The “Veteran” in last week’s STAR is evidently suffering from chronic diarrhea of words which contain untrue personalities not worth replying to and of no interest to our readers. For the rest, we refer him to such real veterans such as Generals BRAGG, GIBBONS and others who denounced the bill vetoed by Pres. CLEVELAND in much stronger terms than the NEWS ever did. We know of more pension frauds than those related by the “Veteran” but we ask: would not the passages of the bill in question have increased these chances rather than to have prevented them? If the State agent will attend to these frauds, the office might become somewhat useful after all.

Miss Eva SOLMS died last week of typhoid fever, at the age of 20, she was buried at Holy Cross.

Hubbard NEISEN, a resident of this town for over twenty years, died during the past week after a lingering sickness. The funeral took place last Thursday, a large number of friends and relatives accompanied him to his last resting place.

The large barn of John SHOMER’s, a mile north of here was entirely destroyed by fire on Monday night. The Saukville fire department was on hand, but could do nothing with the fierce flames except keeping it from spreading to adjoining buildings. How the fire originated is not known, but it is said to be of incendiary origin.

The malicious party, of St. Finbar’s who so denounced the young people of Saukville, in the last week’s STAR must be a very ignorant type. Any sound minded person who reads that article, will surely not attend any of their dances in the future, as he will be in constant fear that some simple individual who also attends may infringe upon his character.
