mayor’s seat. Sullivan carried every ward in the city over his two rivals for
the position.
The census bureau says United States population
next July will be 120,013,000. At the end of the century the population will be
256,000,000. In the last eight years the population has increased 14,302,389 as
the births exceed by one million the deaths each year.
The excitement of the election was enlivened
Tuesday morning by a garage fire at the Goese home on the corner of Tenth
street and Kenneth avenue. Two cars, a Hudson and an Essex, were totally
demolished by the flames. It is believed the fire started in the Essex.

Another lot of baby chicks made the walkin ring
around the post office today with their chirps. Three hundred were included in

way in and out of the local postal station.

Does the average reader of The Times seek only
those articles which express his own convictions? Is he afraid to read the
thoughts of men who attack his cherished opinions? How many of us in reading
what another writes attempt to secure the fair intendment of the authors? Or,
do we impute the hot flame of indignation in defense of our own position. There
are three sides to a story, “my side, your side and the right side.” You will
never find the third side unless you can see the other two sides.

George Hopfensperger, 24 years of age, died
Wednesday as a result of injuries received when he was crushed under the dipper
of a steam shovel here at the Kaukauna Quarry.
In the fall of 1881, in
a little one story wooden structure, G. W. Fargo, with his wife, Margret,
established the business which now is marking another milestone in its business
life in the opening of Kaukauna's largest store, home of Fargo's furniture and
undertaker business, located on Wisconsin Avenue. Local and out of town people
showed much interest in the formal opening of Fargo’s on Wisconsin avenue.
Every woman entering the doors of the building received a fine gift and the
prize contest had a large number of registrations. Baskets of flowers donated
by various firms in the area were spread throughout the building.
