JAUCKE boasts of a very handsome new phaeton now. Mr. T. DUTCHER has our thanks for a large mess of early pie plants. Mr. H. SCHELLENBERG will supply you with fence posts if you desire. The soldiers' meeting at Saukville last Saturday it is said was well attended. Mr. C. VOGEL says he is doing a moderately good business in the cigar line. The corner stone of the woolen mills at Grafton was laid one day last week. The grand opening of the Hilgen Springs takes place next Sunday. Don't fail to come. The rain last Sunday night was worth considerable money to the farmers and everybody. The wool trade at the woolen mills is immense. Forty cents for tub washed was paid last week. A much needed and welcome rain last Sunday made the grass and the grain sprout very rapidly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Geo. BACH made a flying visit to Cedarburg last Thursday. Mr. W. F. JAHN, chairman of the town of Mequon, was in Cedarburg last Saturday. Capt. J. W. JOHANN went to Spencer last Monday morning and will return to-day. Mr. F. L. HORNEFFER, of Milwaukee, and Miss Julia BOERNER, of Belleville, Illinois, were married at Belleville yesterday. Miss S. JOCHEM returned to Cedarburg from Chicago last Wednesday afternoon, where she has been for the past few weeks. District Attorney James HEDDING of Port Washington was in Cedarburg last Thursday attending a law suit, which was heard before Judge VOGENITZ. Mrs. J. W. JOHANN left last Thursday morning in Company with her mother, Mrs. F. HILGEN, Sr. on a pleasure trip to Belleville, Illinois, and will return next Friday or Saturday. Last week Mrs. J. RICE, of Riceville, who was laboring with a chronic disease and who was under the medical treatment of Dr. HARTWIG of this place, returned home entirely recovered. She has been ill for a long time and all kinds of remedies, and quite a number of physicians were treating her, but to no avail. About six weeks ago she was placed under the care of Dr. HARTWIG, who, as stated above, has now entirely cured her. While here, she was stopping at the house of Mr. J. C. KUHEFUSS and the careful nursing given her by Mrs. KUHEFUSS had a wonderful effect, and for which considerable credit is due. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ During the week in which the Soldiers re-union is held at Milwaukee, from the 7th to the 12th of June, the Wisconsin Central Rail Road will run special trains and sell tickets at reduced rates to all who wish to visit Milwaukee at this time. Usually there is no early train into Milwaukee on Monday morning, but on Sunday night a special train will leave Stevens Point at 5:40 p.m. stopping at all stations, arriving at Milwaukee at 3:10 a.m. Commencing Monday morning, June 7th, and every morning that week, a special train will leave Stevens Point at 5:15 taking passengers from intermediate stations, and arriving at Milwaukee at 12:35 noon. Train No. 1 going north, will be run through to Stevens Point, arriving there at 9:00 p.m. A special train will leave Milwaukee Saturday night at 12:20 midnight for Stevens Point. These facilities, and the fact that rates for the round trip, have been made less than half rates, will enable everybody to visit Milwaukee at this time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our popular pop and mineral water manufacturer, Mr. G. BANSE, sustained severe but fortunately not dangerous bruises while unloading mineral water from his delivery wagon to the cars at Union depot in Milwaukee last Friday, by his team being frightened with the seat falling over the forepart of the wagon against the hind legs of the horses which caused them to run away. Mr. B. as taken entirely by surprise and was thrown on the pavement very heavily; the shock producing unconsciousness, in which state he remained a long time. He came home with his team the same day, however, but was confined in the house a few days after, and is now almost able to attend his regular business again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The solders of this town will meet at C. B. CARSTENS' saloon to-morrow (Thursday) night to enroll their names. The list will be sent to Commander M. G. RUPPERT, who will report the list at headquarters in Milwaukee so that preparations can be made for Ozaukee county soldiers during the reunion. Soldiers, don't fail to be present at the meeting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A meeting of those subscribing will be held to effect a permanent organization of the Southern Agricultural Society, Saturday night at the Turn hall, to which everybody who have their own interest at stake are earnestly requested to be present. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some of the oldest and most observing inhabitants predict a summer of unusual heat. The first month is certainly starting out with a determination to keep up the reputation of the prognosticators by following out their programme. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ HORRIBLE A case of manslaughter was reported to have happened in Fredonia last Thursday, where a man by the name of John CONRAD should have killed his son who was a cripple, and has been all his life. The boy was about twenty-two years old. The story goes that on the day above named, the father who is a man of about 60 years, and who is also a well-to-do farmer, got a little more benzine than he could stand. He went home in an intoxicated state and immediately began to whip the boy, and then threw him head foremost down the cellar stairs, from the effects of which he broke his neck. The body was immediately put into a coffin and buried the next day, none of the neighbors being allowed to see the corpse. Nothing more was thought of the matter until a day or two after the funeral, when a little grand daughter of the fiend in human form, said that her grandfather had thrown her uncle down the stairs and killed him. The authorities were immediately notified and the body exhumed and! on examination, the neck was found broken as stated by the little girl. The old man, after hearing that it was discovered that he had killed the boy, transferred his farm to one of his sons, and pocketing a few hundred dollars, skipped the country. The telegraph wires were immediately put into operations, and last Saturday evening, Sheriff Frank DELLES received a dispatch from Buffalo, N.Y., stating that the man wanted here was captured in that city on Saturday. Sheriff DELLES went to Madison last Sunday night to procure a requisition from the governor of this state, and with the document in his possession, went to get the criminal, and is expected he will arrive in Port Washington tomorrow (Thursday) night. