vice president, Fred Pauls; secretary, William Volckman; treasurer, F. W.

Water power at Appleton was so poor that the mills were hardly able to run at
all, the river being at the lowest point for three years, due to some extent
to many mills at Neenah and Menasha being shut down, thus preventing the water
ordinarily going through their wheelers to get to Appleton.

Wenzel Schilhabel, a well known pioneer, died Sunday at his home in Ellington,
age 91.
