That Foot-Bridge.

Ed. Register-In your last weeks issue
IAN Arcadian" asks you the question, "who
shall have to foot the bill if some one should
break leg" on the footway alongside the
railroad bridge across Stout's Creek. When
the railroad was about to be extended south
from Pilot Knob, Engineer Homan and Hon.
Thos. Essex came to the county court and
asked permission to remove the footbridge
then standing at that point, promising if that
permission was given the railroad company,
1t would construct a secure footway along
side the track on the bridge they desired to
throw across the stream; and that they
would keep said footway in good repair at all
times. This proposition was accepted by the
court, and the agreement made a matter of
Russell being appointed to
settle the details. Therefore, if "Arcadian'
or any other man, woman or child suffer
through the i'll repair of that footway, the
railroad company is liable for damages.

People are so industrious here that hap
penings are scarce.
Mrs. Ada Countryman, of Minneapolis,
daughter of Mr.. ,Jaquith, is visiting parents
and friends at Pilot Knob.
Miss Mary Curtis has closed her rchool
near Annapolis and is at home again.
The carpenters hammer is heard I'm many

occupied by Mr.. Dilts, is being enlarged for
Mr.. Delano. The o. & S. Co. are building a
house for Mr.. Tucker, agent for /. NJ. r. 4.
Corporations do not often do thusly.
We were glad to notice the position taken
by the REGISTER last week in the matter Of
st. Louis Police troubles and Governor Crit
ten den. 1t was the lot of your correspond
ent to spend few years of his life in War
The people there who have known him for
twenty years, believe him to be the very en-
bodiment of honor.
Few persons will agree with set. c." of
Goodland, that any one who chooses should
be allowed to practice medicine. Ii suicide
is wrong, one has no right to allow an I'M
skilled pretender to kill him with medicines.
Neither has man the right to employ an
ignoramus at physic to practice with poisons
upon his wife and children, because as "r.
c." says che has the right to employ whom
he pleases TO work for him." If one may be
peTinittcU 10 pTeScTlDe IheulclneS WITHOUT
diploma, strangers may flock into every viii
lage, claiming to be doctors Of approved ex-
perienee elsewhere, and by cunning, secure
the confidence of the public, to the immi-
nent danger of the latter.
Pilot Knob Public School reorganized the
School Literary Society, Friday evening.
The exercises, which consisted of songs, dec
lamations, readings and dialogues, We're rem

Emma Kaths, Belle CRANE, Minnie Dilts and
Emma Miller; reading, by Anna kaths

the expectation of the audience, aud did
great credit 10 the actors. \ .'criticism" or
'review," by Mrs. DiltS, closed the evening.

Center Church.

Commencement of Graduation Exer-
 cises-EIev. Dr. Parlxhurst's Address to
 the Senior Glass Of the Theological
 School.
 There was very large attendance at the Center church last evening on the occasion of the anniversary of the Yale Theological school and the preaching of the annual ser. mon to the graduating class. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Parkhurst of the Madison avenue Presbyterian church and it was very fine effort. The distinguished preacher took Christ as the ideal preacher for all others to follow. In the course of his remarks he said:
 Success in life can surely be atta1ned by following the rules governing it's attainment. In preparation for the ministry haste makes waste and loss. Christ first mastered the written word and is @ model of fidelity to little things. A young minister must pave the way to success by working hard at the steps to success. He cannot jump into fame. Drop by drop the ocean is made. Providence and the Holy Ghost ought to have great deal to do in the location of place of work. Small parishes and faithful work is best for young ministers. Jordan was type or all those modern ministers who preach to make living. Concealed fire will work it's way up. Christ did not preach doctrinal sermons. The truth Is the staff to lean upon, and don't give men the cereal, but give them bread. Christ came into contact with every day men. Nothing assures like assurance and Christ always preached with assurance of what he knew himself Don't lumber the pulpit with politics and science. If you give yourself entirely to your people, your people will give themselves to you. Self sacrifice tells. I fill my pulpit, says Mir. Sturgeon, and then the people fill the chairs. Men do want some thing from God and when they get it they will listen. Don't get afflicted with elf-conseiousness, Let your light shine according to the scripture text. Self forgetfulness is the gist of the whole matter The eloquent preacher was listened to with deep attention by the large audience in atten- dance.

The boat was worth about S1O and Curtis sold it for $5. The captain said he was going to New London for the summer and wanted bill of sale drawn up so that he might buy the boat again at the same price on his return if he should want to. On Saturday parties came to the office at the bridge and made claim for the boat. It seems that Curtis stole the boat in one place and then got the oars in an- other. The boat belonged to George Belch- CT, of 2f1 Franklin street Curtis has not the best kind of character among those who know him and succeeded in imposing on MT. Burt who has lately taken the bridge.
