CORRIGAN, living about four miles south of Cedarburg, in Mequon, died last Thursday and was buried in the Catholic cemetery on Saturday. Deceased leaves a husband and several children and a number of friends and relatives to mourn her demise. Mrs. CORRIGAN was about 40 years of age at the time of her death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was a statement made in the West Bend Times of the 4th inst., that the grafters from Indiana (CORNELL Brothers) were swindlers. The CORNELLs are now in Cedarburg collecting for their work and don't seem to have any trouble whatever, notwithstanding the statement made in the West Bend Times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyclones, freshets, and torrents of rain are again ravaging the west, while on Monday, a week ago, snow fell at Minneapolis. The summer has thus far been one of alternate droughts and floods, while midsummer heats in May have in some places been followed by June snows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY There has been a great deal said of late (by parties that we know don't mean to do Cedarburg any harm) about the Agricultural society project that is at present being worked up for the towns of Cedarburg, Grafton, Mequon, Jackson, Germantown and Granville. As a great many of our readers are perhaps not yet aware as to how the society will do its business, and that they may be misinformed regarding the management, we undertake to give them an inside view as to its management. The following is the plan the association will carry on business: First – To have a specified premium list published at least a month before the holding of the fair – giving the amount of premium of each article in each class. Second – To pay premiums in full as advertised. The above plan will insure the exhibitor that he will receive a prize of some kind, and he will just know what and how much he will received. Each person will also receive a premium list that if he intends bringing something to exhibit, he can at once see what he will receive before he comes to the fair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON CATTLE FAIR The cattle fair at Grafton last Monday was unmistakably one of the most paying fairs for the business men and sellers of stock that was experienced in that burg for a long time. The streets were thronged with people who either wanted to buy or sell something. Horses was the principal object. Over twenty horses exchanged hands within an hour, all of which a good price was paid for. Horse dealers from Chicago were present, buying up everything in the line of horseflesh that could be bought. While at Grafton on the above day, we heard some business men remark that it was unmistakably one of the most successful fairs for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE BRASS BAND QUESTION A proposition was made to some of our musical inclined young men in regard to organizing a brass band here by Mr. G. BACH, of Milwaukee, last Thursday, that ought to be well considered before it is cast aside. The proposition is very fair, and a better opportunity to organize a brass band in this place will never be had in a long time to come. The Grafton boys will assist in organizing a good band here if enough help cannot be found in this place. Can't Cedarburg start a brass band? is a question that is very often asked us by outsiders. Well, Cedarburg has got good musical talent, but there is a lack of energy. Strike while the iron is hot, boys. A meeting of the young men of this place ought to be called at once and we can assure them that if they have any intention of organizing, this will be the best opportunity ever offered them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE FOURTH The fourth of July is not to go by unobserved in Cedarburg this year, but a grand old time will be had. The Turn Society and Cedarburg Fire Company have consolidated with Mr. J. F. HILGEN, of the Springs, and will take a hand in and celebrate the day at the Hilgen Springs. In the evening, a dance will be had at the Turner Hall, and a very select programme will be carried out. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Hot Thursday and Friday. Settle up with the printer. Cherries are becoming ripe. Buy a watch of A. M. BOEHME. Picnics were in order last Sunday. Another cold rain last Monday. Visiting cards cheap at this office. Collections are not good at present. Last Thursday was a legal holiday. Business all over the county is dull. Farmers will commence haying soon. Spring chickens are becoming plenty. Farmers are not satisfied – too much rain. Traveling agents are not very numerous now. Dix Hotel, Milwaukee, is well patronized now. Clothing at BOERNER's at prices as low as the lowest. Aug. BOHRTZ has a card in this issue. Read it. Cattle fair at Saukville last Monday was well attended. Our public schools will soon close for the hot season. A sidewalk is to be built in front of the Turner Hall. Niland Bros., 502 Grand Ave., buy and sell fresh choice butter. Mr. LUEDTKE built a very necessary culvert in front of his house. The Wisconsin Central carried over 800,000 passengers last year. Mr. G. EPPLE is having his residence near the depot repainted. Next Sunday is the dance and picnic at Apollo Hall, Columbia Mill. The Mequon Turn Verein will celebrate the coming fourth in grand style. A lot of fresh fine cut chewing tobacco just received at F. SCHUETTE. The plank road between Mequon and the Brown Deer is being graveled. It is estimated that over 150,000 strangers were in Milwaukee during the reunion. P. T. BARNUM and his great show will be in Milwaukee, Monday, June 21, 1880. Wool is coming in at the Cedarburg woolen mills every day from all directions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PERSONALS Messrs. J. R. and Byron CORNELL, of Goshen, Indiana, are in Cedarburg collecting. Miss Agatha HARTWIG was visiting friends in Milwaukee a few days the past week. Dr. CARSTENS, of Detroit, brother of Mr. C. B. CARSTENS of this place, was in Cedarburg last Friday visiting. District Attorney, James HEDDING, of Port Washington, was in Cedarburg last Saturday on legal business. D. WITTENBERG left last Monday on an extended business trip through this state. He will buy wool mainly. James R. TROTTMANN, of Madison, where he attended the State University, took advantage of cheap rates on railroads last week and came home to visit his parents and friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the meeting held in the Turn Hall by the turners and firemen last Friday night, no definite arrangements were made to celebrate the fourth of July. