HOW TO FIND OUT.


Fill bottle or common glass with
your water and let 1t stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates

LIGHTS MAY GO OUT
POSSIBILITY THAT LIGHTING CON-
TROVERsY MAY LEAVE PORTION
OF CITY IN DARKNESS
WOULD BE FOR FEW DAYS ONLY
Gasoline Section of the City Is the
Only One in Danger of Tenn
porary Inconveni-
ence.

Quite considerable portion of st. Paul
may be in darkness the first day of the
coming year. On that date the contract
for every lamp used in lighting the
streets will have expired, with a posi-
bility Of days elapsing before there is a
renewal, or new contracts placed.
In the business districts where cleo
tricity Is the illuminant and in certain
sections Of the residence districts where
gas prevails, little trouble is expected, as
the city has 1t in it's own hands to COM
pei uninterrupted service. but where
gasoline is the light used, the city is
powerleSS.
In lighting the sparsely settled portions
Of the city and the residence sections
where gas mains have not been extended.
nearly $500 gasoline lamps of the plain
and incandescent variety are used, and
according to the construction of the legal
department, the contractors are under no
obligations to the city to keep them burn
ing day longer than the contract calls
for. Under ordinary conditions, If the
bids for lighting prove acceptable to the
council, the lighting of the city would
go on without interruption, but if new
bids are called for, weeks must elapse
before the matter can be satisfactorily
adjusted. Should a new firm get the
contract, it is figured that the delay will
be longer.
That the city will be in darkness is
largely surmise, as the present con-
tractors intimate that they will con-
tinue, even if deposed by some rival firm.
Such difficulties have arisen before and
the city has not suffered.
The rivalry for ST. Paul's gasoline
lighting now lies between two firms, but
it is said that when new bids are asked
for, there will be another company in the
field, which will make a proposition to
light the city with kerosene. This new
illuminant is in use in many cities, 1t is
said, and gives a light equal to electric
ity. The oil in some manner is reduced to
vapor, and can be used in an incandescent
burner

AN ENORMOUS ESTABLISHMENT
1t Is the Only House of It's Kind in
America.

In the general resume of the years
progress among ST. Pauls jobbing and
manufacturing interests, it is proper that
special mention should be made of the
novel establishment of Koehler & Hin
richs, who about the first of the month
removed to their new ffve-Story brick
building and basement occupying 100X130
feet on Third, between Wacouta and Ro-
Sabel streets. This firm, with their ideas,
energy, capital and enterprise, have a
huge twentieth century wholesale house,
and the customer or visitor who is for
tunate enough to be escorted through this
vast building, filed with such a variety
of goods, is sure to be appalled, at the
enormity and diversity of stock carried
The writer had the pleasure of attending
falo exposition, but the two interesting
hours passed in sightseeing at Koehler
& Hinrich's revealed a great many new
and interesting features.
This firm makes a specially of supply
ing, or fitting out hotels, butchers and
saloons; and their conception of the word
supplying Is SO modernized that they
furnish everything. If prospective
purchaser desires to open hotel they can
supply everything but the building and
guests, and, they can help on the latter,
because they have sixteen travelling men
on the road, as well as $50 regular en-
ployes.

SEWER WILL Be COSTLY
MARTIN STREET PROPERTY OWN
ERS WILL BE ASSESSED
S1.45 A FRONT FOOT
On Thomas Street, for Similar
Improvement, Estimate Is Less
Than One-HaIf This
Amount.

