ROOsEvELT'S rough riders have dis
tinguished themselves. They faced
the worst kind of peril, a hidden foe,
and never finched The people who
laughed at the idea of eastern society
and college men being part OF the
Rough Riders" may now subside,
crawl in their holes and pull the holes
in after them. The Rough Riders,
cowboys and society men, one and all,
could not have acted better under their
first fire; they were cool and all they
asked for was to fight. They fought
under the same conditions that the
regular United States cavalry did at
the same time some distance east of
them and compared favorably with
them in fighting. Although surprised
by a force considerably superior to
their own, as far as numbers are con
cerned, they routed the enemy and
gained an important position. All hail
Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

Scare at the opera House,

The MINISTRIES were first class Tues
day night, as good as have been to
Kenosha in some time, but during the
first act came near breaking up by an
alarm Of fire being given to the audi
ence by the head usher, who was told
by fireman that the roof of the opera
house was on fire. Immediately a rush
was started, but the timely appearance
of Manager Joe with the information
that there was no fire quoted the
crowd and probably saved many acct
dents. 1t was found out later that a
lamp had exploded in the hotel adjoin-
ing and in trying to put it out the Oc-
cupant of the room had set fire to a
quilt and the quilt had been thrown
from the window. No. damage was

Fr<eodlter Tone In Russia.

St, Petersburg. June 29.-In view Of
the continued Improvement of the mill
tary position Of the United States the
newspapers here are changing thedF
tone to friendship for America and
now speak with contemptuous pity OF
Spain, the reason being. it is alleged.
the growing fear Of possible Anglo
American alliance. The Russian press,
however, does not think such an al
lance very probable. and predicts that
the victory of the United States over
Spain will head the former intD cnio-
NAL policy which win eventually re-
suit in conflict with Great Britain.

THE sEWERQUESTION
AID. GONNERMAN TAKES EXCEP-
TON TO Mr.. CULLEY.
EXPLAINS ABOUT THE BRICK
And Shows How the Work Has Been
ordered Done According to the
Contract-Brick Will BE Care
fully Inspected.

Mr.. EDITOR
1t is surprising to see how long 1t
takes a boil on some persons to mate
rialize and heal. Kenosha has in her
midst, to her misfortune, fellow who
has had one ever since the last election.
He has slandered the present Mayor
ever since he was defeated, also several
aldermen In his sheet of the 18th day
of June 1898, he has an item in which
he says there is evidence that all is not
square, also that there is a niger in
the fence in that job, meaning the
sewer. Now, that sewer is going to be
built, and is going to be built right or
not at all, and all the clustering Of this
man who has heretofore misrepresented
matters while he was supposed to be
mayor, is all On account Of his boil not
having materialized, and been healed.
There is now a sewer inspector en-
gagged who has orders to sort the
brick and condemn every one that is
not up to contract, and if SO out OF
every 100 are unfit for the sewer they
will be rejected. The aldermen 23
follows, have agreed to have this
sewer built according to contract, by
selecting such brick as are fit for such
a sewer, the same as was done on Ash
land avenue, York street, West street
and Grand avenue. TheinspectOr had
orders to reject all brick that was not
good, Aldermen Calkins, German, Tar
bell, Berrs, Brister and myself.
Has any of these aldermen said that
such brick that were not up to the
contract should be put in? If any OF
them have, mention his name. 1t has
always been said by every member,
that only such brick as are fit for sewer
shall go in. | don't believe there is an
alderman above mentioned who would
not do business for the city on the
square, and all your dirty insinuations
in your dirty sheet are not believed by
any of the public. 1t would be far
better fer yourself and paper il you
could take your defeat in gentleman
Iy mduu6T, duu Wllt6 dltlCL0o "ul0u
would be a credit to yourself. But it
seems to be your stock in trade to tam
talize people.
Mayor Petit and his aldermen are
going to do business on the square, and
when their term expires they will try
to leave their seats so that they can
say that they have worked for the in
terest of the people no matter what
your ISLANDERS have been.
Some of the aldermen took the trOu-
bic to see some brick masOns, and they
pronounced the brick that are fit for
the sewer better than our home brick.
Every alderman admits there are brick
among them that must be rejected and
as stated before the inspector has strict
orders to carefully select only such
brick as the contract would allow, so
don't try to SANDER people without q
reason Mr., unless you can prove what
you say.
Respectfully.
G.. FL. GONNERMAN,
Aid. 1st Ward.

The New Cup Defender.

BRISTOL, r. l., Aug. Is. Capt. Nat
Herreshoff still refuses to discuss the
matter of a cup defender to meet the
challenger from across the water in con
test for the Americas Cup, saying that
nothing has been settled yet. There is
little reason to doubt the truth of the as
sertion, that the matter has not been set
tied, as Capt. Nat makes frequent trips
between points where he holds interviews
and discussions with interested parties.
There are many here, however, who are
very close to tile shipbuilder who express
the belief that the preparations are well
advanced, and that the work will be be-
gun on the vessel very soon.
man we'll known in shipping circles
visited the Herreshotf works yesterday.
He claimed TO have seen the plans and
model of the boat to be built for the great
race. Those plans are for boat very
much after the style of the Defender in
1896. The lines of the new craft are finer
than those of the Defender, and show a
hull cut away little more in the fore
foot. She is to be keel boat, with lit
tie broader beam than the Defender.

Credit to President Mckinney

WASHINGTON, Aug. u No other coun-
try ever did, and it is rot likely that any
other country ever will in the short space
of three months and lalf fight such
remarkable war as the U. s. has lust
fought to 4 successful close. 1t was one
line OF successes, without even single
set back from Dewey's victory in Manil
Bay TO the acceptance of the terms of
peace by the French Ambassador, author
lied to act for Spain. Without detract-
ing in the slightest degree from the hon
ors grateful country is paying the heroes
who participated in the fighting, it is well
to call attention to the fact that there is
man in Washington, to whose iron will
and SleepleSS energy more credit is due
for the glorious results and ending of the
war than to any other single individual.
That man is William Mckinley, who has
shown himself worthy to be the Chief
Executive of the greatest and strongest
nation that the world has ever seen, by
gaining the admiration, love and conf
dence of our own people, and the respect
of the entire civilized world. He has
raised the United States to a higher posi-
ton than it has ever occupied in the eyes
of the world, and yet he is to- day as unos-
tentatlous as he was when serving in the
House and has no pride other than that
which every man has who concientiously
performs his duty. Every American can
point with pride to President Mckinley
and say to less favored nations: This is
the sort of man that a free country pro-
duces at need. Especial correspondence
