Mr. Bern. SCHELLENBERG of the town of Trenton will sell his farm and all farming utensils, stock, etc. at public auction on the 23d of October, 1886.

Mr. Fred. HOLTZ, the popular agent of J.P. FRISCH & Co. in Milwaukee, paid our city a visit last week, soliciting orders for the firm.

F.W. SANDER is kept very busy now filling his orders. He is an excellent photographer; if you wish to have good and artistic work done, give him a call.

Last Monday night the store of Mr. NEUNUEBLE of Newburg was entered by thieves. We have not been able to find out how much was stolen.

James PRYLE is erecting a new dwelling house on his farm near Deckers (unreadable word), the contract being taken by A. KNUPPEL. Mr. K. is doing extensive building in this city and surroundings.

H.G. GROTH calls attention to a carload of stoves he received last week. He will sell these at the lowest possible figures, and will guarantee complete satisfaction in the goods.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. B. FRANZEN of Fredonia, a candidate for the office of Register of Deeds of this county, was in the city last Saturday looking after his political chances. How good these are can not be told just yet; but Mr. FRANZEN would doubtless make an efficient officers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cider mill erected by HUSON Bro's. at the Columbia Mills is now ready to commence operations. Parties that wish to have cider should call early and give their orders for work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ball at the Apollo Hall last Sunday was fairly well attended, considering that so many of our people were gone from here that day. The day was warmer and more pleasant than any of the past week, and those that were present at the Hall enjoyed themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The M. & N. R.R. will run a school children's excursion to the Milwaukee Exposition next Saturday. Round trip tickets will be lower than half rates, the train going to Milwaukee will arrive here at 9 A.M. returning will leave Milwaukee at about 7 P.M. For further particulars inquire of ticket agents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both the German Lutheran Schools of this place have now closed on account of diphtheria. There are but very few children of this city attending those schools, the large majority coming from the surrounding farming districts. In the city there are but a few unimportant cases, and with ordinary care, the danger of a spread is not very great.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A diversion for the young folks, and for some old ones too, came to this place for a few days last week in the shape of a whirligig, which took its station on Market Square. A good many made use of this make-believe equestrian exercise and seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Exposition at Milwaukee presents new attractions besides its regular fine exhibit that merit the most extended patronage on the part of the people of this state. The Milwaukee & Northern R.R. has lowered the passenger rate during the continuance of the Exposition, thus giving additional inducement to attend. Improve this opportunity now, for the exhibit will close on the 16th of this month.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A boon has been conferred on the village of Grafton by the opening of a barber shop in that place by Mr. B.F. KENCKE. Grafton has long stood in need of a good manipulator of the razor and we hope that now that one has appeared, the men of the place will patronize him, and appear henceforth with more smooth chins and better trimmed hair.

MARRIED -- William BUCH of this city to Miss EMMA THESFELD of town Mequon on Sunday the 3rd inst. at the home of the bride's parents. A large number of the young people of this place were present to witness the ceremony and celebrate the nuptials. A number of the bride's friends from Milwaukee were also present. A very pleasant time was had by all and the couple was very agreeably escorted into their new life. May they prosper in it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Ozaukee county fair which opened yesterday at Saukville will today have its most important day. Those who have any opportunity of going should make it a point to attend. There are many things of interest to be found at such a fair that concerns people in general as well as farmers. The exhibit this year promises fair to surprise those of all the preceding years, and will do credit to the officers of the Association.

HORN, common council was called to order by the President, D. WITTENBERG. Roll called. Present: Aldermen BOHRTZ and ZAUN. Absent: Aldermen BRUSS and FROEHLICH.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the largest fires that ever occurred in Waubeka started last Friday morning in GROTELEUSCHEN's hay shed, adjoining his blacksmith shop and rapidly spread to the shop and then to MUELLER's stable. Being of very inflammable materials the intense heat soon drove the willing workers from the narrow alley between the stable and hotel, and in a short time the fiery element held undisputed away over the entire block. MUELLER's hotel, the spacious hall, and KRAUSE's tin shop soon made food for the flames; and are now a mass of smoldering ruins. Much of the contents of the buildings were saved, but in a damaged condition.

there being nothing at hand to subdue the flames, the fire burned as long as there was material. Yesterday it was still burning. A small fire engine would have prevent the conflagration from spreading at least.

The loss is quite heavy and will reach $5,000. We have not learned the amount of the insurance. -- P.W. STAR

LOCAL MATTERS

A republican county convention will be held at the house of Jos. ALBRECHT at Saukville on the 23d day of October 1886, at 12 o'clock M. sharp. -- Dated Oct. 11th, 1886, Wm. CARBYS, Chairman

A democratic town caucus will be held at Hamilton H. Toll, on Thursday, October 14th at 2 o'clock P.M., for the purpose of electing 2 delegates to the county convention. -- By order of Town Committee

A democratic city caucus will be held at the Union House, J.C. KUHEFUSS, on Thursday the 14th day of Oct. at half past seven ( 7 1/2) o'clock for the purpose of electing 3 delegates to the County Convention. -- By order of City Committee
J. J. RACE of Fredonia was in the city last Saturday.

