CLEMENTS KRoNCKE DEAD
Retiring Member of School Board Died
From Apoplexy Sunday

Retifing Member of School Board Died
From Apoplexy Sunday
| Clements Kroncke, retiring Der
lot the Board of Education from the
Eighen ward and one of the best
known German residents of the city,
died at his home, 523 Milwaukee ave
nue., at 8 O'Clock Sunday morning after
short illness from apoplexy. At the
time of his death Mr.. Kroncke was in
his end year.
The death of Mr.. Kronck came as a
great surprise to his many friends in
the city. Few had known of his seri-
Gus illness. On last Friday evening
shortly after O'Clock Mr.. Kronck
suffered stoke of paralysis and he
had been unconscious since that time.
Fat midnight Saturday night a change
for the worst came and the patient
sank INTO a slumber which knew no
awakening. The final summons came
some six hours later. The surviving
widow and daughters were at the bed
side when the e1d came.
Mr.. Kroncke was universally known
about the county and his death will
cause sorrow in many homes.
The funeral will be held from the
late residence on Wednesday morning
at o'clock, latter which the remains
will be taken to Wi1mot, where another
service will be held at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon. The remains will be in
tered in the family lot at the Wilmot
cemetery.
Clements George Henry Kroncke
was born on March Is, 1912, on his
fathers estate of Achthoefen, in the
kingdom of Hanover. He was the
fourth child of Clause Kroncke, who
was one of the best known men inthis
section of Germany. The deceased
received a liberal education in his
home city and when he was twenty
nine years Of age he came with his
wife to this country and settled on a
farm in the town of Somers. He re-
NAMED in Somers until 1874, when he
purchased farm near the village of
Wilmot, which he stills owns.
MIR. Kroncke followed farming until
1895, when he retired from active labor
and removed to Kenosha to make his
home.
The deceased was leader among
the Democrats Of the county and sew.
eral times had been elected to Office by
his party. During his residence al
Wilmot he was elected as Town Treas
urer Of the town of Randall and served
as Supervisor in the town. He had
| been member of the Board of Educa.
tiop for four years and had declined to
accept the nomination for the Office for
another term.
Mr.. Kroncke was an honest, con-
scientious man and had the respect Of
the entire community. His work as a
member of the Board of Education has
been Of great value to his ward and to
the entire city and in his death the
schools of the city have lost one of
their strongest supporters.
The deceased is survived by the
widow and two daughters, Mrs. Bertha
Siedschlag and Mrs. Jorgensen, both
of Chicago.

DEMAND IS URGENT.
Death OF Herman Knowles in a Doc
tors Office Shows a New De-
mand for Hospital.
MAYOR PFENNIG SUGGESTS PLAN.
Would Form an Association to start the
Hospital and Depend on Gifts for
Building Suitable Building.

The pathetic death of Herman
Knowles. of Harvard, ILL.,, in little
back room of the Office of DR.. w. r.
Cheever yesterday afternoon, has
awakened the public conscience of Ke-
nosha to the urgent demand felt in
the city for suitable emergency hos
pital, and this morning physicians and
citizens generally are discussing pos
sible plans which may lead to the es-
| Enlistment of such an institution.
Four years ago efforts were made to
start hospital in the city, but the
plans are just as far advanced now as
they were then and no further. The
physicians practicing in the city feeling
the need more than any one else, have
started plans, but all have failed and
now Kenosna still stands waiting
for some one to provide the means to
build and maintain hospital. Some
time ago Mr.. Simmons offered to build
a hospital for the city, but this was
not done on account of the fact that
there was no society in the city to as
sist IN the maintenance Of the institu-
ton and without such a society there
is absolutely no use for the hospital
building.
All the hospitals in Christendom
would not have saved the life of Engi-
neer Knowles, but had it been possible
for him to have died in comfortable
room with the tender care of a white
robed nurse, it would have at least
been morein keeping with the common
brotherhood established by humanity.
Mayor Pfennig, as usual looking to
the welfare of the city and its people,
some time ago suggested plan to
call meeting Of the people to devise
some plan for the formation of hos
pita1 association in Kenosha. This So
ciety, when formed would devise some
! plan which would provide for the
building and maintenance of the hos
pital. It matters not if only the small
lest cottage in the city can be secured,
let it be taken and opened up as an
Emergency hospital. If two rooms
were fitted up in a down town business
building it would in a measure relieve
the crying demand.
Mayor Pfennig holds that philan-
thropists help those who help them
selves, and before the city of Ke-
nosha can expect any one to
build hospital some sort OF a
society must be formed that will pro-
vide for the future care of the institu-
ton. If such an association is formed
and gets down to work there will be
little trouble in raising funds needed
for the equipment of the rooms to be
used as a hospital. 1t has teen sug-
gested that this money be raised by
subscriptions Of public nature and
there is little doubt but that money
enough to start the venture wonld be
contributed in single week. Mayor
Pfernig's plan is splendid one and
some Of the active men and women in
the city should assume the leadership
in the matter and push it to success
full completion.

