The publisher of The
Times is pleased to announce that we have recently inaugurated an improvement in
our mechanical department which places us another stride in advance. In keeping
with our well-known policy of always giving subscribers the greatest possible
return for their money, we have just installed one of the latest improved
patterns of the two-letter Junior Linotype. By its use we will be enabled to
issue a better paper than we ever have been in position to produce heretofore,
although The Times has for years been one of the largest weekly papers in the
state.
Tributes
of respect were paid to the honored dead by the living comrades of the Grand
Army on Memorial Day. Loving hands scattered flowers in the silent resting
places in memory of the dead veterans there.
We have dead soldiers in fourteen cemeteries and many battle fields and
southern burial places. Our dead outnumber the living veterans and the
difference is fast increasing.

In the dual track meet
between Lawrence and Ripon last Saturday on Lawrence Field, Appleton, Frank M. Charlesworth
of Kaukauna, was second highest point winner on the Lawrence team. The Kaukauna
athlete took two firsts and a second, making all thirteen points for the
Lawrence side. He was beaten only by Beyer for individual honors, the latter
taking all three weight events which gave him fifteen points.
The
announcement has been made that William F. Cody, known the world over as
“Buffalo Bill” is to retire. Since 1872 he has been before the public as a
showman in the Wild West performances.
The
stampede begins to Alaska as estimated of 15000 people will be leaving Seattle
for Nome and other points north this month. The people are drawn to Alaska by
reports of rich discoveries in the Iditarod gold fields.

The unusual spectacle
of two large boats passing each other in the government canal occurred
Wednesday noon. The Leander Choate bound down river and the Gov. Transport Wolf
upward bound both whistled for the Lawe Street Bridge at the same moment and
met each other in the widest part of that channel, the bend just below the
bridge where they slowly and safely passed.
Nearly
25,000 of the immigrants who arrived at the United States ports during the past
year ending June 30 were denied admission and compelled to return to the
country where they came. Various reasons were assigned for the refusing to
allow them to remain. Physical defects and the probability of them becoming
public charges were the most frequent reasons. The year ending admitted over 1
million new arrivals.

A blazing carload of
cedar logs piled ten feet high rushed up to the north side depot Tuesday
shortly after the noon hour and demanded assistance. It was almost useless
trying to extinguish the fire with the small depot hose and so the fire
department was called up and promptly responded. The fire was not easily
extinguished as the entire load was blazing fiercely before a double line of
hose could be trained on it and it took about an hour and a half to hunt out
the last smoldering embers.
The spur of munificent prizes for the aero plane flights has brought on a
campaign likely to be decisive. Nearly the whole world is anxious to be shown
that man can fly like a bird. Big money will await the aviator who can
transport passengers several hundred miles and return them to the start. This
will prove the flying machine to be more than a mere toy.
