pleted his address, B. B. Northrup, in
short address, presented the resolu-
tions. He said he wanted to put the
people OF Racine on record as endorsing
the official conduct of Mr.. Cooper and
his work in behalf of his constituents.
In short seconding speech Wallace
ingalls, said that Mr.. Cooper, now be-
ing member of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, would be in bet
ter position to help Racine than any
new man who could be sent from the
district. A P. Dutton, who had been
a candidate for postmaster in Racine in
Opposition to Jackson /. Case, who re-
ceived the Office through the aid of
Congressman Cooper, moved that the
delegates from Racine be instructed to
vote solidly for Mr.. Cooper at the COM
ing Congressional cow ention, but his
motion did not go before the meeting.
No mention was made in Congress-
man Cooper's speech of the Racine
postoffice fight, which ended in the
appointment of J. I. Case, and which
has brought on Mr.. Cooper's head
much of the opposition with which he
is confronted, although several times
during his speech voices from the
audience asked for an explanation.

A LITTLE more than year ago an
attempt was made in congress to pass
a bill providing for the disposal to pri-
vate parties, at five dollars per acre, of
certain gilsonite lands belonging to the
government, which lands according to
statement made by Representative
Dingley, of Maine, are worth upward
of $25, 100000. The following, from
the Superior Leader, relates to the
debate on the bill, on April Is, 1897:
"One of the neatest and best things
of the session was accomplished by
Congressman Cooper, of Racine. in
attacking the item in the Indian bill,
throwing open to the public an i'm
mense bed of gilsonite-a hard form of
gilsonite, which had already been COB
bled up by the agents of syndicate
of St. Louis people, headed by Brewer
Busch, of the Anheuser- Busch Brew
ing company.
The item has several times gone
through, though not without challenge,
but this time Cooper attacked it in
such direct and effective manner
that no one could vote for it without
confessing faint.
Mr.. Cooper is one of the most
patriotic and RICH hearted men in the
entire congress, and also one of the
most independent.

GREAT SUCCESS.
A LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED BY
SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION.
FOR THE WISCONSIN SOLDIERS
Every Feature of the Performance Gave
Great satisfaction and Was Loudly
App1auded by the Audience-Will
Be Repeated Tonight.

The great spectacular production OF
" America" drew a large crowd to
Rhode opera house Monday evening
and every one was more than satisfied
with the entertainment.
Every feature of the production was
rendered in an excellent manner, and
in all it was the most enjoyable home
talent entertainment ever given in this
city.
Gorgeous costumes mingled with
graceful movement made a pleasing
picture for the eye, while between the
drill and dances were interspersed
beautiful songs by the Misses Murray
and orchestra music by a picked or
chestra, composed of many of the best
players of the city.
The entertainment was under the
direction of Prof. McDaniels, and he
surely deserves great credit for the
excellent work he has done in so short
a time.
The program opened with a medley
of patriotic airs by the orchestra, after
which the curtain was rung up upon a
fairy sceAe discovering twelve little
girls bedecked in purple and fine linen,
dancing round a May pole. The pretty
little ribbon drill closed with Miss Rose
Ward being crowned queen of the
fairies in the presence of forty little
angels and fairies all dressed in white
and gold. The fairy drill was exceed
ingly pretty and was greeted with
great applause.
Following the fairy drill was very
cute lawn tennis drill, executed by
sixteen little girls clad in natty sailor
suits and carrying tennis racquets,
which we're covered with bells, so that
every movement of the young ladies
brought forth a sound of tinkling music.
The nursery drill was one of the
prettiest effects of the evening. Eight
wee tots, dressed as nurses and bearing
little dolls, sang the babies to sleep
with lullaby which brought down the
house. Of course some of the little
ones became mixed, but as a we'll
known actor remarked, they were all
born commedienes and the audience
only applauded them the more on &C
count of their cute mistakes.
At this point the first Of a series of
tableaux was introduced entitled,

IT is dull day that does not bring
some peace rumors from Madrid, and
what have lately come seem to be
pretty near the official circle. These,
however, show what high ideas the
dons have of their own Importance.
They pay a poor compliment to our
Judgment when they talk of giving up
Cuba if we will call off our dogs OF
war. Evidently they have the idea
that they are entitled to retain Porto
Rico and the Philippines and be alb
solved from paying any indemnity.
How long it will take for them to fully
awaken to the fact that they are not
to have a colonial possession in this
part of the world after this war is
ended, remains to be seen. But they
have yet to feel the influence of an
American feet off their own coast.
This is what the Spaniard needs more
than anything else. A blow fright
where he lives" is the only thing that
can awaken him to the precariousness
of his position. When that is struck,
and probably not until then, he will
wake up and sue for peace on some
thing like reasonable terms.

To Crafty a Contemporary.

