THE LEGISLATURE.

The session yesterday was short and
devoted almost entirely to routine
work. Many bills we're introduced 10
both branches and a great many passed,
but nearly all of them we're OF locs.
character. The visit of the two COM
mittees on roads TO Norfolk took away
many OF the members oil both branches.
The Norfolk tsr-centensry bill was
disposed and now goes to the governor
for his approval. The Senate readily
concurred in the amendments proposed
by the House. One Of the amendments
provides for a State commission I'd be
appointed by the governor, and the
other stipulstes that il the $1,000, 900
capital stock is not put up by January

"What's that man doing here ?n de-
manded Mr.. Grosyenor, turning to one
of the doorkeepers. "ae has no bust.
ness on the floor OF the House." The
white.haired Congressman from Oaio
was redhot ell over until he saw Hack
ett's coat tails disappear through the
corridor beyond. The former official
of the Navy Department went of 10
search of Senator Foraker in order To
burden the latter with his troubles.
Later Mr.. Hackett was allowed to

Judge BeIden Decides to Make Some
Important Changes in the Rules
Of the Circuit Court.
TO PROTECT THE LITldANTs
All Fees in Divorce Gases Must Be Paid
Protected Carbon Copies Barred.

/ Judge E. B. Belden, the new Judge
of the First Wisconsin Circuit, has de-
cided to make some important changes
IN the rules of the Circuit Court and
at the opening of the September term
of the court these new laws of pro-
| cedure will probably be promulgated
for the first time. For some time the
| officials of the county and the litigants
at the bar of justice have been consid-
erab1y annoyed on account of the fail
ure of attorneys to pay the fees due
the State and circuit for the filing of
certain cases. Tie first of the new
rules will protect divorce litigants and
it is the purpose of the court to require
that all fees in divorce cases be paid
before any evidence in the case is
taken. In this manner the clerk will
be assured of his fees for the entry of
/ the DEGREES in the docket of the county
and the 1itigant will be assured that
the decree will be entered.
In some cases the fact that the de-
crees of divorce were not entered has
caused no end of trouble for the parties
interested and it has evec gone so far
as to result in successful prosecutions
for bigamy. With the clerk paid in
advance all the liability is removed
from the 1itigants and they are as
sured that the rulings of the court will
be entered.
The Judge may still go further in
the prosecution of this rule and insist
that the attorneys fees for the work
in the divorce cases be paid before the
cases are tried. This ruling would be
one which would be exceedingly popu-
lar with the members of the bar.
Another rule that is proposed is a
rule to limit the use of carbon copies.
In the past the attorneys have abused
the liberties given them and some of
the copies filed for record are so poor
that it is almost impossible to read
them. In order to do away with this
sort of loose business the new rule will
provide that no carbon copies of legal
documents will be received for fling.
The last rule suggested is rule to
regulate the work of Court Commits
sioners. The Commissioners will be
forced to make return to the court of
all matters coming before them in
which they refuse to act. 1t will not
be necessary for the Commissioners to
give their reasons for refusing to act,
but they must show some record of the
refusal.
These new rules will greatly facili-
tate the work of the court in this
county and they will be received with
favor by the mem bers Of the bar.

