Norbert Mollen and John
Lenz, two young men whose homes are in Little Chute, were made members of the
Norbertine Order of St. Joseph's Church in De Pere during a solemn high mass
Monday morning. The young men were invested with the habit of the order, which
is entirely white, hence the name, White Fathers, is often applied to them.
The parochial schools have about 700 pupils in
attendance. At St. Mary’s there are 473 and at Holy Cross 280. At Trinity
Evangelical Lutheran school there are 45 pupils, and the Reformed German school
has 40.
J. H. Ralph, who has
been conducting a men's clothing store and haberdashery on Wisconsin Avenue,
next to the post office, has disposed of the entire stock of merchandise to a
new firm. Edward Zekind, who has many acquaintances here, wishes to announce
that he is interested and will have active management of this new store, which
will be continued, and a brand-new stock has already been purchased. The name
of the new store is "The Royal."

A party consisting of
August Schloter, William Ollmann of Cudahy and Charles Ristau, E. Brenner,
Edward and Fred Grebe and A. K. Mereness of this city were at De Pere Sunday
fishing for perch of which they caught 224. They went down Saturday and established
their camp, with Chas. Ristau as guide and chef and the way the crowd did
justice to Mr. Ristau's cooking caused even that experienced camper to open his
eyes in surprise. They did not bring back a single fish.
President William Taft will visit Wisconsin on his western trip the latter part of October and will include the Fox River Valley in his circle. He is expected in Green Bay on the 26th and passing through Kaukauna later that day with a stop in Appleton. The President is expected to visit 24 states on his swing west.

Near the Maloney Road
crossing, contractor Robert Hackworthy picked up a shoe which was bathed in
blood, one which had undoubtedly remained on the engine of the train which had
been mixed in the tragic accident at Neenah early that morning, in which
thirteen people had been ground to death. This was the worst railroad accident
ever to have occurred in Wisconsin. A group of twenty couples were riding in a
hay wagon returning from a dance, as the wagon while attempting to cross the
tracks near Menasha was struck by the north bound train. In addition to the thirteen deaths fourteen
others sustained injuries.
