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.
