The Waterloo Times Thursday, May 31, 1894 School Picnic. Probate court next week. Public schools close to-morrow. Green peas and spring lamb, Yum Yum Mumps are reported prevalent in some parts of the county. One of the burglars who beat, bound and gagged the watchman of Reichert's mill, at Freeburg a couple of weeks ago, and attempted to rob the safe, was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years H. Heusohn and J. Wichser will commence the dairy business on the Wisniath (formerly Drury) place on the first of June, where they will make butter for market. They want all the milk they can get, for which they will pay 70 cents per hundred pounds. John Deere 11 in. B. P. plows with extra share $11. John Deere Red Jacket plows with extra share $10.25. John Deere Pony corn plows $2.75. John Deere Double shovels cultivator $2.25 John Deere 13 and 14 inch rolling coulters $2.00 and $2.25. Champion (c_der) presses $16.00. F. Wiesenborn & Co., Ivy Landing, Ill. Peter Kipping had a narrow escape from a serious (if not, perhaps, a fatal) accident, Monday evening at the depot in this city. In attempting to get on the train he caught hold of the iron rod with his left hand and was swing around the wrong way and thrown down. Wm. Lang, who was fortunately standing by, caught him or he would have most surely gone down between the cars and we shudder to think what might have bee the result. He succeeded however in getting on the car, and by this time is doubtless at Buford, Mo., where he is to be married to-day to miss Julia Nose. Little "Tot" James had a narrow escape from a serious if not, perhaps, a fatal injury last Tuesday evening. He climbed up one of the tall trees at his mother's home to see into a bird's nest. All he remembers is that there were three birds and two eggs in the nest. He was at least 25 feet above the ground and he fell from that distance. The force of the fall took consciousness from him, but strange to say, no bones were broken and he was only slightly bruised. When falling he probably struck against branches of the tree and the force of the fall was broken. It was fortunate escape. Chester Clarion..

The Waterloo Times Thursday, May 24, 1894 Atty Al Bollinger will deliver the Memorial Day address at Columbia next Wednesday. Wm. Weber's team took a run around several blocks, last Thursday at noon without a driver. No damage done. J. W. Bischof moved his family over from Belleville yesterday and is occupying the rooms adjoining the Times office. Miss Mamie Koenigsmark was married to Mr. Henry Becker last evening at the residence of the bride's parents, this city. They tell a good joke on Louis Noelke. When he and his bride-elect appeared before the altar in the church last Thursday morning, and the marriage ceremony was about to commence, and Father Limacher asked him for the license, Louis discovered that he had left that important document at home, which caused an awkward delay until his groomsman, who was sent post haste for it, returned, when the ceremony proceeded without further interruption. The effect of the coal miner's strike is being felt for some extent in Waterloo. Both of the flouring mills here have shut down for want of fuel, and if the strike continues much longer other industries may have to do the same. M. Schorr has been getting some coal from Centreville by teams, but received word from there Tuesday not to send his teams again until notified to do so. He is using wood in his furnace and he says it is costing him $5 a day more than coal. The electric light plant has coal enough on hand for several weeks yet. Mr. Christ. Jobusch has a horse who has a liking for dainties and will not miss an opportunity to regale himself upon them whenever presented. Last Saturday morning when John Gaertner had hitched up his spring-wagon preparatory to starting home with his family to O'Fallon, a basket of ham sandwiches, cake and other edibles designed for lunch on the way, was placed in the rear end of the vehicle. The horse afore mentioned got his nose into it, and before he was discovered had eaten the entire contents and was licking his lips and winking his eyes in evident enjoyment of his feast.

I will review the books that I got from the Genealogical Society and see what I come up with. My sister keeps talking about my grandmother's blind sister with her own name Barbara that lived in St. Louis, and I was wondering how that was possible since I could only verify Anna and Joseph as the daughter and son of Josephine Schroeder ( my great-grandmother).

The Waterloo Times Thursday, May 10, 1894 Harrisonville Mr. Sam Whitehead spent Thursday in our town. Miss Anna Meier is visiting relatives in Staunton, Ill. "Jenkins" was up Sunday to take in our game of ball. Victor Castello of our place is visiting in St. Louis. Victor we miss you. The Misses Rainer, Horine and Cairns spent Saturday and Sunday with Mrs. Wm. Bamber. Miss Aggie Thompson has returned home after an absence of a week, but I'm informed contemplates leaving soon. Mr. Imore, our ferryman, on going down to the river the other morning found his boat about seventy-five yards from shore, tied to the fence. That vas bad, don't it.

