Dr. Wm. H. WIESLER, whose hobby is raising poultry, scored a second prize on Partidge Plymouth Rocks at the National Poultry Show held at Milwaukee last week.

At the session of the common council held last Wednesday evening, it was decided to extend the time of paying taxes until March 1st, without exacting the penalty of the additional two per cent usually added to delinquent tax-payers.

While crossing the tracks of the Milwaukee road Wednesday morning, Joseph FIEBER, aged 82 years, a farmer, resident of Saukville for more than seventy years, was struck by a train and killed almost instantly. Following a long established custom, he had gone to church in the morning, he was returning home when the tragedy occurred. The engineer had given the warning, but FIEBER was partly deaf. He had celebrated his golden wedding the night before. Besides the widow, six sons and one daughter survive.

That not all tramps are inclined to steal despite their ever-present hunger was demonstrated Sunday afternoon when a knight of the road entered OSWALD's bakery shop, was in the building alone for fully half an hour and never touched a bun. The shop is always closed on Sunday, but last Sunday the proprietor forgot to turn the key and the shop remained open. Neighbors who knew the family was gone, saw the 'bo enter, and when the proprietor was summoned sometime later, the hunger-ridden tramp was waiting patiently to buy a few morsels of food.

Miss Ida ZIMMERMANN of Madison was engaged by the school board to fill the vacancy in the 7th grade in our school caused by Miss WEINMAN's (unreadable words). Miss WEINMAN's resignation was not accepted and the school board was compelled to fill such vacancy. It is extremely unfortunate that some teachers do not recognize the solemn obligations of the contract and endeavor so far as they may, to live up to its terms. Unfortunately, there is little redress for a school board, when a teacher deliberately refuses to complete the terms of service for which she has been employed.

February 1st was the 25th anniversary of J. Fred WITTENBERG, with the Cedarburg Woolen Mills, of which he is president and general manager.

A number of his friends pleasantly surprised him in the evening. Those present were Messrs. and Mesdames Alvin and George WITTENBERG, Wm. RITTER, John FREDERIKSEN, FrSed J. SCHUETTE, Wm. HILGEN, Mrs. ROEBKEN Sr. and Jules BREUER, G. A. BOERNER, Fred KUETHER and R. C. PFITTNER.

He also conducted classes at various medical colleges in Milwaukee. About three years ago, he sold his practice at Thiensville to Dr. A. H. CARTHAUS and removed to Milwaukee with his family.

The news of Dr. ALBERS death was received with profound sorrow here and by the people of Thiensville. His many kind and charticable acts will never by forgotten. As a benefactor of mankind, Dr. ALBERS will ever be remembered.

Besides his wife, four children survive. They are Rose, John, Edgar and Carrie. the funeral took place this morning at 10:30 o'clock at Milwaukee and burial was at Forest (unreadable -- may be Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee).

LOCAL PEOPLE HEAR WILSON

(Unreadable words) Milwaukee Monday to hear Presint Wilson deliver an address on "Preparedness" at the Auditorium and returned home disappointed. Thousands of people from all over the entire state shared the fate similar to that of the local people, and of course, the committee who arranged the address, were "raked over the coals" for poor management in not letting all the people crowd into the massive hall. The fact of the matter is that 25,000 people wanted to crowd in a hall whose utmost capacity is 7,000 -- so there you are. Their dissatisfaction was appeased by the fact, however that they at least saw the great president.

Among those from this vicinity who were fortunate in gaining admittance was Postmaster C. B. CARSTENS of Grafton. Mr. CARSTENS took his position near the Auditorium at 11 o'clock in the morning and waited for over two hours for the door to open. At that, the nearest seat to the front that he could get was in the 21st row. Mr. CARSTENS described the audience as one of the most patriotic and enthusiastic he had ever seen. Time and time again the people would jump from their seats and cheer the president to the echo.
