The new city officers took the oath of office yesterday. One load of willows has been brought to the willow ware factory. A dance for married folks only at Geo. WOLLNER’s, Deckers Corners next Sunday. The water in the Cedar Creek has risen several feet from the heavy rains we have had of late. Wm. WILLE will be married to Bertha RIEBE next Sunday. Both reside in town Cedarburg. A large number of former Cedarburg folks visited their friends and relatives here during the holidays. The boot and shoe factory at Hamilton started to work last Monday, with sixteen experienced hands from Milwaukee and a number of new ones from here. A teachers’ meeting will be held at Saukville on Saturday, April 26. All teachers of the county are requested to attend. A committee has been appointed by the Fire Company to purchase a new flag, providing the same can be purchased at a reasonable price. The Cedarburg Woolen Mills have received a barrel of Greenbank’s 98 pr. Cent, caustic soda for making soap. It is considered the best article for soap making in the world by those who have used it. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Cedarburg Fire Company received an invitation to attend the picnic of the West Bend Fire Co. at that city on June 1st. At a meeting of our company, it was decided that they participate, but the number that will go has not been positively announced. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A large crowd of our citizens, some twenty-five in number, attended the Thiensville minstrel show last Saturday and reported as being very well pleased with the entertainment given by the amateur club of that village. ~~~~~~~~~~~ At our elevator the business seems to pick up again after a few months rest. The Cedarburg Elevator Co. purchased some 3,000 bushels of barley at 40 cents. Bring your barley to our market if you want a good price and the ready cash. ~~~~~~~~~~~ DIED – In the town of Cedarburg, on Wednesday last, Mrs. James CLARE at the age of about 80 years. She leaves a large family besides her husband who mourn her loss. The funeral took place last Friday, Rev. F. C. RYAN of St. Francis church, of whose congregation she was an active member, officiated. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Among those to spend the holidays here we noticed: Mrs. C. B. CARSTENS and family, Mr. Wm.

BOERNER of Milwaukee, Adolph VOGEL of Nebraska, Miss Anna HENTSCHELL of Mequon. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Would it not be a wise act if a game warden or deputy be appointed here to protect the little game we have left? All day, boys hardly able to shoulder a shooting-iron are seen prowling along the Cedar Creek and Milwaukee river shooting at wild ducks, which are not allowed to be hunted before fall. Will not some one report these fellows and let them pay a good fine and then they will cease to disobey the law. ~~~~~~~~~~~ DIED—In this city on Thursday last, Mrs. John FITZGERALD, mother of our fellow citizen, William H. FITZGERALD, at the age of 80 years. After arriving to this country, she settled with her husband, who has preceded her to eternity several years ago, in the state of Massachusetts near Boston, where they resided for about 20 years. In the year 1846, they came to this town and settled on a farm a few miles from this city where they resided until the death of her husband when she came to live with her son, Wm. H. in this city. The family consisted of eight children, of which four are living, three boys and one girl, all married, two of whom reside in Mankato, Minn., one at Port Washington and Wm. H. of this city. The funeral took place last Saturday afternoon, Rev. F. C. RYAN of St. Francis church officiating. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Having sold my cow last monthly fair to a person unknown to me, she has again returned to my premises.

WEBER, after pursuing the study of medicine in Europe for over four years at various Universities has obtained his Diploma as Doctor of Medicine and Surgery at the University at Munich in Bavaria. In his examination, he carried off the highest possible honors in every branch of medical science. We congratulate our young friend and his parents, who at a great sacrifice, enabled their son to pursue his studies to an end so flattering to him. The doctor has concluded to settle for the present as a practicing physician at Glasgow, Scotland. We wish him abundant success. ~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE The Council has passed the following resolution: Resolved.

