Last Sunday evening was pleasantly spent
by the young folks of this place. A birthday
party of Miss Mary Immer and John Ame-

they dispersed, promising to be present on
all similar occasions.
Quite an amusing accident occurred last
week. A number of box cars had been show
ed above the furnace to- be loaded with pig
iron. One of them happened to have no
brake chain, and our young darkey friend
did not notice it until the car had acquired
considerable speed. When near the place to
stop it, he began winding the brake, but to
his sursrise it did not slacken the speed. A
few rods ahead were some loaded cars, and
thinking there would be terrible collision,
and he would be hurried out of Missouri, he
descended THE ladder of the box car with as
tonishing rapidity. Longing for one more
look at the distance between the loaded cars
and the movingsbox, he turned his head, but,
some way he managed to lose his manly grip
on the ladder, and consequently he turned a
mid air. After picking himself
up and finding he was still alive, and his
chances for life were as good as the next fell
lows, took halliday lay off, to recover from
his scare and rub his bruised self with the
remedy. st. Jacobs Oil.
A surprise party was rendered Miss Clara

Mamie and Rene Zwart, of Ironton, and Miss
Ella Lang, Of Pennington, accompanied by
young gentlemen from st. Louis, were at

It is decided by the United States
Circuit Court for Iowa that a delivery
of goods to common carrier, though
not designated by the purchaser, is a
good and perfect delivery to the latter.
The carrier is for that occasion the pur-
chaser's agent. The possession after
such delivery is in the purchaser, and
the goods are at his risk. The lien of
the vendor for the price is. upon the de-
livery to the carrier, lost by reason of
the fact that the possession has been
transferred from him to the purchaser.

the following remarkable passage:
Finally, the medieval representa-
ton ofhell and the punishment of the

to reason. to the moral sense of man

justify the humiliation Of its propaga

in art, as in Michael Angeles Last

Recent discussions about the sign

into notice the interesting process Of
the manufacture of American paper
money. United States notes are
printed on paper made in Dalton. a
small town in Massachusetts, and each
blank sheet Of the peculiar paper used
Is guarded almost as carefully as if il
were already printed and signed. The
mill In which it is made is one of the
oldest in the country, having been
established in colonial times, The
grayish pulp, which is the embryo
form Of the paper, passes between
heavy rollers and as it moves along
bits of blue and red silk thread are
scattered over its surface. From the
pulp room to the vaults In which it is
stored until 1t is sent to Washington
it is iealously watched. 1t is carried
to Washington in small iron safes like
those used by express companies. and
some OF 1t is kept in the Treasury
vaults for years, until it is needed. The
mere possession of any of this paper
BY an unauthorized person is a felony.
More than a thousand persons are EN-
ployed in the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving, at wetting, plate