Natures Kindly Ways

There is something very motherly and sympathetic in the way that
nature works and repairs damages wrought by fire, flood, wind and
wreck or the destructive work of man. Here Is a great gravel pit a yswn-
ing chasm left as testimony to the progress of the age by a railway
company-an unsighuy, useless thing, but nature uses the winds % sweep
into the crater the fugitive debris Of the fields and the vagrant leaves
and the waters OF the summer storms, stealing from more fertile lands,
gives the sterile sand and gravel q coating Of humus and fertility and
the cottonwood fugitive seed drifting in the June breeze finds hero a
congenial resting place, and, 10, In a few years the unsighty sea has
become a pretty grove, while woodbne, clemats, blackberry and elder
bush come through aid of bird and wind to form an artistic border for
the regenerated gravel pit. Or here is a fire scar, the legacy of a forest
horror, when the very earth was calcined in the furnace of fame as 1t
passed over all vegetable life absolutely annihtated in its path; yet some
how the winds and the birds and the rains are soon at work, and here is
soon seen a little feathery pine OF quiverng aspen tip and there a deli
old charred stump and with the passing o a few years there is nothing
left to tell of the cataclysm of fame save the ghostly pillar of a black
eped and scared tree trunk here and there. Or let ma strip a hillside OF
its forest covering and, roofing the field over year after year with his
crops Of cotton and grain and taking from its soil its last yesdge II fer
fifty, abandon It, How quickly will nature make the effort % repair the
damage! First, grasses o flowers, then trees, then restoraton-no
place so high o low Or hidden or exposed, made unlovey and unpro-
ductve by element strife or mans rapaciy, but some form OF life Will
nature find with which to repair the damage and tenderly cover the
scar.

been bumped in the middle like the
back Of a lean, acorn-hunting hog, was

was enclosed with a neat fence; and
the stack chimney which had leaned
off from the house as if il would fall,
was showed back and held in place

The Language Of Fowls.

The boys and girls will find it interesting to watch the fowls in the
yard and study their queer and most significant language. There is the
early morning call of the rooster-a sort of signal service between sepa-
rated homesteads, answered back and forth by rival heads of harems,
which may be interpreted TO mean that "aIs well at or house, Then
there is the ROSTERS call Of defiance to his rival just over in the next
yard, and his victorious crow from the top Of the fence post when he has
whipped the other rooster to a finish. Then there is his cultural invita-
ton to the hens when sometimes he has a tdbt for the first on hand
and quite often not, the hens responding promptly to the call notwith-
standing the unreliable character of the invitation. Then there is the
hens cackle when she has laid a nice, fresh egg, her monotonous
"cluck" when she is incubating, her protesting notes when meddled with
when so engaged, her motherly grooming to the little ones is they push
Il D under her protecting wings, her CHEEKY call to the chicks when she
has found a succulent and tender grub for them, and, perhaps most strik-
ing of all, her note of warning as some predatory hawk is cen far up
in the air., when every chick runs for cover even the first time it hears
It.

use of keeping the cow When a lady
takes boarders she takes them not for
their Christian example or for their So

We know some men who keep Them
selves poor just moving around, an
uneasy, disconnected, dissatisfied lot,
always thinking they can be made
easier, where they will find better
neighbors and enjoy life better. Where
the move involves the disposal OF a
farm and It's belongings and the usual
loss of a crop year it will cost $1,000
or more to move. 1t often happens
that this much money put into i'm
provements and betterments AT the old
place would make it just the place
they want. It is a good thing that
things are so fixed that a man can
make just about as much money In
bne place as another.
