The Lawe Street Bridge
across the Fox River was condemned for teaming purposes by the common council,
the bridge having reached a condition where it was dangerous to allow teams to
cross.
After undergoing a most
thorough renovation for the past five weeks, the Grand View Hotel was again
opened to the public this week under the new management of Geo. Mulholland.
As a result of the
murder of Chief Charley on the Lac du Flambeau reservation the chief’s son
Neganlgilia, age 6 years, has been proclaimed chief of the Chippewa.
Game Warden C. E. Lucas
of Fond du Lac made an important arrest at the railroad yards in this city. Mr.
Lucas seized eight barrels of fish weighing 2400 pounds. The fish had been
unlawfully netted in Lake Winnebago. The barrels contained pike, pickerel,
perch, and white bass.
John McLaughlin was
badly scalded at the Combined Locks Paper Mill Thursday forenoon. He tends one

All restrictions on the
use of water for power have been removed and everything is now wide open. This
is the first time in 17 years that all the mills on the river have run to their
full capacity by waterpower in the month of October.
Work has so far progressed at the Thilmany Pulp and Paper Mill that Nos. 1 and 2 paper machines were started up on Tuesday for trial runs and commenced to making paper again on Wednesday. The addition to the height of the tall circular brick chimney was finished Monday and has been made 35 feet higher instead of 29 feet as first contemplated.
Fall Blouses are in
fashion

yards for a touchdown.

Twenty-five young men
of De Pere have been engaged to work in the woods the coming winter at $35 a
month, which includes board. How many young men got such wages during the
winter preceding McKinley’s election to the Presidency? That year from $10 to $15 was the highest
wages paid.
Phillip Lina, a laborer
living at Little Chute, who for the past years has been living in destitute
circumstances, will sail on a steamer Saturday back to Venio, Holland, where he
goes to collect as inheritance by his brother. The news of the fortune reached
him several days ago by cablegram. He had not had connection with his family
for many years and is the sole heir.
