H. WINNER of Milwaukee was in the city Monday. St. Patricks Day passed off very quietly in this city. Do not fail to attend the Coffee Festival at BOERNER Bros. next week; all are invited. At the caucuses held at the Turner Hall on the 11th and 12th inst., the candidates nominated will be found in another column. Mr. James O’NEIL of this town sold his farm to Chas. WEDIG of town Mequon. Mr. O’NEIL will remove to this city next fall where he intends to reside. A dance for married folks only will b held at Geo. WOLLNER’s on the 13th of April. Invitations will be sent to all his friends and patrons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is now certain that a boot and shoe factory will be located here by Milwaukee parties with several business men of this town as stockholders. We did not learn where the building will be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The best bottle beer for family use can be purchased at the Grafton brewery. Quart bottles $1.00 per dozen and 2 doz. Pints $1.10 per case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Mil. & Northern have purchased fifteen new locomotive from the Brooks Locomotive Works, two of which have already been delivered. They are what are called extention front engines, and are equipped with a device to prevent the boiler flues from clogging with cinders. The Milwaukee & Northern, like other roads, has been obliged to borrow locomotives this winter in order to handle its traffic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERNAL EQUINOX Next Thursday, March 20th, occurs what is astronomically termed the vernal equinox, the day when the sun crosses the equator, making the nights and days of equal length all over the world and is really considered the first day of spring. Upon that date, the day and night will be 12 hours and 10 minutes in length, the sun rising at 6:03 a.m. and setting at 6:13 p.m. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ATTENTON FARMERS! The undersigned having started a willow ware factory in Cedarburg, is prepared to furnish farmers and lot owners with scions of the best willows at $2.50 per thousand, and will give the necessary information as to planting. The raising of willows will pay better than any other thing a farmer can cultivate; they will grow on high and low lands equally well. – Frank HEISS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE The Farmers’ Institute held here last week came off according to the programme published. The attendance was not very general. Of our citizens, Messrs. McGINLEY and BARKHAUSEN took an active part. The institution is a good thing perhaps to some farmers, but the pocket money of $12,000 to the lecturers paid by taxes from the Treasury of the State during the winter, is not bad either. We did not learn that the reasons for the low prices of all farm produce and the steady old prices of what the farmer needs, were at all considered. This would have been more important to our farmers than to tell them how to raise wheat and barley, when they can get no living prices for their produce and have to pay the old high prices for everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIST OF CANDIDATES List of candidates at the various primary meetings held on the 11th and 12th days of March last in the City of Cedarburg, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, for the Municipal election of said city, to be held April 1st 1890.

Supt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PORT WASHINGTON John DIEDERICH heretofore traveling for Jacob WELLAUER & Co. of Milwaukee, has given up his position. William LANDOLT, book-keeper at the Foundry, has been discharged since the new management and James MORGAN given his place. Jacob ECKEL died last week at the residence of his son-in-law-, M.

Burglars broke in the barbershop of Matt GEORGE last Friday night securing a small amount of money and several articles of wearing apparel. Sheriff WEYKER started next morning in pursuit. Sunday he telephoned from Sheboygan that he had secured the property but not the persons. The following ticket was placed in nomination at the democratic caucus: Mayor, R. STELLING; Aldermen, J. H. JACQUE, G. GUENTHER, G. BIEDERMANN, M. ZIMMERMANN and M. WESTER; Justices, G. GOETZE and M. LORGE; Clerk, James McCARTHY; Treas. J. B. ADAMS; Assessor, Ph. ECKEL; constable, James HEBLING Jr. Aldermen GILSON and MORGAN were on the board last year but did not receive a renomination we learn on account of the stand they took in regard to selling liquor to minors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Now spring is coming. And perhaps more snow. Our milliners sold lots of green ribbon on Monday. The cattle fair held here on last Monday was quite a success. A little son was born to Mr. & Mrs. T. MINTZLAFF Jr. last week. Mrs. MUNIE, an aged lady residing in the northern part of this town, died last week. KIRMES will be celebrated by the parishioners of the St. Joseph’s church on Thursday. Mr. A. MEYER, our prominent carpenter, has contracted for the finishing work of several dwellings at Port Washington, which he started to work at last week. Mr. and Mrs. WARNICKE have been visiting relatives here last week. Mr. Wm. WEBER just received a large number of cases containing beer bottles which almost blockades his bottling department. William will soon be able to furnish the public an excellent quality of bottled beer, which equals the best imported. As nearly everybody is compelled to be out on these muddy roads, dragging along with some cart, milk wagon or some secondhanded concern in order to save their better vehicle, it gives them a good opportunity to get their buggies painted and revarnished, so as to have them in good trim by the time the roads are in good order. Our painter, C. E. WIEPKING, informs us that he is prepared to turn out first-class work at low prices. Buy your harness, whips, etc. at Aug. PFLOEGER; he keeps only the best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON A canvasser of the Mil. Sentinel was in town soliciting subscribers. Miss Bertha REYNOLDS has returned from Oshkosh where she has attended the State Normal School. Mr. Henry KURZ and Mr. Aug. SUNDERMANN have announced themselves as candidates for town treasurer. A baby brightened the home of Mr. P. J. BACKES and one that of C. KNOB. A brass band has been organized at Mequon under the direction of Prof. A. WEBER. We have not learned particulars