THE STATE CIRCUIT.
The Chance the Whee1men Have For a
Big Race Day.


The wheelmen of Kenosha have the
first opportunity now before them that
they have yet had for a big professional
bicycle race meet. That is they can
have it if they want it. It depends
upon themselves.
The state racing board of the L. A.
W., Wisconsin. division, is making up a
list Of dates for the fall circuit. The
date August 81 is laid aside for Keno
sha if she desires it. That means that
on that day the big professional riders
aud many noted amateur riders would
come here that day to enter races and
put up as big bicycle meet as Keno
sha has ever seen. The circuit is so
made that every day is filled except
Sundays for about month. Nearly
all the famous riders follow these cir
cults. Now, the question is, do we
want them to come here for that day
to put up Dig event, which would be
the bicycle event of this year?
A number of the wheelmen who take
the most active interest in these things
are extremely anxious to get the meet
here. 1t would not take much activity
to secure it and already there is move
ment afoot to raise certain guaranty
fund to see if the prize cannot be
landed. B. S. Lane has started off
the subscription with $25. Now all
that is wanted beside is for ten men
to guarantee the amount Of $50 among
them and the thing can be done with
out much trouble. Already there are
two or three names on that guaranty
list. There might not be a cent of
that money needed. 1t is believed that
the meet would bring in more than
enough to pay all expenses, but in
cases of loss this fund is wanted to
cover all bills.
If wheelmen feei any interest in this
matter as they should they may make
their guarantees to Edward S. John
son, S. G. Newman or g. W. John
stOn.
The time is short before the time of
the meet. The date must be spoken
for soon or it will be closed out to
some other town.
Wheelmen, what do you think Of it?
Speak up, quick.

SECRETLY MARRIED.
Former Kemper Hall Student the
Bride.

Bride.
The following telegram from Cham
paign, H., tells of the marriage of Miss
Marian Niles, a former Kemper Hall
student who is we'll known in Kenosha
Champaign, ILL.,, July 3l.-A tinge
Of romance surrounds the wedding of a
couple well-known in Champaign soci-
ETY., news of which has just come to
light.
Mary E. Niles, the daughter of Col.
Edward p. Niles, of this city, is the
bride. She is Is years old and has
taken leading position in university
society. Joseph c. Smith, of Cairo, has
been visiting at the residence of Col.
Niles for several weeks. He is u years
of age. Information leaked out today
that Smith and Miss Niles had been
secretly married at Tuscola on July 3.
In applying for the marriage license
Mr.. Smith gave the residence of Miss
Niles as Chicago, in order to avert sus-
picion. When the license was returned,
however, it bore her correct address.
Society in Champaign is all agog over
the affair, but the young people take it
very quietly and seem to enjoy getti,, G
the laugh on their friends.

IN FAVOR OF GOOD ROADS.
Opinions On a Proposed Plank in the
Republican Platform.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has been
asking citizens all over the state for
their views on the adoption of the fol-
lowing plank in the republican state
platform this fall: We recognize the
movement for good roads, on the part
of farmers and others, and favor the
adoption of improved methods for their
construction and maintenance in our
state" The following are the replies
received from Kenosha republicans:
| endorse your movement and you
have my best wishes for the success OF
yourundertaking. THos. L. CARTER"
am heartily in favor of the adop-
ton of the plank you propose in the
republican state platform.
r. 81. SLOsSoN."
Both the republicans and the demo
Gratis embodied a good roads plank in
their platforms last fall in Massachu-
sets, and the democrats of Illinois have
just done the same thing. Pennsyl-
vania, New York and New Jersey have
had similar good roads planks in their
platforms within the last few years,
and an examination into the subject,
no doubt, will show others elsewhere.
This strengthens the belief of the good
roads men that Wisconsin conventions
will similarly recognize the demand for
better highways.

Cant. w. r. LYMAN.