The Racine Journal is eager to have
The Sentinel tells its readers that Con-
gresham Cooper, of Wisconsin, was
one of the Republican members who
opposed the presidents policy and
favored the recognition of the Cuban
republic when the question was before
the house. The Journal says:
q The Sentinel is, as rule, broad and
liberal minded. While it is not giving
Congressman Cooper support, it is at
least keeping from it's large number OF
readers the whole truth concerning the
attitude of the First district congress
man. If Indiana considered it a dis
grace to the state to keep in the lower
house Congressman Henry q. Johnson,
one of the most able and brilliant men
in congress, because of his attitude
toward Mckinley, is it any less of a
disgrace to Wisconsin to retain Con-
gresham Cooper, Johnson's lingo
partner?"
The Sentinel printed the facts in
connection with Mr.. Cooper's action at
the time it was taken. We haYe no
reason to believe that Indiana consid-
cred it a disgrace to keep in the lower
house zone of the most able and
brilliant men in con gress." We do
not think it will disgrace Wisconsin to
retain Congressman Cooper, and we do
not believe The Racine Journal would
think so if Mr.. Cooper had concluded
to recommend the appointment of its
editor to be postmaster of Racine, in
stead of an equally competent gentle
man from flock of candidates for that
Office.
Doubtless Mr.. Cooper will admit that
Mr.. McKinley's position with respect
to Cuban affairs was more wisely
chosen than his own, and, if equally
honest, The Racine Journal should
acknowledge that the opposition to
Mr.. Cooper's denomination is not due
to his vote on the Cuban resolutions

ONLY A SCRATCH.
Kenosha "Cholly' Took a Tumble
Saturday Afternoon.


Saturday Afternoon.
Two Kenosha young men who paid
a visit to this city Saturday had a
mishap while on their way home in the
afternoon. They came up on their
wheels and had spent the day here
very pleasantly. A newspaper man
met them on the bicycle path and was
Just in time to see one of them take a
bad spill. One Of the aXles on his
wheel broke and he went down like a
thousand of brick. He had kodak
strapped to his wheel and seemed to
be taking a glimpse through the view
finder when he went so unceremonious-
ly to the ground. 1t has since been
learned that one of the young men is a
Kenosha photographer, while the other
is employed al the Sterling works.
One of the young men is at the head
of the class for the neat manner in
which he is dressed. When he was let
down so suddenly his toilet was dsar-
ranged and he seemed to be all broke
up. His companion helped him up,
and when he found his legs were as
good as ever, he began to make an ex-
animation of his wounds, which he
thought must be considerable. Only
one little scratch on his arm was found.
Luckily his face was uninjured, because
the yonng man thinks he is few"
in society circles there.-Racine News.

THE following resolutions were
adopted st the mass meeting of the
citizens of Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties held at Racine Monday evening,
and are expressive of the overwbelm-
ing sentiment of the two countless:
" In view of the Importance to Racine
and Kenosha counties of having a rep
resentative from the lake shore in our
national congress who is familiar with
the work of that body, and in view of
the advantage of having a representa-
tive of our interests on the Rivers and
Harbors committee of the next con-
gress, and from the fact that our pres
ent representative occupies promi-
nent position on this committee, being
the second in number upon the same,
aud in view of his faithful and uncom-
promising stand on matters of the
highest Importance to our national well
fare; therefore,
" Be it resolved, by this mass meet
ing of the citizens of Racine and Keno
sha counties, That we heartily endorse
the conduct in congress of the Hon.
Henry Allen Cooper on behalf Of his
constituents, and as representative Of
the state of Wisconsin,; and
Resolved, That we consider that
his reelection is imperatively demanded
by the highest and best interests of the
First Congressional district of Wis
consin."

BIG ROW IN BRIGHTON.
Repair of Church Property Causes Per
sonal Encounter.

The good people of Brighton are all
worked up over row that originated
in the Catholic church circles of the
village last Sunday afternoon and as a
result Jacob Daniels has been arrested
for assaulting Dennis Murphy. Both
men are members of the church and
very active il it's behalf.
For some time the society have been
considering the question of making
some improvements on the parsonage
and on Sunday afternoon meeting was
held at the school hall to make final
decision on the matter. Two strong
factions at once were discovered and
Dennis Murphy was the leader of the
company who were opposedito the pro-
posed repairs, and in the course of the
meeting Murphy got excited and limited
in words both loud and deepsthat sew
eral members of the church were liars
with several adjectives attached. The
pastor appointed committee to show
Murphy the door and he was duly
elected. Of this committee Daniels
was one of the members and on Mon
day afternoon he met Murphy in the
saloon in the village and trouble at
once ensued. Murphy was pretty bad
ly handled and was brought to this
city to be treated by DR.. Cleary. Dan
iels was arrested last night and was to
have had hearing today, but the
matter was settled out of court. The
fight and the prominence of the parties
has attracted great excitement in the
little country town.

