I'VE, who are soon to be citizens of

Well Known Pioneer Resident OF the
North Side Expired Suddenly at
His Home.
PIONEER IANITOR OF THE CITY
Was Known to Nearly Every Child OH the
Connection with City Schools.
(From Saturdays Daily. }

Emil Senne, one of the oldest and
best known of the German pioneer
residents of Kenosha, died at bis home
at PIP Lake avenue shortly after eight
O'Clock this morning. Death came
suddenly. Mr.. Senne had been i'll for
many months but he was able to be
about the house Friday and it was not
thought that the end was near. Death
resulted from Hodgin's disease COM
plicated with heart failure.
The death of Emil Senne marks
the passing of one of the best known
men on the North side. He was &C
lively connected with the wagon max
ing industry in Kenosha in the early
days, being one of the employees of the
late Edward Balm during the earlier
pears of the Balm company. He re
manned with the company for more
than thirty years.
The deceased was known to almost
every child on the North side on ac-
count of his long service as janitor of
the North side school. For more than
a decade he was in charge of the differ
ent buildings on the North side and he
became great favorite with the chill
dren and with the patrons of the
schools. He was forced to give up his
position as janitor at the close of the
last school year on account Of failing
health and strength.
Christian Emil Senne was native
of Saxony and was born Jan. Il, 1881.
He came to Kenosha in 1850 after a
short residence at Hartford, Wis, and
since that time he has been resident
of the city. With the breaking out of
the civil war Mr.. Senne enlisted as a
member of Company D, of the thirty
fourth volunteer infantry and served
to the close of the war. He was one
of the Wisconsin soldiers who were
present at many of the late battles of
the war and took part IN the siege of
Vicksburg. After the war was over
Mr.. Senne was one of the men who
acted as the charter members of the
Fred S. Lowell post of the Grand Army
and he has always been one of the
most enthusiastic and active members
of the post. He was also member of
the local lodge of Odd Fellows and was
one of the oldest mem bers of the order
in the state.
Four children survive as follows:
Frank Senne, William Senne, Mrs.
Fred Balow and Mrs. George Heinz
man, all residents of Kenosha.

NEW INDUSTRIES.
An Enterprise That Requires Very
Little Capital.

Little Capital.
Every town and village should di-
versify It's industries so far as it lies
in it's power, so when one fails disaster
may not overtake the entire -commu-
nifty. During stress of hard times and
general depression the towns having
diversified industries have suffered
least. There is not town or village
in the country that cannot make a
break" in some direction If it's business
men and progressive men will get to-
gether to start a new enterprise of
some description, if only to utilize the
waste resources Of the locality or to
supply the demand for some products
now purchased abroad.
In regard to this matter If a prac-
teal suggestion is wanted for an enter
prise that will not cost much to begin
with, that will not require extensive
supervision, that will admit of in
definite enlargement If successful and
in which a number Of people can take
an active interest, canning factory
will meet all these requirements where
there is no such factory already The
manager Of a successful canning fac
tory in an Illinois town recently gave
the following information on the sub

REVIVE OLD PROJECT.
Chicago Men Seek to see che Completion of

Chicago Men Seek to see the Completion of
the Drive from Waukegan to Kenosha.i
The old question of completing the
Sheridan drive between Kenosha and
Waukegan, is again being agitated by
Chicago men owning property be-
tween the two cities and a paragraph
in Chicago paper states that steps
are being taken for the organizati ton
of an association to secure the COM
pletion of the drive. kOnly a few
months ago H. S. VanIngen Of this
city announced that steps were being
taken to have the drive completed with
private funds but nothing ever came
of this move and it seems that it has
been dropped.
If the line is to be completed it is
evident that it must be built and MAIN
tanned by private parties as the people
residing in the western part of this
and Lake County, ILL.,, would never
allow the cost of building or MAIN
tenance to be saddled unto the two
counties.
It is estimated that the road could
be completed between the two cities
for about seventy thousand dollars
and it is claimed that the value Of the
property on the drive would be enhanc-
ed more than double this amount.
The bill which was introduced at the
last meeting of the state legislature to
have the road built by the state was
liiled IN the committee room.

THE RAIN CANE IN torrents
SOUTH CAROLINA TOWN SuF.
FERED GREAT LOSS.
Score Of People Drowned at Clifton
All the Railway Bridges Are Gone
Cotton Mills Suffer the Most-Loss
Will be Over a Million and a Hail.
No Wind or Lightning.

Spartanburg, s. c., June S.-A tor.
rental rainstorm visited this region
resulting in general devastation and
destruction of life and property. All
the bridges and trestles on the main
line of the Southern railway were
washed away. The greatest destruc.
ton of life and property occurred at
the Pacolet & clifton and Glendale
cotton mills. Wires are down and re-
ports conflicting, but it seems certain
that 25 or 30 persons were drowned,
mostly mill operatives.
The heaviest property loss was at
the illfated Pacolet mills, where Presi-
dent Victor Montgomery estimates the
damage at $1,25O,O00. About 1900 op-
eratives in these mills are thrown out
of employment, ana within few days
will be in need of daliy bread. Soon
after the water pressure at mill No. 1
became dangerous, the boiler rooms
were submerged and the workmen
were ordered back. A little later the
fury of the raging river struck mill
No. /, sweeping that plant entirely
away.
The strong current then swept
against No. 2, demolishing that mill
and leaving only the cloth room stand
ing. The big bridge over the Pacolet
river, a steei structure, was then car
ried away by the food, which had burst
through the dams. The wareroom,
containing nearly 1000 bales Of cotton
and 1000 bales of domestic cloth, fol-
lowed, all the cotton being carried
down stream.
At mill No. one half Of the picker
room and five stories on the left side
# the main building were washed
away. The main building, supported
by a thick wall, is still standing, but
may collapse at any time. The boiler
room has gone, but the smokestack Is
yet standing. The dam at No. 3 Is
intact. All lie machinery in the mill
is ruined. At Glendale four ware
houses filed with cotton and cotton
products were swept away, along with
the dam across the Lawson's fork and
the trestle OF the city electric railway.
The mill at Glendale was not material
ly damaged.
There was no wind and no damage
by lightning, the loss all being by
water. This fell in veritable torrents,
covering the surface of the earth; riv-
ers overfowed their banks to heights
never before known.
At Converse the main building of the
Clifton factory collapsed and the food
rose till the second floor Of the mill
was under four feet Of water, 40 or 30
feet above the ordinary stage. The
Converse mill is utterly demolished,
nothing standing except the picker
room building, which is badly dam
aged. Clifton mill No. also lost Its
boiler room, engine room and smoke
stack.
