LONG 4 RESIDENT OF COUNTY
Deceased Was Born In the Kingdom of
Hanover But Came to This Country
as a Young Man and Had Been Very
Prominent in Political Life

Hon. George II. Kroncke, aged
seventy-eight years, formerly mem
Der of the Wisconsin assembly from
Kenosha county and one of the best
known of the German born residents
of the city and county, died at his
home 718 Jenne street at three clock
Sunday morning. His wife and all Of
his children were at his bedside when
the final summons came. Mr.. Kroncke
had been in feeble health for some
time and death came as result of a
general breaking down due to adj
,vanced age.
Prominent in many lines Of work
in the city and county, the death of
Mr.. Kroncke marks the passing Of a
man who had much to do with the
development Of this section Of the
state. He had been prominent as a
member Of the democratic party in
this section for years. He was known
to all of the leaders of the party and
had on many occasions represented
the county in the highest councils
of the party.
George Hinrich Kroncke, Won Aim,
was son of Claus Kroncke. He was
born on the ancestral estates of the
Kroncke family, known as Achthoefen,
in Osten in the Kingdom of Hanover,
February s. 1887. His father had been
very prominent in the political life of
Osten. He was member Of the peo-
pies assembly and was candidate for
a seat in Parliament but withdrew from
the race. Mr.. Kroncke was educated
in Hanover and he spent his early life
there. He came with his brother
Clements Kroncke, to America in 1871.
Their father accompanied them. In
1872 Mr.. Kroncke came to Kenosha
county and settled on the farm in the
town of Randall which he owned at the
time of his death. He took q deep
interest in the affairs Of his home town.
He served for nine years as member
OF the school board in the district and
for many years he was justice of the
peace. In 1898 he was elected to repre-
sent Kenosha county in the state leg
fislature. He was dignifed and con-
,servative as a member of the lepisla-
ture and always referred with pride
to his record. After he returned from
the legislature he removed from Ran.
dali to Kenosha in 1895 and since that
time he had made his home in the city.
He had been in the real estate bust
ness. He had large following among
the Germans of the city and to these
people he acted as an advisor. The
announcement of his death will come
as q great sorrow to many of the older
German residents who had come to look
upon Mr.. Kroncke as their closest
friend and advisor.
In January 1862, in Hanover, he was
married to Miss Augusta a.. Grothmann
who was a daughter of former mem
Der Of the House of Commons in Han
over. Mrs. Kroncke and three child
rem, Attorney George H. Kroncke Of
Madison, Attorney Jacob Kroncke of
Milwaukee, and Miss Anna M. Kron-
cke, a teacher in the schools of Keno
sha, survive the husband and father
He is also survived by one sister. Mrs
G.. J. Jorgensen of Wauwatosa and
seven grand children.

Closing Programs Given at
the Big Tent at the High
School Grounds Sunday.
COOO|hG WINS MUCHhPPIAUSE

The Saturday and Sunday programs
OF the Chautauqua were carried out as
announced. The performance of Reno
B. Welbourn proved to be one of the
most interesting of the course. Here
is what Mr.. Welbourn contends mod
ern science has already accomplished
or soon will:
The blind will be made to sFsee'' as
readily with their ears as we see with
our eyes, even to the extent of read
ing locating buildings and being aware
of the presence Of danger lights.
The deaf will be made to "hear' -
with their eyes as readily as we hear
with our ears, even to the extent of
music.
Army aviators can-and have al
ready-used the beam of their search
light as a telephone connection with
the earth and conversed readily with
persons thereon.
The invention of an ocean buoy that
automatically lights itself at dusk
and extinguishes itself of its own ac-
cord at dawn, is practicable. In storms
when clouds obscured the sky, it would
light up in the daytime.
A wheel can be set in motion by
merely throwing beam Of light on it..
A beam of light will set off power
full explosive at a great distance.
Ships with absolutely no one abroad
can be manned, steered and propelled
by wireless from the shore.
A shadow can be made to knock down
house, rink bell start fire, throw
a railroad switch, tell the speed of a
passing automobile, open burglar
alarm, and, if desired, ignite sulphur
and suffocate the intruder with fumes.
The burglar own shadow in coming
through window can be used.
Photographs can and have been sent
by telephone.
In course of time man will be able
to see over the telephone just as read
lily as he talks over it today.
The Beverly entertainers furnished
the musical part of the program on
Saturday.
On Sunday Mr.. Codding and the
Royal Welsh Ladies' Choir were en-
joyed by the largest assemblies of the
week.
Mr.. Codding, who has been warden
of Kansas penitentiary four years
told us something about the hand
ling of boys, for as he said the major
ity of criminals are boys really, for
they are men under thirty. The speak
er took .Joe' as concrete example
of the genesis and exodus of crime, and

a competent mind was graphing with
a great subject and ssthreshing it outo

down to "brass tacks' in his treat
ment of the question and no doubt
brought to light few "Joes1 in Ke-
nosha, whose parents don't know
whether they or Joe are the law givers
in the home. The address was practi-
ctl, timely, dealt with the very founda-
tions on which society is built, and
was greeted with rounds of applause.

whole was slow, bright flashes from

PETERSON TALKS
ON SOIL CULTURE
ENLIGHTENS CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE MEMBERS ON SURVEY
OF LATAH COUNTY
Best Talk Yet Heard Here ON the
Subiect-Plan COlfax Juiket
For Thursday

Probably cne of the most enlighten-
ing addresses ever made before the
Chamber of Commerce occurred at it's
luncheon today when Prof. Peterson,
soil expert at the university, gave his
auditors an address on the Latah
county soil survey. Mr.. Peterson at
once interested his auditors with a
description of the character Of soil,
its classification, origin and produc-
tivity and surprised many by the
wealth of information impaired in a
manner quickly absorbed by laymen.
The address is considered to have
been most instructive and as Mr..
Peterson is an entertaining talker the
chamber has hopes of securing him
again in the future.
President Hagan today delegated to
the publicity committee of the CHAM
Der the work of arranging plans for
a junket of Moscow business @men to
the Whitman county fair being held
at Colfax this week. 1t is suggested
that the trip be made Thursday.
A large committee was named also
to arrange the programs for the week
ly entertainments at the chamber
