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. Examinations will begin at 9:30 a.m. the first day. All those intending to teach should be very familiar with the “manual”. Applicants should provide themselves with pen and legal cap paper.

On motion board adjourned until the 8th day of April ’90 at 9 o’clock a.m. – F. G. SCHUETTE, City Clerk ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PORT WASHINGTON Prof. Rollo P. ECKEL gone to Denver, Col. 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!
