THE BEER BILL AGAIN.
Congressman Cooper Will Push It Regard
less of Brewers Lobby.

Congressman Cooper is receiving
letters and kilograms endorsing his bill
to secure the manufacture of pure beer
only. The congressman is very much
in earnest in the matter and intends to
do his best to secure favorable report
upon the bill and it's passage through
the house. He has some assurance of
support from the senators should the
bill reach that body. There will be a
strong opposition to the measure from
certain brewers, and by means of lob
by of influential proportions such Oppo-
nents may be successful in preventing
the bills passing. Congressman Cooper
intends to go ahead, however, without
reference to any opposition. He sees
no reason why the people should not
have pure beer. If brewers say that
adulterated beer is just as healthy,
Congressman Cooper replies that he has
no objection to people drinking adul-
terated beer if they want it. He wants
to let people know what they are
drinking, and if the beer is to be adul-
terated he says it should be stamped.
1t is suggested that an amendment
might be attached to his bill COMPEL
ing manufactures and dealers in SELL
ing beer to sell full measure, as they
are compelled to do in Europe. This
proposition is pronounced to be as
reasonable as the law which provides
for the inspection of weights and meas
ures to see that they are honest.
He does not wish to be understood to
be the father of the bill. He intro
duced it by request, but will assist in
pushing it through.

SHALL THE EAGLE scREAMg
Do our Merchants and Business Men
want Fourth Of July Declarations

Do our Merchants and BUSINESS Men
want Fourth Of July Celebration?
The question is: Do we want the
eagle to scream?
The Fourth Of July is scheduled to
arrive here on the customary date this
year. and this question is receiving
consideration at the hands of some of
our merchants and business men.
Quite number of them want to see
the town celebrate. It has been about
five or six years since Kenosha has
kept open house0n the natal day of the
union, and thsse who are i'll close
touch with the best interests of the
city, think that a celebration this year
would do much toward assisting the
interests of the city and push it's name
to the fore.
Perhaps the main question is: Are
there enough of our business men who
could be interested in such scheme to
make it feasible? A self appointed
committee of business men took the
matter in hand today, and began an
agitation for such an event and pledged
themselves for sums of money, which
would indicate that it ought not to be
hard matter to get up grand event
this year.
IS There is SO much material here now
with which to make an event that it
would seem like a pity to allow the op-
portunity to escape and not use it. A
parade would cost very little, bicycle
events and games could be furnished
almost without end and the speech and
fireworks altogether ought not to be
beyond the amount of very small sub
scriptious on the part Of all the mer-
chants.
The ball is started torolling. Do we
want to celebrate? If so, let the rep
resentatives of this paper hear of it,,
and if sentiment enough in favor of it
develops a meeting will be called to
give the scheme the proper send off.
We think it a good thing. Help
push it along.

CHANGE IN WEATHER.
The Month of April is an Unusually Warm

The Month of April is an Unusually Warm
One.
The weather for the month of April,
now drawing to close, has been rather
pleasant one thus far, being more like
June than April. 1t is to be hoped
that the same will continne through
the month of May and that we will
have good long summer, something
we have not had for several years in
this section. If it were not for the
backward spring this would be one of
the finest climates in the country. but
winter usually fingers with us so long
that we practically have no spring,
there being only two seasons, namely
summer and winter. Perhaps things
have changed and we are to have four
full seasons this year, which would
really be a surprise to every one. Let
us hope that this may be the case, as it
would be most agreeable change from
the way Old Probabilities has been
doing business in this vicinity. May is
usually cold and wet, but this year the
present month was rather wet one,
but not cold, reversing things to such
an extent, that it is to be hoped that
May will be dry and warm, with occas-
ional rains for the growing crops.

YE LOCAL MAN GETS 1T.
The Majesty of the Law Seeks vindication
on G.. W. Johnston.

A special raid has been made by the
police the past week on all the wheel
men of the city who are caught riding
on the sidewalks of the town. The
devoted head of the local editor of this
paper was hit Monday evening and
with one fell swoop he found himself
in the arms of the most earnest de-
fender of the most comforting law any
Wheelman Of this town has ever
been able to find in sandy road. He
WIS placed under arrest, just the same
as though he had not been an editor.
And it was done while he was on his
way to supper. Officer O'Hare saw
him run onto the sidewalk at two
places, the first time to avoid tree in
his we'll beaten path and the second
time to get over ditch. All this oc-
Cured OF Durkee avenue, where the
sand is deeper than the water few rods
to the east, where the troublous police
man seldom molests the festive wheel
man, nor makes him afraid.
The officer commanded the scribe to
stop. When he got to his gate this
particular shouter for law and reform
did stop and gave his solemn word Of
honor that he would not do it again.
But this did not go. The officer was
obdurate. He must have the scalp.
The scribe yielded, and today he
stands under the disagreeable odor of
first arrest.

The Money Was Missing
[Racine Times.]

Yesterday it was reported that a
tramp was at Racine Junction showing
$1,000 in bills and displaying two
large revolvers. He was drunk and
brought to Jail. When searched he
had two bottles of whiskey and ninety
five cents in change. The roll of
money was missing. He was a farmer
from Kenosha county and was sent up
for five days.
