GUARDS HIS FENCES.
Hon. L. G. Bohmrich Comes From Mi1wau-
kee to Look Into His Candidacy.


Hon. L. G. Bohmrich, formerly
Democratic candidate for Governor, is
in town today giving the ''g1ad hand"
to his supporters in this part of the
state and incident1y doing little law
business. Mr.. Bohmrich seems to be
the leading Democrat in the state and
his nomination for the race for Cover
nor is being opposed by Mayor Rose,
of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Bohmrich stated today that it
was a little early to talk politics but
that he would take the matter up later
on. Mr.. Bohmrich consented to the
publication of the following statement
in regard to his campaign;
SIN order to relieve myself from
arduous 1abors," said Mr.. Bohmrich, :"
"I have taken a few days vacation
from which have just returned, and I
am too busy with professional duties to
consider political situations to be de-
termined year hence, and while am
grateful to those who are urging my
denomination think it wise to let the
matter drop until such a time when
the question may become proper sub
iect of discussion.''

500 REWARD, S1OO.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
Iy upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

United States Navy Officials Offer
Reward for Arrest of Ben Lund-
quist, of This City.
HE WAS A NAVAL APPRENTICE.
Had Enlisted in Chicago Year Ago, and
Has Been Missing for Some Time
Foul Play is Possible.

The police in Chicago have received
yard at Boston asking that an effort
be made to secure 'the arrest of Ben
Lundquist, a Kenosha boy who is
charged with having deserted from the
navy. Lundquist was an apprentice
on board the United States training
ship Wabash and disappeared some
weeks ago. There is no absolute evil
dence that the boy is deserter and it
is possible that he met with some foul
play.
Lundquist was one of the brightest
Kenosha boys who ever sought a ca
reer in the navy. He left Kenosha in
June of 1900 and went to Chicago
where he enlisted as an apprentice for
a period of three years. He had been
model boy on board the ship and was
in line for advancement until few
days ago when he disappeared and his
name was placed on the list of the
men who had deserted from the service
of the navy. Ten dollars reward has
been offered for his arrest.
The friends of Ben Lundquist in
Kenosha will not credit the claim that
he is deserter and it is thought pos
sible that he has met with some foul
play. Lundquist was intensely inter
ested in his work on the training ship
and for years before he had enlisted he
had desired to enter the navy. His
friends opposed the move but finally
with a party of friends he went to
Chicago and enlisted for TIE rest of
his minority.
If young Lundquist is deserter he
has not returned to his home in this
city and the Chicago officers who were
here Wednesday looking for him
found no trace of him. When last
heard from Lundquist was perfectly
satisfied with his work and showed no
sign of deserving his post. 1t is to be
hoped that young Lundquist will be
found and his honor indicated.
In the meantime it is very probable
that many of the officers of the navy
detective service will be searching in
and about Kenosha in hope of locating
the missing boy. If Lundquist is alive
he will never be allowed to go without
accepting the punishment for leaving
the service under these conditions.

SAD DEATH OF A CHILD.
Little Alexander Cowie, of winthrop Har-
Dor, Expires at Dr.. Windesheim's Office.

Dor. Expires at DR.. Windeshe1m' Office.
Alexander Cowie, the little eight
months-o1d son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Cowie, of Winthrop Harbor, died sud
denly at the office of DR.. Windesheim
in this city Wednesday evening. The
little child had been brought to this
city for treatment, but the trip evil
IDENTIFY proved too much for the weak
ened patient and death came before
treatment could be secured. The child
had been i'll for about three weeks
with cholera infantum, but it had so
improved that the parents decided to
bring it to Kenosha Wednesday even
ing. They reached the DOCTORS Office
shortly after O'Clock and the mother
was forced to wait for a short time for
the coming of the physician. When
the doctor arrived the little one was
dying and it was impossible to do any
thing to pro1ong its life. The body of
the child was prepared for burial and
returned to it's home later in the even
ing. The home coming was sad one
and the friends of the little fellow were
almost Frustrated by the sudden death.

RESEMBLES A MONUMENT.
Pintsch Light on Racine Reef OF No Earth
ly Good to Vessel Men.

