The Terrific Cold OF Saturday Night

How was the thermometer in your
neighborhood this morning" was the gen.
eral salutation which was exchanged yes.
terday morning. Saturday was what
might be reasonably considered an ex>
tremely cold day. but when night came
on it brought such an icy blast from
the regions of the frozen north as to
make Ole SILVER between the blankets of
his bed covering or almost freeze his nose
over red hot stove. What 40 degrees
below zero would be to the people of Da-
kota, 80 below would seem to Illinoisians
and those who were exposed to the terri
fc cold of yesterday thought there never
had been such weather anywhere before.
A man might talk as much as he liked in
the open air, but not sound would be
uttered, His argument would freeze up
solid right in front of him. He could
then carry 1t inside and set 1t by the stove
and after while the conversation would
begin to thaw and the man could GO
away and leave it talking to itself.
The thermometers in various places
throughout the city at sunrise yesterday
ranged from 90 to 80 below the zero
mark, At Thomas and Marshall's drug
stores the mercury was at 90 below; at
Col. Brackets house on First avenue ii
was 2S; at the lower saw mill it was 80;
on Twentieth street and Fifth avenue it
was 90; at the commands headquarters
on the island it was 90, while on the
bridge il was 80. The thermometer did
not get above IL below all day yesterday
and last night the mercury again fell,
being from Is to "a below.
Plumbers had busy time of it yester-
day. 10 nearly every house in the city |
which are supplied by the waterworks,
the pipes were frozen or bursted. and
many kitchen and bathroom was for
time a skating surface.
Frozen ears, noses. fingers and feet
were common things on the streets yes
terday, and If the man who predicted an
open winter had been in Rock Island
he would have been convinced in man
ner more forcible than words, of the
fallacy of his prophecy.
