The four quarterly dividends of the

The four quarterly dividends of the
corporation this year are as follows:
March, 20 per cent: June, per cent;
September, per cent: November. Il
per cent In the first quarter Of l90Z,
20 per cent. was declared; secand quar-
ter, 10 per cent; third quarter, per
cent, and last quarter. 10 per cent.
The increase in the dividend during the
current quarter is due to larger earn
ings. resulting from a sharp advance
in the price of oil. According to an
official of the Standard Oil. the cor
poration carries no surplus, giving
the benefit of all earnings to the stock
holders.
The Standard Oil company is now
disbursing more money to stockholders
than any other corporation in the
world. The United States Steel Cor
poration held first place as dividend
payer previous to the reduction IN
the common dividend and the CONVEX
sion of preferred stock into bonds.

The city council will meet in regu-

that the matter of securing a site for

taken up. Several good sites have
been proposed and it is now up to the

Another important matter that will

the subject with the council. The diff

will be discussed and an effort made
to adopt some scheme for either paw

a wide difference of opinion among the
business men and taxpayers as to the
proper method to adopt. Some are in
favor of paving Main from the w. &

Alder from First to Fifth. Others
deem that this would be expensive and
would be too much of Il burden on

also been suggested that in case that

THIS Senatorial district made no
mistake when it sent level-headed
business man to represent it IN the
| Legislature, and the Madison State
Journal, which has every opportunity
to Judge of the value of the services of
the mem bers not only to their dist
riots but to the State, evidently wishes
that other districts would follow the
example set by the Third. The Jour
nal says:
"The Racine-Kenosha district, ow-
| ing to its large manufacturing and
agricultural interests. owes it to itself
to be represented in the Senate by
ability and leadership, and in Hon.
10. w. Johnson is made notably
strong selection. He was one of the
two men assigned to the all-important
committee on taxation, and here, as on
the Committee of Manufacturers and
Labor and as chairman of the Legisla-
tive Expenses Committee, Mr.. john
sons executive quality and fearless,
independent mind made him valuable.
If every district was wise enough to
send up men to Madison who are able
to do their OWE thinking, the work Of
law-making would be better done"

CORPSE FAILS TO APPEAR.
Body Thought to Have Been the Remains
of John O'Hare Fails to Appear Again.

Body Thought to Have Been the Remains
of John O'Hare Falls to Appear Again.
The mystery connected with the
disappearance of John O'Hare on last
Saturday is as deep as ever and the
officers are still completely at sea in
the search for the man. Yesterday
friends of O'Hare went to Berrvvi11e
to look into the story of the floater
which was seen in the lake on Sunday
evening, but the corpse had not come
to the surface again, and nothing that
would indicate its position could be
learned. It is supposed that the corpse
was carried out to the mid lake by the
wind. It will probabl be several weeks
before It appears in the surf again.
In the meantime the friends of
O'Hare seem to think that it is posi-
BILE that he has wandered away and the
search for him is being carried to other
cities. The members of the family are
decidedly anxious over the matter. and
Mrs. O'Hare is suffering considerably
from the shock of the incident.

Purchase the Allen Homestead, on,
South Chicago Street.
NEW EPOCH IN LODGES HISTORY.
Members of the Lodge will Probably Take
Possession of Their New Club Home.
Before the Close of the Summer

