Time Machine Trip to November 1914

 

Kaukauna Times

By Lyle Hansen


November 6, 1914

Emmanuel L. Philip was elected Governor of Wisconsin. Republicans captured all but one of the county offices in Tuesday's election, and Kaukauna maintained its reputation as a pocket of Democracy and rolled up good sized majorities for most of the Democratic candidates.

 

Kaukauna High School gridiron battle with Appleton on the Kaukauna field began with a touchdown by the local boys within the first two minutes of the game. Appleton responded with a touchdown of their own to tie the score. The game went to pieces on the visitors attempting an onside kick, the referees flagged as invalid. The Appleton coach withdrew his team from the field in dispute of the call which ended the contest.


New York, Nov. 3 – Criminal indictments charging William G. Rockefeller and twenty other men famous in the industrial and financial world that they conspired to monopolize commerce in the transportation business were returned by a federal grand jury.

The Kaukauna Roller Rink will open for the season next Thursday night, and thereafter every Thursday night and Sunday afternoon and evening. The music will be furnished by the popular Rink Band. Ladies will be admitted free except on exhibition nights.

 

 


The Right Rev. J. J. Fox, bishop pf Green Bay, blessed the new bell of Holy Cross Church Sunday afternoon in the presence of priest of Kaukauna and neighboring cities and a large concourse of Kaukauna people.

 

The Kaukauna High School played the strong West Green Bay football team Saturday at that city and came out second best being beaten by a score of 61–0.

 

The hustling little village of Brillion is now illuminated by electricity. The new line from High Falls Co. plant at Green Bay was completed last week.

An exchange remarks that Mother Eve was made nude until the apple episode, but when she ate the apple a change for the better took place, and judging by the kind of dresses many of the women wore last summer, it seems about time to pass the apples again.

 

Hundreds of saloon keepers in the entire northern section of Minnesota are planning to close their saloons Nov. 30, following the orders of the special agent of the Indian bureau at Washington. The section ceded to the United States by Indians in 1885 under the condition that liquor is never to be sold in the territory. This rule sweeps almost the entire state of Minnesota from the Canadian border to the southern boundary.
