gresham H. A. Cooper of Racine
was renominated by reclamation at
the first district convention here
Wednesday. The runored opposi-
ton did not materialize and the con-
vention proceedings were marked by

commissioner, as chairman Of the
congressional committee, called the
convention to order. J. A. Jackson
of KenCsha was elected permanent

Beloit secretary After the appoint
ment of committees on credentials and
resolutions the convention adjourned
until l O'Clock. Upon reassembling

were received and accepted. Then A.
c.. Dodge of Monroe in a short but
clever speech moved that Cooper be
renominated by acclamation. A Ra-
cine delegate seconded the motion.
The motion thereupon prevailed
unanimously. A committee, headed
by Mr.. Dodge, was then appointed
to find Mr.. Cooper and bring him
before the convention. This was
| quickly done. Mr.. Cooper made a.
/ graceful speech of acceptance which
was heartily received. The business Of
the convention concluded with the
election Of a district committee, Of
which Mr. Chadwick was again
chosen chairman.
This is the fourth consecutive con-
gressional nomination for Mr.. Cooper,

Kull of Lake Geneva, democrat, by
nearly 10000 votes and two years ago
he beat J. L. Mahoney of GAINESVILLE,
democrat, by about $4,000 votes. The
district is composed of the counties
of Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, Rock,
Green and Lafayette.

HER UNHAPPY LIFE.
Mrs. Orr Writes of Her Husbands
Cruel Treatment Of Her.

Waupun, Wis, Aug. 13.-W. A.
Barker, father Of Mrs. John T. Orr of
Clarendon, Ark, implicated in the
muder Of her husband, and who COM
mitted suicide in jail, stated yesterday
that he will not go to Clarendon to
take charge of the remains Of his
daughter, but has wired to have the
body Inferred there. Mrs. Barker
will leave on Monday next for Claren-
don to take the child in charge and to
settle the estate Of the Orrs. Mrs.
Barker said that Orr had been mar
ried twice. He lived with his first
wife two years, and it is alleged,
treated her SO cruelty that she was
granted divorce. Orr, she said, was
a man of a hard heart and bad char
acter, and his reputation was an alto
gether undesirable one. Mr.. and Mrs.
Orr had been writing to Mrs. Orr
shortly before this affair occurred,
but it seems they were unable to get
an answer to their letters. Mrs.
Orr advised them to send their letters
to her in the name Of her servant.
The following letter was received by
the Bankers:

Mother: l have just come to the con-
clusion that you and papa have de-
serted me. l have written letters and
given them to hint Mr.. Orr to mail.

I have come to understand. You ask
me to come home. l have begged

might as well plead to a stove. I
shall try to come home in the fall. I
must get away from this place, and
that at once, or I shall never be able
to come I weigh "a pounds, and you
can imagine what I am going through

scrape and dig for. Send my mail to
Lorilla NJ. Weaver, then 1 will get it
all right. She is my servant and I
always get her mail. Not even to
you, my dearest ones, could I tell the
misery and suffering I endure and
have gone through for the last four
years. ! feel much better with such
a comforter and 1 am happy in that
1 have not been deserted by those
who are nearest and dearest to me.
