have it.''

II has been suggested by some of our
leading citizens that a park commits
sion be created to have entire charge
of all the parks and public grounds
Of the city. If such commission
could be made strictly non-partisan
body and the men to serve on it Sc
lected solely for their qualifications for
the position the idea might be good
one. While all the parks of the city
would be controlled by the commission
Library park would be its chief care.
Even since the library was built Mr..
Simmons has paid for all the improve
ments made in Library park. BY con-
slant care and the expenditure Of a
large amount of money he has made it
one of the most beautiful spots Of
which this or any other city in the
state can boast. He has done this as
part of his great gift to Kenosha and
it is doubtful if many of the people Of
the city know that all the expenses of
keeping up the park have been paid by
him and that since the library was
built the care and maintenance of the
park has cost the taxpayers absolutely
nothing. Nobody knows how long Mr..
Simmons will continue to care for this
park but it is reasonable to suppose
-e44
to take charge and the men who are
advocating the creation of park COM
mission are evidently of the opinion
that it is time that something was
done to make certain that the park will
be we'll cared for in the future. If
anybody has better plan than park
commission to suggest now is the time
to bring it forward.

AIDES NEW PLAY.
County Chairman" to Be Produced at the
Studebaker In Chicago Next Week.

County Chairman" to Be Produced at the
studebaker in Chicago Next Week.
AS was predicted when the Prince
Of Pilsen" began a four weeks en-
gagement at the Studebaker theatre,
this universally popular Pix1ey &
Luders musical comedy has broken its
own records of year ago when it es-
tablished new standard for receipts
at this amusement place. The past
week was one of the largest in the
history Of the house. A new Hans Wag-
ner made his appearance in the cast
Monday night. He is Jess Dandy,
long famous as a clever vaudeville
entertainer and he has a unique per-
sonality that fits we'll the German
brewer role in this piece. The en-
gagement terminates Saturday night,
August %, and the succeeding. Eattrac-
ton at the Studebaker will be George
AIDES new comedy drama, "The Coun-
ty Chairman" which will be produced
for the first time on any stage Monday
evening, August.31. A great deal of
public interest centers in this piece for
it is Mr.. AIDES first contribution to
the field of straight comedy. His two
comic opera sLibretti, 1.-THE Sultan of
Sulu" and Peggy from Paris have
been sufficiently original to warrant
the belief that with the full sweep of
dramatic interest at his command Mr..
AIDE will turn out something especially
noteworthy. Henry w. Savage under
whose management this production is
to be made, has supplied strong cast,
headed by Maclyn Arbuckle and in
Guiding Willis P. Sweatnam, the well
known minstrel. The story Of the
.sCounty Chairman" is based upon a
rural political contest insIthe middle
west and is strongly impregnated
with heart interest.

Marriage Which Occurred in Kenosha
Ten Years Ago Made Public in
Chicago in Peculiar Way. i
HUSBAND THOUGHT TO BE DEAD
Marriage of G. Z. Smith and Miss Anna
Lindsey. Chicago School Teacher,
Furnished an Amount OF Romance.

Ten years ago, in the Office Of John
Slater in this city, occurred the mar
riage of Miss Anna Lindsey and Wal
ter G. Smith, both of Chicago, and the
wedding was Of such romantic ma
ture that the friends Of the couple
never learned of the ceremony until
Thursday, when the reported death Of
the husband revealed the existence Of
the wife.
Miss Anna Lindsey was a pretty
Chicago school teacher and Smith was
widower. He had long paid court to
Miss Lindsey, but she had declined to
marry him on account Of the fact that
the death Of her mother hadAtleft six
sisters and brothers dependent upon
her. On September 10th, ten years
ago, Miss Lindsey and Smith came to
Kenosha on a pleasure trip. While
the two were in the city Smith again
urged the lady to marry him, but she
refused to give up the support Of the
relatives dependent upon her. { Finally
she yielded to his entreaties, but in
StSlCQ kAdk III IAC sWOA0An& @sAOAs R1dOC
| it should be kept a secret until all the
children were Of an age to support
themselves. This agreement was
made by the husband and the wedding
followed.
For ten years Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
kept their secret and the announce
ment of the wedding came in Pc
culiar manner. A month ago Mr..
Smith left Chicago on business trip,
and nothing had been heard of him I'M
til Thursday, when the remains Of a
man, supposed to be Smith, were found
on a lonely island near Rochester,
Ind. News of the finding of the body
was at once carried to sthe supposed
Miss Lindsey, and when the officers
announced to her that her friend was
dead she tainted and when she revived
| she announced to. them that he was
more than friend, as he had been her
husband for more than ten years..
The statement was strange one,
but when the friends of Smith search
ed among the papers whichS he had
left in his Office marriage certificate,
| signed by the Kenosha official, was
! found.
Further investigation sof the case
shows that the body found at Roches-
ter was not the body Of the husband,
and it is possible that he is still living.
Mrs. Smith is still working as teach
Ier, and although she deeply loves her
husband, she says that her mission
was not fulfilled and that she would not
have announced the wedding had it
not been for the peculiar circum-
stances of the finding of the body.
The property of Smith has been
taken in charge by the Royal Trust
Company, and it will be turned over to
Mrs. Smith as soon as the facts con
nected with the marriage are fully es-
tablished by the records Of this county.

