Celebrate Decoration Day in Cedarburg. Get ready to answer the numerous questions that will be asked by the census takers. A. R. BOERNER and wife of Milwaukee were in the city Monday last. Henry BECK, our baker, is ready to supply the public with ice cream every Sunday during the hot summer months. Mr. DUNNWELL of Waukesha has been engaged as assistant superintendent in the Cedarburg Woolen Mills. Mrs. E. BUCH has removed to her newly purchased residence and now offers her former dwelling for rent. No excuse for idle men around town at present. Everyone can get employment that has any ambition to work. Mr. H. LIPPERT of Milwaukee was in the city Sunday the guest of J. Fred. WITTENBERG. Mr. Michael DALEY, who removed to Kansas a number of years ago, is in the city visiting his relatives and friends. Geo. KUHEFUSS, Eugene GANNON, John FROEHLICH and John AHRENDT of Milwaukee spent the holidays at home. Mrs. G. A. BOERNER gave a delightful afternoon coffee to a large number of her lady friends Tuesday afternoon. Messrs. J. H. and D. WITTENBERG, Sr. returned last Saturday evening from an extended trip to the pineries. The cattle fair in this city last Monday was a large one. It being a holiday and the fine weather drew crowds of people from far and near. Three apprentice girls wanted for dressmaking. Apply at Miss SUNDERMANN, NEROâ?Ts Store, Cedarburg ~~~~~~~~~~~ F. JAUCKE of the Washington House has renovated the interior of his barroom and sitting room by having the same repainted and papered. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A very large crowd of our citizens besides the members of our Fire Company will take in the picnic at West Bend next Sunday, providing the weather is favorable. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Cedarburg Band was out for a rehearsal in the woods near the Wire Nail Mills, to practice their new military music they recently received. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The May ball at the Turner Hall last Sunday evening was very largely attended, a large number of outsiders being present. They all report having spent a most pleasant evening. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Jno. DIETRICH has been appointed census enumerator for the town and John F. BRUSS for the city of Cedarburg. They commence to canvas their territory by the first of next month. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The new flag of the Cedarburg Fire Co. has arrived and has been accepted by the company. It is elegantly designed of superior workmanship and much credit is due the firm of Shepherd & Henes of Milwaukee who furnished the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Some miscreant robbed the money drawer of W. P. JOCHEMâ?Ts saloon last Saturday forenoon while Mr. J. was engaged at work outside. Luckily the contents in the drawer amounted to the small sum of $3.15 and the thief did not gain much by his job. Suspicion however rests on a certain man and if the matter can be investigated more closely, it will place the fellow in an uncomfortable position. ~~~~~~~~~~~ As usual the cattle fair was well supplied with horse traders and horses of all descriptions. The Humane Society had their hands full looking after the owners of some of the half-starved critters that were tied to the posts and fences. One of these â?ohorse jockeysâ? while on his way to this city with a number of horses, lost one of them on the plank road a few miles from here by being unable to walk any further, probably from the effect of drug. The Humane Society were notified and arrested the owners who were brought before Justice SCHROEDER and fine $5.00 and costs. ~~~~~~~~~~~ DIED â?" In this city on Saturday last, May 24, 1890, Mrs. Francis JAEGER, nee KAISER, aged 33 years. Deceased was born and raised in this city and consequently has a large number of friends, who together with her husband and five children, mourn her untimely demise. About a year ago, that fatal disease, consumption, fastened itself upon her, until death finally relieved her of all her sufferings. Parents, brothers, sisters, and friends mourn the loss of one most near and dear and the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to the deeply bereaved in this great affliction. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from her late residence in this city, accompanied by a large number of relatives and friends. Rev. E. G. STRASSBURGER of the Ev. Luth. church conducted the funeral services. ~~~~~~~~~~~ HON. AMOS THOMAS Assemblyman from Granville, Milwaukee county, who was taken sick soon after the Legislature adjourned in 1889, is now being taken care of by his son in Tamora, Neb., cashier of the Tamora State Bank, who wrote us under date of May 19: â?oFather is in a kind of stupor and knows but very little of what is said to him. He generally recognizes his old acquaintances, but can only say on odd word now and then that can be understood. The doctors have no hopes of his ever getting better.