A concert and ball will be given at Waubeka on Sunday, the 17th inst., for the benefit of Mr. MUELLER, who recently lost all his property by fire. The effort is a good one and should be supported generously.

Mr. MELIN a brakeman on the M. & N. Ry fell from a car on Monday night near Hilbert and broke his neck. Mr. M. was quite a young man, his parents residing in Port Washington where he has a host of friends (the rest of the article is unreadable).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A number of school children from this city attended the Exposition at Milwaukee last Saturday, going on a special excursion train that was run by the M. & N. R.R. They returned tired, but satisfied with what they had seen and the knowledge they had acquired.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Diphtheria is still spreading with alarming rapidity among the farmers in the neighborhood of this city. There are said to be over forty cases in the hands of our doctors. A child of Frank GROTH, 1 1/2 years old, and a child of Ferd. MOEGENBURG, 3 years old, died last Saturday and were buried Monday. A child of Anton BRAHM, 4 years old, died last Sunday. The city itself seems to have escaped almost entirely from the ravages of the disease. This is doubtless due to the increased care of health officers and house keepers, inculcated by the severe lessons of the preceding two years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The silver anniversary of their wedding was the occasion of festivities at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob FROEHLICH last Sunday. The event was celebrated by the closer friends and relatives all spending an excellent time and ending up with a wish to meet again twenty-five years hence, at the golden wedding of the couple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will be a grand ball given by the Turn Verein in the Turn Hall on Sunday, Oct. 31st, two days before the election. This should bring out all the people if they would spend an evening pleasantly or make use of this opportunity to take a look into human nature and men's motives; for the politicians will doubtless be there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This marvelously fine weather that we have been graced with for so many days make the hearts of all feel content. The farmers say they could not wish for anything better for finishing their fall work, such as gathering corn and potatoes, husking corn, plowing the fields and sowing the winter grains. A few late garden vegetables were nipped by the frost of two weeks ago, but those which escaped that are now prospering finely. These present beautiful moon-lit nights seem to be in great favor with farmers too, for in some nights of the past weeks a great many more farmers' teams rumbled through our principal street than are generally seen in the day-time. We shall feel sorry when this weather, following the old custom, gives way before the moist and disagreeable cold of the early winter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A NEW INDUSTRY IN THE TOWN OF MEQUON

Mr. Henry MEYER, the well-known farmer in the town of Mequon, has commenced the manufacture of pipes for draining wet low lands. We saw some samples for exhibition at the County fair last week of various sizes, and the price is so low that no one who has a piece of land where drainage is required, should hesitate to redeem the same for cultivation. The smallest size he sells for 3 cents per foot and so on in proportion to the size wanted. They seem to be made of excellent material which Mr. MEYER found on his premises; they have a clear ring of hardness and are well made. Mr. MEYER can also give full instructions how to place them under ground as he went on purpose to Indiana where a great deal of low land is constantly redeemed for agricultural purposes that was formerly in a great measure worthless. He stayed there some weeks and learned the art of laying the pipes from actual observation. It is not only the low land which requires drainage, but also a good deal of hard clay soil on higher land, which does retain the wet through rain and snow on the surface and where no gravel or lighter soil is underneath the hard clay so as to let the water through quick enough for cultivation in the spring time of the year, delaying the plowing sometimes for weeks. Give Mr. MEYER a call and he will tell you all about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OZAUKEE COUNTY FAIR

The finest weather favored the exhibitors and other visitors at our Fair last week. Hon. A.M. ALLING, the President of the society notwithstanding his great age, was as busy and lively (unreadable words) ... was first elected to that position and that must have been some twenty years ago. The Fair was a great success, and far surpassed any former exhibition for the last five or six years. Especial mention deserves the fine collection of fruits and vegetables which could not have been surpassed anywhere. Indeed we spoke with quite a number of gentlemen who had been in attendance at the state fair in Milwaukee, who all agreed that the vegetables and fruit on exhibition at our fair by far surpassed those at the state fair in quality on an average, although as a matter of course, the quantity was much larger at the latter exhibition. Several very fine stud horses were shown, while that horrid Jackass kept braying from morning till night much to the disgust of nervous people. It was simply horrid, and while we stood at the depot which is nearly one half mile from the fair grounds, we could hear the animal trying to beat down the excellent music of Prof. ZIMMERMANN's celebrated brass band. We would suggest to the owner of the otherwise fine animal to put a muzzle around the "critter" so that he cannot open his jaws more than a foot. He has brayed enough for the last three or four fairs - let him take a rest. We have not yet seen the list of awards, and if we get it in time will mention the most important premiums and to whom they were given. People kept eating at ALBRECHT's and AHLHAUSER's from 12 o'clock until 3 P.M. when we left, and they may be at it yet as we hardly noticed any cessation of getting up from table and having the place filled again.

This shows a healthy condition of our people. Long may they live to enjoy such fair and such fare.

