Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1885-10-01

Who says advertising doesn't pay? w. b
Newman, ESQ.,, a couple Of weeks ago adver
tised in the REGISTER for "a girl,n and las
Thursday 10 and behold, a mighty nice little
bit OF femininity came to his household. AL
are doing well.
The attention of the public is directed tC
the new advertisements in this paper
Wmtworth Sons, Bonanza, farmhouse
and the Annex, all come in with their dis.
plays OF goods and bids for patronage. Some
one has said that Pennington is the adver-
Using town of Southeast Missouri, but who
ever he was, he evidently was not posted.
LOOK at this paper-nineteen columns of
living home advertisements! We Just think
our merchants are world-beaters when it
comes to enterprise, or Advertising the
terms are synonymous. For ourself, we are
proud OF this patronage and these evidences
OF goodwill; We are also glad that the REG
IsTER's circulation is such as to justify the
OUTLAWS in advertising lis customers make:
we print for actual, bona-ide subscribers,
almost one thousand copies, and hope to
over-run that number within the next
month.
| OA SSuoOi SOuliuicSlOucEs JUN SSCOtt,
requests the teachers of Iron county to meet
| him at the public school building, Saturday
| morning, October 10th, at O'Clock, for the
purpose of recognizing said Association.
1t Is the intention to have one session
| month, from TO II O'Clock. The work of
| teachers is of such a character as to enable
even layman to see the acknowledgement,
the necessity-of teachers counseling with
each other; especially do the young and in
experienced need the help which ihe intelli-
gent experience of the older are competent
to give. Let there be general turnout of
teachers and friends of education, for others
besides teachers can become members. We
want the proceedings of this Association ev-
cry month, and we trust that The publication
Of the same will reflect credit on all The
teachers Of Iron county, by at least showing
thel" presence at the meetings.
Last Sunday week two strangers hired
livery rig-an open buggy or carriage with
two horses-f'om Collins & Stafford 10 make
a trip to Belleview, they said. They didn't
| come back, however, and day or two after
Stafford went after them. The last we hear
from the pursued is from Steelvile through
through that town last Monday, going west.
Says the Mirror: "They had an open buggy
| two small horses, one an iron gray, the 9TH
er black mare. The mare has a wart in
side the left stiie, and the horse has wen
on one of his fore ankles. A liberal reward
will be paid for Information or return Of the
team. Since the above was in type we learn
that the men left the buggy at Mr.. Halbe"t's
near here, borrowed a couple of saddles and
rode the horses off, claiming TO be stock
buyers" The Anti-Thief Association has
supplied the pursuers with money, and they
will follow the thieves till they get them.
A large number of friends and relatives of
Christian Amelung, the Master Mechanic of
the st. Louis Ore and Steel company, assem-
bled at his residence last Saturday night, the |
Goth, to do honor to his SD birthday. Some |
of the guests are old landmarks of Pilot |
Knob. Mr.. August Gockel and lady, Messrs. |
Henry Ahrens, Sr., Willie Philips, Jno. |
Ebrecht, Henry Vasteling, Mr.. and Mrs. |
Edward Waters, Mr.. and Mrs. Will Anne
lung, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Amelung, and |
number of others whose names l could not |
get, were present. Through Mrs. Christian /
Amelung, the Pilot Knob Band was invited |
without Mr.. Amelung's knowledge, so he
was completely taken by surprise. He re-
preached his good vile rinviting the band
aud not being prepared for them; but he
was finally quieted down by being told all
necessary preparations had been made to
entertain not only the band but numerous
guests as well. And such entertainment can |
only be known 10 those who have had the
good fortune of being The guests of Mr.. and |
NJ IS. Christian AmeluDg. May they both live |
20 see the occasion duplicated many times.
We copy the following especial" from |
Washington to the Globe Democrd; last Sat- |
urday: "Mr. Thomas A. Robertson, of Ar |
cadia, Mo-, was to-day sworn in as special |
counsel for the Interior Depart ment. The |
late Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose of investigating claims of citizens of
the United States against the Indians for dep
redati ons committed. Most of these claims
grow out of the raids in Kansas, Oregon and
Minnesota. There are $500 of these and
they aggregate about $S0O0,OOO. They have
bee dragging along, many Of them for ten
years, and there are few old timers going
back 20 1888. Congress made the appropri-
alton with the view Of having them taken out
of the usual routine, sifted and reported
upon in order that they might be finally dis
posed Of. NJ. Roberson's appointment puts
him in charge of the investigation of the
cases. He will have to make examination of
the testimony and send his findings to the
Secretary of the Interior, who will embrace
the recommendations in his report TO Con-
gress. A room in the Interior Department
has been assigned to MI. Robertson, with a
clerk, stenographer and messenger. He is
fairly entitled to be known hereafter to all
Missourians as Judge Robertson. The young
gentleman is graduate of ST. Louis Univer-
SHY and of the Michigan University Law
School. He is fairly entitled to his appoint
ment by right of discovery. In looking over
the appropriation bills of the last session he
came upon this particular clause, drew Com
missioner Atkins attention to the matter,
satisfied him as to his qualifications, and got
the place"
