General Wallace and Mr.. and Mrs Henry
Wallace and their children had a box at the
performance of "Ben-Hur' at English's
yesterday afternoon. 1t was an extra per-

at the regular performances. The author
of the novel on which the spectacular play
is based was not at all conspicuous, and If
his presence was noted by any part of the
audience there was no demonstration Gen

'Ben-Hur" in many cities, and OF course
attended the premier in New York He was
not present al the presentation Of the play
in London, which was more elaborate even
than that in this country.

NAVIGATION OF THE FOX.
Illinois Association Secures Consent OF
Congress to Dam the Fox River.

There is another enterprise on foot
interest to our citizens, as we'll as
farmers who own land along the river,
south of the Wi1mot dam.
The McHenry Plaindealer is author
ity for the statement that permission
has been given by Congress to the Fox
River Naviga bic Waterway Associa-
ton, to construct a dam across Fox
river near the bridge at McHenry. A
dam was put in the river at the same
spot some years ago without permits
sion, and was yanked out by interest
ed farmers also without permission.
With due appreciation of the deli
cate sensitiveness of the situation, the
Plaindea1er man handles the subject
with his hands encased in felt lined
gloves, and intimates that the dam
will be built with sluice gates so the
water may be regulated during spring
freshets. The owner of the average
river bottom likes to have it flooded in
the spring, but it is IN the summer at
haying time that he wants all the
drainage possible. The dam is to be
built to raise the water high enough to
float steamers between McHenry and
the river lakes to the north. A year S
experience of higher water will DEM
onstrate whether the advantage is
equal to the detriment.
If the water in the river was raised
high enough for navigation, it would
admit of a line of boats between
McHenry and Wilmot and open up a
long tract of eligible sites for summer
residences and many favorable 1oca-
tions.-Wi1mot Agitator.

WANT MORE MONEY.
Quarles and Cooper Will ASK for Addition
al Money for Racine Harbor.

Senator Quar1es and Representative
Cooper are now engaged in endeavor-
ing to secure additional appropriations
for Kenosha and Racine Harbors. II
think we will secure at least $4,000 adj
ditiona1 for each of these projects, !"
said Senator Quarles: cit is absolute
ly necessary that some action should
be taken by the government to over
come the difficulty which has appeared
since the piers in these harbors have
been completed. A strong current,
which renders navigation very unsafe
flows directly across these piers when
northeastern storm stirs up the lake.
We are going to ask for $4,000 addi-
tional for each of these harbors, and l
have every reason to believe that the
Senate will accede to our appeal for
$4,000 additional to be equally dis
tributed between the work at Ahnapee,
Oconoto and Port Washington.

Danish Envoy Who Alleges Bribery
Made His First Appearance in
Kenosha Years Ago.
A FAILURE AS A POLITICIAN.
Came to Kenosha in 1892 to Speak for Re-
publican Committee But Failed and
Was Discharged From Service.

1t may be of passing interest to the
people of Kenosha to know that Neils
Cron made his political debut in the
United States at Kenosha. Cron is
now in Washington making an effort
to convince the President and certain
members of Congress that there was
some crooked work in connection with
the sale of the Danish West Indies to
this country. Of course the matter is
being investigated and it has been
claimed that the sensational accusa-
tons of Cron are wholly without foun-
datior.
AT the time Cron made his first APP
pearance in Kenosha he had just come
to this country from Denmark, pre-
sumably on diplomatic service. He
was rather popular with some of the
Republican politicians in Washington
and as the race between Harrison and
Cleveland for Presidential honors was
a rather exciting one, Cron vo1un-
teered his services to the Republicans.
He Informed the members of the Ma
tiona1 committee that he was brilliant
orator and on this statement they ac-
copied him as ''spe11 binder" to work
on the Danes of the country. Cron
was given new red necktie and a va
1ise load of speeches and sent to Chi
cago.
The State committee of Illinois de-
cided that they could worry along
without the assistance of the dis
tinguished Danish visitor and as Ke-
nosha was the next stop, the Wiscon-
sin committee was notified that Cron
was in their clutches and that he could
spe11bind the Danes of the State in a
great manner. His first and last APP
pointment was at Kenosha. He made
a portion of one speech ard it was too
much for even the Danes of Kenosha
to stand for. Cron was booked to speak
at Racine the following evening, but
when the committee learned of the
Brilliant success he had made in Ke-
nosha he was notified to return to Chi
cago. He left Kenosha a day later
and this was the close of his career as
political speaker for the Republican
party.
It is barely possible that Cron may
secure from the Danish government
or from the representatives of this
government the $4,000 he claims,
but if he does he will have to make a
better speel than he made at the time
of his first and last campa ign speech
| in Kenosha.

