Bowling
Green, Ky.,
- Out of a population of 1,800 persons 500 are down with smallpox.
Another collision
occurred Saturday night in the dark hole at the south end of the Lawe Street
bridge in which two buggies came together and were quite badly smashed up.
Fortunately, none of the occupants of either buggy were injured. This is the
second accident that has happened in this dark hole within the past two months.
The Times would suggest putting up a
couple of common post lights.
The cigarette evil is
growing in Kaukauna. Many boys who would attend Sunday school and are supposed
to be as good as boys can be, are victims of the habit. While their parents
offer fervent prayers in church on Sunday for the salvation of the world, their
boys are out in some old shed engaged in consuming the “coffin nails”. Many a young
active boy has sold his future for the questionable pleasure derived from the
seductive cigarette.

the air.

As the days begin to
lengthen the cold begins to strengthen.
Eleven children were
burned to death, and a half a dozen injured in Quincy, Illinois, Friday
afternoon. With a score of happy children on the stage in the auditorium of St.
Francis Church school rehearsing for a Christmas entertainment, the garments of
one of the children came in contact with a gas jet. In an instant the flames
spread over her. The little ones screamed as the sisters hurried to the scene.
