer Of 1911 was the
previous record. n
A mark OF 10S degrees, the hot.
test day of the season, was recorded
in July. The weather Of the past
two weeks has possibly been felt more
on account Of the length OF the ex.
IRENE spell. Five consecutive days
were over 100 degrees. with the two
preceding and the same number fol.
lowing within point or two Of ts.e
extreme mark.
Indications are for continued cool
spell The wind for the first time
this summer seems to have bedded
In the northwest, an indication OF cool
weather. What little breeze has been
felt previously has come from the
southeast, indicating heat