The foot race was won by Harry BOLENS, Jamie VAIL taking second money. Charles GOTTSCHALK's horse came out first in the trotting race, and CASSIDY's in the running race.

Last Sunday was a rather raw and wet day, in spite of which the prize shooting and bowling for poultry at the Park was well attended. The flower of Cedarburg marksmanship were present and some of them will enjoy the luxury of a fat duck or turkey at their dinners next Sunday. Others were deeply disappointed because, from some inexplicable cause, they could not hit the target much less the bulls-eye. They attributed the failure of their efforts to the rifle, which they claimed was out of trim and had a wrong sight and gauge. Whether or not they were right is hard to tell; suffice it to say that they returned home duckless and disgusted. In other respects the afternoon at the Park was generally well enjoyed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new uniform three cents per mile rate went into effect on the M & N R.R. last Friday. There is no difference in the rate between single and round trip fares, thus making a single trip ticket 21 cents less than it was heretofore, though the round trip rate is not much lessened. The C. M. & St. Ry. with which this road connects at the Union depot, Milwaukee, also put the 3¢ rate into effect last Friday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will be a prize bowling tournament at Claus MEYER's next Sunday the 24th inst. The prize will consist of turkeys, geese, and ducks, and those who excel in the play will be sure to take part and lay in a little advance stock for their thanksgiving dinner at the end of next month. Everything possible will be done for the entertainment of the guests.

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION

The full proceedings of this gathering will be found in this number of the NEWS. Besides the gentlemen nominees, there will be numerous independent candidates in the field. Capt. ZASTROW is out for Register, Mr. PORS for district attorney, Mr. P.K. GANNON for Superintendent and also Mr. REICHERT for the same place. For member of the Assembly we offer our own name to the citizens of this county as a candidate, having announced the same some weeks ago, knowing that we hardly could get nominated without combinations and pledges to other candidates for other offices. So we did not go anywhere to attend any caucus, expended no money for the best reason in the world - because we had none - and would not if we had any, and solicited no votes at Saukville, merely allowing our friends to present the name of their candidate, who neither sought nor would have refused a nomination. This was precisely the case with friend RACE the present Assemblyman, and so he also was left out in the cold. There may be other independent candidates for the assembly and for the other offices, but at the time of our going to press we have not heard of any more. The republicans hold a convention on Saturday; we are not advised whether they will put up a full ticket of their own or select one from the regulars and independents.

Our opponent Mr. SCHWIN is a well known citizen of Port Washington who has been for a number of years Mayor of that place and its Chief Justice. He is a gentleman of education and intelligence and would make a good Assemblyman - if elected. He kept the Union Hotel for some time as a partner of Mr. SIEVERS, but sold out lately and is now engaged chiefly as a railroad land agent in Minnesota, where he has been doing an extensive business for the last year or more in getting some of our farmers and others located on these lands. We will add that he is nearly as tall as we are and nearly as good looking if not more imposing, as we were when of his age. At any rate he is a "foeman worth of our steel."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other day a barrel of apples was shipped from here marked, "Nordens Pie," the intelligent shipper meaning probably, "Northern Spy." What a bland smile the commission merchant must have worn when he received that barrel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The little son of James HILGEN, whose eyes have been under treatment with Milwaukee oculists, contracted a severe cold, thus putting one of his eyes in so bad a condition that it will probably have to be taken out to save the other from destruction.

The monthly fair of last Monday was quite numerously attended and a good deal of business was done among the farmers and stock-dealers present. The presence of candidates for county offices was also a diversion, and many took advantage of it in the characteristic way. Towards evening, however, as the crowd began to get thinner, numerous individuals adopted the swinging seaman's gait and not a few walked as though they were on the quarter-deck in a heavy gale.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new cider mill that was built this fall by the HUSON Bros. of Plymouth, near the Columbia Mills, was last Thursday evening destroyed by fire. The fire was caused by an overheated boiler, and the woodwork being dry, easily ignited and burned rapidly. The fire had been burning almost half an hour before the engine arrived at the place. At that time the building was already razed to the ground and nothing was left for the engine to do but to protect the surrounding property. Very little was saved from the building. The loss was between $700 and $1000, there being no insurance. Although this loss is a severe blow to them, HUSON Bros., intend to rebuild as soon as possible and carry the business on as heretofore. In this they show a good deal of energy.

Among the democratic nominees for County offices in Winnebago County we notice the name of Louis HERZIGER of Neenah for Coroner. Louis is a Cedarburg boy and a wide awake good citizen; we are glad that he is recognized as such by the democrats of that County. He has five brothers yet living in this county, one of them has just completed one of the largest and finest houses in this city where he intends to continue his business as a butcher. Two other brothers are living in Mequon; all resided in early times in this city.

The GUARDIAN is the name of a new republican weekly paper which we find on our table. It is published at Chilton, Calumet County, by Wm. B. MINAHAN & Son. The elder Mr. MINAHAN is an able writer and to judge from the first two numbers received it will be an able exponent of republican principles.
