Some woeks ago tho Oconto Enterprise made tho announcement that there would bo good politics as well as Justice in the demarcatlc party again nominating Louis G.

Bomrich or this city ror governor. Many of tho dem ocratic papers commented on uto proposition, but there was no evidence that it was a part of a plan pretty well organized to which Mr. Bchmrich was a. party. That Mr.

Batlour, editor of tho Enterprise, was in a position to speak with 'knowledge cxlBtlng between tho two believe, for during tho campaign ending In Bohm-rich'B defeat tho Oconto man was one of his clcae nnd conuuental advisers.

YES The Famous Chicago Girl Author Will Be Married to John Black Next (January. Chicago, Sept. Miss Margaret Horton Potter sat In the music room of the Potter mansion on the Lake Shore drlvo yesterday afternoon and played a Schumann reverie. A few ncurs earlier her parents, Sir. and Mrs.

0. W. Potter, had announced tho young author's engitge-raont to John Black of Chicago, son of General John C. Black. Miss Potter had dropped her pen and wns taking a holiday.

Her new novel. "Cleopatra," on which she has been working since her recent trip abroad, was shelved for the hour. and the writer's thoughts must tinvo been on the reverie she was playing. Schumannn had made a hit. He referrlnng to Schumann was recall" lug tho early days in Juno, when Miss Potter met Mr.

Black at the Winston-Lawrence wedding. She found something literature had not been ablo to supply, and now they are 'to he married. In January the ceremony will take place and in Chicago tho Black Juniors will live. After tne Winston Lawrence wedding Miss Potter went to Lane Geneva; so did Mr. Black.

They were members of the same house parties, sailed In the, same boats, danced to the same music. He would read while she wrote; thus love and her career tramped on together. MIbsv Potter turned from her reverie yesterday and sold: "Yes, we are to be married. We did not Intend to announce it so soon. I wonder where the rumor sprang from." She wore a summer gown or light blue stuff, and as she arose from the piano one was impressed by the height and seeming physical strength of the young woman.

Her race, always pale, did not flush as tradition says cheeks do at such a time. Her uctk eyes might have been a little darker, but that was all that betrayed the feeling said to exist In the author's heart. She was not too preoccupied to be pleasant; neither did she look about ror a soft light In which to pose. She has no frills in conversation, and knows how to say yes and no In a direct way. That nho had said yes to Mr.

Black readily asserted, and then she added tho wedding and the now book might t-e announced together. Stipt. T. A. Lawson of the North-vestem was in the clt? yesterday.

DID NOT FILE HIS EXPENSE ACCOUNT Isaac Stephenson, the Half-Braed Leader, Is 8ubject to a Fine of $500, Under State Laws. Milwaukee, September 6. One ot the results of the struggle within tho republican party Is a revival or the story that Isaac Stephen- son will be called upon to pay fine for not filing a statement of his expenses In the senatorial campaign ot 1899. Under the corrupt practices act every candidate is required to file a statement of all the expenses incurred by him In aeeklnv nfflm within r.

certain time, in case of a failure to do this he is liable of a fine of-nat exceeding $500. After the fight that resulted! In tlie election of Senator Quarles alt of the candidates filed with the secretary of state the required state-wont. With the excentlon nf Mr Rtontt. enson. When asked fcr an explanation he said that he had not heard of the law until a few days.

before the time had expired, and he therefore thought that it would be better to stand a fine than to try and get a statement ready In time. Nothing rurther was done about the matter. Lately some newspapers have referred to the Incident as an argument against Mr, StepneaBonV standing In, the administration- cainp, and It is said that action will be taken, which will make It necessary fcr htm to' pay the fine assessed under the law for; his forgetfullnesB of a few. years agu. In order to do this some one will have to make complaint, and there Is a gcod deal of guessing a to who the complainant will be.

They continue building their vlllag- cs in the sanvo fashion, with their wocdea thatched huts close together, and it is usually only when a forest op peat fire begins to threaten a village that any effort la made to ex tinguish The fire ravages have ncen unusually, large this year.

The Selection of the Columbia to again defend America's cup is a topic of dls-cuslon In the yochUng world today.

Even at titia early date the New York Yacht club members state mat the constitution will be sent ncrosB to bring the cup bacU if the Colombia loses It. Gloom on Constitution Mr. Duncan went back to the Constitution and- announced the news to Captain Rhodes, who In turn told the crew.

A more gloomy lot of fellows than those oa tho Constitution and on the tender Mount Morris it would have been hard to find anywhere. Not a man among them expected any such selection and every man among them Is Jwst a-i confident that the ConsU-tutlon Is the beter oat as he Is that there is a boat named Constitution. The boat baa been in hard luck since it was launched, but even with hard luck It has beaten Columbia by much more than It has been beaten by the Columbia. Altogether the yachts have 'sailed In twenty-two Of these eighteen have been called to a finish and four have not' been completed for various reasons. Up i' the time of the first trlai race last Saturday each yacht has won eight times.