Capt. W. r. Lyman and wife, of
New Orleans, arrived in the coun-
ty Oh last Friday. he made this
long journey for the purpose of
meeting the survivors Of the High
land company Of which he was
captain, aud he has spent the week
in HUNTING them up and talking
over The times when as Y. nj. |.
cadet he was sent to this county
to drill raw recruits and
was afterwards made captain of Go.
B, Dist Va. Regiment.
DR.. Fl. II, Jones and Martin V.
Steuart accompanied the captain
and his wife to this part of the
county, where they were entertain
eddy Capt. MathenY, 0. Wilson,
and others. While here they made
a short drive iuto the extreme west
ern pOrEion Of the county and spent
short while with an old comrade,
Mr.. Frank Gum, who was in time
Of war true soldier and is in time
of peace a valued citizen.
Yesterday the party returned to
to the Mcdowell neighborhood and
will be in readiness for the reunion
that will take place tomorrow
Seventeen years ago Captain Ly-
man visited Che county and was
given hearty welcome. The boys
we're called together on that occa-
sion, as they viii be on this, but it
will be sad Co witness how the ranks
have been broken in those seYen-
teen years. Of the few who sur
vived the heroic struggle many
have since fallen in the battle Of
life. Those remaining will not be
the jolly soldier boys Of thirty-one
years ago, but they will show by
their gray hairs and broken pace
that Time has set his seal upon
them, foreshadowing that they too,
will erelong be called to join the
silent majority, when the pleasures
Of reunions here will have past.
Capt. LYMAN gained great prom
inence in his city and state, is an
influential man, and has been sue
cessful in his business pursuits. 1t
IS plainly noticeable that. he has a
warm place in his heart for High
land soldiers, and will ever hold
them in fond remembrance. In
turn, his comrades are endeared to
their leader, and it is with the ten
derness Of love they welcome him
again.

Mr.. Robert B. Palmer, editor OF
the State Register, Washington c.
H., Ohio, said while visiting Wash
ington: I'm my country which is
a splendid agricultural region, the
feeling is strong for free coinage,
and it is by no means confined to
the democrats. Any number Of
silver clubs have been formed and
every one has ia it's membership a
goodly percentage Of men who
have invariably voted the republ-
can ticket. This is not hearsay. for

men. In addition to this, republi-
can orators are taking the stump
for Bryan and are doing excellent
missionary work. Boiling sound

Yes, the Indianapolis convention
has placed third ticket in the field,
John NJ, Palmer, Of Illinois, at the
head, and Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, Of Kentucky, secOndplace.
They may be very good men, but
one thing certain, they are not dem
ocrats and cannot hope to receive
the general support Of that party.
IF Highland county has a support
err Of this ticket, he
has not had the courage to
let it be known. Highland demo-
Gratis consider that the honorable
position for them to occupy is on
the Chicago platform, and they will
support the nominees Of the party
who stand on that platform, be-
cause the platform was made and
the candidates thereon nominated
by "a large majority Of the regular
Ia constituted delegation Of the ma
tional democratic party
For a long time there has been a
large free silver element in the
democratic party, and Sine after
time its supporters have gone into
convention hoping to be heard, but
being in the minority, they have
quietly submitted to the rulings of
the majority and have earnestly
supported and worked for the cause
of democracy, although IN some
points against their convictions.
Now that the tables. have turned
and free silver has had a hearing
ond has,been constituted the stron-
oest plank in the democratic plat
form. it is the duty of trne demo-
Gratis to stand on it, and on the 3D.
Of November the vote will show
that Highland dem ocra9y has not
her colors.

A letter has been received at
democratic headquarters from II.
A. Watkins, prominent lawyer Of
Lancaster, Wisconsin, which an
swers the republican assertion that
silver sentiment is dying out in that
State. Mr.. Watkins writes: "The
situation in Wisconsin is very IA
vorabIe, and quite as good. if not
better for the democracy than it
was at this period of the campaign
of 1892, when we carried the State.
The socalled silver craze is not dy-
ing out here, our republican friends
to the contrary Notwithstanding"
