Pearl fishing has become quite popular on some of the interior streams in the state,but it is only quite recently that pearl producing clams have been known to existin the Milwaukee river. It is said that quite a large number of pearls have beentaken from this river but as the finders are reticent and will not say where theclams are to be found, comparatively little is to be known about the discoveries. It is claimed, however, that successful pearling has been done near Cedarburg andGrafton.

Not all clams are pearl producers and the hunters will be unable to find pearls inmany of the clams in the various streams. It may be well to suggest, now that pearlingis likely to become the rage, that persons who engage in pearl hunting should avoiddestroying of these different varieties as well as the kind from which gems are taken. There is no necessity for doing so, as the shells can be opened, the pearls takenout and the clams returned to the water uninjured, and perhaps ready to begin theirwork over again.

Last Thursday being Mr. Jac. BECKER's (Hamilton) birthday, quite a number of Hamiltonand Mequon folks reminded him of the happy event. His guests enjoyed themselvesby dancing.

The Mequon bandserenaded him, and also rendered some choice dance music. Long life to you, Jake!

THE COUNTY FAIR

The fair held at Cedarburg last week was a great success. At no time since its organizationsome thirty years ago, was such a large attendance of citizens. Nearly one thousanddollars in cash must have been taken in at the gates and for family and exhibitors'tickets. The exhibition in all branches was a very fair one and the horse race onthe splendid track were well conducted, drawing an immense crowd around the track. The building for the exhibition of the fine arts, etc. proved much too small, althoughit is of the same dimensions as at our larger neighboring county of Washington atits fair. Many exhibitors could secure no room in it. We learn that at the nextfair, an addition to the building of at least double the size will be made togetherwith other improvements, so as to satisfy all exhibitors and visitors.

Messrs. JOCHEM and FRIEDMANN of the temperance bar inside of the inclosure and theirlunch stand were not prepared for such a large attendance and the provisions gaveout after a while. It was the same, as far as the eating arrangements were concerned,at the lager beer hall just outside of the inclosure, presided over by Mr. SCHELLENBERG. The hotels of the city were filled and all seemed to do a good business. As soonas we can get the official returns, we shall give the result in the next issue ofTHE NEWS.

THE ASSEMBLY AND COUNTY TICKET

The proceedings of the democratic convention held on Saturday of last week will befound in to-days NEWS. The candidates before the convention, with perhaps a singleexception, were all good men and true and we for one regret that there was not roomfor all to go on the ticket. It is perhaps as good a ticket as was ever presentedas a whole to the people of this county, and when it is considered that the delegateshad to be guided somewhat by local interest, they certainly did the best they couldunder the circumstances as the task was a difficult one to say the least.

Whoever fired that bullet that glanced the door of Mr. HOFFMAN's butcher shop, oughtto be punished for carelessly handling of weapons. The authorities ought to seeto it in time, and stop the nuisance.

As we understand, efforts are being made to raise a campaign fund among our citizenshere. Now, would it not be more creditable to our citizens and village if a fundwas raised for the building of a new engine house or a town hall? The people wouldsubscribe liberally for the latter purposes.

Last Sunday while two of our young men returned from Green Bay on the 2:15 train,noticed a dim light and heard some noise in the depot; thinking there was a thiefinside, they at first piled a lot of stones on the platform, then one of the partiesaroused the neighbors, the other keeping guard of the front door. It didn't takelong there were one dozen or more big burly fellows scattered around the buildingwaiting for the burglar to come out. The poor fellow inside was almost scared todeath when he heard the noise, while those outside were even more so, fearing thefellow may show fight. It was found later on that the agent fell asleep and whenaroused he crawled under the table for protection. The dim light was caused by scarcityof oil.

THE OFFICE OF DIST. ATTY. FROM ANOTHER VIEW
To the Editor of The NEWS:
In the last two issues of the Port Washington Star, appeared a correspondence purportingto come from Cedarburg in which D. M. JACKSON is boomed for Dist. Atty. and faultis found with the present incumbent. That correspondent either does not know thefacts or maliciously perverts them in order to injure the present incumbent, to satisfya personal grudge. The facts are as appears from the records, that during D. M.JACKSON's term of office there was nothing of importance to be done, yet there weretwo district attorneys D. M. JACKSON elected and E. S. TURNER appointed by the court,and toward the end of D. M. JACKSON's term the county board hired still another attorney,and paid him fifty dollars to collect the money due to the County from the said D.M. JACKSON.

CITIZENS MEETING
Citizens meeting held last Monday evening at the Turn Hall in this cit was addressedby Mr. KUEGLER in English and Rev. Mr. SCHUETTE in German. Both gentlemen residein Milwaukee and the hall was filled to its utmost capacity. The speakers were introducedby Hon. Wm. H. FITZGERALD, charman of the city committee; Mr. KUEGLER spoke firstin English, exclusively on the Bennett law and made many points which were loudlyapplauded. At the close of his remarks, he said a few appropriate words in German. But the speech of the evening was made by Pastor SCHUETTE, and we may truly saythat he delivered the most telling and best German off hand address, which was everour good fortune to listen to in the old Hall where so many good and able speakershave been heard during the last thirty years. The speaker left nothing untouchedrelating to the Bennett law. He spoke of the efforts made to create jealousy betweenthe Lutherans and Catholics; he said that the object was well understood by his peopleand that it would not have the least effect. As an illustration he said: supposemy Catholic neighbor comes into a butcher shop to buy sausages, but discovers thatthey are smelling badly and refuses to take them; soon after a Lutheran friend comesto the shop to buy the same article and the same sausages, that his Catholic neighborrefused to take, were handed to him; she smells of them and says they smell badlyI do not want them. Now, says the Speaker, these sausages represent the Bennettlaw, must I as a Lutheran take and eat them because my Catholic friends has refusedthem?

Pastor SCHUETTE held his audience spell-bound for nearly two hours and everybodywas delighted who heard him. It will be a good while before we shall listen againto such a talented German speaker. We understand he talks equally well in English. Among the audience on the platform and in the house we noticed a number of clergymen from West Bend, Salters, Grafton, and Cedarburg.