SCHUETTE, city clerk ~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE The Common Council of the City of Cedarburg will meet on the 15th day of April inst. At eight (8) o’clock A.M. at the council room for the purpose of acting upon applications for license for the sale of liquors, which may be presented to them. Blank applications will be furnished by the undersigned. Dated April 8th, 1890. F. G. SCHUETTE, city clerk ~~~~~~~~~~~ FROM PORT WASHINGTON The fact that the Bennett law (unreadable word) made an issue in the Milwaukee election, and its opponents successful, and the further fact that two aldermen in the city of Pot Washington failed to be re-elected, seems to have thrown the editor of the STAR off from his base. In his editorial on the result of the election in this city, he makes it appear as if there had been an issue between the law and order loving people of said city, and the degraded, disreputable and immoral people, and the former were defeated. The article is an insult to every person living in the city of Port Washington. I claim that this city is as free from moral rottenness as any city in the State. Where are those cesspools of corruption, and the degrading and immoral practices the editor speaks of? Let the editor of the STAR point them out to the authorities. If they have existed during the last year and the two aldermen in question advocated the enforcement of good laws, then why did they not enforce the city ordinances relating to the same, and bring the offenders to time? It is no excuse for them to say that the rest of the Council did not act with them. It is in the power of every alderman, yes even in the power of every citizen to have the city ordinances e! nforced and to have the offenders punished. And if the aldermen in question did not have the ability, or the moral courage to enforce the city ordinances, it only shows the good sense of the people of the city, that they have called on others to take their place. The editor in his rage says that the decent masses (alluding to those supporting the two aldermen), were like a mob – quite a compliment – mobs do not carry an election in the city of Port Washington. As far as I am able to ascertain, the editor’s imaginary cause for such an article can be thus stated. A few months ago, two or three youngsters between the ages of 17 and 21 (who, by the way, received their education in schools recognized by the Bennett law) got drunk, and instead of going home peaceably as they ought to have done, made a noise on the street, and instead of having the offenders arrested and fined, the aldermen quarreled among themselves as to the best method to pursue. This is the long and short of it, and I do not think that for such a trivial matter, our city deserves to be branded as upholding cesspools of corruption and immorality. – A citizen of Port Washington ~~~~~~~~~~~ (Unreadable heading) Last week we published by request of the Rev. Th. WICHMANN, proceedings of a public meeting of the citizens of Mequon and Germantown in the German language and promised to make some comments (unreadable words). The resolutions adopted are short and to the point they do not differ materially from those adopted by other meetings of opponents of the Bennett Law. They protest especially against the untrue and unjust accusation that they are the enemies of the English language, but that they have “heretofore and will in the future take care that their children shall be well instructed in the English language.” They protest also against the accusation that they are the enemies of our public schools, but “they consider them a necessary state institution for which every citizen should pay the school taxes.” But they protest that the state should destroy their parochial schools by meddling with them and prescribing in what and how they shall have the children in such scho! ols instructed. Hence they call for the repeal of the law or that the objectionable features be stricken out and that they will not support candidates for office who will not pledge themselves to a repeal or amendment of the tyrannical law. A committee consisting of Messrs. Wm. F. JAHN of Thiensville, Martin BARTELT of Freistadt and A. SUELFLOW of Germantown were appointed to call a public meeting before the November election. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON The cattle fair on Monday was well attended. A dance was held at G. FUCHS of Mequon on Monday which was well attended. Widow H. LANGE died last Friday. The remains were interred at the Mequon cemetery on Sunday. Mr. Ed. SIMON, one of Thiensville’s saloon-keepers, will give up the business shortly. As we understand, the saloon is rented to Mr. KNOPP who will continue the business. The Thiensville Minstrels gave another performance last Saturday, and had a very large audience. On account of the indisposition of one of the end men the programme had to be changed just before the performance which affected the success of the show considerable. An extremely sad accident happened sometime ago in the eastern part of our town. Mr. August SIEGELOW, a young man, lost his life while being engaged in the construction of a barn. While ascending the ladder, the roof fell on him, fracturing his back-bone in two places. The young man lived for about an hour after the accident. As the Cooper election law did not apply to the election here, things were as they used to be. The Bennett law was not made an issue, and that was wise. The following ticket was elected: W. F. JAHN, chairman; H. HEUER, P. BARTH, supervisors; Wm. CARBYS, clerk; Chas. PINKERT, assessor; Henry KURZ, treasurer; Fred THIERMANN, Fred GIERACH, Math SCHERER, justices; E. ALTEN, Fred LINDEN, M. HILTY, constables. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON All our schools have opened again. An infant child of Mr. J. HENNING died last Wednesday and was buried Thursday. Our townsman M. PORT is reported to be seriously ill. Mr. SCHUMAN of Rockfield, Ill. Is visiting relatives here. On Monday, H. GROTHMAN returned to Addison to resume his studies in the Lutheran Teachers’ college. Mr. J. LETTO and family will move to Milwaukee this week, where Mr. L. will be employed in the worsted mill. Next Sunday, confirmation of the children in the Lutheran church will take place. Concert exercises were held in the M. E. church on Easter Sunday, and the efforts of the participants were well appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~ SAUKVILLE J. SEIBERLICH of West Bend visited his parent during the holidays. M. EASTMAN, our cheese maker is off on a business trip. During his absence, John ULLMER, who has been engaged in the Holy Cross cheese factory this season, tends to the factory here. A new cheese factory will be started near the town 10 church, and another on the Grafton road about two miles from Saukville. The election passed off quietly and the whole nominated ticket was elected with the exception of one supervisor, August KRUEGER, was elected in place of one nominee. James HURLEY is chairman and John DEMRATH treasurer. Rumor has it that the old mill property is sold; we hope so, and will be glad if some kind of business is started here. Our town board has served notices not to grant any more liquor license than was granted last year. Mrs. Henry BOERNER is visiting at Milwaukee. Mr. B’s brother, Oscar, spent a few days here. Now is time to catch pickerel, we seen some very fine ones caught here. Four children of Claude AUGUSTINE found homes in Milwaukee; two girls with a private family and two boys at the Orphan Asylum. Mr. R. DAILY, an old settler is reported to be very sick. The old stand of J. FRITSCH near the grist mill was sold to Charles BECKER for the consideration of $800. Last Monday the election of road overseer of district No. 9 took place at Nic WILSON’s house. Mr. F. BELL was elected but the contesting party claims the election illegal because persons outside the district voted. A new suit will be the consequence and very likely the Governor will have to appoint one to fill the vacancy. ~~~~~~~~~~~ WAUBEKA Mr. and Mrs. F. WITZIG are at Hartort visiting relatives. Mrs. L. PREVEIR of Rodgers Park, Ill. Is here visiting relatives. Mrs. SELIGER of Fillmore, mother of Moritz SELIGER of this place, died suddenly last Saturday. Miss Addie O’NEIL is at Beloit visiting. Rev. FRANK was ill last Sunday so he could not hold services at the Lutheran church. Mr. DETMERING of Milwaukee spent a few days in our hamlet. Dances, parties, etc., are all the vogue since lent left us. Chas. NEUENS and family of Milwaukee are stopping with his parents here. Louis SCHUELLER of Plymouth was visiting here Sunday. R. L. COOLEY left Monday for Oshkosh to resume his studies at the Normal. Willie WASSWEILLER of Milwaukee spent the holidays with his parents. ~~~~~~~~~~~ BELGIUM A sad accident happened last week about 1 ½ miles south of Belgium station. Mr. John N. HUBERTY, an old man of 76, while going home on the track, was overrun by a freight train and instantly killed. His body was put on the train and taken to Port Washington where an inquest was held. Dr. SMITH, who examined the body, testified that the man’s neck was broken which caused his death. The case is a sad one as HUBERTY leaves an old wife of about 85 years, who is of feeble mind and unable to take care of herself. Mr. HUBERTY was buried at Holy Cross on Thursday last at 4 o’clock P.M. He leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn his untimely death. Died, at Holy Cross last week, Anna, daughter of Henry MANGEL, age 14, of heart disease, and Maria, daughter of John KLECKNER, of about the same age. Both were interred at Holy Cross cemetery, the Rev. L. PESCHONG officiating. The following ticket was elected at our town election: Supervisors, Nic PIERRON, chairman; Jacob SHANEN, Peter SCHOMMER; clerk, Peter JONES; Assessor, Jacob LINSTER; Treasurer, F. H. ANTOINE; Justices, Mich. BINK, N. L PIERRON; Constables, J. B. KRIER, F. PEIFFER, Math. TERNES. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

ENBRING circulated a subscription list last week among some of our citizens for the purpose of purchasing carp, which is a species of fish similar to the black bass and which he intends to put into the Cedar Creek near the HILGEN Mnfg.

The snow was drifted in some places from eight to ten feet high (unreadable words) from east to west were all blockaded, making traveling impossible and which made our city and business houses look dull for a few days. Trains were delayed for several hours, the mail from the south arriving here at 7 o’clock p.m. instead of that hour in the morning. All roads are opened now again and the snow is disappearing fast. ~~~~~~~~~~~ last Monday, the first case of cruelty to animals was brought before our Humane Society. The usual number (unreadable words) gathered here last Monday amongst which there seemed to be one “Smartee,” although his countenance did not show it in the least. One of their number traded a horse with a farmer, who as we observed was under the influence of liquor. When the trade was made, he tied his horse to a post, the “Smartee” sneaked around thinking he was not observed, and poured a poisonous drug on the horse’s tail which made the poor animal kick fearfully for pain. Their scheme was to purchase the animal again for a small sum and thus cheat the drunken farmer. We reported the same to Supt. KRUAS who swore out a warrant and followed the fellow, who was on his way to Milwaukee, arresting him near Mequon. He was brought before Justice WIRTH, and fined $3.00 and costs. ~~~~~~~~~~~ THE COUNTY POOR FARM At the last special meeting of the County Board of Supervisors held on the 27th day of last month, it was considered doubtful whether the present town poor system could be abolished without a notice to that effect in the call for a meeting; hence the following was adopted by said board: WHEREAS, It is doubtful whether this Board can abolish the present town system of keeping the poor and adopt in place thereof the county system, without a proper notice thereof, specifying the object of the meeting; and WHEREAS, The new County Board will be elected next week, we would recommend to the new board to take further action in the matter at a special meeting to be called for that purpose, and that all reports and papers relating to the matter be filed in the Clerk’s office for future use, and that the board will now adjourn sine die. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Bluebirds are making their appearance.