geous in arrangement the tableau was
exceedingly beautiful and correct in its
historical significance. The only thing
to mar the scene was the arms of Cas-
tile and Arogan, which seemed won
derfully out of place.
A Chinese drill by a number of bows
and Japanese drill with umbrellas
followed and were loudly spplauded.
Miss Grace Murray, Kenosha girl.
who has made great hit in the east
during the present season, made her
first appearance in Kenosha and scored
a complete success.
This was followed by a tableau, rep
resenting " The Return of Columbus TO
Spain, nearly hundred people taking
part in it.
The scarf drill by seven young ladies
dressed IN all the colOrs of the rainbow,
was one of the prettiest drills of the
evening and was SO we'll received that
the young ladies were forced to respond
to an encore.
The Hollander Peasants made the
decided hit of the evening, dancing in
their wooden shoes. A whirlwind of
applause greeted them and they re.
sponded with second number. This
was one of the most unique features of
the program and in itself was we'll
worth the price of admission.
The Indian fight with cowboys was a
real riotOus fun maker and was espec-
tally pleasing to the spectators. The
firing of revolvers and the war paint Of
the would be indians made the scene
very realistic.
The old comrades assisted the ladies
by repeating the old scene in camp
which has been given once before.
The camp scene was real and was &C.
companied by chorus humming softly
the beautiful strains of Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground" The old
soldiers made telling effect ard few
old comrades among the audience were
seen to drop tear of remembrance as
the old days of camp and army life
were brought back again.
The Japanese lantern drill followed.
sixteen young ladies taking part. They
carried stats, on which were placed
lanterns of all colors, and on the dimlv
lighted stage their movements pro-
duced very brilliant effect.
The court minuet and a phantom
drill followed, both being very we'll
executed.
Miss Blanche Murray then sang
" Will You Love Me when I'm Old.0
and she was so we'll received that she
responded to an encore.
The uableau, " America" was ex-
ceedingly we'll arranged with Columbia
as the central figure, surrounded by
the entire company of performers.
The evening closed with a tableau,
entitled "Cuba," representing the
Cuban republic defended by the armies
of American soldiers.

A FooLBARDY TRICK.
Young Men Let Down and Break an Arc
Light on Prairie Avenue.

Light on Prairie Avenue.
One of the most dangerous and fool
hardy tricks ever known in Kenosha
occurred on Prairie avenue early this
morning. Several young men of loud
and boisterous conduct we're walking
along the street and when they reached
the corner of Congress street and
Prairie avenue, one of them decided
that it would be very smart trick to
let down the arc lamp used for street
lighting purpoes. Of course he easily
secured the consent and assistance Of
his reckless companions and climbing
the pole he seized the rope and let the
lamp drop to the street, breaking the
globe and badly battering the lamp
itself. The live wires were lying openly
exposed on the street and the foolhardy
boys went on up the street, not seeming
to realize that their foolish trick might
result fatally to some passing pedes-
trian. Some time during the night
some more sensible person came along
and cut the wires and removed the
danger.
The police have the case in hand
and if the fellows can be caught the
full strength of the law will be applied
in the case.

IF Racine and Kenosha counties

If Racine and Kenosha counties are
awake to their own interests and alive
to the interests of the country at large
they will each send Cooper delega-
ton to the Congressional convention.
As stated by an anti Cooperite the
lake shore is entitled to name the can
didate to Congress. The greatest
interests of the district are naturally
conferred in Racine and KenOsha coun-
ties. Ia order to have these interests
properly attended to it is imperative
that a. A. Cooper be returned to Con-
gress. This is,so not only because FL.
A. Cooper is peculiarly adapted to
take care of these interests, both by
nature of his ability and the possession
of influence which he has attained by
his excellent work in former times,
but because if Mr.. Cooper were
defeated the lake shore would loose
the candidate and it's interests would
thereby very materially suffer. Should
the counties of Racine and Kenosha,
by allowing selfish opposition to
influence them, permit Mr.. Cooper to go
before the convention without unani-
nous backing the result would be the
nomination of a candidate from the
western part of the district. Today
the whole western part of the district
is solid for 81. A. Cooper. Highly
satisfied with his work in the past they
are convinced that no better man can
be found in the district to take his
place. It is not to Racine and Kenosha
counties, however, that the remainder
of the district shows Difference, but to
Mr.. Cooper himself, and if he is not to
succeed himself it is not their intention
that a Kenosha county man shall
succeed him, but rather man from
that section. Therefore it most GER
tainly becomes the lake shore voters TO
assure Mr.. Cooper's return to Congress-

asking what Congressman Cooper had
ever done for thissdistrict or any other
district during his term of service. 1t
got them so thick and fast that it let
up the call altogether. Now under the

is much like the Spaniard. It begins
