Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 199, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 August 1915 — Lots of Water Fell Again Friday and Saturday. [ARTICLE]

Lots of Water Fell Again Friday and Saturday.

Two unneeded rains occurred here Friday and Saturday of last week and they were big rains, too. The precipitation as recorded at St- Joseph’s college was: Friday, .6 of an inch, Saturday 1.3 inches or almost two inches. Coming as it did following lighter rains of almost every day for a month there was much water left standing on the ground and ditches and the Iroquois river ran full to the banks. Sunday and today were fine days and thrashing is being resumed again in some places. Over in Pulaski county, near Francesville, it must have rained much more than it did here, as water was standing in the roads and streets near town and it is reported they had 36 hoars of heavy rain. The sky is clouding up again this afternoon and the forecast is for unsettled weather with probably showers.