and will try to bring them in our next. We wish them success. The young wife of Mr. Chas. BERLIN residing in the eastern part of our town died last Tuesday. The remains were removed to Milwaukee for interment. A teachers meeting will be held at the Thiensville school house on Saturday, mar. 22. Pedagogical question will be discussed and as it promises to be interesting, none of the profession should fail to attend. The Mequon public school was closed for about a week on account of the death of the teacher’s, Mr. W. J. MEYER father, who resides at Milwaukee. We extend our sincere condolence to Mr. M. The ROSENTHAL residence will soon be replaced by an elaborate structure which according to reports, will prove another ornament to our beautiful little village. Mr. F. GIERACH has the contract for the job. The parish of St. Jacob in the eastern part of our town, intends to erect a new church on the place where the old one is situated. From the fact that very liberal contributions have been made, we may conclude that the new church will be an edifice worthy of its divine purpose. On Saturday last, Miss Emma ROSENTHAL returned from an extended trip to the Pacific coast. Miss R. gives a glowing account of the beautiful country and grand scenery. She has brought a large collection of marine curiosities from California, which prove quite an attraction. We extend our thanks for the beautiful specimens that were kindly donated to us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREDONIA CORRESPONDENCE No more dog-fights, no more cock-fights in Cedarburg and vicinity seems to be the watch-word at present, after the “humane society to prevent cruelties to animal” has been formed. It is a laudable enterprise, and if the members of the society shall do their duty, they will deserve much praise. First of all I would suggest that their acts of humanity should not stop with protecting the dumb brutes, but will extend them to the bipeds of the genus homo. As a rule the societies of that order, from Mr. BERGH of New York, to Supt. WHITEHEAD of Milwaukee, only seems to see such acts of cruelty to horses, dogs, cocks, etc. while under their very noses the greatest outrages are committed against members of the human family. For instance, there are two brothers each working hard for an honest living. One is a cripple, he owns an old plug of a horse that generally limps more or less, and which he uses for carting whatever he finds to earn some money. If he puts on a heavy l! oad or drives a little too fast in order to fulfill his engagements and not lose his job, up steps a gentleman like Supt. WHITEHEAD and causes his arrest and punishment for cruelty to animals. In the mean time, his brother can find no other employment to earn a living for himself and family than digging and shoveling at the excavation for a basement of a large building to be put up. Quicksilver ranges between 90 and 100 in the shade. The man feels dizzy, big drops of perspiration appear on his forehead, the heat overpowers him – he is sunstruck! A petrol wagon takes him to his home in a dying condition. The humane society does not interfere. They explain that he could speak. Why did he not quit working before he was so far gone that he must die? But he had complained and was told that if he would not work at present he might go home and somebody else would fill his place as long as the job lasts. Now, if he stopped he was out of employment and his family without ! their daily bread. He had to face it, whatever the consequences. But these humane societies are founded only to look after the welfare of quadrupeds and bipeds of a lower order, than the human family. Since they will not even allow a poor man to drive his old plug too fast, it is earnestly to be hoped that the Cedarburg society shall turn out in corpore next fall, at the time of the county fair, and stop those senseless horse races that invariably take place. What earthly benefit do the farmers derive out of horse races and race horses? Farmers as a rule have no use for such horses, they do not raise them, and if fairs are held to promote the prosperity of the agricultural causes, why should those races take place? The owners of those horses are no farmers, even if they own a couple of acres of land. They are pursuing some other business, and if they own land they have it only as a speculation or as a stamping ground for their fast horses, in short, they are farmers (unreadable). The next point to be considered is the treatment of those horses, and the danger their drivers and others are constantly in. Solely for the pleasure of the rich money bags, these horses are driven at a fearful speed, and many a one was made worthless in one of those racing matches. Look at them after their rounds are made. I have actually seen the blood spurt out of their nostrils, and some, after such a crazy driving were crippled for life and unfit for any purpose. Speaking about the dangers the drivers are in, I will mention but one instance. A couple of years ago, at Boston a boy of sixteen years of age, the only support of his widowed mothers, was thrown to the ground with the horse he was riding and literally crushed to pieces under the hoofs of the other horses in the ring. Where was Mr. BERGH, where was Mr. WHITEHEAD, where were the members of the humane society at the time? Probably they were not there; for running valuable horses for the pleasure of the aris! tocratic sportsmen is no harm, and if a poor boy employed by one of those nabobs loses his life in a terrible manner, these humane societies have no business to interfere; he could speak and keep out of that danger if he wanted to. I do not care what sportsmen say about the above, but should like to hear what other farmers think about it. If they think the horse races necessary and profitable to the farmers, they should explain. I am quite willing to hear their argument. – A Farmer (Our correspondent is evidently not a horse man, but many farmers are making more money by raising good horses than from anything else on their farms. These believe in a race track to test the speed of their stock in order to get corresponding prices. Many farmers here sold horses for the average prices, when it was discovered that they were worth thousands of dollars, but the original owner never had a chance to test their speed and compare them with other horses on the track. – ED.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
