The picture shows also the following gentlemen who were the occupants: Gen. U. S. GRANT, Carter HARRISON, Mayor of Chicago, and Hon. Thos. HOYNE. The carriage was drawn by a beautiful matched team of six horses, the property of Mr. Leroy PAYNE of Chicago, and driven by himself.

THE FOURTH

The anniversary of the day of American independence was not so fully celebrated on the Fourth as was the intention on account of the drenching rain that kept coming down all afternoon, putting a clause in the festivities - but in spite of al that, the Turn Society and Fire Co., with CHELOCHUSKY's band at the head, formed a line at the Turn Hall and marched to the Hilgen Springs, where they enjoyed themselves as best they could under the circumstances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have been asked by men on both parties to run THE ENTERPRISE in the interest of their party during this campaign. THE ENTERPRISE is destined to be a family paper and when we intend making it otherwise we will "roar". In the meantime, however, we will keep sitting on that fence of ours at present and "boom" for the successful candidate next fall if things don't come to another turn before the fall election.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RATHER DAMAGING

The hot weather right after the successive rains that occurred the past week is not very encouraging for the crops, and rust has made its appearance to an alarming extent. Farmers hereabouts report a very gloomy prospect; about half a winter, with a very bad outlook for the spring wheat. Rye escaped for the reason that it is most ripe and fit to cut and a large yield is expected - barley also is in good condition and hopes of an abundant crop are at present entertained.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REGULAR CONCERT

Mr. J. F. HILGEN of the Spring Park Hotel, wishes to inform the public that he will have regular open air concerts at the Park, regularly every Sunday afternoon, commencing next Sunday, July 18, 1880. Uncle Fritz is bound to have some sport at the Springs this Summer regardless of cost.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sad intelligence announcing the death of Mrs. Ellen LANDERS, wife of Mr. Thos. LANDERS and daughter of Mr. Thos. O'BRIEN of this place which occurred in Mildoer where she was living at the time of her death, reached her parents here last Monday. Her corpse arrived here Monday morning with the 1:55 express train to be interred in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. LANDERS was ill but a short time and her sudden and untimely death was entirely unlooked for and the news of her demise sent a pang to the heart of everyone that knew her. She being married but nine months, the grief of the young husband must be almost unendurable. She was about 28 years of age at the time of her death.

The young husband and relatives of the deceased have the heartfelt sympathy of everyone that knew her. May she rest in peace. Deceased was buried yesterday forenoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. GANNON has been asked, within the past few days, by two different persons, to give them private lessons in the Latin language. We understand that with a class of, say a half dozen or such a number as would make it interesting for them, and some object to him, his service can be secured and on reasonable terms; Greek may also be studied if desired. Here is an opportunity for a few of our more advanced boys, which they cannot find every day, and which they should lose no time in turning to account; as Mr. GANNON is well known to be a proficient in those languages.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. W. AHLHAUSER of Saukville, wishes us to inform our readers that he will be a candidate for county treasurer to be elected at the coming election this fall. So far as we can learn, Mr. A. has no opposition, and probably will not have as he is a young man of good standing and is well liked by all who know him for his honorable and square dealings with everybody. Mr. AHLHAUSER would make a good treasurer and voting for him would be voting in the right direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wind storm visited this section last Friday night that was terrific in the extreme. In some places it prevailed to such an extent that orchards were pretty well demolished. In Jackson, it is said that trees were pulled up by the roots. Grain suffered considerable, in some places it was lodged so that there is no more hope of it attaining its natural position again and in that case the crops to a certain extent will turn out mighty poor. Let us hope for the best however.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While on a business trip through Jackson last Monday, we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Hon. G. FRANK, post master of Jackson. Mr. FRANK has a large store at Jackson post office and one at Rice Station.

A BIG SHOW COMING
A New Name and a Great Sensation

We are informed by the Master General of the Advertising Department of the GREAT INTER-OCEAN CIRCUS MUSEUM AND MENAGERIE that this consolidation of twelve first class shows in one will exhibit in Cedarburg on Thursday, July 22nd, 1880, and give three performances on that day, this being necessary in order to accommodate the masses who visit it every day in unprecedentedly large crowds.

The show is making a good deal of stir in amusement circles and meeting with a success that is alarming to all small shows. It seems to be the mission of this show to absorb everything, it having recently consolidated with it that of Batcheller & Dorris' great railroad show. The Springfield (Ill.) State Register after it had visited that city, says of the show:

THE GREATEST OF SHOWS
The largest crowd that ever attended the performances of any circus witnessed the exhibitions of the great Inter Ocean circus and menagerie yesterday. Thousands of people gathered along the principal through fares to see the grand street parade, and we do not hesitate to say that the magnificent procession made by the Inter Ocean, has never been equaled in this city. The long line of chariots, tableaux cars, etc. made an imposing sight that will long be remembered.

