The Kaukauna police
have been given authority by the council to arrest anyone who dances the tango.
A straw hat against a lemon, the police wouldn't know the tango if they saw it dance.
M. H. Niesen, landlord of Hotel La Salle,
closed a deal Monday for the purchase of the High Cliff summer resort property.
The purchase includes 12 3/4 acres on top of the cliff overlooking Lake
Winnebago together with the present buildings. High Cliff could be made a
beautiful summer resort and Mr. Niesen proposes to make it such in the future.
Cobus Peters, 67, an Oneida Indian who saw

was found in a shed on the farm of Henry D Metoxen on the reservation Monday
morning. Peters had started Sunday from DePere to walk to his home in Oneida.

A news special from a
town in Northern Wisconsin to the relatives of Erhard Reichel a violinist,
formerly of this city states the following: Erhard arrived here on foot wheeling
a wheelbarrow loaded with 200 pounds, consisting of tent, blankets, etc. and
accompanied by his dog, "Brownie." He started from Ironwood, Michigan
on June 10 on a 2,500-mile trip through five states and is now on the last lap of
his trip.
A young lawyer was defending an old convict on
the charge of burglary in a state where the court rules allow each side one
hour to address the jury. The young lawyer, somewhat nervous, consulted a
veteran member of the bar who happened to be standing nearby. How much time do
you think I should take addressing the jury? he asked. Take the full hour came
the reply. Because the longer you talk
the longer you will keep your client out of jail.
Your husband says he is in favor of votes for
women. Yes, replied to Mrs. Corntossel. Well, I don't see why we women
shouldn't vote if we want to. But it won't do any good unless we neglect the
house and hang around the polls to see that the men don’t get mixed up counting
the ballots.
