A True Fish Story.

Two months ago j. T. AXE, f.. Scoville and
George Schultz made fishing trip to the Iron
Mountain dam, with permission of c. A.
Pilley, the gentlemanly Superintendent, and
the kindly assistance of A. j. Sypher, the
Master Machinist. Soon after the fishing
boat was in position, J. T. AXE caught three
bass which were put in a basket provided
for the purpose, and the basket fastened to
the boat and allowed to sink i'm the water.
In moving the boat, the string became UNI
tied, and the basket and fish went to the
bottom Of the dam and could not be found.
Yesterday, Mr.. Sypher recovered the basket,
and two of the fish were found to be alive;
but the third had entirely disappeared. The
conclusion is that the missing fish was eaten
by the other two, and by this means they
kept alive. Mr.. Sypher concluded the two
living fish were entitled to their liberty, and
turned them loose in the dam--to their salts

We give these facts and figures for the bene-
fit of the many who have not the time or OPP
portunity to inquire into the matter person
ally. The rumors as to 0urtreasury having
but little or no cash in it were set adoat, we
think in this manner: IL was suggested ut a
meeting of the council that our city ortii-
nances be revised and reprinted. A com
mittee of three councilmen were appointed
to see as to the probable cost of the propos-
ed revision. When the committee made its
report. advising that the work be done and
giving the amount they supposed Il would
cost, quite controversy was raised between
the assembled 'city fathers" In the course
of which argument n councitinan said there
was not seyenty-five cents in the treasury
and ridiclIled the suggestion of contracting
so large debt with so poor u chance OF be-
ing able to liquidate it. The council "sat
down" on the proposed revision. We think

S. Mex. F., i'm "L4ife's Spice," published
in the Pennington Times, takes exceptions
to Frank Leslie's special edition, illustrating
the Trades Procession i'm st. Louis, because
the artist has represented some ladies stand
ing with open parasols viewing the process
sion, while the parade took place at night.
Now, for the life of us, we can't see what she
can see in that to excite her mirth. Il the ar
tist had pictured u couple Of Goods noblest

thick wooden mits, or dressed in some other
foolish manner Mrs. F. would have been
justified in 'tpoking fun" at the engraving.
But to allow herself to be "drawn out" be-
cause some misinformed sketcher has failed
to keep up with the latest style and fashion
crazes of womankind, is 4 surprise to us.
How could that poor artist tell women didn't
carry parasols at night?-(but they do, and
keep them open, too, If they are pretty and

The serenade of Sir George Knight

| composed for the REGISTER by the Fly ing Dutch
mans little brother
As well as l remember,
1t was sometime in September,
The Hogan Band, with all its might,
Serenaded Sir Geo. knight.
| They marched with plume and banner gay,
O'er mountains they cheered their way,
Expecting soon to see sight
The trembling form of Sir Geo. knight.
On Carver creek, where snow balls bloom,
Was where they found bride and groom;
They halted on the mountains hight,
Before opening upon Sir Geo. Knight.
Horns and bells rang out so clear
That Conley's hounds shifting I'm the rear
Did bowl aloud with pure delight,
At the serenade of Sir Geo. Knight.
A watchdog brave stood at the gate,
Little dreaming of his fate.
At first he showed little fight,
But soon left the field to Sir Geo. Knight.
A horse, feeding all alone,
Soon took heels for parts unknown;
Mile by mile in maddened flight,
lie left behind Sir Geo. knight.
When ut last the field was clear,
Demand was made for lager beer.
There came growl, in expression warlike,
From the yoiceless lips OF Sir Geo. knight.
Said he: 81 have no money or beer;
II very thirsty, the spring is near.
Pm sorry to be caught In such plight
Go drink to the health Of Sir Geo. knight"
Fifty voices screeched forth mot ~"
1--WE are not so all fired dry!
But We'll round you up; then unite
To hide the wagon of Sir Geo. Knight"
The father now with anger ragged
And sought to have us safely Gagged
"a writ) but who such thing could write
CONCLUSION
The Hogan Band is now dispersed,
With faded plume and banner torn;
The mountain hight in solemnity immersed,
The watchdog brave returned next day
cannot tell how far he went.
The horse ran seven miles away
No doubt oil leaving Carver he was bent.
Sir Georges dreams are not so sweet:
This noted spring Is dry,
His wagon is without y seat,
A tear Is in his eye.
The fathers anger Is undated,
But this cannot last forever;
The serenade was moderated
Is what threw him in such a fever.

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCE
MENT.
The Coming of s. Fl. Barrett & Co.'s
New United Monster Rail-
road Shows

Next to the Presidential Election, the
greatest occurrence among the people of this
section this year will be the advent of S. H.
Barrett l. Co.'s Great Show, which will ex-
hibit at Ironton on Oct. Sth, 1884.
This monster organization, the fame of
which extends over two hemispheres, comes
to us with the highest encomiums favorably
given from all quarters. We can safely say
ourselves that the man or woman who miss
es this opportunity Of seeing the greatest
show in the world Chat Is what it isl will
not have our sympathy If the miss was In
territorial, because sympathy will be needed
and much vain regret will be In order-after
the show has gone-by those who did not
see II.
A few of the important features of the
many hundred new ones added this year are
worth recapitulating. Messrs. S. II. Barrett
& Co. bring this year in connection with the
wonders of last season, monster manatee
or sea cow, captured by an exploring and
fishing party off the coast of Florida, in
American waters. This strange member OF
the amphibia is the only one living in captiv-
ity i'm the world to-day, and, in fact, the Sec
ond one ever captured, the first having died
while on exhibition In Philadelphia at the
International Exposition Of 1916. This grea,
show has the largest living elephant in the
world (Xerxes), very mountain of flesh
1t brings n Menagerie Of 100 dens and cages
Of living wild animals. Its ring perform
ances, with nm all-stsr list of 1jo of the great.
est names known to the profession. Its
Deep Sea Aquarium is filed with monster.
of the gray oil ocean. Its Museum has won.
ders from all parts or the world too numer.
ous and strange to be listed: and. I'm wore
it is--all say it is--thc greatest show in tn,
world.

"More, far more dear'y. Oh, ever SO
much more"
"Would you," she went on, and
there was a tremulous impressiveness
in her voice that warned the young
man that the star was going to leave
her lines and spring something new on
the house-s'would you be wiling to
work and wait for me. as Rachael
waited at the we'll, seven long years?"
"Seven!" he cried, in burst OF
genuine devotion. "Seven! Aye,
