Misconsin Frozen Deep.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. S.-This city is
experiencing the coolest weather in TWEEN
ty-five years The frost has penetrated the
ground to d depth of AZ feet or within a
foot and half of the water mains. A
double force of men is on duty to see that
the fire hydrants are not frozen up. The
temperature tonight is fifteen degrees be-
low zero and little promise is offered for
any abatement of the cold. Railroads are
running very light freight trains and as
small passenger trains as possible the cold
weather interfering more or less with the
power of the locomotives. Perishable
freight in several instances, is being held,
pending a change in the weather. Reports
from around the State indicate the cold is
lister all the way from thirty eight to fifty
degrees below; Whitehall reports thirty;
Black River Falls. forty-two. At Waupaca
the water works are completely frozen up,
and at Spring Valley the schools have been
closed on account of the severe cold.
