for the year 1926 has been placed with the state prison plant at Waupun by the
Secretary of State.
Four of the five men arrested for seining for

A new kind of cement
has just been placed on the market. It is known as Limonite cement and was used
in paving the street intersections at Draper and Black Streets. The new
material, which has drying qualities that gives it a 28-day setting in 24
hours, was poured into the forms on Wednesday afternoon and then opened for
traffic on the following day. This particular brand was used because of the
heavy traffic at the intersection and consequently requiring that the street be
opened as soon as possible.
Washington – “Last week” an official announcement
from the postoffice department printed an article about the money found in dead
letters. The postoffice is now being swamped with letters from folks in all
parts of the country asking for a slice of the dead letter money, “if it is not
all gone.”
A girl of 14 in Indiana claiming to be a member
of a large family with a widowed mother needs some for education. A man in New
York wants a thousand dollars to pay his debts. A woman in Missouri wants to
buy a house. A widow of 76 in Michigan
wants a few thousand to keep from being a burden on others.

John F. Kilawee of Ontario, Canada, is here
visiting with his father in Kaukauna, He said he made the trip in 32 hours
driving time. It took much longer due to being stopped three times by
prohibition agents along the way. I didn’t bring any of it along with me.
An old landmark which has stood in existence
since 1876 is being razed. The old Congregational church stood on the corner of
Desnoyer and Brother streets. A new church of modern construction is planned.
Wild rumors during the past few days had a
lively story to the effect that Leon “Happy” Van Lieshout was severely injured
in an accident. One version of the incident was that a truck struck Happy’s car
and that he was badly injured. Another version was that his car became
obstreperous and attempted to climb a telephone pole. Leon says the stories are
wrong. He was riding a horse when the blanket slipped under him, and he was
thrown to the ground. He had a few stitches but wants the world to know he’s not
dead.

the vats of Hagemeister Food Products Company flowed into Hell Creek on Monday

division for one year. Officers stated that a private enterprise of employees
was responsible for the violation.
