Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, 30 Sept 1882 [Communicated] THE FARMINGTON RACES On Monday there was heavy rain and plenty of mud. Entered for 1 mile dash: Mayflower, owned by ALEXANDER, Pathfinder, owned by Jno. STAMM, and Jim White, owned by Chas. BURK. On account of the rain only Mayflower and Jim White started. Jim was tapped off on a stand still, with Mayflower on the run, so that, as Jim had to turn, Mayflower had 30 yds. the start. Jim caught Mayflower at the one-half mile post, but catching one of his plates in the mud, lost it and came very near falling. the celebrated M.F. got eight or ten lengths ahead; Jim closed the gap but M.F. gained the race. Time 1-51. Tuesday opened up cloudy, with the track still muddy. The fine young colt, Path Finder, and Jim White where started in a mile and repeat. Path finder got the track, both were started even by the tap of the drum; fleet-footed Jim led from the score. It was one of the fastest and most exciting races on record. P.F. tried to pass Jim on the back stretch; he made several dashes but Jim's rider let him go, and P.F. was unable to come up to him. Jim came out like a thoroughbred, winning the first heat in 1-49. In the next heat they started even, Jim having the track and leading for the first half mile with ease. P.F.'s rider made several dashes, again tried to pass, but couldn't succeed. Jim's rider, running under a hard pull, let P.F. run under his hips. P.F. pulled behind him and undertook to cut him down, hitched Jim's plate and pulled it off. P.F. turned a summerset, throwing the rider, and Jim galloped down the remaining half mile, winning the race. Considering the condition of the track, it is considered one of the fastest races on record. Wednesday opened up clear and fine, the track being considerably better. Sally Cunningham, owned by Chas. BURKS and Nic. Counts, owned by Jeff COUNTS started in a one-half mile and repeat. The fine young racer, N.C., cut off 30 or 40 feet ahead of the score, but the fleet-footed Sally caught him before he reached the one-fourth pole and beat him 60 0r 70 feet with ease. Time 52 sec. In the next heat Sally was leading from the score and won the race with ease in 53 seconds, beating the beautiful sorrel 75 yards. SPORTSMAN

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, 30 Sept 1882 I will stand my stallion on my farm from Oct. 1 to Nov. 31. Jos. FLIEG John SCHMIEDERER has sold his place North of Maxvell's Hill to Anton SCHLATTMAN for $900. Charles BURGERT was badly bruised upon Thursday last, while trying to shoe the horse of Louis COTOIS. Geo. KUHN, who has heretofore lived on the old STOKER place, has bought Corn. ARNOLD's place, we hear, for about $1700. There is a good prospect of copper on Wendlin NAGER's place in New Offenburg. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has sunk a shaft there, 100 ft. deep. Fine specimens have also been found at Nich. GRIESHABER's, at Phil. STAAB's and at John WEILER's. Monsieur BASILE was doubtful how to find vent for his exuberant spirits on Sunday evening and, having an opportunity to show his proficiency in wrestling, did it so well that he fell on his knee, hurting it severely. He ought to fall on his heel the next time. On the 9th of October our old town will witness quite an exodus as the trial F. BABB vs. C. ROY will come off at Perryville on that day. The sheriff, several lawyers, witnesses, etc., summonded to appear at Perryville, will leave the town to the mercy of the ladies. Last Saturday some young men amused themselves at the copper mines with acting "William Tell shooting at the apple". Apples being considered somewhat too small a hat substituted, not exactly on the head of a boy, but in the hand of a young man. The marksman not being a Tell, hit the finger of the young man that held up the hat. Mr. CREMORE is said to have purchased a cow of Capt. THOMSON, which is quite a curiosity. Five legs, 3 horns, 2 mouths, and 2 tails should be attractive enough for BARNUM himself. (Rest of the article is missing.) JAMESISM IN PERRY COUNTY On Saturday evening, Sept. 16th, four ment entered the house of Abel SWAN, a farmer residing about 1 mile frm Wittemberg, with the intent of getting his money for this year's wheat crop. As Mr. SWAN recognized some of them and addressed them quite familiarly, telling them that they could take his life but not his money, they became frightened and left without accomplishing their purpose. One of the gang, Jno. McDOWAL has been arrested and is now in jail. PICNIC AND BALL On Monday, October 2, 1882, F. SCHIRMANN will arrange a Grand Picnic near the River aux Vases bridge. The picnic will conclude with a dance at the Quarry House in the evening. Good music, excellent beer, and other refreshments, also entertainments of various kinds will be provided. Candidates, this will perhaps be the last chance of seeing your friends before the election. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.

I, too, am really enjoying the articles from the Ste. Genevieve Herald. I have found my relatives mentioned several times, but even if I hadn't, I would enjoy the articles. They are so interesting! Thank you for taking the time to share them with us! Thanks again, Patty Baumann-Erdman

I am thoroughly enjoying these articles from the Ste. Genevieve Herald. I even found my grandmother's name (Kate Basler) in the unclaimed mail. Thank you so much.

