C. & N. W. Railway Co. Now
Has $50 Names OH An
nual Pension Rolls
RECEIVE $4,000 MONTHLY

The plan of pensioning aged en-
ployes is proving a rather expensive
one to the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. Since the pension system
was inaugurated January l, 1901, the
railroad company has paid out nearly
million dollars.
At the present time the Northwest
ern has $40 pensioners on its rolls and
pays them. nearly $4,000 month.
This is an average of $25 month
each. ..-..-.
There were us pensions granted in
1910 and 60 pensioners died during
that year. Thus, practically one-half
of the pensioners for the year were
removed.
Tho plan is proving quite success
full and old-time employees of the rail
road are deriving much good from it.
Men who spent the best years of their
life in the service of the company
now receive pension in their declin-
ing years, the same as a soldier who
fought for his country.
There are but few railroads in
the United States where the pension
fund plan has been inaugurated and
for the most part they are the larger
roads. The companies have found that
by adopting the plan they can get bet
ter efficiency out of their men than
they could if the employees had nothing
to look forward to. Under the present
plan the employees feel that if they
serve the company well that they may
retain their positions and wnen they
are 10 longer able to work they may
retire and draw a pension.
This plan is becoming quite general
and it is felt that the time is not far
distant when every railroad in the
country, big or little, will have adopt
ed the plan, not. only for the same
cause that of humanity, but because of
the better service they get out of their
employees.
A million dolalrs is large
amount to pay ont in 10 years, but it
| is very little for large railroad cor
poration and the company evidently
feels that the money is well expended.

FIVE IN FAMILY ARE AFFECTED
Doctors Work for Five Hours Before
the Members of the Family are
Pronounced Out of Danger-Her-
ring Caused the Trouble.


Five members Of the household of
Louis Plous, senior member OF the
firm of Plous Brothers, narrowly es-
capped death from ptomaine poisoning
at their home on Grogan street Tues
day evening and today the physicians
are still attending the family and all
of them are confined to their beds.
The members of the household affected
by the poison included Mr.. and Mrs.
Plous, their two sons, Harry aged 4
years and Fritz aged 2 years and Miss
Mary Holland, who is employed as a
servant in the family. The poison
came as the result Of eating smoked
herring. Mr.. Plous had taken a can
of herring home for the evening meal,
but the members Of the family had
not eaten a great deal of the fish.
After dinner Plous went to his store
on Market street and few minutes
later he was taken desperately i'll. He
hurried to drug store and secured
an emetic and later he was removed
to his home in carriage. When Plous
reached home the place looked like a
hospital as every member of the family
we're suffering from the effects of the
poison. DR.. F. E. Andre and DR.. G. H.
Gephart were called to attend the poi
soned people and the physicians work
ed with them until long after midnight
before the patients secured any relief.
Plous suffered terribly from the results
tof the poison and the condition of the
little boys was such as to cause alarm.
The vigorous use of the stomach pump
relieved the wife of Plous and the
maid early in the evening.
At the Plous home this morning it
was stated that all Of the members
Of the family were still confined to
their beds, but the physicians in at
tendance declared that the danger was
passed and that there was no reason
to believe that the poison would prove
fatal in any of the cases.
1t is worthy Of notice that the fish
which had been eaten bore the stamp
of having been passed by the pure food
inspectors. The physicians are making
an analysis Of the portions of the fish
with a view of finding out just what
caused the poisoning of the members
of the family. Dealers in fish in tile
city are taking great interest in
the outcome of the investigation.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Commodore Bill Werner and
jim GreVenaW Were Fish
ermen Who Disappeared
TOOK BOAT into WAUKEGAN

The mystery attending the disap-
pearance Of two Kenosha fishermen
from the camp near Beach station on
last Thursday has been solved by the
return Of Commodore Bill Werner, one
of the best known of the Kenosha fish
ermen, to his old haunts and he admits
that he was one of the two men al
legged to have disappeared from the
camp. The other was Jim Grevenaw
and both of them are now back in
Kenosha, but they will return to the
camp at Beach and remain until the
first of May. Commodore Werner
seems to regard the story of his dis
appearance as a great joke. He states
that he left the camp Thursday morn
ing very early, leaving his partner be-
hind and when he got out into the
lake and found the water very rough
he managed to lift his nets but did
not attempt to make the trip back to
the camp but turned the boat towards
Waukegan and reached the port where
the fish were cleaned and marketed
AS it was impossible to make the re-
turn trip to the camp by boat the
boat was left at Waukegan and Com
modore Werner returned to the ca lp
by rail. In the meantime the boat was
sent back to the camp and as the two
men had been going out early in the
morning and returning late IN the
evening and for this reason they had
not been seen by the people in the
ncighborhood who believed that the
camp had been deserted and the two
fishermen drowned in the lake.
The search for the men has been
kept up for days by the people resid-
ing about the village, but they have
now been advised that the fishermen
are safe and the search has been
abandoned. Commodore Werner and
his companion returned to their camp
today after giving their friends in
Kenosha the assurance that their
bodies were not being used as food
for the fishes in the lake off the little
station.

