St Jacob and local figures figure in busy week
Mr Jones of the Standard Oi Ce hosted Monday events while Mrs Pater Martin entertained the Francoverein last Tuesday. St Jacob sent delegates to the St Louis convention, and a large party attended a McKinley gathering Saturday. A fatal fall killed J Hafflinger, with funeral Thursday. A lawsuit left Becker fined by trustees. Rain benefited corn, though threshing lags behind. Fred Hoel died Sunday, buried in Keystone Cemetery. Wheel gossip notes bicycle trips, races, and a humorous editorial on how ladies and gentlemen mount wheels, ending with a comic obituary anecdote about a long paper delay.
