MERCURY KEEPS ABOVE 100

Kansas City, Mo. Aug. 10.--Kansas
Missouri and Oklahoma saw no relief
| to-day from the extreme heat wave
that for more than week has tortured
the people of the three States. Tenn
peratures above 100 were recorded at
every point reporting
In some places tonight there were
indications of rain and cooler weather
No rain fell during the day. The high
est temperature in Kansas reported
to-day was at Great Bend whore Il
mark of 40 degrees was reached
Many places report temperatures of I OG
and los degrees In Topeka 10l degrees
was reached. The maximum tempera-
ture in Kansas City was 100. Several
Missouri points reported 104
Ever since last Sunday Kansas has
been i'm the center of the heat wave
The mercury rose to 9S above last
Sunday. 1t was 101 on Monday 1O3 on
| Tuesday, 101 on Wednesday, 1O4 on
| Thursday, 100 on Friday and 1Of on
saturday. This breaks all August con-
secutive heat records for that State
since the weather department was cs-
tablished % years ago.
The nights have been even hotter in
proportion than the days during this
period Some evenings last week tho
thermometer has registered 20 above AT
seven o'clock and not a night during the
week has the mercury dropped below II.
Friday morning it was 81 at dawn As
early as MAY 30 the thermometer in
dicated the 100 mark. Cool periods fol-
lowed heat waves all through June. In
July the heat was terrific for DAYS at a
time. Then came August and found the
state dry and parched with drouth. All
the creeks In the State are dry and most
Of the rivers
Reports received from reliable sources
throughout Kansas indicate that the dam
age is not so great as would appear from
the unusual conditions. Thousands ot
silos are scattered over the State and
these rob the dtouth of some of it's
terrors. Farmers have learned to dig
ponds deep and protect them with willow
trees. The first panic following the drouth
doubtless sent thousands of head of cattle
to Elut the market but warnings from a
dozen reliable sources seem to have
checked these shipments.
RAINS BRING RELIEF
Chicago, Aug. lo.-Heavy rains through
the northern central States and the lake
region brought relief from the intense
heat to-day. The rain did not extend far
enough South, however. to benefit the
corn belt Of southern Illinois. Kansas.
Oklahoma and Missouri These States
which have been baking under the most
extreme heat, received no relief and tenn
peratures which have stood around 100 for
more than week showed no signs Of
lowering.
In Chicago .6S of an inch of rain fell
and about an equal amount was reported
through the cities of Wisconsin. Indiana
and Ohio The rain was accompanied in
most cases by drop of Is TO 20 degrees
