Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 John CULVER is happy. The cause is a splendid boy baby that his wife presented to him this week. We lay a wager that the young mother is equally happy as she deserves to be.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION Near Coulterville, across the river in Randolph Co., an explosion of gas took place on Monday afternoon of last week. Ten miners were killed, presumably smothered by the smoke and gases. Gottlob KAMMERER celebrated his 40th birthday last Tuesday in good style. Mindful of the old belief that a Suabian ought to be circumspect at the particular minute of his 40th anniversay, he had provided himself with a keg of beer and sundries in order to avoid being caught napping at the momentous moment. The brass band and several good friends were in attendance to help keep the watch, which they did most effectually, as we can testify by personal observation on Wednesday night when the jubilant gentleman was in excellent spirits, disposing of the crumbs of the feast. A long and happy life to him. Mr. H.M. CRAWFORD informs us that he has a mineral spring on his farm, about a mile and a half from town, that will cure "all the ills human flesh is heir to," and he expects that by the first of April a large hotel with all the latest appliances and conveniences will be erected near the spring, and by the first of July a string of street cars will run from the city to his farm. With all the springs, of wonderful healing properties, now in the immediate neighborhood there is certainly no need of bad health and poor digestion. He guaranteed that after using the water of this wonderful spring a few weeks, anyone can digest a padlock and eat more at a meal than a threshing machine. - Chester Tribune.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 Ste. Genevieve can boast of a miracle doctor at present who does business on an entirely new plan, keeping no apothecary, but merely prescribing and sending his patients to the Magnetic Springs. He is a peculiar empirie, inasmuch as he cures none but married men who are not blessed with families. F. SHEIBLE is a fond of eating as ever, he went to a silver wedding the other day in Jefferson county, and during the repast, ate nothing but "big fat" pies and cakes and then filled his pockets with what he did not at. -- Independent. Mr. SHEIBLE must either have the pockets of Sir Hudibras, or there must have been very little left. The following persons have donated the annexed sums towards relieving the poor suffers in Europe by the late inundations: Mary RINGWALD - $3.00 Jos. A. ERNST - $2.00 Bertholemew BURGERT - $2.00 Christian BAUM - $1.00 Charles SCHOETTLER - $1.00 Henry KNAMM - $1.00 Mr. Jules BOYER, proprietor of the lime kiln on the Plank Road, killed fourteen partridges with one shot on Friday of last week. He had observed the gang for several days previous and, seeing them alight in his Field on Friday morning, he fired at them with the above result. Only four of the flock escaped. Mr. PATTERSON, our thoroughbred Representative, is on the following committees: on accounts, on engrossed bills, and on retrenchment and reform; but we are surprised not finding his name as the chairman of any of the committees. This was otherwise when such "scrubs" as the Hon. Wm. F. COX represented our county. At a dancing party given on Jan. 7., at Mr. ROOTS house 4 miles East of DeSoto and altercation ensued, when a man by the name of FITZGERALD drew a revolver, pointing it at one of the guests, who seized his arm, pushed him back and escaped through the door. FITZGERALD rushed after him and shot at everybody in his way mortally wounding a certain McMANNUS. A short time ago, Mr. McLEAN of the Valley Mines near Avon in this county, lost two horses which ran away in company with a neighbor's mule. He searched for the missing animals, high and low, at Ste. Genevieve, at Jones Island below Chester, where he had bought one of the horses, all over Saline country and at Ste. Genevieve again, where he at last found the animals on last Sunday, and wended his way home rejoicing, on Monday. Wendelin NAEGER, a well known citizen of this county, living about 8 miles West of Ste. Genevieve, when coming from his new place - a part of the Joe. COFFMAN farm - where he had been at work, slipped on the ice and was so badly injured that he was unable to rise. Two miners, passing by, saw him and reported the mishap to his son Fred., who lives close by. Fred. took his wounded father home on a wagon. It is believed that the thigh is broken about midway between the knee and the hip.