The menagerie includes all the leading zoological specimens, from every quarter of the globe, among which is the large war elephant, "Empress," the oldest and best trained. Also the White Elephant the first ever shown here, the Egyptian sea cow, the mamouth sea lions and other leading features, while the museum is the most complete ever seen here.

In the immense canvass used for the circus performances, there was not even standing room, hundreds of people being unable to gain admittance. At the evening performance the various acts given were vastly superior to anything ever seen here before.

Our space will not allow us to particularize, but we cannot refrain from mentioning the marvelous performances of the Siegrist children, who are, without question, the finest acrobats in the world. The bareback riding of Miss Mollie Brown is undoubtedly the finest of anyone now before the public, while the riding of Sebastian, Scarfer and Rivers, are of highest order.

Take it altogether, the great Inter Ocean certainly gave the most satisfactory entertainment ever given here and exhibited everything they advertised.

The electric light used by this monster aggregation is a complete success and is a great improvement on the old method of lighting the canvas.

The managers are to be congratulated on the successful combination they have placed on the road, and the public may rest assured that they will carry out to the letter everything they advertise.

While in Milwaukee on July 3d, when the above show was giving performances, we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this show and found it just as advertised in every respect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The advertising car of the Great Inter-Ocean show stopped at Cedarburg last Saturday, and the general advertising agent and bill posters remained in Cedarburg over Sunday. They left Monday morning for Milwaukee where the car will be transferred on the St. Paul railroad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first really hot day of this season occurred last Friday. It was so hot at from about eleven o'clock to three that it was almost impossible to be under the rays of the sun.

LOCAL GOSSIP

Circus day to-morrow.

Rather chilly weather we are having of late.

F. L. HARMS of Grafton sells the Gilt Edge Tonic.

A most disagreeable rain occurred last Monday morning.

The Hilgen Springs Park Hotel is crowded to overflowing.

Hancock and English clubs will be organized in some towns in this county.

Pleasure and health seekers are making their appearance at the Springs daily to remain during the hot season.

The population of Ozaukee county is 15,000 according to the figures of the census takers of the several towns. Rather small community, this.

The republicans of this district are confident in electing a congressman this fall. Mr. DEUSTER has made a very good representative and stands a very good show of being re-elected.

Major J. C. SCHROELING has no opposition thus far and will probably not have. Major has been a very efficient clerk of the board and the responsibilities of that office cannot enter into better hands.

F. BOERNER is already making preparations to lay in a large stock of goods for the fall trade, and to this end is selling summer goods at a reduced price.

PERSONALS

Mr. Chas. SCHLEGEL, of Saukville, was in Cedarburg last Sunday afternoon.

F. L. HARMS of Grafton was over in Cedarburg last Thursday and had a new top put on his buggy.

Geo. BACH of Milwaukee paid his numerous friends in Cedarburg a call last Wednesday evening. He remained but a few hours.

Messrs. F. L. HARMS, Henry SMITH, R. SCHMIDT and their families were at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday taking in "the open air concert".

Father HEMLOCK of Chicago and Father DURNIN of Milwaukee made a pleasant call on us recently. Father HEMLOCK seems to manifest more interest in THE ENTERPRISE than he does in the Chicago Times.

Messrs. M. G. RUPPERT, M. ZIMMERMANN, of Port Washington, accompanied by Messrs. E. HORNKAL, E. MANNOW, N. LOEB; of Manistee, Mich. dropped in upon us yesterday afternoon and made us a pleasant call.

Mr. Terrence FITZGERALD of Hartford made a most pleasant visit with his numerous friends here last Sunday. Mr. FITZ informs us that he has bought a farm in Dakota, containing 320 acres, he intends going on this fall. May it prove to him all he anticipates.

Mr. Chas. CHAMBERLAIN of Port Washington, but in former years a resident of this place, paid his numerous friends in Cedarburg a pleasant call last Saturday afternoon. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN held offices of public trust in this county frequently and during his official life, has always very creditable performed the duties of each office that he was presiding over.

