Wouldn't that be a gold mine, if I had those? Unfortunately, Mrs. Menard, Post Mistress, kept to the laws of the Post Office and only revealed the names of those folks that hadn't picked up their mail for a while. Sorry!

Carol: Lots of families spread out among the surrounding counties. It wouldn't hurt to try the Cape list to see if there is anyone researching the Ketterer name there. It wouldn't hurt to check out all the counties surrounding Ste. Genevieve. The Ste. Genevieve Herald took little stories from other papers and they had correspondents for the Herald, in other towns (i.e. St. Mary, New Bremen, etc.). Since families were spread out, news was sent to the main papers, by these corredspondents to let everyone know what was going on elsewhere.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 DIED: On Saturday, June 9th, Josephine HAZEL, infant child of Alex HAZEL and Mary HAZEL, nee Mary SIEBERT, aged 10 months.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 Eph. GOSS has gone and done it, i.e., taken himself as his lawful wife, the amiable and accomplished Mary NELSON, on last Tuesday. We wish the young couple happiness and prosperity. On Tuesday Wm. A. HUBER and Sophia BECK were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. We take pleasure in tendering the happy young couple our sincere congratulations and regret that we were unable to attend the ceremony.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 HOUSEHOLD HINTS A little ginger put into sausage meat improves the flavor. In icing cakes, dip the knife frequently into cold water. Clean oil cloth with milk and water; a brush or soap will ruin it. Tumbles that have had milk in them should never be put in hot water. A small piece of charcoal in the pot with boiling cabbage removes the smell. A spoonful of stewed potatoes in the gravy of either roasted or fried meat is an improvement. In boiling meat for soup, use cold water to extract the juices. If the meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge in boiling water at once. The skin of a boiled egg is the most effective remedy that can be applied to a boil. Peel it carefully wet and apply to the part affected. It will draw off the matter and relieve the soreness in a few hours. You can get a bottle or barrel oil off any carpet or woolen stuff by applying buckwheat plentifully and faithfully. Never put water to such a grease spot, or liquid of any kind.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 ATTENTION FARMERS! Chas. BURGERT is the sole agent for the celebrated Deering Twine Binder, on Ste. Genevieve Co. He will sell you as good and cheap a selfbinder as any one. Come, see and be convinced. FAREWELL PICNIC! Not being able to pay for the coming high license, unless I am allowed to carry on my business on Sundays without being fleeced by a prosecuting attorney, I have con- cluded to give all my friends and acquaintances a farewell picnic, near my place at Zell on the com- ing 4th of July, and then shut up. I shall take care that nothing is wanting that will conduce to a first class celebration and a good time generally. Come one, come all! Chas. OBERMILLER HAVE WE A WEATHER PROPHET AMONG US? Since the days of the late lamented Noah, the weather prophet has been a well established institution, alike amongst the most highly civilized nations as amongst the rudest savages. This we regard as the most singular phenomenon in the world's history. Everything animate and inanimate, seems destined to change. Continents are said to have existed and faded away, until only a faint tradition of their former existance remains. Great nations have arisen, conquered the world, decayed and past away. Immense areas of land, that once were the most populous and fertile portions of the globe have become waste, barren deserts of sand. Cities that once were the seats of mighty empires, have been destroyed, so that only their names alone exist. Man himself, it is said, is but the highest form of animal life, gradually developed from the tadpole or the monkey. Change seems to be the immutable, universal law of nature. Yet amidst all this the weather prophet remained the same. From the first specimen known to history, who assurred Noah that "it was not going to be much of a shower after all" down to the immortal Wiggins, the race has continued to exist and flourish without perceptible variation. This well-established fact seems to have been completely overlooked by Darwin and his desciples, and is a complete answer, and refutation of this theory, according to which the gradual evolution of man from the lowest order of animal life, has been brought about by the use and disuse of certain physical features of the human body, some parts of the human frame, by the necessities and changing conditions of man, being strengthened and enlarged or lessened and changed. According to this theory, there should be an abnormal increase of cheek - as it is universally conceded from the remotest dawn of history that it is by the use of Cheek that weather prophets have gained their fame - of the genius weather prophet, yet we believe a careful examination of several distinguished members of that species, fails to show any remarkable difference from ordinary mortals. But we wander from the subject which is "Have We a