â? The many friends of Mr. THOMAS here and elsewhere will be sorry to hear the bad news. We have known him nearly fifty years, ever since he was a boy of 17 years old; he always resided in the town of Granville since coming with his parents from Indiana in 1839. ~~~~~~~~~~~ SLANDERING PORT WASHINGTON The Milwaukee Sentinel of Monday last had a sensational dispatch on its front page with large headlines from Port Washington to the effect that two men were instantly killed and another fatally hurt while raising a cottage on Sunday previous. This piece of news was reproduced in the afternoon city papers with appropriate comments. The Milwaukee NEWS of the same afternoon says of the event: â?oIt seems to be as dangerous to raise a house on Sunday in that place as it is to build one on the sand. But the house raisers can find consolation in the fact that the Lord chasteneth whomsoever he loved.â? People in Port do not move houses on Sundays and consequently nobody can get hurt. ~~~~~~~~~~~ PORT WASHINGTON The U.S. dredge came here Sunday afternoon. We hope no lumber king will desire its use before the harbor is dredged out. It has seemed heretofore that it has been sent here for repairs or pass away time. The Dist. Atty. was at Juneau in the equalization meeting of the towns of Mequon and Grafton. The matters were dismissed because of defects and blunders in practice and without any consideration of the merits. Thus the county has been put to another needless expense and this time by the economist from Mequon. The editor of the â?oleading paper of Ozaukee Countyâ? is setting type in Chicago. His wife and child are with her parents at Genesco, Ill. The KEITEL-COOLEY case before referee THOLEN was argued Monday. Property in Port is booming, numerous transfers having been made. S. S. BARNEY of West Bend was in the city the fore part of the week. E. R. BLAKE has made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. The assets consist mainly of running and rolling stocks. Many of our people attended the German Catholic conclave in Milwaukee Monday and Tuesday. The U. S. supply steamer, Dahlia, was in port last week. H. W. LYMAN of the Western Malleable and Grey Iron Co. was in St. Paul last week on business. M. GLAESNER visited his children in Chicago. He returned last Thursday. John HUEBSCHEN, ex-treasurer of the town of Grafton, was in the city last Friday on business. Echardt State who many years has done the draying in the city has sold out to Craft and Eidenberger last week. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON Mr. Chas. SOMMER, father of Mr. O. SOMMER, died at his home in the southern part of the town on May 19th. Mr. F. W. NOHLING has resigned his position as station agent on the M & N Ry. here. The brightly painted delivery wagon of Mr. C. SEYFERTâ?Ts general store at Mequon, attracted quite a little attention. Among the visitors over Sunday were Messrs. W. C. KOEHNE of Chicago, C. ZIMMERMANN and A. EHLERS of Milwaukee and Mr. and Mrs. H. ROSE of Chicago. Last week two men in the employ of the M & N Ry. Co. had a narrow escape from being precipitated over the dam. They were in a boat, and not being able to row, lost control over it and the current was fast pulling the boat to the dam, over which it was carried by the water, the two men having jumped out and safely reached shore. Mrs. J. MEYER, formerly of Fredonia and now residing near Los Angeles in California, is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. F. JAHN. The husband of Mrs. MEYER is the owner of an extensive tract of land in California, which is very favorably adapted to the raising of grapes and other fruits. On Monday, Miss Clara BACKES, daughter of Mr. Mathias BACHES, died after being ill for some time. The young lady was 19 years of age, the pride of her parents and highly esteemed by her friends and her death is deeply felt. The family has our most sincere sympathy. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Fruitful weather, this. Mr. and Mrs. W. NORMAN of Appleton spent Sunday with their friends and relatives here. Mr. H. ROEVER of Newburg was here on business Monday. Mrs. WARNICKE of St. Paul is visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. SCHMIDT. Mrs. W. BECKER of Milwaukee spent a few days with relatives here this week. Mrs. NOBLE left on Monday to make Colefax her future home. The families of Messrs. R. RILEY and D. KELLEY leave for Milwaukee this week. Mr. Kâ?Ts house will be occupied by Mr. L. SPEHN. A change of agents lately took place at the station here. Mr. METCALF went to Marinette, while Mr. JONES from that place came here and is occupying Mr. Geo. FLEISCHMANNâ?Ts house. Mr. H. ROERBORN has sold his butcher business and real estate to Mr. Oscar MEYER, late butcher at Waukesha, who will take charge of his new duties and concerns next week, and will doubtless carry on a first-class business. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The city marshall has received positive instructions from the Mayor to arrest any and all persons violating said ordinance. The city has continued very liberally toward the property of the Driving Association and the race course should be put in order and use for that purpose and the streets left to their legitimate use and not turned into a racing ground. Complaints may be made to any of the aldermen or to the mayor, who will see that proper order is kept in the city hereafter. ~~~~~~~~~~~ FRIEDMANN’S SUMMER RESORT Hilgen’s Spring Park This beautiful summer resort and park will again be formally opened to the public on June 15th, next, for the summer season.
