Owners of cows and
other stock will do well to remember the local ordinance which prohibits the
running at large of such animals. The new pound master has received strict
orders to take up all stock found at large within the limits of the city.
Kaukauna lawns have reached a stage where they are too valuable to the owners,
and too beautifying to the city, to longer allow them to be used promiscuously
for grazing grounds. The ordinance will be carried out to the letter and no
leniency shown.
It is claimed the cost
of living is gradually decreasing but will have to keep on for some time before
the average consumer will be able to notice it.
Pope Pius X., in a
letter to President Nick Chiles of Western Negro Press Association, urges all
Catholics in America to be duly considerate of black people.
The Knox Construction
company, which is building an interurban line between Green Bay and Kaukauna
has so far progressed through DePere.
Dennis Turkey, an aged
Stockbridge Indian and civil war veteran, was found stabbed to death on the
edge of the Menominee reservation. Johnnie Frank a Menominee Indian is being
held in jail charged with the murder.

Christ Anderson is the
owner of the first automobile in the city and is justly proud of the beautiful

A fifty-foot section of
the north wall of the Meade & Edwards canal, near here thereof was swept
away Tuesday night by the present high water. The pressure at that point was
something terrific and as the wall was not extra strong it was pushed out and
scattered promiscuously by the heavy flow of water which is at an extremely
high stage.
Arrangements are being
made this week for the cleaning out of the south side canal. The canal has
stood idle for so many years that several feet of mud, cinders and general
rubbish has accumulated in the bottom of the channel. The findings in the
bottom lessons the fall of water and the corresponding power just that much.
The Kaukauna Fibre Company and the Kaukauna Machine Works has been using water
from the canal for power purposes this past month.
Athletes from Kaukauna
High school made a good showing last Saturday in the Northeast Interscholastic
meet at Appleton, capturing third place against a field of twenty-eight high
schools.
The stockholders of the
Kimberly Clark Co. decided to rebuild the paper mill destroyed by fire last
year in Kimberly. The new plant will cost between $100,000 and $300,000.

Judging by the size of
a couple of eggs that have been laid upon the editor's desk this week by Wm.
Rohan of Hollandtown, they must have roosters out on the homestead that lay
like they do out in Kansas. The eggs averaged eight and one-half inches around
the long way and seven inches in circumference at the big end. Will says when a
chicken is hatched from one of these eggs it's big enough for a fry the
following Sunday.
A tramp who claimed he
belonged to Menasha made the rounds of the residents on Wisconsin Avenue. He
was under the influence of liquor and at each home asked for food. At one home the food didn’t suit him, and he
demanded something else. Marchal Conlon was called, and he was brought to the
train and sent home.