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for music with a Milwaukee band, and after reporting it will be decided upon whether the fourth is to be celebrated in Cedarburg this year or not. It is hoped that arrangements will be perfected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Patty House swindle at Fond du Lac is bad for a large number of influential and wealthy business men in he above named city. They recommending the Patty House drawing to be all on the square, but since the drawing it is learned that the lucky one drew with it a $32,000 mortgage, and the business men of Fond du Lac knew that fraud was going on all the time. The matter ought to be attended to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We sent out statements to some of our patrons a few weeks ago, who would oblige us very much to send in remittance on same. The amount is very small for each person receiving a statement, but to us, if all remit, it will count up to a very large amount. Don't hesitate now, but send in the amount which will be thankfully received. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following are names of officers of the Cedarburg Lodge No. 105, I. O. O. F. who were elected last Saturday for the ensuing term: John WEBER – N.G.; J. C. KUHEUSS – V.G.; Charles WILKE – R. Secy; G. ANSCHUETZ – Treasurer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gen. U.S. Grant and party passed through Cedarburg last Friday, at noon, and stopped off about fifteen minutes. There was quite a crowd at the depot on his arrival who gave him a fine reception. Gen. Grant and party were on their way to Green Bay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geologists will find a large field to advance geology in and around Cedarburg. For instance, if the mounds at the Hilgen Springs were dug up, we don't wonder a bit but what some great discovery for geologists might be made. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. F. HILGEN, of the Hilgen Springs, will have a fourth of July celebration at his park, and in order to make the occasion a pleasant one, has engaged Chelokusky's orchestra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. BARDENWOERPER, teacher in the Thiensville public school, will remove to Kansas the latter part of July, where he has been engaged as teacher in a private school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hon. A. ZIMMERMANN, of Mequon, left last Sunday for the democratic national convention at Cincinnati, of which he is a delegate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO OUR PATRONS AND OTHERS With this number of THE ENTEPRISE, we mark the subscription price down from $2.00 to $1.50 per annum in advance. Those of our subscribers that paid the former price ($2.00) on this year's subscription we will credit them 50 cents on the next year, thus giving them the benefit of the reduction also. In making the reduction, our present large list will be increased by hundreds. The size of the paper will be reduced one column on each page. In so doing, we can get our paper so much cheaper that we can well afford to take subscriptions at $1.50, and will contain the same amount of reading matter as heretofore. Now, gentlemen, there is no excuse for you not subscribing for THE ENTERPRISE, as the subscription price is within the reach of everybody. But when subscribing, prepare yourself with the necessary amount, $1.50, as such subscription must be paid within three months $200 will be charged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE REUNION Since the history of the city of Milwaukee there never was such a crowd of people in the Cream City as there was during last week – Soldiers Reunion. The mass that poured into Milwaukee with every train was immense. It is estimated that at least 150,000 strangers were there. All the principal streets were crowded and in some instances the crowd was so dense that one found it impossible to pass through without being jammed. Last Thursday was the principal day – when the grand parade took place – the procession being miles in length. It took from 10 o'clock in the morning till 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the last of the procession came upon East Water street and sought their headquarters. Never again will Milwaukee be honored with such a crowd of strangers as was present last week at the reunion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last Monday's storm is one to be long remembered in the north of this state where it has been terrific. Bridges between Stevens Point and Green Bay along the line of the Wisconsin Central were swept away. The rise of water in the rivers and creeks was from four to eight feet. Crops were damaged and in the whole it was the most damaging storm that Wisconsin knew for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT At the Regiment re-union of the Thirty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry, which took place at Milwaukee last Monday, members present were called to order by Capt. Archie H. ADAMS, who present the following resolution: We, the undersigned, members of the Thirty-fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, wishing to preserve the recollections of our old organization and old campaigns fresh in our memory, resolve to hold a yearly reunion the first to take place in Richfield's Garden, Milwaukee, on the 3d of July 1880, and yearly thereafter. At the next meeting, appropriate resolutions and by-laws will be adopted for future guidance. The resolutions were adopted. Prof. Paul BINNER was elected Secretary. The following members of the Regiment joined the organization: Andrew WARD, Adjt. Davit HUNTER, H. BRLEY, Max. BERHARD, S. M. CURRIER, John BROWN, Hiram CALKINS, Mich. BISCHERT, C. DOBBERPUHL, Wm. BENNETT, P. DITTOR, Chas. KAISER, Ph. KLUEBER, Col. Geo. H. WALTHER, J. W. UNDERWOOD, Capt. J. W. JOHANN, J. NEHLS, Fred. WUESTNECK, Alfred P. MARKHAM, E.D. BINGHAM, John BROST, John BILE, Lt. Chas.

