DANCE FOR CHARITY
Annual Charity Ball Of Kenosha
Lodge Of Elks a Brilliant
Social Function
LARGE SUM FOR HOSPITAL

The annual Charity ball, given nn.
der the auspices Of the Kenosha lodge
No. $50, B. p. o. E., at Germania hall
Thursday evening proved to be one OF
the most brilliant social functions
ever given in the city. The Elks ball
has for the past three years been the
one big event of the winter IN Keno
sha, but the party of Thursday even
ing eclipsed all former efforts of the
antlered crew.
The arrangements for the big party
had been perfectly made and they
were perfectly carried out. The hall
never looked prettier. The big iron
girders had been hung in the purple
aud white of the Elks, while at one
end of the hall was great illumina-
ton, Charity The stage was
banked with palms and flowers, while
about the walls had been suspended
the flags Of ali nations.
1t was a brilliant gathering from
every standpoint, and the 200 people
who mingled in the merry dance DUR
ing the evening represented the best
in Kenosha society. Many guests
came from Racine, and Milwaukee,
Madison and Waukegan lodges of the
order sent representatives to grace
the scene with their presence.
The music for the dancing was fur
nished by the Stemm Brothers orches-
ira of fifteen pieces and was certainly
as good music as had ever been heard
at dance in Kenosha.
Refreshments were served in the
big dining room between eleven and
one O'Clock. Mrs. Eugene r. Head
and Mrs. Peter Fisher were in charge
of the refreshments.
Dancing continued until early
morning and all present at the dance
report it the most enjoyable time ever
given by the order of the Elks.
Financially the dance was great
success. More than 100 tickets were
sold for the event and the net pro-
ceeds of the party will be between
five and six hundred dollars. This
sum will be equally divided between
the general fund of the Kenosha
hospital and the charity fund of the
order.
Added to the contribution of money
the ladies in charge of the refresh
ment committee this morning sent to
the hospital a large amount of provi-
sions which were left after the guests
at the party had been served.

WAS Is YEARS OLD
Friends Of C. A. Dewey Give Him
a Surprise on the Anniversary
of His 18th Birthday
RECALL EARLY KENOSHA DAYS

A social gathering of more than
usual interest to Kenosha people oc-
Cured on Thursday evening, when
friends of CORTLAND A. Dewey, COM
i monty known as the deacon" went
to his home on Market street and
gave him decided surprise. Seventy
five years ago yesterday Mr.. Dewey
was born way up in the hills of
Vermont, and this ending of three
quarters of century of life was the
occasion for the informal visit Of his
friends.
Among the number who called to
pay their respects were many of the
pioneers of the city and county and
the evening proved to be one of great
interest. During the evening Judge
Russell S1osson of the county court
made short address in W hich he had
something to say of the long residence
of Mr.. Dewey in Kenosha and at the
close Of the address he presented the
guest of honor with a handsome set
of books as a souvenir of the oc-
casion.
Mr.. Dewey spoke in accepting the
gift telling Of his early life in Keno
sha and his long business connection
with the city, He told several interest
ing stories of the earlier days in Keno
sha and referred to the "o1d timers"
in a way that brought tears to
several Of the early pioneers present.
Later in the evening S. N. Barber,
who was born on farm adjoining the
old Dewey farm in Vermont, told
some "reminiscences of the early days
of the Dewey family. He spoke of
deacon" Dewey as boy and his
humorous stories brought many
laugh. Later the Rev. Florence
Buck made short speech of con-
gratu1ations.
At the close of the speeches the
guests were invited to the dining
room where supper was served.
Mr.. Dewey is in the best Of health
and, Notwithstanding that he has
passed the three score and ten some
time ago he seldom misses day in
the store.

EVERY farmer in the county knows
that certain parties are carrying on a
regular and profitable business IN
"slinks" and diseased and decrepit
animals of all kinds whose flesh is
unfit for food, but the health officers
have as yet taken no steps to stamp
out the business or to make certain
that none of the meat from these ami
mails is exposed for sale in this city.
Of course no reputable butcher would
handle any of this meat, but the
chances are that it is not all shipped
to Chicago, and an immediate inves-
tigation should be started by the
health officers to see what becomes of
it. The business has been carried on
SO openly that it is a wonder chat the
attention of the health officers has
not been called to it before, but there
must be plenty of evidence against
the two men who are said to be leaders
in the business if the authorities look
for it.

THE council may have the power to
give away any street in the city with
out the consent of the property own
ers, but it is not likely to use it's pow
ers in any arbitrary manner, and the
wishes of the property owners will
undoubtedly have great weight with
the aldermen when the time comes to
vote on the proposed Ashland avenue
extension of the street railway fran
chise. Before the matter is reported
to the council by the special commit
tee in charge of it, every man who
owns foot of land on the street will
have been given an opportunity to go
on record for or against the PROPOSE
ton by signing one or the other of
the two petitions now in circulation,
and it will be an easy matter for the
council to ascertain the wishes of the
majority by checking up the two pc
titions The majority should govern,
unless the street railway company can
show that the street is absolutely nee
essary for the completion of the sys-
tenn in order to accommodate large
number of our people who would 9TH
erwise be left without the service. In
that case there might be some excuse
for the council going against the
property owners in this matter for the
good Of the city as a whole.