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 The deer law ran out last Monday. On January 12., David DITCH sold a span of mules to John SCHERER for the snug little sum of $300. A.C. CISSELL of Perry Co. says he has been on a drunk, went and raised the devil. He ought to have staid there. Mr. Valentine PREUITT, the U.S. Gauger for this district, is at the Southern, and expects to stay for some days longer on business. FOR SALE: 2 horses with harnesses, and one wagon, cheap for cash. Enquire at PANTALEON SIEBERT'S. Martin BRAUN, the superintendent of the County Farm was dangerously sick the first part of this week as we heard, of typhoid pneumonia, but is now convalescent. The Farmington Post Office is to be made a foreign money order office by the first of April. The aquisition is due to the efforts of Congressman CLARDY and Mr. TETLEY. Mr. Chas. SPINNER, while hunting stock near Clear Creek Diggings, Perry Co., met an enormous panther. The fleetness of his horse saved him. He was unarmed at the time. The two nimrods who have been chasing that buck with sixteen antlers, ever since the first snow appeared, may now give the poor stag rest until the first of September. So says the Missouri game law. The St. Louis papers complain about the negligence with which the gas companies have the lamps taken care of. We, in Ste. Genevieve can't complain of any negligence; we have gone a long way beyond that. L.D. THURMAN, Roman HUCK, and J.J. WILSON came back from Sprringfield, Ill., on Sunday, by way of Farmington. They did not stay to learn the result of the trial, but they think penitentiary will be the verdict. Charley BURKS lost his race mare "Sallie Cunningham" week before last. He found her lying down in the stable in the morning, but all remedies availed nothing. She was a valuable animal and her death is a serious loss to Mr. BURKS. At 1 o'clock, January 11., Cape Girardeau was visited by an earthquake so severe in its nature that the oldest inhabitants do not recollect of feeling one so perceptible. There were two distinct shocks, each about fifteen seconds duration.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 HELP THE AFFLICTED The fearful calamity with which the population of different parts of Europe, but especially the Lower Rhine Valley, have been visited, the inundations having left tens of thousands of people without shelter and the necessaries of life, calls for speedy help. Germany has done her part nobly, the Emperor heading the list with 600,000 marks and other princes in proportion, but that is as a drop in the ocean. In many places in the United States, for instance St. Louis, subscription lists are being made up for the poor sufferers. We have therefore concluded to open a list for Ste. Genevieve, hoping that the well known generosity of old Ste. Genevieve will not be found wanting in this hour of great necessity. A list will be kept in the "HERALD" office and those who are willing to contribute their share towards alleviating the sufferings of the afflicted, may have their names enrolled and we will take care that the money so contributed will be placed into the hands of responsible parties of St. Louis or New York and speedily remitted to Europe.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 Mrs. Emile P. VOGT has followed suit in the New Year's gift line and presented her Lord with a bouncing boy on Thursday night.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 A number of our young men met at the Union Hall last Saturday night, for the purpose of organizing a literary and musical society. They agreed upon a constitution and elected as their officers for the year: Charles MULLER, President; Gottlieb KAMMERER, Vice Pres.; Walter LEMPKE, Secretary; Henry BAUM, Treasurer; Henry KNAMM, Stage Manager; Frank KLEIN, Musical Director. The object of the society, which is called "Harmony Club" is 1. To promote social intercourse, among the public in general and the members of the club in particular; 2. To preserve, cultivate and improve the German language; 3. To foster and cherish singing and literature &c; The club consists of active, passive and honorary members, of which the last mentioned have no dues to pay. The scope of its activity embraces to do all they can for a public library. All beginning is difficult, and we do not widh to be understood as if we would censure the proceedings of the club; on the contrary, we wish it all possible success and a long existence. A WOULD-BE MURDERER Antoine VALLE and wife were poisoned last Monday morning. They had been out visiting on Sunday night and had come home late at night. The next morning, they took their breakfast as usual but both felt sick soon after and ent their nearest neighbor for a physician. Dr. HAHN, the physician they had summoned, made an examination and found that they were poisoned. The woman, who had drunk her coffee with milk is out of danger but the man who took his portion black is stillin a critical condition. Dr. HAHN made an examination of the coffee remaining in the can and declares that he found poison in it. Strong suspicion is entertained of the perpetrator of the deed, and if the poisoner does not soon escape he may find himself in the clutches of Jack Ketch.