Newport's Rise and Fall in Sauk County History
The Newport story recounts 1850s plans for a inland port at the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, a Milwaukee backed hydraulic scheme, a Kilbourn railroad route shift, and a boom that collapsed amid rival interests. By 1868 only four houses remain, with a memory preserved by Sauk County historians.

Revival Strengthens Churches in District Evangelist Work
The Ladies Aid Society grew from three church members to twenty seven of thirty two. Centuria and Balsam Lake churches gained strength from District Evangelist efforts, likely splitting St. Croix Falls Circuit next year. Intensive meetings new to Meth odism raised its profile, despite illness threats. Fifteen people joined the church, the organization was rehabilitated, and new officials were installed.
