Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan 19, 1907: “Weather experts say it has been 20 years since Kansas has had as little sunshine as it is having now. Sleet and snow have been hitting in many state locales and there has been big trouble from heavy ice on roofs. It is not one of the better winters. : A bill was introduced in Congress today calling for elimination of some Indian schools and there are fears that Haskell Institute here could be hurt and that Carlisle in Pennsylvania could be closed. Haskell officials say they fear no closings but there is evidence that such could occur. : We hear of terrible actions by looters in Kingston, Jamaica, where an earthquake killed about 1,000 and wrecked the city of Kingston. “
