Prepare for Fourth of July, turners, firemen, etc. In order to have a celebration worthy of note, preparations must be made in time, and now is the time to think the matter over. Let's have a Fourth of July demonstration this year!

Cold dinners and late suppers are now the order of the day, and a man hardly knows, when he comes home at night, whether he is going to sleep in the garret or down cellar. Cleaning house and papering walls is what the women folks are at these days.

ACCIDENT
An accident, occasioned through careless driving, which might have been serious only for the good fortune of the occupants of the vehicle, happened at the Hilgen Springs to Mr. BECHLER and Miss Mary HILGEN, of this place, last Sunday afternoon. The driver tried to turn around while the horse was going at a pretty good gait, capsizing the vehicle and throwing the occupants to the ground, who it is said escaped unhurt. The horse started to run and would have made a total wreck of the vehicle it was attached to, and a carriage that was standing near, but for the immediate seizure of the horse by some of the bystanders. As it is, the vehicle was pretty well pulled apart and the damage will be from $20 to $30.

A NEW WOOLEN MILLS AT GRAFTON

The new Woolen mills at Grafton, under the supervision of Mr. Charles H. RAMIEN, one of the principal stock holders of the Cedarburg Woolen Mills, is being pushed ahead very rapidly. Twenty-six men are constantly employed doing mason work, breaking ground and five or six men and teams are constantly kept moving hauling stone and sand. The foundation is very near completed and the workmen are now busily engaged breaking ground where it is intended to place the water sheel. Mr. R. thinks that in about two and a half or three months, the mill will be in running order and ready for business. The building is going to be a monstrous one, at least the space of land the foundation occupies would lead one under the impression that the building will be larger than the Woolen mills at this place.

We are in receipt of a guide book and scenes of northern summer resorts, issued by Mr. James BARKER, general ticket agent for the Wisconsin Central railroad, and the work is one possessing great attraction. It describes all the resorts along the line in a manner that is very appropriating. The descriptions of scenery are unexceptionally the most perfect that were yet published. The scenery and locations described are all on the line of the Wisconsin Central railroad, beginning at Cedarburg, and including Elkhart Lake, Green Bay, Menasha, Neenah, Weuauwega, Waupaca, Stevens Point and numerous other resorts to Bayfield.

LOCAL GOSSIP

Volume 2, No. 1

With this issue THE ENTERPRISE starts on its second year with a patronage second to none other in the county, and for this patronage we are almost wholly under obligations to our citizens, which we highly appreciate.

When THE ENTERPRISE first was started, it was thought by a great many that a newspaper could not exist here, and our contemporaries sneered at the idea that THE ENTERPRISE was to be a standing institution, calling it a nine days wonder. But to the contrary, the proprietors of this paper were bound to make it a success in every particular, and have the satisfaction of not alone seeing THE ENTERPRISE the best local paper prined in this county, but the best paying paper in the county.

We thank our patrons for the very liberal support in the past, and hope to remain the same in the future.

CEDARBURG TO HAVE SIDEWALKS
The Town Board Appropriating Twenty-five Per Cent of the Road Tax Towards Building Sidewalks.

At last it is a fact that Cedarburg is to have sidewalks, a very much needed and long felt want.

Mr. W. POOLE, pathmaster of the lower road district, was instructed last Monday by the town board to commence building a sidewalk opposite this office on the road running to the depot, after which he is to build a walk on the south side of the village.

Pathmaster WILKE also received instructions from the town board to build a sidewalk, commencing near the Woolen Mills, on the north end of the village.

The board did not instruct the pathmasters on which side of the street they are to build, but it is supposed they will build on the east side of the street..

