GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Mystery prevails around the Grand
opera house, and Manager Bunnen and
his executive staff are busy as bees.
Strange men, with rolls of wire, step
ladders and various tools of trade, are
going in and out, and the only explana-
ton given is, We're going to have the
vitascope here on Thursday night"
What is the vitascope?' We'll, it's
something Edison has just got up. 1t
settles actors and dancers like the troll
ley has settled car horses. When you
have the vitascope you don't need act
ors. Some one turns on the electric
current, and it does the rest. You sit
down and see whole scenes from plays;
you see Cissy Fitzgerald dance just as
naturally as though she were before
you. The vitascopes in Boston and in
New York are making her do the same.
Pretty soon Cissy Fitzgerald will be

enth partition.
Later in the day Joseph B. Morse took

drawn in 1892. The provisions of this
will are substantially the same as the
first and it will be probated. The es-
tate, which will amount to about $75,-
900, will now be divided into six parts,
owing to the death of Algernon Morse.
who has died since the will was made.

direct loss to the retail merchant and
manufacturer. When a workingman
cannot obtain fair wages for days
work and have fairly steady work the
year around. he cannot purchase of the
commodities made and kept for sale in
very generous proportion. He gener-
ally gets along with as little as posi-
pie, for the true workingman is an hon.
est man. Then the merchant is left
with his stock of goods on hand, to
shoulder the burden of taxation and
dream of prosperity that might have
been.
No, Mr.. Editor, let's be fair. We
believe in our doctrine as good as you
do in yours. We are looking both sides
squarely in the face and choose the side
that our bread is buttered on. Fur
thermore, we believe that by our active
antagonism to Organism we enhance
the chances Of preserving the genuine
principles Of true democracy and are
fully convinced that time will show the
propriety of our present attitude.

IN INTEREST OF FAIRNESS.
Letter the Gazette Refused to Publish
Is All Right for Fair People

Is All hlgnL lot fa1r Fe0p1e.
Following we publish letter written
by H. c. Schulz in answer to the charge
III the Gazette that the gold democrats
were, in substance, up as a side show
to the republican party, only to get
laughed at for their pains. The letter
was handed the editor of that paper so
that in fairness his readers might be
given at least one other side than his
own to the matter. Publication was
refused, when it was handed in at this
Office. In the interests of candor, fair
ness and honesty the letter is given
space, since in itself it is so fairly and
mildly composed that it ought to con-
vince any fair minded citizen that there
was an honest purpose behind it. The
letter follows:
TO THE EDITOR: I'm your issue of
yesterday find an article wherein you
claim that the republicans were able
to turn such men as w. W. Strong,
j. B. Kupfer, E. G.. Hazelton and Ell. c.
Schulz against their own party, and
after election will laugh in their faces.
Well, Mr.. Editor, this is rather
strong language to US upon citizenes
who give their time, their influence and
money to a cause they cherish without
expecting further reward than to keep
up the established principles of the
good old democratic party, the party of
Jefferson and Jackson, of Tilden and of
Cleveland.
know not what my co-laborers may
think Of it, and cannot believe that
they were led into the support of our
worthy nominees, Palmer and Buckner,
by any pressure any one, or all the re-
publiCans Of kenOSha could bring to
bear. But do know that our avowed
object, openly expressed, is to defeat
W. J. Bryan for the presidency, and we
do not hesitate to use all honorable
means to that end.
When you look over the names of
the gold democrats in this city and
county, you find men of long established
business reputation and character, men
of influence in commerce and trade.
They do not belong to the perpetual
office seeking class, but all prefer to
attend strictly to their own business
and give attention TO public affairs
only when it directly concerns them.
They have nothing to gain from poll

