COOPER MUST PAY.
Judge Dana Refuses Aged Lover q
New Trial

Judge Dana this morning handed
down a number of decisions in cases
which he has had under advisement
Tor some time past. Among the more
important was one overruling the re-
quest Tor a new trial in the case OF
Bower against Cooper in which the
plaintiff was given a verdict for $4,-
ooo against j. c. Cooper for breach of
promise.
In the case of Lacey against the
ROCK Island in which the heirs of the
plaintiff secured verdict of $4,000 a
motion Tor a new trial was overruled.
IN the case of Rodman against Cap
tain Wintrode, marshal of the the CITY

duced from $50 to one dollar and the
costs assessed on the defendant

In the case of the state of Kansas
against the International Harvester
company which is charged with vio-
lating the antitrust law Judge Dana
handed down a decision this morning
overruling their request that service
be set aside. 1t is the contention or
the harvester company that it is i'm
possible under the Kansas laws as they
now stand to issue a warrant for
foreign corporation. The case is
brought as criminal prosecution and
the further contention of the company
is that it should have been brought as
a mfsdemeanor and that under those
circumstances the service would have
been good.

GOOD BILL NEXT WEEK.
Exceptional Vaudeville offered at
didwinter Exposition.
February.

Manager Ralph Brigham of the
Midwinter exposition has secured for
the final week of the show at the
Auditorium four actc of vaudeville
that will surpass everything offered at
any time in the history of the show
during the past six years.
Thomas and Harry Gerome will ap-
pear in posturing act illustrat-
in Grecian Roman statuary. The
Geromes were one of the feature acts
of the Barnum & Bailey show last
year and they are now under contract
with that big enterprise for the COM
ing season. This act as are the others
on the bill, is different from any that
have heretofore been presented at
Midwinter and will prove of great in
terest. Their posing represents the
master pieces of the great sculptors
of Rome and Greece and is an act
that is highly educating along the
tertaining. Their work is done in
perfectly white costumes and will
conclude with boxing bout.
Campbell and Brady appear in a
novelty Juggling act that is a striking
example of an interesting and refined
vaudeville performance. This team
is made up in reality of Mr.. and Mrs.
ing four-year-old son who does his
part to make the performance enter
tanning. Mrs. Brady is a petite and
charming little woman who will capti-
vate the audience. The act is very
handsomely dressed.
Misses Mae La Fluer and Nola Sat
terfield will appear in a double Roman
ring and trapeze com bination act that
will illustrate the degree of physical
and skill that 1t is possible
for young women to attain. Their
work IS of high order.
