The st. Louis Variety Store.

As this house advertises largely and has
been a long time in Ironton, the reporter felt
a curiosity to examine it, which was all the
greater because the firm had recently swarm
ed and set up another house in the southern
part of the State.
The building or business house is ITO feet
long and 40 feet wide, and has Il very roomy
cellar under it, and two warehouses near by,
all well filed with goods and produce, CIV
ing everywhere clear evidence of q good
business. In one warehouse there are stoves,
furniture and farming implements; in an
other grain, vegetables, fruit, flour and corn
meal. The cellar contains groceries. But
the main floor Of the building is the chief
attraction. The goods are all skillfully ar
anged so as to be easily accessible and read
lily examined. After dark thirty large lamps
pour food of light all over the room, pro-
duci1g grand effect. At one side is a fine
room, very neatly fitted up, which is well
filled with admirably made millinery, and is
presided over by Mrs. Lopez and her daugh-
ter, Miss Henrietta. Here any woman, who
either wears clothing in order to be clothed
or to break the heart of man or rouse the
spleen of another woman, can be suited.
Mrs. and Miss Lopez have fine skill in COM
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1882-11-16

bining colors so rs to produce the best eff
fects. In the main room may be found
about ton of clothing-suits varying from
two dollars up to thirty, being large enough
for any man and small enough for any boy,
of all colors and styles Of goods. Boots from
one dollar per pair upward; clocks from two
dollars upward; watches from six dollars up
to seventy-fve; guns from a strong, plain,
double barrelled shot gun at $3.50 up through
an assortment of rifles, at various prices, to
Winchester at $25-and the cheapest gun in
the house at that. 1t combines all the ad-
vantages of a first-class rifle and two first
class revolvers, and is altogether the best
gun that is made.
But it is not the intention of this article to
give an inventory Of their stock of goods ,and
the matters will be dismissed by saying that
all the promise In their advertisements will
be made good. The house gives full employ
ment to Mrs. and Miss Lopez and Messrs.
George Lopez, David and William Reece,
Ferdinand Schmitz and VIM. Collins.
The firm does business on the Chicago plan,
and is qnietly extending its business, and
bids fair to be, at no distant day, troublesome
for all the rest of Ironton. 1t will always
pay to visit that house.

Bismarck Items.

Mr.. John Renick has removed to Ogden,
Utah, where he will practice law.
Mr.. Joe Horton and Miss Lucy Denton
were married last week. Both of this Vi
cinty.
MIR. D. S. Proffitt, in this vicinity, has sold
his farm and moved to town, where he is
building neat residence.
Rev. J. w. Swift, of Belleview, who has
been paster Of the Baptist Church for the
past ecclesiastical year, has been re-engaged
for the new year.
At the election Tuesday, A. J. Mccoy was
elected Justice, and Jules G. Jaeger was
elected to succeed L. NJ. p. Cole as Consta-
bic of Iron township.
The health Of Bismarck is good-in fact,
permanently so. However, that is not a
news item, as it is proverbially the healthiest
place between st. Louis and San Antonio.
The young folks of this place will give a
dramatic entertainment on the night of the
22d inst, at the new Union Church building.
The proceeds are to augment the church
fund.
Bismarck has an enterprise-or, at least,
there is one in this vicinity which bids fair to
gain nationrl reputation. refer to Monte
flumina Spring, which is situated about two
miles east of Bismarck, in the most beautiful,
attractive and healthful location, 1 dare say,
in the entire State. Its waters are said to
have effected some almost miraculous, and
those who know (and everybody you meet
here knows something about it) say they are
efficacious in a wide range of maladies. A
large hotel has been erected and is now
nearly finished; preparations are being made
to put up others, and things may be said to
be booming as regards the Springs. Pre-
Stunning that you sometimes drink water lis

Incest and Rape.