Efforts will be started soon looking
toward the organization of single tax
club here in Kenosha. For some time
we have had quite colony of believers
in the Henry George theory, but they
have kept very quiet about it. Now
they propose to get speakers here and
boom the thing bit.
James Cavanagh who spoke at Sa-
lem Thursday evening with d. F. Ty-
rell found himself without his notes
when he came to the platform. In
spite of the fact, however, he made a
fine speech. An intelligent man from
Illinois was heard to remark that ii
was one of the best speeches q had yet
heard on the money question and the
results of free silver.
Farmers in Racine and Kenosha
counties complain of hunters visiting
their farms and shooting promiscuously
in fact it is frequent occurrence to
find ducks, chickens, and even turkeys
lying about the farm dead. 1t is pro-
posed to organize a society to prosecute
these reckless persons for trespass and
also for malicious mischief. Charles
Fink had warrants issued at Racine for
the arrest of two we'll known young
men on charge of killing turkeys. One
was fined $40 and the other received Il
similar dose. Often horses and cattle
are hit by stray shots.
E. C. Johnson, the we'll known pro-
fessional bicycle rider, ran in to make
call on G. j. Gronquist Thursday.
Today he returned to his home in
Cleveland, O. Miss Gronquist accom-
panied him back. Mr.. Johnson made Il
pleasant call on this paper. He says
professional cycling is getting worse
and worse every year and that unless
the people encourage fast riders more
than they have this season there will
be few riders to follow up the business.
He says the manufacturers are with
drawing their support more and more
all the time, SO that it will not be long
before there will be no riders if other
support does not arise. Rather a
gloomy outlook, but Mr.. Johnson be-
lieves it to be the correct one.

the knowledge that SO many forms of

KANSAS CORN IN MEXICO.

Kansas corn which IS sold in the local
markets al from eight to As cents per
busheI. at the southern terminus Of the
Mexican railroad system brings $1.s7 a
bushel
The government has been making
great efforts for some years to estab-
lish a European market for American
corn. 1t would seem that the time and
money so expended might be better
utilized in an effort to assist the Amer
lean producer of corn in getting some
of this difference between eight cents
and S1S7 to compensate him for his
work
Mexico is much nearer the corn fields
of the west than is Germany. The
Mexican does not require edu-
eating to the use of corn as food. It Is
his chief article of diet
Mr.. Trumbun White staff correspon-
dent Of the Chicago Record writes his
paper that he saw eight car loads Of
Kansas corn sold at Oaxaca. Mex, at
s1s7 a bushel recently. 1t had been
shipped in BY way Of Galveston and
Vera Cruz If it costs the difference be-
tween eight cents a bushel and s1.s7. to
get corn to market it is not surprising
that the German who does not ear corn
breed. does not care to learn to do so.
The American people appear to be
good buyers but poor sellers. The Ger
mans are supplying the AIexicans with
the bulk of their imported goods and
would probably be selling them corn
if they had it to sell
The low price Of corn in Kansas does
not after all seem due to -produc-
ton or under consumption but to the
fact that it costs too much to get it to
those who would be consumers if they
could.

LAKE FRONT PLANS.
Chicago to Reclaim Land Worth $25-
100000 for a Drive.

Chicago, Oct. IA strip of land
worth $4,000, 600 to be reclaimed from
Lake Michigan. 81, 600 900 worth of this
land to be converted into a driveway
six miles long and the most beautiful
in the world. and the remainder to be
sold or leased for a perpetual endow-
ment for the drive way and park, is the
real plan Of the south park commission
in regard to the improvement Of Lake
Front.
The ugliest proposition which the
commission has had to face in planning
the drive way and park. was the pres
ence of the Illinois Central railroad
tracks. How to make a beautiful park
when one side of it was to be bOrdered
with freight cars and suburban trains,
seemed almost an unsOlvable problem.
The only way to make the park perfect
was to put some kind of a screen be
tween the drive and the railroad
tracks. That is what the commission
plans to do.
The screen is to be nothing less than
six miles of handsome residences that
will face the driveway and park and
viii have their back yards protected
from the railroad tracks by a high
stone wall. exactly as the residences
on the west side of the tracks are pro
tected now. The sale or lease of these
building lots, the commission is certain,
will be sufficient for a perpetual en-
dowment fund for the maintenance of
the drive. The latter item will be
about 500. 900 a wear.
