Son of Man Visits Waukegan-Con-
WINGED Body is Not His Father.

ance of Jorgen Fredsen from Kenosha

visit to Waukegan on Tuesday after
noon 10 investigate the identity of a
body washed up by the lake there and

found at Waukegan was such as to
convince the son that it could not have

REPUBLICAN TICKET IS FILLED
Attorneys Insist That Mayor Can Hold
Office of Member of Assembly and
He is Red Hot Candidate For the
Office.

Charles H Whitcher of Bristol has
formally announced himself as candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
sheriff and papers for his nomination
were placed in circulation in the diff
ferent wards of the city on Monday
evening and they will be sent out in
the different towns of the county before
the end of the week. 1t is practically
assured that Whitcber will have no OPP
position for the nomination. The an
nouncement of the candidacy of Whit
cher gives assurance that the Republic
ans will have candidate for every
place on the ticket and the make up of
the primary ticket in keeping with the
petitions now sent out by the county
clerk is as follows:
Member of Assembly-Walker NJ.
Curtiss of Trevor
Sheriff Charles H. Whitcher of
Bristol
County Clerk-Russen H. Jones of
Kenosha.
Register of Deeds-Perkins C. Torrey
Of Kenosha.
Clerk of the Court-Frank Waldo of
Bristol
County TEeasurer-PbiIip Hartman,
Jr., Kenosha; Ansei T. Dorothy, Ken
osha; William c. schmitz, Kenosha;
Raymond Powell, Kenosha.
District Attorney-Robert Verne
Baker, Kenosha.
Coroner-Dr. F. E. Andre, Kenosha.
.surveyor-Jhhn J, Williams, Keno
sha.
State senator-Isaac T. Bishop of
Somers.
1t is generally believed that there
will be no further candidates in the
field for any of the Offices and that the
above will be the make up of the prim-
airy ticket when it is presented to the
voters on September 9th.
AS there will be opposition but for
one nomination the Republican candi-
dates will make q special effort to get
out the vote of the party on account of
the twenty per cent rule. The candi-
dates must receive at least 700 votes
in order to get their names on the tic
ket under the party designation
The leaders of the Democracy declare
that they have secured legal advice to
the fact that Mayor Scholey may hold
the Office of mayor and member of the
assembly and the mayor is a red hot
candidate to represent Kenosha county
in the legislature. 1t is declared by his
close political friends that the nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor is not
sought by the mayor at this time and
that he will not circulate any petitions
as candidate for the Office.
The Democratic leaders are already
offering to wager on the result in Ken
osha county and one of them declared
last night that the machine that swept
the mayor into office last spring has
been held intact and that it will be
used to elect him to the place in the
Legislature and that he will carry with
him into Office the entire Democratic
ticket. This prediction must be taken
with a grain of salt but it is certain
that the Democrats plan to make the
hardest fight in the history of the party
to secure control of the county Offices
this fall.

CRASH IN STOCKS
SENDS PRICES TO
new Low MARKS
Free Offerings and Little De-
mand Causes Another Break.
Recovery Later.

NEW YORK. July e.-Thers was a
crash in the price OF stocks with the
opening of tho stock market again to-
day. The paralysis Of demand and the
free offerings were similar to yester-
days and produced like results In the
rapid crumbling Of prices.
The tone of the comment reported
from interior bankers and the situation
presented by the speculation in farm
lands were not liked. The slump made
low prices for the year in a few promi-
nent stocks, including Union Pacific.
Reading and u. s. Steel. Prices re-
bounded in the course of the first half
hour. This was after Reading, Union
Pacific, Kansas and Texas, Wabash
preferred. Rock Island, Chesapeake and
Ohio, American Car and some others
had shown losses OF 21h to points and
the general active list to points.
Before the days session of the stock
exchange had half expired the market
turned very strong and prices recovered
to above last nights level. The trans
continental railroad stocks and Read
ing lead the rally, establishing ad-
vances of 1 to 2 points over yester-
days last prices. The weakness of
wheat and corn In connection with re-
ports Of favorable weather for those
crops had a Strengthening effect, on
stocks.
The downward course of foreign
exchange caused an expectation that
gold would be imported and strength
ened the banking position. There was
evidence of some buying for support
supposed to be by important banking
interests while prices were declining.
The uncovered shorts were induced to
buy by this department and helped on
the recovery.
