John Kinnicut, Pioneer Carpenter
Of County, Falls From Scat.
fold To Death in Salem
FALLS ON STONE PILE
Physicians However Believe That He
DIED From the Heat and Not From
the Fall-Long Resident
Of the County

The first death from the heat record
ed in Kenosha county this year occurred
on Monday when John Kinnicut, pio-
neer carpenter of the county fell, over
come by the heat, from scaffold in
the town of Salem and was picked up
dead.
Kinnicut fell head first into pile
of loose stones, but it is not thought
that the fall caused his death. The
carpenter was IS years old and had
been widely known among carpenters
and builders in Kenosha and through
out the county. For many years he
was resident of Kenosha, but recent
ly he had gone to Salem to make his
home and had engaged in this business
in that part of the county. He was in
the best of health when he left his
home in the village of Salem yesterday
morning to go to the old Furlong farm
TO aid in raising a barn. The scaffold
on which he was working was less than
eight feet from the ground and a minute
before the accident Kinnicut had COM
planned to one of the men working with
him that he felt dizzy and had head
ache. The man to whom he had been
talking walked to the end of the build
| ing and turned around in time to see
Kinnicut swaying on the scaffold. He
fell head first to the ground, but the
fall was broken by his foot catching on
the edge of the scaffold. The other
men employed on the job hurried to his
side, but when they turned the old
carpenter over it was evident that he
was dead. There were no serious
wounds on his head and the skull had
not been fractured. In fact the only
wounds were slight bruises where his
head had come in contact with the
stones. Kinnicut had not thrown out
his hands in an effort to break the
fall and this seems to indicate that his
death was due to heart failure following
the intense heat. AS soon as possible
physicians were called and the body
was removed to the Kinnicut home at
the village Of Salem. The Justice who
held the inquest found a verdict in
keeping with the facts as stated.
The deceased came to Kenosha county
nearly half century ago and for years
he resided in Kenosha. He took part
in the building of many large build
lngs about the county and had been
the master carpenter for the Jefferson
Ice Company for a number of years
He is survived by widow and one
daughter Miss Bessie Kinnicut who is
employed as a hookkeeper in Kenosha
Kinnicut was known to many people
in Kenosha and his tragic death caused
something Of sensation.
Reports from many of the factories
in Kenosha show that men suffered in
tensely from the heat on Monday af
ternoon and it is probable that if the
hot weather continues some steps will
be taken to protect the men. More
than half dozen minor cases of heat
prostrations were reported on Monday
afternoon, but none of them proved
sufficiently serious to have the patients
removed to the hospital.

Commissioners of Library to Have Their
First Large Expenditure This Year

@A0O AAoA HIS Z GdI
The Board of Commissioners of the
Gilbert M. Simmons Library are at
the present time being called upon to
make the first large expenditure for the
repair of the library. The building has
stood for eight years with practically
no expenditure, but it is now found
necessary to make some change in the
terrace surrounding the building which
wifi practically mean the rebuilding of
a large portion of the terrace. The
work as planned will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and the board has
arranged to do it this year Provision
for this expenditure was made before
the Board made the return of portion
of the appropriation to the city.

"Custom has long ordained that June
be the commencement month, and no
more appropriate time could be chosen
for our entrance into the new life than
the season when earth is clothing itself
in it's royal resurrection robe of green.
When one undertakes any great task,
there is need of encOuragement-an
we receive it by attributing your in
spring presence here this evening, at
our commencement to a sincere interest
in us and in our advancement, and the
Glass of 1908 appreciates your kindness
and courtesy and thanks you most
heartily for it-and extends to you
very cordial welcome.
"Tonight, we are together for the last
time as a Glass; it is an occasion of
mingled pleasure and pathos. For four
years, we have looked forward with ex-
pectation to this climax-the culmina-
tion of our High School life, but we are
not unmindful Of the saddened gladness,
which it invokes, for henceforth our
paths will diverge- some will go forth
to higher study while others will enter
the business world, but whatever tasks
we may have or/wherever we may be, no
one can fail if he bears in mind our
motto Advance
Gas one stands on the lake shore,
at night and watches the moon rise, a.
first there is very short and narrow
shaft Of light thrown over the dark
waters. AS the silvery orb ascends in
to broader view, its luminous pathway
DIVORCES, until at ones feet there is
a vast expanse of liquid light. So, we
trust, may it be with our careers-our
lives, small in their beginnings, have
broadened under the benefcent in
fuence of our Alma Mater, so that now,
as we stand at the horizon of life, we
may look into the golden future with
hope, trust, and some degree of conf
dence.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Among the forbidden things that are dearest to the American heart, more es- pecially the feminine heart, is smuggling. To walk the path of recttude at all times, save when the chance to trick the customs officials comes around, is widespread characteristic. And the most popular of all contraband articles is the glove. The tourist abroad when looking for gifts for the home friends knows that gloves are easily packed and con- cealed and always acceptable Then come the anxious moments when the customs inspectors are busy. And if the contraband goods are overlooked or pass ed how the fair importer delights in the adventure and boasts of her cleverness. But it isn't the pretty smuggler who wor- ries the nations customs collectors. It is the wholesale violator of tariff restric- tions, the duty evader who brings in the dutiabe goods in large quantities, the smuggler whose operations are calculated to distress the legitimate dealers who obey the laws and secure their stock through the proper channels.
 Within the past few days the of ficials in the New York customs ser vice have made seizures that convince