Tramps are numerous now-a-days. W. P. JOCHEM is a candidate for the office of town treasurer. The monthly cattle fair will be held in this city next Monday. Candidates for the different offices are now beginning to feel uneasy. Mr. J. E. REICHERT returned to Chicago on Monday to resume his studies at Rush Medical College. John ROTH had the interior of his saloon entirely renovated and makes a very fine appearance. It is rumored that a cock-fight will take place next week with Grafton and Hamilton birds at the latter place. The Cedarburg Woolen Mills have annexed a whistle to their boiler and the dong of the old bell will no longer be heard. Next Sunday, being Palm Sunday, a large number of children will be confirmed in the three Lutheran churches of this city. A caucus for nominating the different town officers will be held at Jac. BECKER’s saloon at Hamilton this afternoon. The property opposite the NEWS office has been purchased by Mrs. J. SALTER. It is now for sale and can be purchased at a reasonable price. On Monday morning there was quite a heavy fall of snow and the terra firma had on probably for the last time for this season her white mantle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. and Mrs. D. WITTENBERG, Jr. left for Chicago on Saturday morning. They will attend the graduating exercises at the Chicago College of Dentistry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The building for the willow ware factory is complete and the manufacturer who is to occupy it, will move his machinery here from Milwaukee in a short time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last Saturday the lumber for the cheese factory, which will be built by Mr. Ph. PFEIFFER at the Five Corners, was hauled by the farmers in that vicinity. Work to build the same will soon commence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Wire, Wire & Nail & Screw Co. are pushing the work as fast as they can. They will be ready for the machinery in several weeks. Mr. E. G. WURTHMANN has returned from the East where he purchased all the necessaries for the new plant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The water in Cedar Creek is quite high on account of the rapid disappearance of the snow and the heavy equinotical rains of the last few days. The water is however not so high as it was in former years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ We understand that there is still considerable capital held by different parties in this city which they are anxious to invest in good manufacturing stock. Here is a chance for someone having business ability and pluck to form a new corporation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The funeral of Mrs. DUVAL, who resided in this town for a long time, took place last Monday afternoon. The remains were brought here from Newburg and interred in the Lutheran cemetery. Mrs. D. had been sick for a long time when she became insane and was removed in the insane asylum, where she died a week after her removal. She leaves a husband, who is also dangerously ill at the home of his daughter at Newburg, and six children who mourn her loss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Pat. REYNOLDS, a young man of this place, has lately secured a position on the police force of Chicago at a salary of $1,000 per year. The best for such a position mentally is that of a good common school education, but physically it is very severe, requiring almost perfect manhood. Any deviation in stature, weight or personal appearance from the standard, unfits the candidate for the position. Mr. R. passed both examinations very successfully and is now on duty. Well done, Pat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOOT AND SHOE FACTORY Schleifer Bros. of Milwaukee, who are at present operating a boot and shoe factory in Milwaukee near North Ave. station have made arrangements with several citizens of Hamilton by forming a stock company, to locate their factory at that place, and the Turn hall will be used as such. The stock holders held a meeting several days ago and elected their officers. Work has begun to re-build the interior of the hall, which has heretofore been used as a store house for grain by Mr. A. BODENDOERFER. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREDONIA FARMER In attacking the Humane societies our farmer friend is evidently under the impression that these societies are rich stock companies whose duty it is to furnish all moss backs with plenty of money and provisions. Does he also believe that Supt. WHITEHEAD is an omnipotent being prescient and universe? Does he further believe that Supt. W. is able to attend to all the work arising in the whole state of Wisconsin when with all the efforts he is not able to attend to all the work prevalent in the city of Milwaukee alone. He also suggests that they should extend their power to the bipeds of the genus homo, ignorant of the fact that thousands of helpless or abandoned children and persons annually find relief through the help of the humane societies. If he will send a stamp to the secretary of the Cedarburg branch for the latest reports, he will find that his suggestion is far too late. He further seems to hint that the aim of the societies is the arrest and prosecution of all ! offenders; whereupon we refer him to the report of 1885, on page 23 (Annual Report of the American Humane Association) where he will see that during the years of 1883, ’84 and ’85, 3496 cases were investigated by the Wisconsin Humane society alone, of which 68 prosecutions of cruelty to children and 50 for cruelty to animals took place, 613 children were rescued, 51 furnished with homes in private families, 196 placed