Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 10, 1883 St. Valentine's day next Wednesday. The pay of the county judges has been increased to $5.00 a day, by the State Legislature. We tender our thanks to Hon. L.G. PATTERSON for documents lately sent up from Jefferson City. FOR RENT: 4 rooms on the 2d.floor, on 3d. street. South of Market, cheap. Inquire at Joe. VORST's. Another medical spring has been discovered on the premises of Chas. NATIONS near Longtown, Perry Co., Mo. Mr. FACE, the S. Mary brickmaker, has returned from Salem, where he has been engaged in his trade lately. All those who have not paid their county taxes as yet will have the pleasure of paying a penalty of 2 per cent. A number of exchanges report the wheat crop as looking poorly. Several of our farmers make the same complaint. We are under obligations to Hon. R.B. OLIVER, State Senator from this district, for public documents, recently received. If you don't want to get "mad" about ugly valentines, don't look at them, but pok them into the stove, unopened, signed, sealed and delivered as they came. Mrs. WEILER and Mrs. RHEAM made quite a spill of it on the Perryville Road last Thursday. A wag says that the horse shied at the ProsecutingAttorney, who just happened by. Rev. L. BOON, colored, formerly of our city, but now of St. Mary, has been visiting some of our neighboring counties, endeavoring to raise money to build a church at St. Mary for "the down trodden race." -- Perryville Union. The Mardi Gras Ball at Union Hall last Monday night was a grand success, and Leon showed his gratitude by promptly arranging a children's ball on Tuesday night, which was well attended. (Note: Leon is Leon JOKERST --sjr.) Mr. J.A. PARKER, of Iron Mountain, has a cow that gave birth to beautiful twin calves a few days ago. They are nearly alike as two peas. Mr. PARKER says she has done this ever since he has owned her. The millrights at work in the Cone Mills here, are getting along well with their work, the only drawback being the want of material, which cannot be got here except by way of the Iron Mountain railroad. Sleighriding and skating was the order of the day for the last week. Great and small, rich and poor, noble and ignoble enjoyed the sport, and as far as we could learn, there were no bones broken in this neighborhood up to date. John L. BOVERIE has been up to St. Louis for some time for the purchase of laying in a new and complete stock of spring goods. Mr. BOVERIE went up to Montana, February the 1st and came back Tuesday by the way of Red Bud.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 DIED: Jan. 27, at 7 o'clock a.m. of malaria fever: EDWARD BEEHLER aged two years. five months, and twenty two days.

We wish the young couple a long and happy life, which they both deserve.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 St. Mary, Jan. 29th, 1883 There was a ball at the residence of Mr. BROWN, who lives about one mile and a half from here, on Friday night of last week, which was attended by quite a number of young folks from town. As it was "as dark as pitch" that night, several accidents happened, which are more or less attributed to the miserable condition of the road, but no serious harm was done. One wagon, containing nine persons, was overturned and dumped its gay cargo into the mud; another wagon wason the point of falling down a bank of fifteen feet depth, but all went passably well; broken bones and concussions there were none to speak of, for the mud was very soft. A young gentleman on horseback, who was of the party, had the misfortune to fall with his horse, but was not injured. The worse luck of all had B. PRATTE, who, it is said, had been in Ste. Genevieve on Friday and from there also went to the ball. Probably the horse was overheated during the day, and when B. went home on Saturday morning, he had barely ridden a couple of hundred yards or so when the horse fell dead, and B. had to foot it. POOR OLD DAN This is not Dan, the firebrand, but Dan, the Gray, a quadruped of the horsekind, once owned by Frank BABB, and famous for his traveling powers and - keenly outlined bones. He it was that paid in his checks, as reported in the St. Mary correspondence, and left Mr. B. PRATTE so suddenly without the least warning. He was a fine saddlehorse, as we can testify, especially when the rider had the fever; for his jogtrot would drive any malignant fever out of any the most malignant man on earth, without leaving any other sign to tell the tale, but a sore spot ot two, into which the fever was banished. By-the-by, this wonderful horse was dead once before. Charley LALUMENDIERE had him dead on the Plank Road