\ plucky young lady called at the

bility in The News Auto Contest, and
didn't know until a few minutes ago
who it was that cast the first vote
for me; but l am certainly going
after that automobile. for l consider
il most liberal offer Too late?
Mercy, no, Seems to be that this is
just the right time to get in this
battle. Six days is mighty short
time, yes, but one can do wonders in
six days"
This was about the substance of
the conversation with this young
lady. and she has the right spirit to
make good contestant, with all the
nerve and confidence necessary to
win. She did not ask single Ques-
ton did not seem to care how the
race was going-she just seemed to
consider that she was going to be the
only one in the race. This Is the
right spirit.

Hour on Concrete Road-Pays Fine.

The first defendant charged with
violating the speed limit for running
automobiles over the new concrete
roads of Keflosha county, was arraign-

named as F. w. Plath and he was said
to be the keeper of lunch room in
Racine. He was charged with driving
his automobile at rate Of thirty one
miles an hour over the concrete road

soft impeachments and was fined ten
dollars and the costs of the action. He

deputy sheriffs have been put to work
to watch the speed of automobiles on
these roads and they have orders to

WERE GUESTSAT DINNER PARTY
Guests of Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Dawson
Stricken During the Meal and Physi-
clans Have Hard Fight to Save Their
Lives-An Out of Danger

Six people were near to death as
result of ptomaine poisoning on Tues
day evening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. G. E. Dawson, 500 Newell street.
The victims included Mr.. and Mrs. G.
E. Dawson, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Tay-
lor, parents of Mrs Dawson, Mrs.
Young of Chicago, and Mrs. James w.
Rose. Today it is declared that the
victims of the poisoning are out of
danger but all of them are still suf-
fering more or less from the effects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson were enter
tanning at dinner party and just af-
ter the meat course had been served
every member of the party was taken
violently i'll. They suffered from at
tacks of vomiting and DR.. Bernstein
was hurried1y called to the house. The
attacks were SO acute that he was
forced to call in another physician to
aid him in his battle to save the lives
of the poisoned people. Mrs. Dawson
was the most seriously affected by the
poison, but it was found necessary to
use stomach pump on all of the vic
Tins in order to relieve them of their
intense pains. Mrs. Dawson and Mrs.
Naylor were in a critical condition I'M
til late in the night It is not known
lust what caused II poisoning of the
people bat IL is thoughS tnaaa the trou-
BILE may have been caused by lamb
chops served at the meal. The meat
had been purchased from a local meat
shop only short time before it was
served and it appeared to be in
perfect condition when it was prepar-
ed for the dinner.
Several similar cases of ptomaine
poisoning have been reported in Keno
sha during the past few weeks and the
health department is sending out
special warnings to people to watch
with care the ice boxes in which meat
is kept. It is declared that ice boxes
kept in poor condition and ice boxes
with imperfect ventilation often pro-
duce conditions of food products which
lead to ptomaine poisoning. In several
of the cities of the state departments
of health have sent out special bulle-
tins dealing with the ptomaine danger.
Caution should be used in handling all
food products during the hot summer
months, but especial caution should be
observed in watching the meat supply.
Dealers in meats in the city declare
that meats sold in Kenosha are kept
in perfect condition up to the time of
their delivery to the consumer and they
insist that if impure conditions in
meats are found that they are due to
lack of care on the part of housewives.

DIVIDEND CHECKS HERE.
Creditors of Refrigerator Co. May Ex-
pect Second Dividend of Percent

The first batch of the dividend checks
for the creditors of the United Refrig-
orator Company reached attorneys for
claimants in Kenosha this morning.
The attorneys interested in the settle
ment of the estate Of the bankrupt now
declare that it is improbable that more
than one more dividend will be paid
and that this will be for six per cent of
the claims. AS the company received
more than 100000 for the assets it is
apparent that it will cost something to
settle up the affairs of the bankrupt
company as six per cent dividend
amounts to but $4,000. No statement
is made as to when another dividend
will be paid.

Racine and Kenosha County
Bankers Meet in Racine,
Form Inter-county Club.
MAKE ASSOCIATION HELPFUL

Officers, directors and employees of
the different banking institutions of
Racine and Kenosha counties, about
seventy in all, met at the Hotel Racine
in Racine Tuesday night, enjoyed
banquet and formed an organization,
to be called "The Bankers Development
Association of Racine and Kenosha
Counties. -
The object of the association is to
encourage the development of the var
ious industries of the counties; the
good fellowship and cooperation Of the
members of the association and the en-
hghtenment of the community in the
methods and practices of sound bank
ing.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted and the following officers elect
ed:
President George N. Frat, First
National Bank, Racine
Vice President-G. A. Uebele, Burl-
ington.
Secretary and Treasurer Run
del, Merchants and Savings Bank,
Kenosha.
During the meeting number of i'm
promptu addresses were made by those
present and songs sung and a general
good time enjoyed.
Had it not been for the Home Com
ing at Kenosha there would have
been twenty more present from this
city, and large gathering of the Burl-
ington Advancement association pre-
vented many going from that city.
Tt is believed that the new organi-
cation will result in great benefit to
both Racine and Kenosha counties.
Kenosha bankers are enthusiastic
over the new organization. They be-
lieve that the united work of the bank
ers in the two counties will prove of
great value not only as an uplift for
the business along financial lines in the
two counties but in bringing the banks
into closer touch with the people of
the two counties.

GRAND LODGE SESSION.
Kenosha Elks Interested in Session to
be Held in Los Angeles in July.

Kenosha Elks are taking great in
terest in the coming sessions of the
Grand Lodge of the order, which will
open at Los Angeles week from next
Tuesday The Kenosha delegation at
the Grand Lodge session will not be
large one, but several members of the
order who are attending the big show
at San Francisco are expected to drop
over to Los Angeles long enough for at
least one day of the Grand Lodge ses-
sion. The Kenosha ! lge viii be repre-
sented by Past Exalted Ruler Roy K
Dorr and by District Deputy Grand Ex-
allied Ruler Judge G. E. Randall. Mrs.
Randall will accompany Judge Randall
on the long. trip. Many matters of i'm
portance to the order will come up at
the Los Angeles session, the most in
teresting being the movement started
some years ago to limit the establish
ing of lodges in small towns. One of
the big annual questions is the Elks ;
National Home 1t is thought that the
Grand Lodge at this session will recog-
nize state associations in the order and
that some step will bo made to reduce
the representation at Grand Lodge ses-
sions. The Kenosha delegates to the
Grand Lodge sessions will support the
candidacy of William H. Schad of Mil
waukee for the Office Of Grand Esteem
ed Leading Knight.
