The Supreme Court
decision that saloons must be closed on Sundays is causing much confusion and
bad tempers. According to the law, the operator of a saloon cannot even enter
it on Sunday, even to fix the fires to keep the water pipes from freezing.
A jury at Appleton yesterday found Ed Bedal of
Kaukauna guilty of selling liquor to a minor, Ray Lummerding, last fall. The
sale was made by bartender Jacob Ruppert, who was filling in for Bedal, the
owner of the saloon, while he was on vacation. Judge Kriess assessed a fine of
$50.00 and costs of $76.41 against him.
Mrs. Valeria Acker of Kimberly aged 24 years
was arrested Friday evening on charge of removing cancelled stamps from old
envelopes and using them again.

the Kaukauna Jewelry Co., J. A. Anderson, proprietor, located in the Stevens
Block on Wisconsin Avenue. Mr. Johnson is a practical jeweler of, nine years’
experience and also an expert optician.
A female temperance lecturer in Milwaukee had
demonstrated to her audience the destructiveness of whiskey on the human
system. On the table was a glass of water and another filled with whiskey. She
placed worms in the water and in the liquor. A man in the audience
asked what the name of the brand of whiskey and if the worm was dead. She told him
the brand and that the worm was indeed dead. He said he has a few worms himself
and would try it for himself.
