The advent of King Winter and his frosty blasts has put a stop, tem porarily at least, to the construction of the big storm sewer main in Lewis street, north of the Union Pacific tracks. The Oiferman brothers laid oft their force of workmen Wednesday morning, the weather being so cold that it was considered unsafe to lay concrete until the temperature should rise again. If milder weather sets In within a week or so, the work will probably be resumed, otherwise there will be nothing further done until spring. The concrete had been laid up to Thirteenth street, the ditch had been opened to Fourteenth, and the contractors had only the one more block of sewer to put In to-complete the original contract. If the work can not be resumed this winter, it will be necessary to fence in the open ditch and leave it in that shape until spring.

The machinery used in digging the ditch from the river to the railroad tracks was loaded the first of the week and sent to Lincoln where the Offerman company has a con tract for some excavating. Fred Offerman went down to Lincoln to look after the other Job, and Charles Of ferman remained in charge of the work here. The cold weatner is not Interfering with the Union Pacific's laying the section of the sewer under its tracks. The company is heating the materials, and keeping the fresh con crete from freezing by the use of steam pipes. Unless the thermometer should drop well below zero, there will be no interruption of this part of the work.

The Elkhorn Construction company this week finished laying the pipe for the laterals in Thirteenth and Twelfth streets, after waiting more than a week for a delayed shipment of pipe. The men are now busy putting in the catch basins at the street intersections and connecting them with the laterals. As the material used is chiefly brick and tile, the present weather conditions are not severe enough to put a stop to the work. Cement is used only In sealing the tile CHRIST MAS See our display of the most beautiful Handkerchiefs we have ever shown, lure linen Alpine embroidered handkerchiefs of finest Swiss needle art, at 25c, 35c, 50c, 7oc and Swell initial handkerchiefs at 25c.
