to its closing: it a natural sequence to Satur-
days late recovery that was based upon the abso.
lutely false reports then circulated by agen-
ces relative to settlements Of any of the pools Of TIE

ness which was impaired to it solely by
the efforts of manipulation, but which was
unequal to the task of holding prices in the
face of the free offerings of stocks that followed.
The business of the day was unusually well
distributed. The transactions amount to 336700
shares, and ST. Paul and Union Pacific are the
only two stocks that assumed an undue prominence
in the dealings: those two together contributed

Neutrality-suspicious..


On last Wednesday evening at the Congre-
gational Church the marriage ceremony of
Miss Mary Myers and Mr.. Elisha Harrington
was performed by Rev. DR.. johnson. The
ceremony was beautiful and impressive, and
the church was filled with spectators. The
satin, orange blossoms and long, flowing tulle
veil, presenting charming appearance, Of
which we thought the groom was fully con-
infant, judging from the look Of pride and
the firm step with which he left the church
after the Gordian knot had been tied.
After the ceremony at the church the in
vited guests, of which there were a great
number, repaired to the residence of the
BRIDES parents on Easton street, where hearty
congratulations were extended the newly
made one. The BRIDES supper served to the
assembled guests was marvel of nicely and
delicacy, and was relished by all who par
took. The happy pair left on the 1917 ex-
press for Poplar Bluff from which place aft
er short stay they go to Little Rock and
commence the encounter with the joys and
sorrows of married life. Mr.. Harrington's
home is in Little Rock, where he has tive
brothers, all railroad men, running trains out
of Little Rock. MIR. Harrington has wide
spread acquaintance on the Iron Mountain
Road, and Is well spoken and thought OF
every where. The many presents testified
to the great number of friends of the bride
and groom.-De Soto Wotchnaan.

The practice of hunters running deer with
dogs is severely and justly denounced by
local sportsmen, who depend upon human
skill to bring down the game. Hounds are
generally used by parties who come from q
distance, who have no other idea than to
slaughter lots of game within a few days,
and who have no cause to desire its preser-
walton for those who reside in the locality.
These parties have been unusually numerous
this season, and local hunters have been ex-
asperated at their wholesale slaughter of the
game which all have assisted the law In pro-
tecting, in order that it might not become ex-
tlnct- In some eases, after having warned
these foraging parties to 'call OF their dogs
Intellectually, the dogs themselves have been
made TO suffer; and more than one person
has departed the hunting grounds with his
pack reduced in numbers through the un-
erriny aim Of the hunter who "goes 1t alone )"
There is a law against the seining of fish,
and we do not see why statute preventing
the running Of deer by hounds would not be
equally just. A few packs of hounds will, in
few days. time, drive hundreds of deer
from any locality, and leave it bare Of all the
larger game.

Christmas Goods at j. n. Bishops.
The Mines at Pilot Knob.

IRoNToN, Mo-, Dec. 9Th, 1884.
Ed. REPRESENTATION me to give the readers
of the REGISTER a little information per-
tanning to tie welfare of the Pilot Knob Iron
Mines. There is a rumor circulated in this
Valley that the above mines will be closed;
and, if closed, will not work again for twen-
ty-five years or more, on account Of the
Southern furnaces furnishing st. Louis mar
kets with pig iron at twelve dollars per ton;
and that it is impossible for those mines to
work and compete with the Southern iron
trade. In the first place, the parties who
make these assertions know nothing about
mining, or how to work the above mines at
q profit. If the South puts her products
dow n at St. Louis for twelve dollars per ton,
it is benefit to ST. Louis, well as the
South. Now, in regard to the Pilot Knob
Mines, it is known that those mines were
paying up to the time when they went into
hands of the United States Court, and until
they closed July 31st
The mine resumed operations in Novem-
Der and is paying larger dividends to-day
than she ever did before in her mining his
tory. The ore is being shipped to West Vir-
GINA furnaces where Gas my informant says)
they are making iron and putting it at St.
Louis for twelve dollars ton. If Pilot Knob
mines close, it will not be that they can't be
worked at profit. There were no complaints
against this department Of the Ore and Steel
Company. The Pilot Knob property is more
valuable to-day than ever before since its or
ganization. And as soon "a the difficulties
between the company and its creditors are
settled, there is no doubt that this valuable
mine will work more extensively than ever
before. II the Sou h ship her pig iron to st.
Louis markets at profit, we are to-day
shipping ore to the Southern furnaces at a
larger profit. Pilot Knob Mine will work
and ship her ore to the Southern furnaces at
fair profit. 1t looks to me, Mr.. Editor,
that we have parties i'm our Valley who are
| not friends towards our mines and mining,
and they appear to discourage rather than
encourage any mining enterprise that might
spring up in our midst. If mining men will
| attend to mining and merchants to merchant
| dising, ministers to preaching, and teachers
| to teaching, doctors to medicine, and each
and every one in the different callings were
to help and encourage every and all enter.
prises that might spring up in our midst, II
would be better for all concerned, and would
encourage capitalists to invest in and around
this beautiful Arcadia Valley, not only in
mining but i'm manufacturing, etc.

