BRIDAL TRIP ON A TANDEM,

Michigan Couple on Wheeling Trip to
Niagara and Back.
Ed Hines, Michigan consul of the L.
A. W., Immediately after his marriage
at Worthwhile to Miss Carrie Steers
started with his bride on a tandem for
Niagara Falls, expecting to be gone
about two weeks. A year or two ago
MI. Hines was associated with the
father of Miss Steers in the publication
of newspaper at Worthwhile. While
there he made Miss Carries acquain-
lance. The young people, in addition
to other similarity Of taste, were both
devoted to bicycling, and have ridden
many hundreds miles on tandems.
When Hines removed to Detroit he
kept up the acquaintance, and several
times a week visited Worthwhile, rid
ing out on a wheel. Without giving
any hint to his friends he stole out
there few days ago and the pair were
married by Rev. ]. Fl. Herberer In the
Worthwhile Presbyterian church. I'm
mediately after the ceremony the bride
and groom attired themselves in wheel
ing costume and started on their we'd
ding trip. Since his connection with
the L. A. W. Hines has become we'll
acquainted with wheelmen ali over
Michigan. he is vice-president of the
National League of American Wheel
men. Mrs. Hines is talented and
popular at her former home.

AT least it can be said of the Racine
anti Cooperites that they are an &C.
commodating lot. One evening not
long since a representative of the Ke-
nosha News approached a genial
looking gentleman in the corridor Of
the Racine Hotel and questioned him
on the condition of Racine politics. He
Herewith went into detail and discuss
ed quite at large the question of Con-
gresham for the first district. He
proved to be opposed to Mr. Cooper, on
grounds which he defined as "person-
al" The bulk of his talk was to the
effect that the Journals opposition was
merely means to an end and that end
was not to elect Mr.. Petit, but to
defeat Mr.. Cooper. In other words,
according to this unsuspecting apostle
of the Journal the purpose of the Racine
boilers is only satisfaction even if to
get it they have to sacrifice entirely the
lake shore interests.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1898-07-28

The question as to who will be the
next Congressman from the First Dis
trict is already practically settled. The
opposition to Mr.. Cooper, the present
Congressman, which started out so
briskly has almost entirely died away
and it's results have been only helpful
to Mr.. Cooper's cause. Racine county
itself, where the opposition had it's sole
existence will undoubtedly give Mr..
Cooper the delegation. With this he
is absolutely sure OF the nomination.
He cannot be defeated. Throughout
the western district Mr.. Cooper has so
thoroughly ingratiated himself into the
sympathy of the people that such a
thing as his deposition is unthought Of.
In the language OF prominent gentle
man from WalwOrth county: We
can get no better representative than
the present Congressman. Mr.. Cooper
is the man." Mr.. Cooper's record of
valuable services is an argument
against which his enemies hurl their
false accusations all in vain. By his
deeds he is judged and judged by them
he is found worthy of the place he holds.

Pretty Dancing Party.

A very enjoyable dancing party was
given last night at the University
school hall in honor of the Misses
Maulsby, who are spending the sum-
mer with Miss Anna Kimball.
The hall was prettily decorated with
American flags and bunting. The
refreshments were served in the school
room on the first floor, which was very
prettily arranged for the occasion with
screens and rugs. About thirty couples
were in attendance, younger Kenosha
society being we'll represented. Jacoby's
orchestra furnished music.

THE fact that the Scofeld Republi-
cans are making no noise and that all
the hubbub is on the other side of the
fence is very good evidence that the
La Toilette forces are causing no
anxiety in their opponents camp.
Everything is quiet and serene. The
prospects for Gov. Scofeld's renomina-
ton are the brightest possible. His
support is too large and powerful, his
popularity too we'll established and the
esteem in which he is held by the entire
Badger state is too deep set to be
agitated by the superficial opposition
engendered against him by pretended
Teformers.

The In and Out of Hawaii.

