Times

The fastest time made
by any railroad line in the state was made by the North-Western from Chicago to
Kaukauna. The train leaving Chicago at 10:30 p.m. arrives here at 3:21 a.m.,
only 4 hours and 51 minutes, where formerly about 7 to 8 hours were
consumed in covering that distance. The new train was put on last Sunday.
Miss Emma Schermitzler, 21, who has been conducting a dress-making shop on the south side died of diphtheria Wednesday night. On Saturday her two younger brothers died of the same disease at the home of their parents.

years, 9 months and 7 days died Thursday night.
The Kaukauna Electric
Light Company has erected, at the corner of Second Street and Main Avenue, one

A story told by an old
physician of times without anesthetics. None was much more touching than the
following: A little girl, no more than eight years old, was injured in such a
way that it was necessary to amputate one of her legs. She proved to be a
wonderful strong little one and instead of binding her she was given her most
cherished doll to hold. Pressing it to her arms, she submitted to the
amputation without a single cry. When it was done the physician in charge
seeking to brighten matters up with pleasantries said “And now my dear we will
amputate your dolls leg so she will be like you.” “No, No!” she gasped between
her sobs “You shall not - it would hurt her too much”

dwelling house and saloon building at Rose Hill, just outside the city limits,
occupied by H. L. Faust, was totally destroyed by fire last Saturday.
The plant of the
Kaukauna Lumber and Manufacturing Company narrowly escaped destruction by fire
Tuesday evening. The loss amounts to several hundred dollars with no
insurance. A barrel of tar being used to
cover the roof of part of the Badger mill took fire Wednesday morning and
flared to quite a blaze. The blaze was extinguished before any damage was done.

U.S. District
Attorney Weigman says that a special deputy marshal has been appointed
to make complaints and arrest every person who takes water hereafter from the
government canal in Kaukauna. He says the arrest' will be made just as often as
water is taken by waterpower users and will be continued indefinitely. As water
continues to be drawn from the said canal and arrests have been made
Kaukaunaites are beginning to wonder, "Where are we at?"
Several dancing masters
have endeavored to start a class in Kaukauna this fall but as yet none have
succeeded.

many presents of value and sent numerous love letters in which he promised to
make her his wife. In July his ardor cooled and in September he told her that
the relationship was at an end. She has since sued him for $5000. Queer isn’t
it how some love affairs turn out?