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 Mr. Clay ZIEGLER left for St. Louis yesterday with a large drove of cattle. The proposed rockroad from Perryville to Claryville, opposite Chester, requires $13,000 Stock subscription before the company can be incorporated. Mr. Felix H. JANIS has been appointed as County Commissioner of Public Schools to fill the unexpired term of Mr. C.C. KERLAGON, the new County Clerk. The river road must be in a terrible condition. On the 5th the Chester mail was carried into town on the forehalf of a wagon and last Monday there was no mail at all. We call the attention of our readers to the sale of the BASLER property on third street, North of North Gabouri Creek, which will occur on Saturday, Jan. 27th. The Burks School House in the Western part of this county, about 6 miles from Farmington burned down Tuesday the 2nd inst. A defective flue is said to have been the cause of the fire. The building was insured for $300. A party of young nimrods were converted into fisher-men one day this week, without any witchcraft. Crossing the slough, they saw the water crowded with fish & concluded to lay down their shooting irons, beat the ice open with their heels and their labors were rewarded with a plentiful catch. We refer our readers to the advertisment of A.C. HERTICH in another column, who has opened an office in the GUIGNON building adjoining Dr. CARSSOW's drugstore on the west side. He will be assisted in all Circuit and Supreme Court cases by J. Perry JOHNSON, of Fredericktown, Mo. On Wednesday, Jan. 3, Peter SCHWARTZ sent his son and the hired man, Adolph BAUMAN, to New Tennessee to get a horse-power. On their way home, BAUMAN lost his balance and fell head foremost from the horse-power, the hind wheel of the wagon passing over both his legs and breaking the right one below the knee. Dr. CARSSOW dressed the wound ahd the patient is doing well. Mr. Jos. FLYNN lectured at Union Hall last Thursday night on the Prohibition question. We are sorry that we were unable to attend but we understand that there was a good audience which might have been expected. Next Thursday night Dr. BERNAYS will give a lecture on Chemistry of Common things, which the learned gentleman will certainly make an interesting one. The hall will be comfortably heated. Ladies are specially invited to attend. Admission, 10 cents. We hear that one of our young aquaintances had quite a slide last Wednesday.. He had gone out on the slough to help cut ice, when the wind which blew rather a cutting blast at the time, threw him down, carried him a long distance on the smooth ice, and landed him at the Big Field. A slide on the ice is sport, especially when it can be done in a sitting position, but Jerome must have not felt very comfortable at any rate, for he remarked that for his next ride he would first have some rough shoeing done. GRAND BALL On Monday, Jan. 29, at Andrew WIPFLER"S. Everybody is respectfully invited. Admission, 50 cts.

Hello listers, I am new to this list and was told there were a lot of Zieglers and Kleins in this area. I am looking for any information I can find on Philip Ziegler and Theresa Klein. Here's what I know...They had at least two children, Philip Ziegler born 1858 in Missouri and Theresa Ziegler born abt 1863 in Missouri. Philip Ziegler Jr. married Regina Dabold in Will County, Illinois on August 30, 1882 and Theresa Ziegler (daughter) married Frank Novak in Will County, Illinois on May 27, 1879. Both Philip Ziegler Jr. and Frank Novak were miners living in Braidwood, Illinois at the time of their marriages. I am most interested in Theresa and Philip Ziegler's parents. I have not been able to find any information on them and was hoping someone in the list could help. I know that Philip Ziegler Sr. died before Theresa Ziegler married (1879) because her mother was listed as a widower on Theres'a marriage license. Ziegler has been spelled many different ways (Zeigler, Sigler, Sekler etc..) Thanks! Tammy Chicago, IL

