At Houghton, it was 4(P below and in North Dakota below. Fuel is about exhausted through here and there Is danger of a ooal panic. The "cold wave" predicted, developed with great rapidity throughout the region from the Rocky Mountains to the lakes and the Central Mississippi Valley. Tho barometer rose in Manitoba to 81.10 inches, with temperature of 88 degrees below zero and falling. It is evident, therefore, that the backbone of the winter of 1893 is by no means broken.

This powerful anti-cyclone will probably give rise to the severest "cold wave' of the season and perhaps of the year in the northwest and the lake region, and thence southeastward to the Atlantic seaboard north of the Potomac.

A Ifill iu the Minnesota Legislature to Make Their Use a Penally. THE CRINOLIHE TO BE PROHIBITED. To Cloie the Folli at 4 F. H. An important bill was presented by Senator Herring, of Columbia, to close election polls at 4 P.

M. on election day. This is in line with a suggestion in the Governor's message. Senator Herring said that polling ilaces have increased since the present aw tojclose the polls at 7 p. m.

was enacted, and there are less voters to a district. Under the present ballot law election officers have more work to per 'orm in counting the vote than formerly, aud they are usually tired when the polls close at 7 o'clock. The proposed new an- will enable them to begin counting the three hours earlier, with greater satisfaction to themselves. Senator Herring said that the polls in Pennsylvania keep open later than in auy of the other States except two. Most of States compel the closing of the polli at sundown or earlier.

In New Tork they are closed at 4 p. and it has been the experience in those States that no one is injured by the early closing. Senator Herring thinks the bill making election day, from noon, a half holiday, will become a law, and this will be a good reason why the bill to close the polls at 4 P. M. should pass.

The reading of the bill provoked great, merriment. Mr. Fletcher, of Hennepin, moved its reference to the Committee on ucorpoFations other than Municipal. Mr.

Leonard desired the reference to be to the Committee on International Improvement. Mr. Boggs thought the bill ihonld goto the Judiciary Coramittee.as probably involved a constitutional question. Mr. Sails wanted tbo suspended and the bill passed.

The motion to refer to the Committee on International Improvements prevailed. Then the Speaker said that uuder the rules the reference had to be to a committee called for by the subject matter of the bill, and to do so it wonld be necessary to establish such committee, as none existed. Hi- therefore referred the bill to the Committee on Incorporations Other than Municipal, of which Mr. Boggs is chairman. The latter thereupon demanded the appoinment of a typewriter and clerk to the committee.

Hep on of a Number of Citizens Who Hammer Creek Time for Definite Action is of the Lebanon Water Water They Supplied Was Hct Filthy and Impure. It affords us pleasure to note that the nggestions made by the NEWS with regard to the water question are being followed up by a number of our best citizens. JXhere is a right way as well as a wrong way of taking up any mblic question and right methods will always commend themselves to the people. iMrst of all, there must be unity of ac- 100; all persons interested must work for the general welfare and for he accomplishment of the highest good all. Public officials when they do the very best possible need to be upheld and instaiued, and assisted whenever ft is It is easy to condemn and find anlt, but that is neither helpful nor is agreeable.

We believe that the water board has done the best could do under existing circumstances, and we should be thankful, as the correspondent II. points out, that the jebaoou Water company cauie to the aid of the city at a time when mauy other cities were suffering from a water famine and when we would have been in very liilicult straits but for their kind assist- Aud right here let us say that the reports circulated about the filthy water jumped into onr mains by the Lebanon Water company were scandalous false- loods. Mr. Levan, who has been living very close to the place trom whence the water pumped, for fifteen years, says his family, as well as his neighbors, have been usiag the same water during all of time and that there is no truth in statements made that the water is mpure and unclean. It is hard and that is all.

The Lebanon Water company has ever shown its friendly disposition to pump water for the city whenever it was needed, either when any of the mains were broken, vhen repairs became necessary, or when our supply ran low, and it is a source of great comfort to know that we have such an able and willing medium to fall back upon in case of any emergency. The abuse heaped npon our public officials and the untruths that have been spread about the water which has been furnished by the Lebanon Water company have been scandalous, to say the least, and we believe the public generally feel like resenting such a course. We want, as II. suggests, to stand by each other and to la-tior together for the best and highest interests of our city. The day of abuse and scandalizing has gone by, let us hope.

The time for decided action is now here, and croakers must step aside. Uelow we give two interesting communications from gentlemen well known in this city, who have water question at heart and who stand ready to assist in any way possible: Communicated.) Trip to Hammer Creek. EDITOR NEWS. DEAR SIR: Yesterday at 1 o'clock a party of citizens left for Hammer oreek in two conveyances. The object of their visit was for the purpose of looking up some suitable site along that stream for an additional water supply for our city.

