Kaukauna Times

Peter Cumpton and eight
children have been living since spring in a granary 10 by 16 on the farm 3
miles north of Appleton. The youngest of the children is less than a year old,
while the oldest is scarcely 12. Humane Agent Walkie’s attention has been
called to the matter, and it is believed that at least four of the children
will be sent to the Sparta home.
The Woman's Club of
this city recently received a letter from Miss Julia A. Laphane of the
Wisconsin Archeological Society in regard to preserving the Indian mounds known
to be in existence at this point, or rather what is left of them. There were
formerly on the Grignon flat, at an early day, as many as thirty well defined
and good-sized Indian mounds running in size from ten to thirty feet in
diameter and from four to six feet in height, most of them being nearly round
in form, and a few oval shapes.
The finishing touches
are being put on the sister’s house of Holy Cross congregation this week. They
have occupied it for some time, but the porches are not yet quite done not only
lacking the paint, however.
The Kaukauna Girls high
school basketball players have at least secured a suitable place for practice
having hired Heindel’s hall where they will hold practice games three times
each week. Kaukauna has the disadvantage of being almost new in the art of
basketball playing but having two weeks practice is fast rounding into shape
and the enthusiasm with the players entering the game will soon be able to
score against perhaps older teams.

The most remarkable
cheese season in the history of Outagamie County will close at the last of the
month. The output is a record breaker and high prices ruled throughout the
summer. At present cheese is selling at from 13 to 14 cents a pound, which is
the highest it was ever known to be at this time of year. The prices during the
season average about 5 cents higher than last year. Every factory in the county
was run at full capacity notwithstanding that more butter was made than any
other season.
Oxford, Mich. - At the meeting when
the question was brought up a good deacon and said, “All those in favor of
retaining brother Hageman for another year at the same salary please rise.” Not
a person rose and the minister who was present felt as uncomfortable as
possible and hardly wished himself anywhere but there. Then the good deacon who
had put question rose up again and said, “I see that no one favors that motion
so I will put it again this way “All those in favor of keeping the Reverend Hageman
at an increased salary please rise, everyone got to their feet then it dawned
on Reverend Hageman that he was a victim of a joke.

The Southside Gun Club
will hold a prize turkey shoot and venison bouillon at their grounds on
Beaulieu Hill next Sunday, November 25. The one making the highest score out of
a possible 25 birds will be awarded a fine turkey and the two making the next highest
scores will each get a chicken. All members are requested to turn out and try
to win a Thanksgiving bird. Booyah will be served at 10:00; shoot will take
place at 2:30 p.m.
The deer hunters of Kaukauna
have all returned from the northern woods and most of them brought home either
one or two deer each. Fred Hoehne killed one near Leona and August Denzer who
was with him shot two, they returned Sunday evening.
The city board of
education met Tuesday evening and passed a resolution recommending that the sum
pf $4,800 be placed in the annual tax levy as the amount that will be necessary
to maintain the Kaukauna High School for the ensuing year.
