Several water mains have been
found to be frozen, and steps have
been taken to put them in condition
for use in case of necessity Fire
Chief Roy has taken the matter in
hand, and made proper provisions for
the use of the fire engine should it
become necessary.
R. w. Wood. assistant ia physics
at the state university, has originated
new plan for thawing out water
pipes. By his plan an electric wire
is attached to the water pipe at the
meter, if the freeze is outside of it.,
and another to the nearest hydrant
The current is then turned on and the
electricity does the rest At the resi-
dence of w. F. Villas, in Madison
Monday afternoon, $50 feet Of pipe in
the frozen section was thawed out in
twelve minutes.
WATERFOWL has been Justly cele-
brated for its fine stores, and each
succeeding year increases the number
! Schiller & Wegemann are enterpris-
ing, go-ahead merchants, and propose
to leave nothing undone to make their
store one of the most inviting of it's
kind in the state. For the past few
weeks they have employed force of
workmen in remodeling and renovat-
ing. A new hardwood floor and
ceiling adds much to the attractive
ness of the place, and the removal
OF the tailoring department from the
main floor gives increased room for
the better display of their large and
really superb stock of everything in
the clothing and gents furnishing
line. In the evening their store is
brilliantly illuminated, and a visit to
this establishment will convince any
one that Schiller & Wegemann thor
oughly understand their business and
the wants of their customers.
George c.. Mansfield and daughter,
Miss Grace, of johnson Creek, who
left home on the 9th inst for tour
through the Sunny South, and thence
to visit places of historic interest
among the Aztecs of Old Mexico,
write home from New Orleans giving
an account of their trip up to the
time of reaching the Creole City
The cold was so intense, together
with an over-supply of the beautiful
snow, that they were twenty-four
hours late in reaching Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn. The stove tipped over
in the baggage Ca" AID nearly de-
stroyed the car. The steam pipes in
the compartment rars f"ozo up and
then burst, flooding the cas- with
water, making life miserable for the
occupants. On reaching New Orleans
they found the weather so cold and
the streets SO coated with ice that
the great mardi gras festival had to be
postponed. 1t was impossible to dis
play the floats, the horses not being
able to keep their feet. Mr.. Mans
field and daughter were to leave New
Orleans for Mexico about the 10Th.
