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.

She leaves a large family besides her husband who mourn her loss. The funeral took place last Friday, Rev. F. C.

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.

We wish him abundant success. ~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE The Council has passed the following resolution: Resolved.

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!
