A GRAND SUCCESS.
Marquette Club Entertained Their Friends
at a Dancing Party Thursday Night.

One of the SWEETEST social functions
of the season in Kenosha was the
dancing party given Thursday evening
at Simmons Hall by the Marquette
Club. Since it's organization the Club
has been quite a factor in social cir
c1es, but the dance Thursday evening
ec1ipsed all former efforts and was
easily the SWEETEST dance given by any
of the Clubs this year.
Simmons Hall never looked prettier.
The walls had been almost covered
with large American flags, while from
the chandeliers had been hung nuner-
Gus little representations of the ma
tiona1 co1ors. The gallery was fes-
TONED with evergreen and here and
there was arranged a coy place for
the tired dancers to rest during the
evening. The stage at the west end OF
the room, on which the orchestra was
seated, was a perfect bank of palms
and flowers.
The crowd came early in the even
ing and before 9 O'Clock the hall was
packed to it's capacity. But it was a
Jolly crowd and the boys of the Club
were careful to see that every one was
properly entertained. The committee
on reception was composed of John W..
Mindermann, Fred J. HiddIeson, Sam
Van Zanten, Fred G.. Mindermann and
Thos. J. Crogan, while the floor COM
mittee was composed of Messrs. Geo.
Nay1or, J. Hammond, N. Anderson
and Harry Hill.
Splendid music was furnished by the
Jacoby-Compton orchestra of ten
pieces and nearly every dance was en-
cored. Supper was served at the
Loescher restaurant from IL to l
o'clock. Among the guests were many
of the friends of the Club from Racine,
Waukegan, Milwaukee and Chicago.
The boys of the Marquette Club are to
be congratulated on the jolly time af-
forded their friends at this their first
party after the Lenten season.

The constitutional amendment Of
fered by the republicans for the control
of trusts, near the closing days of the
recent session of congress, was the
poorest political play attempted by the
trust party since the commencement of
the reign of Hanna. 1t never had a
sincere supporter, and the attempted
trick fell flat. The following frank
comment we extract from recent
editorial inthe Dubuque Globe j ournal:
The Sioux City Tribune reproducee
with enthusiasm the New York Suns
statement that the republicans offered
the antitrust amendment with nc
hope or desire of passing it. This il
undoubtedly correct. The amendment
had no merit and it is inconceivable
that it expressed the honest judgment
of the intelligent and experienced men
who compose the republican majority
in the popular branch of congress.

MATTERS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
IOWA PEOPLE.

Anamosa. Ia, June 9.-Jeff Har-
eison, a United States prisoner, who
carried the distinction of two life
sentences for robbery, has been set ut
liberty. President Mckinley signed
the papers. which reached here
Wednesday. May II, 1893, Harrison
was received ut the Anamosa peni-
tertiary from the United States court
for the northern district of Alabama.
The marshal in charge of the prisoner
surprised the penitentiary officials by
handing them two commitment pa
pers, each to which the warden was
commanded to keep Harrison at hard
labor during all his natural lift.
The charges upon which Harrison
was tried and convicted were train and
stage coach robberies. The prisoner
stoutly maintained his innocence, but
was convicted on the evidence of one
Jim Brown, brother-in-law, who
turned states evidence. Harrison put
his spare time in the manufacture OF
trinkets from shells. These he dis
posed of to visitors passing through
the prison. With the proceeds of these
sales he paid the expenses of his ap
peal and he finally triumphed over all
his difficulties.

Not War But Murder in the Philip

pines.
Edmund d. Russ, now serving with
company H. Forty-fifth infantry in the
Philippines, wrote a letter to a friend in
Aurora, ILL, in which he says the SOL
diers enjoy shooting the natives and
have orders to take no prisoners. He
writes under date Of Pascao, Luzon,
April Is, as follows:
owe leave tonight with one platoon for
Pomplona, where there is band of
about thirty-five insurgents, and by to-
morrow night there will be thirty five
niggers less. The boys would rather
shoot niger than eat meal. Our
orders are to take no prisoners. and
you know what that means-if one
gets on his knees to you, pull pistol
and put bullet in his black head; or
line syuad up and make the niger
run. He don't get more than fifty
yards away when he is more of hole
than grugru, by which name they
are known here"
1t seems almost incredible that such
terrible and brutal destruction of hui
man life could be ordered or tolerated
by American commanders, and yet, if
such work is not taking place, why are
newspaper correspondents prohibited
from telegraphing the news?

They succeeded in overpowering him

was escorted home and guarded while
she packed her trunk and then started
for Chicago. The trouble arose from
the mayor finding letter to his wife

terms us tolndicate that the letter was
no insult to the woman.

Oklahoma Farmers Work Day and Night
on the Harvest.
Perry, O. T., June 11.-Farmers Of
Oklahoma are gathering tremendous
wheat harvest and for the last week
self-binders have been running day
and night. Sunday hundreds of ma
chimes were reaping the golden grain.
While the preachers, women and small
children attended the country churches
the men and boys rushed the binders,
cutting the heavy wheat while the sun
shone.
Wheat growers say no such wheat
crop ever was raised in the west as is
being harvested in Oklahoma, south
ern Kansas, Indian territory and north
ern Texas. The acreage sown is un-
precedented and the quality of the
grain was never better. Oklahoma
alone will harvest more than 10000, 600
bushels. The recent upward tendency
in the price of wheat has given new
hope to the territory wheat growers.
Besides wheat the oats, corn, cotton
and vegetable crops were never more
