I would be insulted also. Too bad that library won't take donations of genealogical material. I've never heard of a library that didn't have at least a small genealogy section and welcome what ever was brought in to improve and enlarge it. I hope you will consider donating your material to one of the other libraries in Jefferson Co, so we all will benefit from it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 9:19 PM Subject: [MOJEFFER] New Library in Arnold > Sorry folks that really ticked me off.

Bettye: Susan R. Buder is this particluar R.W.'s sister-in-law - there are actually 3 R.W.'s - grandfather, son and grandson.. I have looked for an obit in the Post Dispatch and Globe Democrat. I even checked the Pacific, Franklin Co. newspapers, because, R.W's son, another R.W. (& the grandson), lived in Eureka, St. Louis Co., thinking that R.W. #1's passing would have been mentioned there. There was nothing. I was hoping that since he lived in Jeff Co., that I would get lucky and find a mention of him, but I don't know what newspapers were available in Jeff Co., during that time period and area.

[AD not transcribed] Square Deal Clothing House. J. F. GREEN started, last Sunday, for Centreville, Reynolds county. The attorneys down there had requested him to come and hold the term of court for Judge THOMAS. By the way, what is the matter with Frank succeeding Judge THOMAS on the Circuit court bench of this district? W. B. MORGAN, who used to teach school here, was in the county this week visiting his old friends. He is located at Trisdad? Col., where he is practicing law. He and Miss W???a THOMAS, while on their way from De Soto to Hillsboro, last Monday, had the misfortune of the buggy breaking down with them, but neither was hurt. A regular communication of Joachim Lodge, No. ?? A. F. A. A. M. will be held at their hall, in Hillsboro, next Saturday, evening. There will probably be w??? in the First and Second degrees and the annual election of officers is to take place, so full attendance of members is desired. Please take notice and be governed accordingly. The Hillsboro Sunday school will have its annual picnic? next Saturday, in Mr. THOMAS’ grove, and it is hoped that all the people in town will take part. It is to be a basket picnic - only strawberries and lemonade to be furnished by the school. All will be welcome, and if they fail to get enough to eat, it will be because they fail to being enough along with them. The K. of P., L. O. O. F. and a. ?? W. lodges, of St. Francois county, are going to have a basket picnic and steamboat excursion on the Fourth of July, and they invite the members of said orders in this county to participate. The Arcadia and Boone Terre trains will convey the excursionist to Herculaneum, where the steamer Grand Republic will ???? them. The excursion will be up the river, beyond St. Louis, and return. Railroad fare, #1; steamboat $1. those desiring tickets from this plac e can apply to the editor of this paper. The case of MARKLER? vs. The Bonne Terre Railroad Company brought to ?? town several prominent citizens of St. Francois county, including Judge CARTER and Mr. R???th WEBER, as attorneys for defendant, and Mesers WILDE?, SERVICE? AND HOBBE? as witnesses. MACKLER was represented by a sharp young lawyer from St. Louis, named SMITH, but he failed to get his case before the jury, as the other side knocked him out on technicalities. He will have to ??? and come again, and it looks doubtful about his ever getting a hearing of the case on its merits. Stephen AUBUCHON of De Soto had some more bad luck last Tuesday. His team, standing hitched in front of his store, got frightened at a locomotive and jerked loose and ran wildly down the street. On turning the corner near SMITH’s stable one of the horses struck a tree and got on of its legs so badly broken that it had to be killed. Mr. AUBUCHON did not seem to mind the damage done to the wagon, but he did hate to lose the horse, as it was a fine one, and is the third he has lost by accident since last September. It looks like fate is against him. A very quiet wedding took place on Monday last (2?th) at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. J. W.