From Des Arc.
DEs ARC. Dec

DIES ARC, Dec. It'll, 1884.
Ed. Reg;ster-After q long silence will
give you few items from our little town.
Everything is quiet since since the election,
and farmers are winding up their corn crops
and preparing for winter.
Corn crops are better this year than ever
known, and selling quite readily at 40c per
bushel; but wheat is worth nothing, and a
good many farmers are not putting in any
crop.
The hog crop Is also good, and pork is SELL
ing readily at &c cash or &c in goods. Farm
ers, upon the whole, are in better condition
than any one else.
The tie contract still goes on here, and is
great help to the working class. The mills
are also making better time, and orders are
coming In lively.
The granite works have also opened up at
this place, and If the business proves 10 be
good it will help out old Des Arc wonderful
ly. They are working six men and will put
on six more this week.
The funeral of Henry Hartman was preach
ed at Fitz's Mill to-day. He was killed last
month while driving four-mule team for
T. P. Fitz. He ran bis wagon against a tree,
and it fell on his head and shoulders, killing
him instantly. Strange to say, he was riding
the saddle mule, and it was not hurt.
We are sorry to hear of the severe sickness
of S. j. Sordan. Hope he will soon be on his
feet, and can go to the city and get a shave
with "Uncle Isaac" would suggest to him
If his temperance doctor would give him
plenty of whisky toddy every day, it would
help out more than all your iron and quinine.
I omitted to say that our old rooster, after
standing three severe protracted meetings,
gave down and died since j. G. Blaine and
j. H. Morse were defeated. Sorry to say j.
II. did not touch bottom or side, and has not
been heard from since.
Our new sheriff was in town this week.
Don't know his business, and don't care to
know; for the looks of sheriff are not so
agreeable.
Mrs. Chiffon, of Brunot, has returned from
a months visit to see her grandchildren in
Ozark county.
W. E. Chiffon is still shipping hogs and
cattle from here to st. Louis. He also won
a hundred dollars on Cleveland.
Col. T. B. Lowe was in town last week, land
had his picture taken on the hill. DR.. john
son was the artist.
Mr.. Jas Semands has bought Nose 'ollins'
farm, near here
Uncle Dick is putting an addition to his
hotel, which will add very much to its looks
as we'll as convenience.
Miss Ann Garrison, of Annapolis, is visit
ing our town.
Peter Hinkle was in town yesterday. He
has bought Dr. Halls farm, on Big Creek,
near Brunot.
The sections on the railroad have been
heightened IL to IA miles, and every other
section boss is let out. This is new wrinkle.
Well, will close by asking you one ques-
ton:
Why is it that no one is allowed to vote
within the limits of the District of Columbia?

1.-THE District is similar in organization to
a territory, and no vote can be given for can
didates for national offices Except delegates

Cape Girardeau, Mo.

| CAPE QIRARDEAu, Dec. 4th, 1854.
| Ed. Register Having never seen any arti-
Giles in your paper about this part Of the State,
| thought would attempt to describe 70 you
one Of its principal cities, Cape Girardeau.
It is connected with the St. Louis, I. NJ. & S.
R'y; this together with its position affords
ample privilege for communication with the
| surrounding country. A new railroad Is
soon to be built, which win connect with
some Of the principal lines in Illinois, there
by making connections with the leading roads
| In the southern part Of the State.
1t promises fair to become one Of the most
fourishing cities in Missouri. It has several
large Touring mills, foundries, staye facto-
ries, &c.
It has several educational institutions, viz:
st. Vincents College, st. Vincents Young
| Ladies Academy, and several parochial
| schools. Last but n Ut least the State Normal
School which ranks first among the Normals
Of the State. Its influence on the people is
greater than that Of all the others, which is
readily seen by the number Of trained teach
ers which it sends out yearly to the public
schools throughout the State. The yearly IN
crease of the number Of students gives sufii-
cient evidence that the school is doing good
| work. lt'is conducted by some Of the lead
| ing teachers of the State, viz: Professors
Norton, Henry, McGhee, Douglas, Carhart,
Mrs. F. Cheney and Miss K. Shoot.
The branches taught are those of vital i'm
portance in the work of teaching. All pains
are taken to make the student master of what
he studies.
Vocal and instrumental music are taught
in the building by Prof. Eckhardt, gradu-
ate of the Conservatory of Musicin Stuttgart,
Germany.
The school is not wanting in the means Of
literary culture. 1t has three leading socie-
ties, known as the Zenonian, Philomathean
and Adelphic; which are conducted by the
teachers.
The AS or graduating class of this school
year will give Milton Birthday Entertain
ment on the 9th inst.
This is an indication of the great interest
which the pupils take in the advancement Of
the school.
Pres. Norton, who was for two weeks con-
fined to his bed, is again able to be up, and
to spend part of the day at his post of duty.
The school learns with deep regret Of the
death of Miss Louisa Boss of Middlebrook, a
member of the "B" class Of last year. By
her fidelity, her earnestness, her amiable
disposition, she had won the affection Of
teachers and pupils, in whose hearts she con-
tinues to live, and will live while their MEM
cries last. A STUDENT.
