The value to a community Of the
work done by an institution like the
Gilbert M. Simmons Library cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents and
yet at the same time it cannot be over
estimated. The great increase in cir
culation shown by the annual report
and the broadening out of the work Of
the library in every department shows
that the people are making good use Of
its privileges and that they fully ap-
preciate the opportunities afforded
them. In few short years the library
has come to fill such large place in
the intellectual life of the city that the
wonder is now how we ever got along
without it.,

THE proposition that man has
perfect right to let dead animals rot IN
the hot sun within smelling distance
of the habitations of his fellow men
simply because he owns the land they
are on, and because he wants the bones
without the trouble to dig them up, is
a novel one. A man has perfect
right to the fullest use and enjoyment
of his own as long as he does not inter-
fere with the rights of others, but the
people in the South wards are not yet
prepared to admit chat the owner of
the land whereon the dead animals lie
has any moral or legal right to compel
them to endure the horrible stencil
arising from their bodies al summer.
It would seem that there mus be some
thing ia the law somewhere which
would give the authorities of the town
of Pleasant Prairie power to abate
such public nuisance without their
being obliged to wait for decision
of the courts, but if it is necessary to
get decision from the court before
they can act, let the matter be taken
up at once. Every days delay makes
matters just so much worse for the
people whose comfort is destroyed and
whose health is endangered by the
horrible stencil from the lake shore.

THERE may be and possibly is con-
siderable opposition to the purchase of
the Kupfer property for the hospital
site as was stated in a letter to the
News from a prominent business man
recently but all thought of using the
Orphan Asylum lot for the hospital as
has been frequently suggested will
have to be given up. The lot can be
used for nothing but an orphan asy-
1um. In the trust deed of the property
made by Chas. Symes and filed for
record Nov. Is, 1852, it is expressly
stated that "the object of this convey
ance is the establishment and building
of an asylum for orphans and desti-
tute children" There seems to be a
general impression that the property
was set apart for benevolent pur.
poses" but no where in the deed Of gift
is any such expression found and ac-
cording to the terms of the trust the
property must be used only for an or
phan asylum. There appears to be no
way by which the property could be
turned over to the Hospital Associa-
ton, and if the Association wants a
vacant lot for site it will have to buy
one. The directors have only one de-
sire and that is to do the best they can
for the hospital and the fullest express
sion of public opinion on the subject
of a choice of site or any other mat
ter connected with the building of a
hospital would be welcomed by them.
If anyone has any suggestions to
make that might be of value regarding
site let them be made now. The di.
rectors have no wish to be arbitrary on
the matter but start had to be made
and the Kupfer proposition was the
best up to date. If any one has any
thing better to offer now is the time to
come forward.

HEAVY RAIN DOES DAMAGE.

Cellars Are Filled With Water and Roads
Are Made Almost impossible.
The rain of Friday evening proved
to be one of the heaviest rains ever
known in Kenosha and as result of
the fall of water many reports of dam
ages are being received this morning.
Many cellars in the city have been
filled with water and this is especially
true of North Side districts.
The roads on all sides of the city are
so heavy today that it is almost inn
possible to use them and the farmers
will be forced to keep away from the
city.
The damage done to the farmer and
his crops by the heavy rain will be
and the farmers Will be
set back again in getting the late corn
planted.

COOPER IN THE CABINET I?
Sudden Call to Washington Gives Rise to
Rumors He May Fill Coming Vacancy.


Rumors He May Fill Coming Vacancy.
There is considerable speculation In
political circles and there was consider
able talk at the Racine County Old Set
tiers society picnic at Union Grove
Friday, in regard to the sudden call
Congressman Cooper received to visit
Washington. The fact that he was in
close consultation with the President
and Postmaster General Henry C.
Payne, upon his arrival there is sig
nificant. The reason of the summons
is not given.
It is known that there has been talk
of two coming vacancies in President
Roosevelt's Ca binet and many are won
dering if such vacancies occur, if Mr..
Cooper will not be rendered one of the
places. It is conceded that the Con-
gresham is a great favorite of the
President and stands close to the
powers that be. Stranger things have
happened, and it would not be much
of surprise if Congressman Cooper
was rendered place in the cabinet in
case of the vacancies.

knowledge of the whereabouts of
Lumpkin A. Gill, his manager, who
was indicted with him. All further
inquiries were referred to Attorney
Rowe. Rowe stated that Mrs. Arnold

TOBACCO IN court
Argument Continued in the
Suit Of Directors Of the
Tobacco Stemming
Company.

Argument was continued today before
Vice Chancellor Stevenson in the suit
of the Unitd Stats Tobacco Steming
Company against Harry e. Richards
Joseph G. Havens, p. w. West and
others, directors and stockholders of the
company, to set aside the issue of 81, 600
600 of stock and the transfer of 5000
shares to Josph G. Havens for certain
patent rights which he held in tobac-
co steming machine in use by the COM
pany. The case has been in the courts
for some time.
The issue of 81 100000 of NV stock
and the transfer of $500, 1000 of it to Mr..
Havens was effected at meeting of the
directors held September 21, 1901. The
complaining stockholders allege that they
wre not informed at the time the new
stock was issued that the transfer to
Mr.. Hayens was to be made. w. r.
Patterson, wealthy tobacco manufae-
turer of Richmond, Va, and stock
helder in the steming company, testified
that he understood that part Of th
ST 100000 was needed to meet certain
outstanding notes of the company and
that the remainder was to be left in the
hands of trust company until needed.
Mr.. Patterson said he was not in
formed of the transfer of $300,000 worth
of stock until some time afterward.
Other stockholders who testified in a
similar strain were w. B. Saunders,
a wholesale grocer of Richmond, Va,
and Stephen w. Huntington, of Brook
lyn.
When Ex-Governor Griggs, on bhalf Of
the complainants, began to cross-exam-
inc the directors in relation to the meet
ing of September 81, 1901, Attorney
General Robert .McCarter, who appeared
for til directors, strenuously objected on
the ground that there was nothing inn
proper about the meeting. The objection
was allowed. The case was still on this
afternoon.
