No man should go through this life
without making an effort to learn something, and a two-weeks attendance in
Circuit court, will little else to do but look and listen,
afforded an opportunity for gaining information of great value to a student; and
as this opportunity has been mine, I feel like giving the public the benefit of
a few of the most important facts which I have gathered. It appears from my
careful observation that it is the business, as well as the duty, of the lawyers
to instruct the judge, juries, witnesses and all others, and I was often
surprised at the perversity and obstinacy of Judge DINNING, who so often acted
contrary to the advice so generously furnished him by the lawyers. A man can not
learn much at court unless he knows it from lawyers, for they do nearly all the
talking and take up most of the time, and I presume that is what they are there
for: and when they go to so much trouble to inform judge, jurors, witnesses and
litigants as to what they ought to do, it seems to me that their advice would be
more carefully considered than it is. I was also much surprised at the
action of the juries. There were several instances where they brought in
verdicts just the opposite to what the lawyers told them they should do. And
then there is that pestiferous fellow, Frank GREEN, the prosecuting attorney!
According to the unanimously -expressed opinion of the other lawyers, Frank is a
blood-thirsty, selfish individual, whose only business is to prosecute innocent
people for his own amusement and personal gain. There was Willie GILLERT tried
for stealing guns; the evidence was indisputable as is his gain, but
lawyer KLEINSCHMIDT plainly told the jury to acquit him, and instead
of doing so, they said he was guilty and must go two years to the pen.
Frank GREEN upheld them in their cruel verdict and the judge refused to
give him another trial, when KLEINSHCMIDT told him just as positively and
plainly as he
could that the verdict would be set aside and a new trial
granted. George BAUER was treated just as badly. The jury found him guilty of
some offense and said he, too, must go to the pen, and Frank GREEN and Judge
DINNING seemed just as cruel as the jury, for they refused any relief, after
lawyers WILLIAMS and THOMAS had told them in strong language that BAUER was
innocent and had never committed a crime, Peter BARTON was almost as badly
treated. He is the young man who waylaid and assaulted Mayor ADAMS of Festus.
Lawyer DEARING told the judge and jury that BARTON was innocent and a young man
of excellent character; but in the face of all this the jury said he
was guilty and must pay a fine of $100 and lay two months in jail. Frank GREEN
was cruel enough to suggest to the jury, that a man who would be in wait to
assault, at the dead hour of night, a public official for doing what he believed
to be his duty, ought to be sent to the penitentiary, but the jury had been
taking his cruel advice for two weeks, and had at last concluded to act somewhat
mercifully. I don't see much use in having lawyers if judges and jurors will not
pay any more respect to their advice.

Jefferson Democrat:
Mr. PROGRESS desires to state, in reply to the Facts,
that he is still in the land of the living and just as sound in mind and body as
he ever was - until he was classified as a myth - having no objections, if
honestly inclined, to interest themselves through the columns of the J. D. In
the article of the Facts, May 18th, they advise the Council to reconsider its
actions relative to the Berg coupon controversy, showing how weak and
inconsistent it would be to fight said Berg coupon clam through the courts,
realizing the hopelessness, misguided by selfishness, in this attitude
before the people, being requested to recede? and assume a neutral
compromise, knowing that defeat awaits them in this just claim, if brought
before the courts. Especially when the city treasury interests become involved
with the extra expense attached therein expecting, for ??, the c? of
Justice? to? shield? them from the irresponsible? o?? and prejudice to govern
their actions. ?? will be the result if our ?? and tax-payers shall refuse to
grapple with this question and settle it effectively, while they may.
Observer the case of HALLEY, ex-Marshal, vs. the city of the
the committee appointed to visit the city of
committee p?ly to ??? in??t for a foreign
plant to locate here in our midst, to the detriment of our home plant,
which has all the
necessary appliances to fulfill their claim for light, to
a satisfactory completion of any contract it ??? desire. But such is
not
the will of the present Council. They look for a ??ty to revoke the charter by disfranchising the ?? of
their just title, having stepped over as a 3rd class city, by forcing them
out of existence. The very men who are hostile to the success of
our home industry will have to contend with unheard of difficulties and
its consequences. Also the chances of ruining our credit not only
at home but in adjacent cities. (Since writing the above the Council
has compromised the Berg coupon claim.) In reply, I respectfully desire to
cast no reflections? on our newly elected Mayor, Henry LEPP, or part of the
councilmen, personally, but simply trying to ventilate the truth, in the
eyes of the people. Watching the state of affairs in harmony with the latest of
our progressive future.
This being memorial day, the Grand Army men
celebrated the day by marching through the streets to

