Editor IOnt0n Register
DEAR SIR: As many inquiries have been
made ut this office by citizens of this county
as to when the Act of Congress, approx ed
June 2Sth, 1884, restoring to the public do
main the land granted to the st. Louis & Iron
Mountain Railroad, would take effect, and as
we are not permitted to incur expense by
advertising the fact, generally, in all the pa
pers in the district, and believing that a
publication thereof As an item of news will
place all interested on an equal footing, and
possibly save loss to some, we have to state
that such lands are now subject to entry I'M
der the homestead and presumption laws, pri-
ority being giver to actual residents thereon
at the passage of said act. Due notice will
be given of the time when said lands will be
offered at public sale, after which they will
become subject to private cash entry.
Very Respectfully,
JAMES II. CHASE, Register.
GEO. III. CRUMB, Receiver.

In the meantime the elected Baptlsts seem
to be hiding in holes and corners, afraid OF
each other and of themselves. They were
urged to organize at once, while the tide OF
popular sympathy in their favor was at the
flood. But rs the adviser is not Baptist,
the suggestion was not acted upon. They
were urged to apply to Rev. Steel, who is a
clear-headed and honest man, and certainly
a Missionary Baptist. What was done in
that respect do not know and do not feel
at liberty to inquire. AS developments arise,
the REGISTER will hear of them.
The Union Sabbath School is moving quiet
along, and T. c. is doing nothing to dis
turb it. Owing to delay in receiving the
Quarterly, the school did not run strongly
last Sabbath. The Easter blowout among
the Catholics at Iron Mountain took away
fewer than expected. The Rev. Warren
taught the senior Bible class, and the organ
troubles.
AS usual, the REGISTER took no active
part, but watched the current of events.
After Sabbath School, Rev. Warren took
his sheep over to smyrna to salt them, but
the REGISTER came home and reviewed the
lesson, and read Froude on Calvinism. The

ANOTHER MORTGAGE.
The Farmers Loan and Trust Company
Against the st. Louis Ore and
Steel Company.

The Farmers Loan and Trust company of
New York last Saturday filed bill in the
United States circuit court directed against
the st. Louis Ore and Steel Company and
seeking to foreclose the mortgage of the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company on the
Ore and Steel Company's property. The bill
recites the existence of the complainant and
respondent corporations, and the constitu-
ton of the st. Louis Ore and Steel Company.
On May ,, 1882, the mortgages sued on was
was made to secure 1000 bonds of 81 900
each, bearing interest at the rate of per
cent. per annum, payable semi-annually on
May and November l, until the mortgage
fell due May /, 1902. The bonds were duly
negotiated This mortgage covered all the
property, real and personal, of the st. Louis
Ore and Steel Company. The Vulcan Iron
works mortgage made to Edgar and Lack
land to secure 81 ,O00,000 worth of bonds is
rected as prior in right to the Farmers
Loan and Trust company mortgage. The
interest on the Vulcan Iron works bonds
excepting thirty seven coupons not pre-
sented) maturing prior to October 10, 1884,
were duly paid. On October 1, 1888, the st.
Louis Ore and Steel company made a mort
gage to Henry Hitchcock and II. NJ. ELEPHANT
upon all the property of the Ore and Steel
company to secure an issue of bonds of the
Grand Tower and Carbondae Railroad COM
pany, amounting IN the aggregate to 5000, 200.
This mortgage is junior to the Farmers
Loan and Trust company. On November /,
1884, the interest accrued on the Farmers
Loan and Trust mortgage was not paid and
has not been paid, whereby one of the con-
ditions in the mortgage has become and is
broken and the conveyance to the trustee
made absolute.
The appointment of the receiver for the st.
Louis Ore and Steel company on July 81,
1884, is recited. The bill further states that
all the property conveyed under the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust company mortgage has
been operated as a single concern, and the
bill prays that the whole thing may be sold
to satisfy the claims of the Farmers Loan
and Trust company and all other creditors
in the order of their rights. A copy of the
mortgage is filed with the bill.
This bill is very likely to cut into the very
vitals of the Ore and Steel litigation, as under
it 4 foreclosure may be effected that will sell
all the company's property, including the
Vulcan iron works, such sale being subject
to the Edgar Lakeland mortgage.

A new timetable for the railroad went in
to effect last Sunday. Nos. COL and 604 arrive
here about fifteen minutes earlier than here
tofore. But the most important change is
that in reference to the Arcadia Accommo-
dation. 1t now makes the run to st. Louis
in three housekeeping here at $3.50 A. NJ,
and arriving at st. Louis ut $3.50. The even
ing train leaves st. Louis at 1880 and arrives
Mt Arcadia at ! 80. This gives the country
man seven hours i'm the city in one day; while
the advantage to summer visitors in the VAL
ley is very great, indeed. 1t is rumored that
att some not very distant day, ireclining-
chairs will take the place of the present
coaches. For these advantages, obtained and
prospective, we may particularly thank one
or two gentlemen who are known to have
the good OF the Valley at heart, and who APP
preciate its excellence as summer resort
1t is to be regretted that they are not more
warmly seconded by permanent residents
who could, if they would, materially advance
its interests in this particular.
