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.

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

Various arrangements for the large fountain space in the center of the main hall
of the Milwaukee Exposition have been made from year to year, but none have given
a more artistic and pleasing effect than that of the present time. The happy thought
of placing tiny electric lights at the tips of the umbrella which spreads itself

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

bakery in the building formerly occupied by G. SONDER. The best bread, rolls and

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.”

SAUKVILLE
(From our correspondent)

Ed. L. EASTMANN made a flying trip to Cedarburg on Saturday last.
John KEARNS, aged 19 years, died of diphtheria last Sunday after an illness of three
days.
Peter BLAU, a former Saukville boy, but now of Dakota, spent a few days among friends
and relatives here.
James FRAWLEY of Chicago, who was visiting friends and relatives here for the past
few days returned last Monday.

a lingering sickness. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his timely loss.
Most of the members of our local Fire Department responded to the invitation given
them by the Newburg Hook and Ladder Co. and attended their first dance on Saturday,
Oct. 23rd. The reception committee have spared no pains to make it an enjoyable affair
and entertained the strangers with kind and generous liberality, which was doubly
appreciated. Ours, being the only outside company present, we formed in line and
marched to SHUMAN’s Hall where we gave an exhibition in drilling which was loudly
cheered. The remainder of the evening was passed in dancing which was kept up until
daylight. To say the least, we like pride to state that the citizens of Newburg,
“left not a stone unturned” in the way of treatment, to which we extended our sincere
thanks.