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 Typhoid pneumonia is still claiming its victims. We hear that Joseph ISENMANN lost a boy, a hopeful youth, by the deead disease. Mrs. SCHWOEBEL, the widow of Gabriel S. whom we reported some time ago as having drowned in the Mississippi, died Sunday, after having given birth to a child about 2 weeks previously. Mr. MOZEL who is a near relative, took charge of the oldest child, a boy about 4 years old, and the baby was adopted by Valentine ROTTLER.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 Fronie PARKER, a colored woman living in New Tennessee, gave birth to triplets the other day, 2 boys, weighing 6 pounds apiece, and a girl weighing 7 pounds, 19 pounds in all. This don't look as if New Tennessee was going to die out very soon. Santa Claus was rather freakish with his holiday presents this time. To Dr. HERTICH jr. he sent the stork which promptly left a splendid little boy baby, and Dr. HERTICH sr. had to be satisfied with a calf. We will lay a wager that both are well pleased.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 Bozeman, Dec. 22, 1882 Postmaster Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Dear Sir: -- Please give publicity to this statement: On Tuesday Dec. 19, one Wilbur F. CULVER, who is believed to have relations at or near Ste. Genevieve, Mo., was seriously injured by a log rolling upon him. As given me by his employer, he is in a very critical condition, one thigh-bone being broken twice, and probably he is injured internally. A surgeon was at once procured, and his fellow mill-hands raised a purse of $125 to defray his expenses. All that can be done for him, will be done cheerfully. As he is insensible most of time, it is difficult to ascertain the whereabouts of his relations. Willy you please do what you can to inform his relations, and in case of anything serious I will inform you. Respectfully, Sylvanus AMES Bozeman, M.T. Mr. CULVER left Ste. Genevieve in May 1880 in company with Philip SCHERER, Joseph MUNSCH, Jules DETCHMENDY and Gregoire LAFLEUR, going West. He was last heard from about 3 months ago, when he was engaged at the above mentioned place in making railroad ties.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 The carpenter work at the Cone Mills was finished last week - and fine, substantial work it is, to be sure - and the millwrights were expected to come down on the Elliott last Tuesday, but, owing to the ice in the river, they were obliged to come by way of DeLassus. Five of them arrived here on Wednesday; the rest - it is said that there will be 18 in all - were expected to join them soon after. At the solemn high mass, on the Feast of Ste. Genevieve, Rev. Fr. REMILLION, of Perryville was celebrant; Rev. Fr. SCHMIDT, Deacon; Rev. Fr. HUITTLER, of Bloomsdale, Sub-Deacon. Rev. Fr. F.X. WEISS, the rector of Ste. Genevieve, was Master of Cermonies. An English sermon was delivered by Rev. Fr. McCARTHY, of Perryville. Two sermons, one in German, the other in French, were preached by Father HUITTLER, of Bloomsdale. The recipients of holy communion numbered a few over 200. Mike TURLEY, one of the inmates of the County Farm, who ought to be in an asylum, stole out of his cell one day week before last by breaking the slats in his beadstead into splinters, sticking the fragments into the cracks of the 14 feet plank fence separating him from the yard, and climbing as by a ladder, over the said fence. The terrified women immediately locked all the doors, but the Superintendent with the help of the servant soon secured him and led the demented man back to his room. WILLING WILLIE We learn that Willie C. TOWNSEND of St. Mary has gone up to Jefferson City to prospect for a clerkship. Willie is a thoroughbred of the most pronounced type and won his political spurs in the last county election, when he and his brother Frank distinguished themselves and wellnigh extinguished their party. Willie is thoroughly competent to fill the position to which he aspires. We wish him success. STRAYED: A jersey heifer, 3 years old, of black color, had the figure 9 branded on left hip, and wore bell with chain when she left Lawrence WERNER's place. Information leading to recovery will be liberally rewarded by WILLIAM WILDER. The "Domestic" Sewing Machine is the lightest running and the best machine made, J.W. SHAW is the sole agent for this district. Stand in BISCH's building Merchant st., Ste. Genevieve, Mo. MEAT MARKET LOUIS NAUMANN, Dealer in all kinds of FRESH MEATS such as BEEF, PORK, VEAL & MUTTON The highest market price paid for Beeves, Hogs, and Sheep.