The Kaukauna Fibre
Company’s plant was started up again this week. To secure water for the boilers
a cofferdam was built across the tail race in the rear of the mill, the water
raised several feet and a pipe laid to the pump at the mill.

On Saturday last
Liveryman Mulloy sent out postals after a fellow named Wippert who had stolen a
horse and buggy from his stable a few days previous. He was arrested that
afternoon at Oshkosh and lodged in jail until Marshall Kuehn went down and
brought him back to Kaukauna.
One day last week H.N. Kinsley of this city
walked into our office and laid on our desk a copy pf the Boston Garette dated
Monday, March 12, 1770.
About ten small-pox cases have developed in
Menasha and one person succumbed to the ravages of the disease Monday.

Luther Lindauer is
running his quarry on the Island night and day to fill orders. About forty men
find employment at present.
The second story of the
new addition to the Thilmany Paper plant is nearly laid.
Under the management of
Joseph Harp, Eden Park is once more becoming quite a popular resort. All
parties visiting the place are sure of a good time and the best of treatment.
The grounds are being made beautified again this season making it one of the
finest places on the river for a day’s picnic.
The Kaukauna baseball
team met their Waterloo last Sunday afternoon in the team from Oshkosh being
defeated by a score of 8 to 11. Ill luck seemed to follow every play made by
the home team while the visitors enjoyed just the opposite.
Boston,
June 10 -
The Woman’s Rescue League has adopted resolutions declaring that bicycle women
and the coming “mannish woman” are productive of much harm and no real good,
and that the “sporting woman” and the “mannish woman” and the “bicycle woman”
bring disgrace on the true woman. The league condemns bicycle riding by young
girls and woman for these reasons: 30% of the fast girls that have come to the Rescue
League for aid were bicycle riders at one time. This is resolved that since the
closing up of the houses of ill repute in Boston the sporting girls are taking
to bicycle riding because they can better apply their vocation on account of
the opportunities given as cyclists.

A Little Chute
correspondent writes the far-famed "evergreen avenue," in front of
the Catholic Church there, which has so long been a landmark in the Fox River
valley and from its association with the good Father Van den Brook had come to
be a much-loved historical monument, has been destroyed. The trees have been
cut down and sold for firewood, and where once stood those beautiful trees rich
in memory of pioneer days and the man who planted them, all is barren and
conventional.
The Y.M.C.A. Debating society of the Thompson club closed its season last Monday evening with a very pleasant gathering to which a few friends outside the members were invited. Mr. O. Van Hecke acting as toastmaster, Fred Fischer responded to the toast, “Our City.” And for a short time carried the listeners back to the early days of Kaukauna and worked up through the modern improvements that have been made.
Wisconsin Governor William H. Upham is
in New York on business connected with the promotion of European immigration to
Wisconsin. There are in Wisconsin 25,000,000 acres of land as yet unoccupied.
The real work is for the immigration commission to acquaint the world that this
land is available at a nominal cost and will make fertile farms for thousands
of families.
An Oklahoma jury, in a
drunk and disorderly case, returned a verdict declaring the defendant not
guilty of the charge and the sitting judge guilty and assessed the cost against
the judge.
Last Saturday morning
the renowned Richard Egan alias “Dick” was arrested on a charge of assault and
battery and waltzed off before Judge Mitchell to make his plea. He was found
guilty and requested to dig up $3 and costs as the price of the sport the night
before. Not having any change in his jeans, he promised to raise it if
permitted to go out and call on a friend. He was permitted but unlike the dove
that was sent out from Noah’s arc he failed to reappear and in due time
policeman McCormick went out on the hunt for his man. Dick was found hiding in
an oat bin and a tussle followed in which he jumped through a window and made
his escape into the country. Along toward evening the prize-winning thirst of
Dick got the best of him and he jumped astride a horse and came to town to
quench it. With the Wild West flourish, he rode up in front of one of the
saloons on the Avenue and ordered some of the sample fluid. Policeman McCormick
with an eye of an eagle sighted his game and shortly after Dick was being led
up the street under captivity with boots off and handcuffed for safekeeping
this trip.

Several of the saloonkeepers
who are shut out under the new saloon limit ordinance will fight the legality
of the ordinance. They will tender their license money to the city and if refused
they will deposit it in the banks to await future developments.
The Union Cornet Band
will celebrate at Eden Park on the Fourth. There will be a street parade in the
morning and a concert in the afternoon. A grand display of fireworks will take
place at the park in the evening.
Kaukauna put up their
worst game of the season at DePere last Sunday seemingly trying to see which
one can make the most errors instead of the best plays. As a result, they were
sent home with lowered colors and a score of 9 to 22.
The hook and ladder
company took the new truck out for a practice run Monday evening, scaling the
north side public school building. Judging from the time made, they will stand
a run of this kind every few days.
