CONSIDERABLE SUFFERIKG RESULTS Many Found In Unprepared State Farmers la Danger of Suf fering Loss. "Blankets," earmuffs and overshoes are once more in "order, while the cold, impassive countenance of the thermometer is again the cynosure of all eyes. Jack Frost is abundantly present, having arrived Saturday night with all his luggage and an evi dent intention of staying awhile. Yesterday morning the mercury ap proached within hailing distance of the zero point and the strong west wind that blew all day rendered life out of doors decidedly uncomfortable. This morning thermometers about the city registered seven or eight de grees below and the breeze was strong enough to keep the situation interesting. Had the cold weather come more gradually it is probable, that the Mis sissippi river would now be closed at this point, but the water is still warm and the cooling process will require several days. This morning the shores were lined, but the channel, although full of floating ice. was open and steaming. Not even Sylvan water was closed. Sleighing ! IndlfTerent The snow, which fell steadily all day Saturday, ceased in the evening, leaving about three inches of the beautiful on the ground. The amount is sufficient to make very fair sleigh ing on the pavement and yesterday many were out in cutters. On the'un paved streets and country roads, how ever, the roughness of the-path caus es the bumps to protrude and the wheel is still more satisfactory than the runner. The ferry, T. J. Robinson, after braving the conditions yesterday morning, during the afternoon drop ped down to the boatyard and went into winter quarters. , Launch Caught. Commodore Charles McIIughss launch, the Mary Mc, is lying tight in the ice near the shore at the foot of Fifteenth street. An attempt was made to tow the craft to the boat yard Sat unlay with a skiff, the ma chinery being out of order, but the effort had to be given up. The launch is now in a very bad position and un less moved will probably suffer dam age from the ice. Much Corn In Field. Extreme cold weather comes rather unexpected at this time and H there fore imposes unusual hardships alike upon man and beast. It also finds a general state oi unpreparedness. In the country there is not. a little corn yet in the field, the crop being unusu ally late in maturing and the begin ning of the harvest having been un duly postponed on that account. If there is not a return to open weather soon the loss to the farmers will be considerable. COLD WAVE IS GENERAL. Present Style of Weather Seems to He Pre vailing Throughout the Country Chicago, Dee. 8. A cold wave with zero and below temperature is pre vailing in practically all sections of the country except the (iulf states. Reports from Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Wisconsin. Michigan, Missouri. Iowa, Ohio, Illinois and Kan sas show today to be the coldest of the season, Minnesota and North Da kota reporting 10 to 20 below zero. At Chicago five fatalities from causes directly attributable to cold weather are reported this morning. There were numerous cases of desti tution and suffering from a shortage of the coal supply, principally among the poorer classes.