The board also appropriated twenty-five per cent of the road tax toward building the same. In so doing, they acted very wisely, as it will be an improvement the whole community will be benefited by.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the democratic County convention last Saturday, a resolution was made to publish the proceedings in the Advertiser, and an amendment was made to publish the proceedings also in THE ENTERPRISE, but the amendment was barred out. We don't really care whether we are asked to publish the proceedings of the convention or not, but it looks rather small after being requested by the chairman of the county committee to publish the call, which request we very willing complied with, and then the convention makes a party howl, giving it as its reasons for not having the proceedings published in THE ENTERPRISE that it is a republican paper. That is the first effort, we believe, to quelch the evil. At any rate, it is the smallest business a convention of either party could have bothered itself about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A special meeting held by the Assessors of the different towns of the County of Ozaukee, on the 4th day of May, 1880, according to notice in the village of Saukville, at the house of A. AHLHAUSER to have an understanding about the assessment of all real and personal property in the different towns aforesaid. A resolution was adopted as follows: Be it resolved, that we assess all real and personal property to its true cash value as the same might or could be sold for at actual sale.

Peter WATRY, Assessor of Port Washington
August ZIEMER, Assessor of Cedarburg
F. MUSBACH, Assessor of Grafton
Henry COOK, Assessor of Fredonia
J. MOMLOCH, Assessor of Belgium
Math. LAUTERBACH, Assessor of Saukville

The Assessor of Mequon did not appear in said meeting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A meeting for the purpose of permanently organizing the agricultural society for the south of this county will be held soon. The saloon keepers ought to take more interest in the matter, it will be to their interest to a great extent, as they will derive the greater portion of the benefit by the gatherings that will take place. Quite a number of good farmers of Mequon, who never attended a county fair in this county since it was taken away from Cedarburg, have talked favorably of the project and will aid the society in every particular in their power. There are also quite a number in Grafton that will take a principal part in the matter. Strike while the iron is hot, gentlemen; the sooner a permanent organization is effected the better.

CEDARBURG'S SUMMER RESORT

J. F. HILGEN, of the Hilgen Springs Park Hotel, is at present busy engaged in cleaning up and otherwise greatly improving the Park, for the benefit of pleasure seekers and summer visitors from abroad.

The Spring, without any doubt, is the finest and most pleasant summer resort in the state, being on the line of the Wisconsin Central Railroad making it very convenient for pleasure seekers to come and go as they please, which is a very great advantage.

The Park covers over forty acres of ground well laid out and shady. When in the Park on a clear sunny day the shade of the young trees makes it appear almost like night, the trees being set together very closely. Good gravel walks, where a person can go in any part of the Park he likes, adorn the premises. Pleasure seekers! When looking for a place to rusticate during the summer, you cannot do better than to come to Cedarburg.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some parties are highly pleased that one of the editors of THE ENTERPRISE was appointed a member of the republican County Committee whereby they wish to establish the fact that THE ENTERPRISE is a republican organ and no longer an independent journal. Poor logic that; cannot a republican publish an independent paper as well as a democrat. Whenever this paper becomes a republican organ exclusively, we will advise our readers of the fact, so that no one shall be deceived. Meantime keep cool, and if we lose a subscriber by any change that might take place, it is not likely that it will benefit those who wish to be benefited by it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Cornell Brothers will remain in this section for the next three weeks to come. The idea that some have it is too far in the season to have any grafting done is just the contrary. We are informed by Mr. J. CORNELL that grafts at this time of the year are better nursed on account of the sap going into the limbs as when the sap is in the stem, as it is in the early part of spring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In some places rats have become a great pest in farm houses and barns. An exchange says copperas is the death of rats. In every crevice or every hole where a rat treads, scatter the grains of copperas and the result is a stampede of rats and mice. But look out for poison.

Chickens are coming home to roost. At the Republican county convention held at Saukville on the 24th ult., the former chairmen, for his trickery, was ousted, and now at the democratic county convention held at Saukville on the 8th inst., the big "I am," the tool of the former republican chairman was ousted.

The locomotive's cab and smoke stock were a total wreck, otherwise no damage done. The wonder is that none of the coaches were thrown off the track.

