Anthrex, a contagious and invariably fatal disease, has broken out among cattle ownedby farmers along the Cedar creek. Mrs. LAUBENSTEIN and Mr. HICKEY have been thehardest sufferers. Mrs. LAUBENSTEIN thus far having lost four head. The diseaseis described as seeming to paralyze the animal and after an hour or so swellingsappear on the legs and brisket, after which death speedily ensues. There is no curefor this disease, but to try and save those of the cattle which are still unaffectedby isolating the sick ones.

There is one thing peculiar about this disease is that thus far it has only attackedcows that have grazed on the banks of the Cedar Creek. From this peculiarity ithas been inferred that a farmer whose cattle have become affected, buried an infectedanimal on the banks of the stream, the virus of the disease poisoning the water ofwhich these animals drank and thereby contracted the disease.

Mr. and Mrs. HILLER, old and respected people of the village, had a narrow escapeof succumbing to the effects of coal gas escaping from a coalstove. They were foundin an unconscious condition by Dr. E. J. SMITH who soon restored them to the normalstate. What is curious is that a number of neighbors passed into the house beforethe Doctor, and did not notice the coal gas in the room.

A number of law-suits grew out of the rows around town on election evening; one caseseems to attract a great deal of attraction. The case was postponed until to-morrow,nearly half of the town will go as witnesses. It will be quite an expensive billto the loser.

Two Italians visited our burg last week with a trained bear at a chain, which gavea graceful performance of McGINTY at the corner tavern for the entertainment "ofthe poor German boy" just coming from "the little red school-house."

The editor of the STAR seems to be back on the other side of the fence again congratulatinghis former fellow friends on the recent election. He is of the opinion that localissues ought to be forgotten now not knowing that anybody cared for him nor knewthem as the STAR only furnished others' local issues during the election not his. He seems not to realize how little we missed him nor how little he benefited HOARDand his party. His occupying a box at the Davidson theatre in company with otherspretended friends during a republican speech apparently had very little practicaleffect. We trust that he is back now at his paste-pot in the service of the "bestpaper" in the county and proving himself a good sound democrat and continuallybooming his city.

An observant exchange, noting the anxiety of business men to keep peddlers out oftheir towns, says this rule ought to work to the protection of printers as well asagainst outside competition. A man who canvasses for printed stationery in a townwhere there is a printing office should be compelled to pay a license to the townin the same way medicine men, peddlers and other canvassers throughout the countryare compelled to do. The home printer is allowed no protection, but is expectedto boom the town and its business enterprises, gratis and do all its defending. There is no justice in this agreement. Town ordinances ought to protect other businessmen.

As there is not sufficient water in the immediate neighborhood,it would have been useless to sound the fire alarm bell for the assistance of ourFire Co. Many of the household goods were saved by the timely arrival of the neighborswho kindly rendered assistance. The building was insured in the Cedarburg MutualIns. Co. for $400.

They were in receipt of many useful presents, in the compositionof which, tin was chiefly used. Enough of this kind of ware was received that theywill not be obliged to feel the effect of the high prices of tinware which the workingsof that "perfect" McKinley bill have brought about, at least for one year.

The guests appropriated the vacant rooms above the Hamilton general store for thepurpose of "tripping the light fantastic toe" or dancing, which they didwith wonderful spirit and perseverance. At about 11 o'clock the hosts served hisguests a supper, of which we can well say was a credit to the hots and to which thosepresent did ample justice. Dancing was then resumed with increased zeal, and keptup until the red streaks in the east heralded the coming of old "sol" remindingthem that it was time to depart which the 75 or more guests did forthwith.

AN IMPORTANT CASE CONCERNING THE USE OF THE WATERS OF CEDAR CREEK
An interesting case, which has come up for argument on a demurrer, is occupying theattention of the Circuit Court this afternoon. It is the case of the Cedar LakeHotel Co. vs. the Cedar Lake Hydraulic Co., an action to abate a dam built twenty-fiveor thirty years ago. The dam is the outlet of big Cedar Lake and drains the waterbelow the low water mark. The hotel company claim the existence of the dam is detrimentalto their business in keeping the lake water so low as to be of little use to visitors,etc. while the hydraulic company depends upon it to furnish power for half a dozenor more manufacturing plants it has the contract for running. The case promisesto be an interesting and protracted one between the two concerns. Judge James MALLORYof Milwaukee, and Barney and KUECHENMEISTER appear for the Hotel company, while attorneyGlenway MAXON represents the interests of the Hydraulic enterprise - West BendDemocrat

The issue is between Judge MALLORY's hotel enterprise and the mills all alongthe Cedar Creek below the outlet of the lake. "Without the use of such reservoiras the big lake furnishes, the water powers would suffer immense damages. If theLord had not intended that the waters should be used in the way they are now, Hewould not have caused an outlet to me made, and Judge MALLORY and his hotel enterprisewould always enjoy the same stage of water. It is rather cool that these mills,five of them in and about this city, should be deprived of the water they need inorder to accommodate a few stragglers from Milwaukee and Chicago during a few weekseach summer, who think a foot or two more of water is necessary to their comfort.