Valentine ROTTLER is the building man of Ste. Genevieve. No one has, in so short a time, put up so many and so fine structures as he. The ice-house, residence, and brewery are all commodious, roomy and substantial buildings, designed and reared by an architect who understands his business, of brickwork, and seemingly intended to last forever. The elegant residence, the spacious ice-house, and the imposing new brewery just completed, are not only an acquisition to the owner, but also an ornament to the town and a standing advertisement for the builder, John WHITLOCK. Thursday evening our officials locked up a woman who had partaken a little too freely of the spirituous cheer that barkeepers are wont to dispense in a liquid state, she apparently not caring much whether it was sodawater, beer, wine or whiskey. Old Bourbon undoubtedly preponderated, as she told the officers in the vernacular of the daughters of the Green Isle: "Be Jabers, I'm a good Dimocrat, sir." John COOK and Doc. DONAHUGH bet $5.00 a piece that week as to who could beat the other in catching fish, Geo. SEXAUER and Charles REHM being selected as umpires. The match was to come off last Saturday, and the parties proceeded to the scene of their contention after indulging freely in such cheer as came handy. Their spirits were excellent and did not miss the river but missed catching any fish. ==== MOSTEGEN Mailing List ==== The Ste.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Sept. 23, 1882 Frank DECK's hand is rapidly getting better and he hopes soon to be able to do light work. Pine Valley School, in District No. 47, situated near Jno. WEILER's farm, will begin on Monday, Oct. 16, Mr. Daniel LOIDA, master presiding. New Offenburg has another physician, Dr. KRATZSCH. For a considerable time the people of N.O. have been obliged to do without a home physician, and we hope that in Dr. K. they have aquired the competent and faithful medical aid they really need, and that the Doctor will find a pleasant and remunerative sphere for his responsible and often disagreeable vocation. Where is out City Council? Now listen: Marble Hill, a little town of 3 or 4 hundred inhabitants, is going to have street lamps. You hear it? And said lamps are to be put up and run at the expense of her business men. This is commendable. But business men alone do not require street lamps; other people are benefited by them as well. We need a few more lamps in Ste. Genevieve and the city ought to furnish them. The City Council was called to meet at the Mayor's office this week to deliberate upon the advisability of a quarantine between this place and Prairie du Rocher, as a family in the neighborhood of that place was down with the smallpox, four members having already succumbed to the malady. It was thought best to have the thing investigated before taking any further steps and Dr. ANDRE was selected as city physician and, as such, was requested to learn what he could of the case and report. We hear that Dr. ANDRE was over in Illinois Wednesday to see about the smallpox and reports the rumor to have been somwhat exagerated. We are glad that a quarantine is not needed.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Sept. 16, 1882 REPUBLICIAN CONVENTION The Ste. Genevieve County Republician Mass Convention met at the Court House in Ste. Genevieve, Mo., pursuant to notice publicly given. The convention was called to order by George BOND, chairman of the Republican Central Committee, who explained the object of the meeting. On motion, Henry ROSEMAN was made chairman of the convention and Henry KNAMM secretary. On motion, the chairman was requested to appoint a committee of 3 on the order of business. Louis SCHAAF, Jules BOVERIE, and William H. BANTZ were appointed as such committee. A recess of 10 minutes was taken to give the committee time to prepare their report.

Respectfully, Louis SCHAAF, Chairman The report was unanimously adopted. Mr. WHITLEDGE offered the following resolutions which were adopted: Be it so resolved by the Republicans of Ste. Genevieve County in Convention assembled: 1. That we believe in the right of the people to rule and that we condemn the attempt of any man or set of men to dictate a course or policy for the party in this State. That a regular Convention alone has a right to decide such questions. 2. Be it further resolved that as the State Central Committee has refused to call a Convention, that we recognize the Convention called at Jefferson City on the 20th inst. as ligitimate and that the delegates elected this day are instructed to attend said Convention and represent the Republicans of this County. 3. Be it resolved that we deplore the internal dissensions and factional fight within the Republican party in this State and that our delegates to the Convention use their influence to place the organization of the party in the hands of men who have not been prominently connected with either faction. 4. Be it further resolved that we regard it essential to the welfare of the Republican party that our organization shall be kept intact and that we regard it as impolitic for the Republican party to make any coalition with any party. That it is more honorable to loose, fighting for principle, than to win by any dishonest combination with Greenbackism or any other ism. Mr. KLEIN offered the following resolution which was carried: Be it resolved that a Mass Meeting of the Republicans of Ste. Genevieve Co. shall be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, at 2 o'clock p.m., at the Court House in the City of Ste. Genevieve, for the purpose of considering the propriety of nominating a County ticket for Ste. Genevieve County. A motion was made and carried that the money collected by Mr. THURMAN should be retained by him to defray expenses of meeting to be held on the 23d. Mr. WHITLEDGE offered a resolution which was carried that the proceedings of this meeting should be presented to the HERALD, the Globe-Democrat, and the Fair Play for publication. After this the convention adjourned sine die. Henry ROSEMAN, Chairman Henry KNAMM, Secretary

REHM and was lodged in jail for expressing his savage approval of the treacherous onslaught of Bill WILLIAMS on the City Marshal. Dep. Frank BABB's colored driver - and a good driver is Dep, Frank says - was very near being dragged to shreads last Sunday. Driving along somewhere along the River aux Vases, the reins broke and in trying to regain his hold of the end, Dep scared the beasts, so that they set off at full speed upsetting the buggy and dragging the hapless driver for some distance. The top of the buggy was entirely ruined and the driver much bruised about the face and hip. Last Sunday night Louis D. THURMAN arrested a colored man, Samuel J. Casey, al. Chas. PETIT, who is suspected of being the murderer of Dr. Crawford. Several persons say they can identify him as the man who was last seen in old "Uncle George's" company.