A. F. A. A. M. will be held at their hall, in Hillsboro, next Saturday, evening.

Please take notice and be governed accordingly.
The Hillsboro Sunday
school will have its annual picnic next Saturday, in Mr. THOMAS' grove, and it
is hoped that all the people in town will take part. It is to be a basket picnic
- only strawberries and lemonade to be furnished by the school. All will be
welcome, and if they fail to get enough to eat, it will be because they fail to
bring enough along with them.
The K. of P., L. O. O. F.
and A.O.F. W. lodges, of St. Francois County, are going to have a
basket picnic and steamboat excursion on the Fourth of July, and they invite the
members of said orders in this county to participate. The Arcadia and Boone
Terre trains will convey the excursionist to Herculaneum, where the steamer
Grand Republic will await them. The excursion will be up the
river, beyond St. Louis, and return. Railroad fare, #1; steamboat $1.
Those desiring tickets from this place can apply to the editor of this
paper.
The case of MACKLER vs. The Bonne Terre Railroad Company brought
to our town several prominent citizens of St. Francois county, including
Judge CARTER and Mr. Kossuth? WEBER, as attorneys for defendant, and
Messrs WILDE, SERVICE AND HOBBS as witnesses. MACKLER was represented by a
sharp young lawyer from St. Louis, named SMITH, but he failed to get
his
case before the jury, as the other side knocked him out on technicalities. He
will have to cut and come again, and it looks
doubtful about his ever
getting a hearing of the case on its merits.
Stephen AUBUCHON of De Soto
had some more bad luck last Tuesday. His team, standing hitched in front of his
store, got frightened at a locomotive and jerked loose and ran wildly down the
street. On turning the corner near SMITH's stable one
of the horses struck a tree and got on of its legs so badly broken that it had
to be killed. Mr. AUBUCHON did not seem to mind the damage done to the wagon,
but he did hate to lose the horse, as it was a fine one, and is the third he has
lost by accident since last September. It looks like fate is against
him.
A very quiet wedding took place on Monday last ( 26th) at the
residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. J. W. HAVENS, 2020 McCausland Ave. St. Louis, the near relatives only being
present. The contracting parties were Mr. E. D. HENRY, of the Rainwater-Boogher Hat Co., and Miss Sallie A. WILLIAMS. Miss Sallie
has many acquaintances in this locality. The bride is a very pretty brunette,
and wore lovely white cashmere, cut in V shape, with corsage bouquets of lilies
of the valley. The Rev. S. H. GREEN, of St. John's Episcopal Church,
performed the ceremony, after which a sumptuous repast was provided, and bride
and groom left by the O. A. M. RY. for New York and Washington, to be gone two
or three weeks. The groom's gift to the bride was a deed to one of the prettiest
building sites in Benton.

Prof. SCOTT, at the public
schools, is involved in law. On Saturday one of his boys engaged in a fight with
a young son of Peter BERG, and young SCOTT was on the under side. Some one

separating the boys it is said he administered several vicious kicks to the
young tailor, which enraged the parents, Mr. and Mrs. BERG, and a warrant was
issued for the arrest of Prof. SCOTT. The trial is now pending. May 27th,

~Crystal and Festus~ by
Damphool
A sad accident occurred last Saturday
evening at Crystal City, which created general sympathy for the unfortunate lad
who drowned in Plattin Creek, and for the grieved father who came down from St.
Louis, Sunday, to receive the corpse. Almost seventy young students
from the Manual? Training School of St. Louis came down Saturday
evening on a recreation trip and to gather ?
the formation as
one may receive of great industrial establishments such as the Crystal
Glass Works. The excursionists were guided
by Professor WOODWARD and ?? the ?? was a
young lad about seventeen years, by name of STEVENSON? a son of
Prof. STEVENSON, a
teacher in the public schools of St. Louis, and well known throughout this
section of the county. After viewing the departments of the factory, some boys
decided to take a swim in the creek. Young STEVENSON was among them, but he,
being unable? to swim was persuaded by his comrades not to ? to the swollen
stream. ? though by the others, he went in, and accidentally beyond his depth.
?? directed attention to the drowning lad, but just in time to be seen sinking
for the last time. Consternation? was general. His comrades, who could swim,
dived repeatedly to recover the body, but without success. At ? o'clock in the
evening, Mr. Jos. AUBUCHON, who was searching the water in a skiff, found the
body, and with the assistance of Mr. Aug. GRANSON brought it to shore. Dr.
BRUCE was notified, and inquest held at once. On Sunday morning the father
and brother came down to receive the remains of
the unfortunate boy and took the corpse to their home in the
evening. Some of our citizens are inclined to severely censure Prof.
WOODWARD because he left for home and would not allow four of the poor
lad's intimate friends to stay until the body was
found. His action appears rather cruel and
ungentlemanly, but considering other
circumstances I believe he
was correct.
More fatal
accidents have happened on Plattin Creek, at Crystal City, in the last few
years, than at any other given point between St. Louis and Cairo. People
ought to shun the treacherous stream.
Have you heard the news? We
will have the latest celebration of the demolition of the
Bastile at Paris and we will celebrate it in Festus,
too, for the first time. Grand preparations are being made by our French
citizens to make the 14th of July a holiday. On that day
in 1789 the burgoise of
Paris captured the Bastille, the famous prison for political
offences and from then on a new order of things reigned
in France. The French brethren are fully organized and full of enthusiasm
for the occasion and ? not only their own countrymen but all
nationalities to celebrate the jubilee with them
and hereafter the 14th of July will be a grand feast
for the twin cities. Dr. Cristoffe is
the president of the organization, and other offices are held by E.
FEST? L. BEAUMONT, M. DRAVEL, J. ??, Aug. YOEZLE? and
Aug. GRANSON. The predictions are that the affair will be a great
success.
The old veterans of this vicinity have been quite lively of
late. A new Post of the G.A.R. has been organized and will
be mustered in a few days. Adjutant General ROGERS of St. Louis
has consented to call the muster roll and swear the boys in
blue. Comrades of WHITEHEAD Post, of Victoria, and FLETCHER post of De
Soto, with a full drum corps, will be present, and the old grey
beards will shake a brotherly hand once more before they lay down their
arms. All those who have signed and who wish to sign the charter, are requested
to meet at the residence of Frank K?? on Saturday evening, May 31st?, where
the preliminaries for a full organization and future course will be
discussed and decided.
Some sympathetic friends of
Peter BARTON, who now regrets his stay in jail at Hillsboro,
are trying to raise, by subscription, the amount of $100 fine imposed
upon him at last Circuit Court. The parties interested ought to know
that such things will not succeed in a community that wants to purge
itself of hoodlums. Hands off? please.
On account of
lengthy items this week, and the serious nature of most of them, I
must refrain from all minor items and
the usual whip-crackers this week. Your readers will know
why.