Henry Pierce, denizen of Pilot Knob-a
recent cOmer-was arrested last Monday,
charged with the awful crime of criminal in
timaey with his own daughter, little girl of
eleven years. His preliminary was held be-
fore Judge Dinger on Tuesday afternoon,
and resulted in the defendants being remain
ded to Jail in default of bail, to await the
coming term of the circuit court. His bond
was fixed at $1,000. The evidence was clear
and conclusive, and in effect as follows:
About one week ago, Pierce, with his little
daughter, came to board at James Tomp-
kfas' in Pilot Knob. Last Sunday the daugh-
ter went to her fathers bedroom, and short
ly afterward Mrs. Tompkins heard her cry
ing. The partitions separating the rooms
are thin, and not sight-proof. Mrs. T. ad-
vised the boarders, three or four being in
the house at the time, that something was
amiss in Pierce's room, and they all looked
through a crack In the partition and saw SUI
ficient to hang the brute If the full weight of
the law be given him.
They had Pierce arrested, and took charge
of the little girl, who stated that her father
had been "acting in that way for two years -
and that he had threatened to kill her if ey-
er she told any one. The child's mother had
died near three years ago. Immediately after
the examination was concluded the prisoner
was taken to the station at Arcadia, and
shipped to ST. Louis for safe keeping. If he
had been put into the Jail here there would
in all probability have been another lynch
ing affair, for many threats have been made
during the past two DAYS. For our part, we
hope he may live to be hanged legally.

A sick tramp died in Carter's livery stable
yesterday. He came into town-nobody can
tell from where-on Thursday night, and lay
on the porch in front Of the Land office,
through all the storm that ragged that night,
unheeded and unsheltered. Next morning,
ne was taken to theidepot and ticket to st.
Louis procured for him; but no conductor
would receive him, owing to city laws impos-
ing heavy penalties on the railroads for the
bringing of paupers into the city. So the
poor devil, sick unto death, was left on the
depot platform until evening, when, through
the Intervention of some charitable citizens,
he was transferred to the livery stable, where
he received such attention as could be given
until death ended all.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Mark Lane Er-
press issued to-day says: 1t is now beyond
doubt that the acreage of wheat in 1888
will be extremely limited. The tendency
is dull and distinctly downward, and bust
ness was quite nominal. For foreign
wheat there was merely retail inquiry.
Rates were nominally unchanged. Car
goes off coast inanimate, but sixteen arri-
walls and three sales. Forward trade is
practically suspended. Flour is generally
cheaper and poorer qualities difficult of
sale. Foreign -four is in large supply.
Barley is easier, holders making conces-
sions in order to effect sales. Foreign is
dull and cheaper. Oats unchanged. For
eign oats in heavy supply and prices down.
Maize irregular, prices fallen fully 6 shil-
ings from top figures, and spot supply

IMPRISONED FOR DEBT.
Release of Canadian Defaulter After
Being In the Chicago Jail Over Two
Years and q Half.

Release of Canadian Defaulter After
Being in the Chicago Jail Over Two
Years and Half,
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-A decision by Judge
Barnum yesterday resulted in the release
from the county Jail of NJ. II. Escott, who
has been confined in the Jail since July 2,
1880, presumably as debtor. The fact is
that Judgment in suit for debt was the
only form in which his creditors could lay
their hands upon him, as his offense
was not one of those to which the provis-
ions of the extradition treaty applies. The
most peculiar part of the history of the
case, however, is the technicality on which
the prisoner was ordered to be released.
This was simply the failure of the plaint-
ifs in the action of debt to
pay the prisoners board on
time. Escott was arrested on a
Saturday, and on two occasions his weekly
board bill was paid on Saturday, instead of
on the Friday before, so that there were a
few hours, minutes or seconds when there
was no money up to pay his bills. The
prisoners shrewd lawyer seized the oppor-
tunity, and the result is the release of the
Canadian defaulter after an involuntary
boarding house experience of nearly two
and half years. Judge Barnum rested
his decision on one delivered by the cele-
brated Lord Mansfield, of England, in a
similar case. The same decision was made
by Judge Tuley in similar case a week
ago. Previous to this successful attempt
for liberty, Escott had tried to schedule out
three times as an insolvent debtor, and
twice been in court for writ of habeas
corpus. Each time he was remanded back
to jail, his creditors. claiming he had con-
cealed assets. The latter are much cha
grined, having determined to shut him up
for life if possible.
