 HENRY IRVING AND MISS ELLEN
 TERRY.
 At the matinee to-day Cat o'clock sharp) at the Hyperion theater Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry will be seen in Wills poetical drama, King Charles l." This play is presented here in compliance with numerous requests, and there can be no doubt that 1t should specially appeal to students, as, apart from it's strong situations and moving incidents, it has great educational value in its accurate reproduction, in its man ners, scenery, costumes, armor ana ap- pointments of the period. Charles IS first shown in his delightful domestic relations, but there soon is heard the dull note of tragedy, and from that time the events move forward with extreme orickness to the awful close in one of the greatest catastrophes in English history. Throughout it all Charles as Irving portrays him, commands respect and sympathy. Miss Terry has g. charming character as Queen Henrletta Maria. and has several opportunities Tor the QlSplay OI all Hel lldSlS Loi SC' At night, at S:15 sharp, Irving will be seen in Louis XI.," character that will afford the strongest possible con trast to that of Charles. The mean- ness, vices and hypocrisy of Louis are rendered by Irving with startling fidel- ity and the underlying humor is br ught out so strongly that the effect of the play is intensely amusing.

The letter is dated Aug. 18th, on

Honorable Henry A. Cooper, M. c.,

THERE may possibly be some excuse
for the American soldiers in the Phil.
ippines who, confronted by cruel and
relentless foe, administered the "water
cure" in order to secure information
on which their very lives depended; but
there can be no excuse for the police
officers of our larger cities who deliber-
ately and in cold blood torture de-
fenceless prisoner in order to extort
some kind of a confession from him.
The extent to which this evil has
grown and the lengths to which the
police will go in their efforts to obtain
evidence are sad commentaries on our
boasted civilization. The tortures of
the "third Degree as administered in
the "front office" are only one degree
less horrible than those of the Span
ish inquisition.

IT has never been customary for the
President to go outside the limits Of
the United States during his term OF
office, but there is nothing IN the law
of the land to prevent his doing so if
he wishes to. The custom was estab-
1ished by Washington and has been
rigidly adhered to by his successors
ever since, but there is no law on the
subject. The question of the right of
the President to go outside United
States territory has been raised in
connection with President Roosevelt's
proposed trip to witness the autumn
naval maneuvers, which would take
him outside the limits. President
Mckinley caused the whole subject to
be investigated by the law officers of
the government when he wanted to
return from California by way of the
Canadian Pacific.

The electric street car rides over the

OF all the places we visited none
were more enjoyable than the

mountain crag in the Cheyenne over
looking the city.

Our leaving of Manitou was provi-

BISHOP STORY FALSE.

Somers Man Drowned at Mishawaka Ind,
Had No Intention of Marrying Again.
Quite little talk has been caused in
Kenosha by the story of the drowning
of John Bishop, of Somers, which has
been published broadcast over the
country and which alleged that Bishop
was to have been married in Mishawa-
ka Sunday.
The story is branded as a malicious
lie by the friends of Bishop as well as
by the friends of Miss Alpha Parker,
the young woman of the Indiana town
who it is claimed the young man was
about to wed. The fact that Bishop
had wife and two children in this
county gave the story its sensational
features and the widow and her friends
we're crushed by the disgrace that was
brought upon them by the thought1ess
work of the correspondent of the Chi
cago papers at Mishawaka.
The Parker family had been friends
of the Bishop family for years and
Miss Parker was well aware of the
marriage of John Bishop and there
had never been any thing between
them in the way of love affair.
Bishop had planned to start for Somers
on the day after his death and the
passes from the railway company from
Mishawaka we're found in his pockets
after his death.
Miss Parker has issued statement
in which she declares that the report
that she was to have been married is
without foundation and that the whole
story of the approaching marriage to
Bishop is without foundation and that
the whole story of the approaching
marriage was given out by an ire
sponsible correspondent without her
consent or knowledge.

The indignant New Jersey father
who has petitioned the War depart
ment to punish an officer of the army
because he preferred staying at the
front with his regiment to coming
home to be married will probably get
little satisfaction. It would never do
to establish such precedent. For if
Uncle Sam ever attempted to
straighten out all the love affairs of
all his boys in blue new bureau
would have to be established in Wash

Plan Proposed for the Building Of A
Macadam Boulevard Between
Racine and KenOsha.
BOTH COUNTIES TO PAY PART.
Sixteen Thousand Dollars Needed for The
Improvement-Only Bad Road Be
tween Chicago and Milwaukee.

Sld1SuCC 0uyuGIs tue we'll KNOW
Racine insurance man, is making ar
effort to get movement started in Ke
nosha to provide for the building of a
macadam road between the two cities
along the lake shore. Now that Mil.
waukee avenue has been paved to the
city limits and as College avenue in
Racine has also been paved to the
limits, there remains just eight miles
of road to be built to ,connect the two
cities with a boulevard.
The rise of the automobile as a
means of 1ocomotion has largely given
rise to this new scheme for the connec-
ton of the two cities with a paved
roadway. Kenosha now has a score of
the "devi1 wagons" and Racine has
double this number and the clauffeurs
of the two towns are anxious to see a
roadway built on which they can find
a place for the enjoyment Of their We
hicles. With the completion Of the
proposed driveway there would be a
roadway of over twelve miles in length
with city at either end, and this
would offer splendid chance for the
owners of automobiles and carriages.
The road would be the most beauti-
full in the southern part Of the State,
and it would be benefit not only to
the people in the cities but also
to the farmers living between the
two cities. In the winter time the
road is almost impossible and in the
summer it is so heavy, with sand that
the people who are forced to use il find
it very heavy. People riding from
Chicago to Milwaukee have repeatedly
reported that the worst stretch of road
to be found on the trip is the eight
miles between Kenosha and Racine.
1t is estimated that the cost of ma
cadamizing the road between the two
cities would be about $4,000 and Mr..
Snyder suggests that the sum be di-
vided equally between the two counties.
1t is thought possible that the county
boards Of the two counties can find a
way to raise the funds for the pay
ment of the Improvement.
This plan may be feasible, but it is
thought by interested parties that a
much better plan would be to have the
road built by private capital and the
repairs and maintenance paid for by
the two counties. Should an effort be
made to saddle the expense of the road
on the two counties the old contro-
versy first brought up by the proposed
building of the Sheridan road would
come up and it is very probable that
the farmers in the Western parts of
the two counties would object rather
strenuously to paying for the improve
ment in the east side of the county.
At the next meeting of the county
board the matter will be laid before
the board and an effort made to have
some action taken. It is said that the
Racine people are anxious to have the
road improved and that they will meet
the Kenosha people half way in any
proposition that may be made. The
matchmaking of the road would be an
improvement that would greatly in
crease the values Of property in both
counties and any feasible plan pro-
posed should receive hearty support.
