J- A I "I V', -i Judge Henry Kreiss has not decided whether he will be a progressive republican candidate for congress. Possibly after the meeting at Green Bay he will be ready to make a definite announcement. This much seems certain, he will not run if there is to be a fight for the nomination. ITe stated this morning that he knew nothing about his candidacy when the matter was first made public; that he had not been approached and had not even thought of the matter, but since then he has been urged to run by many people. For ten years Judge Kreiss has presided over the county court and his present term extends two years more.

It isjsaid that the Green Bay meeting is more to decide what method shall be pursued by the progressives in selecting delegates for the state convent ion, being, an apparent eoifflict in the law, as well as to talk over the congressional 'outlook. 1 CUPrD EVEN CHILLED 't BY 19 12 1 WEATHER Even cupid must "Jiave. been cJiilled by the weather of the past Aveek the first marriage, license1 to be taken out in Outagamie -coimty this" year was granted this morning.

(ft Is i 1 mm VEIERAHS IIDMR TO REACH M0 A if mm Frozen Needles Btovvn Mills of Back Walcr Troubled Room Dynamite was resorted to morning to. blow out the-needles in the middle dam to relieve the back water. All of the mills on the power have suffered from head or back water the past few days, caused by the ice forming in the tail race and dams.

Above the middle dam the water was held back by the needles being frozen in solidly- and measures were decided last night, to remove the needles, and 3 let through the water. Yesterday the water rose so high that it flooded Lake on -the flats arid: greatly, interfered I with the operation! of of the plants. ou the-river All -day yesterday 1 it was i-necessary to' keep the pumps at the pVnver house of the Wisconsin Traction, Light, Keat Power, company going to keep the water out, This was largely due to the Riverside Fibre Paper company's, paper mill being shut down and as the gates were frozen it was impossible for the water to be carried away fast enough to prevent its backing up. TheTFox River Paper company suffered Saturday when the back water came into the boiler room, flooding th stok ers, necessitating firing by hand. The Valley Iron works was also interfered with and at 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning, with the temperature at 27 below, work was commenced laying a.

Following another "coldest night in thirteen years," the mercury having gone to 27 ielow at Thiede's Saturday night a degree colder than the night before there was a sudden break in the conditions Sunday night, and this morning the mercury stood only 7 below at 7 o'clock, 20 degrees warmer than the previous morning. While" it was 15 Jjelow last night, the zero mark was reached at 1:45 o'clock this afternoon. Medicine Hat weather was from 14 to 18 above yesterday, which looks favorable, but the weather report is "Continued cold with colder in southeast portion." All prolonged records for zero weather have been broken. For over a solid week the mercury has been below zero. Starting in a week ago Sunday afternoon, following the special weather report of a drop of thirty degrees, it has been continuously below zero.

There has leen one fortunate, thing in connection with the cold. The snow which fell a few hours before the cold wave set in proved a great protection. But for that practically every water main might have frozen, while chances are that the leads -in to- houses would have been nip-, ped to a stand-still. The aid the snow lias been in banking houses has also been of great advantage. Those patronizing the local street cars have suffered the last few days.

At times Saturday the thermometer registered 23 and 24 in them, while yesterday it was impossible to get the cars warm, although the state-'law requires they be heated to 65. The inter-urban cars were more comfortable, although one of them was reported at 4G yesterday. This morning the old interurban cars were put on the local line, which jrrrjje conditions more. agreeablp. -St The break in the cold started shortly, after 6 o'clock last evening.

Those go-, ing home late slept with" more peacefully than the individual who did not leave his fireside Sunday night. At 10 o'clock the Sherman house thermometer, which registered 20 below at 10 o'clock in the morning showed only 7 below, three degrees warmer than it was at o'clock That same instrument showed only 4 below at "7 o'clock this morning. Snow followed the change in" temperature and those who did not go out last night knew of a change when they looked out and saw that several inches of snow had falleu and was still coming down. The cold had its effect on interurban travel. Last night an axle on one of the cars broke while passing over the Nee-nah bridge.