PICNIC

At Milwaukee Falls Park, Grafton, Sunday, July 25th, 1880, for the benefit of St. Joseph's School. Good music and a good time may be expected by all. Tableaux in the evening. - Leo HALM, Jos. SPEHN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter wheat in this vicinity is being cut and by all appearances the crop will be an average one, which is better than expected. It was feared that the extreme heat of the fore part of last week would damage the crops considerable, but since the harvest has begun, better prospects are entertained by farmers. Rye, barley and oats are a very good crop - in some instances, above the average.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be compelled soon to print both sides of THE ENTERPRISE at home, the inside at present is printed in Milwaukee, and in order to meet the expense we will be obliged to undergo, we deem it necessary for every subscriber not having paid his back subscription, to remit at once, thereby helping us materially as well as favoring us which we hope they will grant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to see and feel the strength of the republican party in this county, an effort will probably be made to run a full republican county ticket this fall. That is the only true way of finding out the exact republican vote of Ozaukee county, and by nominating a good ticket, chances are that in a few instances republican candidates may slip in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The concert and dance at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday was well attended. The weather was clear but cool, bringing out a pretty respectable crowd who seemed to be well pleased with the concert given by the Tyroler Troupe from Milwaukee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEHMANN Bros. have on hand a large lot of rod iron for blacksmithing purposes which they are selling at reduced prices.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE SHERIFFSHIP

There seems to be a general strife and scramble for the sheriff's office, and aspirants and candidates are looming up almost every day. Thus far there are three candidates in the field. red SCHLEIFER of this town has expressed himself that he would like to be sheriff - he making the third candidate. There are also two candidates - one in Port Washington and one in Saukville - that will soon acquaint the fact to the voters of Ozaukee county that they can attend to the sheriff's office as well as any one of the other candidates.

LATER - Since writing the above, we are informed that Thos. FLYNN, A. HODAN, and Mr. PENTONEY, all of Mequon, will present their names before the democratic convention which takes place soon.

The fire department was called out, who done very good work, for a large pile in close proximity of the burning pile, was saved from destruction by their prompt and most efficient labors. The department saved at least one hundred and fifty cords of wood for the railroad company for which the company ought to be thankful.

MARRIED - Tuesday, July 13th, by Rev. Father WILLMAS, at the Catholic church in this village, Miss Margreta REUTER to Mr. Frederick TIPPMANN, both of this place.

If Sheriff DELLES would lock up the youngsters that make night hideous with their noise as often as a wedding occurs, he would receive the blessing of all those who love rest and sleep.

J. M. BOSTWICK, Wm. A. PORS, and W. H. THOLEN and their ladies have gone to Cedar Lake for a few weeks in search of pleasure and health. They are bound to enjoy life, "if it takes all summer!"

Fishing is the main sport now and to witness the persistency with which our political "Goliaths" are adhering to this pastime one would think that the destiny of the nation depended on who was making the best haul of perch.

Tramps are nearly as plenty as potatoe bugs and a great deal more annoying; as it is against the law to feed tramps on Paris Green. It is a question also whether that would have any effect to their invitations, even should our legislature pass a law making it legal to feed tramps on Paris green, it is a question which would give out first - the "pizen" or the tramps.

Our school district meeting clearly demonstrated the interest of our community in educational matters, 40 votes were cast all told while at the road district meeting over 150 ballots were cast and the school district has a larger territory and population than the road district. About $3,000 were expended by the district during the year, of which sum $700 or about that amount went to the Sister School.

The most remarkable feature of this place is the street lamps of the two leading hotels. When the moon shines in all its glory and sheds light on the just and unjust, you will always see the American and Union House lamps in full glory, but when nights are dark and gloomy and the rain is coming down in torrents, "nary a bit" will you see of those lamps. One reason of this, Hans says, is that the hotel folks think it's no use in a dark night to light up, fearing the light might attract the brazen faced tramps. Another reason is that the lamp lighter needs the light of the moon to perform his duty, which theory is correct I am not prepared to say, but will bet a "picayune" that whenever the full moon shines in all its splendor, the said lamps will be lit from 6 P.M. to 8 A.M. and when the new moon is written in the almanac those lamps will be darker than hades!

STIFTUNGUFEST

The Turn Society is out with posters announcing the anniversary of their 27th birthday on August 8, 1880. In order to make this anniversary suitable to the occasion, they have engaged Prof. HENSLER's Jugend Kapelle of 30 pieces, of Milwaukee, to give a concert in the park back of the Turn Hall on the afternoon of the above day and to play for the dance in the evening.

The expense of the society in carrying out the intention of making this the grandest time ever had, is very great, and to encourage them in their efforts, by a large attendance on the above day, would be doing nothing more than justice, not alone to the society, but to yourself. Everybody and his family are respectfully invited to attend regardless of color or politics.
