IF we can take the word of such
papers as the Milwaukee Journal and
the Fond du Lac News, and surely we
can, there are dire things in store for
the Republican party in Wisconsin this
year. There are but two alternatives
to the party and either one is certain
humiliation. Says the Fond du Lac
News: {" If ScOfeld is named again
there is every probability that the
Republican party in Wisconsin will
have two candidates for Governor"
This is a new phase of the situation. 1t
had not been brought out before even
by the versatile Milwaukee Journal,
which says that there are three sources
from which the Democratic party can
recruit it's ranks. One of these
sources the Journal states is the La
Toilette Republicans, independents
and in this campaign bolters." Now
here is the whole and terrible truth.
The only mitigating circumstance con-
nected with this sad predicament so
far as the Scofeld faction" is con-
cerned is the fact that all these seers
and phOphets acknowledge that Gov.
ScOfeld will receive the nomination.
Of course, even in this there is little
sOlace since it is only clearing che
shadows to founder on the rocks.
But it gives little temporary relief,
and that, under these very trying cir
cumstances, is most acceptable. The
La Toilette g faction" lucky devils,
need no commiseration, for if they lose
they have at least the prospect of a
auckland awful revenge. When we
consider the past the force of these
alarms appeals to us even more strong
~. In 1916 the republican party was
reduced to nearly the same straits.
There was a so-called factional fight of
nearly the same proportions as that
which now portends calamity. Mr..
Scofeld was nominated and the man
ner in which the boiling La Toilette
faction rushed to the democratic stand
ard proves clearly their tendency in
that direction, and makes the heart of
every loyal republican stand still with
apprehension.

THE STATE FAIR.
New Managemenr will Make it a Great
Success.

Never in the history of the State of
Wisconsin has the elaborate prepare
tions been made for the entertainment
of the public in general as has been by
the Board of managers of the State
Board of Agriculture for the State
Fair at Milwaukee the Third week in
September.
The grounds are being given a thor
ough overhauling and many very i'm
portant improvements being made that
will not only make it more comfortable
for the public but for the exhibitors.
The board has already arranged for
many special attractions, covering all
kinds of features that will tend to
please the public so that the visitors
from over the state will be more than
repaid for their visit to Milwaukee this
year.
The premium list for 1898 is one of
the most liberal, complete and thor
ough ever offered in the Northwest.
From the numerous inquiries already
received by the Superintendents of the
various departments the exhibits will
be exceedingly large.
The railroads have granted the
usual half-fare rate from all parts of
the state from September 18th to 10Th
inclusive and will grant exhibitors the
usual rebate on all articles shipped to
the Fair grounds for exhibit purposes.
President John M. True, of Baraboo,
is greatly encouraged at the outlook
for the Fair this year and believes that
the first under the new board will be
credit to the entire State.

Archbishop Temples Early Days.

DR.. Temple, archbishop Of Canter-
Bury, told some working men a short
time back that he was himself the son
of working mana soldier, who af-
forwards became governor of a colony.
His father died when he was only
thirteen, and from the age of seven
teen young Temple had to earn his Own
living. The archbishop knew in his
youth what it was to do without a
fire in cold weather, because he could
not afford one, and had to wear patch
ed clothes and boots. He learned to
plough as straight a furrow as any
man, and could thrash equally we'll.

All About Eyebrows.

An arched eyebrow does not indi-
cate the highest order Of intelligence,
but is expressive of great sensibility.
Scant growth of the eyebrows denotes
lack of vitality; on the contrary, heavy
thick eyebrows Indicate strong con-
stitution and great physical endurance.
They are not beautiful on a WOman's
face, however much they may signify
either mental or bodily vigOr, and
when they are not only heavy, but
droOp and meet at the nose, they are
disagreeable, and are said to accom-
pany an insincere and prying nature,
Long, dropping eyebrows, lying wide
apart indicate an amiable disposition.
Where the eyebrows are lighter in
color than the hair the Indications are
lack of Vitality and great Sc, sitiveness
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose, are signs of indolence
and weakness. Very black eyebrows
give the face an intense and searching
expression; when natural they accom-
pany passionate temperament. Very
light eyebrows rarely are seen on
strong intellectual faces, although the
color of the eyebrows is not accepted
simply as denoting lack OF intelligence;
the form gives the key to the facul-
ties and their direction. Red eyebrows
denote great fervor and ambition;
brown a medium between the red and
the black

INDIANS IN WAR PAINT.
Held Big Dance Before Going to
Fight Against Spain.

