Kaukauna Times – September 1902
By Lyle Hansen
September 5, 1902
The season for long
hair and pads is almost here. The more a football player can make his caput
look like the Paderewski, the better appearance he makes on the gridiron.
The statues of the
twelve apostles were received Wednesday by St, Mary’s society. They are in
terra cotta, except two which are intended to decorate the altar, which are in
Carrara Marble.
A freight wreck here
yesterday afternoon in front of the Wisconsin division depot on the northside
made kindling wood of a flat car, a clover holler and a threshing machine.

A peculiar and very
painful accident happened here Saturday afternoon to C. L. Sanborn of
Minneapolis, who was engaged in covering the roof of the Kaukauna mill with
tar. He had reached the highest part of
the roof when he slipped and the contents covered him from head to foot,
burning his body terribly. Physicians think his eyes can be saved, and that he
will recover. He told the attending physicians he just wants to go home as soon
as possible to his wife and daughter.

The post office
department has issued a new order to go into effect on October 1, with regard
to the rural mail routes throughout the county. A mailbox must be erected by
the roadside, so that the carrier can easily obtain access to it without
dismounting the vehicle.
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Leenhouts have just had a
rather remarkable experience with their youngest child. About a week ago they noticed
the nose was swollen on one side. On examining it Mr. Leenhouts could see a
small portion of a bean and something was growing from it. A neighbor told them
to try snuff to cause the child to sneeze. The result was that the child in a
fit of sneezing successfully dislodged the bean that had begun to grow in the
nose.

The old reservoir at
the corner of Third Street and Main Avenue which furnished the water supply for
fires before the water works system was put in is now being filled in.
Dr. Victor Kutchin, the people's doctor,
who has been coming to Kaukauna on monthly visits for years, has been confined
to his bed at his home in Dartford. For the first time in years, he failed to
meet his patients last month and will not be able to do so the coming week. His
physicians say he will be on his feet by the end of October.
Now that the women are
to vote this year the board of registry will have more than the usual amount of
work in most cities. All women who plan to vote for state and county positions,
as the law allows them to do, will have to register before the election which
falls on Nov. 4. This year the elections board meets on October 7 and 28. This
gives the persons who desire to vote two opportunities to register.
