record in the cure of chronic cases seldom equaled.
A man said: “I met a young widow and married
her. Then my father met her step-daughter and married her. That made my wife
the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and made my step-daughter my step-mother
and my father became my step-son. Then my step daughter had a son, that boy was
of course my stepbrother because he is my father’s son. He is also my wife’s
grandson. That made me grandfather of my step-brother. Then my wife had a son. My
son is now my father’s nephew and I am my own grandfather.”

While attempting to
pass a farmer's rig on one of the south side streets, attorney E. A. Baker was
kicked by a horse and knocked from the bicycle he was riding. The results were
a broken left wrist. The farmer was very backward about sharing the road with
the bicycle, as many farmers are, and probable as a result will have to defend
a damage suit.
THE KAUKAUNA TIMES today enters upon the

A special train of nine coaches passed through
here last Friday evening carrying the men of Company I and M. When the train
arrived here a large crowd of Kaukauna people were on hand to greet the boys in
blue. To the surprise of all two of the boys who had gone to war got off the
train. They were Ed. Grose and John Daley.
The surface of Lake Winnebago is now covered
with a peculiar green scum. The paper mills along the Fox River are greatly
annoyed too by the green seeds as they are small enough to pass through the
water screens filling the paper with green specks.
The prospects for a lively season of football
is good in Kaukauna. A team has been organized and practice games appointed for

both playing in the eleven. Paul Hallock was the unanimous choice of the team
for captain.
It is rumored on the south side that a party of
three young gentlemen who went coon hunting the other day, had a lively
experience with a coon covered with black and white fur.

A reception will be
tendered for the Kaukauna soldiers who have just returned from the war, by the
members of the Kaukauna Guards, Women's Relief Corps and citizens, at the Opera
House next Wednesday evening.
A movement is being
started by some of the businessmen in this city to raise money by subscription and put a clock in the tower of Holy Cross Church. Several men
have offered to give $10 each. The location of a clock there would be
admirable, and as a matter of public convenience, it is hoped the movement will
meet with the success it deserves.
Charles Chamberlain and Elmer Fullerton, the
last of the Kaukauna soldier boys to return from Porto Rico, arrived home on
the Sunday train. Both are considerably emaciated and quite weak having signs
of malarial fever.