Editor Jefferson Democrat No man should go through this life without making an effort to learn something, and a two-weeks attendance in Circuit court, will little else to ???? look and listen, afforded and opportunity for gaining information of great value to a student; and as this opportunity has been mine, I feel like giving the public the benefit of a few of the most important facts which I have gathered. It appears from my careful observation that it is the business, as well as the duty, of the lawyers to instruct the judge, juries, witnesses and all others, and I was often surprised at the perversity and obstinacy of Judge DINNING?, who so often acted contrary tot he advice so generously furnished him by the lawyers. A man can not learn much at court unless eh knows it from lawyers, for they do nearly all the talking and take up most of the time, and I presume that is what they are there for: and when they go to so much trouble to inform judge, jurors, witnesses and litigants as to what they ought to do, it seems to me that their advice would be more carefully considered than it is. I was also much surprised at the action of the juries. There were several instances where they brought in verdicts just the opposite to what the lawyers told them they should do. And then there is that pestiferous fellow, Frank GREEN, the prosecuting attorney! According to the unanimously -expressed opinion of the other lawyers, Frank is a blood-thirsty, selfish individual, whose only business is to prosecute innocent people for his own amusement and personal gain. There was Willie GILLERT tried for stealing guns; the evidence was indisputable as is his gain, but lawyer ????? plainly told the jury to acquit him, and instead of doing as they said he was guilty and must go two years to the pen. Frank GREEN upheld them in their ???? verdict and the judge refused to give him another trial, when KLEINSHCMIDT told him just as positively and plainly as he could that the verdict would be set aside and a new trial granted. George BAUER was treated just as badly. The jury found him guilty of some offense and said he, too, must go to the pen, and Frank GREEN and Judge DINNING seemed just as cruel as the jury, for they refused any relief, after lawyers WILLIAMS and THOMAS had told them in strong language that BAUER was innocent and had never committed a crime, Peter BARTON was almost as badly treated. He is the young man who waylaid and assaulted Mayor ADAMS of Festus. Lawyer DEARING told the judge and jury that BARTON was innocent and a young man of excellent character; but in the face of all this the jury ??? he was guilty and must pay a fine of $100 and lay two months in jail. Frank GREEN was cruel enough to suggest to the jury, that a man who would be in wait to assault, at the dead hour of night, a public official for doing what he believed to be his duty, ought to be sent to the penitentiary, but the jury had been taking his cruel advice for two weeks, and had at last concluded to act somewhat mercifully. I don’t see much use in having lawyers if judges and jurors will not pay any more respect to their advice. Hillsboro, May 24, 1890. M.

HJD1890B_19.jpg HJD1890B_20.jpg HJD1890B_21.jpg Jefferson Democrat - transcribed by Linda in MO Thursday, May 29, 1890 part 2 Washington Letter. The Republican leaders have rushed through the conglomeration they nicknamed a tariff bill amid the imprecations of their political friends and the jeers of their political enemies. McKinley, the father of the measure, might well say with one of all: “Another such victory and we are undone.” such a bright partisan as Ben BUTTERWORTH openly declared that enough Republican votes would have been forth coming to defeat the bill had they not full confidence in the Senate and their political brethren to endeavor to make it a little more respectable as economic legislation. The Democrats are perfectly satisfied they say with the bill as a specimen of Republican handiwork, and want nothing better with which to appeal to the people in the approaching campaign. They say that it will take more fat than was ever fried out of the monpolists to gain a political victory with this tariff bill for a platform. It is queer into what troubles the christian politicians of the Republican persuasions got through their brothers-in-law. Almost every administration for the “grand old party” brings forth a scandal in which the aforesaid ?????tion figures as a scapegoat and the injured individual suffering for his wife’s relations, is generally a presbyterian deacon. Unlike Artemus Ward, who was willing to sacrifice all his wife’s family to put down the wicked rebellion, these good deacons, perhaps under home influence, endeavor to protect their kindred by marriage. The last instance of civil services Commissioner Lyman and the theft of examination papers by brother in law, is fresh in the minds of the public, so nothing need be said about. But it has, perhaps, been forgotten that under a former Republican administration another brother-in-law raised a stew through the larceny of papers from the post office department. His name was [next column] Channel, and being a brother-in-law to Chief Clerk French, like Lyman a deacon, it gave him the opportunity to enter the department after office hours and steal copies of the bids on numberless mail contracts, which information he sold to their contractors for a small consideration. Undoubtedly it would be advisable for the good Republicans in leading positions to keep their wife’s family in other than public office. There will occur during the coming fall a first class opportunity to test the popularity of Ex-president CLEVELAND, not with the politicians with the people. This ch??? will be afforded by the tour of the country, which of course, will be unavoidable, as much as Mr. CLEVELAND dislikes display, made necessary by his a???p?ance of the invitation tendered by Governor ROSS, of Texas, to visit the Dallas Fair as the guest of the citizens of that banner Democratic State. It is desired, Mr. CLEVELAND willing, to have him go by one route and return by the other, so that he would travel over every southern state and nearly over the West this side of the Mississippi River. There is no question here of the popularity of the late President with the people, both north and south although the politicians don’t hanker after him over much, and it is predicted that his excursions will be triumphal tour rarely equaled in this country. It must be said, though, that Democratic Congressmen, as a rule, do not class CLEVELAND ad their favorite, but they readily acknowledge his great strength with the people, and at the proper time they will fall into line and join the procession which will put him back in the White House. Senators on the Democratic side in the Senate say that Mr. CARLISLE will be a valuable addition to their number. In the House the Kentuckian was out of place, as he is eminently fair and courteous in debate, and not at all aggressive. But he is a mental giant, and, in the Senate where decorum and order are the chief features, he will prove and invaluable aid to the party. Mr. CARLISLE will make the first set speech of his in the Senate when the tariff bill comes under consideration. It may not be generally known that the older Senators consider it presumptuous for a new man to take part in the proceedings of that body within the first year after entrance,. Let a newly elected Senator jump into a discussion and a horror stricken look will cover the faces of all his seniors. Indeed, it is precarious for the reputation of a new man to do so, as the older men will mark him down as upstartish, and it will be a long while before they will have forgotten the initial incident in his senatorial career. Mr. CARLISLE has been buried because he will not assume that conspicuous position in his new sphere that he held in the lower branch of Congress. The battle over the river and harbor bill has opened with the odds at present a little against the bill. Not that its passage will not be easy enough in the House, but it will be subject to the same delays in the Senate which it has experienced in the House, and this, of course, will prevent its reaching the President much, if any, before the close of the session. There the snag will be encountered, the friends of the measure fear, as HARRISON is not much in love with river and harbor improvements and would rather spend millions subsidizing foreign steamship lines than in works of improvement in our own seaports and inland water ways.

