Kaukauna Times - By Lyle Hansen
April 1, 1910
Arthur Bayorgeon, the well-known
local musician, has recently composed a very pretty march which will soon be
placed on sale. Plates are now at The Times office ready for printing and the
sheet music will soon be ready for dealers. A special designed title page
printed in purple gives the name of the new piece as the "Purple and White
March," the same being dedicated to the B.P.O. Elks of America, purple and
white being their colors.
Frank Wright’s Kaukauna
livery stock including horses, carriages, sleighs and harness were sold to Mr.
Martin of Spenser. Mr. Martin traded a farm located in Oconto County for the
entire outfit.
The Fox River opened
for navigation from Green Bay to Portage earlier this year than any that can be
remembered.

Mayor John Coppes - Election Day in
Kaukauna Tuesday passed off very quietly, many not even taking interest enough
to go and vote. The day was very disagreeable wet overhead, wet under foot, and
even "wet" in the ballot boxes when the outcome of several contests were
made known, for there seems to be no doubt now but what the question of saloon
regulations entered more or less into the result of the local election. It can
be seen very plainly that the sentiment of the voters was guided to quite an
extent by the platforms as outlined by the two candidates for mayor. John
Coppes won an overwhelming majority of 444 votes over Julius J. Martens, out of
a total of but 965 cast.

The Thilmany Pulp and
Paper Company has commenced making an important improvement which for some time
they have had in contemplation after plans drawn by O'Keefe & Orbison,
Appleton, and which will shut down that part of their plant containing No. 2
paper machine and five beaters. They will build two new beaters to take the
place of two which are worn out and will repair the paper machine which is now
being dismantled, while the main work is in progress which consists of putting
in a new flume two new water-wheels and laying a concrete steel reinforced
floor under No. 2 machine and the five beater engines in the same room.
The river levels have
dropped since the Neenah and Menasha Waterpower Company was organized for the
purpose of careful storage of water in the lake. We now need a heavy and
consistence rainfall.
The Chicago &

For some time, past
there has been talk of a motion picture theatre on the south side and plans
were rounded into shape last week when Messrs. Roy Kuehn, Albert Paschen and a
couple of associates, contracted with Luther Lindauer for the store room in the
second street block formerly occupied by the Savings Center. Carpenters are now
busy transforming the interior and front into a theatre to be known as the
Crystal, which the boys hope to have ready for business within three or four
weeks.

It is almost incredible
to believe that we should have passed through such extreme cold for this season
of the year when with fruit buds just ready to burst into bloom that all kinds
of tree fruits are not ruined. A most remarkable sight was witnessed by
everyone who took pains to examine the apple and cherry buds, as each one was
encrusted with a coat of ice which seemed more a protection than otherwise as
the ice was not frozen to the buds but formed a hollow sphere all around
them—each bud resting in its own little globe of crystal, with the ground
beneath them covered six inches deep with snow.
Samuel Langhorne
Clemens
foremost humorist and known worldwide as “Mark Twain” has died at the age of
75. He was born on November 30, 1835 and grew up in the little town of
Hannibal, Mo. “I enjoyed reading his books as a boy. My favorites were The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Prince and The Pauper.” – Charles Raught,
Times editor.
Kaukauna’s north side
has been under the fear of rabies. A dog has bitten several other dogs and all
display signs of rabies. A cow belonging to Joseph Hoffman, Lawe Street was
bitten by a dog and died a week later.