some time ago, probably because he was tired of the beast, but old Dan wouldn't hear to it and shortly the old gray made his appearance, hale and hearty. Who knows know that it might have been his ghost who lingered so long among us, just come back to play tricks upon young men in good spirits. The report has it that Frank KOHLMAN, the young farmer who lives near New Bourbon, while splitting fence rails in company with George STEIGER, had the misfortune to have his ear split by a splinter flying against his head. Jack COAL, who has his own particular ideas about everything will give no credence to this version of the affair, but contends that Frank and George rehearsed the Passion Play in the woods, George acting the part of Peter and Frank that of Malchus, the servant of the high priest. For want of a sword, George provided himself with an axe, being as yet inexperienced in the use of an American wood-chopper's ax, he did not succeed in severing the member and only split it. Jack don't know who played the part of the healing Master but we have a suspicion that they had none and had to come to town for one.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 Willie ABERNATHY, the young innocent in jail here, was marked out for two years in the pen by the grand jury at the special term of Circuit Court last week, but Judge FOX commuted the sentence into one year's imprisonment in the county jail, because the prisoner was under 18 years of age when he committed the crime. It is said that the young saint cried tears at his trial, and some evil minded persons even hinted that he cried them to order, cut and dried so to speak, but we don't believe a word of it. The colored jail bird, ADAMS, was fined $100 and 30 days imprisonment in the county jail. If at the expiration of his term, he is not able to pay the fine - which he will not be - he will be given a chance to work his time out in the road, at a rate of $1 a day. A week ago last Monday, Simon GRAF saw a panther in the neighborhood of St. Mary. Simon went after the beast with his dog but could not get near enough for a good shot and so the animal escaped. I hear that Andrew WOLF saw panther tracks on Henry OTT's place near town. Mr. Louis SCHAFF, the efficient superintendent of the St. Mary Mills, was confined to his bed last week by a severe attack of fever, but is at present convalescent. The Utica Observer says that in an emigrant car which passed through that city recently, was a child 7 years of age, who had crossed the ocean from Germany without any protector. On his breast was sewed a label with the following inscription in large letters: "SCHEIDENREICH, care Heinrich STROLBERG, Keokuk, Iowa, Nord Amerika". T.B. WHITLEDGE ATTORNEY AT LAW ST. MARY, MO.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 Our friend William HURST of New Bremen knows something of agriculture, to be sure. He believes in investing in hogs at the proper time, for he raised a fine lot this season which will be hard to beat. The other day he killed 14 head averaging 300 pounds a piece. The heaviest weighed 384. Hog raising is a paying business if rationally conducted, with a good breed, and if no sickness destroys the hopes of the husbandman. To morrow commences Carnival, or Carnevale, as the Italian calls it (Farewell to meat.). In the Southern parts of the United States the French name Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) has been extensively adopted to designate the feast. The festival is one of rejoicing and as the Italian name indicates, immediately preceeds the time of lent, when meat is prohibited for certain days in the week in the Catholic church. In Germany, Tuesday is the principal day in the series, when the young men march around the town with wooden pitch forks, upon which they string all the gifts they are lucky enough to get, consisting principally in sausages and other eatables, intended for the grand closing feast of Tuesday night, when a ball concludes the festival. William MUELLER, our old friend from Holstein, who has his solitary domicile on the creek, euphoriously named "Silly Boy", was very near losing his home by fire on New Year's day. He had provided a fine Christmas tree for his children, and, like a good old Christian from fatherland, had kept the same until New Year's day for the purpose of having his little ones enjoy again the glorious spectacle of the sacred branch laden with all that can tempt a child's fancy and lighted up with numerous tapers shedding effulgence upon the good gifts displayed before the admiring eyes. The Christmas tree was lighted up accordingly but a little more than what was desired, for the branch