Marine men are beginning to wonder
what benefit the Pintsch light on Ra-
cire reef is to them. For six months
the light has not been burning and of
no protection whatever on a dark and
stormy night warning steamers and
vessels of the dangerous rocky bottom.
The chances are it will remain useless
during the fall and winter. It is
claimed that the apparatus is defective;
that the pipes or gas tanks leak and
the supply of gas will not last for the
time intended. This fault is laid at the
doors of the company who put in the
tanks, and the government has notified
them that the job'wil1 not be accepted
until the light is so fixed that it will fill
ali of the requirements of the contract.
The firm has promised to make repairs,
but the crib is still in darkness and the
solid mass stands like a monument
marking a possible graveyard for
sailors.

NEW BOARD ORGANIZES.
Water Commissions Wll1 Continue Policy
Outlined by Former Members

The new board of water commits
sioners met at the city hall last even
ing to organize and to hold their first
meeting. The board was organized
and E. r. Head was elected as presi-
dent of the board. The former policy
outlined by the old board will be con-
tinued and the crusade for the intro
ductiOn of the meter system will be
pushed until the meters are installed in
all parts of the city.
The first work of the new board was
to order the laying Of five blocks of
fourteen-inch main from the pumping
station. The main will be in the form
of an emergency main. 1t will extend
from the pumping station in a round
about way to the corner of Main and
Wisconsin streets, where it will be
connected with the mains supplying
the both sides of the city with water.
This main will be of great advantage,
as it will insure water for all parts of
the city. In case the other main, which
is now an old main, should become
damaged, the water could be turned
into the new main and the city water
supply would be left intact.
The new board will rush the work on
the new pumps and the repairs of the
pumping station, and, if possible, have
them completed by the last of this year.

Williams and Delaney Sentenced to State
Reformatory.


William Delaney. aged Is years,
formerly of this city, and James
Williams, aged II years, were ar
raigned in the municipal court at Ra-
cine Wednesday afternoon on charge
of having burg1arized the grocery store
of G. J. Hartweg, located on Four
teenth street in that city on the 4th
day Of August and having stolen So in
money, 100 postage stamps and sill
yer watch worth $12. When Judge
F1ett asked the boys if they had any
thing to say they said no, except that
they were in need of money and that
they happened to be passing the store
and went in and did the job.
Both were sent to the Green Bay
reformatory for not less than one year
nor more than three years. The boys
took the sentence coolly and did not
mind it at all.

THEIR LAST REUNION
Members of the First Cavalry Second the
Invitation of the People of Kenosha.


In connection with the invitation
sent out Wednesday by the Kenosha
members of the Grand Army for the
coming reunion of the First Cavalry
in this city the committee in charge of
the reunion have sent out the follow
ing notice:
COMRADES:
You can scarcely read the cordial
and generous bidding of the Kenosha
people las contained in the accompany
ing circu1ar) to make their city our
home at the time of our coming reNn-
ion, without sincere and grateful APP
probation. Those of us who spent
that memorable winter of 1862 IN
tents by the lake at Kenosha, have al
ways remembered the warm hearted,
patriotic citizens of that place with
kindly emotions which lose none of
their fervor as the years pass; and
those who joined the regiment after
we went South, used to hear the story
of our life there, and the praises of the
Kenosha people so continuously, that
one and all will be equally glad to line
I'D and meet each other and them, hand
to hand and heart to heart on that old
historic ground. From the responses
already received it is apparent that
more comrades will attend than at any
reunion which the regiment has ever
held, and by coming at this time you
will meet old associates whom you may
not have seen before since the war
Furthermore is is probable that this is
the last general reunion which the
regiment can ever hold, so we trust
you will do your utmost to be present
and will pass the word along, urging
those who shared your tent and blank
ct with you to come also.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
Report of Finance Committee of Council
Brings Interesting Points to Light.

