Election Day has come
and gone again in Kaukauna, and both sides have sufficient reasons to feel
victorious. The day passed uneventful, there being but little of usual election
excitement in evidence. Frank M. Charlesworth, republican nominee for mayor,
went in defeating D. A. Titus with a majority of 72 votes.
There is a lively
demand for hay just now, and farmers are bringing it to town as fast as they
can be considering the roads.
When a girl is in love
that is her business. When a young man is in love that is his business. But
when they contemplate marriage it then becomes my business to supply them with
their wedding shoes and slippers. J. G. Fechter.

On Saturday last J. A.
Hawes transferred to Dr. H. B. Tanner all interest in the Corner Drug Store on
the corner of Main Avenue and Second street. The Dr. is now sole owner of that
establishment. The ownership again reverts to a Kaukauna resident and this time
goes into strong hands. Dr. Tanner’s success as a businessman has long since
passed the point of being questioned.
Mr. Oscar Thilmany, of
Thilmany Pulp & Paper mills, commenced
operations Thursday to build a new and much larger office, underneath
which will be another beater engine room, and still below in the lower story a
tank room. The new building is to be of stone, three stories in height, and
32x48 feet in dimensions ground measure.
The Athletic
Association of Kaukauna High School is now a member of the Inter-scholastic
association, which organization they joined Monday and under whose rules they
will participate.
The name of Frank
Landreman, son of our townsman Eli Landreman, was enrolled among the wounded in
one of the battles in the Philippines April 5. The telegraphic news did not
tell how badly he was injured and Mr. Landreman is anxiously awaiting news from
Manilla.
An exchange recently
printed an item to the effect that a certain resident, whose name was not
given, had better stop kissing his hired girl or he would be exposed.
Twenty-seven residents gave themselves away by call on the editor and
threatening to thump him if he didn’t retract.
St.
Louis, Mo.
- A decision was rendered by Judge Peabody the other day that under certain
conditions a husband has the right to beat his wife. “There are times when a
wife irritates her husband to such an extent that he cannot control himself and
uses his hand or fist. As long as not serious harm is done I don’t believe he
should be punished.” The case was one where a husband was charged with beating
his wife because she would not agree with him in the management of their
children.
The “98 model “Iver
Johnson” tandem that Joe Wittmann is offering for sale at $50 is a bargain.

Every indication tends
to show that the fishing in Lake Winnebago this season will be the best that
has been known for many years. The good fishing promised is the result of the enforcement
of the law prohibiting net fishing in the lake and its tributary streams.

The curfew bell rings
each evening now at 9 o'clock, at which time all children are expected to be
off the streets and at home.
Another old soldier is
laid to rest. William A. Michels, aged 55 years, was buried at the Wrightstown
cemetery, in charge of Paul H. Beaulieu Post, of which he was a member since
1893. He served in the 14th Illinois Cavalry during the rebellion.
He spent about three months in Andersonville prison, from the effects of which
he never fully recovered.
A love story comes to
our attention. It happened that a young man loved a beautiful young girl whose
parents did not reciprocate his affection. He secured a wagon and few friends,
drove up one night and rushed the house. The girl was wrapped in a blanket and
brought out and whisked away. After distancing himself from the house, he drew
back the covering from her face. The features were those of the girl’s
mother.
