The annual masque carnival
at the Kaukauna Opera House Roller Rink was a big success. First prize for the
best lady’s costume was awarded to Miss Catherine Oleshek, who wore a white
dress literally covered with spoons. The popular local Dutch comedian Joe
Schermitzler carried off the honors for the most comical makeup.

away on Wisconsin Avenue Saturday afternoon and came near ending in a tragedy

Police Call Signal - The method for having the special signal light or police call at the corner of Lawe Street and Wisconsin Avenue turned on seems to be misunderstood. This light is not connected with the central telephone station but is manipulated at Hotel La Salle. The proper way to have the light turned on for a police call, is to call up the hotel office and make the request there. Remember the signal is not turned on from the telephone station. This will avoid delay and confusion.
“What's
with all those flags up for today?” exclaimed Gus Ristau as he alighted from
the streetcar in Appleton, Monday. “Why it’s Lincoln Birthday Day” volunteered
a bystander. “Well wouldn’t that cork you” said Gus “why it’s my birthday too
and I forget all about it.” Mr. Ristau went back home in the early evening to
find that his home was filled with people who had come to celebrate that
important event by the invitation of his wife who had not forgotten.