The first place visited was Buffalo Springs, which was reported to be dry; but that was fouud not to be the case. On the contrary a fine crystal stream is continually flowing out and adds its force to the Hammer creek. The next stop was made at mill, where we found an abundance of the purest water, the daw being full and overflowing. The mill was running and the millers reported plenty of water. An observation of this place was taken and a fine stream of water was found to now into the Buffalo Springs stream at this point.

These two streams at this point form a larger body of water than the Quittapabilla. Leaving this point we started on down'lbe stream until we reached Weiss' mill, finding a number ol large springs 011 the way and as we went along we inquired of the inhabitants there if in their judgment the stream was swollen, and they told us it was about in its normal condition. On arriving at the Weiss mill we fouud it in a dilapidated and deserted condition, but water in abundance. The stream at this place is about twice as large as the Quittapa- hilla and is of the purest kind of water. Here we again inquired of the man who lives on the place if he had been obliged to stop bis mill during the drought last fall on account of Uio water being low.

He answered in tho negative. When the question was asked if in his judgment the stream was swollen, be thought very little if any above its normal condition. We soon saw that this was not the point we were looking fur ami we started down the stream with our teams and as th roadway runs parallel with the stream a fine opportunity was afforded us to view the stieam all the way down to the Horseshoe pike. On our way down we discovered a number of fine sites for a pumping station where a head from 15 to 25 feet could Le easily raised for an overshot or turbine water wheel. There seems to be no doubt aa to the question of pumping the water up on the summit of tho mountain by its own power by the introduction of a turbine water wheel.

This would cheapen the cost of the plant and future expense fuel for pumping. Land is cheap here, acd a dam can be built at small cost, as the ravine is narrow at tome places. At some of these points the water must be raised probably 150 feet to the summit and on the summit of the mountain the water need not be confined in a pipe, but oan run in an open channel down the mountain side into our present water supply dams. This in the face of all tho facts gathered is ythe most feasible place that an additional water supply can be reached and will give us an abundance of good, pure water for fifty years or perhaps for all time to come. The proper place for our pumping station is not the Weiss mill, bat at some point not less than one-fourth ol a mile below, or perhaps a little further.

That can best De determined by a survey. The land is cheaper and more suitable. A step in the right direction wonld be to secure the services of a competent civi engineer and make surveys so that we have something definite, as the above visit by the following citizens of Lebanon was only made to see if the Hammer creek wonld bave a sufficient quantity of water and if the proper place to take it from could be found. They al seem to agrea as to quality anc quantity. The following named persons comprised the committee: J.

H. Cilley, L. Reizenstein, John Meily, Isaac Miller, William Altenderfer, Alfred Gates, Geo. D. Rise, Joel Dewalt, Alex.

MoGowan, John Benson and Common Councilman -iiUner and Select Councilman Gassert. The party were well pleased with the and were highly elated by realizing that a difficult problem could at last be easily solved. The only thing that remains to be done now is to put our shoulders to the wheel and make it move. This can only be done by a united effort of the citizens, Water Board and Councils. Let all work together to accomplish this one end and the task will bo an easy one.

J. H. C. At Last. EDITOR NEWS: At last a number of iberal minded citizens have come to the conclusion that they might assist their neighbors upon whom it has pleased them to bestow an official title at the same jrice the nothing.

This is as it should ba. It is not pleasant for the officials of auy de- in a city like ours, where there so much to be done and so little to do with, to be found fault with when they do the best that can be done with the ineaus at hand. We did what all men do, when we found that the water supply was failing we went to buy from best place we could find, and wo the water for the last two months "rom the Lebanon Water company, and delivered it in our pipes at five cents )er 1,000 gallons, in the best condition possible. It is not the fine quality of water which we are accustomed to and which is better than any that our neighboring cities enjoy. The water we get 'rom the Lebanon Water company is far superior to Swatara or Schuylkill water," which is contaminated with sulphur and ilth.

As far as lay in our power and as as we know the water we gave the city contained no unhealthy matter and all citizens are alike benefited by giving their support to those whom they have placed in authority. Yours, J. H.B. IS THE SANCTUABY. A Guide of the Different Church Services for To-morrow.

If any person has kept a file of the NEWS published the year we would be pleased to communicate with them. Large and Prosperous ttnsinefti Constant); Increasing to Supply the Demand. FINE MILL WORK A SPECIALTY. An Exsensiva Lumber Yard Stocked Wi; All Kinds of Planii; Hill Thoroughly Equipped With Improved Machinery for Producing Finished and Skilled Energetic Bniineumen. The Reinoehl Lumber company, whose extensive lumber yards and large, thoroughly equipped planing mill are located the northern portion of our city, id a continuation of the old firm of Reinoehl Meily which was in existence for many rears and was the leading lumber firm in county.