had become rather dry and catching fire, blazed up and filled the room with a sudden glare. However our old friend William being an old asilor and ready for any emergency, nothing dismayed, seized the blazing branch and sailed out of the house with it like a good fellow. His presence of mind and intrepid spirit undoubtedly prevented a great disaster. The audience at Union Hall on Saturday last, although moderate in size, was, as usual, composed of our most intelligent citizens. Only those who have cultured taste can appreciate the classic drama of Hamlet. To say that Dr. BRAHAM recited well, would fall short of his deserts. He is an actor, "to the manor born", his soul is fired with the passions he delincates, and as a consquence, time flies on meteor wings, when he is reciting. Those who miss his rendition of the dialogues in Hamlet, let slip an intellectual treat. seldom presented. At the request of many, whom the inclement weather prevented from being present at the Shakespearean recitations, at Union Hall on Saturday last, Dr. J.W. BRAHAM has kindly consented to repeat them, at the same place. On Thursday, Feb. 8, 1883, therefore commencing as usual at 8 o'clock P.M., the public will be afforded another opportunity to hear the doctor in his excellent declamations. Ladies especially invited. Admission 10cts. Prof. J. FLYNN will be the next lecturer. Subject - "True Education". A DARING FEAT On Thursday of last week, two men presented themselves at the Little Rock Landing, this place, and expressed themselves desirous of crossing the river. As the river was partly blocked up by ice, Capt. THOMPSON did not feel inclined to venture the risk; but the men being anxious to be ferried over by some means, the Captain's son determined to take them across in a skiff, and he did so, although he was obliged to pull his little craft over several large cakes of ice. The landing of the skiff upon the ice and its lowering again into the water were particularly dangerous, and the young man has undoubtedly earned for himself the well desreved title of a brave young man.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 MEYER's Hotel is booming. Grand Carnival Ball at Union Hall on Monday next. A colored barber in St. Joseph contributed $5 to the German relief fund, unsolicited. Remember that Michael VICH keeps on hand all those delicacies that cannot be got elsewhere. The jolly company, who attended the WIPFLER ball on Monday, returned rather early; the sun had not risen. Joe. VORST, sent about 100 names, signed to a petition against submission of prohibitory amendment to St. Louis. Wm. SCHUCHER, of Chester, has again been elected Secretary of the Southern Illinois Stock and Agricultural Association. - Berryville Union. FOR RENT: House and lot formerly owned by John BASLER, and lately purchased by Nicholas WEHNER. For terms apply to A.C. HERTICH, Agent. Some genius has invented a machine to play pianos. This will give American girls a chance to help mother hang out the clothes Monday afternoon. The river is again partly open to trade. Two boats went up the river last Wednesday and in Thursday the "Mab" went up, taking some barges from Little Rock. Squire PIQUET reported the "Ste. Genevieve" to have sunk near Chester last week, but it was all a joke, like the one about "Webb's Landing" originated by the same wag. Do not forget that we have a full and varied stock of fencing materials, such as dressed up pickets, rough pickets, both white and yellow pine, split pine pickets, posts, railings, planks, etc. at lowest possible prices. Mrs. J. FALK & Son A phantom party was given by some of the young folks in town, on Wednesday night, at Charles SCHOETTLER's residence. The spectacle is reported to have been really ghostly, sepulchral, so to speak, but nevertheless the ladies and gentlemen enjoyed it hugely and kept up the glee until a late hour. GRAND CARNIVAL BALL Leon JOKERST, the floor manager par excellence of Ste. Genevieve, will give a Grand Ball at Union Hall on MONDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 5TH This is the last chance before Lent and as Leon understands his business thoroughly and is anxious to please his guests, everybody ought to attend. There is plenty of fun ahead. Admission 50 cents, and attention, refreshments &c. as usual. Come one, come all. A surprised party was improvised last Sunday night for the celebration of the 62nd birthday of our old friend Joe JOKERST. Everything was extemporary, the beer and the other delicacies, the songs, the speeches, the toasts, the witticisms, and the enjoyment of the fun by the company made the occasion one worthy of grateful rememberance.

