murderous gang started from San Antonio, Tex., on the 22d by railroad for Fort

New York, Oct. 28 – The rain-storm which prevailed all day
yesterday but the weather this morning is very unpromising for the festivities
which are to take place in connection with the inauguration of the Barholdi’s
Statue of Liberty. A slight fog hangs over the city and obscures in measure the
elaborate decorations of buildings. French and American flags are flying from
house tops and windows in every direction, and a general holiday appearance is
presented by moving bodies of soldiers. Visitors from all sections of the country
have been coming into the city for two days past, and this morning thousands
were added to the great throng.
Out of over 800 voters
registered in this city there were only 625 votes polled. This light vote -
considering the fine weather which prevailed throughout the day - was a
surprise to all.
Returns received from
about the state up to an early hour on the morning of the 3rd indicate that
Gov. Rusk has been re-elected by a probable majority of 20,000.
Constable Keef, of
Little Chute arrested one man on Election Day for using abusive language and
managed to quiet the fellow’s tongue by keeping him locked up until the polls
were closed.

A new stone lock will
be built at the "cedars" just above Little Chute this winter. This will
give employment to a large number of workmen and will probably make it
unusually lively at the "Chute" during the lone winter evenings.
The snow storm on
Saturday was the beginning of winter. It created a great demand for stoves and
the hardware men are happy.
One man living in the
city has recently ordered the discontinuance of The TIMES to his address,
giving as the reason that this paper did not give sufficient support to his
favorite candidates, that one paper in Kaukauna was enough, that the people
here were democrats and all they wanted was a democratic paper. Words cannot
express our admiration for this man, his broad and liberal views in political
matters. He has been a resident of Kaukauna little more than a year, and the
place he left to come here must still be suffering from his conspicuous absence
and mammoth intellect.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 6. – A plasterer named Shules, who
contemplated leaving this city for the old country, recently sold his wife and
five children to a man for $70. A regular legal agreement was drawn up between

investigating the matter.

Grandlec, Kewaunee Co., has been appointed to take charge of the South Kaukauna
Catholic Church, and entered upon his duties this week.
The discovery of coal
beds near Dundas has brought about a great deal of excitement among people in
this section during the past week.
The question of making
the salary of police officers large enough to abolish the payment of fees for
the arrest of tramps, vagrants etc, has been discussed considerably during the
past two weeks by the authorities of Kaukauna and Appleton.
New York, Nov. 22 – The last night of the loving watch beside
the home of Gen. Chester Alan Arthur, ex-President of the United States has
passed. The morning dawned brightly on
the closed shutters of the house and the black crape at the door were the only
sign that deaths sickle has been busy within.