SOmers Town Board Has Laid the
Axe at the Root of the Saloon
Evil in That Town.
CLAIM CENTRAL PARK is DEFIANT
Manager Peter Steinbach Announces THAI
His Place Will Not Be Effected by the
Blue Laws Passed on Tuesday.

The saloon men in the town of
Somers have fight on their hands for
at the town election held on last Tues
day the voters, by decisive majority,
decided that the town would no longer
issue licenses to saloons. The man
ayers of the two saloons, Peter Stein
bach, of Central Park, and John
Lauer, who opened saloon in Somers
village on Monday, were at work at
the polls during the day, but notwith-
standing this work the vote was
against the saloon and it is claimed
that the men elected are of the nature
to enforce the law and that the town
will be clear Of grog shops after the
first day of next July when the Ii
censes now issued will expire. The
saloon men are defiant and will proba-
bly, make an effort to fight the will of
the people.
That there will be hot fight cannot
be doubted. The men who have been
placed in Office as justices and consta-
b1es are all opposed to the saloon and
it looks at the onset of the fight as If
the people who oppose the saloons
| would have an easy victory.
The hard blow will fall upon Peter
Steinbach if the law is enforced. Mr..
Steinbach was in the city Wednesday
night and in speaking of the matter
he stated that Central park would not
be closed and that the passing of the
law was not for the purpose of clos
ing the park but for the purpose of
closing the saloon which has just been
opened in the village. Influential
politicians from the town don't seem
to take this view of the matter and
claim that the law will result in the
closing of Central park as we'll as the
Somers saloon.
The Sch1itz Brewing company and
Mr.. Steinbach have a large invest
ment at the park and it is probable
that they will make the fight of their
lives to keep the park open as in other
years and the manager has already an
nounced that the park will be opened
for lease for picnics and all sorts of
gatherings and that all privileges
granted in the past will be allowed
during the present season. Notwith-
standing the attitude of the people of
the town Mr.. Stein bach states that
beer will continue to be sold at the
park and that the bowling alleys and
dancing pavilion will be operated as
during the year just passed.
The saloon license in Somers. is four
hundred dollars year and this is the
first year that two people have paid
the license. The people of the village
of Somers have always opposed the
opening of saloon in the village and
for this reason it is thought that the
fight will be all the more bitter.
The application for licenses for next
year will be filed in a few weeks and
at that time the fight will be on in
earnest,

KENOSHA GAINS VOTE.
County Will Have One More Delegate in the
State Republican conventioa.

State Republican Conventioa
The Republican State convention of
1896 fixed the basis of representa- ton
as follows:
"Resolved, that the basis of repre-
sentation to Republican State conven-
tons shall be one delegate for each $50
Republican votes cast at the last pre-
ceeding presidential election, and one
for each ma jor fraction thereof; and
that in counties having more than one
assembly district, the unit basis shall
be the assembly district; that in all
other cases the county shall be the
unit, exceptin Milwaukee county.
Resolved, that hereafter all State
conventions shall be called on a notice
of not less than eight weeks. All
county conventions shall be called on
notice of not less than eight weeks.
All county conventions to elect dele
gates to State conventions, on a notice
of not less than four weeks. All town
or ward caucuses as primaries to a
State convention, on a notice of not
the meeting of such conventions or
caucuses shall be given in the usual
manner"
Will Include 1,o59 Delegates.
This rule, adopted by the convention
Of 1894, fixing the representation upon
the presidential vote, has governed the
selection of delegates in every state
convention held since. The unit of
repres entation is the assembly district,
except in Milwaukee county. In all
other districts the county is the unit !.
The provision that eight weeks notice
must be given prior to the holding Of
a state convention was followed by the
| Repub1ica state central committee in
calling the conventions of 1896, 1898
and 1900. The convention of 1900 was
composed of 1867 delegates and under
the resolutions adopted in 1894 the
next state convention will number
l ,059 delegates. This is loss of eight
delegates in the membership of the
convent ton since 1900, and shows that
the total Republican vote was less in
1900 than it was in 1896.
Upon this basis the representation
for several congressional districts will
be entitled to delegates in the next
Republican State conventions as fol-
lows:
First district, 112 delegates; Second,
81; Third, 1O3; Fifth, 159; Sixth, 83;
Seventh, los; Eighth, 100; Ninth, "a;
Tenth, 100; Eleventh, 116. Total 1859.
At a meeting of the Republican
State Central committee, held on Aug
ust 7, 1894, the committee recommended
that the basis of representation in all
conventions should be the Republican
vote cast in each precinct at the last
gubernatoria1 election. This recon-
mendation has never been voted upon,
and as result the votes cast at the
presidential election will govern as the
basis Of representation.
Kenosha county gains in the new ap-
portionment and will be entitled to
twelve delegates. Racine gains one,
having twentythree in 1900 and will
have in 1902 twenty -four.