Held Big Dance Before Going to
Fight Against Spain.
B" Away out on the hills, beyond the
Catholic cemetery, in the spot where
the aborigines held their fetes before
the advent OF their white cousins, the
Piutes are now gathered, engaged in
heap big dance" Piutes always have
a reason for these festivities, and the
reason for this is a singular one. In
some way the Piutes learned that this
nation, which is presided over by the
great father at Washington, is involv-
ed in hostilities with another tribe
called Spain. The Pluto ideas of the
present situation are very vague, but
they scent a national calamity in the
wind and are excited thereby. They
say they want to get guns and fight
Spain, and as they have always been
in the habit of having heap big
dance before going to war, so they
are holding their present demOnstra-
ton partly to terrify Spain and partly
to show their white cousins the inter
est they hold in the common veal.
They have no doubt that Spain will
learn of their warlike attitude and be
duly impressed, and they expect the
white men, who are their neighbOrs,
to be appreciative of their loyalty.
Their white neighbors don't show any
appreciation, however. Again the
noble red man is suffe ing by being
misunderstood The fandango COM
menced night before last, and there
was a great crowd of Piutes present.
The beauty and chivalry of the tribe
were there in war paint, and so was the
white gamin and hoodlum. Sagebrush
fences had been constructed in the
form Of ring and outside of this ring
were erected lodges, and in the center
the dancing took place. Festivities
commenced shortly after shutdown, and
after the light Of day had faded the
light Of huge sagebrush fire beamed
over all. The bucks stood in a ring,
shoulder to shoulder, pressing the
palms of each others hands close to
their thighs and shutting about in
circle the measures of melancholy
chant. Finally noted vocalist Of the
tribe essayed a solo, but the white ele-
ment became 50 annoying to the high
strung, sensitive Piute nature that
Captain Sam Jack made speech, heap
ing Goals of fire on the heads of their
tormentors by citing the fact that P1-
ute never go to opera-house and heap
make fun white mans dance" More
over, Sam Jack averred that the cat
calls and other undignifed noise so
annoyed the singer that he forgot his
song and broke down, which wasn't
right. Last night the white rufdan1sm
continued to such an extent that the
Piutes went into their lodges and took
a beauty sleep until after their white
visitors had left. Their hilarity knew
no bounds. They had many dances
and sang many songs, the favorite be-
ing the familiar min ne ma ma ma, min
ne me na," but the feature Of last
nights entertainment, like the Klon-
dixie wedding at the golden jubilee, was
the marriage of Happy Dave to the
hand-painted idol of his young heart
The fandango will continue for Has
eral evenings.

Not Found in the Bible.

Probably ninety-nine persons out of
one hundred believe that the familiar
expression, "ESau sold his birthright
for a mess of pottage," Is scriptural,
but they will look for it In vain in the
authorized version. According to Notes
and Queries it occurs in the chapter
heading of the Geneva version Of
Genesis, XIV, and it is owing no doubt
to the popularity of that version that
the phrase has obtained SO wide cur
rency.

AT the district convention at Elk
horn Hal Cooper was nominated by
reclamation because he has made an
excellent congressman, and because
the people of the district recognize
that fact. He will be elected for the
same reasons, and because the people
of Racine and Kenosha counties par
ticularly realize that their interests de-
pend upon his election.

IT is not at all likely that the Ameri-
can people will turn the settlement of
the war questions over to a set of men
who used their votes in Congress to
embarrass the government when a
crisis was pending. The reasons for a
Republican majority in the next House
of Representatives, are numerous, but
this is the most conspicuous.

HOW COOPER WON.
HARMONIOUS CONVENTION NAME
HIM BY ACCLAMATION.
SHORT SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
Mr. Cooper Expressed the Opinion that
the Philippines would be Retained by
this Government when the Time
Came for Action.

Elkhorn, Wis, Aug. 10.-As an eX-
ample of harmony there could be
nothing more brilliant than the First
district congressional convention which
today renomnated Congressman II. A
Cooper. His was the only name pre-
sented to the convention and the
nomination was made by reclamation.
Early in the morning the friends of
c.. F. Osborne, of Darlington, announc-
ed that as their candidate did not have
any votes and that as he was induced
to make the announcement of his can
didacy under a misrepresentation of
Mr.. CoOper's strength in Racine county
his name would not be presented to
the convention. Then there was a
love feast. Everyone was hustling
around the town to oblige everyone
else. There was discussion as to the
division of the honors of the convention
and they were passed around in a way
to satisfy everybody.
The convention was called to order
at noon by W. W. Chadwick, chairman
of the Congressional committee. j. A.
Jackson, of Kenosha, was elected
chairman and, in accepting made no
speech except to thank the delegates
for the honor. Committees on creden-
tials and resolutions were appointed
and the convention adjourned for one
hour. It reassembled at l o'clock.
The committee on resolutions presented
the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, By the Republican party of
the First Congressional district of the
state of Wisconsin, in convention as
sembled, that the administration OF
President Mckinley, by the wisdom
shown in conducting the affairs of the
nation, by the care, solicitude and
ability displayed in carrying on the
war for the liberation of Cuba from
Spanish despotism, commends itself to
all patriotic American citizens.
Resolved, That the administration of
our President has in all respects been
such as to merit the confidence of the
American people, regardless of party.
Resolved, That we appreciate to the
fullest extent the ability, industry and
craftsmanship of the Hon. FL. A. Cooper
for his able and effective3swork in the
interest of the people of this district as
we'll as the nation at large.
The report was hardly adopted be-
fore A. G. Dodge, of Monroe, presented
Mr.. CoOpor's name.
The nomination was seconded by B.
B. Northrup, of Racine, and G. D.
Sumner, of Walworth, and it was made
| by reclamation.
N. M. Littlejohn, G. D. Simmer and
A. G. Dodge were appointed COM
mittee to wait on Mr.. Cooper and in
form him of the action of the conven-
ton, and when he came into the hall
Congressman Cooper was greeted with
cheers. He made brief speech, in
which he thanked the delegates for the
honor they had conferred on him. He
did net refer to any Of the issues of the
campaign, except to say that he be-
lieved when it comes to a settlement of
the Philippine question, President Nc
Kinley will be firm enough to hold
those islands and to keep them forever
free from Spanish TYRANNY.

IN the campaign of 1896, the cry of
the Democratic orator was that no
material increase could come to our
currency without the free coinage of
silver. The money in circulation is
$25O,OOO,OOO greater than when the
Chicago platform was written in 1896,
and we have not accomplished this by
the free coinage of silver.