We recognize the right of the Republicans to hold secret caucuses, and we have never made an effort to pry into their secrets, but, under the circumstances of the call; we contend that any citizen had a right to expect admittance, and we will confess that we did not enjoy the laugh at all; still we are not going to condemn them for turning their mass meeting into a secret caucus. Secret caucuses are republican, and it is appropriate that they should transact their business in that manner. That is the way they are running the business in Congress.They decide in secret caucus that a Democratic member must be austed and a Republican given the seat, or, that a bill must be passed, and they are all bound to vote as the caucus dictates, or judgment may oppose. go ahead, Jefferson County Republicans!

The same number will also contain illustrations of incidents during the cruise of the squadron of evolution, and a double-page view of the Garfield Monument which is to be dedicated on Memorial Day. ---------------------------------------- The plays and pastimes of “A Boy’s Town” are described in the installment of Howell’s story in the number of Harper’s Young People to be published May 27th. The author will doubtless be ?lled with questions as to who that boy mentioned by him was, “who wanted to be a pirate, and ended by inventing a steam-governor.” ---------------------------------------- Quite a serious complaint was laid before as this week against the city authorities of De Soto. Whether there are just grounds or not for the complain we do not know, but we do know that the impression is gaining grounds that there is quite a discrimination made against country people and in favor of citizens of De Soto; that while there are chronic drunkards in the city, who do as they please, country people must not attempt any privileges at all; and a little ventilation through the press is not going to injure any one who only did his duty faithfully and impartially. the claim is made, in regard to the present case, that a couple of young men from Big River, were arrested and confined in the alaboose for a couple of hours without trial, only for being a little noisy on the streets; while a negro man - resident of De Soto - did some loud swearing and threatening on the main street, and was not molested. If the city marshal can show a different stat of facts from this, be should do so at once, otherwise he will be considered as acting with prejudice against the Big River boys.

