Where is the street sprinkler? The small boys and their velocipedes monopolize the sidewalks. Several cases of contagious diseases are reported to be in our midst. Music Verein sociable Thursday (tomorrow) evening at Turner Hall. Mr. Chas. KOWALSKY and family were in the city visiting relatives last Sunday. Mr. John FINTZEN of Waubeka was a welcome caller at this office. James HURLEY Esq. of Saukville was attending the fair Monday and gave us a call. “No houses to rent in the city of Cedarburg,” is the cry of a great many people this spring. Farmers having nearly completed their spring sowing and are now anxiously awaiting a warm rain. Twenty-four hands are now employed at the willow ware factory and over thirty at the Excelsior Shoe & Slipper Company. The change of STEIN, WAMBOLD & Co’s ad appears in this issue. If you are in need of a good, fine and durable suit of clothes, give them a call. If you want a good reliable lawn mower or force pump, go to C. W. LEHMANN & Bros. They are selling the bet manufactured in that line. The birthday of Mrs. Wm. TOLL was celebrated last Wednesday, also that of Miss A. GOTTSCHALK on Monday last. Many lady friends attending at both. City marshal KRAUSE celebrated his birthday in grand style last Friday evening in the basement of the Turner hall to which he invited a number of his friends. The monthly fair in this city last Monday was quite a large one, but prices on livestock were altogether too low. Farmers left early being busy on their farms. The prize bowling at the Apollo hall bowling alley will be continued next Sunday, as the whole number of tickets have not been sold. There are five valuable prizes and are worth about $15. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The marriages of Albert LUEDERS to Miss Mary BECKMANN and Herm. UHLIG to Lydia HEISE will take place next Sunday in the Lutheran church in this city. Rev. STRASSBURGER will officiate. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The flag of the fire company will arrive here the latter part of this month. It is being made by Shepherd & HENES art painters of Milwaukee, a copy of which was shown us by the secretary of our company. It is a daisy. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Jos. PEPPER, who resides on a small farm in town Mequon, was arrested by city marshal, KRAUSE last Monday for being drunk and disorderly. After a night’s rest in the city cooler, he was brought before Justice SCHROEDER and fined $1.00 and costs. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A band of darkies entertained a number of folks last Monday evening in some of our saloons with vocal and instrumental music. They all possessed good musical talent and were admired by all who happened to hear them. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Common Council are contemplating to build a sidewalk on the east side of Cedar Creek, commencing at the bridge and running north along HELWIG’s lots to the bridge of the Woolen Mills. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Wm. WEBER’s Grafton bottle beer is in great demand now. He is unable to supply the demand at present not having bottles enough on hand, but which he expects will arrive soon. Try it and you will buy another box. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. E. BUCH has removed her millinery store in the house she recently purchased of Mrs. J. SALTER. it is just suitable for that business, having a show window which makes a business-like appearance. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Those of our firemen wishing to attend the firemen’s picnic at West Bend on June 1st should not fail to attend the meeting of our company next Friday evening. We are informed that quite a number of the boys will turn out on that day. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dennis MURPHY, an old and respected citizen of the town of Mequon, died at his home last Sunday at the age of 82 years. The remains were interred in the St. Francis Catholic cemetery last Wednesday morning, Rev. F. C. RYAN officiating. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Don’t miss the quarterly sociable of our Music Verein at the Turner hall tomorrow (Thursday) evening. Let us all join hands and try to assist our band as much as possible and this can only be done by being active members of the Music Verein and all working together harmoniously. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Wm. THOMS informs us that his sons killed eight foxes one day last week in the vicinity of his farm in the town of Mequon near the toll gate by digging them out of their burrow in the ground. They have been doing a great deal of damage in the neighborhood, carrying of fowl, etc. There are still a number in that neighborhood and those who wish to participate in an old-fashioned fox hunt should pick out this place as their hunting ground. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A BANK IS NEEDED Manufacturers of late seem to have become aware of the many natural advantages present in and near our city for the establishment of their several plants, and from what we hear daily, other establishments are favorably considering their location here. Perhaps we are not yet in need of a stock exchange but we certainly lack one forcible agent toward prosperity in our city, and that is a Bank. To say that such an enterprise would not be supported by our community would be to show ignorance of affairs. It is to be regretted that some capitalists do not at once take steps towards organizing a “money store-house.” Nearly every other city of the size of Cedarburg has its Bank in successful operation and here it is only a question of beginning to be crowned with success. The businessmen should make an effort for such an organization. The Marshall & Ilsley bank would do well to establish a branch here. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON In Mr. Chas. GERLACH’s cheese factory in this village, work commenced last Monday. It is rumored that our meat market owned by Mr. H. ROERBORN will soon change hands. Mr. KOHLWEY Jr. moved into Mr. BERNHAGAN’s house. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. KIRST on Tuesday last week. Mr. Jos. CRAMER spent several days at Manitowoc last week on business. Miss Christine MEYER spent several days at Saukville last week. Miss Katie FITZGERALD of Milwaukee paid relatives here a short visit last week. Mrs. MARAN and family of Brooklyn are visiting their former home at Mr. J. HOLT. Messrs. Alfred and Mark HOLT of Sturgeon Bay visited their relatives here last Saturday. Mr. Alex ZASTROW of Port delivered bulbs, plants and shrubs of every description to his customers here on last Monday. Our carpenter, Mr. A. MEYER, is busy at present with the construction of several nice ice boxes for prominent hotel keepers of our county. Any one in need of anything in that line will do well to call on him. Sunday last, Mr. A. PFLOEGER indulged in an extensive buggy ride with his new outfit which is composed of a dandy little pony, handsome harness, and a fine hand made buggy made by Mr. H. KOHLWEY Jr. A few weeks ago, we referred to the newly organized lime Co. which ere to erect their kilns (unreadable) quarry, and at that time called it a rumor. But at present, it affords us great pleasure to state that their intentions are founded on facts. They say they will take hold of it in such an earnest and business-like manner and work it on such large scale, that they will meet with great success. And why not? Nature makes it convenient for them as the location is so excellent that it requires but little labor to get everything in running order. Also the rock being of superior quality and in such inexhaustible quantity that the business, when once established, may be looked upon as a permanent institution. A side-track of the M & N will be connected with their kilns, which is also a great step of prosperity to our village. The company is composed of Messrs. MINTZLAFF, LIESENBERG & TURNER, who are shrewd and enterprising gentlemen. Their earnest endeavor is also to put ! their shoulders to the wheel and shove the cart towards our village, and do all they can in our interest. Now citizens of Grafton, our cart will after a few more hard exertions be completed, and then let us with united force put our shoulders to the wheel and perseveringly try to meet the other cart. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON The farmers in this vicinity are busy at sowing. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. ALBRECHT Sen., of Saukville were here Sunday. The Mequon brass band is in a flourishing condition. The construction of the ROSENTHAL and the ZEUNERT residences is proceeding rapidly. Most of our teachers attended the meeting at Saukville. An infant child of Mr. J. MAUS of the eastern part of the town died last week. Mr. Albert HARTWIG, who has been engaged in GERLACH’s brewery for a number of years, has left. Mr. Robert KURZ is staying with his parents for a week. He will shortly leave for Milwaukee to re-engage in business. On April 23, Mr. Parahain HILTY died at the residence of his son in Milwaukee, reaching the mature age of 84 years. The deceased has been an old settler of the town of Mequon, living on his farm near Thiensville, and was well known and highly respected. The last years he spent with his son, Mr. M. HILTY of Milwaukee. His wife survives him. The remains were interred in the Mequon cemetery. Requiescat in pace. ~~~~~~~~~~~ BELGIUM (Received too late for last week’s issue) On Saturday, the remains of Mr. Dominick MAYER were interred at the Catholic cemetery of Holy Cross. Mr. MAYER was an old settler and a well-to-do farmer, who lived 1 ¾ miles north of Holy Cross. He will be sadly missed by his many friends and neighbors who had gathered in large numbers to do him the last service. He was 73 years old and leaves a wife and family of grown up children in good circumstances. The wife of Mr. N. HUBERTY – the old man who was overrun and killed by a freight train on the Lake Shore road two weeks ago, died last week. She was 83 years old and of feeble mind of old age. She lived with one of her neighbors since the death of her husband, and was buried at Holy Cross cemetery. The roads are improving quickly and the farmers busy sowing. James CASSIDY has returned from Ill. where he bought a very nice stallion. A grand ball was held at Jac. MERTZ’s on the 27th inst.

