Party principle is not in the hearts of the working classes any longer,
because it being an old theory and is now too well understood for the people to
continue to give it the same support and get nothing in return. They have
awakened to the fact that something is lacking, and that
to practice another system will prove just what it is. Geo. W. MANESS

Treasurer was ordered to pay back to W. H. PLASS $12.83, the amount left in his
road district, to defray the cost of his suit as overseer against Bert MARTIN.
The papers and proceedings in regard to location and establishing a road from
Peter MOORE'S to Morse's Mill, were referred to the Prosecuting Attorney for
his opinion as to their validity. Mr. GREEN reported that proceedings and
papers might do if everybody concerned or interested was
willing and satisfied, but would not stand the test of litigation; and as several
parties had already began to kick against the location, award of damages, etc.,
the Court dismissed the whole case, and destroyed the county warrants that were
issued at last term in payment of damages awarded.
At request of W. R. DONNELL and P. R. HAVERSTICK, Peter STROUP was ordered
to pay his note to School Funds, on or before first Monday in April, 1890.

~Resolutions of Respect~
The following resolutions of condolence and respect to the memory of Wm. BRACKMANN,
deceased, were adopted by High Ridge Lodge No. 148, A. O. U. W.
Master WORKMAN and Brothers: Our hall is draped in somber black - the emblem of
deep mourning - as a token of our sorrow and respect to departed brother Wm.
BRACKMANN. It reminds us of the only certainty in this world; that all men are
born to die. It also reminds us how suddenly we may be called away to give an
account of what we have done, for good or evil, during our allotted stay here
on this earthly sphere. Happy for the man of whom it can be testified that his
life has been useful to his family, to his fellow brothers and his many
friends; that the living can say, our departed brother
has not lived in vain. We are sure that we speak the conviction of all our brothers
when we say our departed brother, Wm. BRACKMANN, was such a man. He was truly a
Christian, showing by his faith in his fellow man, by practicing charity to
all mankind. Nobody over knocked at the door of Wm. BRACKMANN, when in need,
who went away disconsolate. He was always ready to help along
to the best of his ability, every movement calculated to promote the
welfare of his fellow men. He has gone to receive the reward of a
well-spent life. It was with him as the poet said: [poem hard to read] Let
us show our respect for our departed brother by doing that which he would have
done for us, had he outlived us - care for and protect his beloved wife and
dear little children. Let us offer by this, to them, our deep felt and
brotherly sympathy in this hour of their sad affliction; praying that our Heavenly
Father will comfort and console them.
Be it Resolved, that the hall be draped in mourning, as a token of honor and
respect to our departed brother, for six weeks. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread and a memorial
page dedicated to the memory of our deceased brother. That a copy, under
seal of the Lodge, be presented to his family.
Resolved, that a copy be sent to the Overseer, Jefferson Democrat and Crystal
Mirror. C. DILLON, H. NOLLMAN, G. H. SCH?????

After Mrs. Martin HUSKEY's residence
burned down, her neighbors came together and assisted in preparing timber and
building her another house, and as a return for their kindness, she gave the
young folks a party last Thursday night. There was a big crowd present, and
they made a night of it, and left the widow fifty or sixty dollars better off.
One cake that was raffled off to the most popular young lady present, brought
near forty dollars.

John R.
COX, a Baptist preacher who has been living and preaching in the northern part
of this county for some years, got himself into jail last week. He was arrested
on a warrant issued by Squire BOOTH on complaint entered by his wife of
criminal slander against her and a neighbor. From what we can learn, COX
is cranky, and the only excuse he has for writing the foolish letters
complained of is, that he had a crazy spell at the time. He was released on
bond Tuesday.
The wind
storm of last Thursday and Thursday night was as severe as ever visited this
place. The front gable of the building occupied by the post office and by
Squire BOOTH was blown out some time in the night, the bricks covering the
street for thirty feet. Mrs. VOLLMAR'S wood house was completely demolished. A
portion of the porch to the JENNI store building, occupied as a warehouse by
Henry HURTGEN was blown down, smashing a new plow in its fall. Fencing in every
direction was leveled, but so far as we have heard, no person or animal was
injured.

Thursday evening, a man from Ste. Genevieve County, whose name we have not
learned, attempted to ford the creek at