THE North Western railway COM
pany will have to pay a little more at
tention to the way some of its cross
ing gates are being operated or it will
find itself up against heavy damage
suit one of these days. Twice within
a month men have been shut in on
the tracks by the sudden closing of
the gates and only their own GOODNESS
saved them from death or serious in
jury. Evidence of such care1essness
on the part of its employees would tell
heavily against the company before a
jury in case any one is hurt and a few
more narrow escapes might even
force the city council to require the
railway to keep fagnan at every
crossing.

Annual Report Of Health Officer
Eastman Shows That Death
Rate is IL to 1000 Here
sENILE DEBILITY HEADS LIST
Deaths From Contagious Diseases IN
Kenosha During the Year Less
Than Forty and Many
Deaths Accidental

Or. j. X. Eastman, secretary of the
Kenosha board of health, this morn
ing forwarded to Surgeon General
Walter Wyman at Washington his an
nual report of the deaths in the city
of Kenosha during,the year 1905. The
report makes a remarkable showing
for the city in that it shows that the
death rate for the year just closed was
only twelve people TO the thousand.
This percentage would be little mis-
leading, under the figures as given,
but it must be stated that deaths
from accidents are not counted in
making up the death rate of the vari-
Gus cities IN the country. Chicago,
for this year, shows the remarkable
death rate of a little less than IA to
the 1000, and the rate in Kenosha is
even lower. It is thought that the
death rate IN Kenosha will be as low
or lower than is to be foundg in any
other city in the state.
The report for the year shows that
there was 221 deaths that should be
properly counted to Kenosha. Added
to this there were "a deaths from &C
cident or suicide and nineteen still
born children. The last two classes
are not included in making up the
death rate of the city.
The year was noted for the mum Der
of accidental deaths. The report of
the health officer shows that during
the year there were four suicides,
seven were drowned, eight met death
in railway accidents, one died from
poisoning, two were e1ectrocuted, one
died from a gunshot wound and
one from fractured skull In
the original deaths reported from Ke-
nosha eleven took place in the town
of Somers and one man was killed at
the village of Twin Lakes and the re-
mains brought to Kenosha for burial.
Added to this many former:residents
of Kenosha died in other cities and
their remains were brought back to be
laid to rest i'll the old family p1ats in
the different cemeteries about the
city.
The report shows that the great
n1dJO14ly O1 QSdlIlS WSIS OF people
who had passed the age of three
score and ten, while in the number
we're more than twenty who had
reached four score. Deaths among
the older people were largely caused
by old age and by paralysis of the
heart and kindred diseases. Deaths
from contagious diseases numbered
twenty-five. Of this number sixteen
were recorded from consumption,
four from membraneous Group, four
from diphtheria, and one from ty-
phoid fever.
The report shows that there were
five cases of scarlet fever reported
during the year, without single
death from the disease. There were
sixty cases of diphtheria with four
deaths, and four cases of membrane
Gus Group all of which resulted
fatally.
The city has had the usual epidem-
les of measles but there were no fata1i-
ties. The report from the city this
year shows decided improvement
over the previous year, the death
rate being reduced almost one per
cent during the year.

A SOCIAL HIGHWAYMAN
Mnff and Boa Stolen From A. o. u. w.
Hall During Dancing Party

y
There seems to be reason to believe
that social highwayman is at work
IN Kenosha for Friday morning the POI
lice were notified that fur muff and
boa belonging to Miss Atele Clough
we're stolen from the dressing rooms of
the A. O. q. w. hall Monday night.
Miss Clough had gone to the hall to at
tend masquerade party and when
she vert to the cloak room after the
dance was over she found that her
furs which were valued at something
like $40 were missing. 1t seems inn
possible that the furs we're taken by
mistake as no other furs were to be
found in the! cloak room.
This is the first case Of this sort to
be reported to the police in many
years and every possible effort will be
made to locate the guilty parties.
There was large crowd az the dance
and for this reason it Isl stated that
there is no clue to the guilty parties.

afternoon on the complaint of Walter

over to Johnson and when such pay
ment had been made he was released

Cool Poultry Thoroughly.

Following is an extract from clrcu-
lar sent to shippers by q New York
commission house: Our experience and
observation is that the cause Of q
great deal Of poultry arriving In bad
order Is the fault Of the shipper either
by not having cooled out properly, put
ting too much in barrels without suffi-
cient ice or shipping dry packed during
warm or muggy weather. Poultry to
be tanked In ice water before shipping
should be well cooled by putting in
three changes of fresh well water be
fore putting into ice water. This takes
the animal heat out gradually, whereas
If put in ice water too quickly almost
invariably a greenish cast Is given to
the poultry. This, of course, affects the
price from / to 2 cents Il pound. This
mistake of improper cooling occurs
more with winter and inexperienced
shippers than with those who ship the
year around. However, it frequently
occurs even that they have used too
much haste or dressed too close up to
shipping time