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 Our county officers elect donned their official robes on Monday. W. B. KENNER threshed three or four crops of wheat, the past season, aggregating about 1600 buschels. The rabbit that Mr. AMBS couldn't catch gave occassion to Joe. BAECHLE for a special hunt last Saturday. Joe came home much dejected. Jos. WERNER, the genial liquor dealer of St. Louis, who sends such excellent whiskey to Ste. Genevieve, was in town last week and did a roaring business. Geo. H. KELLY, Clerk to Butler Co., skipped out n $5000 in county warrants and coupons, and was arrested at Memphis, Tenn. He acknowledges to being short $800. The sale of Gottfried BASLER's farm, which we reported last week, seems to have proved a failure on account of a lack of funds, and Fritz has gone to work until "the needful will appear." Mr. GOULDING, of Ironton, has tendered his resignation as a member of the Board of directors of the Ironton schools because he could not perform his duty as a director "without laying aside all feeling of self-respect." --Ex. The Catholic church at Bloomsdale is said to have been robbed in the Friday night of last week. A tramp was seen in the neighborhood before, camping one night near John GREMMINGER's place under the bluff and making himself comfortable by a good campfire. He is supposed tohave committed the theft and word was sent around the neighborhood to look out for him. The value of the stolen articles was estimated at $200.00. Several bands of the Guignolee singers made their accustomed rounds on Sunday night. The Guignolee is an innocent amusement in itself, if it not abused as a cloak for rude manners and licentiousness. Judge WEBER, of Farmington, has received his medal for voting first, last and all the time for GRANT in the Chicage convention. He is very proud of it, and says five hundred dollars would be no inducement for him to part with it. -- Ex. Our new Probate Judge, Mr. W.H. BANTZ, took charge of his office on Monday. We hear that Judge BOGY will assist him for a time until he gets sufficiently aquainted with the routine of the business. Judge BANTZ has his office in the N.W. room of the Court House. The Chester mail reached the P.O. very late last Tuesday owing to an accident on the railroad. We hear that the train ran off the track about 8 miles from Chester; the engineer and the fireman were killed and three passengers wounded. The mail had to be carried to Chester by wagon. On Wednesday, Dec. 27th, the Circuit judges of the State of Missouri met in St. Louis for the purpose of preparing recommendations to the legislatures of the State to make such changes in the law as they may deem necessary. -- Ex. The circuit judges ought to be the best judges of the workings of the law and its shortcomings. Judge FOX of Fredericktown represent this district in the committee.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 30, 1882 Louis D. THURMAN, Jas. J. WILSON, and Roman HUCK went to Springfield, Ill. again yesterday, as witnesses in the case U.S. vs. Chas. LAUER for selling counterfeit money. Nobel SCHAFER, who is now in this jail awaiting his trial for setting fire to Pat CUMMINGS' house, had LAUER arrested and the above named gentlemen are required to prove Nobel's character. It won't take them long to prove it negatively, for, as Jim said, Nobel never had any to prove. He who owns a well filled smoke-house, will do well to fasten the same with diverse heavy padlocks, lay a half-dozen of mantraps and keep a bull-dog around the premises, for there are those who think it no sin to carry off their neighbor's hams and sausages with-out previous permission. The same is to be said about henroosts; for invitations have been given for several parties, and some boys have the queer notion that a stolen chicken will make the best bouillon. For our part, we can rest quiet; a loaded blunderbuss and a fierce bloodhound would afford the amplest protection, even if the smoke-house wasn't empty. In the night of Dec. 6, H.A. DOWN, the proprietor of a saloon South of the Court House in Ironton, knocked Peter PROUGH, foreman for the Pilot Knob Company at the Buford Mountain Mines, with a large bottle over the head, and PROUGH died of the effects next morning. A jury was impaneled, the body examined, but the inquest was put off. Dr. GOULDING and PATTON held a post mortem examination and gave as the cause of the death that blood had entered the brain through the right temple bone. The membrane of the brain was torn, over and behind the ear, but the skull not fractured. It seems that the killed man habitually frequented the saloon and was intoxicated at the time of the deed. An altercation ensued between him and the son of the proprietor when the latter came from behind the bar and dealt the fatal stroke. From that moment to his death PROUGH never spoke. He was 35 years old and well kknown in Ironton; he leaves wife and children. DOWNS was arrested and is now in prison.
