Wisconsin divorce and canal talk mix with Algona notes
A long Algona column blends commentary on temperance and divorce statistics with local notices. It mentions Rev E M Evans's chautauqua remarks on Wisconsin beer, Iowa divorce rates, Panama Canal Exposition doubts, and local political race chatter. Also covers pension funding strains, a Paris Countess lawsuit over hats, a mumps feud in Almond New York, and campus-town updates plus wedding news and ads.