Weather Prophet Amongst Us?" We are reliably informed that we have, and that his name is Joseph THOMURE, familiarly known, as "Truthful Jo." For many years past, he has been looked upon by his immediate neighbors as a weather prophet of the utmost reliability and only his excessive modesty has prevented his name from being noised abroad in the great world, but then true genius was ever modest and unassuming. Mr. THOMURE, unlike a majority of the the would-be weather prophets, does not base his calculations on the uncertain signs of the moon, or the deceptive ground-hog, but by some occult science known onlu to himself, he has discovered that by observing the direction of the wind on Good Friday the forecast of the weather may be made for the whole season. Now, we are imformed by one of our subscribers that Mr. THOMURE immediately after Good Friday said that the wind being in the North on that day, we would have wet weather until after harvest and after that we would have a long dry spell. That his prediction has been fulfilled so far our farmers know to their sorrow, and we call their attention to the future, and stake the reputation of our weather prophet upon the strict fulfillment of the prophecy.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 The adjourned term of the Circuit Court which was set for next Wednesday will be held by Judge THOMAS if the Judge, who some time ago fell from his horse, is well enough to travel. The "BEARD Case" for the trail of which this session was called could not be tried by Judge FOX as he is related to some of the interested parties. Mr. Wm. ROTH, of the German Settlement, has a natural curiosity; a lamb with three legs and - two tails. At least, he says it looks like it; one of the hind legs is so short that it is good for no other earthly use but to wag with, it being shorter than the tail. If any of our enterprising young men should take it into their heads to start an old curiosity shop, that lamb might be made serviceable as the nucleus, so to speak, around which to gather the collection. The members of the "Progressive Cornet Band" are as busy as bees, getting ready for their Grand Picnic in GROBE's Grove on the 4th. New pieces are rehearsed, a band wagon is being painted in fine style, their new and tasty parade uniforms are receiving the finishing touches, mammoth posters are scattered all over the country and, to judge from these and other preparations, it cand be safely stated that this will be one of the grandest 4th of July celebrations that we have had here for some time. HE IS DANGEROUS Louis SCHAEFER, a boy of about 12 years and living on the Plank Road near the city limits, got into a difficulty with a neighbor's boy, LAROSE, and, having inflicted a punishment on the same, drew down on him a sound thrashing which was administered last Sunday evening by LAROSE's bigger brother. This put SCHAEFER into such a rage that he went and got a shot-gun, the contents of which he emptied into LAROSE's house in rather dangerous proximity to the spot where the family was sitting. L.D. THURMAN, the city Marshal, promptly took charge of the young culprit but let him go, upon the recommendation of our good-hearted mayor, who fined him $1 and costs last Monday. 4TH OF JULY PICNIC The citizens of Bloomsdale will celebrate the 4th of July in magni- ficent style by a grand picnic, at which everything will be done to make the occassion one of rejoicing. A splendidn dinner will be served; price 25 cents. Neighbors and friends of the congregation from far and near are expected and will be cordially welcomed. On Sunday morning last, while Father PIGGE, of St. Joseph's church, was saying low mass, a sneak thief entered his residence, opened his writing desk and pocketed 15 pieces of money, mostly foreign coin, valued at about $10. As soon as the theft was discovered, a posse of men, consisting of Anton ECKERT, John and Christ. GREMMINGER, F.J. HUCK and Louis JOKERST, went in pursuit of the rascal, following his trail to the vicinity of August SCHILLI's farm, where he was apprehended. He was searched and the stolen money found in his pockets. He did not deny the theft, but said that he was compelled to steal because he could find no work and was very destitute. He gives his name as Frank RYAN, claims to be of Irish descent and, to judge from his white hands, has done very little work in his life. He had a razor, pocket knife, box of matches, ball of twine, 2 silk handkerchiefs and a memorandum book in his pockets. He was brought to Ste. Genevieve and delivered over intothe coustody of the sheriff. On Monday he waived preliminary examination, and is now in the county hotel. As he answers the description of one Elijah HENSON, who is wanted by the authorities of Carrolton, Greene Co., Ill., for murder, and for whose capture a $400 reward is offered, Sheriff NAUMAN telegraphed to the sheriff of that county to come and identify him. On tuesday night he arrived, saw the man, and declared him not the party wanted; he left again on Wednesday morning.