in charitable institutions, 54 girls rescued from a life of shame, 792 sick or destitute persons were relieves, 138 horses rescued by reprimand to drivers, 234 laid up from work, 25 removed by ambulance wagon and 108 disabled were shot. These numbers have been immensely multiplied since and from them the reader will see that our friend is minus all information of the society. Again in contrast to his argument, there is less need of protection for men than for animals at present. From the first dawning of civilization to the present time, the great study of mankind in all nations has been how to protect men. For this there are parliaments, congresses and legislatures; armies and fortifications; courts, magistrates, churches and schools; home and foreign missions, alm houses and reformatory schools, peace societies and charitable organizations, hospitals for the sick, the blind, the deaf, the dumb, the insane and inebriate; prisoners, children and provident and societies; homes for the poor, aged, orphans and consumptives, all these and many others, ever working for the protection of men, while until the past few years there was not a single society for the protection of (unreadable words). In the city of Boston alone, there are at present 134 organizations supported by private benevolence for the protection of men, not counting the scores of alm-houses, protection and provisions offered by the government, while there is only one society for the protection of animals. The Wis. Humane Society is doing an immense amount of good work, their object is appreciated and promulgated by every moral citizen their Supt. R. D. WHITEHEAD righteously deserves much praise, and it is to be hoped that since our enthusiastic Fredonia friend is so much interested in the societies as to send his suggestions abroad, he will not mind to donate a V or an X or to propose his name as an active member, and if he is accepted as such, he will be able to accomplish more good in that way than with his present modus operandi, and he may wear his badge with pride and honor in Fredonia and elsewhere. Furthermore, he may rest assured that the society will turn out in carpore and do their duty to the best of their ability. – A Member ~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEACHERS’ EXAMINATIONS Ozaukee County – Spring of 1890 Examinations will be held as follows: At Waubeka April 14 and 15, Port Washington April 16 and 17, Cedarburg April 18 and 19.

For his health and probably make that his home in the future. A daughter of Shep. MOORE, together with her husband are visiting her parents. Their home is in Idaho. Gilbert H. SMITH visited friends here Friday and Saturday last. F. A. DENNETT has of late been making quite extensive trips in the interest of the Wisconsin Chair Co. Mr. G. A. RATHBUN has been dangerously ill for sometime. He is now slowly recovering. Little Lenore, daughter of Dr. SCOTT of Kewaunee is visiting relatives in Port. We reported last week that John DIEDERICH had given up traveling for Jacob WEILANER & Co. It is W. J. DIEDERICH instead who has quit the road. Mrs. G. GOETZE spent last week visiting relatives in Milwaukee. In politics, matters are getting warm. Since the caucus R. STELLING who was nominated for mayor and G. BIEDERMART who was nominated for alderman have declined to run. The committee filled the vacancies by nominating Chas. A. MUELLER for mayor and H. L. COE for alderman, both being republicans. The caucus being a democratic caucus and the committee appointed being the democratic city committee, their action in placing two republicans on the ticket has been severely criticized, and perhaps more so because of the doubts as to whether or not the vacancies should not have been filled by a caucus called for that purpose. The assuming by the committee of a doubted power does not give satisfaction. It is even reported that a part of what was done was pursuant to a pre-conceived plan of a few designing persons. If this is the case, the people should show the disapproval on election day. It is too early in the existence of our city to have it run in that way, any attempt should be nipped in the bud. Aldermen GILSON and MORGAN are in the field for re-election. On Sunday night last, several minors were again drunk and noisy. Now is the time to say whether such things shall be allowed or not. Let people on April 1st speak, and speak fearlessly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON To Mr. and Mrs. Chas. SCHMIDT twin babies. Mr. John BUBLITZ has announced himself a candidate for the office of town treasurer. Miss Emma and Carl ZIMMERMANN were in Thiensville one day of last week visiting at CARBY’s. Mrs. C. KROEHNKE and two daughters and Mrs. H. HORST of Chilton spent a few days at KROENKE’s. As calls have been made from all sides, the Thiensville minstrels have concluded to give another performance and have set the date on April 5th. A mass meeting has been called for at Freistadt on Wednesday afternoon to protest against the Bennett law. A set of lamps have been put up at the M & N R’y depot here, which add greatly to the comfort of the traveling public. The improvement is due to Mr. J. A. BENZ ex-station agent through whose influence the lamps were sent. A teachers’ meeting was held at the Thiensville school house on Saturday March 22d. Nearly all the teachers of the town were present. The first topic was primary arithmetic by Supt. KREITZER. The next was a class exercise in natural history for the middle form by Prof. H. G. SCHMIDT. In the afternoon, the Bennett law was discussed. A general meeting will be held at Saukville next Saturday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Grafton is booming. Rent