to ice dealers, the second cutting will
be at least nine inches thick The
water which hacker up over the ice
and stopped the ice cutting for day
was about two feet deep in some
places. The sudden shutting down of
the mill for the night was the cause
of this overflow. The icemen made an
effort to start the ice cutting again
this morning. Among those now cut

harvested.

Beels a Candidate,

Tilden Citizen: George n Bees
of Norfolk was in town Tuesday. Mr.
Beels is being mentioned as a posi-
bic candidate for state representative.
1t will be remembered that he was
the unsuccessful contestant for the
place in 1910, and he carried the
county outside of Norfolk His de
feat was attributed to the county OPP
ton issue which in that year was the
main political contention in the state.
His attitude at that time was that
the people should decide the question
rather than have it placed at the dis
posal of 1873 men of the house and
senate. This resolve on the part of
Mr.. Beels alienated a number of radi-
cal prohibitionrepublican votes in
Norfolk from the party nominee and
he went Town to defeat. Since the
people decided that question in ac-
cord with his own sentiment Mr..
Beels is looked upon in some quarters
as the logical candidate for another
nomination. At this stage of the pc.
litical game, The Citizen desires TO
have it understood that this paper is
and will be noncommittal until the
question of candidates is settled at
the primary in April

Some relief was experienced by the
gas company last evening and this
morning when they found it possible
to furnish gas to nearly every part of
the city except those located on Nor.
folk avenue from Seventh street to
Fourth street, between which points
the company is endeavoring to locate
the big leak which has been giving
them so much trouble that it was nee
esary for two days to turn off the
citys entire gas supply.
The gas is now turned on in the
entire district west of the tracks" is
the report issued from the gas plant
at noon. The south side is being fur
nished. The gas is turned off from
the plant to Fourth street. We have
not found anything yet, but we are
trying to locate the leak which we are
positive is located west OF Fourth
street on Norfolk avenue"

lieving that the show was held too late
in the season this year, decided to
hold the annual show one month ear.

Der was the date set.
This years show was success as
a display. The financial end of it,
however, was not as good as it would
have been had not the cold weather
