SNAP SHOTS,

The hardest conundrum an ed
itor runs up against is to know
what not to say and when to say
it.
During the dust storm We'd
nesday it seemed as though only
the very homeIiest people were
out. We were among them.
Those who were wont to meas
ure their "good times by the
lateness of the hour when they
retired have been forced to retire
early or walk the streets since
the fire. The chairs are all oc>
cupied by che poker players.
Most women dread getting to
that age where certain styles of
hats look too young for them.
But they do get there. -7-:~-'~.s*:@=::
The hardest thing to find is
the article we put away so as to
know just where to lay orr hand
on it.
1t is rot always the girl who
gets the fumes of the kitchen

the best cook; nor is it always

We sometimes find people who

knew as much as their imagina-
tion leads them to believe they
do.

Appreciates Tri-City Invitation
and May Be Here in

COMING TRIP ALL PLANNED FOR,

Going to Detroit Later, However. and
If He Extends the Tour to St. Paul
He VIII Include Rock Island Arsen-
al and the Cities Clustering About
the Great Institution.
Secretary B. D. Connolly, of the
Rock Island Club, is in receipt OF a
letter from Congressman Joe K. Lane
with reference to the tri-city joint in
vitation to Admiral Dewey 10 visit
Rock Island arsenal and the three
cities during his western trip early
the coming month. MIR. Lane states
that Admiral Dewey was just about
starting for the south when the invi-
tation reached Washington, and that
he asked for an audience with the adj
miral Immediately upon his return.
Wednesday morning, Congressman
Lane states, Admiral Dewey sent word
to him that he would receive him.
Mr.. Lane says that on the short no.
tice he was unable to get Congressman
Prince and Senator Cullom to accom-
pany him, but that he did get Senator
Allison to accompany him, and the invl-
tation was thereupOn presented. The
admiral expressed great appreciation
of the invitation, and very emphatic
ally a desire to visit the three cities
and Rock Island arsenal. His route,
however, for his western trip from
Chicago to St. Louis has all been
made up for some time, and it would
be impossible, the admiral stated.
now, to arrange for an acceptance of
his invitation on this trip.
NAV Come In June.
Admiral Dewey said further,
though, that he had accepted an invi-
tation to go to Detroit in June, and
was contemplating at the same time
acceptance of invitations from Mil
waukee and ST. Paul, and that if he
went to the latter Place he would GER
tainly arrange, if possible, to accept
the invitation to visit the three cities
on that trip. Congressman Lane
says in conclusion: Il feel very much
encouraged with the prospect of get
ting the admiral to accept this invita-
ton, and Senator Allison concurs in
| the hope" Mr.. Lane says that moth
ing will be left undone to have the adj
miral in the three cities.

Candidacy.
THEO. KERSrEN UNRESERvEDLyFOR BRYAN
This New Turn of the Political Wheel Adds
Much to the Spice of the Campaign
Said That Mr., Schmitz Speaks for
His Firm.

Several new democratic gubernatorial
candidates have made their appearance
during the past few days. Among them
are Theo. Kersten of Calumet county,
who has unreservedly come ont for
! w. j. Bryan and F. w. Won Cotzhau
sen of Milwaukee. The Milwaukee
Germania, quoting Adolph J. Schmitz,
makes the announcement. Mr. Schmitz
speaks of Mr.. Won Cotzhausens career
as a state senator when he warmly
advocated taxing railroad corporations
lust as much as ordinary individuals,
He saws Mr.. Won Cotzhausen is very
positive character and us such has some
enemies. but ut the same time he has
many warm friends. His ability to fill
the office of governor is unquestioned,
the lawyer says. Mr.. Won Cotzhausen
himself SAYS he has been asked to run
for governor and when the matter Is
again laid before him he will give II
definite answer. 1t is said that Messrs
Won Cotz lau Ell and Bohmric h are W Grm
personal friends and that tire rivalry
between them for the nomin.l ton will
be dignifed. tits generally believed that
the Germania speaks by the card in
booming Mr. Won Cotzhausen.
Some of the Milwaukee Democrats
are inclined TO look aslIance at the
attempt Of the Republican paper, the
| Germania TO name the Democratic
nominee for governor Mr. Brumder 5
advocacy Of F. w. Won Cotzhausen' 5
cause is therefore taken with grain of
allowance by those who look upon the
matter in this way. On the other hand
there are Democrats who think that the
Germania would support Mr.. Won Cotz-
hansen or Mr. Bohmrich, if either of
these Germ&u-Americans should be
nominated by the Democrats Mr..
Pohmrich is q new man in Democratic
politics. and first came into prominence
this summer, when he was elected
as a. delegate-at-larg to Kansas City
over. Thomas l.. Cleary This was
case Of a German pitted against an
freshman and The German won. The
most significant part of the whole thing
is the attitude of a. J, Schmitz. 1t was
commonly believed that all the Milwau-
lee leaders would support Louis BONN
rich, and this is the first break in the
Bohmrich boom. Some 90 50 far as to
say that Mir SChmitz speaks for the
other members of his Democratic firm

is the accepted man in that quarter,

business did not take the local Democ-
racv entirely by surprise, as the matter
has been talked of for several days and
the Wisconsin mentioned the possibility
