WHAT PLUCK ENTERPRISE AND
UNITED WORK CAN DO.
A History of the Company From
Its First Conception to the
Present Dny.
It Is nearly two years since Mr. K. F.
Hoppe of St. Louis In connection with
two of our enterprising citizens Messrs.
It. Barbeck and William Ksser became
Interested In the Idea of starting n
brewery here for the purpose of making
lager beer whloh It was claimed and
as the sequel will show can under all
the new scientific discoveries be made
In tho Stuth as well as In tho North.
The taree gentlemen named a
after
Isltlng other breweries North getting
figures and statements as to cost of
construction and working capital suc-
ceeded In starting the first movement In
their plans. At the request 0 Mr.
Hoppe upon Inquiry from doubting
Thomases a telegram was sent to New
Orleans asking price of stock In tbe
Southern brewery of New Orleans and
of which Mr. Hoppe Is a large share
holder. The startling answer came back
that It was not In the market hut quoted
at CO per cent premium.
With untiring zeal these gentlemen
now began the uphill work of getting
our citizens and business men Interested
until success crowned their efforts and
they wereenabled to call tho first meet
ing on tbe 8th of August 1883 on which
day the organization was completed by
the following named gentlemen becom-
ing the Incorporators : J. II. Kampmann
II. Harbeck K. F. Hoppe L. S. Ilerg W.
II. Weiss I). J. Mauermann and Wm.
Ksser. Articles of Incorporation were
sworn to on the samo day and deposited
with tho Secretary of State two days
after. At a subsequent meeting the
election for ofllcers resulted as follows :
President J. II. Kampmann; Vice
President and Dullness Manager II.
iiaroccK; secretary pro rem 1. a. nerg.
In a very short time all the stock was
taken up by our citizens who all became
more or less interested in mis new en
ternrlse. A tract of land In the north

Abbat crossing was purchased and work
beean at once to erect the establishment.

The standpoint taken by you In this
Presidential contest excites the sympa-
thy of all true 'Irishmen Imbued with
the principles of 'Til. "Insplteol treaties
Kngland Is still our enemy' said Jcffer-
an assertion which is reiterated to
day despite the toadyism and llunkylsm
of llceohers Joneses Harpers and oth-
In the coming struggle although
Democracy Is dearest to the Irish heart
yet when tho standard bearer of the
party beinl with supplianco to tho dic-
tates of Mother Kngland and assume tho
role of Imperialism It Is tbe duty which
devolves on us now when the opportu-
nity oilers to strike a fatal blow at Kng-
land. Knirllsh Influence and Kngllsh corrup
tion seem to take n widespread march
throughout this country as land grab-
bers monopolists and speculators. No
class of beings can bear comparison
wun mem.
Wben despoiled and outraged Ireland
no longer offers a field fur their base
operations the verdant plains of tho
West furnish n spot where the bloated
Briton may loll and bask In the sun of
Indolence; wben the banks of tho Shan-
non and Llffey tall to furnish cover for
tuis worse tuan Jicngai tiger lilting
haunt's can be found on tbe banks of tbe
St. Lawrence or Mississippi Hero this
carnivorous animal tlnds immunity pro-
tected by tbe stars and stripes. Vie In
viewing tnings generally mil to discern
where tho true American snlrit is. Wo
might exclaim: Degenerate nons of
wormy sires nave you in uunu
friendship to Kngland forgotten that It
was this same Kngland that burned
your towns ravaged your coasts called
Into use the tomahawk and scalping
knue of tbe savage to despatch your
forefathers In their struggle for liberty.
Can tou fortret that this Is tho samo Kn
gland that bought up In the shambles of
every Herman uespot Hessian cut
throats of the most fiendish typo by
the thousands that they might carry
the blood stained banner of St. Georiro
over your burning roof trees and de-
spoiled homes. Americans I would say
Know tuai everything tenuereu oy r.ng-
land under the garb of friendship 0
only tbe forerunner of some hellish de-
slim on vour liberties and social stand
ing. In suppnrtlng Cleveland Kngland
Is actuated by two motives first to
carry out her free trade policy second
to defeat Blaine wbo Is known to cher-
ish no affection for the haggard and de-
crepit old mother. In this contest then
Irishmen must bear a prominent part.
With tbcm the power lies to thwart the
designs of this treacherous foe. United
aotlon Is essential to Buccess. Too long
bavo they done the dirty work of Kng-

THE CITIZENS PROTEST
AGAINST THE BRIDGING) OVER
OF LOSOYA STREET.
And Appoint a Committee to take
Action to Secure nn
Injunction.
A meeting was held In Meyer's hall
on Saturday evening to protest against
the action cf the City Council In grant-
ing Mr. A. Scholz permission loereca
theatre or pavilion by bridging over
Losoya street. Mr. Henry Semllnger
who called the meeting took the chair
and called for nominations for chairman
whereon Mr. Ferdinand Iterff was elect-
Mr. Henry Hyder-Taytor was
chosen as secretary and then the meet
ing was opened. In response to call
r. Leo Tarlcton condemned tho action
of the City Council and declared that
tbe city had no right togrant tbe permit
Mr. Scholz and he was" satisfied that
any District Judge would grant an In
junction upon a nominal bond. Such
cases he said did exist In other cities
but only on aufferanco of the people not
as a right. He thought that It was kind-
ness to Mr. Scholz to object now as
even when the building was erected It
could be declared a nuisance causing
Mr. Scholz a loss of several thousand
iollars.
Judge Howard followed and confirmed
ie opinion expressed by Mr. Tarleton.
In response to call Mr. J. II. Cope-
land roso and made a brief but effective
speech In which he said that he had
long been opposing the Infringement of
public rights and as he regarded the
action of the City Council as Infringing
on me rights 01 iuepuuucne opposed 11.