S. WINTER. Chas. KAISER offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved: That the thanks of the surviving enlisted members of the Thirty-fifth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers be here-by tendered to our officers participating in our Re-union for their courtesy and liberality shown in entertaining us so handsomely. That the secretary be instructed to cause these resolutions to be spread upon the records of our organization. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREDONIA ITEMS Dull. Local news scarce. Horse trade is lively at VOLMER's. Henry WITT of the firm of MEYER & WITT is going to Germany with the Turner Excursion. He is to be absent from home for several months for the purpose of buying goods as well in Germany as in New York. The pathmaster is fixing our streets as good as the small road tax can do it. In most of the villages, the license money is appropriated for such purposes. Why could not we have the same? A very impressive and solemn ceremony took place at the Catholic church of this place last Sunday, when about forty children were admitted to the church by the first communion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HORNS CORNER ITEMS Crops have never looked better. We have street lamps now, and the next thing will probably be gas. For summer clothing and dusters call at H. SCHELLENBERG's. R. A. BECHER, druggist of St. Paul, Minn., was here last week paying his father and friends a visit. Our wagon maker will use double force after this, he put up a fifty feet high wind mill. The bridge builders are hard at work here now. Mr. RETTBERG, the manager, intends to have the job completed by July 15th. Fred MENZEL, the capable carpenter of this place, is receiving congratulations of his friends upon the arrival of a ten pound boy. Pathmaster STEINKE reports that all the highway tax in his district is expended, which was not near sufficient to put the road in good condition; the tax payers of this vicinity think it a good plan if the honorable board of supervisors would expend an additional amount on our roads. A little ten year old daughter of Frank O'NEIL came very near breaking her neck a week ago last Saturday, while crossing over the bridge that is being torn down to make way for a new one. She was coming along and not noticing the opening where a portion of the bridge had been taken away – beckoning a little dog that she had with her – not looking ahead of her at the moment she reached the opening and fell before she was aware of her danger. She fell head foremost a distance of about ten feet, striking her head upon the rocks. The workmen did not observe her until she fell. Mr. RETTBERG, the contractor, at once picked her up and though she had broken her neck, but on bringing her to the store, found that life was not extinct and restoratives were at once applied and in course of an hour, was by herself again. All the injury she sustained was a gash on her head which she received in the fall, and wherefrom the blood profused freely. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The grading for the sidewalk to the depot is completed. Fred. HILGEN will have a dance at the Springs on the Fourth. Bring your wool to the Woolen Mills and receive your cash.

Six trains filled with passengers to over the Wisconsin Central to Milwaukee daily. G. PODOLL has an "ad" in this paper which may be of some interest to you. Read it. Messrs. HORN, FROELICH, and BOETTCHER built a sidewalk in front of their premises. Our streets presented quite a lively appearance yesterday, there being many farmers in town.

BRUSS received another large and fresh stock of groceries and is disposing of them at very low prices for cash. Ozaukee County will be represented at the reunion by about two hundred soldiers, and it's queer where they all came from.

HILLMANN formerly boss of Section No. 3 on the Wisconsin Central, left last Monday to fill the same position on the St. Paul R. R.

We hope if such a thing is to take place, that it will be carried out. The road leading north between Cedarburg and Horn's Corners is in a most dilapidated condition which ought to be promptly attended to. The Turn Verein and Fire Company will celebrate the coming fourth in grand style, and in order to perfect arrangements, have called a joint meeting for next Friday evening at the Turn Hall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fred. SCHUETTE shipped another large lot of his celebrated "Stub" cigars to New Holstein last week.

