For several years past, the Milwaukee Exposition people have made earnest endeavors to get for the people of Wisconsin who have ever taken a great interest in the exposition, a special excursion rate from the different railway lines, but until the present year were unsuccessful. This season however, the railways have consented to a half faire, on every Tuesday and Friday, from all points in Wisconsin to Milwaukee Exposition visitors. These low rate tickets are good for return trip on the day of or day following their issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An old tramp who paid this city frequent visits, whose name as near as we can learn is John KLEMP, and who claimed to be a tinsmith by trade, died rather suddenly in the Apollo Hall barroom last Tuesday afternoon. While ordering a glass of liquor and victuals, he stooped his head, and the proprietor thinking he was asleep, went to arouse him, when he found that life was extinct. Mr. LAUR, the proprietor of the saloon, notified the city authorities who summoned a jury to hold an inquest. Dist. Attorney PORS was telephoned for and an inquest was held at the Union Hotel last Wednesday evening. After examining several witnesses, the jury decided that the cause of the death of the deceased was unknown. He was buried at the expense of the county in the cemetery at this place Thursday last.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Dan E. McGINLEY of Saukville, Sec’y of the Ozaukee County Agricultural Society, stating that no complimentary tickets were allowed to the local press and consequently he could not send them without paying the money out of his own pocket. He further states that he is not the “Veteran” who has made an ass of himself in the “Star” by his late communications. Mr. McGINLEY also says that he is a veteran who got pension through Col. WATROUS, and if we do not let the “Veterans” alone, he will publish something dreadful about us, etc. -- Mr. G. is perfectly welcome to publish anything he pleases concerning our past political and, if he wishes, our private life. The real deserving veterans have had no better friend than the NEWS has shown itself to be all along. We are only against the bogus Vets. and fraudulent pensions about which we have received several communications from Saukville and other places.

Miss Emma HAMMERS of Silver Creek was yesterday married to Ben. BELL of this place, at the home of the bride’s parents. The wedding party arrived at Saukville in the afternoon where the celebration was continued among friends and relatives of the groom. A suitable hall was secured for the evening and dancing was kept up to a late hour. Mr. BELL is in the employ of the M. & N. Ry. Co. for a number of years, and now holds the position of conductor.

The Ozaukee County Agricultural Fair held here last Wednesday was well attended. The work of the officers of the Society and their efforts shown added largely to its success. The exhibits in every class was good; especially in live stock, which was well worth seeing. Grain, vegetables and fruits were quite fair, but did not near exceed the splendid exhibit of farm products of last year. The appearance of the art gallery showed up better than ever before, the fine hand-work shown was very beautiful. Foot and bag races were brought up, and created quite an excitement which everyone seemed to enjoy. The crowd’s attention was next drawn to the horse races, of the three that entered, the Cedarburg horse came out ahead, last of all was the farmers’ race which was most interesting, the first prize going to Cedarburg and the second to Saukville parties. The fair on a whole was one of which the Agricultural Society can be proud, and well stimulate the officers to still greater exertions next year. -- JUMBO

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The question of “who struck Billy PATTERSON” is yet in as much of a mystery as the name of the author of the “Veteran” letters in the STAR, unless Mr. McGINLEY comes out straight and says like the great Washington who could not tell a lie, that “he did it with his little pen.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEW BAKERY
I wish to inform the citizens of Cedarburg and vicinity that I have opened a new bakery in the building formerly occupied by G. SONDER. The best bread, rolls and cake of all kinds can be found at my establishment. Give me a call and convince yourselves. -- Ernst JOHN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We regret to learn that Mr. John HICKEY of the town of Cedarburg is quite unwell, so as to be confined most of the time to his bed. His wife, who has been sick for some time back, is getting better and the prospects are that she will soon be restored to her usual good health.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After numerous commendable acts of the Milwaukee Exposition’s management, the season is that of engaging bands from different cities of Wisconsin, instead of making exclusive of Milwaukee bands. The people of the interior have always looked upon the Exposition as a state institution and by their course in the present instance, the managers give assurance of the fact that they do not wish it to be considered otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While on a short visit to Saukville last week in company with our fellow townman, Mr. GANNON, we enjoyed a most excellent dinner at ALBRECHT’s Hotel and smoked some fine cigars at friend AHLHAUSER. We had occasion to step into the branch store of BOERNER Bros. and found a lively trade going on. Next to their place of business, Mr. LUTFRING keeps a hardware store and he being a young, sober and industrious young man, will no doubt succeed well. He ought to get married, but among so many fine looking Saukville girls perhaps it is hard for him to decide. Mr. LUTFRING also keeps the celebrated Brand Stove, and in as much as cold weather is coming on, we counsel the good people who are in need of a good stove, to give Mr. LUTFRING a call before purchasing elsewhere. The time table of the M & N R.R. prevented our calling upon Messrs. KOENIG, ALLING and other friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. McGINLEY of Saukville has a good deal of cheek when he expected us to publish his letter to us in full when he is not even a subscriber to the NEWS, whose editor he abuses. That letter now appears in the STAR, as we expected it would, and any one who compares our statement of its contents in the NEWS with it, will find that it was correct, except that we left out his defense of getting his pension. This we did out of pity for the man, because we had other communications at the time from his neighbors on the subject, which state in substance that the “Veteran” returned safe and sound and as hearty as a buck from the war. That he went afterwards to the Pineries where only strong and healthy men can work, but was injured by a log rolling over him losing one leg, and returned as a cripple. In this helpless condition he ventured at high water upon the Milwaukee river at the time the Saukville dam went away some five or six years ago, working in the hot weather in a boat very hard, so that he got a sun stroke in consequence and was unable to teach school for some years, in which laudable calling he was engaged at the time. Hence we did not care of looking at the affidavits upon which he got the pension through Col. WATROUS, as having contracted his disease during the war or to dispute their correctness. Mr. McGINLEY is otherwise a pretty respectable man and no one cares of begrudging him the pension under the circumstances as thousands of such “veterans” are daily getting them, chiefly on rheumatic affidavits, who do not deserve them and do not need them half as bad as Mr. McGINLEY. He alone is to blame for this exposure by his rushing needlessly into print, defending his benefactor WATROUS, who has a newspaper of his own at command and able to defend himself against the charge made by the NEWS of “offensive partisanship.”