FREDRICKS will go in partnership with O. WADOWITZ in the meat market business. Kate MUELLER is home spending a few days with her parents. Will ZEHN of Cascade is making a cheese at Kohler for C. H. WITT. Ida WENTZEN visited her sister, Mrs. VOEKS, at Milwaukee last week. Last Sunday 14 children were confirmed at the Lutheran church by Rev. FRANK. Albert BOLENS of the STAR came here on a velocipede Monday and enjoyed a pleasant drive. The steamer made by COOLEY & WITZ for turning bolts, for cutting rims, for cheese boxes was a great success. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

He registered under the name of John SHERMAN while here. ~~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT PASTOR WESEMANN OF GRAFTON SAYS ABOUT THE BENNETT LAW In a letter directed to us, Pastor Fr. WESEMANN of the Ev. Luth. St. Paul’s church of Grafton, expresses his full approval of the position. The NEWS has taken on the Bennett law issue. He points out that the prohibition element favoring that law can only result in strengthening the position taken by the church people and by all liberal minded men without regard to party. The pastor quotes the closing of an article published in the Western Good Templar to which we alluded in a former number as follows: “the town (Horicon) is now cursed with several saloons, a brewery and a Lutheran church. It is made up of ignorance, superstition and drunkenness.” The pastor fully indorses our opinion as to the decision of our Supreme Court on the use of the bible in our public schools and as to praying in the legislature; he as a Lutheran, does not wish to be compelled to attend prayers by any clergymen or Jewish Rabbi. We have read several articles of Pastor WESEMANN contribute! d by him to the “Lutheraner” published at St. Louis which he kindly sent us, relating to compulsory school attendance and to school matters generally, with much interest. The gentleman shows himself to be a worthy follower of his Lord and Master, whose teachings he says, a portion of the protestant ministers only follow when it is not opposed to their own fanatical ideas on temperance and prohibition, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~ “OFFICIAL” PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL Common Council met pursuant to last adjournment on Tuesday being the 15th day of April 1890 at 9 o’clock a.m. In the absence of the clerk, the council adjourned until 7 o’clock p.m. 7 o’clock Council met pursuant to adjournment at 7 o’clock p.m. Council called to order by the Mayor F.

WOLLNER of Deckers Corner has postponed his dance for married folks only to next Sunday the 20th inst. All are invited to attend. We believe that within a few weeks, work on at least a dozen new dwelling houses will begin. Too bad that the census will be taken up before the new comers will be living in them. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The work of rebuilding the old WEHAUSEN property, the building of the Cedarburg Wire, Nail and Screw Company, is progressing rapidly. All the lumber and timber has already been hauled. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. H. ROPETER, we are glad to announce, has secured a pension besides all back pension which has not been paid since he applied for one about three years ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The dwelling house opposite this office which was recently purchased by Mr. E.

Apply at HILGEN’s Spring Park or at FRIEDMANN’s restaurant on East Water street in Milwaukee. ~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the time of year that house cleaning, papering, etc. is in order.

F. ZAUN was agreeably surprised by a number of his friends who came to celebrate with him the 22nd anniversary of his birthday. The mixed chorus of which he is a member serenaded him with a fine selection. The rest of the evening was spent in singing and dancing at the Apollo Hall opposite his home. ~~~~~~~~~~~ “HANG HIM OR DO SOMETHING WITH HIM” “In Cook county, Ill., they would rather hang a man than keep him. At the present session of the criminal court now being held in Chicago, Judge HAINES insisted upon the production before him of a man named Henry SUTLER, who has lain in jail without trial for twenty-one months. ‘We’ll have to hang him or do something with him.’ Remarked the genial judge to the city’s attorney; ‘the county can’t afford to keep a prisoner so long.’” – Ex. We have a similar case in this county. A man by the name of KLOETY is ostensibly a prisoner, having been committed by Judge SLOAN sometime last year for contempt of court in not paying alimony to his wife. He has first rate boarding, loafs about the city of Port Washington and within the so-called jail limits, but never fails to call for his meals which he eats with great appetite. He is said to be worth something like fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, but has signed over his property it is alleged for the purpose of evading the payment above mentioned. He is a miser of the first class and this punishment (?) just suit him. He is getting fat and never enjoyed life more than he does now, because it costs him nothing. “We’ll have to hang him or do something with him” else he will bankrupt the county with his boarding bill. Why is it that the attorneys for the wife do not try to get the deeding of his property set aside as fraudulent? ~~~~~~~~~~~ “OFFICIAL” PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL The last meeting of the old Common Council was held on Tuesday, being the 8th day of April 1890 at 9 o’clock a.m. Present, Mayor F. W. HORN, Aldermen BECKMANN, HILGEN and WEBER; absent, aldermen FROEHLICH and ZAUN. The minutes of last proceedings was read by the clerk and approved. On motion council adjourned sine die. – F. G.