them that there is what they term "a conspiracy in gloves" There were sev- eral thousands of pairs seized in the baggage of two passengers on a Ger man steamer, dealer returning from abroad had 1000 pairs or more, wom- an had to give up $500 worth, and finally, butcher cart, while leaving the landing pier, was held up and $460 worth of choice hand coverings were found in a basket beneath a layer of hay-hidden there, of course, by some adroit smuggler who had run the gauntlet of the inspectors. From all these seizures-made within a compar- atively brief time-the officials believe that there is general attempt. di- rected by smuggling syndicate, to flood the market with untaXed gloves
 Every little while special effort is made along some special line of i'm portations to hoodwink the officials Sometimes the smuggled goods are silks, oftener they are precious stones The temptation is so strong and the rewards so great that the punishment which follows detection does not prove a deterrent.

Hail to the Believing Bonqo.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 It does not seem that the daughter of John D. Archbold is altogether to be thanked for introducing into the United States the wild African "bongo.'
 It is true that this particular bongo is stuffed and mounted and has been put away upon high shelf by Dr. Bumpus of the American Museum of Natural His tory. Yet there is a discomfort in having even it's counterfeit presentment in our vicinity.
 The bounding, believing bongo may neither take rebates nor write letters to federal legislators, but we would a little bit rather take no chances with it what ever.

Why the Conventions Vent

Mr.. Samuel Mercer is still insisting
with all seriousness that the democratic
conventions were taken from Des
MONIES because the newspapers here
could not be relied on to report the
proceedings fairly.
Mr.. Mercer will deceive nobody. The
conventions were taken away from Des
MONIES because majority of the mem
bers of the state committee are conser-
vatives, and because Des Moines is the
head center of Bryan influence in the
state. A Bryan resolution was adopt
ed by the committee to sugar coat the
pill, but the pill contained some bitter
tasting drugs just the same, for the
Bryan men to swallow.
State Chairman Miller may be ousted
from the management Of the campaign.
But it will not be for lack of foresight
on his part. He is not planning to SUBJ
NIT the matter to vote in the head
quarters of his enemies. The Des
Moines Bryan men will have Just as
FAR to travel to reach Mr.. Miller as
Mr.. Miller can well arrange.

Democrats on Guard.

The following from Mr.. Bryan's
Commoner meets the entire approba-
ton of the Plain Dealer and is the
sentiment Of the Democrats of Howard
county.
1. BE on guard lest the party be
crippled by an organization out of
hamony with the party's purposes.
2 "Let every aspirant for position
in the party organization be scrutinized.
If his present position or his past rec
ord is open to objection let him stand
aside. The party has more important
work than apologising for its repre-
sentatives, and no representative ought
to desire to make himself an issue"
8. 1.-THE corporations will attempt to
control the organization, and they will
have candidates for every vacancy from
precinct committeeman to the top of
the organization. The people must
have their candidates, and it is we'll to
begin at once to look out for the right
man for each place and have him ready.
q. "What the party now needs is to
prove to the people that it can be trus-
ted to carry out the desired reforms,
and this confidence can only be estab-
lished by roofing out Of the democrat
ic organization every member whose
business connections are such as to bias
him in favor of the corporations which
have been securing privileges and fav-
ors against the people,"
5. Each community has RIGHT
TO INSTRUCT ITS DELEGATES, for
the delegate is the representative, not
of himself alone, but of those who elect
him. The VOT ERS HAVE A RIGHT
TO INSTRUCT and the representative
is in duty bound to obey. And while it
| is generally safe to trust man to obey
instructions, even when he does not
agree with them, it is better to select
delegates who are in sympathy with
instruction. IT is BEST TO IN
STRUCT, and it is SAFEST to put the
instructions in the hands of those who
agree with the voters as what is best
to do"
| 6. with a platform that is really
democratic, with candidates who really
represent the platform, and with an
organization that is really in sympathy
with the platform and the candidates,
the democratic party can enter upon a
vigorous campaign with splendid pros
poets of success. Will the rank and
file undertake the work and thus pave
the way for victory?''