Quite a bit of ball tossing is done this spring but as yet no organizing has been done.

Mr. P. W. HARNS is busy with his gang of men setting up tombstones and monuments. Pat does good work and finds plenty to do.

Your spicy paper, the CEDARBURG ENTERPRISE, has found its way in many a household in this County and is welcomed and talked highly of by all who read it. Would that we had such a paper in our own burg or at least one whose editor would be respected by our citizens.

Mr. J. SCHLITZ and E. FRANCKENBERG have been to Chicago to make arrangements to have trains run on the air line on Sundays this summer for the benefit of SCHLITZ's park and city excursionists. Quite a number of citizens here seem to be opposed to Sunday picnics and railroad rackets.

Mr. Chas. WILKE was appointed path master of road district No. 20. Mr. WILKE will undoubtedly make a good path master.

WIRTH Brothers are busy excavating ground at the back of their store, preparatory to building on an addition to their store.

Being a member of the legislature don't seem to pay after all. Culvert building seems to pay better. And so it does.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT

Charles GOTTSCHALK informs us that he has received subscriptions sufficient to enable him to sprinkle the streets of Cedarburg.

We are really pleased that Mr. G. has received encouragement enough to carry out another improvement which will help greatly to give Cedarburg a pleasant appearance in dry weather.

The sprinkling of the streets will not alone be a benefit to our business men and residents, but will be for the health of every one, and it is much pleasanter to walk on our streets when sprinkled than when there is nothing but an endless cloud of dust on windy days.

Mr. GOTTSCHALK purchased a sprinkler in Milwaukee last Monday and will have it here as soon as possible and go over the streets four times a day, keeping them always damp.

With a street sprinkler and sidewalks, we can boast of having as fine a village as there is in the state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chas. GOTTSCHALK has moved the old livery stable back about thirty feet and will build a new building between that and his dwelling which is next to his stable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grain business, though rather dull at the elevator, is better than expected. ZAUN manages to keep things moving no matter how dull the season of the year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Port Washington has secured, through Hon. P. V. DEUSTER, a harbor appropriation of $20,000. We congratulate Port Washington in being so fortunate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For any kind of first class painting, either decorative house, sign or carriage, you must call on G. WURTHMANN who is undoubtly the best and neatest painter in this place. Give him a trial.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the reunion week, which commences on the 8th of June, Charles GOTTSCHALK will run his bus between here and Milwaukee daily.

FROM WAUBEKA

Warm.

The youngest run bare-footed and shoemakers look mad.

W. MAERKLEIN feels pleased and proud - it is twins - two bouncing boys.

Spring work is nearly finished. Crops look promising and farmers take a deep breath of relief - hope has returned.

Tanner NEUNES is doing well because he knows his business. The leather he prepares is justly celebrated of the best quality.

The singing school under the able leadership of Mr. DODELL is a very pleasant affair. The young folks make a marked progress in their singing.

The Saenger Verein had a ball in their hall last Sunday. The hall was crowded and everyone felt happy, as is always the case on their entertainments.

M. RUHMER of the Germania House held a Leap year party last Wednesday. It was a good one but the young ladies were not courageous enough, as was therefore not very successful.

A. M. KERSTEN keeps as neat a drug store as can be found anywhere in the county and well filled with all kinds of drugs necessary in the Aesculapean art. He is an accomplished Pharmaceute and deserves a liberal patronage.

W. MAERKLEIN, our chief justice of the peace, is a very liberal man. He acknowledged thirty deeds last week and did not charge one cent for the job. He is besides the most pleasant of landlords, and governs over the popular Eagle Hotel very successfully.

Michael LIDDY and Miss Kate RAYGAN were married on the 19th of April, also Henry O'HARE to Miss GOUGH, our best wishes for their future happiness. Mr. LIDDY and his young wife left last week for Kansas where they are to build them a new home.

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.

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 the head with the club he had taken away from him. - LATER - George is again around.