The marked difference in cost in the
construction of sewers throughout the
city and the burden the property mas
to bear is shown. in the statement OF
the board of public works that tenn
porary sewer on Thomas street, from
Milton to Grotto, will cost the property
benefited 6S cents a front foot, willie one
on Martin street will compel an assess
ment of $1.45 a front foot.
The one on Martin street is q feeder
to the large sewer on Selby avenue, and,
according to the contract placed with P.
Dougherty, will cost the city slightly
over $4,000. 1t is somewhat larger in
size than the Thomas street affair, but
the difference, the property owners along
Thomas street consider, has been fully
met by the fact that the city at large
is to be called upon to pay $13,5OO of
the entire cost price. Those on Thomas
street receive no outside aid whatever.
New sewers will be among the heaviest
of the list of improvements next year.
Preliminary orders calling for drains all
over the city are now on file In the
office of the board of public works, and,
unlike paving orders, do not receive a
sufficient objection to cause them to be
dropped.

extra large, being 9X24 feet, to handle

Now a few words relative to the per-
sonneI of the men that have reared this
big and successful business within a dec
ade and a half, that supplies the de-
mands Of their trade in the vast empire
west of st. Paul. The business was start
ed in a small way in 1885, in a store 20x60
feet, at the corner of st. Peter and
Fourth streets, by the present owners.
George w. Koehler native of Wiscon-
sin, and Ferdinand HinrichS who was
born at Hanover, Germany. A year later
they removed to West Third street, oc-
cupying three floors, 25x100 feet. Five
years later they removed to the corner
of Wacouta and Sixth streets, where they
remained until their new building was
ready for occupancy. They are compar-
atively young men to have built up such
a large enterprise, and with their ac-
complishments, capital and natural sur
roundings their field is unlimited They
are both decided disciplinarians, careful
and cautious in every detail of their busi-
ness and employ the best talent in their
various departments regardless of ex-
pense. Mr. Hinrich attends to the out
side finances, and Mr.. Koehler to the
credits and buying.

WASHOMELESSANDS SICK
AXEL JOHNSON FOUND IN A HALF
FROZEN CONDITION.


Half frozen, sick and without money,
home or friends, Axel William Johnson,
claiming to have come from Sweden sfx
years ago, wandered about the streets of
st. Paul yesterday until he was picked up
by Officer Licha, at Fourth and Waba-
sha streets, shortly after o'clock In
the afternoon. He was staggering and
could hardly walk. The officer called the
patrol wagon and had the sick man sent
to the city hospital. He has been af-
fiicted with a heart trouble, and while
at the central police station, before be-
ing taken to the city hospital, he plead
ed to those present not to let him die.
At the hospital 1t was said last night
that he was not very seriously i'll, and
that he would be able to be out again in
a few days. Johnson was formerly in the
employ Of the city water department and
lived on Mississippi street.

UNCLE SAM IS BUSY
POSTOFFICE PEOPLE REALIZE
THAT 1T is CHRISTMAS
TIME
CARLOADS OF TOKENS MAILED
Money Order Department Sends
Thousands of Dollars Daily
to Foreign COun-
tries.

The near approach of Christmas tide
is making large increases in the business
of the postoffice, and all departments,
are crowded with work. The greatest
rush of the Christmas mail has not yet
commenced, but a large NUMBER Oh
packages are being sent each day, that
they may reach their destination IN dlS-
tant parts of the world in time to re-
mind their receivers that friends still re-
member them. The heaviest business Will
not begin for few days, when the mails
will be crowded with Christmas presents
While a few packages are being sent
to foreign lands, this part of the mall
business does not reach any great pro-
portions. There are two governmental
regulations that have great influence IN
keeping down the number of packages
sent to foreign countries each year. one
of these is the postal rule that no piece
of mail shall weigh more than four
pounds. This makes it impossible 20 send
many presents abroad. The other reg
ulation is that a great many OF the artl-
cles which people who have friends IN
foreign countries would like to send as
presents are subject to duty and can
not be sent by mail. Yet with these
things in effect a great many pecKages
have already gone to other countries TO
bear their Christmas greeting.
While it is not altogether practicable
to send articles of merchandise to other
countries as Christmas presents, yet
there is one thing that can enter any
country without having to be assessed.
That thing is money, and great many
people are sending cash to friends whom
they left in the old country. In order to
send this cash they are obliged to call
upon the postoffice department for their
assistance in issuing money orders. This
makes a great increase in the work of
the money order department, many hav-
ing been sold to points in distant sections
of the postant union. The work of this
department of the local postoffice is
heavier than it has been for a long time,
and thousands of dollars are being sent
away each day.