BOXHORN, one of our most enterprising young men, being desirous to keep up with the times, has built a sidewalk the length of his property on the north end of the village. The walk is of a two inch plank thickness and strikes a very becoming appearance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction with the pathmaster of road district No. 16, and quite a number of property owners in the above district are complaining about the slow progress made in building the sidewalk. They claim that more and faster work ought and should be done, and instead of working only one or two men, six ought to be employed. The town board at their next session will look up the matter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cedarburg has as good a market for grain as any other portion of the state. The highest market price is paid for all kinds of grain, and we don't see the use of the farmers in this vicinity take their grain to markets where they do not get a cent more than here, and a distance of about six or eight miles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The West Bend Times is the name of a new paper just started at West Bend. The first number comes to us filled with spicy reading, matter both general and local. The Times in politics is democratic and bids fair to become the organ for Washington county democrats. POTTER and POWERS are at the helm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miss Hattie McELROY, living in Granville, Milwaukee county, while going home from church on the morning of the 30th ult., walked across the railroad bridge near there, lost her balance and fell off.

The Democrat wishes him only success in his new undertaking – West Bend Democrat –Mr. MEYER is the brother of F. MEYER, of this paper, and any puffing at our hands would look unreasonable, but combine with the Democrat in wishing him all the success man asks for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PETTY THIEVERY For the past few months, there was a mysterious disappearance of money and articles of great value such as jewelry, etc. from the house of Mr. Henry SALTER, of Trenton. Last Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. SALTER were visiting friends – the hired man remained at home in the meantime who was in the house - a little girl, giving her name as Mary HOFF, entered the house through a window. The hired man heard the opening of the window and upon investigating, observed this little girl enter and proceed directly to the bureau, which was in the said room, opened it and took therefrom about $15.00 worth in jewelry and money, and most anything she could lay her hands on. The hired man did not molest her in he least, but let her go all over the house; but when he noticed she got ready to leave, she stationed himself in front of the window by which she had entered, and waited for her to leave – she not for one moment suspecting that she was being watched, and for the first time when co! ming into the room where she entered the window the little girl observed for the first time that she was entrapped. Little Mary at once gave up all the articles she had taken and was let go home. The next day the father settled the matter with Mr. SALTER, who let him go off rather easy.

The mosquito season is here. Last Sunday was bock beer day. The lumber business is booming here. Are we to have a circus this year? Are we to have a base ball club this summer? Get a bath at the Hilgen Springs every Sunday. Indications point in the direction of a hot summer. J. F. BRUSS has a sidewalk built in front of his store. Decoration day was not observed here last Saturday. WILKE has commenced working on the road last Tuesday. Farmers think that we have rain plenty for a while now. Grafton has very good power for manufacturing purposes. Quite a number of strangers were at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday. Corn and potatoes are up and farmers are preparing to plow them. C. GOTTSCHALK will run his bus daily to Milwaukee next week – Re-union week. Tramps have no business running over the country, they can find plenty work now. A number of our citizens went to Chicago yesterday to attend the republican national convention. A little child of Mr. W. LIESENBERG was seriously bitten last Sunday by a vicious dog owned by Mr. Chas. LEMKE of this place. While Mrs. GRONEMEYER was engaged hanging up wash last Monday, she had the misfortune to fall and break her right arm above the wrist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sheep shearing time has commenced and stock raisers are happy in this respect. We have a due and perfect regard for rams, wether's ewes and yearlings and are even willing to take lamb and green peas for a noontide meal, but if you want to bring your wool to a good market, take it to the Cedarburg Woolen Mills as they will allow you all it is worth and won't grumble at the buying thereof. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AGRICULTURAL FAIRS Within some few years past, the agricultural interests of the county have been greatly aided by the means of agricultural fairs and shows, at which not only the products of the field, cereal and vegetable, and horses and cattle, have been exhibited to the public, but every new invention connected with cultivation has been brought to the notice of the farmer. Not alone have we our great national fair, but we have also our State fairs, county fairs, and even town fairs, in every quarter of the Union. The value of exhibitions of this character cannot be over appreciated. They are more instrumental in spreading a knowledge of agricultural science, as well as creating a generous rivalry among our farmers than any other means which could be adopted. The finest breed of horses, the best cattle, sheep, and hogs, the rarest poultry, and the richest specimens of grain, green crops and fruits, are always to be found at these fairs. The amount of money expended upon them, for getting them up and for prizes cannot fall short of from a million to a million and a half of dollars annually. This subject is recalled to mind just now by the fact that a movement has been not only started, but is already far advanced, by liberal subscriptions, to make Cedarburg the location of a fair of this kind for the six towns viz, Grafton, Cedarburg, Mequon, Granville, Germantown and Jackson, as being the most central and easiest of access. It is probably that all the agricultural fairs of this year will receive a greatly increased interest, and will attract a more numerous attendance than ever, in consequence of the prospective abundance of the crops. The farmers are elated at the prospect, they feel rich in advance in contemplation of their well-stored garners, and will, no doubt, visit the fairs in much larger numbers than usual. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DRAWING OF PETIT JURORS The following is a list of Petit Jurors drawn June 1st, 1880, to serve at the June term of the Circuit Court of Ozaukee county, Wisconsin, for the year A.D. 1880.