is supposed to be higher by and by. All those houses will again be occupied in a short time. Do not cut your throats because a few families want to leave us. Would it not be wise to build a substantial sidewalk from the center of our city to the brewery? Mr. McBEAN, who is doing a profitable business in Chicago, spent a few days with his family here. Our townsman, Mr. F. BODE, intends to build a magnificent dwelling house this spring. Some of the employees of the Worsted mills went to Milwaukee to secure houses for their families. They say rent is much higher than in Grafton. Is it doubtful? Mr. and Mrs. J. SCHMIDT of Newburg made their friends a visit here last week. The Worsted Mill Co. has begun to move a part of their machinery to their new establishment in Milwaukee, which will put a number of their hands out of employment for some time. Some are also compelled to move to town in order to maintain their job. The department superintended by Mr. Wm. STORY will keep on running with full force, and it is said that all departments shall, after a short time, be in running order again as they intend to send out other machinery in place of those that were removed. Our town caucus was held on last Thursday and the following ticket was nominated: Peter SPEHN, chairman; D. BURHOP and BECK, side supervisors; C. PORT, treas.; F. MUSBACH, assessor; Jno. AHLERS, town clerk; Chas. MINTZLAFF, C. L. DICKERMANN, justice; Jos. SPEHN, Hubert WOLTRING, J. SIEBEN, constables. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAUKVILLE To-day March 26th, our town caucus will be held at P. BACH’s saloon and not on the 30th as was reported. Mrs. P. L. DOCTOR returned from a visit to Milwaukee. Her sister, Miss M. GUEPPE, left for New Cassel, her home. Miss Lucy THELEN of Milwaukee is home on a visit. A new cheese factory will be erected this spring at town 10 church. Mr. EASTMAN, our cheese-maker, has been away a few days on business. A party from Milwaukee was here inspecting the mill property and if arrangements can be made, we will have another grist mill. Our fire company tested their newly purchased extinguishers. They work satisfactorily. Mr. DICKENS, our night operator, secured a position at Hilbert. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

H. WINNER of Milwaukee was in the city Monday. St. Patricks Day passed off very quietly in this city. Do not fail to attend the Coffee Festival at BOERNER Bros. next week; all are invited. At the caucuses held at the Turner Hall on the 11th and 12th inst., the candidates nominated will be found in another column. Mr. James O’NEIL of this town sold his farm to Chas. WEDIG of town Mequon. Mr. O’NEIL will remove to this city next fall where he intends to reside. A dance for married folks only will b held at Geo. WOLLNER’s on the 13th of April. Invitations will be sent to all his friends and patrons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is now certain that a boot and shoe factory will be located here by Milwaukee parties with several business men of this town as stockholders. We did not learn where the building will be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The best bottle beer for family use can be purchased at the Grafton brewery. Quart bottles $1.00 per dozen and 2 doz. Pints $1.10 per case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Mil. & Northern have purchased fifteen new locomotive from the Brooks Locomotive Works, two of which have already been delivered. They are what are called extention front engines, and are equipped with a device to prevent the boiler flues from clogging with cinders. The Milwaukee & Northern, like other roads, has been obliged to borrow locomotives this winter in order to handle its traffic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERNAL EQUINOX Next Thursday, March 20th, occurs what is astronomically termed the vernal equinox, the day when the sun crosses the equator, making the nights and days of equal length all over the world and is really considered the first day of spring. Upon that date, the day and night will be 12 hours and 10 minutes in length, the sun rising at 6:03 a.m. and setting at 6:13 p.m. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ATTENTON FARMERS! The undersigned having started a willow ware factory in Cedarburg, is prepared to furnish farmers and lot owners with scions of the best willows at $2.50 per thousand, and will give the necessary information as to planting. The raising of willows will pay better than any other thing a farmer can cultivate; they will grow on high and low lands equally well. – Frank HEISS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE The Farmers’ Institute held here last week came off according to the programme published. The attendance was not very general. Of our citizens, Messrs. McGINLEY and BARKHAUSEN took an active part. The institution is a good thing perhaps to some farmers, but the pocket money of $12,000 to the lecturers paid by taxes from the Treasury of the State during the winter, is not bad either. We did not learn that the reasons for the low prices of all farm produce and the steady old prices of what the farmer needs, were at all considered. This would have been more important to our farmers than to tell them how to raise wheat and barley, when they can get no living prices for their produce and have to pay the old high prices for everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIST OF CANDIDATES List of candidates at the various primary meetings held on the 11th and 12th days of March last in the City of Cedarburg, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, for the Municipal election of said city, to be held April 1st 1890.

