One of their number traded a horse with a farmer, who as we observed was under theinfluence of liquor. When the trade was made, he tied his horse to a post, the “Smartee”sneaked around thinking he was not observed, and poured a poisonous drug on the horse'stail which made the poor animal kick fearfully for pain. Their scheme was to purchasethe animal again for a small sum and thus cheat the drunken farmer. We reportedthe same to Supt. KRUAS who swore out a warrant and followed the fellow, who wason his way to Milwaukee, arresting him near Mequon. He was brought before JusticeWIRTH, and fined $3.00 and costs.

FROM PORT WASHINGTON
The fact that the Bennett law (unreadable word) made an issue in the Milwaukee election,and its opponents successful, and the further fact that two aldermen in the cityof Pot Washington failed to be re-elected, seems to have thrown the editor of theSTAR off from his base.

In his editorial on the result of the election in this city, he makes it appear asif there had been an issue between the law and order loving people of said city,and the degraded, disreputable and immoral people, and the former were defeated. The article is an insult to every person living in the city of Port Washington. I claim that this city is as free from moral rottenness as any city in the State. Where are those cesspools of corruption, and the degrading and immoral practicesthe editor speaks of? Let the editor of the STAR point them out to the authorities. If they have existed during the last year and the two aldermen in question advocatedthe enforcement of good laws, then why did they not enforce the city ordinances relatingto the same, and bring the offenders to time? It is no excuse for them to say thatthe rest of the Council did not act with them. It is in the power of every alderman,yes even in the power of every citizen to have the city ordinances enforced and tohave the offenders punished. And if the aldermen in question did not have the ability,or the moral courage to enforce the city ordinances, it only shows the good senseof the people of the city, that they have called on others to take their place. The editor in his rage says that the decent masses (alluding to those supportingthe two aldermen), were like a mob - quite a compliment - mobs do not carry an electionin the city of Port Washington.

As far as I am able to ascertain, the editor's imaginary cause for such an articlecan be thus stated. A few months ago, two or three youngsters between the ages of17 and 21 (who, by the way, received their education in schools recognized by theBennett law) got drunk, and instead of going home peaceably as they ought to havedone, made a noise on the street, and instead of having the offenders arrested andfined, the aldermen quarreled among themselves as to the best method to pursue. This is the long and short of it, and I do not think that for such a trivial matter,our city deserves to be branded as upholding cesspools of corruption and immorality.- A citizen of Port Washington

(Unreadable heading)
Last week we published by request of the Rev. Th. WICHMANN, proceedings of a publicmeeting of the citizens of Mequon and Germantown in the German language and promisedto make some comments (unreadable words). The resolutions adopted are short andto the point they do not differ materially from those adopted by other meetings ofopponents of the Bennett Law. They protest especially against the untrue and unjustaccusation that they are the enemies of the English language, but that they have“heretofore and will in the future take care that their children shall be well instructedin the English language.” They protest also against the accusation that they arethe enemies of our public schools, but “they consider them a necessary state institutionfor which every citizen should pay the school taxes.” But they protest that thestate should destroy their parochial schools by meddling with them and prescribingin what and how they shall have the children in such schools instructed.

Hence they call for the repeal of the law or that the objectionable features be strickenout and that they will not support candidates for office who will not pledge themselvesto a repeal or amendment of the tyrannical law. A committee consisting of Messrs.Wm. F. JAHN of Thiensville, Martin BARTELT of Freistadt and A. SUELFLOW of Germantownwere appointed to call a public meeting before the November election.

While ascending the ladder, the roof fell on him, fracturing his back-bonein two places. The young man lived for about an hour after the accident.

As the Cooper election law did not apply to the election here, things were as theyused to be. The Bennett law was not made an issue, and that was wise. The followingticket was elected: W. F. JAHN, chairman; H. HEUER, P. BARTH, supervisors; Wm. CARBYS,clerk; Chas. PINKERT, assessor; Henry KURZ, treasurer; Fred THIERMANN, Fred GIERACH,Math SCHERER, justices; E. ALTEN, Fred LINDEN, M.