Dear Sir: I observe in looking over your last issue, you have been misinformed in regard to the fight between the WEIL's and myself. I will give you a true report as the trial will prove. While in LEMKE's saloon, on the 22nd inst., I was invited by an old friend to take a glass of beer with him. Geo. WEIL, who happened to be with him spoke up and said "he cannot drink with me," and the next moment called me names too profane for publication. I then said that my friend invited me to drink with him and he would pay for it. Then Geo. WEIL's brother, a young lawyer here, spoke up and said, "Let him alone, I can whip him alone," and at the same time repeating the same foul language. I then left the WEIL's when I saw my life was threatened and went to Jacob HAMBACH and told him to get my revolver, which he had in his home, over said saloon. We then started for my home, and when about one-quarter of the way, the WEIL's came behind me unawares, and said, "Now e have got them," repeating at the same time the same foul language. At the next moment I received a heavy blow on the back of my head from some heavy weapon, followed by one striking me with his fist, and then I fell. I then raised from the ground and tried to defend myself with my cane. Geo. WEIL got me down a second time and I received more heavy blows on my shoulders and arm. About this time lawyer WEIL, his brother, took HAMBACH by the throat and he told WEIL to let him alone or he would shoot, but WEIL continued his hold, whereupon HAMBACH fired three shots. Then the WEIL's left their victims and ran. That is a true statement of the fact, the decision of the Justice Andrew MARTIN will prove for to-day, the WEIL's were fined $5.00 and costs each, and placed under bonds of $100 each to keep the peace for six months. Yours truly, Otto BOESEWETTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROCEEDINGS OF THE TOWN BOARD Cedarburg, May 19th, 1880 Board of Supervisors met at Town Clerks Office. All members present.

JOHANN moved that a committee of five be appointed to solicit subscription for the purpose of organizing an agricultural society in the southern part of this county, Granville, Jackson and Germantown those subscribing to do the locating and organizing. The motion was seconded and carried. Moved and seconded that J. C. CORRIGAN, C. GOTTSCHALK, John WEBER, D. WITTENBERG and J. ZAUN be appointed as such a committee. Moved and seconded that the committee be authorized to call the next meeting when they get far enough with the subscription list. Adjourned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT Charles GOTTSCHALK informs us that he has received subscriptions sufficient to enable him to sprinkle the streets of Cedarburg. We are really pleased that Mr. G. has received encouragement enough to carry out another improvement which will help greatly to give Cedarburg a pleasant appearance in dry weather. The sprinkling of the streets will not alone be a benefit to our business men and residents, but will be for the health of every one, and it is much pleasanter to walk on our streets when sprinkled than when there is nothing but an endless cloud of dust on windy days. Mr. GOTTSCHALK purchased a sprinkler in Milwaukee last Monday and will have it here as soon as possible and go over the streets four times a day, keeping them always damp. With a street sprinkler and sidewalks, we can boast of having as fine a village as there is in the state. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chas. GOTTSCHALK has moved the old livery stable back about thirty feet and will build a new building between that and his dwelling which is next to his stable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The grain business, though rather dull at the elevator, is better than expected. ZAUN manages to keep things moving no matter how dull the season of the year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Port Washington has secured, through Hon. P. V. DEUSTER, a harbor appropriation of $20,000. We congratulate Port Washington in being so fortunate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For any kind of first class painting, either decorative house, sign or carriage, you must call on G. WURTHMANN who is undoubtly the best and neatest painter in this place. Give him a trial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ During the reunion week, which commences on the 8th of June, Charles GOTTSCHALK will run his bus between here and Milwaukee daily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prof. BARDENWOERPER picniced at the Hilgen Springs last Saturday with the scholars of the Mequon turn society. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FROM WAUBEKA Warm. The youngest run bare-footed and shoemakers look mad. W. MAERKLEIN feels pleased and proud – it is twins – two bouncing boys. Spring work is nearly finished. Crops look promising and farmers take a deep breath of relief – hope has returned. Tanner NEUNES is doing well because he knows his business. The leather he prepares is justly celebrated of the best quality. The singing school under the able leadership of Mr. DODELL is a very pleasant affair. The young folks make a marked progress in their singing. The Saenger Verein had a ball in their hall last Sunday. The hall was crowded and everyone felt happy, as is always the case on their entertainments. M. RUHMER of the Germania House held a Leap year party last Wednesday. It was a good one but the young ladies were not courageous enough, as was therefore not very successful. A. M. KERSTEN keeps as neat a drug store as can be found anywhere in the county and well filled with all kinds of drugs necessary in the Aesculapean art. He is an accomplished Pharmaceute and deserves a liberal patronage. W. MAERKLEIN, our chief justice of the peace, is a very liberal man. He acknowledged thirty deeds last week and did not charge one cent for the job. He is besides the most pleasant of landlords, and governs over the popular Eagle Hotel very successfully. Michael LIDDY and Miss Kate RAYGAN were married on the 19th of April, also Henry O'HARE to Miss GOUGH, our best wishes for their future happiness. Mr. LIDDY and his young wife left last week for Kansas where they are to build them a new home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROCEEDINGS OF TOWN BOARD Cedarburg, April 27, 1880 Board of supervisors met at the so-called HALPIN's corner for the purpose of examining road leading from thence west, but concluded to wait until fall.