"In Hawaii they have one very
unique custom in regard to debt" said
Mr.. O. w. Sturgis of Oregon. "Any
stranger can get credit almost from the
time he sets foot on the islands, but so
long as he owes a dollar he is not per-
mitted to leave the country. A man
who gets hopelessly involved in debt
down there had as well make up his
mind to become a citizen for the rest
of his life-he can only escape by liq-
uidating. This law has always been
strictly enforced, but in the event of
annexation to the United States the is
lands may get a new system of laws
that will repeal the existing statutes"

Father Peter Lippert is Temporarily AS
signed to St. James Church.


signed to st. James Church.
Archbishop KatZer has announced
that he has appointed Rev. Peter Lip
pert, of this city, who formerly gradu-
ated from St. Francis Seminary, as an
assistant to Father Roche, pastor of
St. James church. Father Lippert
will remain in charge of the church
until Father Roche has entirely recov-
cred from the injuries which he recently
sustained while in retreat in Milwau-
kee. The Archbishop has also
appointed Father Chris Hausrer, of
Somers, who was ordained at the same
time as Father Lippert, to st. Joseph's
church, Milwaukee, as an assistant to
Father Grome, who has been trans
ferred to Alverno.
The Catholics of Kenosha are deeply
interested in these two new priests
and will be glad to know that the
Archbishop has taken care of them.
Father Lppert will find a warm place
in the hearts of the st. James
congregation.

Kenosha should greet him with
crowded houses. The lectuees will
extend over a period of twelve weeks,
the subject being the tragedies of
Shakespeare. The following will be
the subjects:

KENosHA BOY TO Go TO SPAIN.
His Steamer, The Massachusetts,, has
Been ordered to Prepare for
Campaign Lasting Four
Months.-Other News.
q. S. S. Massachusetts,
Off Santiago de Cuba,
July 8th.
My dear Folks :

L
Guds Frid"
In my last letter wrote you what |
knew Of the engagement with the
Spanish squadron and how on the
night Of the 18th we sank the " Reina
Mercedes" in the entrance. Since
then no strict blockade has been kept,
but the ships still remain in the vicin-
ity.
Our ship has twice visited the wrecks
of the flag ship Maria Teresa and the
Oquendo. was aboard the Teresa
twice; both ships are secure on the
beach, full of water up to the water
line and every particle (almost) of wood
has been burned up. The Maria
Teresa is complete wreck. She Is fill
of small shot holes and there are quite
a few large holes from the shells of our
big guns. Il don't mean OUR guns.)
The Oquendo has large hole for
ward and one aft, which indicate ex-
plosions of magazines. Both ships are
hot and smoking in places still. On
the Teresa there are many indications
that show that every preparation was
made to burn the ships, but at the same
time the awful destruction of the shells
can be seen by following the course of
several of them. There was great
deal of woodwork in the ships, and Of
her decks there now remain only the
iron beams. The large turret guns
and some of the other guns are unin-
jured and can be used, but the Span
iards threw overheard the breech
blocks of most of the 55 guns. I am
told that the Colon is in very good con-
dition and can soon be repaired. She
did not burn.
We got quite few relics from the
Maria Teresa; crockery, spoons, etc.,
swords rifles and revolvers, and some
money. All were found on the berth
deck, which is about two feet under
water and everything had been through
the flames. Will send some things
home the first chance | get. The ar
mistice is extended to tomorrow noon,
when the fleet will lombard again.
Our ship and the Oregon have been
ordered to Guantanamo, where we will
fit out for long trip and then we will
go across to Spain. [ learned tonight
that we will take aboard stores for four
months. The department was going
to send the Iowa and Oregon, but our
ship is in better condition than the
Iowa. am rather glad we are going,
though we have long trip before us.
There was some talk of our going to
Manila, but so far / know only that
the ships are going for Spain.
Address care of Washington, as
usual. am we'll and happy, and hope
you are all the same. Perhaps old
Spain will sue for peace before we get
over there. Let us trust in God. He
has led us so far and given us every
promise Of success.
Love to all at home. Lovingly,
DAVE.
Saturday night, July 9, Dear Folks
We got to Guantanamo this afternoon
at about 2 p. m. The Oregon is here
also among several other ships that are