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 We have fair prospects for a railroad, glass factory, steam ferry and a new flour mill. Verily, Ste. Genevieve is "booming." This we know, that our future depends on our present, therefore strike while the iron is hot and do not defer to subscribe to the glass factory, if you mean to do it. A GRAND 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION! A grand Picnic and Festival will be given at St. Mary, on July 4th, for the benefit of the Catholic Church, to which all are cordially invited. As the 4th of July is approaching and also the time when the Downing high license bill will be a thorn in the side of all honest liquor dealers, I am determined to sell all my stock at St. Louis wholesale prices. Whoever wishes to buy cheap and yet good whiskey may get it at Chas. ROTTLER's On Main street. We understand that Tony SAMSON and Geo. LASOURCE, the engineer, have purchased a steam ferry, and will, on July 1st, be able to make connection between Illinois and Missouri for the accommodation of passengers and teams. A ferry boat is of great benefit to Ste. Genevieve and we hope the two gentlemen will have better success than their predecessors; they deserve it and Ste. Genevieve needs it. C.A. HERTER has just secured the services of a first-class Cutter and is now prepared to furnish men, youths and boys with well-fitted garments. Our Deputy Post Master was fooling around Mr. J.B. GUIGNON's bee hives the other day. The bees went to work on him with their business end and now Peter carries one of his eyes in a sling. Just as we go to press we are informed that during the thunderstorm which raged Friday afternoon, one of Mr. Wm. SKEWES' horses, which was standing in the yard at the time, was killed by a flash of lightening. Our young friend John HOGENMILLER, who returned from the Cape recently, has been employed as clerk in J.L. BOVERIE's store. John is an industrious young man and will undoubtly make a first-class salesman. He will begin work in his new situation on July 1st. A small deluge poured down in the night between Monday and Tuesday, with due accompaniment of thunder and lightening, and the South Gabouri roared like a cataract. In dropping down the garnered fullness of their fruitful stores, the clouds have, of late, been somewhat overdoing it and might as well stop for a while. When we saw John DALLAS last week with a smile on his face, we could not help thinking that he had received good news, and it was so. He had just come from the post office with a letter from his son Peter whom he suppose dead but who is now working at LaGrange, Texas, about 100 miles east of San Antonio and situated on the Colorado river. Farmers are invited to call and see the celebrated "Whitney Improved Platform Binder," the best binder in the Market at H. LUECKE'S. Young married men have ceased to emigrate to Iowa. The state produces more twins than any other State in the Union. A servant who dprided herself on living in a genteel family, being asked to define the term, said: "Where they keep a carriage, have three or four kinds of wine and never pay a bill the first time it is called for."

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 9, 1883 EXAMINATION AT THE CONVENT The annual examination of the young ladies attending the academy conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, was held in the school hall of that institution. It commenced at 8 o'clock A.M. on Tuesday May 29, and was brought to a termination on Wednesday, May 30, at 11:30 A.M. The students were closely catechised in the following studies: Spelling, English Grammer, Ancient and Modern Geography, Mental and Practical Arithmetic, Rhetoric, German, History, French, Botany, Criterion, Elocution, Algebra, Geometry, Physiology, Literature, and Book Keeping, besides giving exhibitions of their proficiency and penmanship. The examination was conducted by the principal, Sister Maria. The manual exercises of a class in calisthenics attracted much attention. It is a branch of the main study of elocution, and is intended for the developement of the pupils arms and chests, and to expand and strengthen their lungs. The proficiency displayed by Miss Emma LeCOMPTE commands the highest praise. Possessed, as the young lady is, of a clear, strong intellect, a retentive memory, uncommon powers of mental application, and a rare determination to succeed, she has mastered the cirriculum of studies pursued in the academy, and will graduate at the end of June. Her answering in Botany, Geometry, and Literature was above criticism. The problems on the celestial and terrestrial globes were interesting. Misses Octavia BEAUDET, Marie STANTON and Belle ZIEGLER, of the First Senior Class, deserve special mention. In the Second Senior Class, Misses Annie ANDRE, Ida COX, and Minnie FLYNN, were the most noticeable. In the German Class, which is under the tutelage of Sister Walburga, Misses Cora LeCOMPTE, Annie ANDRE and Minnie VICH, are entitled to great credit for the knowledge of that noble language which they exhibited. Many other young ladies are worthy of notice, but the brevity of space at out disposal precludes mention of all but the most distinguished. Although the examination was not public, a tolerably large audience was present, among which were Fathers WEISS and GANDOLPHO, Dr. Andre, and Mr. FLYNN of Richwoods, Mo., whose daughter attends the academy. There will be a public exhibition in the school hall of the institution on June 25. This promises to be a rare treat, as dialogues, recitations...