This place was visited, on the 27th inst., by a severe wind and rain storm,

Twenty inches of snow, how is that for high, on the ??th of March? Several excursion parties
made ready early Sunday morning to different points, but when the snow
whizzed down I presume they all stayed at home. I know that I did.
The storm last week was very perceptible in this neighborhood. The ?????? in Festus swung and
swayed, several chimneys came to grief and I lost my sleep, while I
made ready for the cellar. At the glass works a smoke stack was blown down.
I am late this week, but through no fault of mine. We had a snow blockade and
by the time I climbed through the chimney to reach the mail,
that blasted
All hands Ahoy, was the watchcry at the works on
Monday morning and snow shovels were in great demand. All men who
could possibly be spared form the regular routine of the business, were set to
work clearing paths and removing the tremendous load of snow on
the shed roofs. It took near six hours before all was
cleared.
This April, the 1st (I just want to remind you of it), don't get
fooled like some of our Aldermanic candidates, today. They all
think they will get there, but they won't, and the Mayor smiles
because he is on the safe glue. Election day
is a day of disappointment, especially in Festus. Perhaps, I will tell you why,
next week.
A bad accident happened at the factory Monday evening. In the polishing rooms
while a force of men were carrying a large plate of glass it broke in their
hands. The wind was high at the time, and a sudden wave striking the glass
snapped it to pieces. One man was severely cut by the breakage - he is almost
entirely scalped.
Our singing club is now fully organized, with a double quartet as active members. Amusement
and sport is inscribed on their banner. The melodious
birds all warble in Spring, and so will jolly fellows and therefore, [poem or song, hard to read]
The wizard's show came to untimely grief a week ago as every judge of human
nature knew it would. The best exhibition was a farce. I stayed there about
three minutes to collect items but left in disgust and I will tell you why. The
proprietor of the hall was assisting the clever professor but
was obliged in the middle of the game to rise and speak a speech and he rose. By
the frown visible on his brow it was evident the text was serious.
"Ladies and Gents," he said, "you see that our professor drank
too much hot water to-day, mixed with bad results and therefore the
show is at an end." He should have added that the next feature
of the farce was to see the drunken imposter on the stage.
For two nights, Saturday and Monday the twins were treated to a novelty in
the line of exhibition and - ?????? A man styling
himself as Aubrey DELEMAIN? did it, and did
it well too. I invited him to stay until the first of April, because that day
is always good for such performance, but he declined. He came to grief, and one
of his trained animals came to grief, and the brass band came to grieve. It was
a loud murder - murder in the first degree. Last Thursday night, at a
rehearsal, an acrobatic squirrel was introduced to form
the acquaintance of the band. The
band struck up one of their thundering tunes; the little squirrel raised its
rear appendage, leaped in the air and then laid down
and died, died in spasms. "[unreadable]" Since then our housewives are in a continuous
fright about their barnyard fouls. The old-time cry of the "???????" is heard
again. Well translated this means: The band is coming, hide your
chickens.
Look here, you Hillsboro Democrat, if ever you desire to get married and want
a serenade, please call on our new string band just organized. Its' a daisy, I
tell you. The first break they made was last Tuesday, when Oscar MALLEY
attempted suicide by getting a wife for the sake of a change in life.

"A.O.U." of Hematite, in the Facts, seems to stretch his imagination wonderfully.
While engaged in pitching horse-shoes, or rather in the crowd last Sunday week,
he imagined the eye of Mr. Economist was upon him. This correspondent, if we
mistake not, is engaged in school teaching. I wonder if he instructs his pupils
to play marble, cards or baseball on Sunday, and the Lord only knows what
else that promotes the Immorality he spoke of?
Now, "Mr. A.O.U." next Sabbath won't head those boys astray, but
rather set them a good example.
Mr. James SWALLOW has bargained his property to some
performance. I know talk is cheap. No doubt he has plenty time, from
Talk whose your back-biting, railing, etc. What S. W.
S???N wrote in last week's Mirror about "Old Economy" or "R. E.
B." is what is called a giving vent to black wrath. He thinks that he
shows me up in grand shape. He accuses me of having a long tongue, etc., and
even calls me a liar, and asks why I don't subscribe my own name. Why doesn't
he go to his reporter - as he seems to have one. I
propose to never write anything but facts. I can substantiate anything I say,
and what is more, he does not dare to tell me to my face that I have written
anything untrue. Now, let us see who lied. He states that he felt he was
competent to take care of this ?????? himself. Ask C. F. LEE, Rev. SRONCE, O. H. DONELL, R. G.
M?RPAN, James SWALLOW, John KASKANETTE, Tom DODSON and a dozen
of others I can mention if necessary - all who have received other people's
mail for their own. He gave me several letters and papers belonging to other
parties, sad while I am writing a man ?????? me, that he received another man's letter and broke it open
before he noticed the mistake. Now does this look like he is competent or that
he is
the persecuted saint he pretends to be. And further, his hearing is very poor,
his eye-sight rather bad, and yet he claims his competency to fill an office of
governmental trust. He says he supposes I am one of those fellows who said they
would have the post office in B & T's store. I not being a Republican
had no voice in the matter but it does seem to me that those thirty odd
Republican signers should have had a voice in the matter, and I am sure if it
had been put in B & T's store it would have been properly attended to,
even if they were Democrats - not only that, but it would have been a public
place, handy to everybody, and not in an old wood shed, and he would cancel
those letters that he so dislikes to see handed on the train. Now, this
masterpiece of ???? this or
someone else’s) he makes appear that I said grievous things about
him. I merely imitated that we have an imported postmaster and nothing
more. He acknowledges he would not have moved back from
postmaster? This I think was pretty hard on the respectable Republicans of this
community, when we had plenty of good material at home, He says they throw
their mail in the car or under it, and it is picked up and taken to the office
by friends. Nothing like having friends under the cars to take
care of other peoples mail! But it seems to me I would have delivered
that mail to the parties to which it belonged. Something

Our school term as extended two weeks, I am sorry to lose some of my
big boys. They had to stop on account of oat sowing, corn ground breaking,
etc., Our average daily attendance for the month ending March ?th, was 31, There were but three pupils on the Roll of
Honor: Grace MARTIN, Frank CLARK, Lena GOODMAN.
We have had some unfavorable weather for training young ideas to shoot,
but the elements the past week have been more encouraging to regular
attendance. If I could solve the problem, "how to teach those pupils who
are out of school two or three days per week." and at the same time
advance them equally with those who attend regularly, I would not apply for a
patent on my wonderful discovery, but I would be very anxious to send it all
over our country at telegraphic speed. A compulsory educational law will not do
it. There are many reasons, often best known to the parents, why they keep
their children from school. But in country districts where the school year
often does not exceed ?0 days, children can not afford
to lose a single day. Prof. SCOTT, last week, in the Facts, in his