TO STIMULATE ROAD BUILDING
Senator Orders Mile and a Quarter
of Road Built Along the South Side
of His Big Farm in the Town Of
Somers.

United States Senator Stephenson
has always been an advocate of good
roads and he is now going to be pro-
moter of the good road spirit in Ke-
nosha county and to this end he has in.
structed his manager at the Somers
farm, James P. Torrey, to proceed at
once with the building of mile and
quarter of road on the Plank road
which runs along the south of the fam
Gus Stephenson farm in the town of
Somers. Senator Stephenson wants the
road built with the view of making it
a sample for other farmers in the
county and while he is not particular
as to the nature of the road he desires
to have it built in such way as to
make it possible for the town boards
or for other farmers to follow his ex-
ample with view of having the entire
road from Kenosha to the extreme
western limits of the county improved
in the. same way within short time.
Senator Stephenson has set no limit on
the amount to be expended on the road
and he has specifically stated that he
does not care what the cost may be,
but that his idea is to have the road
one that can be sample for others.
He has suggested macadam and an
asphalt road, but the selection of the
material to be used is left with Mr..
Torrey.
The road will be a part of one of
the )st heavily travelled roads in Ke-
nosAa county ami the senator could not
have selected a better road on which
to make an experiment in road build
ing. It is just about midway between
Kenosha and the lake regions and it
will come as great improvement over
the present conditions.
The Stephenson farm is already an
attraction to visitors to the county and
with mile and quarter of perfectly
kept road in front of the farm it will
become more Of an object of interest
than ever before. Senator Stephenson
spent several days at the farm before
returning to. Washington for the special
session of congress and he spent con-
siderable time talking over the plans
for the improvement Of the road.
The road is a part of the road run
ming west from the city on Prairie
avenue and it runs to the extreme west
limits of the county. Senator Stephen
son is hopeful that the building of the
portion of the road which is along the
property will result in the town boards
of Somers and Pleasant Prairie taking
new. interest in the building of roads
and that the town boards will Join
with the property owners in an effort
to have the improvement of the road
carried out for it's entire length. The
building of only portion Of the road
will, however, come as a great improve
ment over the present conditions.

Fight Fans in Milwaukee Decidedly
Jealous Of Shows Pulled off Here.
Milwaukee fight promoters are decid
eddy peevish and they have shown re-
sentiment on account of the success of
the recent boxing shows held in Ken
osha and Racine. The shows in these
cities have been so successful that it
is declared that it is impossible for
Milwaukee sports to get any of the top
notchers to come to that city to battle
and that it is the plan Of the big pro-
moters to pull off all their shows in
Kenosha and Racine in the future. The
Milwaukee sports threaten to get real
busy on account of the elimination of
Milwaukee as a fight town and it is
probable that they will be able to start
something. The local officials have de-
clared that there will be no objection
to the continuance Of the boxing shows
so long as they are held within the
strict limits Of the Wisconsin laws.

SEEM THINGS AT NIGHT.
Hahn's Court Near Disruption on Ac.
count Of Argument Over a Comet,

Hahn s court, the highest judicial
tribunal on Main street and the place
where all really great questions of the
city arc settled in an extra-iudiciaI
manner, was in turmoil Monday
evening when City Attorney Calvin
Stewart, one Of the main officials Of
the court, came into the august
presence of Judge "Pop" Graves and
declared that he had seen comet
winding its way through the sky Just
over the lake. The court adjourned
Immediately and the full quota of
jurors and other hangers-on went to
the lake front, but there was no sign
of the comet and the reports from
other places this morning failed to
show that the astral visitor had been
seen in these cities. After the return
to The court there was an argument
which came near resulting in calling in
some real police officers, but it all end
ed in talk. The jurors reached the
decision that the comet seen by the
city attorney was the one which pass
ed over Kenosh; a year ago and that
the city attorney was .:Ist getting time
from his arduous labors in behalf of
the city to get a look at it. In the
meantime the comet story is going good
and it is expected that Eichelman park
will be crowded with star gazers look
ing for it this evening,

The committee on state affairs of

the regulation of the storage of pow

have representatives in Madison to
appear before the committee. The
general principle of regulating the
storage Of powder will not be opposed,
but the representatives of the com
pany will seek to have the provisions
Of the bill modified so that it will not
legislate the companies out of business
in the state. 1t is a foregone conclu-
sion that the bill when finally report
ed will be passed without any serious
opposition.