MISS McHENRY Welded.
Former KenOsla Girl Was Married at

Former Kenosha Girl Was Married at
Memphis, Tenn, Wednesday.
A wedding of perfect charm in it's
simplicity of arrangement was that
celebrated Wednesday morning at
Cavalry church, uniting Miss: Charles
eta Wallace MacHenry and Alfred
Schaefer, of Chicago. No cards were
issued, but large number of friends
we're in the church at $50, the wedding
hour. Bunches of daisies on the pew
ends made an isle of flowers, and the
choir rail and altar were simply deco
rated with the same lovely field flower.
r. Jefferson Hall, presiding at the
organ, had rendered an artistic pro-
gramme of wedding music previous to
the coming of the bridal party, and
for professional played the bridal
chorus from "Lohengrin." The bride
entered with Mrs. F. P. Davenport,
matron of honor, who at the altar gave
her away. Mr.. Schaefer came in with
his best man, Stewart Reed Brown,
of Chicago. They were preceded from
the vestry room by the officiant, the
Rev. F. P. Davenport, D. D. During
the impressive reading of the service
Mr.. Hall played Memberships "Spring
Song" and at its close the wedding
march from "The Midsummer Nights
Dream
The bride wore a handsome tailor
suit Of blue broadc1oth, trimmed with
white, with round hat of blue and
white. She carried bouquet of daisies
yelled with asparagus vines, and the
matron of honor carried her white
prayer-book, from which the service
was read. Mrs. Davenport wore gray
EN- broidered crepe de chine, trimmed
with pink chiffon, and white tulle
hat, trimmed with pink.
After the service the bridal party
and few friends went to the union
depot, where Mr.. and Mrs. Schaefer
took the train for Lookout. After a
short stay there they will go to Wash
ingto New York and the East They
return to Chicago about the first of
July, where Mr.. Schaefer has business
connection with the seed firm of Albert
Dickinson Company.
Mrs. Schaefer is originally from
Kenosha, but for a number of years
has lived in Memphis, Tenn, where
she numbers her friends by scores.
For several years past she has been in
structor in English at the Higbee
school, from the faculty of which, as
well as from her wide circle of friends,
she will be greatly missed Memphis

THE SUBURBAN..
Jacob Lifts Splendid Production Continues
to Fill Mcvickers Theatre.

Jacob Lifts splendid production of
"The Suburban" continues to fill
McVicler's theater to the doors be-
cause Of the wonderful appeal which
it makes to the emotions aud to the
senses. The beauty of the scenes and
the power Of the action are remarkable
while the scene of the race is one that
makes the blood rush through the veins
and causes people to hold their breath
SO intent are they on the right horse
winning.
The crowd in this scene is the best
managed lot of supernumeraries that
has ever been seen in Chicago, Ind
every night the conclusion of the
scene is greeted by shouts and cheers
while the curtain has to be raised
eight or ten times to satisfyathe de-
mands of the spectators. It is truly
an inspiring sight. The vast grand
stand at Sheepshead bay alive with
moving figures fills the' background
while the lawn in front ofs1the big
stand is covered with men and women
hustling and jostling against one
another, crying out; betting their
money; shouting for theirnfavorites;
despairing over losses or triumphant
at victory. Against this, mass of
living people the players andsthose
vitality interested in the running Of
the race stand in front of the stage
and follow with their glasses the flight
of the horses as they round the circle.
Then the finish and the triumph of the
Gordon colors. It is a great sight.
The company which is playing "The
Suburban" is perhaps the best organi-
cation of the kind which has ever been
seen in me1odrama. In the cast are
J. H. Gilmour, Henry Woodruff, w. S.
Hart, William Elton, David::M. hurry,
Samuel Edwards, Louis Haines,
Kingsley Benedict, Godfrey Stein,
William Wo1cott, Jessie Izett, Fanchon
Campbell, Matte Ferguson, .aBessie
Burt and others.

WAR ON POSTERS.
Mrs K. ". Stevens of This City, Starts
Noteworthy Movement.

The Wisconsin Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is to make war on
Sunday excursions, bad 1iteratu and
posters, and Mrs. Il. V. Stevens, of
this city has the honor of being one of
the leaders of the crusade. At the
session7of the State Convention We'd
nesday morning, Mrs. Stevens made a
strong plea for better observance of
the Sabbath and condemned the Sum
day excursions in no uncertain words.
In her address she also brought a
strong fight on immoral posters which
are being SO generously displayed
about the State, aud insisted that the
w. c. T. U. be a pioneer in the war
against these Objectionable posters.
1t is probable that the crusade started
by Mrs. Stevens will be taken up by
the different branches of the Union in
all parts OF the State, and if their work
is successful the bill boards of Wiscon-
sin will be as pure as the cover page of
the Sunday School Journal. There is
certainly large field for work in fight
ing posters and it is to be hoped that
the Kenosha lady and her assistants
will meet with every success.

Manager Bennett of the Automobile
Works Will Start a Training
School For Horses.
TO LEARN THE TRAITS OF AUTOS
Many Accidents Caused by Automobiles
Frightening Horses Causes the Man
ager to Try Unique Experiment.