At the request of number of tax
payers we publish today the report of
the finance committee of the council in
regard to the money used by The city
schools in the last three years. The
report shows some very interesting
points in this connection. 1t follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Councils:
GENTLEMEN: - Your Committee on
Finance to whom was referred the
certificate of the Board of Education
certifying that said board did on the
23rd day of July, A. D. 1901, duly
determine that the sum necessary to be
raised by taxation in the city of Keno
sha for school purposes for the ensuing
year, under the provisions of the Re-
vised Charter of said city, is the sum
of $37, 1886, would respectfully report
that we have carefully investigated
said matter and find that the council
has no option but to raise the amount
certified to as necessary, viz, $37, 1886,
and your committee would therefore
recommend that said amount be raised
by taxation upon the assessable prop
erty of the city of Kenosha.
Your committee desire to call atten-
ton to the school census of the past
three years, also to the amount of the
Board of Educators estimate in said
time.

THEIR BUSY YEAR.
Business Colleges Of the City See a
Prosperous Year Ahead.
DEMAND FOR GRADUATES LARGE
Unusual Interest Has Been Awakened
Among the Youth of Country
Districts.

Sons and daughters of farmers, in
larger numbers than usual, are coming
to Minneapolis this fall to take courses
in the city's business colleges. II pres
ent indications count for anything, the
general prosperity of the country has
turned the minds of farmers toward the
necessities of practical education for
their children. The farmers feel that
with any kind Of show they can make
things 20 on the farm, but they are
learning more and more that careful ac-
counting means economy and they want
their boys and girls to do this account
ing whether on the farm or in business.
This feeling has led to an unusually
large correspondence with principals OF
local business schools. The principals
say their correspondence has Increased
from 25 to so per cent over that OF last
fall and contains numerous inquiries
frem the country. The schools of the
city have q good reputation and have
presented their claims upon the youth
Of the country districts by careful ad-
vertising.
The business Office Of one Of these in.
stitttions has correeponded this fall with
those who made inquiries last year, but
| for good reasons did not follow up the
matter. The result has been surprising.
The Office has been overwhelmed with
letters and will be hard pushed until
the opening Of tho term in September
to answer all of it's inguirers.
Office Aejn Scarce.
The business men Of the city are in
terested in the matter as we'll as the
business college instructors and owners.
Although the farmers boys do not BE-
gin to come in until the middle OF Octo-
ber or the first Of November there are
so many others who wish to prepare for
Office positions that the schools will be
busy from the opening day. These
students are the ones for whom the en-
ployers of Office help are eagerly wait
ing. Never in twenty years has the
business been so swamped with orders
for stenographers and Office clerks. One
college received seven telephone calls
early 70 day which could not be filed
Minneapolis Journal, August 81, 1901. !.
In speaking Of business colleges it is
we'll known that the Curtiss Business
College and Gregg Shorthand School OF
Minneapolis is the best in the North
west. Wesbelieve all our readers inter-
ested in their sone' and daughters sue
csss should get full particulars regard
ing business course in this school.

BEWARE Of 's0G|a[ls|n
IT IS DANGEROUS

1t is extremely dangerous to under
staad Socialism, so beware of it! Do not,
under any circumstances, read about it!
1t might open your eyes so that you could
secthat Socialism was nothing more or
less than the ethics of Christianity,-the
Golden Rule applied to every day life,
and that wouldn't do at all, because you
might become discontented with your
condition ain which it has pleased Provi
dence to place you," and you might con-
clude to compel the rich idlers to go to
work and support themselves instead of
you supporting them as you now do. 1t
will be much better to let the capitalists,
your masters, do your reading and think
ing. Slaves have no right to read, think
or reason-it makes them demand un-
reasonable things, such as real homes,
shorter work days, the full value of the
product of their labor, etc. 1t will be bet
ter to continue voting the old party ticket
even though it makes pauper of you and
your family 60 hungry and wear rags.
Above all things don't read any Socialist
books. such as Bellamy's Equality" +"
Blatchford's "Merrie England" Sprague's S
Socialism from Genesis to Revelation, .
Or such papers as the appeal to Reason" ="
the "Workers' Call" the missouri Social
ist," or the Representative" Such liter
ature will poison your mind. l note with
much satisfaction that there is one man
in the United States who has assumed the
role of press censor, and proposes, so far
as lies within his power, to prevent the
Great American Voting Kings from read
ing Socialistic papers, and with this end
in view he has denied mailing privileges
except at prohibitive rates of postage, to
challenge" of New York, and "Under-
