Just be happy. just be happy;
Take the fiddle and the bow,
Snuggle it against your shoulder. to
Timber up and let her go.
Till the world is full Of music
And there's JOY in every string,
Till YOU get all outdoors laughing
And you make the echoes sing.
It's a duty YOU are owing
To the world to shake your feet,
And to lift your voice in singin'
Till the music fills the street;
If the world is dark and gloomy
And you haven't got a friend,
It's your duty to dissemble,
It's your duty to pretend.
If you meet the world a-grinnin,
Then the world will grin at you,
You can laugh the clouds to finder.
Till the blue sky glimmers through
If you just pretend you're happy,
With your whole heart in the bluff.
Then, almost before you know it,
You'll be happy sure enough!

WILSON IS COMING
Secretary Of Agriculture Invited
To Attend the Good Roads
Convention in Milwaukee
KENosHA PEOPLE TO ATTEND

A very fine program is assured for
the Good Roads convention at Mil
waukee, Sept. II. An urgent invita-
ton has been sent to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson to give an address.
Senator Stout Of Menominee is to pre-
side. Ex-Governor Hoard, one of
Wisconsin's most prominent farmers,
has also been invited to address the
convention and has given assurance
that he will be present if possible.
Many prominent farmers from all
over the state have signified their in
tention of being present.
It is assured that there will be a
large number of town chairmen
present as many of them have already
expressed their determination to at
tend. This means that large body
Of keenly interested persons will be
there for the purpose of getting all
the benefit to be obtained. They will
go home and put Impractical applica-
ton the sug gestions they receive. 1t
is expected that Kenosha county will
have at least ten delegates.
Each toWn chairman has been asked
to nominate delegates from his town.
They should not fail to get these nom
nations in at the earliest possible
date. This is necessary in order that
the delegates may get their appoint
ments IN time to make arrangements
to go. Every delegate appointed
should make a special effort to attend
as it is an opportunity not to be
missed. The excellent speakers, the
practical exhibition of road building
by the state geological survey and
the opportunity to ask questions of
expert road builders make this con-
vention rare chance, and no dele
gate should miss it unless it is abso-
Iutely unavoidable.

William Cannonburgh, Prominent
Farmer of Western Part of &C.
Killed Near Genoa Junction
WIFE HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Had Driven Into a Barn To Get Out of
the Storm When the Building Was
Struck by lightning and Man
and Team Were Killed

William Cannonburgh, who resides
on farm five miles west of the viii
lage of Genoa function, and who is
widely known among the farmers In
the western part of the county, met an
awful death during the storm which
passed over the county late Monday
afternoon, when barn near Genoa
Jun ct1on into which he had driven to
escape the fury of the storm, was
struck by lightning and Canuonburgh
and his team both met death, while
the barn and its contents were cou-
pletely destroyed by the FIRE which
followed. The remains of the man
charred beyond all recognition we're
removed from the ruins of the barn
after the storm was over. The man
had been terribly burned. One of his
legs was burned off and the entire
body was charred by the flames. 1t is
thought, however, that he was in
stantly killed by the bolt of lightning
and that after he had been killed the
flames burned the body.
Cannonburgh and his wife had spent
the afternoon at Genoa Junction and
were driving along the old Geneva
and Genoa Junction road. They were
about two miles out of the village
when the storm came up, and as the
rain was falling in torrents Cannon
burgh drove into the farm of man by
the name of Sumner, who farms a por-
ton of the old Acker farm. Cannon
burgh asked Summers permission to
drive into the barn until after the
storm was over and Sumner insisted
that he place the team insthe barn
and bring Mrs. Cannonburgh into the
house. Cannonburgh stated that he
would remain with the team, but
his wife left the vehicle to go into the
house.
Cannonburgh had entered the barn
when there was a flash of lightning
and the barn Wa IN to be in flames.
The flames r-edu With such rapidity
that it was impossible to do anything
to save the life of Cannonburgh and
his team. Frantic efforts were made
by the men and women about the
farm to get into the burning building
but it was impossible. The barn was
completely destroyed in compare
lively short time and as soon as the
flames had been subdued by the down
pour of rain Sumner and the men and
women started to search for Cannon
burgh. They found his badly charred
! remains near the remains of the two
horses. Mrs. Cannonburg was all but
Frustrated by the terrible accident re-
sulting in the death of her husband.
The remains were removed to the
Sumner home and latter were taken
to the home of Cannonburgh.
Caunonburg was forty-two years of
age and had livedin the neighborhood
for number of years. No details
have been receive Of the loss sus-
tanned by Sumner on account of the
burning of the barn but the building
and its contents we're completely
wiped out.

