In MemOriam.

In remembrance of our dear friend
Ray Mscklin, who died May 9Th, 1915.
Just one year ago today
Our dear friend passed away.
He received a massage from above,
And was borne to Heaven on wings Of love.
Gone in the best Of his days.
BliRhted in manhood's bloom;
Torn from the hearts that loved him,
To sleep in the silent tomb.
Farewell dear friend you have left US.
And your vacant place we see;
But as you could not stay ere with u.s.
We shall ever remember u.
But we strive each day to Hve
Close to the Cross Of Ca vary.
And stand upon the promise
Your smiling face to see.
A FRIEND.

FAIL TO AGREE ON SCHOOL PLAN
City Board of Education VIII Not Have
Charge of the Hannah School
Next Year.

The Board of Education of the city
of Kenosha is not going to have charge
of the management of the Hanan
School in the town of Somers for the
coming school year, as the members of
the board in the district where the
school is located have declined to ae-
eept the offer of the City Board Of
Education. This provided that the
school be operated under the direction
of the City Board of Education with
the understanding that the pupils from
Somers would pay a pro rata portion
of the expense. The district board
made a counter proposition that the
city pay tuition for such children as
might attend the school from the city.
AS more than eighty per cent of the
children in the district live within the
city limits the members of the city
board fear that this plaRwin not work
out well. It is probable that the city
will move portable buildings into the
new territory to take care of the pupils
and that it will not be necessary for
the city to use the Hannah school at all.

BURNEDBYEL
Was Last Seen at 2 O'Clock and Plant
Kept Right on Running Although He
Must Have Been Dead for Some
Time When Found by Fireman.
(From Friday S Daily

Sydney Mennell, residing at 254 S.
W. Main street, for the past nine years
night engineer at the plant of Simmons
Company, was found dead behind the
switchboard in his engine room just
before five O'Clock this morning. The
manner in which he met death is
shrouded in mystery, but his death was
evidently caused by his coming in con-
tact with one of the high power cleo
trio wires connected with the switch
board. He had been terribly burned
about the face and portion of his
eyes had been burned out. A great
burn on his back seemed to indicate
that it was this portion of his body
which had come into direct contact
with the electric wire
Mennell was last seen in the engine
room just after two O'Clock. At that
time one of the fremen saw him pick

met Them At SUNDAY SCHOOL
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Barnes and Children
Accept Invitation of the President of
Standard Oil Company to Visit His
Estate and Have Great Time.

How would you like to be the guest
of the richest man in the world? Just
to be invited to bring the wife and chill
dren over and spend whole day romp-
ing over a famous estate. This was
the pleasure Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred D.
Barnes, former Kenosha residents and
their children during the past week
when they were the guests of John D.
Rockefeller and his family at the IA
nous Rockefeller estate at Cleveland,
Ohio. Mr.. Barnes freely admits that he
does not rank with Mr.. Rockefeller in
the financial world but there is place
where the two meet on common ground
and that is at a big Sunday school in
Cleveland.
Mr.. Barnes who left Kenosha a year
ago to go into the advertising business
in Cleveland met Mr.. Rockefeller at

up broom and he started to clean up
about the room. It is thought that he
met death shortly after, for when the
dead body was found back of the
switchboard the broom was still clutch
ed in Mennell s hands and it was plain
to be seen where he had left off sweep
ing. Mennell had been alone in the en-
CINE room during the night and as there
was no trouble with the engine during
the early hours of the morning no one
took occasion to go to the engine room
until nearly five 'clock
Then fireman went into the build
ing. He failed to find Mennell at his
post and he started a search which re-
suited in the finding of the body. The
remains were removed to the Hansen
morgue and Coroner Fl. A. Millager
was called to make an investigation.
He went to the engine room and spent
an hour looking into the facts sur
rounding the death of Mennell and he
held that the man had so clearly met
accidental death by coming into con-
tact with one of the wires of the
switchboard that there was little use
of holding an inquest. Mennell was
thoroughly acquainted with all the cleo
trical work of the engine room and his
close associates at the factory are I'M
able to account for his meeting acct
dental death. He was one of the men
who had actively urged the ''Safety
First' movement and he showed great
care in handling his machinery at
all times.
Mennell was one of the old employees
of the Simmons Company and his card
showed that he had been employed
there since August of 1907. He was
great favorite with the men at the big
plant and his tragic death has caused
great sorrow mong them. Mennell is
survived by a widow and FIVE children.
Mrs, Mennell was Frustrated when she
heard of the death of her husband
No announcement has been made of
the time of the funeral.
Mennell was a native of England
where he was born April 10, 1890 and
had resided in Kenosha for the past
twelve years. He was the first. of the
employees of the Simmons Company to
die since the new insurance plan was
adopted. The claim of his family for a
benefit of nine hundred dollars was
proved up this morning.

ANITORS ARE WORKING HARD
Grs. Welles Believes Schools Will Be
AS Well Kept AS It Is Possible
for Buildings Used by Hun
dreds to Be.

"The entire janitor force of the pub
lie schools is busily engaged in the fall
.leaning,' said Mrs. Richard Welles to-
day, one Of the two women members
of the school board and one who has
taken especial interest in the sanitation
and cleanliness of the school buildings
both in her school board capacity and
rs member of the Durkee School
Parent-Teacher Association.
"The janitors are doing splendidly
and are much interested in their work,
taking personal interest in all the
preparations for the opening of school,
New paint and varnish as we'll as much
scrubbing and cleaning are contribut-
ing agencies to the spicky-span cleanli-
ness and aspect of shining freshness
which the schools will exhibit when they
open next month.
"The members Of the health and
sanitation committee, newly created by
the school board, will make thorough
inspection of all the schools before the
opening day arrives.
"The parent-teacher organizations of
the different schools have agitated the
question Of more scrubbing and clean
ing in the schools, but those acquainted
with conditions realize that while all
chat can reasonably be done for the
'Keep of the schools with the present
force of janitors will be done, the
schools will still fall somewhat below
~ standard Of cleanliness in we'll kept
homes. 1t is quite impossible to keep
school rooms occupied by hundreds of
children quite as tidy as ones own
home where daily sweeping, busting,
cleaning and scrubbing are the rule and
but small number of people enter to
bring in the mud or dust of the out Of
doors.
"The firing Of the furnaces is one
Of the causes of daily dust in the
schools. But I am safe in making the
assertion that the present janitorial
force is doing all possible to put the
schools in good condition and I believe
That they will do everything possible to
keep them as clean and sanitary as the
time at their disposal allows them to.
"There will be many improvements
in the schools when they open which
will be approved by all parents who
send children to them -

Euclid Avenue Sunday School one day
a short time ago and introduced his
wife and children. "Bring them all
and come over and spend the day with
me,' was the invitation that the rich
est man in the world extended to the
former Kenoshan. Mr.. Barnes thanked
him and hurried to rather humble
home and tried to forget all about it
but the following Sunday Mr.. Rookie
Teller chided him for his forgetfulness.
Then the invitation was accepted and
a couple of days later Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnes and all the little harnesses went
over to the Rockefeller home and spent
the day.
It was the day of a life time for the
children and it can be added that
Papa and Mamma Barnes will not for
get it for some time.
Mr.. Rockefeller takes a great inter
est in HIS church in Cleveland and
one of his happiest habits is to have
members of that church as his guests
at his splendid home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnes are coming to Kenosha later in
the summer for visit with their
friends and at that time Kenosha peo-
pie will be able to hear their story of
how it seems to be the guest of the
richest man in the world if only for
one day. Mrs. Barnes is daughter of
Oscar Rector, former commander of the
Fred S. Lowell Post of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
