The sharp cant wind still makes its pres ence felt, and heavy overcoats and gloves are Very much en regie. The average householder lays , awake listening for the footsteps of the plumber or, in his dreams, finds him self signing a mortgage for tils prop erty to pay for the frozen pipes, but all this alarm is needless. The plumb ers are doing more worrying than the householder need do. There will be no water pipes frozen in this weather as -the cold season is coming gradu ally and ye property owner is keeping an eye on1 "goggly gee, the Frost King. The thermometer ranged for i he 24 hours ending yesterday at 5:30 p. in. at from 28 degrees early in the morning to 41 late in the afternoon, 34 being the mean.

Coasting Accident Mis Edith Lindstrom, daughter of Frank Lindstrom, yesterday suffered a fracture of the right leg, just above the ankle.

Miss Lindstrom was enjoying the sport and was thrown from her sled with the above result. Dr. Estes is attending the young lady, and has re duced the fracture. The patient, at last accounts was doing well. Fell From Banister Rail The 15-y car-old son of Ceo. Mor ton had a bad (all. while sliding down the banister rail at the family home, on Wednesday. - It was not thought that he was injured any but Thursday he was compelled to return home from school.