Questions will be furnished by State Supt. All pupils in the upper form, who are contemplating a course at some Normal School, may take the entrance examinations at any one of these examinations. – A. J. KREITZER, Co. Supt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PORT WASHINGTON John DIEDERICH heretofore traveling for Jacob WELLAUER & Co. of Milwaukee, has given up his position. William LANDOLT, book-keeper at the Foundry, has been discharged since the new management and James MORGAN given his place. Jacob ECKEL died last week at the residence of his son-in-law-, M. AUDIER in this city. Mr. E. was in his 91 year and had long lived in our midst a well-known and respected citizen. The engagement of Prof. M. ZIMMERMANN and Miss Mary SCHWIN, eldest daughter of Dist. Atty. SCHWIN, has been announced. Frank WILSON of Cedar Grove was in the city Friday on business. The sheriff took an insane person to Oshkosh last week. Senator LOCHEN of Newburg was here Saturday. Burglars broke in the barbershop of Matt GEORGE last Friday night securing a small amount of money and several articles of wearing apparel. Sheriff WEYKER started next morning in pursuit. Sunday he telephoned from Sheboygan that he had secured the property but not the persons. The following ticket was placed in nomination at the democratic caucus: Mayor, R. STELLING; Aldermen, J. H. JACQUE, G. GUENTHER, G. BIEDERMANN, M. ZIMMERMANN and M. WESTER; Justices, G. GOETZE and M. LORGE; Clerk, James McCARTHY; Treas. J. B. ADAMS; Assessor, Ph. ECKEL; constable, James HEBLING Jr. Aldermen GILSON and MORGAN were on the board last year but did not receive a renomination we learn on account of the stand they took in regard to selling liquor to minors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Now spring is coming. And perhaps more snow. Our milliners sold lots of green ribbon on Monday. The cattle fair held here on last Monday was quite a success. A little son was born to Mr. & Mrs. T. MINTZLAFF Jr. last week. Mrs. MUNIE, an aged lady residing in the northern part of this town, died last week. KIRMES will be celebrated by the parishioners of the St. Joseph’s church on Thursday. Mr. A. MEYER, our prominent carpenter, has contracted for the finishing work of several dwellings at Port Washington, which he started to work at last week. Mr. and Mrs. WARNICKE have been visiting relatives here last week. Mr. Wm. WEBER just received a large number of cases containing beer bottles which almost blockades his bottling department. William will soon be able to furnish the public an excellent quality of bottled beer, which equals the best imported. As nearly everybody is compelled to be out on these muddy roads, dragging along with some cart, milk wagon or some secondhanded concern in order to save their better vehicle, it gives them a good opportunity to get their buggies painted and revarnished, so as to have them in good trim by the time the roads are in good order. Our painter, C. E. WIEPKING, informs us that he is prepared to turn out first-class work at low prices. Buy your harness, whips, etc. at Aug. PFLOEGER; he keeps only the best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON A canvasser of the Mil. Sentinel was in town soliciting subscribers. Miss Bertha REYNOLDS has returned from Oshkosh where she has attended the State Normal School. Mr. Henry KURZ and Mr. Aug. SUNDERMANN have announced themselves as candidates for town treasurer. A baby brightened the home of Mr. P. J. BACKES and one that of C. KNOB. A brass band has been organized at Mequon under the direction of Prof. A. WEBER. We have not learned particulars and will try to bring them in our next. We wish them success. The young wife of Mr. Chas. BERLIN residing in the eastern part of our town died last Tuesday. The remains were removed to Milwaukee for interment. A teachers meeting will be held at the Thiensville school house on Saturday, mar. 22. Pedagogical question will be discussed and as it promises to be interesting, none of the profession should fail to attend. The Mequon public school was closed for about a week on account of the death of the teacher’s, Mr. W. J. MEYER father, who resides at Milwaukee. We extend our sincere condolence to Mr. M. The ROSENTHAL residence will soon be replaced by an elaborate structure which according to reports, will prove another ornament to our beautiful little village. Mr. F. GIERACH has the contract for the job. The parish of St. Jacob in the eastern part of our town, intends to erect a new church on the place where the old one is situated. From the fact that very liberal contributions have been made, we may conclude that the new church will be an edifice worthy of its divine purpose. On Saturday last, Miss Emma ROSENTHAL returned from an extended trip to the Pacific coast. Miss R. gives a glowing account of the beautiful country and grand scenery. She has brought a large collection of marine curiosities from California, which prove quite an attraction. We extend our thanks for the beautiful specimens that