Many Halloween pranks
were committed throughout the city last evening, but it is to the credit of the
young people that very little property was destroyed. Soap was used as
extensively as ever on windows and the usual amount of oatmeal was thrown but
aside from this everything was orderly.
Nicholas Faust, Kaukauna, is one of the pioneer insurance
agents of Wisconsin having been successfully engaged in the business for over
forty years. He is the senior member of the firm Faust & Faust, his partner
being his son, C. J. Faust. Mr. Faust took up the insurance business
immediately upon his return from the war moving to Kaukauna 18 years ago.

That the Teddy bear
craze is a menace to future generations is a statement of Rt. Rev. Sebastian G.
Messmer in an interview at Milwaukee. "Teddy bears are taking the place of
dolls with the children, the future fathers and mothers of the nation,"
said the archbishop, "and if the growth of the fad continues the dolls
will disappear altogether. I think dolls do much toward developing the maternal
instinct in a child. Teddy bears cannot do this. They can only inculcate in the
child's mind a love for animals that smothers the dormant mother's love."
Mrs. Catherine Lawe,
who has been critically ill of late, expired Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Her
death was directly traceable to a fall which she sustained a week ago, the
effects of which she never recovered. Mrs. Lawe, often referred to as the
"Mother of Kaukauna," was a very friendly, cheerful lady who was
beloved by all. She was preceded in death by her husband, George W. Lawe,
twelve years ago.

The Wisconsin Butler
and Cheese Company at Wrightstown, after many vexatious delays, are at last
ready for a business of cheese making again. The new boiler is installed which
they found it necessary to purchase and they have started in manufacturing a
fine grade of cream cheese. They will run just as late as it is possible to
take in milk enough to pay a profit.
The Kaukauna High
school football team demonstrated their ability Saturday so as to be classed
among the best high school team in the state. They easily defeated DePere
combined east and west team 26 to 0. Kaukauna had new trick plays and had
perfected the forward pass.
The Kaukauna roller rink will open for the season Saturday.

Deer hunters have been
returning home from the northern woods this week by the hundreds. Because the
mild weather and the absence of snow the season has been anything but favorable
and as a consequence very few deer are being captured.
Eight companies of United States cavalry have been sent to
Thunder Butte, S. D. in the fear that the Sioux Indians are about to rise in
rebellion and take the warpath as allies of the Utes, who are ready to shed
blood due to the hardships imposed on them by the Indian agent. It is feared
settlers may be massacred unless a sufficiently large number of troops are sent
to overawe both the Utes and the Sioux.
“In God We Trust” is to
disappear forever from United States coins unless congress acts contrary to the
wishes of President Roosevelt.

The North-Western
Railway Company is making preparations to build a new bridge just below the
site of the old Badger mill. The new structure will be more than double the
length of the old and will be built of steel girder construction resting on
solid stone piers. Two drills are at work deepening the channel in the tailrace
so as to make room for the center pier, work upon which will soon be commenced.