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to how the son came to his death, and further developments are anxiously awaited when sheriff DELLES arrives with his prisoner. At any rate there will be disclosure made that will be astonishing if all reports are true, of which we have not the least doubt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTICE All soldiers of the late war now living in the town of Cedarburg are requested to attend a meeting to be held on Thursday evening at 8 P.M., May 27th, 1880, at C. B. CARSTEN's saloon in Cedarburg for the purpose of registering their names that the same may be sent to the headquarters of this county, and from there to the headquarters of the Reunion, and complete arrangements to attend the reunion. – Chas. WILKE, Chas. GOTTSCHALK ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Chicago & North-Western Railway will sell round trip tickets at EXCURSION RATES from all of its stations to Chicago and return, for the National Republican Convention, to be held in Chicago, June 2. Tickets will be sold May 30 to June 1, inclusive; good to return till June 5. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ F. DUWE, the wagon and carriage maker at Thiensville, reports of having turned out quite a number of platform wagons and light buggies for Milwaukee parties this spring. Mr. DUWE is a first class workman and deserves a liberal patronage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Young HOFFMANN, a lad about thirteen years of age, had his arm broken just above the wrist by being caught in a pulley while cleaning up in the basement of the Hilgen Manufacturing Co.'s planning mills last Monday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ HILGEN & MEYER of the Apollo Hall, Columbia mills, will give a dance in HOFFMANN's grove, close by, on the 20th of June. In the evening in case of bad weather, dancing will be continued in the hall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A first class tanner could find Cedarburg a good place to locate and build a tannery. We have the best location in the county for such an industry, and there is no tannery for miles around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an editor (?) in Port Washington who is of too much importance to be noticed and his slurs against Cedarburg are too unbecoming of a gentleman to be heeded. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS REUNION ASSOCIATION OF OZAUKEE CO. MET AT SAUKVILLE ON THE 22ND OF MAY 1880 The president being absent, M. C. RUPPERT was elected president, pro tem.

A supply of soap should be ordered to renovate the establishment. Why don't some one see to those public nuisances which are an abuse on civilization, done away with? A very nice rain last Sunday and everything looks fresh except the side walks, they resemble a goose pasture. The new Woolen Mill is nearing completion. The proprietors are enterprising men and will improve our place considerable. Weather warm and growing. Mechanics and tradesmen are wanted here. CRAMER is going to enlarge his photograph gallery. Our saloonists are having a cool time of it in the shade. The veterans of this town are all going to the Reunion to see their old comrades. The Singer Sewing Machine Co. are doing a lively business here by all appearances. They must be putting in quite a number of machines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEST BEND ITEMS Another saloon is to be opened near the Catholic church by a Mr. FEUISTEL. Mr. Adolph DETUNEQ and Miss M. EASTICK were united in matrimony The ordinance prohibiting the discharging of fire arms in the limits of this village is not enforced. The spring term of our schools will not end until July 3d, making it ten months of school instead of nine a year. The intermediate department of our public school had a jolly May party in Judge FRISBY's grove last Friday afternoon. The trussel work of the railroad is being filled up with gravel. A steam plow and shovel connected with the gravel train are employed. The new presses, etc. of the new printing office are being set up in the building formerly occupied by F. HUEBNER as a saloon. It is expected that the first number of the paper will be issued the first week in June. In our last report from here, we stated that this village was in want of a good local newspaper and printing office which has been the wish of our prominent citizens and business men for the past year; has now come to pass – as this village and county will now have a newspaper with good, sound Democratic principles. An anti-Ring organ, with a C. W. POWERS as its editor, and sanctioned by the most prominent Democrats. As Mr. POWERS comes well recommended and is an old hand at the business there is no doubt but that he will make a success of it. At a bock beer saloon last Saturday evening, George WEIL an O. BOSEWETTER had a "falling out," in which some pretty hard words were exchanged. As young Paul WEIL saw it was getting quite serious, he persuaded his brother, George, to go out and go home with him, and after walking up the street, turned to go home when they met O. BOSEWETTER and J. HAMBACH on the sidewalk opposite Dr. KELLER's residence. Both had imbibed quite freely and as the "bock" showed its horns, they had some more loud words, and young George told BOSEWETTER that if he didn't dry up he would make him by slapping his mouth. The minute he said that, BOSEWETTER raised a club which he had in his hand to strike George, but Paul grabbed the club and wrenched it out of BOSEWETTER's hand. As he did that, J. HAMBACH drew a revolver and shot three times at the boys and then ran away. One shot hit George in the neck and another passed through Paul's coat on his shoulder after which Paul struck BOSEWETTER on th! e head with the club he had taken away from him. – LATER – George is again around. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
