A huge, modern dance
hall, the Nitingale Ballroom, now completed, one of the largest in the state,
is the result of the efforts of Sylvester Esler of this city to obtain a
location where people might dance and enjoy themselves throughout an evening. A
crew of carpenters has been putting the finishing touches on the structure to
make it ready for its grand opening Sunday evening, June 3rd.
An invitation to visit the local telephone

service as a matter of course. An average of 5,516 local and toll calls are
handled every day. There are now eleven telephone operators with the peak hours
in the morning between 9 and 10 o’clock.

In a well-played game, which ended in a near
riot with Umpire Kliebhan the center of the crowd’s fury. The small riot occurred in the ninth frame,
when Vils got on base on an error with two outs and traveled to home on
Cramer’s double. As he traveled to home plate he was tripped by the Green Bay
catcher and missed the plate. The catcher then tagged him and Kliebhan called
him out, that’s when the fun commenced. Several Kaukauna players ran out on the
field to protest and in a jiffy a hundred or more fans were on the field all
after the umpire. He was escorted off the field by the police to a waiting car.
Ever see a cart stuck in the mud and the team
unable to move it? A crowd gathers round and watches the team straining in an
effort to move it. Some just watch and others shout words of advice. Then two
or more step out, get hold of the wheels and lend assistance. Others follow and
soon the cart is out and on its way. This is an example of people around here
who sit by and “let George” do the work towards making Kaukauna a better town
in which to live. It’s never too late to put your shoulder to the wheel and
lend a helping hand.

Captain Hendrick Aupaumut, a Revolutionary war
hero buried in Kaukauna, is one of only three Revolutionary war veterans buried
in the state of Wisconsin. He was honored here Thursday June 14th by
the Daughters of the American Revolution, with a program staged at the triangle
at Reaume and Hendricks avenues. The tablet unveiled today is to the memory of
Captain Hendrick Aupaumut, a member of that great tribe of Algonquin Indians,
his particular clan being known as the Muh-he-con-nuk originally known as the
grandfather of them all. When the tribe gathered near Stockbridge,
Massachusetts, they became known as the Stockbridge tribe. Captain Aupaumut was
written of, by those who knew him in high esteem and General Washington
mentioned him with praise on several occasions. He was born about 1757,
descending as he did from a long line of chiefs noted for their sagacity and
wisdom. He obtained his education and spoke several languages being sought
after by the government to negotiate treaties with Indian tribes. At the
closing of the ceremony the “The Star-Spangled Banner” was song.