George M. Bennett, the e. uial sales
manager of the Ram bier Automobile
works, has come to the conclusion that
the horses of Kenosha are badly in need
of education and to this end he has de-
cided to start a school for the educa-
ton of horses. The old pillow HORSE:
and the horse which has done service
for years in the livery will alike be
eligible to this strange school.
In Chicago and other cities the
horses are educated horses and when
they see an automobile dashing down
the street at record breaking speed
they simply turn their heads and neigh
as If they were meeting with an old
friend. But in Kenosha, the prize city
of the lake shore, when horse sees
an automobile coming he starts for the
side of the road and deposits his bur-
den on the nearest c1ump of grass and
starts down the road as if a pack of
demons were after him. Others are
more considerate and limit their ex-
pressions of horror to kicking, holes in
the dash board and demo1ishing the
vehicle and rushing off to their quiet
abode to get away from the terrible
engine of traffic which is usurping
their positions.
The owners in the meantime hurry
out to the Rambler factory and tell
their tale of woe to the managers, so
that as matter of self protection it
has become necessary to start either a
repair shop or training school, and
the training school seems to be the
cheaper idea. In order to make this
school of the greatest value Manager
Bennett will play no favorites and all
horses who desire to be initiated into
the mysteries of the automobile will be
given every consideration in his
educational institution. They will be
shown all the tricks of the machine,
and will be allowed to Jump and
prance to their hearts content, and
until they come to see that the auto
mobile is simply competitor and not
an exterminator.
With this school in operation it will
be possible in few weeks for the Ke-
nosha horses to become resigned to
their lot and they will be able to pass
the auto with wave of the ear and
smile at their former fright.
This education of the horses will
probably be very interesting expert
ment, and the outcome of it will
be watched by owners Of both horses
and the motor carriages. The interest
that Mr.. Bennett is taking in the
horses of Kenosha is certainly praise
worthy one and should be appreciated.
Any one desiring to enter their horses
in this unique class can secure full in
forma ton at the Rambler plant.

SENATOR HANNA, in his argument
in favor of the choice of the Panama
route for the isthmian canal, presented
a synopsis of the testimony given by
the captains of ocean going steam
ships bearing on the use of canal
across the isthmus. Eighty-three cap
tains were questioned and all were
unanimously in favor of the Panama
route. The Senator laid particular
stress on the danger of Nicaraguan
canal being destroyed by volcanic dis
turbances, and argued that even if
this danger to canal along this route
did not exist it would seem 20 be bet
ter business proposition to build the
canal on the route favored by the sea-
faring men who were to use it.

the flag. Through the efforts of the
association Flag day, which falls this
year on Saturday, June Ia, will be very
generally COMMUNICATED throughout

The association requests that on Flag

by KenOshG Business Men.

by KenOshGL Business Men.
The members of the Kenosha Gro
GERS & Butchers Protective associa-
ton met Thursday evening at Castle
hall and the meeting was by far. the
most enjoyable one ever held by the
association. During the evening a
luncheon was served by Philip Har-
mon and the business men fingered
about the table and discussed plans for
the Improvement of business.
During the earlier part of the even
ing short program was rendered and
number of speeches were made by
well known grocers. At the business
meeting just before the banquet was
served the members of the association
decided to continue the war on dead
beats and committee was appointed
to confer with the manufacturers of
the city with view of securing their
cooperation in wedding out bad credit
ors. It was also decided that the blue
book should be published at once and
the matter of bringing out the book
was left in the hands of committee.
The book will probably be issued
within few weeks.
The session held Thursday evening
was one of the most enjoyable gather
ings of business men ever held liz Ke-
nosha and the few guests present are
high in their praise of the hospitality
of the grocers.

DURING the month of May just past,
the largest number of immigrants that
ever came to this country in single
tnonth-88, 50O7-arrived at the port of
New York. There were Is, 243 arrivals
in January, 29,519 in February, 57,175
in March and 70, 667 in April, making
the total for the first FIVE months of
the current year 267,104 Heretofore
the years of largest immigration have
been 1882, when the aggregate was
788, 1892, and 1892, when it was 623,084.
1t is not considered likely that either
of these totals will be equaled in 1902,
though it is evident that that of last
49,, 918-will be considerably
exceeded, and 1902 will rank with the
eight preceding years in which the adj
ditien to the country's population by
immigration has exceeded half a
million.
