All A Mistake.

The Seattle Daily Times of the 27th mentions the marriage of Nellie Bax ter and Contractor c. N. Boyes, of this city on Oct. 2Oth last. The News of the 25th of last month gave these peo- pie credit for being married on the strength of the statement in the Ju- neau Dispatch. The truth is, that the fair and fascinating Nellie did not mar ry Mir. Boyes as stated, although it was the generaIimpression that they had entered into marriage contract. MT. Boyes and the charming Nellie occu- pied two rooms together in the new Hunter block in this city from the time of her arrival until last Saturday after noon, at which time, they went to Ju
 neau, and the next morning took pass age on the Cottage City for Seattle. MT. Boyes told some of his friends that they were not married, while the willy Miss Nellie informed some of her acquaintances that she was not, and would not marry Mr. Boyes, and while they occupied the two rooms, she slept in the bed and he on the floor.

Nipped i'll The Bud.

A few days since young girl about
l6 years of age and residing on the
west side of the city, and a young man
somewhat her senior, left the young
lady's house during the afternoon
and during the night did not return.
The anxiety of the friends of both
parties was aroused by their absence
and consequently a search was made
for them. After some time it dawned
upon the parents Of the girl that posi-
bly, they had eloped. Accordingly
inquiries were set on foot at once.
The parents made every train during
the day and finally their pursuit was
rewarded by finding the truants just
about to take a Chicago & North
Western train for Racine, in order
to be married. Their intentions were
nipped in the bud, however, and the
girl was taken to her home. The
young man is an employe at the
Sterling.

this year than usual, it having been
decided to keep the station open and

been comparatively light and naviga-
ton has continued longer than usual.

John Guess and Miss Jennie Kleist Are
United In Marriage.
John Guess and Miss Jennie Kleist
we're married Wednesday evening by
Rev. Elskamp, of st. Georges church,
at the priests house. After the cere-
mony the bridal party retired to the
home of the brides parents where a
delightful supper was served. Later in
the evening the newly welded pair
took the train for the northern part of
the state, where they will spend few
weeks on the honeymoon outing, after
which they expect to return TO Kenosha
and take up their residence in the
house on Market street prepared for
home coming by the groom.
Both of the young people are we'll
known and popular in this city. Mr.
Guest came to KenOsha about two
years ago from St. Joe and became
foreman at the Chicago Rockford Ho-
siery Co., which position he now holds.
They succeeded in lodging their
friends little when they left the city,
but when they return the probabilities
seem to be that they will be welcomed
in very warm manner.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
The owen Company cave Fine PrOduc-
ton of shakespeare's Comedy.


William Owen and his company and
the Kenosha audience are recOnciled.
The genial sun of good fellowship
has taken the frost out of both parties.
The constraint has been entirely re-
moved. Wednesday evening the audi
ence, though largely the same that
gave the players such chilling recep-
ton at the opening performance,
warmed up considerably and showed a
disposition to meet them half way or
even more if necessary. There were
several curtain calls Wednesday even
ing for both Mr.. Owen and Miss Rey-
nolds, and certainly both we'll merited
the recognition.
Miss Reynolds has never appeared to
better advantage before home audi
ence than she did as Portia, in the
Merchant of Venice Wednesday even
ing. Both her Interpretation and
performance of the part were entirely
adequate. It would be difficult to
state in just what scene she appeared
most favorably. There were features.
both in the opening scene with her maid
Nerissa and in that of the caskets, which
were very worthy of compliment. In
the scene following the trial where the
rings are given away, and that in the
last act where the disloyalty to oath
has been discovered. bliss Reynolds
again appears to good advantage.
The frolicsomeness, of the episode was
we'll brought out, while the dignity of
POrtia was very subtlely maintained.
1t was in the court scene, however,
that Miss Reynolds gave strongest
proof of her ability. A true apprecia-
ton of the spirit of the author and
thorough sympathy with the character
and the situation characterized Miss
Reynolds rendition of these scenes.
Mr.. Ovens Shylock was strong. It
introduced Shylock in new light.
Every line prepared the way to the last
act in which the Jew appears. While
we abhor his avarice and his malice,
the condition Of the poor old Jew de-
serted by his daughter, and spurned
and spat upon by the christians, com
pels our sympathy. Shylock is Ger
tainlY one of Mr.. Ovens best per-
formances.
The company, on the whole, was
good, and the stage setting and cos
tunes maintained the degree of excel
Iency which characterized the first
nights performance.

Matt Moder is congratulating him
self this afternoon on the fact that his
fox hound is still in the land of the
living. The dog is a constant COM
panion to his master, especially. at
night, and quite an affection exists be-
tween them. This morning the dog
stepped into one Of the dry houses at
the fish docks and was shut up there.
When it was discovered that the dog
was inside, the door was thrown open
and the hound was found in an IN
conscious condition. He revived, how
ever, after some treatment and ex-
posture to fresh air.