SPARKS? lost? one of his fine grey horses?, Monday. The Grand Jury has just adjourned. It could have ???? ???? ????, but had trouble in getting witnesses. John MURPHY of East St. Louis, who spent his boyhood days in this county, was here this week visiting his old friends. Plows, Cultivators, Corn planters, Corn drills, Reapers and Mowers and other farming implements, all of ??? make and at lowest prices, at Henry HURTGEN’s, Hillsboro, Mo. Judge ???? McCORMICK had just returned from a two week visit to his home? of Birmingham, Alabama. He reports them well and thriving ?????ly.. For sale at a bargain [blurry] Francis McKEE is not only good looking, as the girls say, but he is also lucky. He has been squandering? some of his loose change in the Louisiana Lottery, and drew $200? this month. He also claims to have drawn $300? last month, but we did not see the “?????tials?” for that drawing. Buggies, phaetons, surreys, and every style of carriage, made to order on short notice, if not on hand, by F. HACKE. De Soto. Patent wheels and steel axles always kept on hand, so that repairs can be promptly made. Licensed to marry - Fritz O??? and Mary FACHS John F. STULKEN? and Anna WILLS Frederick WILLOWROCK and Lizzie STULKEN George F. ???? and Mary STUART? John P. NICHAN? and Mary K. C. CRAEMER? George B. BROWN and Anne HELTERBRAND Thomas N. MOORE and Lizzie B. WALLACE 25 Men Wanted! Wanted, 25 men to work in quarry on Hillsboro and Victoria gravel road. Apply to Jos. J. HOEKEN, Hillsboro, Mo. We understand that Henry BLUMENSTENGEL was very indignant, after his trial last Saturday, because “Drs. WYNE, MONROE, DEEER?” and others had testified that he was of unsound mind As an evidence of insanity, Mr. WYNN cited the fact that BLUMENSTENGLE once ran for Mayor of De Soto. 13 men wanted to work in clay mines, steady work at 1.25 to 1.40 per day. Also one or two men with small families. Address, L. MANDLE, Regina Mo. We have just learned that Thomas BLAKE?, who formerly resided in this county, is in jail in St. Louis, charged with murdering and robbing a man in Washington county, and that the evidence is quite strong against him. He is under indictment at Potosi, but kept in St. Louis as a more secure place. Those needing anything in the line of Saddlery, Harness, &c. are invited to call at my store, as I am making a change in my business and selling out everything at net cost. H. HAMEL, De Soto, Mo. When M???? ???ically asked, “Cause? ??? ???? is a ???? ??? ????” he ???? knew that mankind would one day be blessed with Ayer’s Sasaparilla. In purifying the blood, this powerful alternative ??? tone and strength to every functive and faculty of the system. Saddlery and Harness are now going at cost at H. HAMEL’S, De Soto, Mo. Those who need anything in that line should call soon and secure a bargain. We see no good reason why Hillsboro should not have a ????ing ??? and creamery too. There is a big ????? country surrounding the county seat, which is a ????? adapted to wheat calsing? and for meadow purposes it can not be beaten anywhere. Capital, too, is plentiful, and it is about time that our people do something for their home place instead of investing all their savings in adjacent cities or towns. Charity should begin at home. ‘Tis strange, ladies will go on month after month suffering from some female disorder, which one bottle of Dr. DROMGOOLE’s Female Bitters would speedily correct. From a private letter we learn that Mrs. John HOLMES?, late of this county, has been very sick in St. Louis, where she resides at present, and that she is now recovering. Miss Jennie is in Texas, where she is establishing a good reputation as teacher. Baren? is in ?ried and also follows teaching; Duane is in business and doing very well. During the remainder of this season Capt? W. H. WASHBURN will keep his horse, tow day in each week, at LEPP’s old stand, near COLE’s mill. Please take service. Parties contributing society ???? to this paper will please be careful in writing names, both of persons and things, especially in giving descriptions of dresses. There is nobody connected with this office, who could tell the difference between a lady dressed in the height of fashion and one not dressed at all, and as in the names and styles of dresses we are equally ignorant. We defy competition on our 5, 7, 10 and 15 dollar men’s sails in prices, quality and fabric. Give us a call before buying, which will be to your own interest, as a dollar saved is a dollar made. Square Deal Clothing House. Louis OGLE and William WEBER unite in a letter of thanks to Judge DINNING, the jury and their attorney, Joseph J. WILLIAMS, for the manner of trial and verdict in the case against OGLE, which was before the Circuit court last week, and in which the defendant was acquitted. The case came up on an appeal from ‘Squire ZOLLMAN, where OGLE was out one dollar. This mention will be sufficient. For sale cheap, 2 full-blooded Berkshire boars, one sow with 10 pigs, and a few Merino back lambs, some of which will shear from 10 to 12 pounds of wool. Address, C. H. SMITH, De Soto, Mo. Conductor Johnny NELSON?, who was recently shot in the hand, was in town Tuesday, on a visit to relations and looking after his landed interests here. Mr. BOHMLE?, who was also shot by a tramp about the same time, is reported on being out of danger. Mr NELSON talks of this town as a good place to start a creamery, and as Johnny has a fine farm near here, his talk will amount to something. F. HACKE, of De Soto, is making a speciality in the manufactur of farm wagons, which he sells at St. Louis prices. They are the best and lightest running wagons extant. Go see them and examine work and prices, and patronize a home institution. Every wagon guaranteed to give satisfaction. [new column]