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 9, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE Harrisville, Mo. June 4, 1883 Mr. Editor: Seeing that you have no correspondent in this place, I thought I would drop you a few items which you may publish if you choose. Our landlord, Mr. PITMAN, concluded the other day to leave these diggings, and the hotel is now in charge of Mr. SALES. Mr. J. LaCHANCE, the lieutenant editor of the "Best and Only" was out here last Sunday on one of his usual trips; it seems he has a good prospect here, to look after. The prospects for wheat and other farm products are not very promising in this section of the county, as they were more or less hurt by the frosts of May the 22nd and 23rd. Our baseball club has again sprung to life and even had the audacity to challenge the club of your city; the game came off last Sunday, when our boys were badly beaten; they stood 11 to 62 in favor of the Ste. Genevieve boys. The mines are in a flourishing condition, the company having at present about one hundred men at work. During the last month, there were 337,000 pounds of ore hauled to the furnace, which was the largest quanity of ore ever hauled in any one month, since the mines are n operation. E.S.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 9, 1883 FOR SALE: A House and Lot in the Northern part of Ste. Genevieve, formerly owned by August GIRARD. A most desirable piece of property with all the conveniences necessary for family use. For terms apply to A.C. HERTICH, Agent. Mr. Jules BOYER has a rosebush that is certainly a curiosity. The roses, which are of a deep red color, show in the middle of the corolla from one to three well defined rosebuds, that grown out of the roses on stems about three inches long. The phenomenon has never been observed on the bush. Last Sunday we observed this freak of nature for the first time in our life. Willie ABERNATHY, who was serving a sentence of one year in the jail for grand larcency, was pardoned on May the 31st, by the Governor on petition of the Judge of the circuit court, the jury that tried the case, and other prominent men. The boy was discharged from the jail on Saturday night at about ten o'clock, the time when the document giving him his freedom reached the Sheriff. We hope the lesson has done him good. On Wednesday before last, as Mr. Frank BABB was hauling a load of corn from the lumberyard, he felt the sack on which he sat, slipping from under him, and jumping from the wagon alighted on a stick, being so unfortunate as to sprain his foot. The limb did not hurt him much at the time, but proved to be more crippled after a time then he thought. Since Sunday the invalid has been taking airings with crutches but he is getting alright again. Our county court evidently don't think our county attorney knows much about law - and they must be right - for they did not consult him in regard to the legality of issuing the Court House bonds. But still the people elected him county attorney, and as such he is the legal advisor of the Co. Court upon all Co. affairs, and common courtesy demanded that he should have been consulted about the matter. He could not have made a worse guess than the court did. Mr. J. FLIEG brought a handful of wheat ears to town this week of the kind called Tapahanoc, which looked quite sound and nice but proved upon closer investigation to be entirely empty. Mr. FLIEG tells us that he looked over the whole field and found but very few ears containing two or three solitary grains. This is a terribel state of affairs, and if it should prevail over the whole county, the wheat harvest will prove even a greater failure than was first anticipated. Progress is pre-eminently a child of the nineteenth century. Progress is the watchword even of old Ste. Genevieve, if it is true that glass factories, railroads, &c. will be built here. Progress is also made by our young "Progressive Brass Band" under F.A. GEILER as leader. Scarcely has the latest pleasure picnic passed from our memory, and again they are making preparations to celebrate the 4th of July, in magnificent style. A tournament in baseball playing between the Ste. Genevieve and St. Louis clubs will take place on the grounds and hundreds of guests from St. Louis have promised their participation. The band will, on that day, turn out in their gorgeous new uniforms for the first time. A grand parade will inaugurate the festivity. The day is to be a festive day for Ste. Genevieve and vicinity. It is to be hoped that the sun and sky will smile upon the festive occassion. God speed! A