No damage was done other than to the axle, a fortunate incident, especially, when the accident incident, while crossing the river. It is a common tfhiiu for steel to snap" during the ex-Jtfrerne cold and this is one of the reasons railroad trains dare not try to make up lost time in weather like last week. -The cold also took down 200 feet of interurban cable on the Kaukauna line Saturday but did not delay traffic as only one wire went down. The interurban crew worked until midnight on the coldest night of the year repairing the damage. The fact that two plumbing firms had thirteen men working most of last week on frozen pipes shows the manner in which the frost worked into the hou.es.

It was necessary for nearly all of the plumbing men to work yesterday in a "labor of necessity and mercy" they came under the Sunday labor clause all right for in an effort to give people much needed relief. Wisconsin has- a wonderful climate. The poor can see remarkable changes as well as the rich changes which are not all welcomed, however. On June 22 The Crescent stated, "From 2 to 2:30 o'clock this afternoon Thiede's government thermometeregistered- 99 in the The evening did not bring much relief yesterday. Usually when the sun goes down there is a distinct drop in temperature in this latitude and especially in Wisconsin.

At 11 o'clock last night the thermometer registered 80 and the coolest time of the night it got down to only 74, which was one degree warmer than any night last-year. This morning the mercury started early on its upward tour and at 7 o'clock it was 82 and slowly but steadily climbing until it promised to reach that of yesterday." In spite of the great weather changes which America is subject to, due prob- us where cold accumulates and a northwest wind brings a chilling blast to all the country, in spite of this which (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUB) SEVEN HUNDRED PROMINENT DEMOCRATS TO MEET IN WASH-. 1 INGTON TONIGHT A LIST OF SPEAKERS Norman Mack, Champ Clark, Woodrow Wilson, Folk, Bryan Parker, Kern, -Hearst, Johnson, Pomerene, Gorman and Others Talk tSPKCIJLIi WASHINGTON CORHESPONDENX 01 TUB CRESCENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.

DEPARTM IS CALtED THREE TIMES G0DFIRN0N BUILDING HAS A NAR ROW, ESCAPE ON SUNDAY Fire Starts in Third Basement From an Oil Stove But is Discovered' in Time -Christmas Tree on Fire at Heuer House The old saying that when there is one fire there will be three, proved true again, for following the fire at the Globe hotel on Friday night, the department responded to an alarm on Saturday afternoon and another Sunday morning.

At 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon the department was called to the Heuer House, formerly known as the Crescent House, on Appleton street, Avhere a Christmas tree in one of the rooms on the first floor had caught on fire; The blaze was confined to the tree, but the wood work and paper was scorched and damaged to the extent of about $25. About 7 o'clock, Sunday morning a telephone call notified the department that the odor of smoke Was detected coming from the Godfirnon building on College avenue on the edge of the big ravine. The No. 1 company responded and when Mr. Godfirnon, who had been called from his home by telephone, arrived the fire was located in the third basement where he had placed an oil stove in the potato bin to keep the tubers from freezing.

A rough door- had caught on fire and three or four bushels of potatoes were ruined and the damage will not amount to over $10, but had the fire gotten a start during the night, the entire six-story building would doubtless have been destroyed. The No. 2 fire company was notified of a chimney fire at the home of Frank H. Neumann, 1071 Fifth street, about 9 o'clock Sunday morning, but therej was no damage.

There will be 100 participants in the entire show. Mr. Nunn comes here with a high reputation in his line. Ten years ago Leslie Austin took part in a show in Waukesha in which Nunn was the director and so' pleased was the Apple-ton singer with the director's work at that time that he has volunteered to take part in the local entertainment. Not only are the Elks showing much interest in the coming affair, but those outside of the order are coming to their aid, even strangers.

Ray O'Brien, son of Edward F. O'Brien, -government inspector at the new post office, has volunteered his services as accompanist. The young man is a remarkable player for one of his years and his services were readily accepted by those having the affair in charge. A program is to be gotten out by the Elks for the show.

There will be some unique features introduced with the new songs which Mr. Nunn has brought here with him and most of the soloists already have their parts committed. There will be a full rehearsal at the Elks' rooms at 8 o'clock tonight in which the ladies will take part.