From a news release -- Suntimes News, June 15, 2004 STE. GENEVIEVE -- Project Pioneers has set a meeting for Saturday, June 26, at 10 a.m. to meet with this year's . The meeting will be held at the Ozark Regional Library on Highway 32 in Ste. Genevieve. Family members will be able to check information on their families in the books, which are about 95 percent complete. Changes can still be made up until this date. The books are expected to go to the printer the first week in August. "It's important that we get the families there, as we have to schedule work times, plan cookies and refreshments and finalize what their displays will be," said Barbara Basler, chairman of Project Pioneers

The LEAD BELT NEWS, Flat River, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, Feb. 18, 1949. MILITARY BURIAL FOR STE. GENEVIEVE BOYS. The bodies of two Ste. Genevieve brothers who were killed in action overseas, Lt. Leo A. Donze and Pfc. Marion Donze, were returned home Wednesday. Ste. Genevieve business houses were closed from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday when their funeral services were held. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post escorted the bodies from the railroad station to Jerry Stanton Mortuary Wednesday, and provided an honor guard at the mortuary throughout the day. Services were held at 9:30 a.m. in Ste. Genevieve Catholic Church, with full military burial, including a firing squad and a band, in Calvary Cemetery. Leo Donze, 26, Air Force operations officer, was killed Dec. 7, 1942, in a plane crash in Oran, North Africa. He formerly operated a filling station in Ste. Genevieve. Marion Donze, 32, was killed in Germany Apr. 15, 1945. Formerly an insurance salesman, he left a widow and a son, Joel. The brothers were the sons of Meinard Donze, retired Ste. Genevieve farmer, and the late Mrs. Donze.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 27, 1883 DIED: Mrs. GREIN, on Wednesday morning, at the residence of Charles BIEL, at an age of 58 years. Last week Judge WEBER of Farmington, who has so many warm friends here, was reported to be very sick and his recovery extremely doubtful. LATER: Judge WEBER died on Monday. Many friends will mourn his loss. BURNED TO DEATH On Wednesday after dinner the two little girls of Wm. EHE on North Gabouri were playing around the stove, poking straws into the fire. Nothing was thought of the matter, as the children had frequently enjoyed themselves in that manner; but when the mother, Mrs. EHE, had left the room for a minute in the pursuit of her household duties, one of the little ones came out screaming: "Mother, Catherine is burning!" Hurrying into the house, Mrs. EHE found her little two year old darling on the floor all ablaze. The child lived about an hour after the accident. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 27, 1883 The people of the counties of Wayne, Scott and Dunklin are not very aesthetic when it comes to names. They have villages which they call by such names as Crack Skull, Dog Walk, Toad Suck, &c. Just to be neighborly, we would mention that Ste. Genevieve has a street called "Cow Alley". Wm. SCHMELZLE who lives at present on the SCHERER farm, nearly had his house burned down last Monday. The opening in the wooden partition, through which the stove pipe passes being too narrow, the light combustible caught fire and it required great exertion on the part of Wm. to put out the fire, especially as water seems to have been scarce on the place. To-night, at Union Hall, commencing at 8 o'clock, there will be an interesting entertainment, consisting of Shakespearean recitations from the famous tragic drama of Hamlet. The elocutionist, Dr. J.W. BRAHAM, our well-kknown dentist, is quite a clever amateur, and he is sure to please. Ladies are especially invited. Admission, only 10 cents. An exchange has it that Ellen HENNESSEY, a baker's wife, who broke her leg on a defective pavement last September, recovered $300 damages by jury. We will lay a wager, that she would have recovered as many thousands or ten thousand if her husband had been a millionaire. A leg is a leg, but the pocket of the owner makes a vast difference. Surprise parties are quite frequent at present. The latest we have heard of were given at Mr. SCHULTZ's, and