MAY NAME BOHMR|CH.
Kenosha Attorney Spoken of as a Can
didate for Democratic N0mina-
ton to Congress.
WOULD BE A STRONG MAN.
The Kenosha Man is Well known Among
the Politicians of Southern Wiscon-
sin.-A Useless Sacrifice.

The city of Kenosha may furnish
candidate for the race for the e1ecti@n
of a gresham in the First Wiscon-
sin district, as it is reported today that
an effort is being made to secure the
nomination for Hon. L. G. Bohmrich,
of this city. AS yet no work has been
done for the candidacy of Mr.. Bohm
rich, but wherever his name has been
mentioned it has been received very
favorab1y by his political friends.
OF course the honor is an empty one,
and it will be very hard task for any
man to defeat Mr.. Cooper, but if the
Democrats must put up someone Mr..
Bohn1rich sis' certainly prominently
qualified to fill the chair of the nomi-
nee. He is a campaigner with few
equals in WISCONSIN, and while he has
not been closely connected with poll
tics for more than decade, he has in
that time become known to all the peo-
pie in his Edistrict, and the state at
large has been forced to notice his
powers as an orator.
Mr.. Bohnrich has not as yet made
dIIJ statements az ~ NANSAASA " ~ I
he is a candidate tor the nomination,
but it is stated that if the nomination
is offered to him he will answer the
call of his party and show them how to
make hot campaign, and then accept
defeat. gracefully. Mr.. Bohnlrich has
been connected closely with local poll
tics for the past ten years, and has
made many friends among the German
voters in Kenosha and Racine cOun-
ties.
Two years ago he was nominated
against Senator Reynolds, and while
he was hope1ess1y defeated, he made a
strong canvass. The Kenosha man is
well up in the traditions of Democracy
in this state and has a large aCquaint
ance with state politicians. He has
frequently taken important parts at
political banquets and has always
taken his part with honor. His many
friends in this cityswou1d be pleased to
see him honored'with the nomination
for congress.
The date for holding the convention
has not as yet been set, but when the
County convention is held here on June
9th, the Bohmrich boom will be for
ma11y launched by the Democrats.

B. S. BROWN SELLS HIS PATENT.
Makes Deal With Chicago Capitalists for
the Manufacture of New Developer.

Makes Deal With Chicago Capitalists for
the Manufacture of New Developer.
Harry S. Brown, of the firm of Brown
& Schroeder, went to Chicago this
afternoon for the purpose of closing
deal for the sale of patent recently
granted to him on a new developer for
use by photographers.
1t is stated by people iii position to
know that the patent Of Mr.. Brown is
the most valuable discovery that has
been made in the Photographic world
in the last decade. 1t is a powder to be
used in the development of pictures.
1t is especially for the use of amateurs
and the experiments which have been
made, show that it is better developer
than anything that has ever been used
before. It reduces not only the time
used in the development of plates, but
it can be made at a much cheaper rrice
than other developers now in use by
the Photographic world.
AS soon as the patent is sold this
afternoon, plans will be made for the
opening of a plant to manufacture
nothing but the Brown developer.
Mr.. Brown was seen this morning
and stated that he knew little of the
plans of the purchasers Of the patent,
as the affair had been sold outright and
he will not be in any way connected
with it in the future.
While the price paid to Mr.. Brown
for the patent has not been made
pubic it is stated to have been very
large and it is also reported that
the Kenosha photographer will receive
2 royalty on future sales of his new
developer.

the work of the business in Kenosha.
He was a steady, hard working young

w. H. williams Gets Into Trouble at the
Northwestern Hotel

w, H. Williams was arrested by
Officers O'Hare and Newhouse Sunday
evening, on a charge of taking a
mandolin from the Northwestern hotel.
The man had been about the hotel all
day and during the afternoon he was

broken.
On the arrival of the officers Will
1ians left and secreted himself in a

Waukegan girls are certainly getting
very gay. Four of them cut off their
hair and went with soldiers of Fort
Sheridan. They started to New York
with the intention of marrying some
of the soldiers when they reached Cuba.
Luckily they were discovered at Chi
cago and sent back to Waukegan. We
can't blame the girls for wanting to
leave that sleepy village, but wouldn't
advise such heroic measures even if
their lovers are soldier boys.

What reason is there exclaimed Mr..
