THE battle for the delegates to the
County Convention was fought out
yesterday at the Republican Caucuses
throughout the county, and as was ex-
pected Kenosha county will send a
solid anti-LaFollette delegation to the
State Convention as a result of the
fight. The followers of the Governor
exerted themselves to the utmost and
put forth every effort to secure dele
gates and the result, is great disap-
poiutment to them. The fight as a
whole was much cleaner than in some
of the other counties where contests
have been made. The Democrats as a
rule held a1oof, and although it is
claimed that several of them voted in
some of the wards of the city, the
LaFollette workers were unable to get
enough of them out to materially affect
the result. It will take long time
for the bitterness engendered by the
contest to die out, and it is to be hoped
that no attempt will be made to carry
the State fight into county and city
politics.

GOES INTO THE ARMY.
Walter Cavanagh, of This City, Joins the
Army and Will go to Philippines

Walter Cavanagh, of This City, Joins the
Army and Will go to Philippines.
Quite little surprise has been oc-
casioned in this city by the announce
ment that Walter Cavanagh, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cavanagh, has re-
signed his position with the Illinois
Steel company in Chicago, and has
Joined the regular army. Mr.. Cav
anagh is now at San Francisco and
will leave in about thirty days for the
Philippines with the regulars who are
now in San Francisco awaiting orders.
The Kenosha boy enters the service
as private, and should make brill
liant record in the army. He is going
but it is thought that after he reaches
the Island he will receive high place
in either the civil or diplomatic service.
Walter Cavanagh is one of the best
known of the young men in Kenosha.
He graduated from the University
school and was educated at the Uni.
versity of Chicago. During his course
at the University he was member of
the Chicago Foot Ball team and his
name will go down to posterity as the
greatest center rush Chicago ever de-
veloped. After leaving College he
was for two years one of the Superin-
tendents of the Latin & Rand Powder
Works at Pleasant Prairie which po-
sition he resigned to accept a very
lucrative position with the Chicago
company. Mr.. Cavanagh carries with
him the best wishes of large mum Der
of Kenosha friends.

"A GOOD EXAMPLE.

We went to those old people with
all u troubles. They were per-
petual evangelists; by their soothing
words, by their hopefulness of spirit
an inexpressible help. l cannot see
how Heaven could make them any
lovelier than they are, or were. But
there are exceptions. There is a
daughter in that family whose father
is impatient and the mother queru-
lous. The passage of many years does
not always improve the disposition,
and there are a great many disagree
able old folks. Some of them forget
that they were ever young them
selves, and they become untidy in
their habits, and wonder how, when

on as they do. The daughter in that
family bears all their peevishness and
unreasonable behavior without an
swering back Or making any kind of
complaint. If you ask her what her
five talents are, or her one talent is,
she would answer that she has no
talent at all. Greatly mistaken is
she. Her one talent is to for
bear and treat the childishness
of the old, as well as the
childishness of the young. She
is no musician, and besides there
may not be a piano in the house; she
cannot skillfully swing a croquet
mallet or golf stick; indeed, she
seems shut up to see what she can
do with a ladle and a broom and a
brush and other household imple-
ments.

PIONEERS HAVE DRY TIME.
Drought Affects Rivers of Lake
Region Long Before White
Settlers Come.

ut is well known" said William c..
News, that in its early settlement
Indiana was subjected to extremes
of heat and cold, though possibly not
to the same extent as now, and that
droughts of considerable severity
sometimes occurred, though not with
the frequency of recent years. There
is IN authentic reference to a
drought of great severity which af-
fected part of the region surround
ing the great lakes and a part of the
Ohio valley long before the advent
of the white settler. 1t occurred in
the summer and autumn of 1894, Just
after the close of the French and In
dian war, and while the war with
the Indian tribes, under the leader
ship of Chief Pontiac, was in prog
ress. The drought affected especial
ly the Maumee and Sandusky rivers
flowing into Lake Erie, and the head
waters of the Scioto, Great Miami
and Wabash.
Francis Parkman, the historian,
lCihbNo tHdb Wltn a HGSSCHRGT was
SEN by the British commander at
Detroit, then recently wrested from
the French, to communicate with
Pontiac, encamped on the Maumee a
short distance below where Fort
Wayne is now situated, the waters of
the Maumee river were so low by
reason of extreme drought hat the
British messenger and his attendants
were compelled to drag their canoes
over rocks and sandbars a good part
of the distance from the mouth of
the Maumee, near the present site of
Toledo, to the headwaters of the
stream near Fort Wayne. He also
states that the same autumn a de-
tachment of British soldiers could
not ascend the Sandusky river in
canoes by reason of great drought
and low water when they eontempla-
ted subduing the hostile Shawnees
in the Scioto valley. Here is a record
of widespread drought, while the for
est and prairie were yet primeval and
before the coming of the white set

makers, the ak and the drain tile"
