We believe that within a few weeks, work on at least a dozen new dwelling houses will begin. Too bad that the census will be taken up before the new comers will be living in them. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The work of rebuilding the old WEHAUSEN property, the building of the Cedarburg Wire, Nail and Screw Company, is progressing rapidly. All the lumber and timber has already been hauled. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. H. ROPETER, we are glad to announce, has secured a pension besides all back pension which has not been paid since he applied for one about three years ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The dwelling house opposite this office which was recently purchased by Mr. E. BUCH will be entirely renovated and work has already commenced tearing down the old buildings.

Apply at HILGEN’s Spring Park or at FRIEDMANN’s restaurant on East Water street in Milwaukee. ~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the time of year that house cleaning, papering, etc. is in order. If you want to get the best paper go to E. G. WURTHMANN’s and look at his large assortment of patterns. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Don’t forget to look over BOERNER Bros. 5¢ counters when out shopping, you will find many new things that will surprise you. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A number of lady friends gathered at the house of Mrs. F.

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

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