The genins and spirit of en- which characterized the old firm lave been transmitted to the new which has even in a greater degree itriven to keep itself abreast of the times. To the new company belongs the credit of having brought finely-finished hard wood to the degree ol' perfection shown a number of the new edifices that have recently been erected in our city. They lave made the subject of architectural design and finish an especial study, and niilders need no longer no lo large cities or work of this description, as they can 3e accommodated right at home by the Eteinoehl Lumber company. During the three years' existence of the company their mill has been running steadily on full time aud at present 52 workmen are employed by them, and five yearns are necessary all the time to de- iver lumber and the finished products to various partis of the city and county. The mills have been enlarged as the demand ncreased, while new and improved machinery is steadily taking the place of old-style machines.

The last important and indeed unique piece of machinery is an Invincible sand paper machine. It gives all wood a regular, beautiful furniture finish. But a few of these machines are found in the country except by large manufacturers in our large cities. With their large and well-equipped planing mill aud the immense stock of all kinds of lumber, which they always have on hand, the Reinoehl Lumber company is now better prepared for supplying contractors with all kinds of mill work aud lumber for any class of buildings they may wish to erect, bat wo desire here especially to direct attention to the finer grades of work in their line of business. In doing so we oite several buildings below that have been finished in hard wood, of a superior grade and finish, the mill work of which was done at the mills of this company, and which, we think, is a flattering testimonial to their high skill and workmanship.

This company furnished all the inside work for Mr. George H. Spang's large Palace Hotel, on Cumberland street. It is finished in quartered oak and cypress, while the top of the bar 13 mahogany, being the finest piece of lumber ever brought to this city. It is three inches thick, 23 inches wide and 30 feet in length.

County Treasurer Geo. W. hotel, at Aunville, finished in ash and poplar; all of the work was made by the Keinoebl Lumber Company. The has just been completed. The back bar is 18 feet long, four feet high, with closets and drawers and mirror frame on top.

The entablature has carved coruiue and architraves. The friuzn is laid out in small square mirrors, and is supported by four Corinthian columns resting on octagon bases, with carved capitals. The work is most artistic; beautiful in design and finish. Mr. Daniel Witmeyer's handsome residence on Cumberland street, chia city, for which all the interior work wag finished at their mills.

It is finished in quartered oak. Dr. John C. Buchcr's elegant new residence on Chestnut street, this city. This is finished in plain oak and piue.

The work was designed aud.finished at -their mills. These are handsome and costly structures, the wood work of which was prepared and finished by the Reinoehl Lumber company, which speaks for itself. It will stand the test of close scrutiny, and persons who contemplate erecting beautiful and finely finished buildings, whether for public or private, are directed to a careful examination of the work. Among the buildings now beinif remodeled by this company the following may be mentioned: Messrs. Ranch Rebstock, remodeling the" Marshall mansion, corner-Tenth and Cnmberlaud streets.

Mr. John A. Weimer's residence, formerly owned by Mr. Bird Irish. This building is now being changed and remodeled and will be a beautiful home when completed.

The dining room will be finished in mahogany. Onr readers will understand that we have simply called attention to some of the more elegant structures for which the Reinoehl Lumber company has furnished the material, and by means of which it has acquired a reputation in this line of work that is second to none. The lumber business and all that pertains to it receives moot careful attention and all classes of work is done well and quickly. The company is fortunate in having for its general superintendent Mr. Jacob P.

Sanders, who is amply qualified to take charge of anything in the building line from the cheapest, most ordinary bouse, to the finest and most architecturally intricate edifice. He has had an experience of 30 years and daring most of this tima has devoted himself to a careful study of everything pertaining to this branch of a useful and important industry. He is very painstaking, obliging and courteous, familiar with the architectural art and speaks by the book, having versed himself in the-technical as well as practical parts of the business. Of the members comprising, this company little need here be said. Thoy are all well known in onr community as thorough masters of the lumber business and all that appertains thereto.

Most of them have grown up in the business and all are imbued with the spirit of progress and advance in keeping with the times. By means of their energy, reliability and vast business resources they are keeping themselves in the front ranks of the building industry, and are ever ready to promote the general welfare of the city with which they stand so closely identified. Left for Florida, Mrs. Henry Light, of this city, today left for Reddick, Florida, where she will pay a visit to her son, Mr. Louis Light, who left here a dozen years ago and located in Florida.