GENTLE SNUB The following letter was received by our Co. Clerk, C.C. KERLAGON, last week in answer to one written by him in obedience to the order of the county court in reference to the legality of the Court House bond issue: STATE OF MISSOURI Office of Attorney General City of Jefferson, May 24, 1883 Mr. C.C. Kerlagon, Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Dear Sir: If you will look at Sec. 504, 514 & 517 R.S., you will at once see that I am not the proper person to advise the County Court, indeed, that I cannot do it, and that it is expressly made the duty of the prosecuting attorney. Under these circumstances I must decline to give any opinion in the matter referred to, unless he sees proper to call upon me. Of course I could answer you just as well, but the statute has provided otherwise, and I prefer to follow the statute. I will add this, the court should take no action without being advised, for it is evident to my mind that the court entertains erroneous notions about the matter, and again you are mistaken about Art. 2 of chapter 95 R.S. - it was not revised. Respectfully, D.H. McINTIRE This letter, though couched in diplomatic language, can only be construed into a "gentle snub" for our court. He first reminds them that it is not his business to give legal advice to county courts, but at the same time very broadly hints that they (the court) are sadly in need of a little advice and suggests that, as they evidently entertain certain erroneous opinions in regard to their powers, that they had better get legal advice before they go any further in the matter.
Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 9, 1883 Who will be the next occupant of our county jail? Good, fresh Butter at 10 cents per lb. at C.A. HERTER's. The Attorney General has a level head - he agrees with the Herald. The county court snubbed our Prosecuting Attorney and the Att'y General snubs the county court, so that honors are even. Mr. Michael ARNOLD says that a swallow, which is almost entirely white, has sought her abode on his place, there being no black on her except the wings. A natural curiosity. $10,000 is the amount of our present county revenue; in order to pay that amount in ten years our county taxes would be increased about 15 per cent for the next ten years. The best 5 cent Cigars in the city at J.W. WILKINSON's. Our printers were treated to a bucket of cherries on Monday last by Dr. KRATZSCH. The present was kindly given and gratefully accepted, but, the boys asy, will bear repition, as the vessel was rather diminutive. Repetas, doctor, repetas. Nicholas WEHNER & Son have just received 350,000 feet of lumber and 450,000 shingles, of which 300,000 are of the Eau Claire *A* Extra Clear. At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Ste. Genevieve last week, Mr. Kilian GRIESHABER was re-elected street commissioner of the city. In the course of this month there will be published a paper in St. Mary, called the Little Joker, a business advertising sheet. A.L. LUNSFORD will publish it. HOOSS & HUBER, the hotel keepers at Perryville, will build a new brick ice house this summer, for which purpose they have bought 30,000 brick. John BRAUN, the clothes thief, who was sentenced to six days imprisonment in the county jail by the justice of the peace, was released last Monday. A good riddance. A Grand Picnic will be given on the 15th day of August next, near the River aux Vases bridge by Mr. Ferd. BIESER, overseer of the St. Mary Road. The proceeds of the festival will be appropriated to the improvement of the said road. George NAUMAN, the butcher of Farmington and brother of our sheriff, walked away from his home on last Friday night and has not been heard from since. On Monday morning the horse also disappeared, and the supposition is that it was stolen. Ice Cream - All those who appreciate a delicious plate of Ice Cream, are herewith informed that MRS. LEON JOKERST will, on every Sunday, be prepared to accommodate guests. Best attention assured. Fne lunch-table set in the commodious Billiard Hall. Private room for ladies. On Sunday last Mr. C.A. HERTER, Bart. JOKERST, John HAURY and others took a pleasure trip to Mrs. DOLL's farm, about 4 miles North of Ste. Genevieve. They all speak in glowing terms of the kind reception and generous treatment they received at the hand of Mrs. DOLL and Mrs. BEQUETTE, her amiable daughter. Mr. HERTER says the day will long be remembered as one of the pleasantest of his life and in the name of the party, takes this occassion to thank the ladies for the kindness bestowed upon them.
