BOARD Or MANAGERS
OF TIE WHEELING BOWLING LEAGUB MET
LAST NIGHT
Several Important Matters Under Consideration "A
Club 0snsUrsd-Ihs Prizes to DO Award
sd-0hsr Sport

The Board Of Managers Of the Wheel
ing Bowling League held meeting
last night at the Mcclure. Several i'm
portant questions came up for consider
alton. One of the most interesting
matters was the games at Siaberts,
Tuesday night, between the Columoias
and La Bellies. The score sheet sent
to the secretary credited Mr.. John
Wright, q member of the La Bellies.
with 2l6 pins In the second game. 1t
subsequently transplred that the score
was "doctored," not with the intention
OF defrauding any team or player out
OF a position rightfully earned, but as
Joke" The score placed Mr.. Wright
in the lead for individual hohors,
whereas he made but 14S pins in the
second game, and finished the season
in fourth place. The Board could not
see the humorous side of the situation,
and passed vote Of censure upon the
club, which the secretary was instruct
ed to communicate Ia writing to the
captain of the team.
There are four games TO be bowled
next week, but they cannot affect the
Individual averages OF the leaders. The
first four players are as follows, finish
ing In the order named: Hervey Of the
Brownies; Mcclure, Brownies; Adams.
Wheeling; Wright La Belle. The
proposition OF Wheat 81 Hancher
to furnish four silver cups at
actual cost, was accepted. The team
prizes will be as follows: First, silver
cup, value $40; second, cup, value $50;
third, cup, value SIS; fourth, cup,value
$40. The donated prizes were grouped,
and will be distributed as individual
prizes, as follows: First, vest by Il. G.
Richards. value $40, hat by Dinger
Bros, value $3.50; second, smoker set
by John Coleman, value SIS, perfume, c.
r. Goethe, value 80. so, and cuff buttons,
Noble Bros, value $3.50; third, cigars
Geo. B. Hervey, value SIS; fourth, hat,
Gundling & Co., value So; fifth, collar
and cuff box, Charles Menkemiller,
value SIS.
A proposition to hold banquet dur
ing holiday week was considered, but
did not meet with general approval. II
was decided to give the banquet at the
close of the season, In March.
Statler's electrical umpire was also
considered. Many members Of the
Board were not familiar with it and
made q personal investigation at the
Musee. This matter will come up again
at a special meeting to be held next
Friday, when all the games will have
been PLAYED and the official standing OF
clubs and individual players will be an
nounced.

Warde and James.

The advance sale of seats promises
large audiedce at the Opera House TO-
night, to see and hear Warde and james
In their famous revival Of Henry Nv.
Mr.. Warde impersonatss the Prince,
and it is said that the character tt'
him as we'll as any OF the many In which
be has appeared. Mr.. James concep
ton OF the portly and irrepressi-
BILE Falstsff is said to be very
amusing, and the critics have de-
clared that no portrayal Of that role for
a generation back could compare with
that of James. The reputation OF
both actors is alone sufficient to attract
large audiences, no matter what they
essay.

country have been upon the prob
leinatical Wilson measure day and
night, and the Mckinley law might
a. well have been repealed long ago
by a specific act of congress.
1t can not truthfully be said that
the hard times occurred under pro,
tective tariff regime. Neither can
it ever be successfully controverted
that these are in very truth demo
cratic hard times. Nor can the con-
sistent efforts of the republicans in
congress to defeat the Wilson bill
be charged with any share of the
blame, unless, as Joseph Medill has
said: An attempt to repair broken
Mississippi dixie may be charged
with causing a food.
There is only one way in which
the McKinley law can be restored
to operation before the dissolution
of the present democratic congress,
and that is by the passage of reso.
luton declaring that there will be
no meddling with the law as it
stands on the statute books. In a
month after the passage of such a
resolution the hard times would be
al an end.

Two Rivers Chronicle, (dem.)
If "Boss" Sawyer is to be given the
credit OF naming the republican
state ticket it must be conceded that
he has displayed remarkable wisdom
in his selection OF men TO fill the
various state offices. The ticket is
d clean one and a creditable one
from top to bottom, and there is nc
use trying to defeat it by giving
Sawyer the credit for it. Let the
democrats nominate one equally as
good and we don't care what demo.
cratic boss gets the credit for il, il
will, at least, be a ticket that every
democrat can take pleasure in sup,

He must be a superficial reader

to link the hard times in any way
with the Mckinley law. The Me

November day when democratic

were elected to govern the country

LEGAL OPPRESSION.

against the Democratic state treas
urers, Batz and KuehD, for interest
on state funds retained during their
terms Of office, from 1870 to 1878,
aggregating $lsI,ol5.
The case differed from the cases
previously decided in that the law
which took effect in 1878, specified
that the treasurer must thereafter
turn all fees and perquisites into the
state treasury. The defendants con.
ten ded that this implied ratifica-
ton Of their previous acts in taking
intere ST, but Judge Siebecker holds
it has been decided that such inter-
est was not perquisit, but part Of
the state funds.
Maj. Henry BGtz, of Manitowoc,
who was treasurer from 1870 TO 1874
is sued for $4,000, the amount re-
ceiyed by him for interest on depos-

Mai. Bniz was elected as a re-
publican and served his term as a
republican, but since the Tilden
campaign of 1875 he has been a
democrat. Ferdinand Kuehn was
one of the "reformers" elected in
the anti-Washburn upheayal of

been sued until now, on the eve of ali
election, while suits were commenc.

urers in 1891, shows that the demo