EXTRAORDINARY
Interest Attached to the Ohio Repub-
lican Convention, TO be Held Dur
ing the Present Week.

Cincinnati, o., May 29.--The Repub-
lican State Convention at Columbus
this week promises to be an extraor-
binary political event. not because OF
the factional fighting alone, but also
because of its effect on the Presiden-
tial election next year in the Presi-
dents State.
1t has been ten years since the Re
publicans lost a State ticket. AS most
OF the State officers, including Gov
ernor, are elected for two years and
accorded a second term, there is
new deal once in four years. This is
the year for a new deal from Governor
down TO the minor State officials, and
1t so happens that the full new State
ticket are nominated the year preeed-
ing Presidential campaigns. AS the
new State administration will have all
the State machinery it's control next
year, when delegates to the National
Republican Convention are to be
selected there is considerable interest
in the present contest at the State cap
ital. Members of Congress are also
interested, as the Legislature that is
elected with a full State ticket next
November will have the appointment
OF the State under the census Of 1900
into districts for Congressional pur-
poses as well as for legislative and
other purposes.
AS all the counties have endorsed
the national administration and all
the candidates for Governor and other
offices claim 10 be strongly In favor Of
the denomination OF President McKin-
ley, there Is no doubt whatever about
the convention adopting a strong reso-
luton for the denomination of Pregi-
dent Mckinley. but the character OF
the Ohio delegation that will be sent
TO the National Convention for him
next year may depend to some extent
on the makeup of the State ticket and
the new State Central Committee. as
the Kurtz-B ushnell-McKisso element
want to secure control now with
view TO preventing Senator Hanna
from being one OF the Ohio delegates
at-large next year. In addition 10 the
advantages TO be secured now for the
Presidential year, there is an unusual
number Of candidates for the State Of
fees and for the power that goes with
them and with new Legislature.
The two leading candidates for Gov
ernor are Judge George K Nash and
Hon. Harry NJ Daugherty, both friends
Of President Mckinley, and the fsrmer
Of Senator Hanna also. The third In
the race Is Lieut.-Gov. Asa w. Jones.
Among the other gubernatorial eandl-
dates are Ebert Douglas, Of Chilli
cothe; Frank A. Durham, OF Zanes-
yillei l. W. Hull, OF Sandusky: W. p.
Orr, OF Plqua; VI. l.. Symser, Of Woos-
ter, and other local favorites.

terday Tor Money.

t.rday Tor Money.
Havana, May 29-Fully one hun
dred men with rifles were waiting in
line to-day for the opening OF the of
fee of the payment Of Cuban soldiers
who disband and give up their arms,
and there were also present about
eight men with receipts for arms de-
liyered up TO the civil authorities. The
majority Of those with rifles say they
have had all the fighting they want
and that they do not care who takes
the arms, so long as they receive their
SIS.
1t is probable that the payment will
continue here all day, owing to the
fact that it takes some time to look
UP each mans record.
AdYices from Cienfuegos say the re-
ports, under date of May 18th, or riot
ing there on the part of Cuban dock
laborers, have been exaggerated: that
not over a dozen men were engaged.
and that only one man was wounded.
instead OF one man being killed and
seven wounded, as at first reported.
Havana, May 29.-To-day's events in
connection with the payment Of the
Cuban troops entitled to apply here for
a share in the American gratuity have
effectually killed on the opposition 10

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
The Proceedings OF the Representatives OF
the Majors Yesterday.

the Majors Yesterday.
The Hague, May pa brief official
record of the doing of the peace con-
ference during the past week says:
Provisional proposals for mediation
and arbitration have been submitted
by the representatives of Russia.
Great Britain, Italy and the United
States.
The correspondent here Of the Asso-
ciated Press learns that the statement
that the Americans had submitted an
arbitration proposal is incorrect.
Their proposals for a permanent tri-
bunal are not ready, as French trans
lation is necessary. They will prob
ably be submitted on Wednesday.
The drafting committee, or sub-com-
mittee of the arbitration committee,
met to-day and discussed the Russian
scheme, adopting with slight modif-
cations the first six articles.
Count Nigra, chief of the Italian
delegation, submitted a proposal of
mediation and arbitration consisting
of six articles in the form of amend
ments to the Russian project.
The Americans also submitted an
amendment, demanding that, in the
event of dispute between two ma
tons, each should choose another ma
ton to act together as arbitrator to
settle the differences without blood
shed. This must not be COMPOUNDED
with the proposal for a permanent ar
bitration tribunal. which the Ameri-
cans will introduce during the week.
The Italian proposal includes clause
providing that mediation and arbitra-
ton shall not stop mobilization or
preparations for war. Neither the
American nor Italian amendment has
yet been discussed.
The naval and military sections Of
the disarmament committee both met
to-day and exchanged ideas in a de-
sultory manner. The impression gains
ground that the outcome of this COM
missioI will be practically nil