LAY OUT MANY ROUTES.
Government officials in Kenosha to Give
County Perfect Rural Delivery System.


Rural Delivery Inspector Fox, of
Washington, was in Kenosha on Fri
day, and with the aid of Postmaster
Charles Frantz. completed the work of
organizing the rural free rail deliv-
cry for Kenosha county. The system
will be complete in every detail and
after this arrangement has been APP
proved it will be no longer necessary
for farmers to secure their mail
through the Kenosha Office. On this
account it will be possible for aIarge
number of the boxes to be removed
from tne Offices and little more room
will be left for the work of the clerks.
There will be three full routes and one
short route out of Kenosha. The first
Of these routes has already been laid
out, and the other two will be to in
clude Somers and Pleasant Prairie.
The arrangement leaves yet a small
strip of territory not covered, and this
will be made into short route.
Added to the four routes out of Ke-
nosha, Inspector Fox laid out one
route out Of the town Of Somers, one
route out of Burlington to serve the
people of New Munster and the towns
of Wheatland and Brighton, one route
out of Union Grove which will furnish
the service to the people of the town
of Paris. These routes with the two
routes now established in the town of
Bristol, the two in the town of Salem
and one in the town of Randall will
give the free delivery to every farmer
in the county
Inspector Fox will return to Keno
sha county to complete his maps in
about three weeks, and after that time
his report will be Immediately for
warded to Washington for the guild
ance of the department. AS soon as
the work in this county is completed
the department will begin to lay out
routes in Racine county. Kenosha
will probably be the first county in the
state in which free delivery is provid-
ed for every farm house, but it is the
plan of the department to carry this
service to all the counties Of the state.
Congress sman Cooper insisted that the
work of organizing the state begin
with Kenosha county and his request
was granted by the Postmaster Gen
eral.
1t is expected that all the routes will
be opened by the first of next Feb
ruary.

Clerk MaIoney Makes Annual Report
in Regard to Naturalization OF
Foreigners in County.
ITALIANS LEAD IN FIRST PAPERS.
Few of the Sons of Sunny Italy. However
Ever Become Full Citizens of Repub-
lic.-More Binding Oaths Exacted.

Clerk Of the Circuit Court John B.
Maloney forwarded to the department
of Justice this morning his annual re-
port Of the naturalization Of citizens
during the year just passed and the re-
port shows many interesting facts in
regard to the foreign born citizens in
Kenosha.
This is one of the few counties in
the country where no citizens have
been naturalized without being forced
to take the oath that they are not anar-
chists and are not associated with any
society which is against governments.
AT the time Of the passage of the law
last June Clerk Maloney at once added
the oath to the papers for citizenship
and as result the few foreigners nat
uralized since that time have taken all
the oaths necessary to secure citizen
ship. In many places this oath was
not given and as result the people
received will have to go through the
formalities again in order to allow
their names to be inscribed on the list
American citizens.
During the year sixteen people have
been received in this county as citizens
and forr Of this number have brought
first papers from other counties or
states. The records show that the
clerk has refused to issue papers to
eight applicants on account of the fact
that they we're not able to fulfill the
conditions Of citizenship.
The naturalization books for Keno
sha county were opened in 1892 and
since that time 3,448 first papers have
been issued. OF this number 1856 we're
issued during the year 1902. An ex-
animation of the records show that the
clerk has two busy seasons each year,
one at the time of the fall election ard
the other at the time of the city cleo
ton. Less than half dozen papers
were issued last year between these
two times. Less than five per cent. of
the people who took out first papers
ever became citizens and this fact
shows that most of the first papers are
issued for the sole purpose of securing
the voting privilege for foreigners.
The records show that the largest per
cent of people completing naturaliza-
ton in Kenosha county are Germans
with the Danes in second place. First
papers are isused to many Italians and
this nationality is exceedingly preva-
lent on the first paper book. Few Of
them ever complete the work of natur-
alization and it seems evident that
they seek only to secure the franchise
for the different elections.
No cases of fraud in naturalization
have been reported to the clerk of the
court during the past year and few, il
any, of the naturalized citizens have
been accused of making false afida'
Wits.
In the future the clerk will keep d
closer tab on the men seeking to be ad
mitted to citizenship and more exact.
ling promises will be demanded from
them. The rate of naturalization fol-
the present year shows slight ad
vance over the rate for last year.

To Congressman Cooper belongs the
credit for securing complete rural
free delivery system for Kenosha
county but it will depend upon the
people of the county themselves
whether or no the system can be sue
cessfully operated. twill all depend
on the condition Of the roads. If the
highways of the county are so i'm
proved that the cost of maintaining
the free delivery system over them is
not greatly IN access of the average
cost on all routes then the system is
here to stay, but the government can
not reasonably be expected to deliver
mail over roads that are practically i'm
passable at certain seasons of the