The Waterloo Times Thursday, May 10, 1894 Columbia W. M. Warnock of Edwardsville visited relatives here Sunday. Miss May Stephens of St. Louis was the guest of Mrs. J. H. Wilson. The Republicans held their convention here Saturday. The delegates were instructed for Hon. E. Murphy, of East St. Louis. The Methodist Church South, will give a strawberry festival on the evening of the 15th, at Turners Hall. Doors will open at 7:30. Children's Day at the M. E.

The Waterloo Times Thursday, May 10, 1894 Mitchie Roads are rough. School closes this week. Baseball fever is increasing alarmingly. Henry Kohler was down from Waterloo on business Tuesday. Farm work is very forward and nearly everyone will finish planting this week. Chas. Moskop was in from Monroe City on a flying business trip Sunday evening. The river is up to the foot mark, but rising slowly and no danger is apprehended as it will be soon to late for high water. Deputy Assessor Henry Althoff was around this week, ascertaining how rich we were. Some of us are so poor we couldn't even own a dog. Our young friend Steve McCormick gave one of the nicest little social hops at Miller's hall in Harrisonville last Friday night that ever that town saw. Quite the number went up from this place, and all join in saying that as the "Ward McAlister" of Harrisonville Steve "gets there with both feet and his overcoat." When is the next one due? Our boys fitted themselves out in brand new suit last week, consisting of blue pants tan stockings, white shoes and a white and blue cap, and went up to tackle Harrisonville for a game Sunday afternoon. They got left to the tune of 23 to 20 but both clubs played good ball (especially for the short practice they have had) and the spectators were as deeply interested and nearly as well entertained as if it had been two professional clubs playing. Mitchie plays Ivy, at Ivy Sunday, and will try Harrisonville another round at the school picnic next Monday afternoon. We hope they win both games. The government boat Gen. Gilmore having aboard Maj. Allen and Capt. Carrie, was in at the head of Calico Island Tuesday to ascertain the situation in regard to the work necessary to stop the caving and protect the Trout levee from going into the river. They were met by Wm. Bode, Geo. Crocker and Bennett James, who explained matters, and while no promises were made "Jenkins" feels safe in predicting that you will soon see a right nice little government fleet at work there.

The Waterloo Times Thursday, March 29, 1894 Court Notes (spelling errors are typed as they are in the articles) Court week. And a very dull one. Judge Burroughs is presiding. No trials so far that have created outside interest. The grand jury adjourned at 3:00 yesterday afternoon for the term. Cause of the City vs. M & O. R. R. for obstructing crossing, dismissed defendant paying costs. The business of the term is dragging slowly, yet court may not adjourn before Saturday evening. Case of the City vs. George Ruch, for killing a beef inside the city limits dismissed on a technicality. The Grand jury visited the jail and poor house and found those institutions to be in good condition. Jas. Matthews appeared for trial upon indictment for assault with intent to kill. Case nolle pros'd. The petit jurors are having nothing to do as yet, but sit around the courtroom and listen to the wrangling of the lawyers. On the streets no more people were to be seen than on ordinary days, there being no sensational cases in court to attract county people to town. Messrs. Hartzel and Gordon, Chester; Goddard, Sparta; Lansden, Cairo; Riess, Red Bud; Winkelman, Belleville; attorneys were attending our court. When the grand jury was called, all but two members answered to their names. Wm. Rainer and Fred Diemert were substituted. The Judge delivered the customary charge; they then retired to their room and organized by chosing W. T. Demint forman, and Jos Klinkhardt and Jos. Arnin, clerks. Mike Oexner, indicted for grand larceny. Case called Monday. Jury empaneled. Evidence for prosecution heard. On motion of attorneys of Oexner-without hearing evidence for defense, case was taken from jury and defendant discharged in the ground that embezzlement should have been charged in the indictment.

The Waterloo Times Thursday, March 29, 1894 Mat. Schmitz (saddler) while at work last Saturday, accidentally ran an awl into the palm of his hand and severed a small artery. It bled very profusely. He hastened to Dr. Adelsberger's office where proper attention was given it. Mat. Will have to be idle for a few days. For the information of the public we would state that the dismissal of the case of the City vs. George Ruch does not invalidate the present ordinance relating to maintaining a slaughter house within the city limits. The suit was brought under the old ordinance and does not affect the new one, which was passed the regular way. Fire The bell on the engine house rang out an alarm of fire at four o'clock yesterday afternoon and hosecarriage were at the scenethe convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, on Fourth street. The started in the roof, and is supposed to have been caused by a flying spark. It was extinguished before the pumps of the engine were got to work. Had it got a good start there is no telling where it would have ended, as a high western wind was blowing.
