Welcome to our. city. 1t was the
! universal welcome given to the old
friend, the North Easter which brought
| relief to .Kenosha from the torrid wave
of the past week early this morning.
| The northeaster came riding in on the
heels of just the suggestion of an cleo
trio storm just before midnight Sunday
night and by eight o'clock this morn
| ing it had driven the mercury down
nearly thirty degrees. Relief came to
the sWeltering city just about the time
the people were ready to give up. Sun
| day was the hottest of the long series
of hot days and during the day the
mercury climbed to 103 in he shade and
it never got below 81 degrees until the
| cold wave came up from the northeast.
The weather man declares that the
back of the hot wave is broken and
that with tonight there will be more
cooling winds and that by Tuesday
morning normal summer weather will
prevail. He does not hold out any
suggestion of furnace fires or any
thing Of the kind, but he declares
that the weather is going to be pleas
ant livable weather.
Kenosha people had about suffered
the limit from the heat on Saturday
and when the new record came on Sun
| day they sullenly stayed in their
homes. There was not nearly SO large
a crowd at the bathing beaches on
Sunday afternoon and evening as there
had been on Saturday but at that there
were more than ten thousand people at
