Mr. RICHEL travels in the interest of the above firm for whom he has worked up a large trade in this vicinity. Mr. G. COLE, one of the best farmers of town Jackson, Washington county, paid THE ENTERPRISSE office a short but most pleasant visit Saturday. Mr. COLE, though there are three papers in his county, says he prefers THE ENTERPRISE to any of them. Thanks for the compliment, friend COLE. Mr. Louis BECKER, of the Exchange Hotel, Milwaukee, was in Cedarburg over Sunday. Mr. BECKER lodged at the Hilgen Springs Park Hotel. This was the first time Mr. B. was in Cedarburg but says that it most certainly will not be the last, and thinks that the Hilgen Springs Park is one of the finest summer resorts in the northwest. And so it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have been asked by men on both parties to run THE ENTERPRISE in the interest of their party during this campaign. THE ENTERPRISE is destined to be a family paper and when we intend making it otherwise we will "roar". In the meantime, however, we will keep sitting on that fence of ours at present and "boom" for the successful candidate next fall if things don't come to another turn before the fall election. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Hilgen Springs is gaining in popularity, from the fact that several St. Louis families are expected to rusticate at the Springs during the summer and will be here next week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the soiled doves of Milwaukee, in company with a married man from the above city, were madding themselves rather obnoxious in Cedarburg last Thursday and Friday and a repetition should cause their arrest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A case of intended horse stealing from the barn of Mr. HULLIHAN north of Cedarburg was reported last Wednesday night. The thief, after taking the horse out of the barn, was frightened away and escaped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The scholars of the Brown Church school will be treated with a picnic next Sunday, July 18, in the grove in the rear of Rev. STRASSBURG's residence. A fine time is promised them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The trustees of the Brown Church congregation talk of building a new house of worship in the near future. The structure is to be of stone and of the size of the Catholic church. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. B. WEBER, mine host of the Hotel de Weber, has quite a run of the traveling public of late. Mr. WEBER is a good landlord, being very accommodating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RATHER DAMAGING The hot weather right after the successive rains that occurred the past week is not very encouraging for the crops, and rust has made its appearance to an alarming extent. Farmers hereabouts report a very gloomy prospect; about half a winter, with a very bad outlook for the spring wheat. Rye escaped for the reason that it is most ripe and fit to cut and a large yield is expected – barley also is in good condition and hopes of an abundant crop are at present entertained. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REGULAR CONCERT Mr. J. F. HILGEN of the Spring Park Hotel, wishes to inform the public that he will have regular open air concerts at the Park, regularly every Sunday afternoon, commencing next Sunday, July 18, 1880. Uncle Fritz is bound to have some sport at the Springs this Summer regardless of cost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ENGAGED Mr. O. KOENIG of Saukville and Miss Mary KUHEFUSS of Cedarburg. May their betrothal be all they imagined and their prospects for the future bright. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sad intelligence announcing the death of Mrs. Ellen LANDERS, wife of Mr. Thos. LANDERS and daughter of Mr. Thos. O'BRIEN of this place which occurred in Mildoer where she was living at the time of her death, reached her parents here last Monday. Her corpse arrived here Monday morning with the 1:55 express train to be interred in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. LANDERS was ill but a short time and her sudden and untimely death was entirely unlooked for and the news of her demise sent a pang to the heart of everyone that knew her. She being married but nine months, the grief of the young husband must be almost unendurable. She was about 28 years of age at the time of her death. The young husband and relatives of the deceased have the heartfelt sympathy of everyone that knew her. May she rest in peace. Deceased was buried yesterday forenoon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. GANNON has been asked, within the past few days, by two different persons, to give them private lessons in the Latin language. We understand that with a class of, say a half dozen or such a number as would make it interesting for them, and some object to him, his service can be secured and on reasonable terms; Greek may also be studied if desired. Here is an opportunity for a few of our more advanced boys, which they cannot find every day, and which they should lose no time in turning to account; as Mr. GANNON is well known to be a proficient in those languages. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. W. AHLHAUSER of Saukville, wishes us to inform our readers that he will be a candidate for county treasurer to be elected at the coming election this fall. So far as we can learn, Mr. A. has no opposition, and probably will not have as he is a young man of good standing and is well liked by all who know him for his honorable and square dealings with everybody. Mr. AHLHAUSER would make a good treasurer and voting for him would be voting in the right direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A wind storm visited this section last Friday night that was terrific in the extreme. In some places it prevailed to such an extent that orchards were pretty well demolished. In Jackson, it is said that trees were pulled up by the roots. Grain suffered considerable, in some places it was lodged so that there is no more hope of it attaining its natural position again and in that case the crops to a certain extent will turn out mighty poor. Let us hope for the best however. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While on a business trip through Jackson last Monday, we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Hon. G. FRANK, post master of Jackson. Mr. FRANK has a large store at Jackson post office and one at Rice Station. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A BIG SHOW COMING A New Name and a Great Sensation We are informed by the Master General of the Advertising Department of the GREAT INTER-OCEAN CIRCUS MUSEUM AND MENAGERIE that this consolidation of twelve first class shows in one will exhibit in Cedarburg on Thursday, July 22nd, 1880, and give three performances on that day, this being necessary in order to accommodate the masses who visit it every day in unprecedentedly large crowds. The show is making a good deal of stir in amusement circles and meeting with a success that is alarming to all small shows. It seems to be the mission of this show to absorb everything, it having recently consolidated with it that of Batcheller & Dorris' great railroad show. The Springfield (Ill.) State Register after it had visited that city, says of the show: THE GREATEST OF SHOWS The largest crowd that ever attended the performances of any circus witnessed the exhibitions of the great Inter Ocean circus and menagerie yesterday. Thousands of people gathered along the principal through fares to see the grand street parade, and we do not hesitate to say that the magnificent procession made by the Inter Ocean, has never been equaled in this city. The long line of chariots, tableaux cars, etc. made an imposing sight that will long be remembered. The menagerie includes all the leading zoological specimens, from every quarter of the globe, among which is the large war elephant, "Empress," the oldest and best trained. Also the White Elephant the first ever shown here, the Egyptian sea cow, the mamouth sea lions and other leading features, while the museum is the most complete ever seen here. In the immense canvass used for the circus performances, there was not even standing room, hundreds of people being unable to gain admittance. At the evening performance the various acts given were vastly superior to anything ever seen here before. Our space will not allow us to particularize, but we cannot refrain from mentioning the marvelous performances of the Siegrist children, who are, without question, the finest acrobats in the world. The bareback riding of Miss Mollie Brown is undoubtedly the finest of anyone now before the public, while the riding of Sebastian, Scarfer and Rivers, are of highest order. Take it altogether, the great Inter Ocean certainly gave the most satisfactory entertainment ever given here and exhibited everything they advertised. The electric light used by this monster aggregation is a complete success and is a great improvement on the old method of lighting the canvas. The managers are to be congratulated on the successful combination they have placed on the road, and the public may rest assured that they will carry out to the letter everything they advertise. While in Milwaukee on July 3d, when the above show was giving performances, we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this show and found it just as advertised in every respect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The advertising car of the Great Inter-Ocean show stopped at Cedarburg last Saturday, and the general advertising agent and bill posters remained in Cedarburg over Sunday. They left Monday morning for Milwaukee where the car will be transferred on the St. Paul railroad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first really hot day of this season occurred last Friday. It was so hot at from about eleven o'clock to three that it was almost impossible to be under the rays of the sun. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