No review of the Old Settlers Club,
however brief, could be called com
plete withoutsaying word about two
Ga settlers who have done so much
20 advance the welfare of the club. 1t
took money to build the splendid
pavilion that adorns the grounds at
Paddocks Lake and offers shelter TO
the thousands that come to the annual
picnics. Had it not been for he
generosity OF Hon. z. G. Simmons,
VINO has never turned a deaf ear to
the needs of the club, it is doubtful if
so splendid pavilion would today be
at the service of the club.
After the additional land was Sc
cured and the pavilion erected there
was room enough for thirty times the
number which gathered at the first
Paddock's Lake meeting. To get old
and young to come to the yearly
gathering took careful, conscientious
endeavor on the part of one man-R.
+. Roberts. He worked incessantly
to secure speakers of statewide fame
to address those who were interested
il topics of general interest. He
worked just as hard to provide amuse-
ment for those who did not care to
listen to the orator of the day. His
was no easy task, yet all who have
mir scr 4
from the 300ato the 5000 mark know
how we'll his work has been done
Mr.. Roberts did more thansany one
man in Kenosha county to advance
the interests of the club. He was
elected secretary in 1889 and served
continuously to the time of his death
this summer. Up to the time of his
death he was making plans for the
coming picnic and counting much
upon meeting his brother old settlers
The plans which Mr.. Roberts haC
IN mind for the coming picnic have
been executed by the present secre
tary, Mr.. c. M. Bishop. The club ha!
been most fortunate in securing Hon
Henry Allen Cooper for the occasion
public man whose name on any pro
gram is a magic lodestone which
attracts people from far and near
Mr.. Cooper will speak on one of hi
pectation of the Club that this meet
ing will eclipse all former ones ii

NAB RACINE THIEF
Kenosha Officers Arrest John
0mich, Wanted in Racine on
a Charge Of Burglary
LOOTED A BOARDING HOUSE

Chief of Police O'Hare late Monday
night arrested John Onich, Hun
garian, % years of age, who is wanted
IN Ra cine on charge of burglary and
grand larceny. Omich was taken at a
place at III Union street after an ex-
citing chase and he will be taken to
Racine today to answer the charges
against him.
The man had formerly lived at a
Hungarian boarding house at the cor
ner of Main and Fifteenth streets in
Racine and late Monday afternoon he
1uade tour of the rooms in the board
ing house and forcing open trunk
he stole two watches belonging to
other boarders. The watches we're
valued at about $40 and he at once
fled with them to kenosha. Before
he was located by the chief he had
managed to sell one of the watches
for dollar, but the watch was taken
from sa1oonkeeper by the chief and
will be returned to the owners. The
two Racine men who formerly owned
the watches came to Kenosha this
morning and identified the property.
1t seems that Omich had made e1ab-
crate preparations to elude.the police
of the two cities and at the time he
was taken into custody by the chief he
was planning to get out of the city.
AT the police Office he was searched
and one of the stolen watches was
found on him. Later he admitted
that he had sold the other watch. He
refused to make any statement as to
his reasons in robbing the trunk of
his fellow Workmen
