Mrs. Josephine K. Henry, if she were elected to the presidency
of the United States, would stand for the demonetization of silver, for
prohibition, for universal suffrage and agnosticism. She is a Kentucky woman
who has already been mentioned as a candidate for presidential nomination in
1900.
The Oneida fair this year seems to have drawn a
larger crowd from the surrounding cities and towns than usual. People came from
far and near, in carriage and bus, by wheel and afoot; lumber wagons loaded
from the outskirts of the reservation, market wagons and all kinds of rigs brought
their quota. The exhibits by the Indian women are quite varied, consisting of
embroidered articles of various kinds.
Cooking, especially bread was very good.
The Ahnupee Record
has changes its name so as to conform to the new name of the city and is now
called the Algoma Record.

An exchange tells of a
lady that died and as the pallbearers were conveying her to her resting place, they
stumbled and dropped the casket. The concussion brought the deceased back to
life and she lived another six years. On the way to the grave six years later
the grief stricken husband stepped in front of the pallbearers at the place of
the previous stumble and announced "steady boys, steady."

A city football team has been organized here
within the past week and every afternoon finds a number of boys down at the

into consideration. The team consists of Arthur Frambach, Delbridge, Kwapil,
DeForest, Miller, Nugent, Sargent, Titus, McCarty, Schell, B. Fargo, Gross,
Green, Hackett and others.
All ticket agents and
telegraph operators of the Northwestern road will hereafter be compelled to
wear uniforms. The company started out a party of tailors from Chicago last
week to take measures all along the line. They reached Kaukauna Saturday. The
uniforms are of the regulation blue, trimmed with brass buttons. The words
"ticket agent" or "operator" will also be placed in gold
letters upon the caps.
One of the Lake Shore

Badger mill Monday.
Dr. H. B. Tanner, Pres. of the Yukon Gold
Mining and Transportation company, of this city, has received a letter from a
former Kaukauna lady, Mrs. Retta Duncan, who is now located at Skagway, Alaska.
Mrs. Duncan will be remembered here by many having been manager of the
Transient Restaurant until a few months ago, when she departed for Tacoma,
Wash. she is a punky woman determined to capture a part of the untold wealth of
Alaska. “This is a great place. Carpenters get paid $5.00, but nearly
everything is overdone. It only takes two men from 1 1/2 to 2 days to build a
house. My place is a tent and the door is only tied with a string. Shoes seem
to be the most expensive. Have paid $3.50 per pair that go for $1.00 in
Kaukauna.”

The boys at the engine
house had a small fire at their own place last Sunday. Some of the gasoline
used on the engine heater leaked out and started on fire. The engine was
removed from the house and the fire was extinguished without damage.

contract for the construction of the new St. Mary's church fell from the
scaffold at the building last week Saturday afternoon and broke his left leg.
Dr. O. G. Lord was called and set the fractured limb. It will be several weeks
before Mr. Hoffman will be able to attend to his work again.
