Small-pox at Dundas and
in the Town of Woodville is on the increase. At Dundas one fatal occurred that
of Tony de Vrucht. Dr. H. B. Tanner was
called to the Dundas Wooden Ware Company’s factory, where young de Vrucht was
employed. He vaccinated all the hands numbering 28. The factory was closed to
await developments.
The Kimberly-Clark company in the Fox River
Valley, took an initiative in acceding to the demands of its employees for
shorter hours without a reduction in pay, and the action of the company will
affect 150 to 200 employees in the Neenah and all their other mills. By the
terms of the agreement the working hours in all departments are reduced from 72
to 60 hours a week without a reduction in wages taking effect December 1. Other
paper companies in the fox valley have likewise agreed to try the desired
change experimentally.
All the physicians in the city met yesterday
and resolved upon taking certain action relative to the spreading of smallpox
and in order that the disease may not become prevalent in Kaukauna will take
prompt action in every case that is reported. Strict quarantines will be
ordered. In view of the prevalence of smallpox in the immediate vicinity, we
urge general vaccination of all those who have not been successfully vaccinated
within 3 years.

J.W. Blair City Physician
An Indiana man says he has invented a cheap
substance that will absorb heat rays and keep them absorbed until they are
turned loose again under a boiler or in the kitchen stove. His idea is to
capture the sun's rays during the day and use the heat later.
Sixteen dead, thirty-two wounded and two
missing constitutes a record of casualties to hunters during the deer season in
Wisconsin.

Everyday has been the
doctor's "busy day" this week, for hundreds of children and grown
people as well have had a little vaccine put in their arms. There will be sore
arms galore by this time next week.

Winter came on with a
hop, skip and a jump when it really got started. There were no yard gains
connected with it. It was a clean sixty-yard run around the end for a touch
down. The mercury went down so fast Saturday night that it got clear out of
sight before the rebound occurred.
A disaster occurred
last night about 6:30 at the Union Bag & Paper company’s mill, which may
have easily been a fatal one. Several thousand pounds of ice came crashing down
through the roof burying the back end of the 63-inch paper machine. The great
weight of the combined ice, roof timbers, planking and tin sheathing came down
on the machine resulting in it being down for repairs.

There is more joy in
the printing office over one sinner who pays in advance and abuses the editor
on every occasion, than over the ninety-nine who borrow the paper and sing its
praises without contributing one cent to pay the bills.
Those investing in
lands in northern Wisconsin are reaping good profits. A farm purchased near
Colby a couple of years ago for $600 has increased in value so that the owners
have refused an offer of $2000,00 for it last week.
Nelson Green, an Oneida
Indian came to town Tuesday with a load of pulp wood and filled up on booze,
suffered the extreme penalty by losing his life on a railroad crossing. He left
the city late in the evening and in attempting to make Rademacher’s crossing
was hit by the special freight. The engine struck the rear end of his wagon
throwing him about 30 feet. He died from head injuries.