“HANG HIM OR DO SOMETHING WITH HIM”
“In Cook county, Ill., they would rather hang a man than keep him. At the presentsession of the criminal court now being held in Chicago, Judge HAINES insisted uponthe production before him of a man named Henry SUTLER, who has lain in jail withouttrial for twenty-one months. 'We'll have to hang him or do something with him.' Remarked the genial judge to the city's attorney; 'the county can't afford to keepa prisoner so long.'” - Ex.

We have a similar case in this county. A man by the name of KLOETY is ostensiblya prisoner, having been committed by Judge SLOAN sometime last year for contemptof court in not paying alimony to his wife. He has first rate boarding, loafs aboutthe city of Port Washington and within the so-called jail limits, but never failsto call for his meals which he eats with great appetite. He is said to be worthsomething like fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, but has signed over his propertyit is alleged for the purpose of evading the payment above mentioned. He is a miserof the first class and this punishment (?) just suit him. He is getting fat andnever enjoyed life more than he does now, because it costs him nothing. “We'll haveto hang him or do something with him” else he will bankrupt the county with his boardingbill. Why is it that the attorneys for the wife do not try to get the deeding ofhis property set aside as fraudulent?

A false alarm, or what was thought to be an alarm, brought out the Thiensville FireCo. on Wednesday afternoon of last week. It is the understanding between the membersof the company and BUBLITZ Bros., the saw mill owners, that when the service of theformer is needed to continuously blow the whistle of the steam engine used by them. Now, on that day, the whistle began to emit its discordant shrieks with such zealand perseverance that the entire community was aroused. In a jiffy the engine andhose cart were manned and swift horses were flying with them to the scene of thesupposed blaze. But our brave company, ever hungering to fight the red demon, wasgreatly surprised upon reaching the saw mill not to see any signs of fire. Theywere then informed that control was lost over the mechanism of the whistling attachmentof the engine and that the noise could not be stopped. A few minutes later somewise head, by plugging the whistle with a bag, succeeded in smothering the sound. Although this trip was a needless exertion on their part, the members of our companyreturned home with the satisfaction of having shown their fellow citizens that theyare always ready to serve them.

Having announced at intervals that some citizens left us, and at present leavingus by the score, our neighboring cities and villages may come to the conclusionsthat there will be nothing left of Grafton. Not by long shot! Grafton is stillalive, and it being so densely populated, we hardly notice the decrease. But citizensof Grafton, wake up! Put your shoulders to the wheel! We have the best manufacturingfacilities in the county, and as our syndicates nearly extend to the limits of theenterprising city of Cedarburg, we presume that after some they will reach us theirhand.

WHAT PASTOR WESEMANN OF GRAFTON SAYS ABOUT THE BENNETT LAW
In a letter directed to us, Pastor Fr. WESEMANN of the Ev. Luth. St. Paul's churchof Grafton, expresses his full approval of the position. The NEWS has taken on theBennett law issue. He points out that the prohibition element favoring that lawcan only result in strengthening the position taken by the church people and by allliberal minded men without regard to party. The pastor quotes the closing of anarticle published in the Western Good Templar to which we alluded in a former numberas follows: “the town (Horicon) is now cursed with several saloons, a brewery anda Lutheran church. It is made up of ignorance, superstition and drunkenness.” Thepastor fully indorses our opinion as to the decision of our Supreme Court on theuse of the bible in our public schools and as to praying in the legislature; he asa Lutheran, does not wish to be compelled to attend prayers by any clergymen or JewishRabbi. We have read several articles of Pastor WESEMANN contributed by him to the“Lutheraner” published at St. Louis which he kindly sent us, relating to compulsoryschool attendance and to school matters generally, with much interest. The gentlemanshows himself to be a worthy follower of his Lord and Master, whose teachings hesays, a portion of the protestant ministers only follow when it is not opposed totheir own fanatical ideas on temperance and prohibition, etc.

To say that such an enterprisewould not be supported by our community would be to show ignorance of affairs.