The various Masonic bodies, of Ke-
| nosha are to have new home and in
few months more the old lodge rooms
on Main street, which have been used
so long that they have been a tradition
in Masonry in southern Wisconsin.
will be abandoned and the Masous will
take decided forward step by moving
into handsome club home.
This change was>arranged for at the
meeting of Kenosha Lodge No. AZ F.
& A. NJ, Monday evening when the
lodge agreed to purchase tle,sAllen
homestead at the corner ofsSouth and
South Chicago streets. The lodge ex-
poets to secure possessionSof..the prop
erty before the close of the summer
now opening. Before the members of
, the lodge take possession of the prop
erty as lodge home, the house will
be remodeled and made more Esuitable
for Masonic Home. The price paid
for the property was sixty.five hundred
dollars, and it is probable that $4,000
more will be expended in making the
repairs deemed necessary.
The purchase of the home marks the
realization of long cherished dream of
the Masons of Kenosha, and when
they have removed to the Allen home
stead the Kenosha lodge will have the
finest Masonic home in southern Wis.
consin. The old hall had become an
eye sore to many of the members of
the lodge and had retarded the pro-
gress of the order in Kenosha.
Weeks ago the member began to
plan for the purchase of new home,
and ten days ago an option was taken
on the Allen property. The site is
ideally situated in the very center of
the city. The house, while an old one,
is one of the best built in Kenosha. 1t
was formerly the home Of Nathan R
Allen, who founded the N. R. Aliens
Sons tannery. The Masons are PLAN
ming to leave the lower story of the
house just as it is today, and the large
comforta bis rooms will be used for re-
ception rooms. It is possible that
bowling alleys will be placed in the
basement of the building, and rooms
for amusenents of different kinds will
be arranged on the first floor.
The second floor will be so changed
as to convert it into regular Masonic
lodge hall. It is possible that later on
third story may be added, if the
growth of the chapter demands it.
Much of the money for the purchase of
the property has already been raised,
and it is thought that the subscrip-
tons now being taken will provide for
the entire payment. In taking the
house the Masons have set a new mark
for Fraternal societies In Kenosha,
and this new home will give them the
lead.
The lodge that will occupy the new
home is composed of hundred and
twenty of the Representative citizens
of the city. The Masons are, Of course,
the oldest society in the city, the Ke-
nosha chapter being one of the first
lodges ia Wisconsin.
With the move to a Club house the
members of the order will make an eff
fort to secure a commandery of the
knight Templars for Kenosha. There
are many Knights in the city but at
present they are members of the Ra-
cine Commandery.

TIE longest session of the Legisla
ture ia the history of the State closed
Saturday, and the business interests
of the State will have time to draw
long breath of relief before the next
campaign opens. Two thirds of the
time OF the session was taken upiwith
wraugling between the factions, and
the men sent to Madison to transact
the business of the State spent so much
time sparring for political advantage
that the Legislature only got down to
of the session. The ad valorem rail
road taxation bill, which provides for
the taxation of railroad property as
other property is taxed, was probably
the most important measure (which
passed at this session. The State Tax
Commission is to sit as a Board of AS
Gessment for railroad property, and
ample power and sufficient time is
given it under the law to fix a fair and
just valuation upon the property of the
railroads in the State. The Commits
sion has gigantic task before it, but
if 1t succeeds il making any settle
meat of the vexed question of rail
road taxation it will take out of Wis
cousin politics an issue which for a
time threatened to put Wisconsin into
the corporate batting class of States.
lit may make the demagogues little
short of campaign ammunition in flu
eure campaigns, but the State will
profit thereby, and the people who are
getting little tired of wild appeals to
prejudice instead of arguments on
facts can stand it. The Primary Elec.
&iou question is to be referred to the
voters at the general election in 1904.
The voters would have been better
able to pass judgment upon the merits
of the law if the Senate amendment
had been concurred in and they had
been given an opportunity for an &C
6ual practical test of the1aw as applied
60 the nomination of minor officers.
A new banking law was also passed,
8argerly through the efforts of State
Bank Examiner Bergh, which it is
hoped will protect the public from ir-
responsible State and private bank
speculations. The safe, substantial
State and private banking interests of
the State favor the bill, and if the law
had been in force year ago Kenosha
would have been spared some recent
unpleasant experiences. About FIVE
hundred minor bills and amendments
Ito the statutes were passed All the
work accomplished might have been
done in half the time, and much
Srouble and expense to the State saved,
