EXCURSION TO WEST BEND
Our firemen and other citizens went to West Bend last Sunday early in the morningand the rest of the people were attending church. So we felt very lonesome and atabout 11 o'clock a.m. suddenly concluded to take a trip to our neighboring city alsoto see what was going on. So we got there about 1 o'clock just when the boys passedthrough the streets parading. It was quite a turnout and two music bands were playingin most excellent style. The firemen after marching to Schlitz Grove, were welcomedin a happy and humorous off-hand speech by our old friend, the Mayor of the city,Charles MILLER. A good many of our young women participated in the excursion andall were very much pleased with the trip and the entertainment they received fromthe citizens of West Bend. We are under particular obligation to Mayor MILLER, BankerFRANKBERG and Editor WITTMANN for the very pleasant spending of a few hours in theircompany. At the Mayor's house, we were very much pleased to find his old motherhappily domesticated who is now 86 years of age. The MILLER family came from Saxonyin 1842 and settled in our immediate vicinity in Mequon so that our acquaintancedates from that time of now nearly half a century. Mr. FRANKENBERG was also fora long time a citizen of Cedarburg, keeping a store with his deceased brother atHorn's Corners. Mr. WITTMANN is the son of our friend, Adolph WITTMANN of Manitowocand a chip off the old block.

For Port Washington, one hotel hadmade preparations for forty guests, but none came while Hartford sent a few at least. The West Benders were greatly disappointed in as much as they had made it a freeentertainment and divided up such visitors as they were announced among the differenthotels. Cedarburg had announced for fifty, but sent nearly one hundred, and allwere entertained at the old Goetter hotel in first-class style.

In orderto introduce these photographs, I offer them at special reduced rates. - H. W. DAMPF

About a year ago several robberies were committed in this city and town among whichwas the one at Mr. H. SCHELLENBERG's at Horn's Corner, where thieves entered hisbedroom and stole his watch and a small amount of cash. A few days ago, one of Mr.WILHARM's sons, a farmer near the city limits, entered the jewelry store of J. ARMBRUSTERand handed him a watch for repair; of course, Mr. A. recognized at once the stolenproperty and so informed Mr. SCHELLENBERG of the fact. Yesterday, Mr. S. went toPort and had WILHARMS arrested in order to ascertain the full particulars of thecase as WILHARMS claims to have traded the watch from an unknown person while ata picnic at West Bend. There is no doubt of Mr. W's innocence as the boys are knownto be honest and industrious.

WIRE NAILS
We find the following item in the Milwaukee Sentinel of yesterday. If the statisticsgiven by the Dry Goods Chronicle are correct, wire nails can be manufactured heremuch cheaper than in Europe and may become an article of export. The Cedarburg WireNail Company will be soon in operation having bought the best machinery for thatpurpose. Incidental protection has worked well in this branch of business.

“The Dry Goods Chronicle gives some interesting figures concerning the growth ofthe wire nail industry, and the steady reduction in the prices under the reasonableprotective policy, which has prevailed. Previous to 1883, the duty on wire nailswas 1 _ cents per lb. There were imported 1,500,000 kegs of 100 pounds each in 1882. During the same period there were manufactured in the United States less than 50,000kegs. The lowest known price up to that time was $6 a keg, and this was often runup to $10 a keg. In 1883 the duty was raised to 4 cents a pound. Under this protection,mills were built and thousands of hands were given employment. Not a keg of wirenails was imported after 1884. This latter fact is not surprising and pleasing featureof the advance in the duty is that in 1889 there wee manufactured in the United States,2,500,000 kegs of wire nails and they were sold at 2.2 and 2.5 cents a pound, orconsiderably less than half the lowest figure paid under a low duty. In the manufactureof this enormous amount of nails 25,000 operators were employed. The mills ran 300days in the year and the average wages paid was $2.15 a day.”
