FAvoRs THE CANAL.
Congressman Cooper Will Urge the en-
struction of Ditch Across Isthmus

struction of Ditch Across Isthmus.
the Evening Wisconsin has the fol
lowing from Congressman Cooper. In
an interview the Congressman said:
eff we have chance to vote on the
Nicaraguan canal question: said Rep
resentative Cooper, of Wisconsin, a
member of the Rivers and Harbors
committee, s'the House will adopt a
measure authorizing the construction
of a waterway across the 1sthmus.
While a great deal of opposition to this
project has been removed and there is
a general demand for canal, it is en-
tire1y too early to say whether the
question will be reached at this ses-
sion. l have not been here long
enough to learn the ser iment OF Con-
gress in regard to proc eoin 6 before a
report is made by the St milan canal
commission, but am in favor of dig
ging the canal, and will vote for it
when an opportunity presents itself.
"There has been some delay in con-
structing the 'warships authorized by
the last Congress, owing to the in
creased, price of armorp1ate. l would
like to see these ships built at once,
and if the armor question can be set
tied and more ships constructed at the
same time as those authorized last year
1 am in favor Of an appropriation for
that purpose. We should have navy
large enough to protect fully the in
terests of the'nation."
Representative Cooper arrived in
Washington Thursday night. About
noon he visited the rooms occupied by
Gen. Henderson who is to be the next
Speaker Before going to the Norman
die hotel, where Gen. Henderson re-
sides, Mr.. Cooper called on representa-
tive Minor. 1His ideaEwas to talk about
committee assignments. Before Mr..
Cooper saw Mr.. Minor sor Henderson,
the Wisconsin correspondent had a
lengthy interview with1him, but little
new information,was forthcoming, for
the reason that Mr.. cooper did not
think it advisable to discuss committee
assignments so far as these matters
concerned himself or.his associates on
on the Wisconsin delegation. He did
not appear confident that he would be
selected for chairman of the committee
on rivers and harbors, as has been re-
garded as practically certain by other
congressman now in, Washington.

.SEERY CASE AGAIN,
Supplementary Proceedings Begun
Before Court Commissioner
M cDOWe!.
COOK REFUSES TO 1BsTIFY

And the Court Commissioner Issues an
Order for an Attachment of His Person
on Charge of Contempt.-Sher if Re-
fuses to Serve the Writ and the Whole
Case is Mixed up in Legal Nuddle.--
Threatened Arrest of the Sheriff.
The case of Lillian Seery, of Somers,
VS.. Lafayette Cook, which was tried
at the last term of the Circuit court,
and at which time the Plaintiff re-
ceived verdict granting her judg-
ment of $500 against the defendant,
again occupies the front place in the
courts of the county, aud this morning
supplementary proceedings were com
menced before Court Commissioners
Mcdowell, having for their purpose
the collection of the judgment granted
Miss Seery by the Court.
The real cause of the proceedings
was an inquiry in regard to certain
property which the defendant had re-
fused to turn over to satisfy the judg
ment.
Mr.. Cook appeared by his attorney,
James Cavanagh, but he was also
present in person. Mr.. Cavanagh OBJ
iected to the hearing on technical
grounds, holding that the order which
had been issued was not sufficiently
specific in the description of the prop
erty in question, and that before the
hearing could go on the attorney asked
that specific description of the par
ticu1ar property be made by the attor-
ney for the Plaintiff.
The Court Commissioner ruled that
the property had been sufficiently des-
ignated, and at this time the attorney
for the defendant instructed his client
to refuse to be sworn, or to answer any
question under the order for the hear
ing. Mr.. Cook at once left the Court
room, and Court Commissioner Nc
Dowe11 at once issued an order of at
tachment to the Sheriff demanding
that Cook at once be brought before
him to answer to charge of contempt
of Court. The Sheriff later, on the
advice of his attorneys, whom, the
Commissioner states, are interested in
the Defendants case, refused to serve
the writ, and demanded that an indem-
nifty bond be put up to protect him from
any action for false imprisonment.
This the Court Commissioner refused
to do, and furthered to proceed against
the bondsmen of the Sheriff if the writ
was not served as demanded by the
Court. He held that the Court Com
missioner had the same power as a
Circuit Judge sitting in chambers,
and he states that he will demand that
the order be obeyed.
In connection with the case the an
nouncement is made that it is very
probable that Miss Seery will never be
able to recover anything on the judg-
ment which she holds against the de-
fendant 1t is stated that Mr.. Cook
has made the statement that he will
never pay a cent of the Judgment, but
will lay the time out in jail. The at
torney for the defense states that the
matter will be pushed and that if the
Judgment is not paid at once he will
bring action to have the defendant
committed to Jail. The parties are
making an attempt to make some set
t1ement of the affair this afternoon,
but there is little chance of the settle
ment being reached without long
legal fight.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
twenty-five Years" Constant Use With
out a Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain S Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of single
instance in which it has not proved eff
fectua1. No other preparation can
show such record twenty-five years