were kindly donated to us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREDONIA CORRESPONDENCE No more dog-fights, no more cock-fights in Cedarburg and vicinity seems to be the watch-word at present, after the “humane society to prevent cruelties to animal” has been formed. It is a laudable enterprise, and if the members of the society shall do their duty, they will deserve much praise. First of all I would suggest that their acts of humanity should not stop with protecting the dumb brutes, but will extend them to the bipeds of the genus homo. As a rule the societies of that order, from Mr. BERGH of New York, to Supt. WHITEHEAD of Milwaukee, only seems to see such acts of cruelty to horses, dogs, cocks, etc. while under their very noses the greatest outrages are committed against members of the human family. For instance, there are two brothers each working hard for an honest living. One is a cripple, he owns an old plug of a horse that generally limps more or less, and which he uses for carting whatever he finds to earn some money. If he puts on a heavy l! oad or drives a little too fast in order to fulfill his engagements and not lose his job, up steps a gentleman like Supt. WHITEHEAD and causes his arrest and punishment for cruelty to animals. In the mean time, his brother can find no other employment to earn a living for himself and family than digging and shoveling at the excavation for a basement of a large building to be put up. Quicksilver ranges between 90 and 100 in the shade. The man feels dizzy, big drops of perspiration appear on his forehead, the heat overpowers him – he is sunstruck! A petrol wagon takes him to his home in a dying condition. The humane society does not interfere. They explain that he could speak. Why did he not quit working before he was so far gone that he must die? But he had complained and was told that if he would not work at present he might go home and somebody else would fill his place as long as the job lasts. Now, if he stopped he was out of employment and his family without ! their daily bread. He had to face it, whatever the consequences. But these humane societies are founded only to look after the welfare of quadrupeds and bipeds of a lower order, than the human family. Since they will not even allow a poor man to drive his old plug too fast, it is earnestly to be hoped that the Cedarburg society shall turn out in corpore next fall, at the time of the county fair, and stop those senseless horse races that invariably take place. What earthly benefit do the farmers derive out of horse races and race horses? Farmers as a rule have no use for such horses, they do not raise them, and if fairs are held to promote the prosperity of the agricultural causes, why should those races take place? The owners of those horses are no farmers, even if they own a couple of acres of land. They are pursuing some other business, and if they own land they have it only as a speculation or as a stamping ground for their fast horses, in short, they are farmers (unreadable). The next point to be considered is the treatment of those horses, and the danger their drivers and others are constantly in. Solely for the pleasure of the rich money bags, these horses are driven at a fearful speed, and many a one was made worthless in one of those racing matches. Look at them after their rounds are made. I have actually seen the blood spurt out of their nostrils, and some, after such a crazy driving were crippled for life and unfit for any purpose. Speaking about the dangers the drivers are in, I will mention but one instance. A couple of years ago, at Boston a boy of sixteen years of age, the only support of his widowed mothers, was thrown to the ground with the horse he was riding and literally crushed to pieces under the hoofs of the other horses in the ring. Where was Mr. BERGH, where was Mr. WHITEHEAD, where were the members of the humane society at the time? Probably they were not there; for running valuable horses for the pleasure of the aris! tocratic sportsmen is no harm, and if a poor boy employed by one of those nabobs loses his life in a terrible manner, these humane societies have no business to interfere; he could speak and keep out of that danger if he wanted to. I do not care what sportsmen say about the above, but should like to hear what other farmers think about it. If they think the horse races necessary and profitable to the farmers, they should explain. I am quite willing to hear their argument. – A Farmer (Our correspondent is evidently not a horse man, but many farmers are making more money by raising good horses than from anything else on their farms. These believe in a race track to test the speed of their stock in order to get corresponding prices. Many farmers here sold horses for the average prices, when it was discovered that they were worth thousands of dollars, but the original owner never had a chance to test their speed and compare them with other horses on the track. – ED.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