The geese crop is good. Cisterns are again filled. Pay your road tax in cash. Day laborers are scarce in Cedarburg. That was quite a rain last Sunday night. The average boy now runs bare-footed. The street sprinkler is doing good service. The Mayfield woolen mills is in full blast. Chicken raising is said to be a failure this spring. Improvements are steadily going on in Cedarburg. THE ENTERPRISE costs $2.00 per annum in advance. Last Thursday and Friday were remarkably cold days. Pathmaster POOLE is grading for the sidewalk on Depot street. Mr. F. JAUCKE boasts of a very handsome new phaeton now. Mr. T. DUTCHER has our thanks for a large mess of early pie plants. Mr. H. SCHELLENBERG will supply you with fence posts if you desire. The soldiers' meeting at Saukville last Saturday it is said was well attended. Mr. C. VOGEL says he is doing a moderately good business in the cigar line. The corner stone of the woolen mills at Grafton was laid one day last week. The grand opening of the Hilgen Springs takes place next Sunday. Don't fail to come. The rain last Sunday night was worth considerable money to the farmers and everybody. The wool trade at the woolen mills is immense. Forty cents for tub washed was paid last week. A much needed and welcome rain last Sunday made the grass and the grain sprout very rapidly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Geo. BACH made a flying visit to Cedarburg last Thursday. Mr. W. F. JAHN, chairman of the town of Mequon, was in Cedarburg last Saturday. Capt. J. W. JOHANN went to Spencer last Monday morning and will return to-day. Mr. F. L. HORNEFFER, of Milwaukee, and Miss Julia BOERNER, of Belleville, Illinois, were married at Belleville yesterday. Miss S. JOCHEM returned to Cedarburg from Chicago last Wednesday afternoon, where she has been for the past few weeks. District Attorney James HEDDING of Port Washington was in Cedarburg last Thursday attending a law suit, which was heard before Judge VOGENITZ. Mrs. J. W. JOHANN left last Thursday morning in Company with her mother, Mrs. F. HILGEN, Sr. on a pleasure trip to Belleville, Illinois, and will return next Friday or Saturday. Last week Mrs. J. RICE, of Riceville, who was laboring with a chronic disease and who was under the medical treatment of Dr. HARTWIG of this place, returned home entirely recovered. She has been ill for a long time and all kinds of remedies, and quite a number of physicians were treating her, but to no avail. About six weeks ago she was placed under the care of Dr. HARTWIG, who, as stated above, has now entirely cured her. While here, she was stopping at the house of Mr. J. C. KUHEFUSS and the careful nursing given her by Mrs. KUHEFUSS had a wonderful effect, and for which considerable credit is due. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ During the week in which the Soldiers re-union is held at Milwaukee, from the 7th to the 12th of June, the Wisconsin Central Rail Road will run special trains and sell tickets at reduced rates to all who wish to visit Milwaukee at this time. Usually there is no early train into Milwaukee on Monday morning, but on Sunday night a special train will leave Stevens Point at 5:40 p.m. stopping at all stations, arriving at Milwaukee at 3:10 a.m. Commencing Monday morning, June 7th, and every morning that week, a special train will leave Stevens Point at 5:15 taking passengers from intermediate stations, and arriving at Milwaukee at 12:35 noon. Train No. 1 going north, will be run through to Stevens Point, arriving there at 9:00 p.m. A special train will leave Milwaukee Saturday night at 12:20 midnight for Stevens Point. These facilities, and the fact that rates for the round trip, have been made less than half rates, will enable everybody to visit Milwaukee at this time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our popular pop and mineral water manufacturer, Mr. G. BANSE, sustained severe but fortunately not dangerous bruises while unloading mineral water from his delivery wagon to the cars at Union depot in Milwaukee last Friday, by his team being frightened with the seat falling over the forepart of the wagon against the hind legs of the horses which caused them to run away. Mr. B. as taken entirely by surprise and was thrown on the pavement very heavily; the shock producing unconsciousness, in which state he remained a long time. He came home with his team the same day, however, but was confined in the house a few days after, and is now almost able to attend his regular business again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The solders of this town will meet at C. B. CARSTENS' saloon to-morrow (Thursday) night to enroll their names. The list will be sent to Commander M. G. RUPPERT, who will report the list at headquarters in Milwaukee so that preparations can be made for Ozaukee county soldiers during the reunion. Soldiers, don't fail to be present at the meeting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A meeting of those subscribing will be held to effect a permanent organization of the Southern Agricultural Society, Saturday night at the Turn hall, to which everybody who have their own interest at stake are earnestly requested to be present. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some of the oldest and most observing inhabitants predict a summer of unusual heat. The first month is certainly starting out with a determination to keep up the reputation of the prognosticators by following out their programme. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ HORRIBLE A case of manslaughter was reported to have happened in Fredonia last Thursday, where a man by the name of John CONRAD should have killed his son who was a cripple, and has been all his life. The boy was about twenty-two years old. The story goes that on the day above named, the father who is a man of about 60 years, and who is also a well-to-do farmer, got a little more benzine than he could stand. He went home in an intoxicated state and immediately began to whip the boy, and then threw him head foremost down the cellar stairs, from the effects of which he broke his neck. The body was immediately put into a coffin and buried the next day, none of the neighbors being allowed to see the corpse. Nothing more was thought of the matter until a day or two after the funeral, when a little grand daughter of the fiend in human form, said that her grandfather had thrown her uncle down the stairs and killed him. The authorities were immediately notified and the body exhumed and! on examination, the neck was found broken as stated by the little girl. The old man, after hearing that it was discovered that he had killed the boy, transferred his farm to one of his sons, and pocketing a few hundred dollars, skipped the country. The telegraph wires were immediately put into operations, and last Saturday evening, Sheriff Frank DELLES received a dispatch from Buffalo, N.Y., stating that the man wanted here was captured in that city on Saturday. Sheriff DELLES went to Madison last Sunday night to procure a requisition from the governor of this state, and with the document in his possession, went to get the criminal, and is expected he will arrive in Port Washington tomorrow (Thursday) night. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to how the son came to his death, and further developments are anxiously awaited when sheriff DELLES arrives with his prisoner. At any rate there will be disclosure made that will be astonishing if all reports are true, of which we have not the least doubt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE All soldiers of the late war now living in the town of Cedarburg are requested to attend a meeting to be held on Thursday evening at 8 P.M., May 27th, 1880, at C. B. CARSTEN's saloon in Cedarburg for the purpose of registering their names that the same may be sent to the headquarters of this county, and from there to the headquarters of the Reunion, and complete arrangements to attend the reunion. – Chas. WILKE, Chas. GOTTSCHALK ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Chicago & North-Western Railway will sell round trip tickets at EXCURSION RATES from all of its stations to Chicago and return, for the National Republican Convention, to be held in Chicago, June 2. Tickets will be sold May 30 to June 1, inclusive; good to return till June 5. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ F. DUWE, the wagon and carriage maker at Thiensville, reports of having turned out quite a number of platform wagons and light buggies for Milwaukee parties this spring. Mr. DUWE is a first class workman and deserves a liberal patronage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Young HOFFMANN, a lad about thirteen years of age, had his arm broken just above the wrist by being caught in a pulley while cleaning up in the basement of the Hilgen Manufacturing Co.'s planning mills last Monday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ HILGEN & MEYER of the Apollo Hall, Columbia mills, will give a dance in HOFFMANN's grove, close by, on the 20th of June. In the evening in case of bad weather, dancing will be continued in the hall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A first class tanner could find Cedarburg a good place to locate and build a tannery. We have the best location in the county for such an industry, and there is no tannery for miles around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an editor (?) in Port Washington who is of too much importance to be noticed and his slurs against Cedarburg are too unbecoming of a gentleman to be heeded. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS REUNION ASSOCIATION OF OZAUKEE CO. MET AT SAUKVILLE ON THE 22ND OF MAY 1880 The president being absent, M. C. RUPPERT was elected president, pro tem. A motion was carried directing the veterans of Ozaukee Co. to meet at the Republican House in Milwaukee, at 1 o'clock p.m. on the 8th day of June next, and march in a body to Headquarters and camp. All who are able to reach Milwaukee on or before that day are requested to report at the above mentioned rendezvous and march to the camp, in order to show our old comrades and the public that "Little Ozaukee" sends her quota to the great Reunion. M. G. RUPPERT and E. R. BLAKE were appointed a committee to go to Milwaukee previous to the Reunion and request the officers of the State Committee to send a band to escort this Association from the Republican House to the camp, and to furnish horses for the officers. The following named officers were elected to take command of the Association at Milwaukee: M. G. RUPPERT, Capt., Chas. WILKE, 1st Lieut., Dan. E. McGINLEY, 2nd Lieut. On motion, the following named persons were appointed as committee to call a meeting of the veterans of this county to meet at a time and place to be named by the committee, for the purpose of forming a permanent Association. Said call to be made at some time after the close of the state Reunion. Chas. GOTTSCHALK, chr'm, Cedarburg; W. GOLTERMAN, Mequon; Joseph SPEHN, Grafton; D. E. McGINLEY, Saukville; W. W. COOLEY, Fredonia; M. SCHOLL, Belgium; W. ZASTROW, Port Washington. Resolutions were adopted thanking the editors of the local papers for their kindness in publishing the calls for our meetings and the proceedings of the same, and Joseph ALBRECHT, Esq., for the use of his hall. The meeting then adjourned sine die, Dan. E. McGINLEY, Sec'y; M. G. RUPPERT, Pres. Pro Tem ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROGRAMME Of the meeting of the Ozaukee Co. Teachers' Association, to be held at Saukville, May 29, 1880. 1. Miscellaneous business 2. Declamation, J. W. LYNCH 3. Recitation, Miss Jen. DEMPSEY 4. Class Exercise, Chas. LAU 5. Select Reading, John F. COTTER 6. Class Exercise, Supt. W. SCOTT 7. Essay, Miss A. ALTON 8. Class Exercise, S. A. HOOPER 9. Oration, H. BLANK ~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON How about a bathing house? A supply of soap should be ordered to renovate the establishment. Why don't some one see to those public nuisances which are an abuse on civilization, done away with? A very nice rain last Sunday and everything looks fresh except the side walks, they resemble a goose pasture. The new Woolen Mill is nearing completion. The proprietors are enterprising men and will improve our place considerable. Weather warm and growing. Mechanics and tradesmen are wanted here. CRAMER is going to enlarge his photograph gallery. Our saloonists are having a cool time of it in the shade. The veterans of this town are all going to the Reunion to see their old comrades. The Singer Sewing Machine Co. are doing a lively business here by all appearances. They must be putting in quite a number of machines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEST BEND ITEMS Another saloon is to be opened near the Catholic church by a Mr. FEUISTEL. Mr. Adolph DETUNEQ and Miss M. EASTICK were united in matrimony The ordinance prohibiting the discharging of fire arms in the limits of this village is not enforced. The spring term of our schools will not end until July 3d, making it ten months of school instead of nine a year. The intermediate department of our public school had a jolly May party in Judge FRISBY's grove last Friday afternoon. The trussel work of the railroad is being filled up with gravel. A steam plow and shovel connected with the gravel train are employed. The new presses, etc. of the new printing office are being set up in the building formerly occupied by F. HUEBNER as a saloon. It is expected that the first number of the paper will be issued the first week in June. In our last report from here, we stated that this village was in want of a good local newspaper and printing office which has been the wish of our prominent citizens and business men for the past year; has now come to pass – as this village and county will now have a newspaper with good, sound Democratic principles. An anti-Ring organ, with a C. W. POWERS as its editor, and sanctioned by the most prominent Democrats. As Mr. POWERS comes well recommended and is an old hand at the business there is no doubt but that he will make a success of it. At a bock beer saloon last Saturday evening, George WEIL an O. BOSEWETTER had a "falling out," in which some pretty hard words were exchanged. As young Paul WEIL saw it was getting quite serious, he persuaded his brother, George, to go out and go home with him, and after walking up the street, turned to go home when they met O. BOSEWETTER and J. HAMBACH on the sidewalk opposite Dr. KELLER's residence. Both had imbibed quite freely and as the "bock" showed its horns, they had some more loud words, and young George told BOSEWETTER that if he didn't dry up he would make him by slapping his mouth. The minute he said that, BOSEWETTER raised a club which he had in his hand to strike George, but Paul grabbed the club and wrenched it out of BOSEWETTER's hand. As he did that, J. HAMBACH drew a revolver and shot three times at the boys and then ran away. One shot hit George in the neck and another passed through Paul's coat on his shoulder after which Paul struck BOSEWETTER on th! e head with the club he had taken away from him. – LATER – George is again around. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
