Monday Was Hottest Day of Season.

After two or three days of relief from the continued heat wave of the past few weeks the mercury began climbing again Sunday and reached the highest point of the season Monday, when at 2 o’clock the government’ thermometer at St. Joseph’s college registered 105 degrees. At 5 o’clock it registered 90 degrees. This was perhaps the hig&est point the marcury has reached here in a number of years. Yesterday was also a “hot one,” and at 8:30 a. m. the thermometer in front of The Democrat office registered 85 in the shade, and at 2 p. m. registered an even 100.