at Mr. VORST's. All of these entertainments were grand successes in every respect, as the young ladies and gents who took part in them, avow that they had the hugest fun, and one return of the compliment after the other is to be expected. Dr. Nick's old mare "Lady Constance", al. "Little Mousie", al. "Pole Cat", came to an untimely end last Sunday by strangling. Doc. calls it an accident, but Jack COAL calls it a clear case of suicide. A coroner's jury was not called to decide the point, and so it is probable that the mystery will never be cleared up. She was expedited by way of the Miss. to give her, as Doc. expresses it, a chance to attend Mardi Gras at New Orleans. It is reported that a farmer of the German Settlement in company with his neighbor hunted three robbers last Tuesday, the whole afternoon, and that the pair came home in the evening, tired, hungry and thirsty, and looking rather the worse for wear, to find to their chagrin that the three young fellows whom they had taken for knights of the higher branches of industry, were wedding guests and not the least bit dangerous. Arkansas can do no better than yield the palm to Missouri for mineral springs, medical springs, magnetic springs, miraculous springs or any other springs that an adjective can be applied to. There is one near Bismark, St. Francois Co., called Monteflumina Springs, which is situated 2,000 feet above the sea level and has, of course, wonderful virtues. The prospect is that in fifty years more every farm in Missouri will be provided with a medical spring and the state can laugh at prohibition. Wendelin HOGENMILLER writes to us that when he and Raymond KETTINGER came home from a hunting excursion one night this week, at a rather late hour, they heard a terrible noise, apparently the voice of a panther, which seemed to come from Adam RUBSAM's field at a distance of about three or four hundred steps. He said that Joseph KARL heard the same noise.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 27, 1883 At Beardstown, Ill., they made ice which was 11 inches thick. John McMANUS, who was shot at a DeSoto dance, it is thought will recover. Mr. SHEARLOCK of Crystal City contemplates building an elevator in connection with his mill. -- Ex. If any doctor has sprinkled ashes in front of his office during the icy season, we would like to hear of it. Louis NAUMAN filled Mr. BOGY's ice house this week. There will be no lack of the commodity next summer. Judge FOX came in on Wednesday to hold the special session, ordered for the trial of Nobel SCHAFER, ADAMS, and Willie ABERNATHY. A petition against submitting a prohibition amendment, covered with 925 names has been sent to Jefferson City from Fredericktown. Charley MUELLER is around the corner now and no accidents; he celebrated his 40th natal day yesterday, some of his friends giving him quite a surprise. We note the following contributions to the German relief fund received during the week: Hilarius MEYER - $5.00 Val. ROTTLER - $5.00 George WILL - $1.00 Joseph FLIEG - $1.00 John KERTZ - $1.00 Solomon Mackley of Jonca sone 73 years of age, while out feeding his stock for few weeks ago, fell on the icy ground and bruised his hip so severely that he has been confined to his bed ever since. We shall bring the result of ABERNATHY's and ADAM's trials next week. Up to the time we went to press, there was nothing known but that Nobel SCHAFER's trial had been put off and ABERNATHY's case was very much muddled. The bones and head of a man were found Jan. 16., in the woods west of Bismark, just across the county line. The reports indicate that they are remains of a tramp who was either killed or committed suicide early last fall. Our South East Swamps must be a cold country. Jacob STUPPY, who has lately been sojourning in Scott Co. for several weeks, reports that on a ride from Charleston, Mississippi Co., to New Hamburg, Scott Co., he froze his feet so badly that he was confined to the bed for nearly three weeks. James FORREST, a murderer, forcibly delivered from jail by two men at Doniphan, Riply county, on the 6th inst. Mr. J.W. BARRETT and Frank MITCHIM, a lad, when about to give the prisoners their supper, were suddenly covered by the pistols of two men, and, made to unlock the door and let FOREST out. - C.B.
