Col. o. G. Hulvey, president Of the

will add materially to the life Of Co

COOLEST WEATHER
KNOWN IN AUGUST
BELIEVED THAT AVERAGE TEN.
PERATURE FOR THE MONTH
BREAKS RECORD.
ROARING FIRES IN SUMMER
For All Fortunate Enough to Have
Made Provision for Them-others
Are Sorry That They Had Not Been
So Provident.

Taken as a whole the month closing
today has been probably the coldest
August that the people Of this sec.
tion OF the country have ever known.
In 1891 the temperature went down to
81 degrees. This morning it drop
ped down to 52 degrees, but the en-
tire month has been cold. With the
exception Of only a few days during
the first part Of the month the wealth
er has been distinctly unreasonable.
For the past week it has been more
like November than summer.
This morning was as raw and cold
as any one in this section can re-
member for the last day of August.
Everybody had a fire, in fact for the
past week many have had fires at
night. Where stoves had been put
away at the beginning of the summer
they were hurriedly brought back
into commission and many were the
regrets expressed that the head zof
the house had not been more provi-
dent in the matter of providing coal
and wood and kindling for the cold
that had arrived.
People who had made no provision
for the warming up OF the house ac-
tually suffered. Overcoats: redolent
Of moth balls we're hurriedly brought
out and the ladies who are accustom-
ed at this season to appear in thin
nothingness were seen on the streets
in furs and heavy wraps. The wealth
ed has been almost the sole topic Of
conversation for the past two or three
days and the weather man. who con-
tinues his career of reckless disre-
gard for the truth, has about lost ev-
cry friend that he possessed here
abouta.
II there Is any satisfaction in what
the oracle OF the weather says, it is
distinctly encouraging for again the
people are promised rising tempera-
ture. However, confidentially The
Herald advises that where provision
has not yet been made for a fire it
would be the part of wisdom to no
longer neglect getting bit of fuel.

stood that committee has been ap-
pointed for the purpose of preparing a
platform upon which an appeal will
be made to the voters and also to
look into certain charges that have
been made against the administra.

the proof is at hand to substantiate it.
Both sides declare an intention OF
conducting the campaign upon a high
plane. It Is said that neither will In
dulge in personalities, but will make
a straightforward appeal to the voters

There has been a. great deal Of
pressure brought to bear upon Alder
man W. o. Cherry to get him to enter
the race for mayor. From all Sec
tions of the city citizens have peti-
toned or personally urged Mr.. Cher
ry to make the race. 1t is understood
that II this movement had been
launched earlier Mr.. Cherry would
have yielded, but having announced
his candidacy for alderman upon the
Dedman ticket it is considered unlike.