SCHUETTE, city clerk ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON Mr. and Mrs. F. BURKE of Chilton, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. KROEHNKE last week. Mr. ZEUNERT is erecting a house on his lot situated on the Plank road north of Thiensville. Mr. August KROEHNKE, who was employed for some time in the Thiensville Mills, returned to his home at Chilton. Last Thursday, Mr. Aug. GERLACH, our brewer, celebrated his birthday. A large number of his friends gathered at his house and the Mequon Band serenaded Mr. G. Those present report to have enjoyed the evening very much. A false alarm, or what was thought to be an alarm, brought out the Thiensville Fire Co. on Wednesday afternoon of last week. It is the understanding between the members of the company and BUBLITZ Bros., the saw mill owners, that when the service of the former is needed to continuously blow the whistle of the steam engine used by them. Now, on that day, the whistle began to emit its discordant shrieks with such zeal and perseverance that the entire community was aroused. In a jiffy the engine and hose cart were manned and swift horses were flying with them to the scene of the supposed blaze. But our brave company, ever hungering to fight the red demon, was greatly surprised upon reaching the saw mill not to see any signs of fire. They were then informed that control was lost over the mechanism of the whistling attachment of the engine and that the noise could not be stopped. A few minutes later some wise head, by plugging the whistle with a bag, succeeded in smothering ! the sound. Although this trip was a needless exertion on their part, the members of our company returned home with the satisfaction of having shown their fellow citizens that they are always ready to serve them. ~~~~~~~~~~~ SAUKVILLE L. SEIBERLICH left for Stillwater, Minn. where he will work at the carpenter trade. Mrs. A. M. ALLING is confined to bed from the effect of a fall about a week ago. We hope she will soon be around again. Last Saturday morning about one o’clock, fire broke out at the residence of Chas. JOHNSON near the bridge. The fire bell rang to summon the firemen who now had an opportunity to show their skill. They worked hard and in a short time, the fire was extinguished which proves that the little engine does as good work as a larger one. The fire originated near the chimney. A good deal of damage was done to furniture, etc. by water; the house was insured in the Germantown Ins. Co. Our cattle fair held here Monday was the largest this season. Many horses changed hands and cattle sold well but at comparatively low prices. Nic WILSON at the depot is busy purchasing barley of which there is quite an amount coming in. Mrs. Henry BOERNER returned home from a visit to Milwaukee. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Cattle fair next Monday. Grafton is doing well. Mr. Fred. KOHLWEY Jr. of Milwaukee spent Sunday with his relatives here. Mrs. P. BRUNSLICK of Chicago and Miss C. HILLER of Saukville spent Thursday with friends here. Mrs. C. GERLACH returned Friday after a week’s visit to Hilbert. We are glad to report that Mrs. H. HEUER is recovering after an illness of several weeks. Mr. J. BENTLY left for Louisville, Ky. on Monday where he has secured work in a worsted mill. His family will follow later. Miss EGRE gave a charming young folks’ party last Saturday eve in honor of the birthday of her niece Miss Ida LEONARD. Mr. M. BARTH and family moved into Mr. LETTO’s home. Mr. Wm. COULSON procured work in the chair factory at Port. Last Saturday, Mr. GILES left here for Milwaukee also Mr. MURGHATROY and family. The wool-sorters employed here left for Milwaukee Monday to resume their work, though their families remain here for the present. It is rumored that Messrs. LIESENBERG, Chas. MINTZLAFF, and E. S. TURNER have joined partnership to go into the lime business. They intend to build their kilns at TURNER’s quarry near the cross road. Having announced at intervals that some citizens left us, and at present leaving us by the score, our neighboring cities and villages may come to the conclusions that there will be nothing left of Grafton. Not by long shot! Grafton is still alive, and it being so densely populated, we hardly notice the decrease. But citizens of Grafton, wake up! Put your shoulders to the wheel! We have the best manufacturing facilities in the county, and as our syndicates nearly extend to the limits of the enterprising city of Cedarburg, we presume that after some they will reach us their hand. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
