Raymond Egan came near
losing his life Monday afternoon at the Thilmany Pulp and Paper Mill. He was
showing his companions how to stand on his hands on a stair or basement rail
with his feet in the air, when both hands slipped from the rail and he fell
twelve feet head first striking his head with great force on a solid stone wall
and from there turned a somersault into the basement six feet further down. His
scalp and forehead were badly gashed.

Phillip Kellar has
received letters patent on the safety-brake or appliance he recently invented
for use on automobiles in place of an emergency brake, with this difference,
that the Kellar appliance will stop the auto in a much shorter distance than
any other brake in existence. The appliance consists of two steel shoes which
drop to the ground instantly lifting the two hind or driving wheels of the
automobile about two inches off the ground and compelling the whole weight of
the auto to slide on the shoes, which it is claimed will stop it almost
instantly.

Catholic women the
world over are interested in the recent edict of the holy father, which dispensed
them from wearing the scapular, replacing it by a medal which may be carried in
the pocket. The wearing of the scapular with its brown cord has been a cross to
women who desired to wear their gowns or to appear in evening dress.
The
new five cent, electric theatre in the Lindauer block, to be known as the

attendance at the opening.

Instead
of asking what other men are going to do for their town, let everyman ask what
he can do? If he puts the question honestly,
he will be surprised to find in how many ways he can help boost his town. It is
better to be a “Booster” than a “Buster”.
Deliberate puncturing
of automobile tires seems to be the object of some person on the north side who
will be made an example of if caught. A board was found on Depot Street one day
this week two feet long, driven full of nails and lying crosswise of the
beaten track in such a position it could scarcely be avoided by an auto. The
board was an inch and a quarter thick and filled with sharp pointed nails,
forming an obstacle of a most menacing character to the auto driver or owner
who might encounter it.
Hundreds
of people in Kaukauna who have waited and watched night after night for Halley’s
Comet were rewarded Wednesday evening by an excellent view of the delusive body
riding high above the horizon with its head pointing north.
